Chapter 488 Why Did You Run Away When You Saw Me? (First Update)
He clearly felt that this Xue Furong was indeed very strange, quite different from before.
However, he also knew that Xue Furong was exceptionally well-behaved and sensible after the change, gentle in nature, and a talented and hardworking individual, so he naturally did not want to doubt her.
Xiao Tang nodded slightly displeased at the old man's behavior.
Xiao Tang nodded as if she understood, "It seems you had suspicions all along, but just wanted to keep her here?"
Xue Furong's eyes lit up.
She thought her chance had come.
Looking at the Second Master, she was on the verge of tears. "Master, I really have my reasons. You have to believe me. I have never done anything bad. I can explain this matter of possession to you slowly."
Her pitiful appearance, coupled with her delicate and charming demeanor, would make any man feel a pang of sympathy.
It's a real shame about the second sect leader; I wanted to show him compassion but didn't dare.
After all, he was facing Xiao Tang.
His graying brows furrowed deeply in distress. "Your Highness, what do you think..."
"You don't want to deal with it? Then do as you please. After all, he's your disciple."
Xiao Tang actually relented.
Xue Furong hadn't even gotten into the most captivating part of her performance when Xiao Tang unexpectedly said, "Whatever you say."
It felt like punching cotton – completely ineffective.
The second sect leader, however, was overjoyed. He instructed Xue Furong, "The sect leader has already spared your life, aren't you going to thank him?"
Xue Furong would never agree.
She bit her lower lip.
He looked determined to resist to the death.
Seeing that she was not convinced, the old man simply forced her head down.
"You're so insensible! You don't even know how to thank me. Let me teach you."
He pressed Xue Furong down and made her bow in Xiao Tang's direction.
Xiao Tang waved her hand. "Go on, and it's best you don't show your face in front of me."
Watching Xue Furong leave in a huff, Yan Shi was puzzled. "Your Highness, won't this... cause endless trouble in the future?"
This one can possess another body.
"Do you think I'm that easy to talk to? Or do you think I'm such a nice person?" Xiao Tang crossed her legs and threw a sour jujube into her mouth.
She chewed noisily, her eyes devoid of any smile.
Yan Shi suddenly understood. "Does the Princess mean to settle accounts with this person slowly?"
"No, she won't live more than three days."
Xiao Tang sneered, "She thinks she can get rid of this body and possess another? Then I'll make sure she can't get rid of it!"
Although Yan Shi couldn't understand it, he still felt it was incredibly cruel.
The princess's methods are increasingly rivaling those of the regent.
"Yan Shi, let's go see the disciples chosen by the Second Master."
After Xue Furong left, the old sect leader stood there motionless.
Upon seeing Xiao Tang stand up, he immediately stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Your Highness, as for Furong, although she was possessed, as long as she is wholeheartedly good..."
"If she were truly virtuous, would she need to drain all of Nineteen's yang energy?"
"Uh..." The old man was speechless.
After a moment's thought, he nodded. "What the princess says is indeed true."
That's really nothing!
Xiao Tang was so angry at the old man's words that she laughed.
Any normal person would be suspicious, right?
She was both funny and speechless.
"Where are the disciples? When shall we depart for the capital?"
"Once the disciples are selected, we will immediately set off for the capital, so that you and the Regent will not be separated for too long and miss each other too much."
Xiao Tang looked at him silently.
Longing for her husband...
These four words would be fine if spoken by someone else, but when they came out of the old sect leader's mouth, they sounded quite out of place.
Xiao Tang still couldn't figure out what the last task given by the system was.
Moreover, this dog system has been excessively quiet and excessively unenthusiastic lately.
It gave her the impression that they were plotting some big mission.
So when the old man spoke of his longing for his husband, she inexplicably thought of the dog system.
The second sect leader, not receiving a response from her, let out a strange "hmm".
He was an old man after all, and he didn't feel ashamed when he talked about it.
He said with a smile, "Your Highness, please come with me. This way, please."
Xiao Tang snapped out of her daze, wondering what was wrong with the old man, who had a maternal smile on his face. But she was too lazy to expose him, so she simply collected her thoughts, nodded slightly, and followed.
As the second sect leader introduced them, Xiao Tang glanced at the twenty-odd junior disciples in front of him.
The biggest event in Shensuan Mountain right now is this metaphysical conference.
The disciples talked most about this metaphysical conference, and Xiao Tang had heard about the rules and such.
The competition will be played in a best-of-three format.
There are three stages. In each stage, the disciples of Shensuan Mountain and Wanmo Cave will compete against each other. The winner will advance to the next stage.
Until the final round, only one person will be selected from each side.
Whoever wins will bring glory to their sect.
This is not only a battle for glory, but also a testament to the relative strengths and weaknesses of Divine Calculation Mountain and Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
Choosing ten disciples from these twenty-odd disciples is no easy task.
She knew absolutely nothing about these people.
Moreover, Xue Furong must be excluded.
Xue Furong cannot return to participate in the competition.
Before the competition even started, her life was already in danger.
Xiao Tang's appearance made the more than twenty disciples standing in the courtyard extremely nervous.
Since the incident at the age of nineteen, they have developed a certain respect for this sect leader, and this respect is not simply due to their admiration for the sect leader's strength.
What impressed me even more was the fact that the sect leader was a woman!
The second sect leader then explained to her, "Your Highness, please take a look. Keep any that you think are acceptable at first glance."
Xiao Tang responded with an "oh".
My gaze swept over it.
There were people of all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin, male and female.
In the end, she selected the old man's three most outstanding male disciples, three female disciples, and four others to choose from at random.
After she made her selection, a pretty young woman excitedly exclaimed, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, you've all been selected! That's fantastic!"
The woman's exclamation also caught Xiao Tang's attention.
The excitedly shouting woman didn't notice the sect leader's sudden gaze falling on her. She looked at her three senior brothers, each with their own unique strengths, with a charming and envious expression.
She was filled with envy.
She was destined not to participate in this competition.
Xiao Tang was squinting when she suddenly heard a "tsk" from not far away.
That disdainful sniping sound was so familiar.
Xiao Tang turned around and indeed saw Yan Ruyu not far away.
She had her hands in her pockets, staring intently at the woman with a look of disdain.
That look perfectly captured a mix of disdain and indifference.
Perhaps Xiao Tang's gaze was too obvious, for Yan Ruyu also noticed it.
When she met Xiao Tang's gaze, her eyes froze for a moment, and the disdain she had just felt vanished instantly, leaving only a trace of embarrassment.
Helpless, she could only nod to Xiao Tang.
Then he turned stiffly and left with an extremely rigid posture.
Xiao Tang glanced at the disciples and then followed in her footsteps.
Why did you run away when you saw me?
