The Eastern Dragon Goddess
The Spring Match
The much-anticipated spring match that royal audiences have been waiting for begins. This match was held in the hall of the royal palace of Wei which was already decorated in such a way for the spring match.
The young representatives of the entire kingdom and the entire white sect to attend the spring match had already been seen in the area of the Wei kingdom since one day ago, there were those who practiced with their respective teachers in the courtyard of their pavilions that had been prepared by the Wei kingdom and some who chose to surround the Wei kingdom for a walk.
"Hey Fang Yin don't go too far from around the palace!!" shouted a girl with hair tied in two over her head, to a boy who was running in front of her.
"Aanchi be calm, we are still inside the palace walls, so we will not cross the line" said the boy with a long shoulder length of hair.
"But you're not going too fast!" Fang Yin stopped his steps so that Annchi could align his steps with Fang Yin.
"Come on" Fang Yin invited Annchi to take a leisurely walk in the backyard area of the palace walls.
"Here the air is fresher than in the courtyard of the main palace" Fang Yin spread out her hands and raised her head up with her eyes closed.
"Fang Yin" call Annchi.
"Why" Fang Yin replied with an unchanged position.
"Look! there's an old building!" Fang Yin opened his eyes to see what Annchi had shown.
"It's a pavilium" Fang Yin said.
"Why is there a pavilion nearby? is it far from the palace?" ask Aanchi wonder.
"Let's go, let's go there!" invite Fang Yin to Aanchi who looks hesitant.
"Can I?" Aachi was still motionless, he was still looking at the pavilion from afar.
"That's it!" Fang Yin pulled Aanchi's hand to head to the pavilion.
"This pavilium looks neat and clean" Fang Yin looked at the pavilion before him.
"Does anyone live here" Fang Yin stuck both his shoulders in response to Aanchi's question.
Fang Yin and Annchi who were still busy looking around the pavilium were shocked by the open pavilion door, from inside the pavilion came a girl in plain clothes with no red motifs and unadorned horse-tied hair, but did not affect her pretty face.
"Who are you?" ask Xu Lian.
"My name is Fang Yin and this is my cousin Aanchi's sister, our Ehmmm from the Saharan Sect as a representative in the spring match" Fang Yin was fascinated with Xu Lian's natural beauty without any decorations. Xu Lian only nodded his head after hearing Fang Yin's reply.
"Hmm what's your name?" asked Fang Yin carefully.
"Xu Lian" Fang Yin and Aanchi were shocked when they heard Xu Lian's name, because not only did the Wei kingdom know about Xu Lian being a child of curses but the entire mainland even the sects outside the white stream knew about it.
"Fang Yin we'd better get out of here" Aanchi tried to draw Fang Yin's hand for them to leave Xu Lian's place because he didn't want to get into trouble when everyone knew they were together with the girl who had the famous curse.
"You guys get out of here if you don't want to get into trouble" Xu Lian already knew if someone who already knew his identity, they would try to stay away. Hence Xu Lian had never had any friends other than Jingmi although Xu Lian had very much hoped to have friends.
"Alright, but I will come to your place again" Fang Yin said with a serious glare of eyes that made Xu Lian smile.
Fang Yin and Aanchi left Xu Lian's pavilion.

Spring games began, many residents who came to the palace hall just want to watch the spring game. In the middle of the palace hall there is already a stage that is large enough to serve as a place where the match began.
To the west, on the west, it had been neatly affected the seating for the nobles and sect elders who had been invited to attend the spring games and next to it had also been neatly affected the seating for the Wei royal family themselves.
Everyone began to occupy their respective seats according to the one that had been arranged by the Wei kingdom. Even the participants have lined up neatly under the stage of the match.
A 35-year-old man with two swords on his back went up on stage.
"Honored ladies and gentlemen, this year's spring match is about to begin" Xiao Tian shouted with the help of inner strength so that his voice could be heard by everyone.
"In this spring game there are three stages, namely the first stage of the participants will be randomized to create a group of 4 people, namely the first stage, and 2 groups will compete in a way all groups must keep a ball so that the opposing group can not take it. The group that can take the ball from the opposing group then the group will come out as the winner" Xiao Tian explained about the manner of the match at the initial stage.
"For the participants, please take the paper on the table that says the name of your group" Xiao Tian pointed to a box containing the group number.
Xu Lian walked towards the box that Xiao Tian was heading towards along with the other participants. After waiting for the long queue, Xu Lian also got his turn to pick up the paper. After he took the paper he opened it and it was written 'Group 25'.
"Fang Ying focus" Aanchi reprimanded Fang Yin who had been staring at Xu Lian. Fang Yin wished he could one group with Xu Lian.

Elsewhere outside the area of the residents watching the spring games, there was a man in his black robe with a mask on his face who was watching the spring match from the roof of the building of the Wei royal palace, no one is aware of his presence.
Zhang Xiuhuan smiled as he saw that the girl he had met back then was inside this match.
"Is my girl going to win this match?" zhang Xiuhuan asked Pete.
"When did she become your girl?" Pete was astonished by Zhang Xiuhuan's strange demeanor.
Zhang Xiuhuan's face that was originally engraved with a smile had now changed like a ferocious beast ready to pounce on its prey.
"Who is that boy? how dare he approach my girl and talk to her?" zhang Xiuhuan said furiously.
The one thing Pete wanted to do was get out of Zhang Xiuhuan's body and shout.
"WOIII SINCE WHEN DID SHE BECOME YOUR GIRL?? FUCKING CRAZY BOYNN!!"
