Chapter 124
Yin Ye: "Is that what he meant?"
How come he didn't realize it?
He hadn't seen Lin Qinghen many times since he woke up. When they occasionally met at home, she would avoid him. Moreover, he didn't take them seriously and didn't say a word. How could Yin Rongyu sense that?
Yin Rongyu: "That's something that can only be understood, not expressed in words. Of course you don't understand."
Yin Ye: "...Okay."
He only felt a dull pain from the whip marks on the back of his neck.
"Besides, don't you want to win? Not only for your parents' legacy, but if you lose this time, the Yin family will really lose face, and Lin Qinghen will look down on you for the rest of his life." Yin Rongyu didn't have to mention him all the time, but when it came to this, he had to say that the three words "Lin Qinghen" really became a kind of encouragement, "Anyway, just listen to me."
Yin Ye is indeed not the type of person who uses his brain very well and has a somewhat reckless personality. Since Yin Rongyu said this, he could only be led along.
"So what are you going to do?"
In the past, when they were confused, they stirred up trouble in the Yin family. That was because they were familiar with the situation at home and had someone to rely on. Yin Rongyu was in the dark and he was in the light, and their cooperation was seamless.
But the situation is different now. No one from Wang Yulin would talk to them. How could they be easily instigated?
Yin Rongyu gave him a look that said "reassured", and then began to talk about his plan bit by bit.
He was well prepared and full of confidence.
When it comes to the ability to see through people's minds and sow discord, Bai Muchuan is not even as good as Yin Rongyu, who has been scheming since childhood and has always been working hard to get the position of young master.
This skill is just sitting there anyway, it would be a waste if you don't use it.
First of all, the manual he got did provide very detailed information on all aspects. Yin Rongyu thought at the time that the wolf descendants were indeed good at finding out information, and everything from spiritual essence to origin records were clear.
The real editor-in-chief Yin Jiuxiao disdains to play such tricks, and he does not focus on this. However, Yin Rongyu has a different perspective. When he looks at this, he manages to see some special clues.
The more I look at Wang Yulin's team, the more I feel like there's something fishy going on.
Yin Rongyu was well aware that training spiritual masters in teams was a specialty of Wang Yulin College.
—The spiritual essences of general spiritual masters have their own advantages and disadvantages. Teaming up with five people is a common configuration for adventure teams in the spiritual world. The purpose is to cooperate with each other, give full play to their expertise and make up for their shortcomings, which is better than fighting alone.
But the Yin family's Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword is an exception. The swordsman is the only one who can dominate the world with almost no weaknesses and does not need teammates. However, the perfection of the continent's first spiritual essence cannot be replicated by others. In order to recruit talents and teach them in different categories, the additional college of Wang Yulin College was gradually separated from the Yin family's private school.
But after Yin Rongyu looked at it, he felt that the five-man combination of Wang Yulin's teams was actually not the best.
Even he could see it, so it was impossible that the deans including Wang Yulin hadn't seen it.
Why would you give up improving your strength to do this? You will understand after looking at your family background.
—Most of the people in the team came from prominent families. Although the Yin family had declined, there were still many second-rate families that survived in Beizhou in the past. Now they occupied the center of Beizhou and became the new elite.
The powerful class always has some bad habits.
This group of people have been together since they were young, and they did not separate after entering Wang Yulin College and formed a team.
The origins of the second team are much more ordinary. They are all civilian students admitted to the academy. Although spiritual marrow is a thing that is inherited, ordinary families can occasionally produce a genius with extremely good talents.
The people in the second team are also talented and each has their own strengths, but their backgrounds are much worse. The resources they enjoy and the spiritual weapons they carry are also the leftovers from others. This clearly separates the two teams.
Moreover, Team 2 had no ability to resist and could only passively take beatings on weekdays, so Wang Yulin appeared to be very harmonious on the surface.
Apart from these outstanding ones, the remaining five and six teams are mostly composed of civilians or people born in small families, which accounts for half of the total.
Beizhou was hit hard, and talented families were also affected. These people were selected by Wang Yulin and they worked a hundred times harder to get to where they are today, but they must have been bullied a lot in the academy, and even more so after entering the ruins.
Yin Rongyu took advantage of the past few days to observe, and the situation was indeed the same as he thought, or even worse. Team 2 was better off, but Team 5 and Team 6 were treated as cannon fodder by Team 3 and Team 4 and could not resist. When the time came, they could only get scraps, and even the resources they had worked so hard to get would be snatched away as long as the other party took a fancy to them.
This kind of unfairness will inevitably breed dissatisfaction, and once it accumulates to a certain extent, it will explode.
This is the best basis for sowing discord!
Yin Rongyu felt that he would be sorry for himself if he didn't do something.
"We're going for the rewards. Most of the things in the box are closely related to the people in the team, so we have to get them back no matter what. But how can Wang Yulin's people have such a sense of belief? Naturally, they only care about themselves," Yin Rongyu said, "In the eyes of their academy, winning is a matter of course. The rewards they can get in this game are actually the gains from this relic. If all of this is taken away, there is no need to pretend to be peaceful."
This requires an introduction.
Yin Rongyu set his sights on a person.
Ding Lian.
He really learned a lot from Lin Qinghen.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader; to kill a snake, you must hit it at its most vulnerable part. The difference between small schemes and big conspiracies lies in where the focus and target are.
Yin Rongyu didn't need to instigate them one by one, that would be too troublesome. Among this group of civilian students, Ding Lian was the leader, he had the strongest ability and the best talent, and he would protect them on weekdays, so as long as he wavered, the others would follow suit.
Then there is the breaking point.
Following his instructions, the Yin family's group of young men began to do bad things stealthily.
Thanks to the guidance in the booklet and the visits he had made over the past few days, Yin Rongyu knew exactly what might be produced in this place.
They first went to a secret place with the captain of the second team, Ding Lian, where there was a colorful spider that was catalyzed by evil spirits.
Ding Lian's spiritual essence is the Ten Thousand Poison Spider Blade, which is shaped like a spider's pointed legs. The things produced by this spiritual beast are just suitable for him. He can make a complete set of spiritual weapons. The most important of them is the beast core, which can even optimize his spiritual essence after being absorbed and digested by him, bringing long-term benefits.
However, this spider was not easy to deal with. When Team Two finally killed it with great difficulty, it was already covered in blood. Then, it was taken advantage of by Team One, which was brought in by Yin Rongyu.
Under such circumstances, there was a big contradiction in the distribution at that time.
Ding Lian was desperate to get this thing, so of course he wanted to take all of them away and make a set.
But Team 1 disagreed and insisted on taking away the most important beast core.
The colorful spider has special habits. It grows up eating ore and usually only appears in large mines or ruins. It is not aggressive. Once it hears any movement, it will run very fast and is extremely difficult to catch.
And those who have been demonized by the evil energy of the ruins are extremely rare, comparable to some heavenly-level spirit beasts.
The beast core is where the power of the spirit beast is concentrated, which is equivalent to the spiritual marrow of the spiritual master. After death, the spirit beast will carry its original abilities.
This thing has a special sensitivity to some precious minerals. After being made into a spiritual weapon, it is a powerful tool for finding scarce resources. The demonized colorful spider beast core is of course more effective.
Although this one is not of high level, it may be one of the most practical outputs in this arena.
"After we return to the academy, I'll find something else to compensate you." The man from Team 1 held the beast core tightly in his hand and said casually, "It's just spiders. There are spiders everywhere in my warehouse."
Is that possible?
Ding Lian was furious.
It is because the colorful spider only eats minerals, its spiritual power is uniquely pure, and Ding Lian's spiritual marrow happens to be of the same origin as it, which is why it has special effects.
The rest simply can't catch up, the gap is huge. It can be said that this is the only thing in the spiritual world that has such a rare influence on him. He doesn't know when he will meet such a suitable thing next time.
Besides, our team has already risked everything for this. Our injuries are so serious, and they come to snatch it away when we are about to succeed. How can this be justified?
"You can take the rest, but not this one," Ding Lian said, "Give it back to me."
He even summoned his spiritual essence, intending to snatch it back.
But how could he possibly defeat a team when he was already wounded? In the end, he got another knife wound on his waist and was kicked back.
Team — was quite surprised to see that Ding Lian did not bow his head this time, but they still had no intention of returning it. They were used to being dignified, so how could they possibly give this thing to others?
"If we hadn't intervened, your second team would have been dead long ago. We are very friendly in giving you all the other outputs. Don't be ungrateful. If this wasn't the game going on, you wouldn't have just suffered this back injury.
Let's go! Ignore them. If you don't agree, go talk to the dean after you get out and see if he will punish you."
Everyone in the college, from the dean to the president, is on their side, so there's no point in saying anything.
This kind of loss was not the first time that Ding Lian suffered, but he usually just endured it for a while. Why had he given in so many times? This time he wanted to fight hard for it, and even the other members of his team wanted to grab it!
So that night, when Ding Lian's intermittent communication magic device had time to be used, he did not contact the academy. Instead, while touching the wound on his waist, he contacted Song Xuemiao with a gloomy face and told her everything about the matter.
When Song Xuemiao heard that he was injured, her tone became obviously sad and her voice was a little choked.
"Are you okay now?"
"I'm much better after taking the medicine you gave me," Ding Lian said, "I can't give up. I will definitely get the beast core back."
Song Xuemiao, who was on the other side of the communication device, was silent for a long time before she spoke.
"Brother Lian, don't you understand? Wang Yulin has always treated us as tools and never really considered our feelings. They can use the Huayu Sword Immortal's relics to threaten people, so what else can't they do?"
Song Xuemiao felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke: "We lost the alchemist competition, and my sister and I were punished the most severely. But there were more than just the two of us who lost the competition. Those with prominent family backgrounds were let off lightly, and they only used us to set the rules. This is not the first time it has happened, and it will happen again in the future."
Even the medicine that Ding Lian is using to heal his injuries was made by her secretly and stuffed into his arms with great difficulty before the game. If she had made it openly, such good medicine would have been taken away by Team -.
Ding Lian didn't say anything for a while.
He listened to the little girl's choking voice, and he didn't know how many times he felt heartache and anger rising in his heart.
He can't even protect the person he likes. Why did he and Song Xuemiao support each other for so long?
Song Xuemiao couldn't help but think of Lin Qinghen over there.
Lin Qinghen was very good to the alchemist. He shared a portion of the money with the alchemist and was also a very nice person.
After the competition, he rushed onto the stage and immediately showed concern for Lin Yunsi and Li Yan's health, while Qin Xiang only cared about the results after he came up and didn't even look at him.
They suffered a lot of injustices in the past and thought that it was normal. They had no family background and it was normal for them to be bullied outside. It was like this everywhere in the spiritual world. But after meeting Diemeng, they realized that there are still normal people.
Lin Qinghen is not like that. Not to mention the alchemists, he is always very nice to ordinary farmers and never looks down on anyone.
Wang Yulin has been the number one in Beizhou for a long time. The academy feels that they have absolutely no other place to go. It is extremely difficult to leave Beizhou. No matter what, they will not run away. However, if they do not cultivate their personal morals, they will never be able to stay for long.
"Lincheng is in no way comparable to the Yin family before, or even the Yin family now!" Song Xuemiao said, "When the Yin family was in charge before, the academy was not like this at all!"
Ding Lian understood what she meant.
But this time he couldn't say anything to persuade her.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to find Young Master Lin to pass on the news," she said through gritted teeth, "Think about it carefully."
Soon there was another fluctuation of spiritual power, and the communication magic device stopped responding.
Ding Lian stood there for a while, and finally could only let out a long sigh.
Even Lin Qinghen did not expect how this situation would develop, and he did not do anything intentionally.
He found Wang Yulin's behavior disgusting, much more disgusting than Bai Muchuan's scheming. Moreover, the rude Song Lingyang at the beginning left a very bad impression on him. If all the children trained there have no bottom line and have such bad character, he would stay away from them no matter how talented they are, and he really didn't think of poaching them.
Who would have thought that this corner would now take the initiative to come over, and promote each other internally and externally, causing waves in the arena within the circle.
It was unexpected that Yin Rongyu was inside. He felt that the effect of sowing discord was extremely good and fast. The colorful spider was a blessing in disguise for him, and the several small conflicts that he arranged afterwards went even more smoothly.
On the fifteenth day, when the competition was halfway through, Yin Rongyu and Ding Lian had a face-to-face encounter.
