trouble……

Although he was very reluctant to bow to a junior who was many years younger than him, Jiang Deng had to pretend to do so in order to avoid being too conspicuous.

Originally, she thought she was already insincere enough, but she didn't expect that the other person would go even further than her...

This person is naturally Shen Hui, who is possessed by the god of laziness.

As soon as she noticed the leader appear, the female cultivator holding the knife quickly elbowed Shen Hui who was leaning on her. Shen Hui woke up from her half-sleep state, lowered her head, yawned, and pretended to salute.

Jiang Deng: “…”

This guy is so lazy! It really opened her eyes.

"Master, may I ask when the assessment for selecting participants in the Demon Ruins will begin?"

After the knife-wielding female cultivator saluted politely, she could not wait to look up at the leader and asked.

She is Gan Yidao, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall. Compared to Shen Hui, who is always slow in doing things beside her, she is impatient, acts in a hurry, and always pays attention to speed in everything she does.

"Shh-"

Chu Xiuping raised his slender white fingers and made a gesture of silence.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the leader was going to do.

However, the leader is too powerful, far beyond the power of them. Perhaps the thoughts of the strong are particularly difficult to guess?

No one dared to say anything more. They could only shut up and wait for the leader's next words.

However, Chu Xiuping did not speak.

He walked down from the podium, one hand clenched loosely, as if holding something. He walked past everyone present, scanning everyone's clothes from top to bottom.

What's going on?

A trace of suspicion flashed through Jiang Deng's heart. Why didn't Chu Xiuping talk about the business?

Could it be that... he was looking for the person who eavesdropped at his place last night?

Thinking of the incident where Qi Mei's clothes were torn by the puppet, Jiang Deng immediately understood that Chu Xiuping was probably looking for someone with the piece of cloth.

Realizing this, Jiang Deng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, the rag in Chu Xiuping's hand did not match her clothes, so he should not be able to find it on her head.

Jiang Deng glanced at Chu Xiuping out of the corner of his eye and saw that Chu Xiuping paused when he walked to Shen Hui.

"Palace Master Shen, I remember that you don't like to be clean. How come you just changed your clothes?"

"Ah," Shen Hui looked down at her neat, new white robe, "Yidao forced me to change it. He said that this trip to the Heavenly Demon Ruins was very important, and that people from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Dragon Roar Sect would also be there. As the Hall Master of the Puppet Sect, I had to pay attention to my appearance, otherwise I would bring shame to the Puppet Sect."

Hearing this, Chu Xiuping looked at Gan Yidao who was standing beside him, "Did you really force her to do this?"

Gan Yidao nodded immediately, "Yes, Master. Any questions?"

“…No, you did a great job.”

Chu Xiuping shook his head and continued to inspect the rest of the people.

When he passed Jiang Deng, he paused and looked up at Jiang Deng's face. "Who are you? Why do I feel that you look so strange to me?"

Jiang Deng was not at all flustered and said calmly, "Master, I am a guest official under the command of the Third Elder and a new member of the Puppet Cult yesterday."

"I see..."

Chu Xiuping glanced at Jiang Deng's green clothes, which looked neat and new, and had nothing to do with the black rag in his hand.

He could only suppress the doubts in his heart, walk around Jiang Deng, and go to the next person.

This man is a burly man. He is a guest official under the command of the third elder and a loyal supporter of Liu Yi. He has said a lot of bad things about Jiang Deng for Liu Yi before.

Chu Xiuping looked at the big man in front of him. His clothes were so dirty that they had turned black, and the hems were tattered, with more than one piece of cloth missing.

Could it be this person?

Chu Xiuping tried to place the rag in his hand on the missing corner of the big man's clothes, and it was almost the same.

Furthermore, this person is also an individual cultivator...

Realizing this, Chu Xiuping immediately glared at the big man with a fierce look in his eyes, "You bold little thief, how dare you sneak into the leader's residence last night and eavesdrop on my conversation!"

The big man looked confused. "Master? What are you talking about? I was in seclusion on the Third Elder's Spiritual Peak yesterday and didn't come out at all, let alone come to the Master's Mansion."

"Someone come!"

Chu Xiuping had no intention of listening to the big man's explanation. He raised his hand and said, "Push him down. After we finish our business, I will interrogate him personally."

"yes!"

Immediately, two guards at the Nascent Soul stage captured the big man and forcibly took him out of the hall.

"Master!"

"Master, I am innocent!"

…

Outside the hall, the big man continued to complain about his grievances.

Jiang Deng wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. It was almost her turn to be unlucky...

Only after capturing the person did Chu Xiuping begin to discuss business. "This time, this Sect Leader summoned you all here for the upcoming opening of the Heavenly Demon Ruins. The selection process is simple: you only need to be able to capture the demonic energy released by this Sect Leader and hold on for ten breaths."

As he spoke, Chu Xiuping flicked his sleeves, and hundreds of scarlet silk threads flew towards everyone!

Jiang Deng subconsciously grabbed the red silk thread in front of her.

Although it was a silk thread made of the purest demonic energy, Jiang Deng felt that it was just ordinary, like grabbing a piece of ordinary wool.

Huh? That's it?

Just when Jiang Deng thought he might be eliminated, he suddenly heard screams in his ears.

"ah!"

As soon as they touched the red thread, dozens of people were kicked out of the hall.
