Pei Xuan's expression was extremely complicated for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he looked up at Xiao Yan and said, "Master Xiao Yan, please do it for Pei Jun's sake."
"Pei Jun?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard Pei Jun's name.
"Master Xiao Yan, you should know who Pei Jun is, right? Like you, he is also a disciple of the Wuji Sect."
Pei Xuan thought his words had an effect, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he added, "Besides, he is still my nephew."
Xiao Yan naturally knows who Pei Jun is.
This man, like Xiao Yan, is a disciple of the Wuji Sect, and has fought against Xiao Yan several times.
Pei Xuan is Pei Jun's uncle. His ability to become the city lord of Xuanfeng County is largely related to Pei Jun.
It was Pei Jun's operation that made him the city lord of Xuanfeng County.
"Do you think I need to give Pei Jun face?"
Seeing Pei Xuan's proud expression, Xiao Yan glanced at Pei Xuan with contempt and asked.
"One more friend is better than one more enemy."
Pei Xuan smiled and said, looking confident.
He knew that Xiao Yan's status in Wuji Sect was extraordinary.
Given the choice, he certainly was not willing to go against Xiao Yan.
Because what he was thinking was the same as what he just said.
One more friend is better than one more enemy.
If he could win over Xiao Yan, he would be happy with it.
But if he couldn't, he didn't want to offend him.
Moving out of Pei Jun now is a last resort.
As the city lord of Xuanfeng County, he is very clear about Wuji Sect's will.
Wuji Sect has always attached great importance to the assessment of the Thirteen Counties.
Because Wuji Sect pursues the policy of cultivating elite disciples.
The recruitment of every disciple is extremely strict.
After joining the Wuji Sect, the Wuji Sect spared no effort in cultivating these disciples.
This is why Pei Xuan tried every means to get his son to join the Wuji Sect.
Now, his trickery in the assessment has been exposed.
Once the Wuji Sect becomes aware of it, he will definitely be punished.
At worst, he would be removed from the position of city lord of Xuanfeng County, and at worst, he would be executed.
He didn't want Xiao Yan to report this matter.
"Do you think Pei Jun is qualified to be my enemy?"
Xiao Yan understood what Pei Xuan meant, but his expression remained as cold as ever.
No proud man of heaven likes to be threatened by others.
Pei Xuan's words clearly meant to threaten Xiao Yan.
This made Xiao Yan unhappy.
"Um?"
Pei Xuan's face darkened, he didn't expect Xiao Yan's attitude to be so tough.
Xiao Yan then asked Pei Xuan coldly, "Do you know why I am in charge of the selection for Xuanfeng County today, and not Pei Jun?"
"It's just an assignment from the Wuji Sect."
Pei Xuan replied matter-of-factly.
"Innocent."
Xiao Yan shook his head, "In the Wuji Sect, only the top thirteen disciples are qualified to preside over the assessment of each county. Pei Jun only ranked 19th in the last Wuji Sect competition, barely making it.
Just one of the top twenty! He is not qualified to preside over the Wuji Sect's assessment."
Only the top thirteen people in the Wuji Sect are qualified to preside over the assessments in each county.
Xiao Yan told Pei Xuan this, of course, not really to clear up Pei Xuan's doubts.
He was telling Pei Xuan that he was the top thirteen disciple of the Wuji Sect, while Pei Jun was only the nineteenth.
There is a big gap in strength between the two.
Pei Jun is not worthy of being his enemy.
Pei Xuan didn't understand what Xiao Yan meant, and fell silent for a moment when Xiao Yan finished speaking.
Xiao Yan immediately ignored Pei Xuan and turned to look at Ling Tian, who was still standing on the platform.
After smiling at Ling Tian, he announced in a serious voice, "Today's Wuji Sect assessment will be held, and Ling Tian is the winner!"
"It's over, the annual assessment is over."
"So this person is called Ling Tian?"
"It seems that Wuji Sect has another genius."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished his announcement, the quiet crowd became commotion.
Everyone had already guessed the final result, so they were not surprised.
Whether it was Ling Tian's performance when he withstood the pressure of gravity before, or the strength he showed when fighting Pei Qing, they all overwhelmed everyone who participated in the assessment today.
Therefore, Ling Tian's victory at this moment is completely deserved.
"Ling Tian?"
Pei Xuan opened his eyes slightly when he heard Xiao Yan's announcement.
It was also at this time that he learned Ling Tian's name.
Before this, Ling Tian had never introduced himself.
Because of this, he felt a little confused.
How did Xiao Yan learn about Ling Tian's name?
Pei Xuan realized something and turned to look at Xiao Yan with some suspicion, "Has Young Master Xiao Yan known this Ling Tian before?"
"So what?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Pei Xuan with a casual look on his face.
"Ha ha……"
The guess in his heart was confirmed, but Pei Xuan's face turned gloomy, "It seems that the person who practices favoritism and malpractice is not me, but you, Mr. Xiao Yan?"
"You said I engaged in malpractice for personal gain?"
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked closely at Pei Xuan.
Ling Tian stood on the platform, but felt that Pei Xuan's words were a bit ridiculous.
Perhaps Pei Xuan was driven into panic and chose to bite people indiscriminately.
He felt that biting back at Xiao Yan could confuse the public and prevent him from being traced by the Wuji Sect.
If Ling Tian was only slightly better than Pei Qing today, such counterattack might actually have an effect.
But now, it's completely useless.
"Master Xiao Yan has known Ling Tian for a long time and is an old acquaintance with Ling Tian. Therefore, he always helped Ling Tian during the assessment and helped Ling Tian pass today's assessment. Isn't this cheating for personal gain?"
Pei Xuanli scolded him confidently, and it sounded like he meant to break up with Xiao Yan.
When the crowd around the clearing heard what Pei Xuan said, they all thought deeply.
It is not difficult to see that Xiao Yan and Ling Tian have indeed known each other for a long time.
Many people also doubted whether Xiao Yan had engaged in malpractice for personal gain during the assessment process.
But if you think about it carefully, this idea is a bit ridiculous.
With Ling Tian's strength, does he need to resort to fraud to pass the assessment?
"You are so ridiculous."
Xiao Yan shook his head and said to Pei Xuan nonchalantly, "If you are willing, you can go to Wuji Sect and file a complaint against me! Don't treat others as fools."
When Pei Xuan saw that Xiao Yan didn't take his threat seriously at all, his face darkened again, and then a trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
This intention to kill was fleeting, but Xiao Yan was still able to capture it.
"There is killing intent in your eyes! Who do you want to kill?"
Xiao Yan looked slightly cold and asked Pei Xuandao, "Are you planning to kill me? Or are you planning to kill Ling Tian?"
"How dare I kill a disciple of the Wuji Sect?"
Pei Xuan lowered his head slightly and spoke in a deep voice.
"It seems that you are not hopelessly stupid."
Xiao Yan glanced at Pei Xuan coldly. After receiving such an answer from Pei Xuan, he did not intend to pay any attention to Pei Xuan and stepped forward towards Ling Tian.
