"Uh... seniors also know that I have a lot of chores, so..." Yu Ling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Is making money that important?" Xu Yanting asked sadly.

"How should I put it? I have something very important to accomplish. The formation cannot achieve this goal, but the star coins can." Yu Ling said straightforwardly.

Xu Yanting waved his hands angrily and said: "Okay, okay, you can go."

"But I have a friend who is a real formation genius, maybe even better than Shang Xianyu and them. When I see him again in the future, I will bring him to meet the seniors, and I will ask the seniors to give me some advice.

" Yu Ling said again.

"Where are the others?" Xu Yanting asked casually.

"In the Daoyu Galaxy..." Before Yu Ling could finish speaking, Xu Yanting exclaimed: "Are you talking about the genius who just emerged from the Yuanling Tribe in the past two years, named Nian Yubai?

"

"Senior also knows?" Yu Ling said in surprise.

"I have traveled to the Daoyu Galaxy. Both space research and formation methods there are more than one level higher than those in the Southern Territory. After all, they are two major spiritual tribes. Their innate advantages cannot be helped. But I have not seen your friend with my own eyes.

, because the core hinterland of the Spirit Clan will not let outsiders in under any circumstances. Even if some elders are polite enough to ask me for help, they will never give in on such a principled issue."

Xu Yanting sighed with emotion for a while. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wang Anyuan outside the window, still waiting there stupidly, and then returned to the topic: "I accidentally went too far. Let him come in. He is staying with me these days.

.I originally thought that this child would be with

Like those loose cultivating geniuses in the past, they randomly found a prince to seek refuge with. Unexpectedly, he was so cute and stupid. This is like a simple sheep accidentally straying into a pack of wolves. If you don't fish it out quickly, sooner or later, the prince will be killed.

They gnawed until there was not even a scrap left."

Yu Ling opened the door and called Wang Anyuan directly into the room. The latter was confused and didn't know what the two talked about that led to such earth-shaking changes.

"Talk to me about Shuo when you have time. Relax. Senior Jin Huang still appreciates you, but you can't tell it from his words. If he doesn't like you, he won't let you go at all.

Let's step into the courtyard." Yu Ling said casually.

"Yeah, you should be careful." Wang Anyuan nodded heavily.

Yu Ling didn't stay too much. After leaving the double pavilion, he directly crushed the space crystal and returned to the palace, because there was still a prisoner waiting for him to interrogate.

Thinking back to a year or two ago, he had no power to fight back against Wu Youqiu, but now he was able to gain the upper hand, not to say he could easily defeat him. Judging from this, he was not wasting his time in vain.

Since Yu Ling had lived in the palace for some time, he no longer needed others to guide him, so he quietly came to the dungeon without disturbing others.

"Who?"

The guards of the dungeon reacted very quickly and blocked the entrance directly.

After Yu Ling showed the imperial token, the guard hurriedly put away his weapons, respectfully stepped out of the way, and asked by the way: "Which felon do you want to interrogate?"

"Where is the guy who was just detained tonight?" Yu Ling asked.

"Oh, that man is at the very back. Because he has a very high level of cultivation and is a warrior, he must be prepared carefully. How about I take you there?" A guard asked inquiringly.

"No, I'll see for myself." Yu Ling waved her hand to reject the guard's kindness, and then slowly walked into the long corridor.

On both sides were prisons one after another. Many felons inside were covered in blood, leaning motionless on the simple beds. They didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Occasionally, there were a few in better condition, who just stared blankly at Yu Ling.

, there was even one person who was shaking the fence crazily, shouting random sentences at the top of his lungs, and Yu Ling simply walked around from a distance.

Finally arriving at the deepest part of the prison, Wu Youqiu was wrapped in heavy shackles and chains because the prison guards were very inexperienced in imprisoning warriors. After all, the spiritual power could be directly sealed with something like a forbidden spirit ring, but how to obtain the mysterious power?

?The only way they can think of is to crazily increase the burden on Wu Youqiu, and then activate the prison trap, and nothing else can be done.

Facts have proved that Wu Youqiu's burdens were of no use, because the moment he saw Yu Ling, he stood up with a swipe on the floor, and the iron chains clattered non-stop, almost becoming a sonata.

"Can we talk about it now?" Wu Youqiu took two steps forward, but bumped into the formation screen and had to step back with a frown.

"Of course. I want to know what mission the Fire Refining Sect has given you?" Yu Ling asked.

Wu Youqiu sneered and said, "Then tell me first who you are? Why do you know so many things about me?"

"Will you tell me what I said?" Yu Ling said sarcastically.

Wu Youqiu was speechless for a moment, so he simply sat back on the bed and stared at the wall without saying anything.

Yu Ling said calmly: "I know that people in the Fire Refining Sect have no loyalty at all. You don't betray just because the price is not enough. How about you tell everything honestly and I let you go?"

"Give me a reason to believe you." Wu Youqiu said expressionlessly.

"We currently have no irreconcilable conflicts of interest. You don't really want to serve those princes, right? You can handle the tasks assigned to you by the Fire Refining Sect flexibly," Yu Ling said.

"There is no conflict at present, and there will be in the future." Wu Youqiu said coldly.

"That's what happens in the future. Whether you can survive until that time depends on your choice." Yu Ling said calmly: "I'll give you three days. You can slowly consider whether your life is more important or whether you should stick to it.

Loyalty is more important. The latter thing is actually worthless in many cases."

Wu Youqiu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he hesitated to speak for a moment.

Yu Ling simply turned around and left because he believed that the longer time passed, the more reluctant Wu Youqiu would be to die.

When people are bored, they can only recall the past, and those past events will make Wu Youqiu realize that he still has a reason to live.

…

Soon, the second-round rookie competition officially began.

During the exchange between the master group, the royal family was defeated as expected, which made other princes sigh in relief. They thought that the royal family was really going to rise this time, but now it seems that Wen Wei was just an accident.

But this accident actually survived to the second round, which surprised many princes. They didn't quite understand why Haiminggong and others didn't attack Wen Wei. Were they not anxious at all?

But there was something even more surprising next, because Wang Anyuan also entered the venue without incident.

That night, the beggar's roar was heard by half the city. Now that they saw Wang Anyuan himself, everyone had the illusion that he was a corpse.

Wang Anyuan was stared at by all kinds of eyes, and he looked awkward. When he walked to the center of the venue, he started to sweat.

Xu Yanting, who was sitting on the high platform, couldn't help snorting coldly and said in a stern tone: "Why are you staring at my apprentice? Are you okay with your time?"

The whole place fell silent immediately. There were obviously tens of thousands of people, but it was so quiet that there was no unnecessary noise. Everyone entered the petrified state very neatly.

Apprentice...apprentice?! What is the old master of the formation emperor talking about? For so many years, he has not even bothered to accept a named disciple. What is going on with this Wang Anyuan!

Everyone stared at Wang Anyuan dumbfounded. The latter's reaction was even more surprised than theirs, and he almost lost his legs and lost his balance.

The contestants also had strange expressions. Xu Yanting would not accept any prince's children or subordinates as his disciples. They could understand, but there were several casual cultivating geniuses who reached 90% in these spiritual formation exchange meetings. Xu Yanting was nowhere to be seen.

What special treatment was given to them? Did Wang Anyuan go through the back door?

"Okay, okay, everyone has different expressions. Although I have accepted a disciple, I will still give fair grades. Let's start now and set up your imperial formation!" Xu Yanting waved his sleeves.

Many princes held back their complaints because Mr. Xu didn't give fair grades from the beginning, okay? He just gave as much as he wanted in a very casual manner.

But no matter what, the second round of competition will still proceed as usual. The contestants quickly stopped slandering and walked to their examination rooms one after another.

"Wen Wei, you must work hard!" Jun Lou quietly made a cheering gesture as he walked past Yu Ling.

Yu Ling nodded at him, and then heard Jun Lou ask: "By the way, why haven't you seen Dai Sheng again in the past few days?"

"Maybe he left because of something." Yu Ling was vague.

"Oh..." Junlou didn't think much about it.

In fact, Dai Sheng was put under control that night, but a few days passed, and the royal family didn't seem to find anything valuable in the interrogation.

Yu Ling shook his head and threw away these complicated thoughts. He had stepped up his extra classes in the past three days. The most obvious benefit was that his formation techniques had improved, at least it would not give people an unprofessional impression.
