Chapter 69: The disciples going to the sea try to open the white bell and leave. The disciples going to the sea...

Xie Tingyu's train of thought has always been unique, and Wen Zhiyu has proven this many times.

He thought he could get a definite answer this time, but Xie Tingyu started talking about his hidden injury again.

The aqua blue little fox tilted its head and suddenly jumped into Xie Tingyu's arms. Xie Tingyu raised his hand, and the little fox pressed its ears back and made a slight humming sound.

The little fox took the initiative to approach Xie Tingyu, which surprised her for a moment.

Xie Tingyu didn't understand. This aqua blue little fox that was transformed from Wen Zhi and a strand of hair should have been closer to Wen Zhi, so why did it come to her now?

"Junior sister, don't you like it?" Wen Zhiyu's eyes were a little melancholy.

Seeing that Xie Tingyu didn't say anything, he continued, "Junior sister, your attitude towards it now is the answer to my question."

"What is my attitude? How come I don't even know it?" Xie Tingyu held the little fox in her arms. Its fur was soft and shiny, and it was obviously well taken care of.

Did Wen Zhiyu take it away at that time just to show her his animal taming skills?

Xie Tingyu was so happy that he didn't notice Wen Zhiyu's eyes darkening in an instant.

Wen Zhiyu left in the evening. When he left, Zelan and Han Xunzhen were still drinking tea in the house. He did not bring the little fox with him. Although Xie Tingyu was confused, he did not ask any more questions.

Ze Lan and Han Xun Zhen did the same thing. As soon as Wen Zhi and his predecessor left, they rushed over and looked at Xie Tingyu with wide eyes.

Xie Tingyu felt his scalp tingling when being looked at. He frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Did Wen Zhiyu bully you?" Han Xunzhen saw that his senior sister hesitated to speak many times and was obviously embarrassed to speak, so he asked directly.

"Look at Wen Zhiyu's current state. Does it look like he is bullying me?" Xie Tingyu's voice was filled with a smile. The little fox fell asleep peacefully in her arms, as if he had already fallen into a sweet dream.

Can the beasts transformed from hair also sleep?

Xie Tingyu gently pushed Ze Lan's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I can assure you that I won't die."

She would not die, because she had already become the King of Ghosts, the one who was below one ghost and above all other ghosts.

If even ghosts could die, then their souls would be scattered and eventually annihilated in the cycle of reincarnation.

Zelan didn't think that Xie Tingyu was telling the truth. On the contrary, Zelan just thought that Xie Tingyu was using death to comfort her.

Han Xunzhen had never seen his senior sister so confused because of anything or anyone. He felt a headache and could only cast a hopeful look at Xie Tingyu.

Xie Tingyu tried her best. Ze Lan stared at Xie Tingyu's smile and suddenly interrupted her, "Am I too willful? I actually need you to coax me." Ze Lan chuckled twice, "I think your smile is more fake than mine, stop laughing."

Hearing that Zelan was joking, Xie Tingyu also laughed. Han Xun really didn't understand what these two were laughing at.

He grinned and said, "So what's so funny about this?" He pointed at the little fox and said, "Look, it's not even laughing."

"Zelan, go back and let him take more medicine, preferably the kind that can nourish the brain." Xie Tingyu rolled his eyes. Even if they hadn't been together for these days, Han Xunzhen could understand Xie Tingyu's undisguised sarcasm.

Han Xunzhen widened his eyes and was just thinking about having a good clash with Xie Tingyu, but Zelan gave him a cold look and Han Xunzhen immediately shrank his neck.

He pretended to sob, feeling aggrieved.

She howled beside the two of them, pretending to be sad, "How did my senior sister become like this? She must have been replaced in the underground palace."

"See, I told you he was sick."

Xie Tingyu looked as if it was indeed the case, while Zelan looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

Han Xunzhen was left alone, pretending to be crazy and stupid and was scolded.

Xie Tingyu finally pushed one of them on the back and sent them both to the door. Ze Lan turned around and said softly, "Go back and rest soon. We won't bother you tomorrow. The Disciple Exam for the Sea is coming soon, so you need to rest well."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten about this. Did you know that you suddenly appeared out of nowhere and almost snatched away my spot for the Sea Disciple Examination?" Han Xunzhen crossed his arms.

He pinned the jade slip on his waist.

"What does this mean? Did Master give me your quota?" When Xie Tingyu heard Chen Chanyi mention it that day, she only said that she would arrange everything. She thought there was already a vacancy, but she didn't expect that she would directly revoke the quota of another disciple and then give it to her?

This arrangement doesn't seem to make sense.

It is also easy to push her directly to the forefront.

This is something that anyone can see.

Xie Tingyu didn't believe that Chen Chanyi, as the owner of Xilinhuan Tower, would not know what the consequences of doing this would be.

Unless, she just wanted Xie Tingyu to be drowned in public opinion and make everyone think that Xie Tingyu was a despicable person who took someone else's position through the backdoor.

How vicious.

Xie Tingyu cursed in his heart.

Ze Lan nodded along with Han Xun Zhen. Seeing Xie Ting Yu was a little confused, she patiently explained, "The Fuhai Disciple Exam has a long history. It is held every two years. It is a competition between Xuan Yun Tian disciples and Xilin Huan Lou disciples. There are not many places for each competition, but the rewards are very generous. A sect can only send out ten people. Therefore, for disciples like us, this place is very precious, and we need to fight among ourselves."

"Yes, we normally wouldn't even dare to think about those rewards, but the disciples who go to the sea take them out directly as prizes, which is enough to show how strong the foundation of your Xuanyuntian is and how enviable it is."

Han Xunzhen smacked his lips as he listened to what Zelan said. He raised his hand to look at his fingers, and saw a scar on his wrist that still had a red mark.

He stayed there to compete for a spot.

Two months have passed and it has not subsided yet.

"What did Han Xunzhen mean when he said that I almost took his place?" Xie Tingyu nodded and suddenly spoke.

"Of course it's because after I knew about your existence, I went to fight with someone else openly, but in the end he was defeated by me and had to give up the spot to you."

Han Xunzhen raised his chin, looking high-spirited and quite proud.

He didn't even let Ze Lan speak for him, he just spoke out immediately. Ze Lan pinched his ear and said, "I told you not to talk nonsense outside. If Elder Mo hears it, you will be in trouble."

"That's right. That old man loves to nag. He can't stand losing. His disciples are also corrupt. None of the masters are broad-minded."

Although Han Xunzhen usually speaks without restraint, today when he mentioned Elder Mo and his disciple, he sneered and spoke derogatory words one after another.

"This Elder Mo has always been at odds with Master, and I have always liked to compete with the two of us since I was young, but I never won. Over time, he started to hate the two of us."

Ze Lan blinked her eyes. "This time, Xiao Zhen took his place. He will definitely not let it go. I heard that he even used some tricks to force a disciple to give up his place. Now he is also one of the disciples going to the Sea Disciple Exam. If necessary, you can pretend that you don't know us."

Xie Tingyu could understand what was said. Ze Lan was reminding Xie Tingyu that this person was not a good person. If Xie Tingyu got close to the two of them, he would be targeted by them.

Zelan is trying to keep her out of trouble.

"Is this a disaster? Can he kill me alone? Moreover, on the surface, we are all fighting on behalf of Xilin Huanlou."

Xie Tingyuhun didn't care and took the initiative to comfort the two of them with a confident smile on his face.

Han Xunzhen hummed, "Sure enough, I was not wrong about you."

"Of course, let's see what tricks Xuan Yuntian's people can come up with."

Xie Tingyu's words were full of momentum. Hearing this, Ze Lan and Han Xunzhen looked at each other and said in unison, "Is it possible that Xuanyun Tiancai is your sect?"

"So what? The person in front of me is my enemy. I can just beat him up."

According to Ze Lan, there is still half a month before the Disciple Examination at Sea, so Xie Tingyu's injuries are not a big deal.

However, one must also consider: if one is really backstabbed during the Sea Disciple Examination, how should one respond?

That person had already reached the eighth level of the Floating World Jade, and was no match for Ze Lan, Han Xun Zhen and the others. However, it was still quite difficult for her to deal with them as a young man traveling alone in the eighth level of the world.

Xie Tingyu remembered that his physical body was shockingly weak.

He also unconsciously let out two "tsk tsk" sounds.

Han Xunzhen thought Xie Tingyu was thinking about how to deal with the disciple test at sea, and left quietly while Xie Tingyu was distracted.

Xie Tingyu sat in front of the door, watching the round sun setting outside Xilinhuan Building.

The familiar poem came to my mind again, "The smoke rises straight over the desert, the setting sun is round over the long river."

"Why do you miss home?"

"Didn't I already have no home?"

Xie Tingyu laughed to himself, turned around, and took out a small green bell from his storage ring.

Is this something Bai Lingling asked Han Xunzhen to bring over?

Xie Ting pinched the small green bell with her jade fingers, injecting a strand of spiritual energy into it.

The little bell rang, only for a moment.

A figure emerged from the small bell, and Bai Lingling's pair of deer eyes were the first to come into view.

"You left without saying goodbye, are you reluctant to leave me?" Xie Tingyu curled his lips and stared at the image that was almost real.

Bai Lingling's voice was filled with guilt. "I didn't mean to do that, but I definitely can't bear to let it go."

The two didn't spend much time together, but Bai Lingling still particularly liked to stay with Xie Tingyu.

Xie Tingyu once described it to her as "it's a pity we met too late."

"My family told me that Xilin Fantasy Tower is much more dangerous than before. Many unidentified people have entered the desert and never come out again."

"But those who didn't come out didn't die in there, but they might be related to the weirdness of the desert."

Sure enough, Bai Lingling came to the desert for a purpose, and it was not just because he was being chased by someone and accidentally ran away until he met her.

"Don't look at me with such suspicion. I'm not trying to hide anything. And I believe you know that my purpose is not simple. The three intelligence requests I promised you at that time still count. You can go to the Bai Family Fengyu Building to look for information whenever you want."

"The Bai family's influence may not be spread throughout the entire cultivation world, but its scope is also very wide. I can guarantee that 80% of the information can be found."

Xie Tingyu looked at Bai Lingling's confident expression and nodded silently, "What if I want to ask the ghost mansion?"
