    Qin Xia Ling ordered a bowl of noodles and a pot of wine.</p>

    She came alone but ordered two bowls of noodles.</p>

    Her face was expressionless and her tone was cold, making people not dare to approach her. Even the junior who ordered her food, and Xu Dalong who sat across from her, didn’t dare to look directly into her eyes.</p>

    But she has a special ability to see, at a glance, who is not afraid of her.</p>

    Our eyes met, and in hers, there was a flash of surprise. Few, if any, could look her straight in the eye so calmly.</p>

    But she quickly, averted her gaze.</p>

    Xu Dalong, using a voice transmission, said to me:</p>

    "She’s so beautiful, a righteous woman, so beautiful!"</p>

    His tone, full of excitement.</p>

    I sensed that Xu DaLong, had been secretly looking at her, but she didn’t care, as if she was used to it.</p>

    Soon the wine and food were served.</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, was about to pour himself a drink, Xu Dalong, suddenly summoned up the courage and said:</p>

    "I’ll pour you a drink."</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, looking straight into Xu Dalong’s eyes.</p>

    "I didn’t mean anything else, I just thought that since we’re destined to be at the same table, we should toast each other."</p>

    But Qin Xia Ling, didn’t pay any attention to him, just poured herself a glass of wine and drank it down.</p>

    Xu Dalong, frustrated, transmitted his voice to me:</p>

    "Did I say the wrong thing? ‘Fated to be at the same table’, that’s so cliché! My grandfather wouldn’t even say something like that!"</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, putting down her wine glass and looking at me, asked:</p>

    "Do you participate in the ‘Little Dragon War’?"</p>

    I glanced at her, then pointed at Xu Dalong and said:</p>

    "My young master, to enter the competition."</p>

    "Young master?"</p>

    "Yes, I am the young master’s servant."</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, looking at me and Xu Da Long in surprise, as if to say: you’re the young master, right? Xu Dalong, disgruntled, said to me:</p>

    "It’s all your fault, kid, for having a big beard and confusing the girls! This beard of yours, it’s too dirty, isn’t it?"</p>

    "I’m sorry, young master."</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, deaf to our conversation, began to concentrate on the noodles.</p>

    Xu Da Lung, pass the message to me:</p>

    "She doesn’t seem to be anything special."</p>

    I looked at Xu Dalong and smiled in my heart.</p>

    At this moment, a man in his thirties walked into the inn. Judging from his aura and pace, he should be an expert, and should be Qin Xia Ling’s escort.</p>

    "I’ve been looking for you for a long time."</p>

    "Sit down."</p>

    "We should go."</p>

    "Sit down first, we’re not the only ones here."</p>

    The man, quickly swept a glance at us, then sat down next to Qin Xia Ling.</p>

    Qin Xiaoling, pushing her noodle, in front of him, said:</p>

    "Eat up, this place has great noodles."</p>

    As it turned out, she had known that he would come to her and that’s why she ordered two bowls of noodles.</p>

    "No need."</p>

    "If I tell you to eat, you eat!"</p>

    "Yes."</p>

    The man, started eating the noodles. He wolfed it down and finished it quickly.</p>

    If Liam Heart had been here, he would have understood the man. The guards, always used to eating quickly.</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, said to the man:</p>

    "You eat that fast, be careful you’ll be propped up before you’re killed."</p>

    "I’m fine."</p>

    "Of course you’re fine, I’m the one who’s uneasy."</p>

    The man, standing up, urged:</p>

    "We should go, the alliance master should be looking for you."</p>

    "Okay, go."</p>

    Qin Xia Ling, finished the last sip of wine, stood up, followed the man, and left the inn.</p>

    Looking at their distant backs, Xu Dalong, lamented:</p>

    "What a way to come and go with only a bowl of noodles."</p>

    "I thought you said she was nothing special?"</p>

    "That’s narrow-minded of me, she’s actually quite nice, the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen."</p>

    "She can’t."</p>

    "Why? Do you think that I, a servant, am not worthy of her?"</p>

    "Even if you had a beard, you couldn’t hide your aristocratic demeanor, and neither could you."</p>

    "Then why can’t you?"</p>

    "The son of the Heavenly Demon Monarch, and the granddaughter of the Evil Demon Dao Alliance’s Alliance Leader, this is too dogmatic, isn’t it?"</p>

    Xu Dalong, who then realized that Qin Xia Ling, was actually the granddaughter of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance League Leader, asked in surprise:</p>

    "She’s the granddaughter of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance’s Alliance Leader?"</p>

    "Exactly."</p>

    "How could the granddaughter of the Evil Demon Road Alliance League Leader come to this small inn to eat noodles? And, even sharing a table with us?"</p>

    "How am I supposed to know? Maybe she’s tired of eating mountains of food and wants a change of scenery, or maybe, she just likes the noodles here."</p>

    "Truly the world is unpredictable, I would actually be in an inn in front of the Evil Demon Dao Alliance’s headquarters, with the granddaughter of the Evil Demon Dao Alliance’s master, sharing a table for dinner!"</p>

    "What’s this? You’ll still be competing with her."</p>

    Xu Dalong, even more surprised.</p>

    "What did you say?"</p>

    "She’ll be in the ‘Little Dragon War’ as well."</p>

    Xu Dalong, staring wide-eyed.</p>

    The reason I remember this "Little Dragon War" is because of her. She was the winner of the tournament.</p>

    At that time, I didn’t think that there was anything strange about it. It was normal for the granddaughter of the granddaughter of the Evil Demon Dao Alliance’s master to win the young masters’ tournament.</p>

    But now, I know that the Order of Heaven is behind this competition.</p>

    Qin Xia-Ling, too, had her fate changed because of this competition.</p>

    "Investigator Xu, go for it, try to win the championship!"</p>

    Xu Dalong, knowing that I am serious, he picked up his glass and drank it.</p>

    "How do you expect me to answer you? I need to calm down."</p>

    The next day, Xu Dalong’s first match, started.</p>

    Outside the headquarters of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance, dozens of martial arts platforms were erected, and around each of them, the participants and spectators were crowded.</p>

    Despite the crowds, the race, was well organized.</p>

    The Evil Devil Dao Alliance, had an invisible majesty, and, the one responsible for maintaining order, was the Green Dragon Regiment, the elite organization of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance, so no one dared to make trouble.</p>

    The official in charge of the Yellow Character Group competition, came over and announced the rules of the competition:</p>

    "If you intentionally seriously injure or kill your opponent, you will be disqualified from the match, and, moreover, you will be imprisoned, so be careful with your measurements. This is a match, not a life and death duel."</p>

    Xu Dalong’s first opponent, a disciple of a sword art school in Hubei, was a stout man with stern eyes.</p>

    "I’m nervous as hell."</p>

    "Were you this nervous when you took the Investigator Promotion Exam at the Yellow Springs Pavilion?"</p>

    "That time, I wasn’t nervous at all."</p>

    "Isn’t it all the same? You put in the effort."</p>

    Xu Dalong, looked at me with gratitude in his eyes.</p>

    "I know that you’ve been working hard, and that’s why you’re standing here. If it wasn’t for you, I’d have to grow a beard and take the field for you."</p>

    My encouragement gave Xu Dalong strength, he nodded firmly and said:</p>

    "I will win!"</p>

    Xu Dalong, using only three moves, defeated his opponent without even drawing his sword.</p>
