Crazy involution in male-oriented novels, my senior brother has set his sights on me

This also caused his attitude towards Chen Xu to cool down. It was not until Chen Xu gradually revealed his talent in kendo that An Zhengyuan completely accepted this disciple.

However, the four words "closed disciple" still became a taboo for An Zhengyuan.

Whenever it is mentioned, he gets a black face.

Of course, this dark face was not directed at Chen Xu. From the moment he completely recognized the other party, he completely classified the other party into his circle of protection.

An Zhengyuan felt ashamed every time he thought of his ugly behavior at the disciple-recruiting meeting and regarded that day as his black history.

The elder of Xuanling Sect was a little confused. He didn't understand why An Zhengyuan's face turned black when he praised the other party's disciple.

Lie Yan covered his eyes. He regretted it. If he had known the situation would become like this, he should have told other people about the gossip about the disciple-recruiting conference.

An Zhengyuan couldn't get angry either, after all, the other party was praising his apprentice, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's not bad, it's not bad."

Everyone else who wanted to say something also shut up.

They also saw that An Zhengyuan was not in a good mood at the moment, so they decided not to offend him at this time.

During this time, Si Li called out the names of several people one after another, and without exception, all of them were qualified. However, their cultivation was not as high as Chen Xu's, and they were all stuck at the threshold of the initial stage of foundation building, and they were all older than Chen Xu.

Chen Xu disdained to talk to these people. Even if the other party wanted to make friends with him, he would pretend not to hear him.

This situation did not stop until Lie Jiaoyang's name was called.

Everyone looked at the young master of Xuanling Sect, wanting to see if his strength was worthy of the position of young master.

Lie Jiaoyang patted his sister soothingly, who was even more nervous than himself.

Lie Jiaojiao loosened her hand that was tightly holding her brother's sleeve, and looked at the sleeve that was wrinkled where she was holding it. Her cheeks flushed a little, diluting the slightly pale face that had subconsciously turned nervous when she heard her brother's name just now.

Even though she knew that her brother would definitely be able to enter the Boundless Ocean, she still subconsciously got nervous for him when she saw so many people looking at him.

This situation did not ease until Si Li Nian announced the final result.

"Lie Jiaoyang, 22 years old, dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, top grade, foundation building stage, perfect, qualified!"

When the final result was read out, everyone's inquiring gazes turned into respect. As expected of the young master of Xuanling Sect, it seemed that Xuanling Sect had someone to carry on the legacy.

Chen Xu, who always looked down on people who were weaker than him and was jealous of people who were stronger than him, remained silent this time.

During these years in the sect, he had understood the difference between here and home. Although he still looked down on others, he always targeted those who did not have a family background and extremely high talents.

Faced with someone like Lie Jiaoyang who has a high status and protects him, Chen Xu would hide his jealousy in his heart, because the other party is not someone he can afford to offend.

Chen Xu also realized this truth from the lesson he learned at the disciple-recruiting conference that year.

After all, not everyone is like Long Mohan. Even if he is accepted as a disciple by the sect master, he can still be bullied because he is not liked.

After hearing the news, Lie Jiaojiao was completely relieved.

"Lie Jiaojiao!"

Lie Jiaojiao was no longer nervous when she heard her name. She walked forward briskly and placed her hand on the spirit stone.

The dazzling red light appeared, shocking everyone present. However, Lie Jiaojiao calmly completed the whole process.

Si Li was the first to react. After Lie Jiaojiao finished the test, he also shouted: "Lie Jiaojiao, 18 years old, single spiritual root of the upper grade of fire, late stage of foundation building!"

Lin Hao sighed in the audience, it seems that the brother and sister have worked hard in the past few years and their cultivation has improved rapidly.

The brother and sister didn’t know what Lin Hao was thinking, otherwise they would definitely shout: It’s because of you being so unrestrained that mother forced us two brothers and sisters to get involved as well!

Luo Zheng, who was sitting at the main seat, stroked his graying beard and said, "Huoyang, you have raised your two children very well."

There was some meaning in the words, and a gleam of light flashed across the line of sight blocked by drooping eyelids.

"Yes, my two children are quite talented. The future of Xuanling Sect will depend on them."

Lie Yan always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Luo Zheng's tone, but he was a thick-skinned person and couldn't figure out these twists and turns.

Every time this happened, he would miss his wife especially. Although his wife looked gentle, she could always hear the hidden meaning in these people's words.

He didn't understand, but Qian Baiyu next to him understood.

He covered his face secretly. No wonder his wife sent him a message to remind him to help at the critical moment and not let Lie Yan be killed by others.

It was obvious that Luo Zheng was targeting his two children to test him, but Lie Yan didn't hear a word.

Being targeted by the Tianji Pavilion could turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing.

For example, when the Tianji Pavilion first emerged 10,000 years ago, the cultivator with the Chaos Water Spiritual Root was targeted. Although the Tianji Pavilion simply calculated a divination and spread it out.

And on the surface, that divination seemed to have little to do with the cultivator, but the Tianji Pavilion took advantage of the greed in human nature, and ultimately tragedy occurred.

It is conceivable that being targeted by the Tianji Pavilion is not necessarily a good thing.

Although there are examples of people who have risen to great heights after being targeted by the Tianji Pavilion, most people still don't want to be targeted by them.

It’s not that no one has resisted, but the Tianji Pavilion has held high the banner of being the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, and he has been able to perfectly clear himself every time, so no one has been able to catch any handle on him so far.

Qian Baiyu then said, "This level of cultivation combined with talent is considered genius by most people, but for these two siblings who have enjoyed the best resources since childhood, it is a little bit lacking. Even Duoduo, a middle-grade spiritual root of my family, is about to reach the middle stage of foundation building. These two children have such qualifications but have not even broken through to the golden elixir stage. It is really not good enough."

The indifferent voice did not sound like a rescue, but rather a statement of fact, although Qian Baiyu was somewhat misleading. But the more such a tone was used, the more Luo Zheng's interest in the brother and sister would be dispelled.

Luo Zheng's eyes dimmed a little, but it was unknown whether he really gave up because of Qian Baiyu's words.

Seeing Luo Zheng looking away, Qian Baiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that she has completed what Madam Lie asked her to do, but Madam Lie is really a prophet.

Because Duoduo had offended Lieyan, she didn't even give him face when she went to plead for mercy. Qian Baiyu had no choice but to ask for help from Madam Lie, who only made one request, asking her to help Lieyan if he couldn't think straight one day.

And Lie Yan, this stubborn guy, really listened to his wife's words just as the rumors said. The next day after Qian Baiyu agreed, he started to forge a magical weapon for Duoduo.

The two of them didn't receive the undercurrent of anger, but instead complained in their hearts: Do you think everyone is as rich as you, Feihuafang? You can use spiritual stones to build a house!

Lie Yan really wanted to retort to Qian Baiyu, but he remembered that his wife had told him before he left that he should not refute Qian Baiyu no matter what he said.

Lie Yan swallowed his words back.

Everyone else remained silent. The eldest son Qing looked deeply at Luo Zheng, who was sitting at the top, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Even Yun Rao, who always liked to meddle in other people's affairs, chose not to say much this time.

"Yuan Rong!"

Yun Rao wanted to have some quiet time for once, but it seemed that God didn't agree.
