After the waiter finished speaking, everyone was stunned. The waiter looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "This is a crossword puzzle!"

Word puzzle?

Everyone was stunned again, a little confused. How come there are so many horizontal and vertical words in this word?

Liu Lan's curiosity aroused as she listened, and she kept drawing on her palms to guess what the words were. However, after writing for a while, she still had no clue. She couldn't help but ask Lu An, "Do you know the answer?"

Lu An was startled when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know."

Lu An really didn't understand. He could only read and write at the current level. It would still be too difficult if he wanted to go further.

The whole tavern was chattering non-stop, everyone was discussing what the word was. Some people even couldn't help shouting, "Where is this word? Which word has so many strokes?"

However, when the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled confidently and said loudly, "If there is no such word, or if the explanation cannot be made, all meals in the store will be exempted."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone took a breath. The price of everyone's meals was not small, and they couldn't help but quickly calculated it again. ??

However, at this moment, a group of people walked in from the door. This group of people were elegantly dressed and had a very literati atmosphere. The leader of the group, a young man who was even more gorgeous but yet noble, entered the house surrounded by everyone.

Immediately, these people discovered all the discussions and the crossword puzzle hanging in the center. After reading it for a while, the young man at the head smiled and said, "For such a simple crossword puzzle, this store has a good conscience."

As soon as he said this, the surrounding guests heard it and asked him quickly, "Do you know the answer?"

"Of course." The young man smiled and said, "It's the word 'sen'."

The people around were stunned, and after realizing it, they quickly slapped their heads and shouted, "Oh, why didn't I think of that?!"

"Yeah, isn't it just 'Sen'? I'm so confused that I didn't expect this!"

The people in the tavern were annoyed for a while, but the shopkeeper admired the young man and came over and said, "Word puzzles often look easy but are difficult to guess. Guests can see at a glance that the answer is really not easy. This meal

Please order whatever you want, it’s all free!”

The six people were seated. The young man did not refuse after hearing this, and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's bring all the good dishes!"

The guests in the tavern watched for a while before turning back and continuing to eat. Liu Lan did the same and whispered, "That man is so smart."

"Yeah." Lu An said with a smile, "This word puzzle makes me think about it. I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out even if I think about it for a day."

"However, I always feel that something is wrong." Liu Lan frowned slightly and said doubtfully, "I feel that this person is not simple, he must not be an ordinary person?"

Lu An was startled and asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

"I can't tell." Liu Lan frowned and curled her lips and said, "I feel that the temperament of this person is a bit familiar. If I have to say... I feel very similar to Prince Chu."

Prince Chu?

Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at a group of people in the distance. Could it be that these people are also members of the royal family?

However, even if these people were members of the royal family, they had nothing to do with him. The incident with Prince Chu had already happened a long time ago. Besides, it was not unexpected for people from the royal family to attend Zhou Mu's inauguration celebration.

Without continuing to discuss these people, Lu An and Liu Lan talked about the martial arts competition in the next few days while dining. After it was confirmed that Liu Lan would fight, Liu Lan has been learning combat skills from Lu An, and Lu An did not hold back his teachings at all.

.But it’s hard to tell how much you can learn from just theoretical knowledge.

"Of course, all the ways I mentioned about avoiding the opponent's magic are based on the situation that you are absolutely confident that you can avoid the magic. If not, you still have to retreat and dodge normally, or take a hard hit, and don't show off."

Lu An said seriously.

Liu Lan nodded, keeping Lu An's words in mind. At this moment, Lu An's eyes narrowed slightly, and after three breaths, a figure came to the two of them.

Liu Lan was startled, turned to look at the people standing aside, and found that

It was none other than the young man with a noble temperament just now.

"I'm sorry to bother you two." The young man said politely with a smile on his face, "I wonder if this girl is Miss Liulan who has a relationship with Prince Chu?"

As soon as these words came out, both Lu An and Liu Lan were stunned. They did not expect that even people in Wanliang City knew about this matter, but Liu Lan did not hide it and said, "I am Liu Lan, but I am not the same as Chu."

It has nothing to do with the prince, I wonder who you are?"

"I am a friend of Prince Chu." The young man said with a smile.

"Have you been to Black Wolf City?" Liu Lan asked doubtfully, "How did you recognize who I am?"

"I have never been to Black Wolf City, but I have seen the girl's portrait." The young man said with a smile, "Prince Chu really likes you and ordered someone to draw a picture of you and hang it on the wall. I went to his home as a guest.

I saw her when I was young, and now I can see her, and she is indeed as beautiful as a picture."

Hearing what the young man said, Liu Lan hated Prince Chu, but he was very good at talking. But after all, the young man was related to the royal family, Liu Lan still asked, "I wonder what your surname is?" ??

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is also Chu, and my last name is Sichuan." The young man said with a smile.

Chu Chuan?

Hearing this, Liu Lan nodded and noted that they didn't know the members of the royal family at all, so she asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Chu?"

"It's okay, I just didn't expect to meet Miss Liu here, so I came up to check and say hello." Chu Chuan said with a smile, "I am lucky enough to meet the girl today. I will stay in Wanliang City for a while and live there.

In the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. If the girl has any trouble, please come to me and I will help you solve it properly."

Liu Lan was a little dazed. She didn't know why this man was so kind to her. She was dazed and said, "Okay."

When Chu Chuan saw Liu Lan agreeing, he smiled and said, "In that case, I won't bother you too much. You two are welcome."

Watching Chu Chuan leave, Liu Lan still didn't come back to her senses. She didn't wake up until Chu Chuan sat down, looked at Lu An and said, "This person is quite interesting."

"Yeah." Lu An nodded slightly and said, "But it's better to be careful. I feel that his purpose is not simple."

"No, since he is friends with Prince Chu and can still live in the Prefecture Mufu, his status should be very high." Liu Lan shrugged and said indifferently, "I am just the leader of Black Wolf City, to him

It doesn’t make any sense.”

Seeing that Liu Lan didn't take it to heart, Lu An could only smile and said, "I hope I'm overthinking it."

After eating, the two of them wandered around the streets for a long time, and then headed back in the evening, back to the inn arranged by the Prefectural Mufu. The Prefectural Mufu rented out a large inn for visitors from each city, which was enough.

Accommodate everyone. When Liu Lan and Lu An returned to the inn, they found the city lord and two alliance leaders sitting in the lobby, seemingly discussing something.

The three city lords also immediately noticed that Liu Lan and Lu An were back, beckoned and said, "Two alliance leaders, please come!"

After hearing this, Liu Lan and Lu An came straight to the three of them. After a brief greeting, they also sat down. Liu Lan asked, "City Lord, what's wrong?"

"It's about the other eight cities." The city owner looked at Liu Lan and said seriously, "In the afternoon, through some connections, I got the exact list of contestants from the other eight cities, and even each person has some detailed descriptions.

, this is big news for us and needs to be discussed carefully."

Liu Lan and Lu An were stunned when they heard this. It is indeed a great advantage to know the opponent's information in advance. They can prepare responses in advance and formulate tactics in advance.

"You came back just in time. I have just called the two alliance leaders over and haven't started talking yet." The city lord said, "There is no doubt that the candidates in all cities are fifth-level Celestial Masters, and most of them are fifth-level Celestial Masters.

Peak. According to my list, there are only four people who are not at the fifth level peak, and they can be considered easy opponents."

"However, it is very rare to find an opponent by chance. We cannot have this mentality, but should prepare for the worst." The city lord said in a deep voice, "So, I want to introduce you to two people first.

The most difficult city to deal with.”

"Stone Bear Castle and Tomi Castle."
