Zong Qian wanted to laugh a little, but was a little bitter at the same time. He pretended to be carefree in front of others, as if Wang Mian was enjoying his life, but in private he was like this in Situ's mansion.
Many things are clear just from the scene; he has been complaining that he is just a small procuratorate, while Wang Mian is already a higher-level Si Ge in the Situ Mansion, but who knows that the scenery in front of people is behind the scenes?
There is a price to pay.
This is typical workplace bullying. It is like this in the ordinary world, and it is no less generous in the world of cultivation.
For example, in Sikong Mansion, if he joins the lowest level of the Senshen Realm, his situation will be much better if the name matches the reality. Moreover, there are many sullen and ruthless people in Sikong Mansion. If you don't do it, Sikong will be killed.
Because of his style, no one would come to trouble him like a low-level arrestee.
For example, when Hou Tsang joined the company, it was after he became famous. He had a brilliant record and didn't face too many difficulties.
Only someone like Wang Mian, who is a newcomer and has surpassed Yiwei to become Sige, is more eye-catching. For most Situfu sword cultivators, they start from Yiwei step by step, which is tiring.
As his gong went up, he became the object of envy of many people.
Of course, they are just jealous and a little angry. For them, the best way to vent their anger is to have a fight. According to the unspoken rules, when you can defeat most of the Yiwei, it means that you still have the ability to join Si Ge.
If you are genuine, as time goes by, everyone will slowly accept you.
But this is not over yet. In the Sige group, these people also have to be divided into high and low, male and female, which becomes the basis for who listens to whom in future actions. Therefore, Wang Mian successfully passed the test of the Yiwei group.
Finally, now he begins to face Si Gequn's challenge, and this time, it's not easy for him to pass either.
After all, it had not been long since he had ascended to the natural realm. Compared with these veteran cultivators and sword fighting masters, there was indeed a gap. He also did not have enough time to study swordsmanship too much. After dozens of battles, he was left with a pile of puppet fragments behind him.
That explains his situation.
Wang Mian actually didn't want his friends to see his embarrassment at this time, but he couldn't escape it even after he came. After being smashed into pieces again, he finally had some time to rest.
"Hey, it's just normal sword fighting. Everyone here is used to it. If you don't fight once a day, you will feel itchy all over..."
The two of them looked at him funny and said nothing, until Wang Mian couldn't hold on any longer.
"Uh, okay, I admit that I was trained in the Situ Mansion; those Yiwei are easy to deal with, but these old Sige are very troublesome. They have been studying swordsmanship for decades longer than us. This gap is still small.
If you have a chance to chase them, give me ten years, oh no, just give me another five years and I can beat them to pieces..."
This is not entirely a boast. Wang Mian's potential in cultivation is astonishing. He is only about ten years behind Hou Zi. His swordsmanship talent is also very good. He is very valued by the elders among this generation of disciples. This is also why he
The reason why he can be mentioned directly to Si Ge.
Zong Qian felt much more comfortable, "If you have any difficulties, just tell them. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We have been friends for decades, who doesn't know who the other is?"
Wang Mian chuckled. He was straightforward and free-spirited, and he didn't hide anything in his heart. He would not be rigid in front of these two true friends. Anyway, it was broken now, so let's break it.
"Well, I'm a little tight. These guys are challenging me one after another. I just treat it as sword practice. How can I usually have so many opportunities against free opponents? It's just that this portable puppet is a bit expensive. I can't get into the palace.
In the past ten days, I have bought dozens of portable puppets, and I am a little overwhelmed..."
Looking at the idle group of Situ Mansion members not far away, laughing and pointing here, he knew that there was nothing right or wrong about something like this. He himself did not object to this kind of friendly competition. For sword cultivators, it was
A rare opportunity, but the cost is indeed a bit high.
Throwing a treasure gourd over, "You can use it first, but what I can't understand is that although carrying a puppet with you is not cheap, you are still in the natural realm. It makes no sense that you can't support it for only ten days, right?"
Wang Mian was a little prevaricated, "Oh, I spent a bit too much when I went to the realm, and my net worth was all filled in..."
While the three of them were talking, several sword cultivators from the Situ Palace came over and looked at the two of them carefully. They found an embroidered eye in the hidden part of the cuffs of Hou and Zi, and they understood where they were coming from.
.
Within Yanmen Quanzhen, there are no special requirements for clothing, but generally speaking, Sima monks will embroider a steelyard on their sleeves to represent fairness in doing things; Situ monks will embroider a sword on their sleeves to show that they are combat-oriented; and Sikongfu embroiders
The eye is an eye that controls and supervises.
No need to ask, these two friends of Wang Mian must be from Sikong Mansion.
The leading monk didn't care and just looked at Wang Mian, "Junior brother, your portable puppet is broken. Senior brother, I will sell you another one..."
Wang Ming looked a little embarrassed, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Shan. Can you keep the accounts first? Senior Brother should be very clear about my character, and I am not a defaulter."
Senior brother Shan smiled and said: "Of course you can keep accounts without spiritual stones, but if you don't pay the bills with spiritual stones, it will inevitably make people suspicious? Junior brother just borrowed a gourd of spiritual stones, why did he start to shirk this mere hundred
Is it a top-grade spiritual stone?"
Zong Qian next to him was very surprised, "One hundred high-grade spiritual stones? Why don't you go and grab it? I just saw it. This is the kind of portable puppet with the least functions. There are only thirty high-grade spiritual stones of this quality on the market at most. Situ
Is it possible that the house is still a black shop?"
Zong Qian is not very good at talking, which is a common problem among most of the family's children, but he is very upright, and his pricing for portable puppets is also very accurate. In fact, this kind of puppet is made for sword fights between sword cultivators.
The puppets are relatively crude, and they are meant to be destroyed anyway. If you really want to buy them, you can buy them on the market for less than twenty high-grade spiritual stones. Obviously, this is a forced sale.
Senior Brother Shan's eyes turned cold, "This junior brother has good eyesight, but do you think that our dedication to accompany you to practice swordsmanship is in vain?"
Zong Qian showed no sign of weakness, "Then why don't you just say that you are charging protection fees for newcomers? You have to add a high-sounding excuse for your behavior. Believe it or not, I will report it to you and put an end to the charges of gathering together for gambling in private and treating your fellow disciples harshly."
?”
Senior Brother Shan laughed loudly, "You are overthinking, young man, no matter how long Sikong Mansion's hand is, he can't reach into my Situ Mansion! I can see it too, you are trying to stand up for your friends, right? Whatever,
To satisfy you, everyone is a sword cultivator, so let’s see the real chapter on the sword!
If you win, I, Situ Mansion, will not charge you anything for the portable puppet, and any excess you charged him before will be refunded to him! But if you lose, I will sell this portable puppet for a thousand high-grade spiritual stones!
