Liancheng is also very annoyed by these customers who don't play by the rules.
But now they really have no way to deal with the girl.
First, they were admitted through a fair and open assessment.
Second, the girl missed the ability test due to her own negligence.
After all, they are right.
Now that the truth talisman has been discovered, the situation has become very awkward.
Nan Xu scolded Qing Teng a few words and managed to calm the situation down, but it was not a good idea to test the girl again.
When the ancient pagoda was sealed and surrounded layer by layer, the major sects finally came to inquire.
The first sect to arrive was not the nearby Hongmei Sect, but the farthest Beidou Sect.
The old cripple had changed into a Taoist robe. Although he was still skinny, he had a more immortal aura. He came over with a group of disciples. After entering the awning, he bowed to Nan Xu, who was sitting at the head of the group, and said, "Elder Nan, it's been years since we last met. I hope you are well."
"You are... Yang Xiao?!" Nan Xu received a message two days ago saying that the leader of Beidou Sect who had been missing for many years had finally returned, and was asking people to take inventory of the assets that Beidou Sect had deposited with Xuanzong over the years and prepare to return them. However, he never expected that the young man who was full of glory in the past had turned into a skinny old man.
The old cripple, also known as Yang Xiao, nodded with a wry smile, and explained with a heart full of emotion: "I have been harmed by villains over the years. I am lucky to be able to save my life now. Elder Nan, don't worry about it."
Nan Xu had heard about his experience and couldn't help but sigh, "Do you have enough energy to run the affairs of Beidou Sect now?"
Apart from the Beidou Sect's overwhelming combat power, the entire sect is full of idiots. Now that they have finally welcomed back a sect leader, he has become old, weak and sick. She is really worried about them.
Yang Xiao was very optimistic. He smiled cheerfully and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Elder Nan, for your concern. However, I have my young disciple, Yao'er, to help me. I will let him take care of the business from now on. I am relieved."
"Little disciple?" Nan Xu had met many people from Beidou Sect over the years and was not familiar with the youngest's name.
Yang Xiao couldn't wait to call out from behind, "Little boy, come out and meet the elders. Don't be impolite."
The tone is intimate, like that of a son.
Xuanzong and his men were a little curious. They looked over and saw a tall and thin young man walking out from among a group of burly disciples.
When she saw his face, Nan Xu, who was sitting in the main seat, was stunned for a moment. "You came to the assessment with Ye Lan and Wu Heng that day..."
"Greetings, Elder Nan. It's me." The youngest grinned and bowed. A glimpse of the girl at the end of the seat occurred to him, and a sly flicker crossed his eyes. He raised his voice and said, "Master and I met in distress together, and were later both rescued by Ye Lan. She is our great benefactor."
benefactor.
Everyone who didn't know about this twist was stunned, but seeing Yang Xiao nodding as a witness, they had to believe it. So they looked at the cold girl again, thinking that her identity was becoming more and more explosive.
After exchanging greetings, both sides sat down, but the youngest squeezed next to Ye Lan.
"How's it going? Have you been having a good time in Xuan Sect these days? I've had a very comfortable life in Beidou Sect, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks all day long. Look, I've gained weight." Xiao'er pinched his gradually puffing face as if he were presenting a treasure, and explained everything to her in detail. "I only found out the other day when the account book was delivered that our sect is so rich. The estimated value of the assets is more than the entire sect can spend in ten lifetimes. If you want to come to Beidou Sect, Lao Guaizi said that the position of the eldest disciple is always reserved for you."
After hearing his chatter, before Ye Lan could reply, the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared elders of Xuanzong present were speechless.
“…”
I've seen poaching, but I've never seen it so blatant.
"Little girl, don't be rude." Yang Xiao, who was sitting in the first guest seat, warned, but his tone was slow and not harsh. He even nodded at the girl and added, "Miss Ye, he is right. The door of Beidou Sect is always open to you. We all welcome you very much."
Xuanzong Elders: "..."
Even though I've known for a long time that the Beidou Sect is a group of idiots with no wits about them, I'm still speechless every time.
However, seeing that all the members of Beidou Sect respected the girl so much and were willing to welcome her back to their own sect as long as she nodded, everyone in Xuan Sect couldn't help but change their views on Ye Lan and no longer dared to test or neglect her easily.
After all, Beidou Sect and Xuanzong are of the same blood, and Beidou Sect is now Xuanzong's most capable right-hand man. The two families cannot have any rifts.
Now that Ye Lan had this backer, even if he made a mistake, Xuanzong would have to think twice before deciding how to deal with him.
Fortunately, other sects arrived soon and eased the awkwardness of the scene.
There are numerous sects in the ancient martial arts world, but only seven of them are truly powerful enough to be called schools.
At this time, those gathered in the guest seats under the awning were all big figures at the level of leaders or elders of major sects.
"Elder Nan, my master is still in seclusion. This happened suddenly so I have to come here. I'm sorry." The elder of the Hongmei Sect nodded and explained. His thin robe and charming smile made it hard to imagine that this was a sect that loved assassinations and could kill with poison in ten steps.
"It's alright, I just learned about this. I felt we couldn't delay any longer, so I urgently called you all here to discuss this." Nan Xu shook her head. Although the sect currently lacked a patriarch, the Xuan Sect's heritage still allowed her to secure her position as leader. "I'm sure everyone has heard about the appearance of the Silkworm Beast. This ferocious beast is extremely difficult to raise, and can only be nurtured in damp graves..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood immediately.
"There are no mass graves in the Ancient Martial Realm, so someone must have brought the Silkworm Beast Spirit in from the outside world." A sect leader in the middle of the guest seats narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "There's a traitor in the Xuan Sect."
Ye Lan lowered his eyes and drank his tea quietly. He knew who was talking without raising his eyes.
The war in the ancient martial arts world had just subsided for a few months, and she, the clan leader, exploded and died. It was a good time to take advantage of the situation. All the major sects were eyeing it covetously and wanted to take her place.
"That may not be the case. The matter has not been concluded yet. I have asked my disciples to investigate. This is not the focus of this discussion." Nan Xu also held a teacup and replied slowly.
However, the other party held on tightly, "How can it not be important? Such a heavy object as the ancient pagoda has always been guarded by Xuanzong. You actually let someone take advantage of it. Shouldn't you take responsibility?!"
After these words were spoken, except for the Hongmei Sect and Beidou Sect, the leaders of the other sects all nodded in agreement with this view.
Liancheng laughed angrily when he saw this.
"I say, it was Xuanzong who founded the sect along the ancient pagoda. If you want to blame someone, blame your own sect for not being born a few years earlier. Why are you blaming us here?" He crossed his legs, looked nonchalant, and directly hit the nerves of the other major sects with just one sentence.
"Elder Lian, are you belittling us with these words? Although Xuanzong is the number one sect in ancient martial arts, we are not to be trifled with." The sect leader slammed the table and stood up, his face full of anger, ready to explode.
Lian Cheng waved his hand, "Hey, don't use this as an excuse to attack us. Don't even think about it. Besides Xuanzong, who else can suppress the evil spirits in the ancient tower? If they kill us, you will also be killed by the evil spirits in the tower."
