The next day, Huan Yang slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and wondered why something felt off. Could it be that the brat from last night woke up and tried to assassinate him?
Hidden characters must be eliminated!
001: "Host, please don't have any wild thoughts, okay? Besides, he's a hidden figure! The original owner's disciple! Please don't have any dangerous ideas about killing him!"
"Tch." Pan Yang ignored him. "You mortals are not worthy to argue with me, the boss."
"Master."
Pan Yang looked towards the doorway, while Zhou Yang looked at the room with a worried expression, but a smile appeared in his eyes when he saw Pan Yang.
He ran up to Pan Yang in a few steps: "Thank you so much for yesterday, Master. Zhou Yang will definitely practice his magic diligently and will not embarrass you again."
Pan Yang looked at Zhou Yang and felt his vision was a little blurry. He blinked and it became clear. Strange.
Zhou Yang noticed Pan Yang's subtle movements and quickly went up to him: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Pan Yang shook his head, a few strands of hair falling down his neck and onto his slightly exposed collarbone.
Zhou Yang looked at Pan Yang, and the sunlight fell on him. Pan Yang didn't like to smile, so he always had a blank expression and always looked cold. This beam of light seemed to add a touch of warmth to his coldness.
Zhou Yang gently brushed aside her hair and helped Pan Yang straighten her clothes.
Pan Yang narrowed his eyes, watching Zhou Yang's every move.
"It was Zhou Yang who overstepped his bounds, please forgive him, Master," Zhou Yang said respectfully, bowing deeply.
Pan Yang: "..." I have a feeling this thing is up to no good! Sooner or later I'll have to secretly kill it behind the system's back.
Pan Yang stood up and gently patted the spot Zhou Yang had just tidied: "If there's nothing else..."
"Master, Zhou Yang has a request."
"..." No, I just wanted to get rid of you.
"I want to join the Forest Trial. I want to hone myself so that one day I can fight against the demons with my master, instead of being like yesterday."
That's it! Well, that's hard to say!
"No problem, you can go now." It's okay if you don't leave, I will.
After finishing his sentence, Pan Yang left the room and went to lie down somewhere to sunbathe.
After everyone learned that Zhou Yang had woken up, they were all relieved and focused on attending classes and practicing their spells.
Lin Lin'an also gathered several of his fellow disciples from the Qingfeng Sect to discuss their plans.
"The demons breaking the seal ahead of schedule is definitely not a coincidence. Back then, Master and the various sects of the immortal realm worked together to seal it; logically, it shouldn't have only lasted 50 years," the fourth senior brother spoke first. (Ahem, too lazy to come up with a title, so please bear with it.)
"The leader of the Wujian Sect has already sent people to investigate, and they should find out soon. A great battle is bound to break out sooner or later, I just hope it won't be this time..." The second senior brother didn't finish his sentence.
Lin Lin'an sighed: "Pan Yang, have you met Xiahou Zhi before?"
Pan Yang shook his head, wiped the unknown wild fruit in his hand, and took a bite.
"That's strange. When Master was around, protecting Fifth Junior Brother was the top priority. Logically, the Demon Clan shouldn't know about you." Third Senior Sister frowned and swatted away a wild fruit at Pan Yang: "Don't eat random things."
"So what if I know?" Pan Yang watched as the group secretly took out another wild fruit. "Am I afraid of him?" He looked at his third senior sister warily, thinking, "Don't even think about touching the boss's fruit!"
“Junior brother, he knows you don’t care, but do you remember what Xiahou Zhi said? His words clearly indicated that he was going to deal with you, if anything happens to you.”
"What if I make a mistake?" Pan Yang took a bite of the last piece of fruit: "There can be no mistake."
"You have no idea how formidable Xiahou Zhi is."
Pan Yang was so tired of hearing this that these people were worrying too much. He simply turned around and said, "Don't worry, the big boss isn't that easy to kill."
"What? What big shot? Pan Yang! Jiang Pan Yang!" Third Senior Sister was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Lin'an helplessly stopped her: "Pan Yang should know his place."
Soon the day of the trial arrived. Originally, Pan Yang was not planning to go, but a certain system went crazy and said to protect the hidden character.
Pan Yang resisted the urge to kill the hidden character and went along.
A group of people entered the trial and were greeted by rows of tall trees.
Because of the restrictions surrounding the trial, the entry point is completely random.
Pan Yang looked around at the scene and heard a mighty, surging sound, like ten thousand horses galloping.
Pan Yang sensed something was wrong and jumped onto a high tree branch, where he saw a group of bull-headed, tiger-bodied creatures rushing towards him in a long line.
Pan Yang stared at the group of demonic beasts.
001: "Please go and find Zhou Yang to ensure his safety."
Pan Yang: "Do you believe I'll jump off here?"
001: "Host, I will not accept your threats!"
"Heh." How could a big shot threaten someone!
It took about an incense stick's time for the group of magical beasts to run away. Pan Yang jumped down from the tree, almost losing his footing for some reason. He quickly looked around and saw that no one was there.
This dense forest trial, just like its name suggests, is entirely composed of endless trees and some magical beasts. It usually only opens once every ten years, and if it weren't for the descent of the demon race, it would probably have to wait another three or four years.
Pan Yang walked slowly for about two or three hours, but apart from the group of monsters he encountered at the beginning, he didn't see a single monster or a human.
Pan Yang casually found a place to sit down: "It's not that I don't want to look, it's that I simply can't find it."
"Host, please find Zhou Yang," 001 said again. Waaah, Master, this host is so unreasonable!
"You're quite persistent. You saw him a few days ago, right? Say hello for me next time you see him," Pan Yang said expressionlessly.
001: "Host, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Okay, you don't understand." Pan Yang leaned against the tree, lost in thought.
"Help!"
Who? It's none of my business. The big shots never meddle in other people's business.
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
A boat? It can't be a boat drifting.
"The boat flies, the sword is caught!"
"..."
Resigned, Pan Yang got up and followed the sound.
Wow! That's exciting!
A group of furry children were surrounded by a pack of wolf children.
Zhou Yang had just pierced the belly of a wolf with his sword when he saw Pan Yang and exclaimed with joy, "Master! Master, be careful!"
Pan Yang dodged a wolf's pounce, casually took something out of his spatial storage, and threw it up without saying a word.
A bright red brick knocked a wolf unconscious.
004: ?! Why the hell do you have a brick?!
Perhaps growing impatient with the dawdling, Pan Yang flicked his wrist, and several white lights flashed around him. The innermost pack of wolves suddenly froze in place, blocking the attacks from the wolves behind them.
As soon as Fan Yang shook hands, blood instantly erupted.
The wolves behind were stunned when they saw this, then turned and ran.
001: "Host, why aren't you using your white sword anymore?"
"Guess." You dog system, you're trying to trick me into revealing information, aren't you?
Zhou Yang ran over, still covered in blood: "Thank you, Master."
Pan Yang nodded and looked at the group of people on the side, including some unfamiliar faces. Jiang Meishuang and Jiang Zhouyu were not in the group, but Jiang Feng was.
Jiang Feng noticed that Pan Yang's gaze was somewhat awkward, so he bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Immortal Venerable."
"You're thanking me too soon," Pan Yang blurted out.
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded. He looked at the aloof Pan Yang and then at Zhou Yang, who was giving Pan Yang a sweet smile. Hiss! This master and disciple pair was so creepy. He quickly stopped looking at them and started cleaning the blood off his sword.
