When the bell rang, the disciples who were answering questions in the square stood up one after another.
Gong Wenxiu waved his sleeves, and the papers fell into his hands.
Yan Ying stood at the exit and looked around. After a while, her eyes were fixed on Cen Ji, who was dressed in blue-gray cloth.
Cen Ji's hair is very black with curly ends, and his skin is white and translucent. Even though he is wearing coarse linen clothes, he still has a noble look.
Wu Lin also noticed the silence in the crowd.
"This kid is the only one among this year's new disciples with a single spiritual root. Regardless of his grades, he can enter the inner sect."
Ye Chenge glanced sideways at Wu Lin as he listened to his words. What was wrong with this guy? Was he saying that Cen Ji's grades and hard work weren't important, and that being admitted to the sect depended solely on talent?
"Cen Ji must have passed every test. He is very good." Yan Ying curled her lips.
Even when his spiritual roots were damaged, he could still knock her down and prevent her from using her spiritual power. He would definitely win tomorrow's competition.
"Silence!" Yan Ying jumped and waved her hands.
Cen Ji didn't see Yan Ying and walked towards the exit with a look of "keep away from strangers" on his face.
Wu Bai was very sharp-eyed. He noticed Yan Ying's dancing little hands at a glance, and then grabbed Cen Ji and took Cen Ji towards Yan Ying.
"Auntie! I've memorized all the questions from the test. When the test papers were handed out, I saw that the questions looked very familiar. I'm sure I can..."
"Cen Ji, how did you answer?" Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji with a smile, her eyes full of him.
Wu Bai held back the words he hadn't finished saying, blinking his big, bright black eyes at Yan Ying, then following Yan Ying's gaze to look at Cen Ji.
My aunt must have known that he could pass the selection, so she was worried about Cen Ji. If Cen Ji failed the exam, his spiritual roots would be wasted. It just so happened... he also wanted to know how Cen Ji answered.
"Very good." Cen Ji said softly.
The little devil really wanted him to enter the inner door. Once he entered the inner door, he could indeed be closer to her.
"That's good. It's worth it that I waited for you for a month!" Wu Bai smiled and patted Cen Ji's shoulder.
"Aunt, I answered very well too. I will try my best in tomorrow's competition." Wu Bai patted his chest and said to Yan Ying, take care.
"By the way, there will be a ring competition tomorrow. You must be careful, don't..." Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji hesitantly, what she wanted to say was don't hurt others. It's not a good thing to be too prominent, and unnecessary trouble is inevitable.
Wu Bai didn't know whether Yan Ying heard what he said. Her attention was all on Cen Ji and she ignored him completely.
"Wubai, you too, must be careful." Yan Ying turned her head and instructed Wubai.
"Yeah!" Wu Bai nodded with a frown.
He was just saying, how could my aunt ignore him.
"We will go to draw lots in the afternoon. Remember to inquire about the other side in advance and don't underestimate the enemy." Ye Chenge reminded from the side.
Previously, a disciple was knocked down because of underestimating the opponent, and he missed the chance to enter the inner gate just in the last competition.
"Okay, I'll remember it." Wu Bai nodded.
"They're all here."
When they heard the voices, they turned around and saw Shangguan Hong walking towards them with a smile.
"Cen Ji, Elder Meng wants to invite you, please come with me." Shangguan Hong looked at Cen Ji over the crowd.
Cen Ji lowered his eyes and replied "OK".
Shangguan Hong glanced at Ye Chenge, received a roll of the eyes, then turned around and walked away in boredom.
Cen Ji took a step forward to follow Shangguan Hong, but then retreated back to Yan Ying.
"I'll see you tonight."
"?" Yan Ying stared blankly at Cen Ji's departing back.
He just said what he said almost next to her ear, so no one around her heard it.
What was he doing with her at night?
......
Mengyuan Peak.
"You have to be smart when you meet the elders later, okay?" Shangguan Hong looked at Cen Ji and said coldly.
"Yes." Cen Ji nodded gently.
Clever? He didn't know what clever was.
"Once you enter the inner gate, you can no longer behave without rules like you did in the outer gate. You must be tactful in what you say and do." Shangguan Hong continued.
This Cen Ji will soon be her junior fellow apprentice, so she has to explain the rules to him in advance.
"Mengyuan Peak has strict rules, you must not act rashly..." Shangguan Hong looked at Cen Ji's silent expression, thinking that she was an honest person and listened to what she said. It would be worry-free for her to enter the inner gate.
Cen Ji did not respond and turned a deaf ear to what Shangguan Hong said. He did not care about the rules of the inner sect. In his opinion, only the outer sect disciples of Guiyun Sect were the most disciplined.
Shangguan Hong fell silent in front of a pavilion.
The pavilion is bright red all over, with three floors: upper, middle and lower. The four corners on top are pointed, and red silk and wind chimes are hung on each corner. Red gauze is also hung on the fence.
After Cen Ji looked at him, he lowered his eyes expressionlessly.
vulgar.
Shangguan Hong pushed open the door and gestured for Cen Ji to come in.
The inside of the house is just like the outside, with red decorations and utensils everywhere.
"Greetings, Elder Meng." Cen Ji bowed to the figure in the room with his back to him and said softly.
"Yeah." Meng Jiuyan turned around when she heard the voice.
"Are you Cen Ji? You look good-looking." Meng Jiuyan smiled with curved eyebrows.
Shangguan Hong stood beside Cen Ji and her eyes twitched. Her master had become too frivolous. The older the cow, the more she liked young grass.
"Thank you for the praise, Elder." Cen Ji said in a calm tone.
"It's time to call me Master." Meng Jiuyan said helplessly. She had a good-looking face, but unfortunately she was unreasonable.
"The disciple has not yet passed the selection."
"I, Meng Jiuyan, want a disciple who doesn't need to take those ridiculous tests, and you don't need to go to the competition tomorrow." Meng Jiuyan frowned, smoothing her hair, and said proudly. "Hong'er, let Senior Brother know later."
"Master, this is against the rules." Shangguan Hong winked at Meng Jiuyan. Good master, please don't make things difficult for her by talking big. Every time the master opened his lips, she would have to pay out of her own pocket to give gifts to the sect leader and ask for leniency.
"What's wrong with that?" Meng Jiuyan pretended not to notice Shangguan Hong's expression and turned away. "Hong'er, tell the disciples to go to the peach forest and move all his belongings to Mengyuan Peak."
Shangguan Hong looked as if she had lost all hope in life. This bandit's style really made him worthy of being her good master.
"Elder, there is no need to bother. It won't be too late to move after I pass the selection tomorrow." Cen Ji stopped him.
His spiritual roots were repaired half a month ago. Practicing in the Demon Realm does not rely on self-cultivation, so he only knew the attributes of his spiritual roots yesterday. The magic spiritual roots can practice illusions and bewitching techniques, which should be quite interesting.
In the entire Guiyun Sect, only Meng Jiuyan and Shangguan Hong have single charm spiritual roots, so once his charm spiritual root was discovered, Meng Jiuyan naturally couldn't sit still.
