All the righteousness in the sky disappeared in a snap, and the frost on Zhang Yan's pretty face faded away, and she put on a provocative smile again: "I took note of it. You said this yourself, and my sister didn't force you."
Tang Baihu:???
Isn’t this called forcing me?
etc……
Are you doing all this just to force me to find you the elixir?
That means...
Everything just now was fake?!
He had a feeling that he had been deceived. This woman was too good at it. Could she be a Gemini? She would fall out faster than turning the page in a book.
Zhang Yan walked to the dressing table, picked up a bead, and raised it into the air to make sure Tang Baihu could see it.
"This is the sound pearl. It can record everything you and I just said, as well as everything you did after entering my room."
"I'll let you go for now. When I have nothing to do in the future, I will go and check it out."
"If I find out that you have done something wrong, you know the consequences!"
Shall I wipe it?
Sound Yuanzhu?
Isn't this thing just a surveillance device?
Tang Baihu's face turned green. He tried hard to remember if he had done anything out of the ordinary since he came in just now.
Hmm...it seems not.
Fortunately, my life was saved.
wrong!
It seemed like I smelled something...
Am I stupid?
No way?!
Could it be that my lifelong reputation will be ruined by my little bellyband?
He took a deep breath: "Give me that thing, and I will give you two Yuan Ju Dan!"
Seeing his expression, Zhang Yan immediately understood that there was something going on. She stuffed the Sheng Yuan Pearl into her bathrobe on her chest and raised her finger at him: "If you have the ability... just come and get it!"
"What...what are you doing? I'm warning you, don't go too far!"
"Leave a little bit of a sec in your life, I really want to see you in the future!"
"What, what, my name is Zhang Yan, I have a given name, do you remember it?!"
This was indeed the first time Tang Baihu heard her name, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What are you talking about?"
"Yan!"
He stuck his hand behind his back, tilted his head and asked louder: "What are you talking about?"
"Are you deaf?!" the woman said angrily, "Zhang Yan!"
"What Yan?"
"Pfft!"
Chen Peiyao couldn't hold back her laughter for a moment: "Hahaha, the chirping sister Zhang is so cute!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan finally reacted and was so angry that she almost died on the spot.
"Tang...Bai...Tiger!"
Before she even lifted the sword, Tang Baihu had already lifted Chen Peiyao up again: "What are you doing? Why are you calling me so loud? I'm not deaf!"
"What if outsiders hear this and come in to see this scene, and I, a young man in my prime, are misunderstood?"
"Besides, I promised you two Yuan Ju Dan, what's wrong with you moaning a few times? Are you at a disadvantage?!"
He squinted his eyes, showing a harmless look.
"Chen Peiyao, come here and die!"
Zhang Yan changed the subject and scolded the little lolita in front of her. How does this little girl know how to protect outsiders?
Why, as soon as your brother Xiaohu comes, you don’t want your sister Zhang?
Sister Zhang was so kind to you, so you forgot all about it?
The little girl was already confused by the back and forth between the two, and it took her a long time to realize that Zhang Yan had turned the conversation towards her.
Why did you bring me along when you were quarreling?
Without saying anything, Tang Baihu, who held her high, subconsciously held her tighter. This feeling...
Bah! This little girl is my human shield. If she leaves, my life may not be saved!
Now that you have finished your death, you cannot hand it over, even if you are beaten to death, you cannot hand it over!
Zhang Yan said angrily: "We still have to go out, what do you mean by holding on to her?!"
She glared at Tang Baihu fiercely.
Tang Baihu was hesitant and left the little girl somewhere.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Yan stamped her foot, which frightened him and lifted him up again. As a result, he made the other party giggle, as if he was trying to win the game.
"Oh, brother!"
"You are still far behind in fighting with my sister!"
"Humph, childish!"
Tang Baihu was not willing to lag behind.
Chen Peiyao was caught in the middle, with several question marks popping up on her face. She couldn't understand what her sister Zhang and brother Xiaohu were doing.
"Hehe, hehe..."
She laughed inexplicably, her laughter was so silly that it stopped the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two of them.
The two of them looked at Chen Peiyao in unison, speechless for a moment.
Inner courtyard, meeting hall.
Under the silvery moonlight, Dai Jianbai was sitting on the main seat holding a piece of paper.
Standing in front of him were dozens of young talents. These people were divided into two teams. One team had many people, while the other team only had four.
"Needless to mention you, the quota for the 'Tiangong Island' is the new disciples of the inner courtyard, Qin Shu, Gu Lingshuang, Song Yuxin, and Du Xiaotao."
While talking, Dai Jianbai looked at the four people.
The four of them nodded in unison, looking excited.
The secret realm of Tiangong Island is the first opportunity after entering the inner courtyard. It is only open once a year, with ten places available at a time.
The amount of righteousness stored inside is almost a hundred times comparable to that of the entire outer courtyard.
It is no exaggeration to say that one day of training inside is equivalent to a month of training in the outer courtyard.
This is just the most basic, not to mention that there are all kinds of cultivation treasures in it. Basically, everyone can find the one that suits them best.
Dai Jianbai turned his eyes to another group of people. These dozen people were all the newly promoted Twenty-Four Evil Thieves in the inner courtyard.
"The fifth spot is Lei Zizhen!"
"..."
"Ninth place, Qi Kerun!"
Qi Kerun is an extremely strong man, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He holds a Flame Moon Chongyun Gun and has an impressive momentum.
Although he had already expected it in his heart, when he heard his name, he couldn't help but light up and his expression lit up.
Very good, it’s not a waste of time and effort to come here and listen to the dean’s nonsense, there are still benefits!
Now that I have made up my mind, there is only one trivial matter left...
The head on Tang Baihu’s neck!
Dai Jianbai put the paper away: "I already have a candidate for the tenth spot, so I won't announce it here yet."
"kindness?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
You know, in previous years, the top ten places were announced openly and openly, but now four of them have been taken away by the new disciples of the inner courtyard. After all, this is the rule, so they tolerate it.
But one of the remaining six has been confirmed?
"who?"
More than one person in the crowd spoke up, but Dai Jianbai ignored it and looked at Ye Qi.
This is a man with an extremely cold face, green frost on his temples, and a precious jade around his waist.
He was originally ranked after Qi Kerun. Logically speaking, the tenth spot should be his.
Just when Dai Jianbai was about to give compensation, an old voice rang out at an inappropriate time: "There are only nine places in the inner courtyard this year, and one is given to the outer courtyard."
Hearing this, everyone turned around and followed the sound, and saw an old man wearing a bamboo hat leaning against the old uncle at the entrance of the hall.
"He is... the deputy dean?"
"Mr. Li?"
But even Mr. Li's personal visit could not stop the crowd from becoming angry. Some people stared angrily: "Is there no one in the inner courtyard? Who of us can't compare to the disciples in the outer courtyard?! The quota of 'Tiangong Island' is given to the outer courtyard. It's a waste of resources."
Said, this is not in line with the rules of Xingyuan Academy for thousands of years!"
Mr. Li crossed his legs and said calmly: "Whether it is 'Tiangong Island', the academy, or the rules of this entire world, resources have always given priority to the strong. And in the eyes of the strong, there is no place for the weak."
This unceremonious sentence instantly ignited the anger of everyone present. Elder Li's words obviously meant that except for the nine people who were selected, the others present were not as good as a disciple from the outer courtyard.
Ye Qi took a step forward, his voice obviously suppressing the anger in his heart: "Old Li, I have something that I don't understand. Please help me answer my questions. I want to know who took away my place."
"Tang Baihu." Mr. Li blurted out without thinking.
"Also, as I said just now, resources always belong to the strong."
"One thing you have to understand is that this spot does not belong to you in the first place!"
