Just when they were about to take action, a loud voice suddenly came from the side. The voice was very rude and scolded: "What are you doing here?"
Everyone was stunned and turned around to see a young man in his twenties standing on the mountain road, frowning and looking at them with displeasure.
Sima Yang and others immediately noticed the bright red robe on this young man, with a small flame embroidered on it.
Then, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.
Because this means that this person is an official disciple of Chonghuo Palace.
Sima Yang immediately laughed and said, "Senior brother, we are all here to take part in the handyman disciple examination, and we are just having fun here!"
"Are you kidding?" The young man glanced at them indifferently, not intending to meddle in other people's business, but said coldly:
"The assessment for the handyman disciples is about to end in an hour. If you don't go and take part quickly, do you want to wait until next year?"
Upon hearing this, several people's expressions changed drastically.
Zhang Hao turned around and glared at Chen Fengfeng fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Little bastard, you are lucky this time, I will definitely destroy you next time!"
Sima Yang hurriedly thanked the young man. The young man was very arrogant and snorted coldly. Without even looking at them, he turned and left.
Several people hurriedly ran forward along the mountain road.
Not many people can be seen on the mountain road anymore, but people can be seen walking down from the top from time to time.
The people who came down from above were basically young men about the same age as them. They had some strength and were basically warriors.
They were all dejected. Sima Yang's expression changed and he said:
"I'm afraid they were kicked off. There are so many people kicked off. It seems that the Chonghuo Palace is very strict in recruiting handyman disciples!"
Some of the teenagers who had been kicked down saw them and gloated: "Haha, it's past the time to assess the disciples. I think you should wait until next year to come again."
Soon, they came to an extremely tall mountain gate, hundreds of meters high.
Behind the mountain gate is an endless palace complex that extends to the highest point of the entire mountain range, with no end in sight. It is very majestic and majestic.
Several teenagers who had only been to first-level cities as far away as possible were shocked speechless by this formation.
At this time, some young men were at the mountain gate, walking towards the palace one after another.
And a middle-aged man in his forties was standing outside the mountain gate.
Sima Yang hurriedly walked over, with a respectful smile on his face, and said: "Sir, we are here to participate in the assessment of the servant disciples of Chonghuo Palace."
The middle-aged man didn't even raise his face, but said coldly: "The time has passed, you can go back and forth from where you came!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed disappointment, especially Lu Yaru, whose eye circles were a little red.
She walked to the front and begged: "My lord, can you be merciful and give us a chance?"
"We have all traveled a long way to get here. I don't know if we can come next year. Please give us a chance!"
There was a pleading look on her face, so pitiful.
Chen Feng looked at it and sighed secretly in his heart.
He didn't know about others, but he knew about Lu Yaru's situation.
Lu Yaru was also born into a big family, but her mother was just a dowry maid of the eldest lady. Her father was drunk and had sex, and then he had her.
Her mother had always been ostracized by the eldest lady, and was often insulted and beaten for various reasons. When she was seven years old, she fell ill and passed away.
From then on, her life became even more difficult. She was ostracized by her family and her life was worse than that of a maid.
She had no money at all, so she had to sell the most precious possession her mother left to him, a jade pendant, to get enough money for travel expenses and horses.
If she waits until next year, she will never be able to come again.
However, her words obviously did not arouse any sympathy from the middle-aged man. He raised his eyes and gave Lu Yaru a cold look, and said impatiently:
"When the time comes, it comes. Get out of here. I don't want to say it a second time."
The voices were already a little fierce. Sima Yang and Zhang Hao, who had been very arrogant before, had submissive expressions on their faces and said respectfully: "We are leaving now, we are leaving now."
They are so weak that they just want to turn around and leave!
At this time, Zhang Hao raised his eyes and saw Chen Feng, and his weakness immediately turned into fierceness: "You are a pariah, if it weren't for you, how could we be late?"
Sima Yang also pointed at Chen Feng, with a cold expression on his face: "I will definitely kill you later!"
Lu Yaru felt despair in her heart and shouted: "Why? There is still a full hour before the time written on the announcement. Why do you say that the time is up now?"
As soon as he heard him shouting like this, Sima Yang suddenly screamed in secret and said quickly: "Yaru, get out! Don't say any more!"
However, it was already too late. The middle-aged man's face had become extremely gloomy. He stood up, looked down at Lu Yaru, with a sneer on his lips, and said:
"You mean to question my decision?"
Lu Yaru did not show any weakness, raised her head and said with a solemn face: "What I said is the truth."
"Haha, the truth?" The middle-aged man laughed and said disdainfully: "You guys, how dare you talk to me like this? There are no facts. What I say is the truth! What I say cannot be changed!"
He looked at Lu Yaru and said coldly: "Little girl Pianzi, what you just said has offended me, and now you can't leave even if you want to!"
With that said, he grabbed Lu Yaru!
Lu Yaru turned to Sima Yang and others for help. However, Sima Yang and Zhang Hao, who had always been very arrogant and looked very proud, now had a look of fear on their faces and hid aside, for fear that they would be implicated.
They were very arrogant when facing Chen Feng, but now they became extremely cowardly.
Lu Yaru's face showed a look of despair, she closed her eyes and waited for death.
However, after waiting for a long time, she found that the fist did not land on her face.
Lu Yaru opened her eyes in surprise, and then she saw a tall and upright figure standing in front of her.
She exclaimed: "Chen Feng?"
His eyes were filled with surprise, but also with unconcealable emotion and joy.
Chen Feng turned around and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything!"
"With me here, you can definitely enter the Chonghuo Palace."
Lu Yaru nodded instinctively, feeling that Chen Feng would definitely be able to do what he said.
