Summer Child

  The three days passed quickly, and for the past month, no one had come to disturb Linghao Palace. Cold Lingtian was unwilling to come, while others who were eager to curry favor did not dare to come.

  Lonely and solitary, fortunately, there is still the Feng family behind Feng Lingyue.

  The Imperial Selection Tournament has begun. Young talents from all over the Great Yan Empire, who have been elected through local small-scale competitions, have gathered on this island of Great Yan.

  Leng Lingtian attaches great importance to this competition, not only attending in person, but also requiring all civil and military officials, consorts, princes, and princesses to attend.

  Leng Hao Xing's breakthrough in the Nine Layers of Nirvana was enough to sweep away those so-called geniuses and prodigies, making this competition utterly uninteresting.

  This is also because Leng Hao's eyes were too high, what kind of innate talent he was, two kinds of Ben Xiang, plus the Niepan Jue, even if it was just after breaking through the Jie Xiang realm, compared to those ordinary people in the Quan Ti Lian Shen realm, they would be much more powerful. After his Star God's body appeared, no one could withstand a single blow.

  Other princes and princesses were very happy, one by one hiding in the palace, able to see such a grand scene, all very excited.

  As for the match, it was held in Imperial Square because Cold Lingtian attached great importance to it.

  A vast expanse of crystal stone paving the square, with towering buildings surrounding it, colorful flags fluttering in the wind. The marshals of all four fleets of the Empire have arrived, and naturally, the marshals of the Starlight Fleet and the Royal Fleet are the most eye-catching.

  The building is not only high, but also has railings on both sides, and the area is also very large, which can accommodate many people. Generally speaking, people with good social status can sit in the building to watch the game.

  As the crown prince, his status was naturally revered, and the position he sat in was only slightly lower than that of Cold Lingtian. However, he and Cold Lingtian were not on the same floor, but were separated from the other princes and princesses, which was the treatment he deserved as the crown prince.

  Feng Lingyun was sitting next to Leng Lingtian, this was also one of the rare close encounters between the two people every year. In such a grand occasion, Leng Lingtian's heart still didn't like Feng Lingyun, but it was impossible to call He Qingya over, after all, Feng Lingyun was the empress.

  Looking far away with a cool gaze, I can see my mother's delighted smile, and in my heart, there is a faint sense of melancholy, always feeling that it's not worth it for her.

  Mother sent someone to assassinate He Qingya was wrong, but all of this was caused by Leng Lingtian, and this person had completely abandoned them mother and son. If it weren't for the relationship between Feng's family and Luofenghai Pavilion, Mother's empress position and his crown prince position would have been removed by Leng Lingtian.

  "The Imperial Selection Tournament, now officially begins," With the sound of a loud voice, the players selected by the local lords from all over the world stood on the square.

  The way of competition is naturally fighting, for Leng Hao, a master who has been cultivating to the extreme, this kind of competition really doesn't have much to look at.

  He glanced around casually, and although his current cultivation was still low, the Seven Calamities Absolute Boundary was still there, allowing him to easily see through the cultivations of the candidates on the square, with the strongest being only at the Refining God Realm.

  Under thirty years old, in a place like Great Yan Country, cultivating to the Refining Spirit Realm is already considered super genius.

  Leng Hao didn't care about winning or losing, and under the extremely boring circumstances, he simply sat paralyzed in his chair, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate the Nirvana Technique. Cultivating was much more interesting than watching this low-level competition.

  As the crown prince, every move he made was naturally being watched by someone, and his unexpected appearance had caused a lot of discussion around him.

  Leng Lingtian glanced at Leng Hao, and his anger rose involuntarily, but he still felt a little guilty for not having disciplined Leng Hao for so many years. He suspected that Leng Hao was doing this on purpose and didn't want to scold him in public, making things difficult for him.

  Leng Hao did not exert himself fully in his cultivation, and half of his attention was placed on the outside world. As a result, there were no great movements or disturbances, and apart from those around him, nobody else knew that he was cultivating.

  The annual selection competition, after all, is a grand occasion, and gradually, no one pays attention to Leng Hao's movements anymore. Everyone is cheering for the exciting battles on the field, discussing with each other how many people will be able to join the Starlight Fleet and the Royal Fleet this year.

  Leng Hao was cultivating by himself, his consciousness that remained outside was also casually scanning the surrounding scene.

  For the cold front, Cold Hao is definitely worth paying attention to. Don't look at this little guy being low-key now, in the future he will soar to the sky, and no one can stop his progress.

  He Qingya's favoritism not only made Feng Lingyin jealous, but also made Cold Lingtian's other concubines secretly resentful. As a result, Cold Feng's situation was not good, and those roughly same-aged princes and princesses did not play with him together. At this time, He Qingya was also staying among the concubines and could not come to accompany him, so he could only sit quietly by himself.

  Leng Hao looked at Leng Feng, who was somewhat melancholic, and just as his mind was about to leave, he saw a beautiful girl walking towards Leng Feng. His heart skipped a beat, affecting his entire mood, making it impossible for him to continue cultivating.

  Leng Hao opened his eyes and looked at the girl who had started chatting with Leng Feng, a hint of bitterness creeping up to the corners of his mouth.

  Xia Yu'er, Xia Peng's daughter, was young and had been made the Princess of the Moon by Cold Ling Tian, who treated her even better than his own biological daughters.

  Only with this identity can one enter the area where the princes and princesses are at will.

  At the same time, Xia Yu'er also has another identity, which is Leng Hao's fiancée.

  Xia Yu'er was ten years old and was in the same year as Leng Hao, two months younger than Leng Hao.

  At that time, Leng Hua and Xia Yu'er were born two months apart. At that time, Leng Lingtian had not yet married He Qingya. Feng Lingyun was after all a peerless beauty, and Leng Lingtian treated her with great care. The relationship between the two was still very harmonious.

  Leng Lingtian and Xia Peng were brothers who had been through life and death together, so at that time they directly arranged the marriage between Leng Hao and Xia Yu'er.

  In recent years, with the relationship between Cold Lingtian and Feng Lingyin becoming strained, Xia Peng must have stood on Cold Lingtian's side, so he didn't come into contact with Feng Lingyin anymore.

  Xia Yu'er has family members to take care of, and with her natural talent, she also needs to cultivate, so she rarely has time to play with Leng Hao. The two meet very infrequently. He Qingya is favored, and gets along well with Xia Peng's wife. Xia Peng's wife often brings Xia Yu'er into the palace to play, and Xia Yu'er meets Leng Feng many times.

  After all, they were all children, and Xia Yu'er didn't distance herself from Leng Hao just because of the adults. When she had the chance, she would still come to talk to him.

  Xia Yu'er's personality is lively and cheerful. She is the youngest daughter of the Xia family, with only one son and one daughter. Her older brother, Xia Fei, is a year older than Leng Hao. The Xia family is harmonious, and although Xia Peng is strict with his son Xia Fei, he is extremely doting on Xia Yu'er. With her parents' love and care, as well as her brother's protection, even the Emperor of Da Yan Guo treats her with extra affection. Without any worries or troubles, her natural talent and noble birth have cultivated her lively and cheerful personality.

  In his past life, especially after Feng Lingyue's death, Leng Hao was stripped of his position as crown prince by Leng Lingtian due to some matters and locked in a dark room for three months. His heart was completely shrouded in darkness, filled with negative emotions. At that time, the only person he still acknowledged was Xia Yu'er. For him, Xia Yu'er's lively and sunny personality had a fatal attraction to him who was trapped in darkness, not to mention their engagement relationship.

  Xia Yu'er was considered to be Leng Xiao's first love, but unfortunately, it ended in tragedy. Xia Yu'er had always regarded him as a brother, but she actually fell in love with Leng Feng. As for the engagement that had been previously arranged, both Leng Ling Tian and Xia Peng tacitly avoided mentioning it again.

  It's so bloody and helpless, for Leng Hua who is in the dark, yearning for light but afraid of light, Xia Yu'er's departure is like shattering his last bit of beautiful longing, his heart filled with a desire for revenge.

  If it weren't for meeting her, Leng Hao believed that he would have found it very difficult to walk out of Xia Yu'er's shadow and also very hard to believe in love again.

  In this life, Leng Hao would naturally not have any thoughts about Xia Yu'er again. After gaining enough power to ensure his mother's safety, he would go find her. As for Xia Yu'er, it was better to treat her as a younger sister, which was good for everyone.

  It's just a thought, but it still touches my heart. After all, Cold Hao was indeed in a lot of pain back then, and this kind of heartbreaking feeling is hard to forget even after 500 years.

  Leng Feng and Xia Yu'er chatted and laughed, and in the midst of Xia Yu'er's crisp and cheerful laughter, Leng Feng's originally somewhat lonely situation completely disappeared.

  He Qingya, who was standing on the high platform, also let out a sigh of relief when she saw this scene. Looking at Xia Yu'er, her eyes were filled with doting and fondness. Xia Yu'er's ability to gain favor was also related to her lively and kind personality, without any arrogant temperament of a young lady.

  Alas, Leng Hao slightly shook his head and let out a sigh. Even with the temperament of 500 years, there was still some bitterness in his heart that he couldn't help but feel.

  "This tournament is over, and it should be the selection of the prince's fiefdom. At that time, as the crown prince, I should be the first choice. I must get Guanhe Island," Cold Hao forced himself to think about other things. This imperial selection tournament was over, and as the crown prince, he could choose a few young people with potential as his helpers. Then, it should be the matter of the prince's fiefdom proposed by Cold Ling Tian.

  In his past life, he chose Zhao Yan and Li Yun. In the Great Yan Kingdom, apart from the Cold Family being the royal family, there were four other powerful families. The most powerful was naturally the Feng Family, followed by the Xia Family, and lastly the Zhao and Li Families. Cold Hao choosing these two as his subordinates was clearly following his mother's orders, trying to curry favor with these two influential families.

  But experience has shown that this kind of scumbag, who is a second-generation descendant of a truly defeated family, is an insult to pigs if he is said to be a teammate like a pig. He fought against Leng Feng, and he had the support of three big families, while Xia's family remained neutral and leaned towards Leng Feng, which was already a huge advantage, but Leng Hao still failed, with the two unreliable families, Zhao and Li, playing a major role in this failure.
