Li Shaobai whispered to Bai Wei: "Elder Bai, the competition is over. You can call over all the disciples who have reached the top thirty-two. I will soon announce the ten people who can be promoted to the inner sect this time."
Bai Wei nodded and said, "I know." Then he turned around and loudly said: "Listen, everyone, please come quickly and gather the disciples who have reached the top 32. Li Shaobai will soon announce who of you can advance to the inner circle."
Zong."
"Is it finally going to be announced?" There was excitement around him, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shaobai, full of expectations.
Zhan Chen followed the other promotion candidates to stand in front of Li Shaobai.
Li Shaobai glanced at them, and finally rested his eyes on Zhan Chen. He smiled slightly, took out a list, and said: "Junior brothers and sisters, you have worked hard in the competition. I, my senior brother, watched your competition just now.
I feel that many of you are very good. If you work hard, you will definitely become ours in the future.
The pillars of the Humanity Sect. It is very difficult for me to decide who to choose and who to eliminate. However, as a messenger, I have to make a choice after all. I can only make a choice based on your performance in this game and your contribution to the sect.
We will make a total assessment of the size. Now I will announce the list of people who can be promoted to the inner sect, starting with the first place, Wang Tong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion below.
"Why is Wang Tong in second place? Zhan Chen should be in first place. In the past, only the first place in the challenge competition can advance smoothly."
"Why are you in a hurry? There are ten people selected for this competition. Zhan Chen must be behind. Please listen patiently."
…
"The second person to advance is Yao Bi." Li Shaobai continued.
Zhan Chen's face darkened, as if he realized something. The discussion below became more noisy, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhan Chen, who won the first place.
Next, Li Shaobai continued to announce, but until the last person's name was read out, Zhan Chen was not involved. Zhan Chen maintained restraint on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely angry and wanted to step forward and tear Li Shaobai's face to pieces, but
He understood the consequences and understood that doing so would not help at all, so he decided to wait and see what would happen.
Sure enough, after Li Shaobai finished reading, Bai Wei stood up first and asked, "Li Shaobai, I don't understand something." Li Shaobai pretended to be confused and asked, "Excuse me, Elder Bai, do you understand something?"
"I didn't hear Zhan Chen's name in the list you read out. You must know that he is the champion of this challenge. According to previous conventions, he should be considered first."
"Yes, yes, the challenge should be the fairest!" Criticisms from people around him also came one after another.
Li Shaobai calmly replied: "Elder Bai, I know what you are thinking, but I am doing this completely in accordance with the selection conditions set by the sect."
"I would like to hear the details." Bai Wei said.
"Okay, I will tell you about my standards today. As we all know, there are two major conditions for entering our inner sect. One is to have sufficient strength. This is why we hold the qualification challenge. The other is to be selected
Disciples who join the Inner Sect must make sufficient contributions to the sect. In my opinion, this second point is the most critical. The stronger a person with ulterior motives, the more terrifying he is."
Having said this, he shook the jade slip in his hand, and then continued: "What I have in my hand is a summary of the experience and merit points of all the disciples who participated in today's competition. After looking at it, I discovered an astonishing fact, that is, the
Zhan Chen, the champion of this qualification challenge, ranks last in terms of experience merit points. Everyone, just imagine, how can I let such a person enter the inner sect? If I really do this, it will be a serious challenge to this qualification challenge.
Sai’s greatest defilement!”
What Li Shaobai said seemed to be righteous. Although everyone still had objections, the discussion became quieter. After all, what Li Shaobai said seemed to make sense.
Hearing his words, Zhan Chen was already filled with righteous indignation. Naturally, his experience and merit points could not be compared with other disciples, because he had just joined the Humanity Sect not long ago, and the people participating in the competition had been joining the outer sect longer than him.
If there are more merit points, the accumulated merit points will naturally be much more than his own, and Li Shaobai clings to this point, obviously wanting to avenge his private revenge.
At this moment, Li Shaobai suddenly looked at Zhan Chen and asked deliberately: "Zhan Chen, do you have any objection to my punishment?"
Zhan Chen didn't want to answer him, he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
"Okay, since there are no objections, the list of candidates for promotion to the inner sect has been finalized. Zhan Chen, don't be discouraged. You are very young and have a long way to go. As long as you work hard and contribute more to the sect, the next term will be
We will consider you first for the challenge." Li Shaobai did not forget to give a hypocritical comfort at the end, but the pride on his face had already exposed his thoughts.
After that, Li Shaobai said a few more words, followed by Bai Wei, but Zhan Chen couldn't listen to a word of it.
After the game, Lin Suya dared to come to Zhan Chen, stared at him worriedly, and asked: "Zhan Chen, are you okay?"
Only then did Zhan Chen come back to his senses, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine. I've already expected the ending."
"But it's rare for you to be so desperate. I can't let this damn Li Shaobai go!"
Zhan Chen pinched Lin Suya's jade palm, patted the back of her hand, and said: "Don't be impulsive, our strength is far inferior to him. To take revenge now is tantamount to striking an egg with an egg against a stone. Let him live happily for a few days first, and we will settle the score later!"
"
"Well, I believe you can do it. Let's go back. I'll cook today and make you some side dishes." The two of them left the secret realm hand in hand.
The turmoil of the competition did not destroy Zhan Chen's fighting spirit. He quickly recovered and devoted himself to training with full energy. However, the matter did not really end. Within a few days, he was approached by a stranger.
The door.
Zhan Chen stared at the stranger and asked, "Junior brother, what do you want from me?"
The man saluted and said, "Senior brother, it's not that I'm looking for you, but Elder Bai wants to see you for something."
"Elder Bai, that Elder Bai?"
"They are the deacons and elders of our sect."
"I see, then it's not too late, let's leave now."
"OK!"
The two of them hurried on the road, one behind the other, and arrived at a quiet attic in the sect. No one was guarding the door. Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment, but followed the junior brother in. When he opened the door, he saw Bai Wei sitting inside.
.
Zhan Chen did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Disciple, please bow to Elder Bai."
Bai Wei nodded and signaled the disciple who was leading the way to go out. After a while, only Bai Wei and Zhan Chen were left in the room.
Bai Wei smiled at Zhan Chen and said, "Zhan Chen, come here and sit next to me."
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then he did as he was told. After sitting down, he asked, "Elder Bai, what do you want from me?"
