Why are you messing with her? She is full of space beasts.

Seeing that they had all swallowed the pill, Ji Jiuying said calmly, "From now on, you will be immune to all poisons."

The ten people were shocked, but even more shocking things were yet to come.

"This is a space ring. It contains various elixirs, poisons, your corresponding spells, weapons, etc. As my subordinates, you are still too inexperienced."

Ji Jiuying said this and raised her hand to flick ten rings towards them.

The ten people were stunned again. What kind of master were they following? Isn't this too generous?

However, after they checked what was inside the ring, they realized what a shocking critical hit was.

After they left, Ji Jiuying stayed in the space and picked up the Tianzhu Book to study the various professions in this world. Since she had all-round spiritual roots, she would certainly not waste such a good resource.

Two days passed quickly and Ji Jiuying let out a breath.

Today is the first day of the Genius Competition. I wonder if that man has woken up? Will he show up?

After breakfast, Ji Jiuying hurried to the genius competition arena. Many practitioners had already arrived.

Ji Jiuying found a secluded spot and sat down until everyone arrived.

A lot of familiar faces～～

Suddenly, an unpleasant drake voice was heard, "The Emperor has arrived!"

A middle-aged man in bright yellow walked slowly over and sat in the main seat, followed by the Queen and Concubine Liang.

Hearing this, everyone in the square knelt down and saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the queen."

Ji Jiuying only half squatted down.

"Be flat!"

Everyone stood up.

The emperor looked at the empty chair on the right side of the main seat with some confusion. Didn't the imperial teacher say that he would preside over the ceremony? Why was he nowhere to be seen?

The emperor was not the only one who had the same doubts!

The fourth princess Jun Luoli stared at the empty seat with an anxious look on her face.

Just when everyone was feeling confused, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air.

A man in black suddenly appeared on the main seat, with a powerful pressure coming immediately. An exquisite black robe covered his slender body, and he wore a black mask of the same series on his face, revealing only a pair of dark pupils.

He was born with an air of arrogance that looked down upon the world, and he gave off an invisible sense of oppression that made people afraid to approach him.

After seeing the person sitting in the main seat, everyone except the emperor and the empress knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly.

Ji Jiuying couldn't help but be surprised. Although she had long known that Gong Mingyue was like a god in Cangyue Country, she didn't expect his majesty to be so high.

Ji Jiuying secretly looked up at the man in the main seat, but she never expected that the man in the main seat was looking at her. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.

She raised her eyes and met his gaze again. He had a deep expression and a hint of smile in his eyes as he stared at her.

Ji Jiuying was stunned for a moment. When he saw her, he felt a little flustered.

"Xiao Jiuer, do you miss me?" Gong Mingyue's somewhat teasing voice came into his mind.

Ji Jiuying looked at him and did not answer his question, but asked him, "How are you?"

"Xiao Jiu'er, are you concerned about me?"

"..."

Ji Jiuying glared at Gong Mingyue and simply ignored this frivolous man.

Seeing that Ji Jiuying ignored him, Gong Mingyue raised the corners of his mouth slightly under the mask, and then answered seriously, "I feel much better after taking Xiao Jiuer's pills."

Only then did Ji Jiuying nodded with satisfaction.

The emperor saw that the imperial teacher had been silent and was about to give him a reminder.

"Your Majesty should preside over the Genius Competition today. I am a little overwhelmed."

Emperor Jun Bufan and the Queen were both stunned for a moment. How could an emperor preside over a genius competition? But since the Imperial Master had spoken, he quickly recovered and coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me preside over it?" Duke Ji Guo stepped forward and said.

The queen's heart skipped a beat, knowing that her father was doing this for her. He was taking a gamble!

Princess Liang took a look and thought, humph, he is really not afraid of death. For the sake of fame, is Duke Ji rushing forward to offend the Imperial Master?

Emperor Jun Bufan was naturally pleased to see someone coming to take over, but ~ he turned his head to glance at the Imperial Master and found that he was looking straight ahead and didn't seem to have much opinion on the matter of Duke Ji.

In fact, they were overthinking! Gong Mingyue was too lazy to care about their affairs! If he hadn't wanted to find the person who could smell the fragrance in his body as soon as possible, he would not have come to this genius competition at all.

What's more, he has found that person now~

Gong Mingyue's gaze has been on Ji Jiuying since he appeared, and the women near her all lowered their heads shyly, and each of them felt that the Imperial Master was looking at them.

······

"Then let Duke Ji preside over it!"

The Queen and Duke Ji both breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the order, Duke Ji used his spiritual power to make sure everyone could hear it, and began to read it out.

"Be quiet. Today is our Cang Yue Nation's annual genius competition. I believe everyone knows the rules. I will stop here and not say much else. First of all... I believe everyone knows that the winner will get a 10,000-year-old blood ganoderma lucidum and the guidance of the national teacher...

······Okay, now the genius competition officially begins."

"Due to the large number of people, in the first round of the melee, whoever knocks down the ring will be eliminated. The time limit is one stick of incense."

Finally, when Ji Jiuying was about to doze off, he stopped.

From the moment Gong Mingyue appeared, Jun Luoli's heart and eyes were on the National Master. She had no idea what Duke Ji was saying before. She only heard one sentence: whoever wins first can get guidance from the National Master.

She saw the spiritual practitioners around her all going up to the stage. After she came to her senses, she also quickly rushed up to the stage and glanced at the national master. She was determined to take the first place!

The arena is very large, about the size of a football field, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At the command, tens of thousands of people rushed in, and almost half of them came down in a few seconds.

The Imperial Master just sat there motionless. The inherent coldness in his body made everyone around him dare not breathe. Jun Bufan was the emperor, but he had seen the Imperial Master's methods, so he didn't dare to talk to him. He could only chat about trivial things with the Queen and Concubine Liang.

However, Gong Mingyue's dark gaze was always on that black figure.

At the fourth-floor window of Qi Yeyue Tower, Ye Qingchen's gaze also fell on the thin figure.

Afterwards, his inquiring gaze shifted to the Imperial Master, who was also dressed in black. His deep eyes contained a thoughtful look.

As if he had noticed something, Gong Mingyue turned his head to look towards the fourth floor. His deep eyes, as sharp as swords, collided with the other party's gaze in mid-air. Under his mask was a sneer that showed he didn't care at all.

Ye Qingchen's heart sank. He had been discovered by him. Who was he? What was his purpose in appearing out of nowhere in Cang Yue Country a few years ago?
