Tuoba Qiongjin continued, "That little girl was carrying a powerful spiritual weapon. She participated in the inner sect competition, and then, during the competition, she took advantage of the crowd and suddenly detonated the spiritual weapon..."
Yuan Zhan was shocked and asked, "Doesn't she want to live anymore?"
Tuoba Jinjin said, "She also had a Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman on her body, which could instantly teleport her ten thousand meters away... But she made a mistake. Our Baishou Sect has a protective formation. All teleportation talismans can only be used within the sect's range and cannot be used outside. Even after she activated the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman, she was still within the range of our Baishou Sect... After that, she was arrested and interrogated. It's a pity that this little girl is not only a member of the Demon Sect, but also..."
Yuan Zhan asked curiously, "Or what?"
Tuoba Qiongjin shook his head and refused to say anything.
The flying boat landed at Tianjian Peak, and more than a dozen young men and women walked out of the room.
These were all mortals. Tuoba Qiejin went out on this business and stayed in the local area after finishing his work. He found more than a dozen promising cultivators and brought them back. He also saved Yuan Zhan on the way.
"Let's go, I'll take you to take the entrance test." Tuoba Qiongjin said, and took out a piece of white paper. The white paper grew in the wind and turned into a huge paper boat in the blink of an eye.
"Wow--" the youngest girl couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. She found that everyone turned to look at her. The girl stuck out her tongue and covered her mouth with her hands embarrassedly. Her eyes like black grapes blinked, making people unable to bear to blame her.
Everyone boarded the paper boat one by one. The little girl quietly asked her companions, "Why do we need to change paper boats? Can't we just use the flying boat to take us all the way there?"
The companion shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Tuoba Qiongjin heard the little girl's question, turned around with a smile, and explained, "Because the flying boat is too big, it will be inconvenient to park it later."
The little girl was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the elder's ears to be so good, and he also had a good temper. The little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, elder."
Tuoba Qiongjin asked, "What's your name?"
"Replying to the elder, my surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Mingzhu."
"Xu?" Tuoba Qiongjin was on a mission to the Great Xu Kingdom, where many people had the surname Xu. However, the girl had emphasized her surname, and Tuoba Qiongjin couldn't help but take a closer look at her. She was dressed elegantly, with lively and lovely eyes. She carried a natural arrogance that came from being in a high position for a long time. He asked, "Are you from the royal family of the Great Xu Kingdom?"
Xu Mingzhu nodded, her eyes curved into beautiful crescents, her voice soft and sweet, "I am the emperor's youngest child, the tenth, and I am fifteen years old this year."
Tuoba Qiongjin then noticed that she was surrounded by five men and women, so he asked again, "Do you know each other?"
"I am the fiancé of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I am the cousin of the Tenth Princess."
"I am your Highness's cousin."
These three are all royal relatives.
All members of the Xu royal family, regardless of whether they were princesses or princes, could enter the study room to study. The Tenth Princess had two young girls accompanying her. These two girls were much less beautiful than the princesses. One of them was a bit quiet and introverted. She stood behind Xu Mingzhu and introduced herself in a low voice, "I am your highness's study companion."
The other one, with heavy makeup on her face and brightly colored clothes, was overweight. She said, "I'm also a tutor."
There was also a taciturn man who said, "I am the guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Tuoba Qiongjin was speechless after listening to this. He had only selected a dozen people in total, and the princess, her relatives and subordinates took up seven places. Could it be that people with good talents always gathered together?
Tuoba Qiongjin said, "Before you take the entrance exam, I want to tell you something. Everyone has different talents. If you all pass the exam, it's best not to choose a mountain that's not suitable for you because of others."
This "others" naturally refers to the Tenth Princess. These people all respect the Tenth Princess. If the Tenth Princess joins a mountain in the future, these people may follow her.
"Yes, Elder."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."
Several people nodded in succession, but the tenth princess Xu Mingzhu seemed to know nothing and looked at the scenery outside the paper boat with an innocent face.
Tuoba Qiongjin thought: It seems that this little princess has a good temper and is not the kind of domineering person.
Yuan Zhan looked at Xu Mingzhu. Xu Mingzhu noticed his gaze, so she turned around and looked at him, giving him a friendly smile.
Xu Mingzhu is cute and has a baby face. When she smiles, she has two sweet dimples on her face, giving people the impression of a pure girl next door. But she also has an aura of dignity and pride. People can tell at a glance that she is a pampered rich girl. She is simple and cute, which makes people want to protect her.
But for some reason, Yuan Zhan felt that Xu Mingzhu and he were the same kind of people—
He is very scheming and good at disguise.
Yuan Zhan smiled gently, but inwardly he was thinking, "Xu Mingzhu's innocent expression must be fake."
Xu Mingzhu's mind was also full of thoughts at this moment. She looked at Yuan Zhan and thought, "This man has been treated well by Elder Tuoba along the way. He must be very talented..."
Then he thought again: "There must be many outstanding brothers in the Baishou Sect. They are already cultivators. Even if I want to curry favor with them, they may not look up to me. It is better to form a relationship with Yuan Zhan. He is highly regarded by the elders and has high growth potential in the future. Moreover, he is alone and has no one to rely on, so he needs to cultivate his own power. Although we joined the Baishou Sect mainly for cultivation, as long as there are people, there will be disputes. The better the talent, the more resources you can compete for, and then you will definitely infringe on the interests of others... This is when the importance of having companions is reflected. I have guards, tutors, and cousins around me, so we naturally form a force. If Yuan Zhan wants to gain a foothold in the sect, he will definitely need my help. As we get along more, our feelings will naturally develop. The only problem is that my fiancé is a bit of a hindrance..."
Xu Mingzhu turned to look at her fiancé.
The fiancé was tall and thin, with a handsome appearance. He looked very honest. His clothes were a little old, but clean. He was the son of a declining marquis's mansion. The mansion had become a shell by his time, and the family property had been squandered by the old marquis. However, this young man was very talented in literature, had good character, and was honest and loyal. When the Tenth Princess went out to burn incense before, she encountered danger, and it was this young man who passed by and saved her. The Tenth Princess had a brief crush on him, but soon lost the novelty and began to get tired of being with him. However, the two had already become an engaged couple, and without a suitable reason, the Tenth Princess could not get rid of him. So she secretly planned a "good show", letting her fiancé sleep with a famous ugly woman in the capital, and then let a group of people witness it, so that she could successfully cancel the engagement. Unfortunately, before she started, she met Tuoba Qiongjin. The Tenth Princess thought that she was the only one who had talent and could be chosen by the elders, but she did not expect so many acquaintances to be selected.
At first, the tenth princess was very unhappy. It was one thing for her cousins to be chosen, but why could her study companion also be selected based on his talent?
But on the way, she gradually realized that these people were her future "resources". Everyone had no roots when they came to a foreign country, so naturally the more acquaintances the better. It would be less likely to be bullied if they formed a group with more people.
As for the fiancé, he's a bit redundant...
