The huge Jingjia Square was crowded with people.
"Have you seen Jing Yan?"
"No, it seems that I haven't come here yet. There is still a stick of incense time before the competition begins."
"Hehe, I think he might not dare to come?"
"Didn't dare to come, why didn't he dare to come? He can even beat Li Tianfu from the Extreme Fighting Association. In the big competition, he will definitely rank very high."
"Hmph, have you forgotten that three months ago, he accepted Brother Tianlong's challenge. After the family competition, he will fight Brother Tianlong. Think about it for yourself, shouldn't he hide now and be a turtle? How dare he show his face?" A young man with triangular eyes snorted coldly.
"Since Jing Yan dares to fight, he will definitely not hide his face. Just wait and see, he will definitely show up." The other person frowned, firmly believing that Jing Yan would participate in the Jing family competition, and he was obviously on Jing Yan's side.
"Just wait and see." The triangular-eyed man curled his lips in disdain.
At this time, not far from the square, a pretty figure in a long green dress was pacing anxiously.
"Where did you go!"
"Not in other courtyards either."
The woman in the green skirt muttered in her mouth.
She is Jing Ziqi, the daughter of Jing Chengye, head of the Jing family.
Jing Ziqi entered Honglian College, one of the three major colleges in Lanqu County five years ago, and has been practicing in the college. Usually, there is very little time to go back to the family.
Before Jing Ziqi left Donglin City, her relationship with Jing Yan was very close.
She is about five or six years older than Jing Yan.
When Jing Yan was still young, Jing Ziqi often took Jing Yan to play in Donglin City.
Some time ago, Jing Yan was expelled from the Shenfeng Academy and returned to Jing's house because of a fall in realm. Jing Ziqi also kept writing letters to her father, Jing Chengye, asking her father to take care of Jing Yan.
This time she came back because she was worried about Jing Yan, she already knew about the battle between Jing Yan and Jing Tianlong.
This morning, she just rushed back to Donglin City. As soon as she returned to her family, she didn't even go to see her father, so she went to find Jing Yan first. However, she did not find Jing Yan in the small courtyard where Jing Yan lived.
There was no sign of Jing Yan in the square.
"If you really avoid it, it's okay." Jing Ziqi said to herself.
"However, with Jing Yan's temperament... it's impossible for him to back down temporarily." Jing Ziqi frowned again, she knew Jing Yan well of course.
"Huh? Sister Ziqi?"
Jing Yan and Jing Qingyan were walking towards the square when they suddenly saw a familiar figure, their eyes froze and they said something softly.
Jing Yan saw Jing Ziqi, and Jing Ziqi also saw Jing Yan.
With a flash of her figure, she quickly rushed towards Jing Yan.
"Sister Ziqi, why do you have time to come back?" Jing Yan smiled.
After doing the math, he hadn't seen Jing Ziqi for more than a year. The last time the two of them met was when Jing Yan passed the examination of the Kamikaze Academy and entered the Kamikaze Academy.
"Jing Yan, are you going to fight Jing Tianlong today?" Jing Ziqi was impatient, she ignored Jing Yan's question and asked directly.
"Well, you've heard about it too." Jing Yan nodded.
"You are confused! How could you agree to fight Jing Tianlong? Jing Tianlong is very strong. Even I may not be his opponent." Jing Ziqi shook her head repeatedly.
Jing Ziqi and Jing Tianlong are both in Red Lotus Academy, so she has a clearer understanding of Jing Tianlong's strength.
"It's not certain who wins and who loses. Sister Ziqi, this battle is inevitable." Jing Yan stared intently.
"The big competition is about to start, I have to sign up quickly, or I won't miss it." Jing Yan glanced at the square and continued.
Family competition registration office!
"Master Jing Yan!" The manager in charge of registration saw Jing Yan, and immediately stood up and said hello.
"I want to sign up for the competition." Jing Yan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll register now." The steward nodded.
After registering Jing Yan's information, he gave Jing Yan a purple wooden sign with Jing Yan's name on it.
After signing up, Jing Yan also came to the square.
"Brother Jingyan! Sister Ziqi!"
"Hello, sister Ziqi, hello, brother Jingyan!"
When Jing Yan and Jing Ziqi appeared in the square, many young disciples of the Jing family greeted them.
Of course, there were also many people who quickly turned their eyes away after seeing the two of them.
And those who thought that Jing Yan dared not show up also had gloomy faces and closed their mouths.
"Haha, didn't you say that Jing Yan didn't dare to participate in the competition? Now, what else do you have to say?"
"Hmph, here he is, he's just looking for death, let's see how long he can dance." Another person insisted.
…
"Jing Yan, you are just too stubborn!"
"This time, you listen to me. After the competition, you fight Jing Tianlong and admit defeat. If Jing Tianlong makes another move, my father will definitely stop him." Jing Ziqi was still persuading Jing Yan.
Jing Yan also showed a helpless wry smile.
Jing Ziqi was the same as in the past, still as impatient. Jing Yan still remembers that when he was a child, when he was playing outside, he was bullied by others, and Jing Ziqi would directly beat the other party to his knees and beg for mercy.
Jing Ziqi always protects him.
At this moment, on the high platform on the side of the square, figures appeared there.
At the forefront is Jing Chengye, the head of the Jing family, and all the elders.
There are a total of eight elders in the Jing family, and today, all eight elders were present.
This shows how much the family attaches great importance to the competition held every five years.
After the patriarch and the eight elders, there are many family heads, probably dozens of them. All of these supervisors are at the ninth level of martial arts. They, together with the elders and patriarchs, formed the Jing family's first group.
Of course, the Jing family still has a lot of Ninth Heaven Realm Martial Artists, including some hired Ninth Heaven realm guards. The total number exceeds one hundred.
In addition to the high-level figures of the Jing family, there were also some outsiders on the high platform.
These people are guests, and most of them are important figures from various families in Donglin City, including patriarchs and elders.
It is also the custom of Donglin City to treat guests with courtesy. Not only the Jing family, but other families will also invite important figures from other families to watch the ceremony during the family competition. Including, the Zhao family, the first family in Donglin City.
Of course, for those small families, the number of guests that can be invited will be smaller, far less grand than the three big families.
About another incense stick time passed.
Jing Chengye, on the high platform, walked to the edge.
His gaze slowly scanned the entire square.
"Students of the Jing family!" Jing Chengye circulated his vitality, his voice was like a bell, and it was transmitted over the entire square.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the originally noisy discussion stopped abruptly. All eyes were fixed on the past.
