Chapter 5
Passing through the green light symbol array, the space was transferred in the blink of an eye.
The ground was filled with participants who had come to sign up for the trial. At a glance, they were almost all between eighteen and thirty years old. In the air, several disciples dressed in green were floating on swords, announcing all the rules of the trial.
"Well, the final trial of this year is about to begin..."
"Excuse me, is your last name Lin? Oh, you don't have a last name. That's fine."
"This trial..."
"Excuse me, is your last name Lin? Oh, no."
"...Only those who pass the above trials can join the Guiyuan Sect..."
"Excuse me, can you lend it to me again?"
Jiang Wan had a cold face as he walked from east to west, from north to south, like the only small fish swimming upstream among a group of fish swimming downstream, jumping around in the crowd.
"That's strange, where are the people?"
Jiang Wan was puzzled.
In the solemn main hall, several elders of Guiyuan Sect who had not yet entered seclusion gathered around to watch the scene in the water mirror.
Jiang Wan, who was like a fish struggling in the crowd, was very conspicuous and eye-catching.
"That girl down there is running around, her behavior is very suspicious..." The one who spoke was Elder Xiong Yuankui, who was also the elder in charge of the trial.
His voice was very deep and rough, and he looked several times stronger than the person next to him. He had a sturdy build, a cross-shaped scar on his left eye, and a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes and eyebrows.
"So, who is this girl? Can anyone tell where she comes from?" Xiong Yuankui scratched his head.
Jiang Wan attracted everyone's attention since she entered the teleportation array, especially when she was jumping around in the crowd, as if she was looking for something.
Unfortunately, no one in the hall could tell her origins from her.
Xiong Yuankui couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. Judging from her clothes, she doesn't look like a mortal from Beiyan Continent. She has some Demon Realm style, but..."
"That's impossible. Even if the Demon Realm wanted to send someone in, they wouldn't send someone like..." The female cultivator paused, unable to find the right words after a few breaths of silence. "Such a conspicuous act... Is she afraid others won't notice her..."
"You all know about the big moves in the Demon Realm over the past three months. According to the news, there might be demon cultivators interfering in our disciple-recruiting trial this time. Elder Xiong, you must be careful to distinguish them this time. Don't let the scoundrels sneak in by taking advantage of the situation." The head of the sect stroked his long beard.
"Don't worry! No matter what kind of demon cultivators or ghosts they are, none of them can escape my innate magical powers! Just wait and see, Master!" Elder Xiong patted his chest roughly to make the promise.
"Don't call me uncle!"
"Okay, Master."
Sect Leader: “…”
"But should we inform our ancestor about this trial of the demon cultivators?" Fu Bingqiao changed the subject and talked about something else.
Peng Luan: "The ancestor has always disliked interacting with others. The last time I took the entrance trial, it was because I had a promising young talent and wanted the ancestor to take a look, so I invited the ancestor to watch. This time's trial... I don't think the ancestor would come if he had nothing else to do."
Speaking of which, the ancestor's whereabouts have always been uncertain, coming and going without a trace. Even the head of the sect can't find the ancestor's whereabouts on weekdays.
The ancestor doesn't like to show up. Even if the ancestor stands in front of you, no one can see him as long as he doesn't want to. No one knows whether he is in the door today.
"No need for that. The ancestor has stated from the beginning that he will not accept any disciples and never interferes in the sect's internal affairs. There is no need to bother the ancestor with such a trivial matter as accepting a disciple for this trial. We can handle it ourselves."
"yes--"
......
No, no, and still no!
Jiang Wan has asked almost all the people who participated in the trial. At first, she only looked at the face, but now all men have been harassed by her.
Very good, now everyone around her suspects that she has a mental problem, and all people within a three-meter radius have been cleared out.
Still no.
"Did we come to the wrong place? Isn't the male lead officially admitted this time?"
Jiang Wan pressed his knuckles angrily.
She admitted that she was very anxious now. She had to find the 'nephew' before the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight and ruin their first meeting.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to use the same "excuse" as the heroine to get close to her "nephew".
Although doing this is a bit unfair to the heroine, I'm sorry, 'nephew', she is such a cold-blooded and ruthless person who only cares about her own life.
You can talk about love at any time, but it would be impolite to talk about it with her life.
For her own safety, nephew, you should stay single.
Being single keeps you safe.
How did the heroine fall in love with the hero at first sight? I remember it was like a hero saving a beautiful girl?
Jiang Wan thought about the necessary conditions to become a hero and save the beauty.
First, there must be a crisis, which either comes from cannon fodder, that is, people, or from the environment.
After looking around, no one spoke except the people who were flying swords.
Very good, the cannon fodder item can be crossed out.
That means the crisis comes from the external environment.
Jiang Wan glanced around and prepared to move to a higher place to observe more carefully. She didn't listen to what the disciples who she regarded as background noise said.
Just as the crowded crowd dispersed, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up at the sight of someone standing alone, a look of surprise instantly flooding her face. Then, like a madman, she ran forward in joy.
It is like a candlelight in the dark night, the only color in a black and white photo, which can be locked on at a glance, so bright, dazzling and unique.
Under the shade of the tree, a young man in light pink clothes was leaning against the tree trunk, playing with a folding fan.
The light filtering through the shadows of the leaves revealed the young man's smooth, fair face, with a gentle look between his brows.
From a distance, it looks elegant and leisurely.
Found it!
Jiang Wan ran against the flow of people, happily ran to the other person, and grabbed the other person's wrist while he was spinning the fan, "You are Lin, Lin..."
What's Lin?
The same confusion appeared on their faces at the same time.
The young man was stunned when his wrist was suddenly grabbed and forced to touch someone's skin closely. His upturned peach blossom eyes showed confusion, as if he was instantly pulled out of a painting and into a noisy downtown, feeling dazed and surprised.
The young man was stunned.
He looked up and down at the person who had suddenly appeared before him and was staring at him intently. The surprise in the young man's eyes disappeared in an instant, and when he looked up again, his eyes were as gentle as jade.
His gentle eyes lightly swept over the white fingers that were holding his wrist tightly, and he observed calmly.
She was a strange person; this was his first impression of the girl in front of him.
After Jiang Wan was silent for a long time, he finally answered, saying softly, "Excuse me, my name is Lin Xubai, may I know you, young lady?"
"Lin, Xu, Bai, yes, Lin Xu Bai! I am Jiang Wan, I..."
The young man was tall, his words were elegant, humble and gentle, his eyes slightly curved with a smile swayed in the scattered shadows of the trees and the moon, the glittering light was golden.
So high.
As they got closer, Jiang Wan noticed that the young man was a head taller than her, so she had to look up when she spoke.
Her thoughts suddenly drifted away, and Jiang Wan's heart was pounding after running wildly. When she learned the young man's name, she suddenly didn't know what to say to him. She became stiff and didn't know where to put her hands.
It's not a good idea to come straight out and say that you are the other person's long-lost relative.
This sounds like a telecom scam...
"Um?"
The gentle voice completely hits Jiang Wan's liking.
"Don't worry, I'm right here. Take your time, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Wan felt much more at ease after hearing the gentle voice.
"I'm Jiang Wan, and I've been entrusted with this—" Jiang Wan was interrupted by someone behind him just as he was about to take the thing out.
"You over there! It is forbidden to tease disciples at will in Guiyuan Sect! Take your hands off me!" As soon as Xiong Yuankui landed, he saw this problematic girl teasing his ancestor in public. He was so angry that he immediately rushed over with a roar.
"I'm talking to you! If you don't let go, you'll lose this hand and this trial. Get out of here!"
He dares to tease people so blatantly in the territory of Guiyuan Sect. He must be from Tianyu Palace!
"Huh? I'll let go just because you tell me to? Who are you?" Jiang Wan not only didn't let go of her hand, but she moved even closer to Lin Xubai, and her fingers gripping him even tighter.
She didn't notice that the gentle smile on Lin Xubai's lips froze for a moment as his wrist was grabbed and he couldn't move.
"I am Xiong Yuankui, who is in charge of the entrance trial! Get your claws off me now! Otherwise, I will declare you a failure in the trial and get you out of Guiyuan Sect!" Xiong Yuankui's face turned from blue to black.
"Xiong?" Jiang Wan looked at the elder who came with ill intentions, and his eyes flashed when he thought of the news he heard about this elder Xiong when he entered Tianyuan City. "Oh, it's Elder Xiong. Be careful with your words. I know a lot of your secrets that you keep hidden from others. Be careful or I will spread your shameful little secrets!"
Jiang Wan acted threateningly and viciously.
As the saying goes, when someone tries to catch you by the tail, you should catch him by the tail before he does.
"This girl dares to threaten Uncle Xiong like this before she even gets married. She's really amazing." The disciple who was nearby looked at Jiang Wan with admiration and sighed.
The disciples nearby were horrified when they heard this, and quickly covered the mouths of the people around them: "Shh!" Don't worry about your life!
On the contrary, Tiangang, a disciple who had not yet entered the sect, actually threatened the elders of the inner sect in this way.
They had seen many threatening things, but this was the first time they had seen someone threatening people without considering the situation.
Lin Xubai on the side couldn't help laughing.
"How dare you talk nonsense here! Get out of my way!"
Xiong Yuankui laughed in anger. His already ferocious scarred eyes looked even more sinister. How could he not know that he had some shameful little secret?
How dare you throw dirty water on him in front of the ancestor? And even threaten him in front of him?
Lin Xubai was curious. He glanced between the two of them and raised his eyebrows: "Secret?"
Jiang Wan: "Yeah, the kind that's too shameful to be seen."
"Bullshit! I don't have any shameful little secrets!" Xiong Yuankui's back shuddered when he saw his ancestor's meaningful eyes. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have hugged his ancestor's legs and cried out in injustice.
When Xiong Yuankui saw Jiang Wan spreading rumors in front of him, he subconsciously roared back. His scarred eyes and vicious face became ferocious again after the roar. It was over, it was over. He didn't mean to roar at the ancestor.
"Hmm? What little secret?" Lin Xubai's gentle smile deepened a little, and he glanced at Xiong Yuankui nonchalantly. This was a rare moment that piqued his curiosity.
Xiong Yuankui's back shuddered when he saw the meaningful look in his ancestor's eyes. He understood that the ancestor was intentionally concealing his identity, but he really didn't have any secrets that couldn't be revealed to others, ancestor!
Seeing Elder Xiong's righteous look, Jiang Wan curled her lips and tugged at Lin Xubai's sleeve.
"Come closer, I'll tell you quietly."
Elder Xiong folded his arms and pretended not to care, but in fact he pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what nonsense this girl could say.
Not only Elder Xiong, but also several disciples who were closer to him moved towards Jiang Wan at the same time.
"The secret is—"
