The one thing Bie Liu regretted most in her life was believing the nonsense of a certain Son of Destiny, which resulted in her being sealed in a bronze mirror for one hundred thousand years, unable...
For the rest of the journey, without Yu Bie Liu's instructions, it was Dong Shao himself who dealt with the spirit beast.
Therefore, he did not provoke various spiritual beasts as recklessly as before, and the journey of the three of them naturally became much safer.
Faced with this obvious change, Rong Jian had not yet realized that something was wrong, and the past ten years had been lived in vain.
Well, after all this time, Dong Shao, the man who caught up with him and treated him as his brother, also had other intentions!
So, after his injuries were almost healed and he was able to take action, the first thing Rong Jian did was to have a good talk with his brother.
Considering that Dong Shao might not cooperate, Rong Jian...talked to him with his fists and feet.
However, no matter how much Rong Jian threatened, Dong Shao was determined not to reveal anything. He was stubborn and didn't say a word.
In desperation, Rong Jian had to give up.
He then tried to find out some clues from Dong Shao by asking him indirectly on the way back.
He followed and provoked the spirit beast, and the shadow of Yu Bie Liu was behind it.
It's Yubieliu again...
Rong Jian sighed and recalled that although he had experienced many battles some time ago, Fu was there to guide him after each battle and tell him where he was lacking.
Step by step, he became more familiar with the martial arts and more skilled in combat.
Before and after the contact, Yubieliu arranged for people to cause trouble, and Fu came to teach him. This is really a tacit cooperation!
In a trance, Rong Jian realized that ever since Yu Bie Liu appeared in his peaceful life, everything that happened afterwards seemed to be inseparable from her.
It was as if everything from beginning to end was designed by her, and he was just a chess piece in her hand, following the path she had planned, step by step.
As soon as this thought came to mind, all the details that he had previously ignored appeared in his mind.
It's really... inexplicably irritating!
Afterwards, Rong Jian was back to normal, and his attitude towards Dong Shao was no different from before.
Dong Shao ignored the questioning and continued to cook. As for what Rong Jian had noticed and what would happen between him and Yu Bie Liu, he wondered.
Well, it was a matter between an engaged couple, and he was an outsider, so he could just watch the fun... at most do some small things according to Yu Bie Liu's instructions.
The strength of the three is not weak, and if they work hard on their journey, their speed will naturally not be slow.
After more than a month, the three of them traveled through mountains and rivers and experienced hardships before finally reaching their final destination...the gate of Yantian Sect.
The gate is located halfway up the mountain. It is magnificent and golden in color. It is shocking at first glance.
There was a large open space at the foot of the mountain, where various large and small tents were located, and many young men of the same age were gathered in groups of two or three.
When the three of them saw this scene, they looked at each other, somewhat confused as to what the Yantian Sect was doing.
It was they who made the participating young people rush to Yantian Sect from all over.
But when the young men arrived, they were not even given a place to stay, and were left to stay outside the mountain gate?
At this moment, a handsome young man in blue clothes spoke up, "Three of you, would you like to come over and join us?"
Upon hearing what was said, Rong Jian and the other two looked over and saw that the young man in blue was surrounded by about ten people, all sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Dong Shao received Rong Jian's gaze, walked up with a smile, and bowed to the group of people, "Hello everyone!"
The boy in blue smiled back, "Hello... We're new here, are you confused?"
Opening his folding fan casually, the young man asked with a smile, "Why are all the young men taking the test waiting outside this door? Why don't the people from Yantian Sect arrange accommodation for them?"
Hearing this, Dong Shao nodded hurriedly and followed the others to sit down. "Excuse me, brother, why is this happening?"
The three of them had just arrived and it was true that they didn't understand the situation. Since someone was willing to explain, that was naturally good.
Therefore, the somewhat arrogant attitude of the young man in blue can be tolerated.
Rong Jian and Lu Qinggu followed and sat down, waiting for the boy's next words.
The young man in blue closed his folding fan and shook his head, saying, "No hurry, no hurry. Now that you're all seated, why don't you introduce yourself? My name is Zheng Zhong, Zheng as in solemnity, Zhong as in ancient and modern, China and abroad. I'm from Blue Moon City, and I arrived here twenty days ago!"
Zheng Zhong's tone in the first part is relatively normal, but in the second part of the sentence, the tone is emphasized.
Part of Yantian Sect's second test depends on how quickly everyone arrives here. Arriving quickly will naturally be a plus.
Zheng Zhong said it on the spot just to show off.
"Brother Zheng is so awesome! The three of us worked so hard to get here today!" Dong Shao looked at Zheng Zhong with some admiration, and after expressing his emotion, he introduced him to everyone.
"My name is Dong Shao. I come from a remote place. There's nothing much to say. The same goes for the other two, Rong Jian and Lu Qinggu."
Rong Jian and the other man also bowed to everyone to express their goodwill.
Perhaps Dong Shao's compliment was quite fitting, Zheng Zhong nodded and smiled warmly, "Anyone who can make it this far is a genius, Dong Shao brother, don't underestimate yourselves!"
"Hey, no, no! People like Brother Zheng are true geniuses. We just passed the test by luck!" Dong Shao lowered his posture and spoke without any loopholes.
Zheng Zhong's smile became even brighter and he was in a good mood.
The corner of Rong Jian's mouth twitched subtly for a moment, and then he spoke, "Could you tell me why all the participants who came here are stopping at the foot of the mountain? Is it because the Yantian Sect forbids entry?"
Rong Jian hurried to Yantian Sect as quickly as possible because he was anxious to see Yu Bieliu and clarify all his doubts. However, if he couldn't even enter the mountain gate, everything would be in vain.
"About this..." Zheng Zhong said, pointing to the magnificent gate halfway up the mountain. "Look over there, isn't there an old man at the gate?"
Everyone looked over when they heard this.
They were all high-level cultivators who had practiced bodybuilding and had good eyesight, so they could see clearly even though there was a large open space and half a mountain between them.
An old man from Dongshao dressed in linen was leaning against a big rock, snoring evenly.
"That old man, claiming to be the gatekeeper of Yantian Sect, said... no one can enter until the second test is over!"
"But we are here to take part in the disciple recruitment test. What Yantian Sect is doing... might be a bit too much!" Dong Shao interjected.
The young people here are all geniuses gathered from all over the place. They are used to being praised on a daily basis. Can they accept being rejected?
"Who says it's not true? We came all this way here, but we can't even get through the door." Zheng Zhong waved his fan over his thigh and sighed, "But there's nothing we can do. That old man is blocking our way!"
Zheng Zhong's words were full of emotion, but Rong Jian and the others understood the meaning behind them.
"...Why aren't you letting me in?" Dong Shao asked anxiously.
Zheng Zhong sighed deeply, "It's not like no one protested before, but those who argued in the past were all kicked down by that old man!"
