C422 He's My Fellow Townsman
Although Xu Daolin didn't say anything, he also understood what Duan Qianyue meant. As the disciples of the same leader, the two of them had similar strength and talent. Since he had already touched the third Divine Flower, then the other party would definitely not be much worse off than him.
The two of them would participate in the disciple competition, and at that time, they would definitely fight each other. But now, they had both touched the third Divine Flower, so the winner would have to see who could condense the third Divine Flower first.
"All these years since we entered the Outer Palace, you and I have been known as the leaders of the disciples, but we have never fought each other. Perhaps this time in the disciple competition, you and I will be able to decide who is superior and who is inferior." Xu Daolin spoke slowly at this moment. His voice was calm, but it was filled with fighting intent.
It was the first time Yan Zhengtine, who was standing behind him, had seen Xu Daolin take the initiative to speak to someone like this, and his eyes also slightly changed. However, when he thought that the person standing in front of him was Duan Qianyue, he felt at ease.
However, when Duanqianyue heard Xu Daolin's words that sounded like a challenge, the smile on his face slowly faded.
"Yeah, in the end, we still lack such a battle. It's hard to say who is stronger, but I won't allow another tie in the disciple competition." Duanqianyue said with a sigh as if he was an older student.
When Xu Daolin saw the state of Duanqianyue, he actually revealed a rare smile, causing Yan Zhengtine, who was at the side, to be in disbelief.
Anyone who knew Xu Daolin knew that he was not a man of words. He would never reveal the true emotions in his heart on his face. There weren't many people who saw Xu Daolin smile like this.
One could imagine how much Xu Daolin approved of his opponent, Duanqianyue.
If the two of them were not the leader's disciples and did not have a competitive relationship in terms of strength, they might be able to become friends.
But such a hypothesis would not be established at all. Not to mention that the two of them belonged to the Yuan Alliance and the Neutral Field, if the two of them did not have such strength to compete, they would not even look up to each other at all.
Therefore, some things were so magical that they paid attention to fate.
"Then I'll wait for you in the disciple competition. Don't disappoint me." Xu Daolin's smile disappeared after a brief moment, as if he had made an agreement with the other party.
"I naturally won't disappoint you. I will only give you a pleasant surprise." Duanqianyue joked.
The two of them did not seem like competitors at all, but more like two good friends making an agreement with each other.
Yan Zhengtine, who was at the side, was a little confused by the two's conversation, but there was no place for him to interrupt now. Although he was the true leader of the Yuan Alliance, he seemed to have a lot of power in front of the other disciples of the Outer Palace.
But he was nothing in the eyes of these two leading disciples. He was not even qualified to make them look at him, simply because the strength of these two men had long since surpassed the scope of the ordinary older students.
With Xu Daolin and Duanqianyue's talent, the Outer Palace of the academy was only a temporary place for them. Their true destination was the Inner Palace of the academy, which was the place that truly belonged to them.
"Oh, yeah, I've only been back for a while, and I've heard there's a very interesting guy in this new batch. I wonder if you've heard of him." At this moment, Duanqianyue suddenly thought of something and said casually.
When he said this, Xu Daolin's expression did not change at all. It was very normal, but when Yan Zhengtine heard the name Lee Zhuohua, his expression changed.
Even though Lee Zhuohua had stirred up a lot of trouble in the Outer Palace, whether it was the matter of the Transportation Hall, the battle with Qian Liu, or the matter of him staying in the Alliance Of Rebirth, all of these had caused a lot of changes in the situation in the Outer Palace.
But even so, Xu Daolin would not pay attention to a new disciple. In his eyes, there was only the Inner Palace of the academy and the Duanqianyue in front of him. He did not care about anything else at all.
However, Yan Zhengtine, who had taken the Yuan Alliance, knew Lee Zhuohua very well. That was why his expression would change when he heard Duan Qianyue mention Lee Zhuohua. But he did not know why Duan Qianyue would mention Lee Zhuohua here.
But because the other party was curious about some of the things that Lee Zhuohua had done, or was there some kind of relationship between the other party and Lee Zhuohua?
Yan Zhengtine, with his keen minds, knew that this matter was not simple. He had to figure it out, or else when the Yuan Alliance and the Lake Gate clashed in the future, there might be a situation that he did not want to see.
"Hmm?" Although Duanqianyue was talking to Xu Daolin, with his perception ability, he naturally noticed Yan Zhengtine's abnormality. He glanced at Yan Zhengtine.
Xu Daolin had also sensed the change in Yan Zhengtine's expression, but he did not look at Yan Zhengtine like Duanqiancheng did. In the end, Yan Zhengtine was also a member of his Yuan Alliance.
"I've heard a bit of it, but why did you mention him?" Xu Daolin replied to the question that Duan Qianyue had just asked.
His words drew Duan Qianyue's attention back from Yan Zhengtine.
"I just think that I saw a shadow of that person in this new student. I think that person founded the Yuan Alliance with you and fought against the older students together."
"The conflict between old and new students is a tradition of the academy. Now, it's Lee Zhuohua's Lake Gate versus your Yuan Alliance. I wonder how you are feeling."
Duanqianyue said with a smile. His words seemed casual, but the meaning behind them was quite meaningful.
Xu Daolin didn't have any special reaction when he heard his words. He didn't have any intention of worrying about it at all.
"Although the Yuan Alliance was jointly founded by him and me, we will eventually meet the same fate as those people in the past. But what does it mean for you and me? "Xu Daolin said without thinking. His tone was very calm, and in his words, the Yuan Alliance seemed to be of little importance.
Yan Zhengtine, who was at the side, seemed to have long known what Xu Daolin was thinking. Now that he heard Xu Daolin's words, his expression became somewhat complicated.
"You are really open-minded and open-minded. Indeed, only then will the school be able to filter out even more experts. It's just that aren't you curious about Lee Zhuohua? I think that in the not too distant future, he might stand on the same level as us." Duanqianyue looked at Xu Daolin as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he paid attention to Xu Daolin's face and wanted to see what kind of expression he had.
His words were nothing to Xu Daolin and himself, but if others heard his evaluation of Lee Zhuohua, they might be scared to death. Standing at the same level as the two of them, it meant that Lee Zhuohua would also become the leader's disciple and enter the academy's Inner Palace.
When Yan Zhengtine heard the evaluation of Duan Qianyue, his face had already started to turn ugly. He had experienced the days when the Yuan Alliance was first established, so he naturally knew about fighting against the older students.
And now, it was the turn of the Lake Gate to fight against them, and there were also people like Xu Daolin and the others among the new students. It could be imagined how bad his mood was, but at this moment, he could only secretly think of countermeasures in his heart, and he did not dare to say what he was thinking.
"You said it was just a resemblance. He's new to the academy, and it's hard to say whether he'll make it to our level in the future. But since you said so, I'll keep an eye on him." Xu Daolin thought for a while and said. His expression was slightly puzzled. Just as he had said, he did not know why Duanqianyue was so concerned about a new student.
The other party's words revealed a bit of strangeness.
"Because he's from my hometown." Duanqianyue grinned.
