Nanshan was truly too big. Hai Dongqing had been searching in the crowd for two days but still couldn't find the person she was looking for. In other words, this speed of travel hadn't caused her to circle around Nanshan for two days already.

After two days of living off the dry rations they had brought with them, they fell asleep on the ground. At this time, there were many hawkers who did not come to join the South Sword Gate but only pushed their carts to raise the price.

He could only buy those that didn't have anything to eat or drink. Hai Dongqing was one of these people.

"You want one tael of silver for a sesame seed cake, why don't you go and rob it?" The gyrfalcon looked at the palm sized sesame seed cake and argued with the peddler.

"Master, it's not easy for this little one to push a cart through the crowd. If you don't want to buy it, don't delay this little one's business, right?" The hawker said with a smile.

"Two!" The gyrfalcon gritted his teeth and said.

This cake was really hard to eat, but there was no other way. Who told him to prepare something for himself?

The requirements for the South Sword Sect to recruit disciples were extremely harsh. Not to mention the limited number of disciples, they had to be at least 13 years old and below 20 years old.

Finally on the third day, Tian Jue met the person he was looking for.

"Hey!" Hey! Brother Xiao! " The gyrfalcon waved at Xiao Heng from the crowd.

However, there were too many people, and their voices were too complicated. Xiao Heng could not hear them and would not see Hai Dongqing.

At this time, there was a seventeen to eighteen year old youth beside the gyrfalcon. He looked at the gyrfalcon in confusion and asked, "You know young master Xiao Heng?"

"Of course I do." The gyrfalcon was too lazy to waste words with the others. He waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao …"

Who would have thought that the youth would look at the gyrfalcon with contempt and say, "I also know Young Master Xiao Heng, but he doesn't know me."

Hearing the youth's words, the gyrfalcon almost fell over.

When the gyrfalcon saw that Xiao Heng could no longer hear him, he pushed his way through the crowd and approached him.

Seeing that they were about to arrive, a few Southern Sword Sect disciples came over and said something to Xiao Heng and the others before they left.

Hai Dongqing held her forehead, looking like she wanted to cry but had no tears.

He really didn't want to eat that hard and disgusting biscuit. It was quite expensive.

Just as the gyrfalcon was feeling dejected, Xiao Heng looked in his direction. When the gyrfalcon saw this, he quickly stood on his tiptoes and waved. As he waved, he shouted, "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Heng knitted his eyebrows and looked at the gyrfalcon for a long time before opening his mouth in shock.

"Fellow disciples, please go rest first. I'll go somewhere else." Xiao Heng cupped his fist and said to the few South Sword Sect disciples that were following him.

"Then senior brother should go back and rest as well. The days of the general election are truly tiring." Senior Brother, don't go into the crowd, I'm afraid that with your reputation, you will not be able to escape. " A South Sword Sect disciple cupped his fists and laughed.

With Xiao Heng's status, he definitely did not dare to walk into the crowd. It was not because he was afraid of being assassinated by those who hated him, but because he was afraid of those who liked him.

Xiao Heng glanced at the gyrfalcon, who mouthed the name of the inn he was staying. Xiao Heng nodded to show that he understood and then mouthed that he would look for the gyrfalcon at midnight.

Seeing that, the gyrfalcon quickly pushed his way through the crowd. Of course, the whole process was more tiring than his day on foot.

After the gyrfalcon left, someone behind him said, "Tsk, tsk. This guy looks quite spirited. How come he wasn't selected?"

The gyrfalcon looked at the two men with a complicated expression, they immediately turned around.

After the gyrfalcon left, he decided to go back to the inn to have a feast.

"Second brother, please help me cook two servings of beef and one serving of steamed fish …" In one breath, the gyrfalcon talked about eight dishes that he liked.

"Yo, master, I'm really sorry. Our chef accompanied his lady to participate in the selection." The waiter said apologetically.

"Then what do you know how to do, second brother?" Hai Dongqing frowned and asked.

"This grandpa doesn't know, other than the cooks, no one else is allowed to touch the cooking utensils." The waiter laughed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to help me buy some." The gyrfalcon took out some silver.

"Master, you don't know, since the day of selection, all the food makers here have brought their small ones to participate in the selection. Every morning, a few vendors would pass by with sesame seed cakes in their hands. The small ones are all used to fill their stomachs." The waiter said with a bitter face.

"Are the morning cakes soft?" The corners of Hai Dongqing's mouth twitched as she asked.

"They were all made the night before yesterday. In the morning, they are hard and horrible to eat."

The gyrfalcon almost cursed when he heard the waiter's words. Why couldn't he escape from the fate of eating scones?

No, I want meat! The gyrfalcon thought. As he thought of this, he pulled out his Earth Fiend Sword and walked out of the inn, causing the waiter to jump in fright.

Naturally, it was impossible for the gyrfalcon to eat human flesh. Not long after, he took back a thin and long bamboo pole.

"Second brother, do you have this needle and thread?" The gyrfalcon asked the waiter.

"Yes, I do. I wonder what are you planning to do." The second brother asked the gyrfalcon in confusion. It was the first time in his life that he had seen someone take out such a good weapon to cut down a bamboo.

"You're not allowed to touch your things. I'll go fishing to improve my food."

"Alright!"

The gyrfalcon was born on the seaside, so such work wasn't too difficult for him. In a few moments, he was able to make a fishing rod.

After some preparation, the gyrfalcon got up to fish and came to a pond. Strangely, the fish didn't bite the hook, so the gyrfalcon sat quietly for about two hours without moving at all.

Hai Dongqing was furious. Her fishing rod dropped to the ground with a thud as she yelled: "Bullying me?!"

After that, the gyrfalcon collected his emotions and carefully observed his surroundings to confirm that there was no one around.

Hai Dongqing pulled out the Earth Fiend sword intent and used the Nine Heavens Fist to smash into the pond. Not long after, he saw more than ten fishes lose their bellies.

"If I knew that it would be so easy to save trouble, I would have wasted my time!" The gyrfalcon collected the fish and said coldly.

He used the Earth Fiend Sword to cut open the fish's belly and cleaned it. As he cleaned, he muttered, "I told you not to bite the hook, I told you not to bite the hook …"

After the gyrfalcon had eaten his fill, there were still a few fish that he hadn't finished. He didn't want to waste them, so he roasted them and took them away.

When the gyrfalcon returned to the inn, he threw a roasted fish at the waiter and said, "No matter what you hear tonight, pretend you didn't hear it. Do you understand?"

"Alright!" The waiter laughed as he received Yu Le's order. It was clear that he had eaten enough of the peddlers' sesame seed cakes.

Time quietly passed and night quickly fell. The gyrfalcon was meditating in his room.

The moon slowly climbed into the sky, slanting westward as the stars flashed.

"The sky is dry, so be careful of the fire!" At this moment, the thugs outside the house began their work.
