Chapter 4: People in the Demon Sect!
Who is this?
When they saw Xia Qingqing, Xiao Jinse and the Saint had the same thought at the same time.
Of course.
Su Youwei and Xia Qingqing had the same idea too when they saw the Saint.
This strange woman doesn't look like a good woman!
Xia Qingqing subconsciously leaned on Su Youwei.
Their relationship should be harmonious, right? After all, they experienced so many things together before.
But Su Youwei didn't think so.
Except for her, everyone here who had ideas about Martial Sister Bai Lian were her enemies!
She moved aside in disgust and distanced herself from Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing, "…"
Shouldn't we be comrades in arms?
Su Youwei said coldly, "Martial Sister Bai Lian won't participate in this test."
"Ah?"
The Saint and Xia Qingqing were both stunned at the same time.
"How could it be?"
"Isn't she the leader of Duxian Sect's disciples? Why didn't she come to this test?"
Xiao Jinse, who was listening, immediately understood the third Martial Sister's intention.
She wants to take the opportunity to drive these two girls away, so that they won't pester Martial Sister Bai Lian at any time!
Good!
Xiao Jinse nodded secretly.
Although she and the third Martial Sister had never been friends, at this time of crisis, in the face of invading foreign enemies, they must abandon their prejudices and temporarily unite!
Xiao Jinse said, "The third younger Martial Sister is right. It was arranged by the sect Elder. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian really will not participate in this trial."
She was quite sure that she had not lied.
Even if the Saint found Martial Sister Bai Lian at that time, it was not her fault. She only said that Martial Sister Bai Lian wouldn’t participate in the trial, but didn't say that Martial Sister Bai Lian didn't come.
The Saint opened her mouth and was interrupted by Xiao Jinse before she could say anything.
"Saint, I know what you want to ask, but we don't know where Martial Sister Bai Lian is now."
The Saint and Xia Qingqing showed disappointment on their faces.
They had great expectations before coming to the trial.
The Saint even simulated what she should say in front of Bai Lian countless times in her mind.
That's it?
She was not even here. Her previous preparation was useless!
The Saint forced a smile.
After wishing Xiao Jinse an excellent performance, she said, "I'm busy. I'll leave first."
Xia Qingqing also left with a lonely face.
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei looked at each other.
Bah!
Bah!
The two separated immediately.
The first cooperation broke down quickly.
…
Bai Lian, who was far away on the Aurora Boat, saw this scene.
She was going to come down to say hello. After all, Martial Sister Bai Lian was an "Amiable" person.
But the task published by the system made her give up this plan.
[Task 1: Enthusiastically catch up with Shen Xiangling and Xia Qingqing (Reward: Flying Royal Talisman)]
[Task 2: Say to Shen Xiangling and Xia Qingqing, "Don't come to me again!" (Reward: Insight Mantra)]
[Task 3: Pretend that you don't see anything (Reward: Soft Skill +2)]
A Martial Sister is already difficult to deal with. How can these two get together?
After thinking for a while, Bai Lian chose Task 3 decisively.
[Task completed, task reward "Soft Skill +2"]
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, Elder Gaoyi asked me to tell you to go to the Council Hall."
At this time, Qing Luan came out of the cabin and called softly.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Bai Lian nodded.
The girl named Qing Luan wore a green and white Taoist robe and a pair of jade bracelets on her slender wrist, which seemed to be magic tools with Special Effects.
Her green hair was gathered up, and a blue hairpin shaped like a bird feather was inserted obliquely. Her appearance resembled the legendary Qing Luan Divine Bird.
However, Bai Lian knew that Qing Luan was not a descendant of the Qing Luan Divine Bird. She only pretended to dress up like Qing Luan because she simply liked Qing Luan.
Led by Qing Luan, Bai Lian came to the Council Hall.
Although she was named as a deacon, she didn't actually assume any responsibilities. This time, she came to the meeting for no reason.
The representative of the Ten Thousand Immortals League told the purpose of the joint trial and the principle of reward distribution on the main seat.
"Mount Yuheng has beautiful scenery and fertile soil, and many mortals live in it. But since three months ago, Mount Yuheng and its surrounding areas have received more than a dozen reports of collective disappearances…"
The trial was divided into two stages.
The first stage was to investigate the real reason for the collective disappearance. Since it was likely to involve people of the demon sects, all sects and factions let their powerful Elders lead the teams.
The second stage was a very traditional "Explore the secret realm" trial. The disciples who get a high score in the first stage of the trial would have the opportunity to enter the secret realm managed by the Ten Thousand Immortals League to improve their strength.
Bai Lian was not interested in the secret realm at all. She thought it was even more boring than rubbing the jade rabbit's head.
But others didn't think so.
The trial rewards were very rich. Achieving excellent results meant that the strength of the sect disciples had been greatly improved, and it could also enhance the sect's reputation, so as to attract more talents at the next Immortality Promotion Meeting.
The discussion lasted for nearly an hour.
After that, the identity card used to record the score was distributed to each disciple participating in the test.
The trial officially kicked off!
…
West side of Mount Yuheng.
Somewhere in an inconspicuous house.
A young master in a long black shirt sat alone under the tree and played chess by himself.
Winter was here.
In the chilly wind, the last yellow leaf on the dead tree fell on the chessboard.
"Childe!"
Suddenly, a little boy in gray rushed in from outside.
The young master frowned, dusted the yellow leaves away with his sleeve, and shouted, "Can't you see I'm playing chess? Don't be so rash!"
The young boy in grey looked sad, "Childe, the situation is urgent!"
"Urgent?"
"Yes, the Ten Thousand Immortals League's plan to enter Mount Yuheng may be detrimental to us. The hall master asked me to inform you that you should return quickly."
Detrimental to us?
The young master shook his head with a smile, "Ah, you people, what is so urgent? Let's not say whether they can find me first. Even if they do, do you think that I can't beat them all?"
The young boy in gray showed a puzzled face, "After all, they are the strongest disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals League."
"Hum!" The young master stood with his hand on his back. He looked at the dead tree in front of him, "Strongest? They are just weaklings with bloated egos! For example that Bai Lian, if she dares to stand in front of me, I will let her know how strong I am! I'm afraid she won't dare to come here!"
But you have only two fists, and they have so many people.
The little boy in gray wanted to persuade him with a few more words, but suddenly there was a sound of inquiry outside the door.
"Is anyone there?"
"Who is it?" The little boy in grey shouted.
"My name is Bai Lian."
"?"
The young master's body stiffened.
He looked around, and suddenly slapped the boy on the shoulder, "Quickly, close the door, if she asks, you say you don't know me."
The little boy in grey was going to say something, but the young master had slipped away.
"…"
