However, this idea was decisively rejected by Zhuang Wudao. He remembered the assassination that happened on the riverside dock not long ago.
This city of Soochow might soon become a place of right and wrong, repeating the story of six years ago. How could I jump in if I couldn't hide in time?
The second-class worshipers of the Beitang family have a high status, and they can receive pills every year that are not inferior to those of the disciples of the major sects. However, if the Beitang family encounters a crisis and needs to work hard, what should we do?
Zhuang Wudao is a man who climbed up from the mud and has been living in Yuecheng for more than ten years. He knows that pie is never born in this world, and efforts are always equal to rewards. He also knows the ruthlessness of the Beitang family.
Means, if the situation is dangerous and it is necessary to commit suicide, then the Beitang family will never hesitate.
On the contrary, it is the Lichen Sect. The path to heaven is indeed dangerous. However, it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The Lichen Sect is a major sect in the world. It has existed for more than ten thousand years and its power is unshakable. It is like an iron curtain.
It firmly covers the southeastern land and has a transcendent status. No one in the Tianyi Kingdom dares to mess with it. In every aspect, it is comparable to the Beitang family. You only need to get started and you can practice with peace of mind.
However, how should I reply to Beitang Cangjue's solicitation?
Zhuang Wudao was preparing words to refuse, but Beitang Wan'er, who was not far away from him, had already stood up, with complicated eyes, and shook his head slightly towards Beitang Cang Jue: "Uncle, there is no need for this! He and I have made an agreement before.
We made a bet. Now that we've lost, we can't just prevaricate like this."
Beitang Cang Jue raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, and then smiled: "Wan'er, you have had your own ideas since you were a child, so I just follow you! I think he has lofty ambitions and is not a thing in the pond. Little Bei
I'm afraid I won't be in his eyes either."
Although he was smiling, Zhuang Wudao couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He could hear the dissatisfaction and murderous intention hidden in the words of the second strongest man in Yue City.
She was even more surprised by Beitang Wan'er's words. Did this person really intend to fulfill his promise? Use the power of the Beitang family to send him to the Lichen Sect at all costs?
If this woman could not fall out on the spot today and let the three of them leave as promised, she would be considered a very good character.
Beitang Wan'er was completely unaware of it. When she looked at Zhuang Wudao again, her expression had returned to normal: "Senior Brother Zhuang, the Lichen Sect is the largest sect in the world. Although you and I have made a bet, the number of inner disciples is still limited.
It is really beyond the control of my Beitang family. How about we discuss it? Junior sister, I can’t do anything, but I don’t want to be a renegade person. I can’t give you that spot, but I am willing to give you a chance, senior brother!”
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
Zhuang Wudao asked in surprise, secretly clenching his fists, thinking that there really is no such good thing in this world. This woman said that she could give him a chance, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing. But let's listen.
, it doesn’t matter either.
※※※※
The boatman on the ferry had already jumped into the water and escaped, and there was no one at the controls. At this time, it was even more riddled with holes and in tatters. The bottom of the boat was even punctured by Beitang Wan'er's armor-piercing sharp fingers, and there was a gurgling sound underneath.
After entering the water, I saw that the ship was not far from sinking.
However, there was Beitang Cangjue, a monk in the late stage of Qi training, who used his spiritual power to control the water flow and made the ferry dock steadily on the north bank.
There were already several cars with people from the Beitang family waiting here. Ma Yuan, Lin Han and others were guarded as soon as they got off the boat. However, Zhuang Wudao was invited alone and got into Beitang Qin's luxurious carriage.
There were only three people in the car. Apart from Beitang Wan'er, there were only Beitang Qin and Beitang Cangjue. The latter two did not speak. Only Beitang Wan'er stared at Zhuang Wudao up and down with interest.
It was as if they were meeting each other for the first time, and they seemed to be completely unfazed by their previous defeats.
Zhuang Wudao was quite surprised. He had thought that Beitang Wan'er was arrogant and arrogant, and would never accept defeat, especially at the hands of a little person like him.
However, the little princess of the Beitang family did not show much frustration or shame at this time. Instead, she smiled gracefully and gracefully. She was completely different from the overbearing and domineering female martial artist she had been on the ship.
, temperament is ever-changing, and temperament is also unpredictable.
The carriage moved slowly, heading in the direction of Lichen Academy. Beitang Wan'er finally got to the point: "The so-called opportunities are naturally the three places in Lichen Academy. Senior Brother Zhuang didn't realize it
Are you excited? If you can take the right path to get started, why do you need to take risks and embark on the dangerous and unpredictable path of karma and heaven?"
Zhuang Wudao was slightly shaken. He intended to follow the path of Taoism and become a member of the Lichen Sect, but how did Beitang Wan'er know about it?
He also suddenly realized that what happened today was definitely not a coincidence. Even if they really met by chance on a ferry in the river, Beitang Wan'er's request for advice and martial arts competition was mostly intentional. It was probably that he had deliberately tested his cultivation strength.
, after meeting today, I just happened to do it.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Wudao's face suddenly turned livid and extremely ugly: "Miss Beitang is joking, although I, Zhuang Wudao, want to join the Lichen Sect. However, I am just a street gangster, how can I dare to fight with the powerful people in the city?
Are you arguing? I don’t dare to call you my senior brother. You can just call me by my name.”
"Senior Brother Wudao, is he angry?"
When Beitang Wan'er heard this, she giggled and her flowers trembled: "Senior brother, with your background and a small Jianyi Hall, you are naturally not qualified to compete for the quota. But if you add the support of my Beitang family,
, but it may not be impossible. Junior sister, I cannot let you join the Lichen Sect directly, but you can help your senior brother during the sect competition!"
Zhuang Wudao was secretly annoyed, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It took him a while to react, and then his first action was to tilt his head towards Beitang Cang Jue beside him.
Beitang Cang Jue noticed his gaze, and the corner of his lips suddenly curved with a hint of teasing, and said categorically: "Wan'er is the beloved daughter of the head of the family, and is the next generation head of the Beitang family selected by the elders. Her words are mine, Beitang's."
What the Tang family means!"
Zhuang Wudao was horrified and stared at Beitang Wan'er intently. He never thought that Beitang Wan'er, besides being the legitimate daughter of the head of the Sibeitang family, had such an amazing identity!
It is said that the head of the Beitang family has four sons and three daughters, all of whom are extremely outstanding in ability, temperament, and cultivation. But why is it that Beitang Wan'er is the only one who has surpassed her brothers and become the heir to the Beitang family? This woman must have something.
What an extraordinary thing!
"Senior brother, do you believe this?" Beitang Wan'er smiled with narrowed eyes: "I wonder what your senior brother thinks?"
Zhuang Wudao was silent, hesitating and pondering for a long time, until Beitang Qin showed a look of impatience, and then he said lightly: "I heard that the Lichen Sect's main mountain will have inspection envoys coming to Yuecheng to supervise the competition in the near future.
!”
He has always believed that there is no free lunch in the world. Beitang Wan'er's previous temptation and subsequent enthusiasm made people suspicious.
"There is such a thing!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Beitang Wan'er's words: "Senior brother, it's better not to have too many expectations. Do you know who your opponent will be after three months?"
Without waiting for Zhuang Wudao to reply, Beitang Wan'er spoke up: "It's the Guyue family in Dongcheng, the Xia family in Baibingtang, the Linhe Kong family, the garrison in Yue City, and the garrison eunuch in Yue Town - not long after, in the entire Yue City,
Almost all prestigious families will have their children participating!"
"How could this be?"
Zhuang Wudao was speechless for a moment and was shocked. He didn't understand how the three inner disciples of Lichen Academy could attract so many powerful and powerful families to participate? He didn't even understand what Beitang Wan'er said to him.
What is the purpose?
He is very familiar with the Gu Yue Family. Six years ago, the Gu Yue Family became the first family in the city. Although their strength was greatly damaged after the chaos six years ago, they still have a profound foundation. Recently, they have begun to regain their momentum.
Within his clan, there are already twenty-four monks in the Qi-training realm, almost as many as when the Gu Yue family was in its heyday.
The Xia family of Baibingtang is also famous. They run Baibingtang, and their weapons are the best in the southeast. They monopolize nearly 40% of the military armor business in Soochow. The Lin and Kong families dominate the largest Yunnan business outside the city.
In Yuanshi Mine Forest and Cave, the strength of the family should not be underestimated, and there are more than fifteen Qi-training monks.
However, the Lichen Sect is not the only sect in the southeastern part of Tianyi World. As far as he knows, there are two monk sects near the Soochow Kingdom. The prestige of one of them, the Yishan Sect, is said to be only inferior to that of the Lichen Sect.
It’s just a piece of cake.
It is not just the Lichen Sect that wants to join the sect and practice. It is really puzzling. Why do the dignitaries of the aristocratic families in Yue City gather alone in the Licheng Academy to compete for these three places?
But regardless of whether it was true or not, knowing that these powerful aristocratic families were participating, he was completely in despair about the academy competition in three months. As long as he had a little sense, he knew that he should avoid this matter.
Beitang Wan'er's eyes were solemn as she continued to explain: "In previous years, although Li Chen Sect was the largest sect in the world, my Beitang family might not take it seriously. It doesn't matter which sect I, Beitang Wan'er, join.
, it’s just that this year’s situation is extraordinarily different. There is news that in the Lichen Sect, this year there will be 134 foundation-building monks and four golden elixir immortals who will open their doors to choose disciples at the same time. And most of them will be from
Select the best among the inner disciples of this year. The news has not spread yet, but within ten days at most, the Gu Yuexia family will definitely fight for it with all their strength!"
Zhuang Wudao was relieved when he heard this. If this is the case, it is not surprising. Once he can enter the eyes of the Jindan monk and become his disciple, he can at least preserve the prosperity of the family for a hundred years. It is those who are in the Foundation Establishment realm under the Jindan monk.
The later monks also have strong intimidation power. With the guidance of famous teachers, their future is even brighter.
Zhuang Wudao was secretly angry and said angrily: "Miss, does she want me to participate in this year's competition for the number of inner disciples?"
This innocent-looking girl really has bad intentions!
