The witch comes into my arms

Returning to the original stand, Xia Yuan saw Aruna who was looking for him.

In order to ride a horse, the girl wore a military uniform, and the simple upper and lower clothes made her lively and cute.

"It's easy to catch!" Aruna held her right hand in vain, showing off her ranking to Xia Yuan.

"Awesome." Xia Yuan raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up.

Aruna couldn't understand the meaning of the thumb, but she could guess that it was a compliment.

She raised her head, feeling complacent for a moment, then knelt down and looked at Leng Qiu, who was holding Xia Yuan's left hand.

"You see, I am number one!" She seduced the girl, "Give me a hug and I will teach you the best equestrian skills in the world!"

Leng Qiu shrank behind Xia Yuan and refused ruthlessly.

"Damn it!" Aruna stood up angrily and said to the girl, "I originally wanted to give it to you, but I won't give it to you now!"

She threw a jade token to Xia Yuan: "Give it to you!"

Xia Yuan took the jade plaque, which had the character "horse" engraved on it and the name of the Royal Horse Supervisor underneath.

This is a reward from the horse race. With the brand, you can go to the horse racing supervisor to receive a BMW.

"I heard that the reward is a jade lion. Our grassland doesn't like Central Plains horses, so you can keep it." Aruna explained.

Jade Lion is the name of a horse breed and is one of the top ten famous horses.

Xia Yuan was in the Royal Horse Prison, fostering more than a dozen horses, all of which were gifts from his parents' family. He already had the jade lion. However, this was Aruna’s wish.

He hung the jade sign on his waist: "Thank you."

Leng Qiu looked at the jade plaque swinging in front of him, and then at Xia Yuan's smiling face.

She also wanted to give His Highness something, and also wanted His Highness to thank her like this.

But she doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy or painting.

She squeezed the hem of Xia Yuan's clothes tightly, took a small step forward, and leaned closer to Xia Yuan's side.

The closer distance made her feel more at ease, but the cheerful conversation between His Highness and the grassland cows was like the hot summer wind blowing through her body, making her skin feel sticky and itchy.

She thought of her mother-in-law's words to be careful of outsiders who laughed with His Highness.

The mother-in-law said that those women came to compete with her for His Highness, and would replace her as His Highness's maid, eat her snacks, and occupy her arms.

My mother-in-law also said that when you encounter such women, you should find a corner where no one can see them and deal with them quietly.

She felt that her mother-in-law's last words were wrong, and His Highness would be very sad if they were dealt with.

But what the mother-in-law said before was right. Before the prairie cows came, His Highness was holding her and teasing her. Now, all eyes are on her.

Thinking of the tragic future described by her mother-in-law, she panicked.

She recalled a brief fight with a prairie cow. The opponent's strength was very strong and his arms were very stiff. There was no way she could deal with the opponent quietly.

Pursing her lips, she leaned her head on His Highness's waist, hoping to attract His Highness's attention.

The eyes did come, but he only glanced at her, smiled, and then returned to the grassland cows.

She puffed up her face like a prairie cow and glared quietly.

This secret stare did not bring her any comfort. She lowered her head and crushed the pebbles on the ground with her feet.

Until Xia Yuan called her name.

"Cold."

She raised her head and looked at His Highness, with a pure face and flawless eyes, all her emotions shrunk in her heart.

"Remember these." Xia Yuan reported six numbers, "You will answer in this order later."

These six numbers are the answers to the arithmetic competition.

On the field, Zeng Zishi was introducing the new arithmetic competition.

Xia Yuan knew that in addition to the invitation from the Southern Territory, the arrival of the Gua Master would probably also be welcomed by the Ning State.

Although Emperor Ning and the prince did not say it directly, the fact that arithmetic appeared in the competition proved their attitude.

They wanted Xia Yuan to participate and get to know their "peers".

Xia Yuan was not interested in participating, but he also didn’t want the Southern Territory to win the championship. What’s more, his wine and beauties depended on this competition.

He asked the little queen to come in.

Leng Qiu came to the stage in a daze, and the moment after each question was finished, he gave the answer, defeating the genius boy and the old scholar in mathematics.

There was silence all around, and everyone looked at the girl on the field in surprise.

The arithmetic masters prepared by the Southern Territory in advance began to doubt their lives one by one. The young Southern Territory boy who thought he could show off his skills and be favored by the divination master felt even more like a heir.

The fifth prince was stunned, holding the wine glass in his hand from the beginning to the end of the game.

When the prince announced Leng Qiu's victory, he woke up suddenly and looked at Xia Yuan in panic. Xia Yuan smiled at him, which chilled his heart.

Forget about the wine, he lost to his second brother’s beauty again!

The reward for arithmetic is an arithmetic book secretly kept by Ning Guo.

Leng Qiu took the book and ran back to Xia Yuan.

She handed the book to the boy: "For Your Highness."

"Here you go." Xia Yuan was not interested in arithmetic.

The little queen thought for a while and then handed out the book: "To Your Highness."

Giving and giving are two different contexts. To give means to hand something over, and to give means to give something as a gift.

Xia Yuan pinched the girl's face and picked her up: "Thank you, my little Leng Leng."

The little queen became happy. She leaned on Xia Yuan's shoulders and quietly kicked the horse tag on the boy's waist.

Hanyue covered her lips and smiled. She saw the girl's little thoughts from beginning to end, without missing a beat.

Aruna was slow and didn't know the little awkwardness of the Central Plains girl. She praised the girl's calmness and prairie style when she gave the answer.

At the same time, the girl wondered how Xia Yuan knew the answer to arithmetic.

There were six questions, two from Daning, two from the Southern Territory, and two from the Yun Kingdom. There was obviously no room for cheating.

She asked Xia Yuan, and as expected she was perfunctory by the young man again.

After tapping the boy's shoulder, she took Hanyue's hand and exchanged notes.

It was getting late, and the prince re-announced the seven first places in the seven competitions. Ning Guo won two and a half, Grassland won two and a half, Yun Guo had one, Liang Guo had one, and Nanjing had none.

Zeng Zishi's face looked a little ugly.

Quan Chanyu didn't care about the southern border. He met Xia Yuan's eyes and smiled.

Xia Yuan also smiled.

Quan Chanyu's smile was very fake, while Xia Yuan's smile was very real, as real as seeing a fish on the hook.

……

The reason why Wisteria Flower Feast is called Wisteria Flower Feast is naturally because of the wisteria flowers.

Wisteria flowers grow in another villa. The villa is not big enough to entertain too many guests, and there is no venue for competitions.

Therefore, it was not until the final martial arts banquet that everyone saw the legendary wisteria flower, a place that cannot be avoided in history books.

Flower branches grow from both sides, climb to the sky along the wooden pole, and are densely woven together.

The purple flower vines hang down, like a big purple bowl, upside down on the ground, and like thousands of purple butterflies, surrounding this space, flying gracefully when the wind blows.

Under the wisteria flowers is the final banquet.

No one cared about the banquet itself. Everyone was looking forward to the martial arts battle in the cave, so the banquet seemed deserted.

The prince knew what everyone was thinking and started the final part of the banquet before it was over.

He introduced the rewards of fighting.

A famous weapon of choice, a thousand-year-old elixir, a piece of fertile land, a title of Viscount of Ningguo, the right to enter the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and an invitation letter from the Imperial College.

Of course, there are also some pills that are not of high grade but are very useful under Dongxuan, including Jiuhua Pill.

In addition, the winning country will also receive ten carts of supplies from Ning Guo as gifts.

After the prince finished speaking, Zeng Zishi stood up and introduced the cave where the competition was held.

Only practitioners aged 18 and under can enter the Human and Demon Cave. The entrance to the cave is on a stone tablet engraved with talismans.

The reason why it is called the Human Demon Cave is because there is a special kind of creature in the cave - the demon.

There are records about demons in ancient classics, but there are no traces of demons on the Xuntian Continent, at least not in the lands of Ning Country, Yun Country, Grassland and Six Kingdoms.

Only in the cave of humans and demons can there be demons in the story.

The demon has no form, feeds on human brains, and takes over human bodies.

"There are a total of four villages in the cave, southeast, northwest, one is raised by demons, one believes in demons, one has demons hiding in it, and the other is a camp for demon slayers. No trace of demons has been found."

"The Cave of Humans and Demons opens once every five years, and the number of people who can enter each time is limited. Therefore, I would like to trouble you, young heroes, to clean up the demons first, and then compete. Defeating the demons is also a part of this competition."

"Our five-party team will randomly select the areas to be responsible for. Among them, the villages and towns that are supported by demons are the most difficult. The two parties need to join forces, and exactly five groups will be divided."

"Let the grassland choose first."

Zeng Zishi arranged the five characters on the table and looked at the team on the grassland.

Aruna stood up and glanced at Xia Yuan beside her.

Last night, Xia Yuan told her that she should choose the second character group on the left.

She took the second word ball on the left and unfolded it. It said "North" inside.

"Princess is so lucky!" Zeng Zishi introduced, "Beicun is the Demon Slayer's camp."
