Han Rui hurriedly explained to Han Xin, "Xinxin, don't listen to Ayun, he just wanted to scare you. The competition will not be advanced and will be held on time."

Han Xin pretended to be startled and patted her chest, "You scared me, luckily we got out of the customs in time, is the registration about to end?"

Han Xin didn't wait for anyone to answer her after she finished speaking, and hurriedly said to Shi Yan who was sitting next to her: "A Yan, let's go sign up later."

"Xinxin, you don't have to register in person. We have already registered for you." Han Rui said hurriedly.

"Ah...you have already signed us up?" Han Xin was surprised.

Shi Yan didn't expect that they would help with registration, which surprised him.

"Why did you sign us up? Do you know what competition we are going to participate in?" Han Xin held his forehead with his hand.

It's okay to do good things, but you can't do bad things with good intentions.

"Friend Han, Ruirui means well. The registration deadline was the day before yesterday. If Ruirui hadn't registered you in advance, your trip to the Central Region would have been in vain. You should thank her." Instead of complaining that she shouldn't have registered.

Jiang Jun couldn't bear to hear anyone misunderstand Ruirui, not even her savior.

Han Xin was surprised again. The registration time is over?

It’s also their fault for not finding out the time clearly before going into seclusion.

"I don't mean to blame Fellow Daoist Han. I just wondered what skills you taught us. I hope they are not ones we are not good at. But what Fellow Daoist Jiang said is also true. We should thank you for this."

There are pros and cons to having signed up. If you sign up for something in their field, that's a good thing and you should thank them. But if you sign up for something they don't know, that's a bad thing.

"Ayun, please stop talking. I did act on my own initiative. I shouldn't have signed them up without Xinxin's permission."

Han Rui knew that she had done the wrong thing by signing up, but she did not regret it.

Ayun spoke up for herself because she didn't want Xinxin and the others to misunderstand her. It was for her own good. Han Rui's tone was very gentle because she didn't want Ayun to be unhappy.

"But Xinxin, don't worry. The reason why I dared to help you sign up is not without purpose. I signed you up for alchemy, and I signed Fellow Daoist Shi up for formations."

Han Xin widened her eyes, shocked by Han Rui's observation ability.

Han Rui smiled and said, "Are you surprised that I know what you are good at?"

Han Xin smiled and said, "I think I have guessed some possibilities."

"Haha. That's right, I guessed it based on observation."

Han Rui did not hide the fact that she came to the conclusion through guesswork. If she guessed wrong, she could only blame herself for having good intentions but doing bad things. As for Xinxin and the others, they should apologize and compensate each other, and they could propose the conditions themselves.

"I already knew that you were an alchemist, so I signed you up for this. As for Fellow Daoist Shi, he was able to take out so many formation plates along the way. I guess he should know how to use formations."

"Haha...You guessed right. I really have to thank you, Fellow Daoist Han. We will host you three tonight at the restaurant. Please do me the honor."

Han Xin originally wanted to participate in the talisman-making competition, but she was delayed in registering because of her advanced cultivation. There is a big difference between alchemy and talisman-making, so she didn't expect to get a reward by alchemy.

But Ayan will definitely get first place.

"We have known each other for such a long time, and I have called you Xinxin, why do you still call me Han Daoyou?" Han Rui pouted, rarely showing emotion.

"Okay, it's my fault. How about I call you Xiao Rui?" This way she can distinguish herself from Wei Mingjing and Jiang Jun.

Han Rui smiled, "Okay, this is for you."

After saying this, he handed over two wooden signs.

Han Xin took it and saw that it was a wooden sign for the contestants. She put away the sign and continued, "Then the dinner is settled. How about eating at the Ke Lai Restaurant, which is the closest to us?"

"can."

After that, they chatted about some recent events in Longcheng, and then Han Rui and the other two said goodbye and went back.

After sending the person out of the hospital, the two looked at each other with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Needless to say, both parties understood what was in each other's mind.

"It would have been nice if we had just come back that day."

Han Xin was talking about after successfully overcoming the tribulation.

"It is God's will. We don't need to force it. Besides, Xinxin's alchemy skills are excellent."

In the evening, the two groups gathered at the gate of Han Xin's house. It was less than one kilometer from here to the restaurant.

Because they were worried that they would not be able to get a seat if they arrived too late, several people came before mealtime.

Fortunately, the last box was booked by them.

They were all glad that they arrived in time.

"You can order yourselves, just order whatever you like." Han Xin said.

Han Rui looked at her and replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you order, Xinxin, just order whatever you want. We're not picky eaters."

Han Xin looked at Wei Mingjing and Jiang Jun, and saw that their doting gazes were all on Han Rui, which showed that they just listened to their own Taoist partners.

Han Xin turned to look at the waiter who was waiting for their order and said, "First, give us a few of your restaurant's signature dishes, and then a jar of wine."

"Okay, seniors, please wait a moment, the food and drinks will be served soon." After the waiter said this, he left the box, closed the door and left.

"Xiao Rui, what were you doing during our retreat?" While waiting for the food, Han Xin had nothing to do, so she started chatting with Han Rui who was sitting next to her.

"Most of the time I stay in the yard to practice and make pills. Occasionally I go out to set up a stall and empty the pills in my storage ring."

"You didn't walk around the city?" Han Xin looked disappointed. "I was hoping that before the Four Arts Competition, you could take me out for a walk and introduce me to Dragon City. Sigh..."

"Hehe...Although I can't take you around, I can go around with you. As for wanting to know more about this Dragon City, isn't it easy? Why don't we just find someone to be our guide? I think the kid we saw before is pretty good, what do you think?"

"Your idea is good. Let's do it this way." Han Xin smiled. "Did you have any contact with that kid again?"

Although Han Xin's tone was questioning, she had actually already determined in her heart that it was the fact.

"Yeah, have you forgotten that time when that kid said he had signed up and came to inform us?"

Han Xin shook her head, "I haven't forgotten. I thought he was just talking at the time."

"How could that be possible? Not only did he come to inform us, he also took us to the registration place for the Four Arts Competition."

"That kid is pretty good." Next time I see him, I can give him more spirit stones.

There was a knock on the door, and before they could open it, the waiter from before came in, followed by a few ordinary waiters carrying plates of food.

As they came in and out, plates of food soon filled up the table.
