Beitang Wan'er tilted her head. There was warmth in her eyes, but also a bit of disappointment and confusion that she had never noticed. Then she disappeared and said with a smile: "I don't want you to owe me any favors. Seeing the person opposite
Are you there? Yu Anjun, the second son of the head of the Yu family in Jiangzhou. During the ranking competition at the Wu Jing Gym, if you have the chance, try to help me kick him out!"
Although the competition at Yuecheng Academy is over at this time, it is only the completion of the process of selecting disciples, and it is only the 'Gateway Examination'. There are two more competitions at Wujing Gymnasium and Lichen Benshan, which are called 'Tao Examinations' respectively.
' and 'Mountain Examination' are related to the rankings of various schools in Soochow.
However, it is neither an elimination nor a wheel. In order to save time, it is in the form of a challenge. The Wu Jing Gym will determine the ranking of the selected disciples based on the rankings of each academy in the previous three years.
For example, Wu Jing Daoguan ranks seventeenth among the eight hundred Lichen academies in the Tianyi Kingdom. It not only has the right to recommend three people, but also has nine disciples who can be selected into the inner sect of Lichen in the 'gium examination'. Even the top four
Everyone has the qualifications to become a true disciple.
As for the so-called 'chief' like Zhuang Wudao, he came from the Yuecheng branch, which ranked at the bottom, and his ranking was roughly equivalent to the fourth seat of the Wu Jing Taoist gym. Among the disciples selected for the entire Soochow "Taoist examination", it is estimated that
I'm going to be ranked outside the top twenty.
If you are dissatisfied with your ranking, you can continue to challenge. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will affect the ranking of your school.
"If Brother Zhuang can really suppress this Lord Yu An, I personally am willing to pay one thousand taels of gold, and I will never break my promise!"
Kong Hui suddenly spoke out, still looking directly at the burly man opposite, with a murderous look on his face.
"This Mr. Yu An is also very annoying. I won't be willing to kill him without killing him."
"Ha, it's rare that you, Kong Hui, are so generous. Xia will not fall behind others. We are willing to give you a thousand taels of gold as a reward for our senior brother. With your senior brother's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat him."
When Xia Miao said this, she laughed softly again: "Of course, if Brother Zhuang can reach the top three in Wu Jing Gym, then if you ask the guarding eunuch's mansion to give out ten thousand taels of gold, that Eunuch Xiahou will be willing to do it. Speaking of Xiahou
That guy Tiger, haven’t you come looking for you these past few days?”
The flying boat was narrow, and the few people did not suppress their voices when speaking. Yu Anjun also listened, and looked at Zhuang Wudao for the first time, maybe because he couldn't see anything strange. He let out a cold sound of disdain, and then
He closed his eyes again and paid no attention to him.
Zhuang Wudao remained silent, as long as he could get into the top three, and Xia Miaokong's rankings were not too low. The ranking of Yuecheng Academy could be improved by at least nearly a hundred places. Originally, he was
Xiahou Hu, who was dropped out of the screening, could also be selected as an inner sect and qualified to participate in the Lichen Sect's "Basic Mountain Examination".
It was not that the Xiahou family had never come to look for him, they had made an appointment with him a few days ago. However, at that time, he was refining a blood sacrifice weapon and was not interested in fighting for the children of these aristocratic families, so he did not go to the appointment.
After that, the Xiahou family probably felt that there was little hope, and there was no news of any action.
Now that I think about it, maybe I can still do this business——
I just don't know how to start.

The speed of the flying boat was extremely fast, and it could be said that it traveled thousands of miles in a day. However, when it arrived in Wujing, it was also Chen time on the next day.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way and everything was safe. However, at an altitude of 9,000 feet, the temperature was extremely low and the wind was strong.
Zhuang Wudao had cultivated the Tianxuan Illuminating World Sutra and had a stone flame in his body, so he was in good condition. At night, Xia Miao and others had to use their energy to resist, and their whole bodies were almost frozen into popsicles. But Bei
Tang Wan'er simply snuggled next to Zhuang Wudao and relied on the flame power in his body to keep warm. She was not afraid of the severe cold.
When the flying boat landed, Xia Miao shook off all the ice and frost on her body, and her cold face looked better. However, she immediately invited Zhuang Wudao to the Xia family's villa in Wujing.
In fact, Lichen disciples from other places can stay in the huts of Wu Jing Taoist Hall. However, how can these disciples from aristocratic families endure the hardships in the Taoist Hall? In Wu Jingzhong, everyone has his own place to go.
Zhuang Wudao also knew that the young master of the Xia family of Baibingtang wanted to make friends, but he still refused outright. He also didn't know if Xia Miao knew about the entanglement between him and the Chongyangzi, and maybe they would
You will regret it.
The Beitang family was only responsible for his safety when he arrived in Wujing and could no longer be relied upon. For him at this time, the safest and most secure place to stay was the Wujing Taoist Hall where at least three foundation-building monks were stationed.
However, when he stepped down from the boat ladder, he saw a young man wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Lichen Sect walking towards him from a distance.
"Are you Zhuang Wudao from Yuecheng? Master Feng Xuan and Elder Chi Lingzi have ordered you and Inspector Li to go to the Wu Jing Taoist Hall to meet you."
Zhuang Wudao was stunned for a moment, Master Feng Xuan? Is it Master Feng Xuan from Wu Jing Gym? Is Chi Lingzi also in Wu Jing at this moment?
These two people called him over to meet him. What did they mean?
A hint of ominous premonition arose in his heart. Not only him, Xia Miao Konghui also looked surprised and confused. Beitang Wan'er also bit her lower lip, biting her lip without even realizing it.
Only Li Chongzhen, who then walked down, had the corners of his lips raised slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared.
※※※※
The Lichen Academy is located in the center of Wu Jing, less than a thousand feet away from the imperial palace. It is majestic and grand, and its area is not much different from that of the Wu Palace. It is much better than the Lichen Academy in Yue City.
.
The eastern part of the Wu Kingdom has been dominated by the Yishan Sect for thousands of years. However, in the west of the Wu Kingdom, the Lichen Sect is deeply rooted. Its status in the Soochow Kingdom even surpasses that of the royal family.
The entrance to this gym is strictly guarded all the way, and there are even guards from Soochow's imperial army.
Zhuang Wudao felt uneasy and had no intention of watching the scenery inside Wu Jing. His mind was groggy and he followed Li Chongzhen into the gym.
As soon as he arrived in front of the most magnificent hall, Zhuang Wudao's eyelids jumped again when he saw a very familiar figure.
"Master Lie, my old servant is here to say hello to you!"
Shen Lin stood on the steps and smiled, and bowed to Zhuang Wudao without any sincerity: "It's exactly half a month now, so you and I meet again. How about we go in together? Don't keep Master Feng Xuan and Elder Chi Lingzi waiting for too long.
"
There was a "boom" in Zhuang Wudao's mind, and he clenched his fist suddenly, and a line of blood overflowed from the corner of his lips.
At this moment, he used all his strength to resist the urge to turn around and leave.
Shen Lin is here today. Could it be that Master Feng Xuan has also been bribed by Shen Lin? A Taoist Master really has the courage to expel him from the house? Isn't this Master always upright and upright and praised by others?
However, there is another Sekireiko——
With confused thoughts, Zhuang Wudao walked into the palace gate in despair. He saw Shen Lin and bowed upward with an elegant and calm manner: "Chongyang family slave Shen Lin came here on the order of my lord. I have seen Feng Xuan. Real person, I have met Elder Chi Ling."
Deep in the hall, two people were sitting upright. Chi Lingzi was in the middle, with his eyes closed, and there was no movement. But beside him, there was an old man in his fifties with a smile, waving his hand and saying politely: "Get up, you He is also a monk in the late stage of the Qi Training Realm, so he might be able to call me a fellow Taoist in the future. He is also a member of my Tao, so there is no need for so many courtesy."
Zhuang Wudao gritted his teeth and looked pale. He followed Li Chongzhen to the hall and bowed down.
Chi Lingzi seemed to be asleep, while Feng Xian took a deep look at Zhuang Wudao, and then asked doubtfully: "Chongzhen, the chief disciple of Yuecheng you mentioned, Zhuang Wudao, is this one?"
"Exactly!" Li Chongzhen raised his head and clasped his fists
"You said that his true identity is the second son of Chongyangzi of Taiping Dao, and he is not suitable to worship in my Lichen Gate. Is this true?"
Master Feng Xuan said doubtfully: "However, I also heard that this boy has outstanding talents. He has cultivated at least three top martial arts, four kinds of mystical powers, and his strength is quite good. I looked at his records and he started learning when he was eight years old. , has been in Yuecheng Academy for eight years, and it seems that he sneaked into our sect intentionally and became the Taiping Sect’s eyes and ears, what is going on? "
Zhuang Wudao frowned and was about to speak, but Li Chongzhen didn't give him a chance to speak, and said first: "Of course not! Zhuang Wudao's original name was Shen Lie, and his mother, Zhuang Xiaoxi, was the first wife of Chongyangzi. There were some disputes between the couple, and they moved to the south in anger. As a result, Zhuang Wudao changed his name and went to Lichen Academy to study. The Chongyang son missed his son so much that he sent people in many places to find his son, and only recently found Yuecheng. However, Zhuang Wudao had no idea about his son because of his mother's death. My father is still resentful and unwilling to return. Shen Lin has no choice but to ask for help from me. The disciple does not dare to be independent, so he goes to the press office to find out. However, as a disciple, the nature of father and son, blood is thicker than water, can never be wiped out. Zhuang Although Wu Dao is very talented, if he joins our sect, even if there will be no disputes in the future, there will still be many problems. The relationship between our Lichen Sect and Taiping Tao is not harmonious. If there is a conflict in the future, we cannot deliberately make them father and son. Killing each other makes outsiders laugh. So I boldly ask the owner to make an exception and expel this boy from the house!"
Zhuang Wudao's eyes were about to burst, and he was about to speak after Li Chongzhen finished speaking. However, Chi Lingzi opened his eyes, and his gaze was so intense that he was unable to speak at all under the pressure.
At this time, Shen Lin also respectfully held a letter in his hand: "This is a blood letter written by my master himself. Please take a look at it."
Feng Xuan casually flicked his sleeves and held the letter in his hand. After a moment, his expression became solemn again, and he said hesitantly: "The words in this letter are blood red, and the words are sincere and sincere. Each stroke is overflowing with emotion. The feeling of licking a calf. Although the son hates the father, the father loves him deeply! However, the rules of my Lichen School are not easy to change. Zhuang Wudao has been in my Lichen School for eight years without any mistakes, so why should he be expelled without reason? —”
"How can you say it's without reason?"
Shen Lin looked sad: "My master still has something to say. If Master Feng Xuan and Elder Chi Ling can accomplish this, my master is willing to present two Jade Cauldron Pills as a personal gift from my master and has nothing to do with the sect. That's it. The price must be enough to stuff Li Chen’s mouth into your mouth. I hope you two can fulfill it!”
