Chapter 71: Departure Qiu Qingyu appears again
Ze Lan had once told Xie Tingyu that disciples going to the sea for the test needed to bring water-related magic tools.
When Chen Chanyi heard Xie Tingyu suddenly bring up this question, she immediately understood what she meant, "You can just ask me directly. It's not like I won't give it to you. Why are you beating around the bush to remind me?"
"It's different, Master's Wife. I am alone and have no one to support me. If Master blames me for this, I can't bear his anger."
"Look at what you said. He dares to blame you for what I gave you?"
Hearing this, Xie Tingyu just smiled and didn't respond for a long time.
The scene of the disciples' examination at sea was grand and it was, after all, a joint contest between the two major sects.
Moreover, the prizes were generous, attracting many disciples.
The atmosphere inside Xilin Fantasy Tower was tense. Even those who did not participate in the sea disciple examination were like arrows on a bow string, ready to be fired at any time.
Ze Lan and Han Xun Zhen were both wearing training uniforms for disciples. The training uniforms for disciples of Xilin Huan Lou were all of the same standard. Only Xie Ting Yu was wearing his own clothes. The two of them walked on Xie Ting Yu's left and right, and Xie Ting Yu felt like he didn't fit in.
"Although you used our building's quota to participate in the sea disciple examination, you are not a disciple of our building after all. You can only follow the status of an external reserve cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Xie Tingyu took out her ID card. Her name was outlined in golden ink on the front, and the word "备" was clearly written on the back.
She looked at it and said, "No wonder, I thought I was a reserve."
"What is the reserve army?" Han Xunzhen came over to look at her jade card, and sure enough, the back of Xie Tingyu's jade card was different from his.
Both he and his senior sister have the character "西".
Obviously this is the symbol of a disciple of Xilin Huanlou.
"Nothing, this is just how I call myself now." Xie Tingyu's eyes lit up when he saw Ze Lan in her red and white training suit, which perfectly outlined her slender waist.
"This disciple uniform is good for beauty. It looks really good."
Ze Lan and Han Xunzhen are the direct disciples of the owner of Xilin Huanlou, and Ze Lan is the chief disciple. At this time, the two of them surrounded Xie Tingyu, causing the disciples of Xilin Huanlou on the road to look sideways.
The ten candidates who entered the test stood together on the Xilin Huanlou test field, while the rest of the disciples sat in the audience seats, shouting at the top of their lungs, their cries of “Come on!” almost echoing through the sky.
Xie Tingyu was in a trance for a moment, having the illusion that he had entered the enemy camp and was being dragged into a pyramid scheme.
"Congratulations to the ten disciples who have passed the test for the Sea Trial. Before you set off, I would like to emphasize some points that need attention. This year's Sea Trial will begin. You will set out from Xilin Huanlou, cross Xuandu Sea, and arrive at Diaoyu Island in the sea. Xuanyuntian disciples will set out from Xuanyuntian and eventually meet you at Diaoyu Island."
"Disciples going to the sea will not be provided with tools to cross the sea, so this is not only a test of how much spiritual power you have, but also how well you have mastered it. The better disciples can stay suspended on the water for two hours without falling into the sea. As for the rest of the disciples, they will have to experience falling many times and then climb out of the perilous Xuandu Sea."
From this perspective, the Disciple Examination for the Sea is indeed not just some childish competition.
An elderly elder stood a few steps behind Chen Chanyi and read out the rules.
Xie Tingyu was protected in the middle by Ze Lan and Han Xun Zhen, and was standing at the front.
Several extremely hot and obvious rays of light penetrated the crowd and came directly from behind. Xie Tingyu knew who it was without turning around.
He is always the one who goes against Zelan and Han Xunzhen.
"Song She is extremely jealous. If you hadn't stood with us this time, we could have avoided some trouble." Han Xunzhen sighed with disdain in his tone.
Ze Lan looked straight ahead when she heard this. "Judging from Song She's personality, even if A-Yu wasn't with us, he would have taken the initiative to cause trouble for her. After all, he always thought that A-Yu had taken his place."
Ever since Xie Tingyu came to Xilin Huanlou, Ze Lan has become more talkative. Hearing what his senior sister said, Han Xunzhen curled his lips, and the jade slip in his hand was split into several pieces, which shuttled back and forth and stayed on his fingertips.
Zelan raised her hands to her waist, where her bone whip was hanging.
Xie Tingyuhuai was holding Tianxing Chixiao, standing casually, and she didn't seem to care about the gazes that were staring through her.
Perhaps because Xie Tingyu's expression was too indifferent, the gazes of those people became more intense, and some even attacked him from behind with spiritual power.
Ze Lan raised her hand and waved it away, dispelling the painless attack. "Is this your way of welcoming others? Be careful or I will tell Master and take away your hard-earned spot."
Song She's method was too clumsy. He actually attacked Xie Tingyu in public. Ze Lan's tone was cold and hard, and it was obvious that she was not prepared to save face for Song She.
Song She's face darkened and he sneered, "You are just a piece of trash who got a place by relying on your status. You dare to shout here? You two siblings are also not very good-looking. You actually lowered your status and associated with such a person."
There was sarcasm in his voice, but it didn't have any effect. Han Xunzhen scratched his ears and said, "Are you crazy? This quota can be obtained based on your status? Then why do you have to ask others to threaten others to give up the quota and give it to you?"
"It seems that your identity and background are not enough, so you can't do this." Han Xunzhen pretended to be enlightened.
Xie Tingyu and Zelan smiled at each other, as if everything was self-explanatory.
To thank Tingyu for his identity, he must admit that his identity is not as powerful as he has always believed.
Song She has always been very concerned about his reputation, so he naturally couldn't bring himself to admit this.
He glanced at Xie Tingyu and snorted coldly.
He took a step back on his own initiative. As Xie Tingyu had expected, Han Xunzhen had a very poisonous tongue.
The elder who was reading out the rules on the stage was Song She's master. Noticing the conflict among several people below the stage, he calmly changed the subject.
"During the competition, you are not allowed to disturb your teammates, kill each other, or form an alliance with enemy disciples to harm your teammates. You are not allowed to withdraw from the competition. Otherwise, you will be punished according to the rules of Xilin Huanlou based on the severity of your mistakes."
The elderly elder's words were still powerful, and had not lost their force at all because of his aged appearance.
As he spoke, he brought with him a bit of spiritual pressure, which rolled over the disciples below the stage one by one to intimidate them.
Upon hearing this, Xie Tingyu and the other two all raised their lips. It seemed that this rule was not used to restrict them, but more like dealing with his beloved little disciple. Why bother?
Chen Chanyi only spoke a few words of encouragement from beginning to end, but most of the disciples present admired Chen Chanyi and regarded this building owner as their goal to strive for.
Just a few simple words are enough to arouse their emotions.
"Come on, Master Sister!"
"Better than them, Xuan Yuntian."
"So what if it's Xuan Yuntian? He still lost to us, Xilin Huanlou."
Xie Tingyu's eyes wandered around the stage. She didn't see Yun Heng and Wen Zhiyu. Perhaps they had already returned to Xuan Yuntian. So apart from looking at Chen Chanyi, her eyes mostly stayed on the elderly elder.
The elder had a gloomy aura, which did not seem like the aura of a decent person.
It doesn't look like he's old, this cold breath is very similar to ghost aura. Thinking of this, Xie Tingyu took a step back and asked without lowering his voice, "Did this elder practice some evil skill?"
Ze Lan covered Xie Tingyu's mouth, but it was too late. Xie Tingyu's words came out and fell into the ears of everyone present.
The perception of the monks was already very sensitive, and Xie Tingyu did not hide anything at this time, so the three of them immediately became the center of everyone's attention.
Countless eyes fell on Xie Tingyu, most of them were shocked and angry, but the protagonist of Xie Tingyu's talk was the only one who stared at her with a pair of cloudy eyes, without sadness or joy, but like a poisonous snake clinging to the back of her neck.
"This young friend seems to be interested in my skills."
The elderly elder laughed, as if he wanted to look kind, but the wrinkles on his face wrinkled into a ball, and he didn't manage to put on a kind smile. Instead, he looked hideous and ridiculous.
The feeling became stronger and stronger. Xie Tingyu smiled but didn't smile. He looked back and said, "The elder is so considerate of the younger generation. It's not impossible for me to teach the younger generation. I'm just afraid that my master will be angry and say that I am not good enough in swordsmanship and I have to ask you for advice."
Xie Tingyu paused for a moment and smiled slyly, "You are not a sword cultivator, are you?"
"Of course not."
"Well, then you really don't have anything to teach me. I'm sorry."
The implication is that you are not worthy of teaching me.
Xie Tingyu was polite on the surface, but if you thought about those words carefully, you could detect the sarcasm in them.
Seeing his master being insulted, Song She angrily pushed through the crowd and walked towards Xie Tingyu with great momentum, cursing as he walked, "If you have the guts, don't say that here. You're so good at talking, do you really think everyone is afraid of you?"
"Okay, let's see who's the winner in the competition?"
Song She's good master had just emphasized that disciples from the same sect must not kill each other. Now Song She looked like he had turned a deaf ear to his master's words.
When he reacted, Song Shezhi was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Ze Lan and Han Xun Zhen were speechless, but they gave Ting Yu Shu a thumbs up at the same time.
The Tianxing Chixiao in Xie Ting's jade arms trembled, and the red spiritual power pointed directly at the elderly elder and Song She.
Chen Chanyi's eyes flashed with a smile, and then she coughed twice, "I won't say any more unnecessary words. I hope you can get a good ranking and bring honor to my Xilin Huanlou."
Zelan and Han Xunzhen said in unison, "Let's spread the glory of Xilin Huanlou!"
"Lift me..." Xie Tingyu blurted out two words and stopped talking immediately. She scratched her head awkwardly, trying to pretend nothing happened.
Han Xunzhen came over, "Are you showing off your Xuanyuntian heroic spirit? Hahahahahahaha."
"You laugh too loudly."
A few people fought and made a scene, then left in public.
Zelan Han Xunzhen, as the master's direct disciple with the highest level of cultivation, naturally walked in front of the team. The disciples going to the sea to try Xilinhuan Tower set out from a pier.
This is the largest transportation point owned by Xilin Huanlou. It not only has a teleportation array, but also multiple docks.
Countless ships and spaceships of all sizes docked here, but they wouldn't use these things.
They stood at the edge of the boundless Xuandu Sea. The salty wind blew over with a fishy smell, and Han Xunzhen rubbed his nose.
His face was solemn. "Although this is not the first time I have participated in the Sea Disciple Exam, I feel very annoyed when I look at the Xuan Du Sea. Who set it up so that we can swim across it? Is this reasonable?"
Xie Tingyu caught a glimpse of a flying ship and saw a familiar figure being taken aboard by several disciples of Xilin Huanlou.
"Qiu Qingyu?"
Han Xunzhen sneered when he heard this: "Qiu Qingyu is worthy of setting up..." He just turned his head and said, "Fuck, why is Qiu Qingyu here?"
