Wearing Books as a Demon

It was a long and cold night.Yaobai stayed up all night, standing in front of the window with his sword in his arms, watching, wondering what he was thinking in the boundless night.The heavy atmosphere even brought Ying Changlou up all night.

Early in the morning, everyone was busy arranging the birthday of the head, Ying Changlou felt tired and dizzy.All outside disciples can participate in this competition.

By noon, everything had been arranged.

The inner disciples stood in the front row, and the outer disciples stood in the back row, with a distance of ten steps between them.Everyone stood respectfully, waiting for the master to appear, no one dared to whisper.

Only now can Ying Changlou catch his breath and take a good look at the inner door.Compared with the dilapidated and decadent inner door, this place gives people a new look, as if the eyes are a little brighter.

Although the clothes worn by the inner disciples were also white, it was obvious that the quality of the material was much better.What's more, these people don't have to do the grueling stuff.

While thinking wildly, a high-pitched male voice came out.

"Headmaster arrives—" the drawn-out ending seemed to be afraid that others would not hear it.

"Meet the head." Everyone fell to their knees immediately, and Ying Changlou's slow movements stood out in the crowd.

He suddenly felt a stare staring at him, which was not a good feeling.

"Get up." The leader Xie Tianji took the main seat, overlooking the crowd.His position was nine steps higher than the others, and it was easy to observe everyone's expressions.When his eyes fell on Yaobai's face, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

With the order from the head, everyone took their positions.They are all reserved and polite, and no one dares to make loud noises presumptuously.The whole banquet was not as lively as expected.

This meal was full of delicious food and wine that he could not usually eat, Ying Changlou felt that it was boring.His mouth was like chewing wax, and he hoped that the banquet would end soon.Yaobai was sitting on his right, with his usual calm face, his eyes would occasionally glance upwards, where the elder Zhang Shi was sitting.

Ying Changlou sensed the excitement buried in the heart of the person beside him, followed his line of sight, and inadvertently saw the head.I heard that the head of the sect is older than the elders, but looking at the faces of the two, it is the age of the head of the sect, and it looks like it is only about thirty.

This is rather odd.Xie Tianji's cultivation in the late stage of Bigu has not reached the level of immortality, how could he maintain such a young state.

An idea suddenly took shape in Ying Changlou's mind.The disciple who had been robbed of his youth they had seen in the alley seemed to have an explanation.Also, Zhang Shi didn't want Yaobai to enter the inner gate, probably because he already knew something.

"The next step is the competition within the sect. Today, there is no distinction between internal and external sects, and everything depends on strength." After the banquet, Zhang Shi stood up and said to the crowd, his eyes stayed on Yao Bai the longest.

As soon as these words were said, everyone became excited, and everyone was gearing up, wanting to punch.Although Yaobai didn't show it on his face, it could be seen from his clenched fists that he was also very excited.

Ying Changlou quietly moved to Yao Bai's side, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yao, do you still remember that ancient sword disciple?"

Yao Bai nodded slightly, "What do you want to say?"

"Brother Yao, don't you think the head's appearance is very strange, how can he be so young with his cultivation base?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Bai stared at him suspiciously.How advanced the master's cultivation is has always been a secret of the sect, and they don't know how far the master's cultivation has reached now.How could this man say such certain words?

"What do you want to say?" Yao Bai asked cautiously.

"Cultivators in the bigu period can only stop eating, and they can't stay old." Ying Changlou didn't notice anything wrong with Yao Bai, and continued.

"Bigu period?" Yao Bai murmured in a low voice, the smile on his face grew wider, and he understood what Ying Changlou meant just now.So he said, "You said that if we join forces, can we beat him?"

Ying Changlou frowned. Theoretically speaking, two-on-one is not a problem, but they don't know each other's real background, so it's hard to say in a real fight.

"Brother Yao, what do you want to do?" Ying Changlou was really not sure what the young man was thinking at the moment.

"I want to become stronger. If I'm always afraid, I might as well die in that village." Yao Bai smiled, inexplicably evil.

Ying Changlou suddenly realized and laughed too.Yaobai was never a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and enjoyed ease and comfort. He knew the old man's kindness in his heart.But as he said, becoming stronger is itself full of challenges and dangers.Rather than being afraid, it is better to fight with your life.

The place of the competition is a ring that they have already built, and the person who lands first will lose.An inner disciple will be the master, and other outer disciples will come to challenge.Being able to survive ten moves under the hands of the ring master is a pass.

Ying Changlou watched the outer disciples being kicked off the ring one by one without mercy, and finally it was Yao Bai's turn.

"The disciples of the outer sect have suffered a lot of injuries. If the competition continues, it may disrupt the normal operation of the sect. Why don't we just stop here?" Zhang Shi glanced at Yao Bai, frowning slightly, and said to the head sect.

"It's okay, I'll let them rest for a few days. The competition will continue." Xie Tianji categorically rejected the proposal, looking at Yao Bai with interest.

"Brother Yao, come on, I believe you will be able to enter the inner gate." Chen Ran said to Yao Bai who was about to play, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Chen." Yao Bai casually glanced at Chen Ran, then stared at Ying Changlou directly.

Ying Changlou nodded solemnly, compared his defensive posture, and then saw Yao Bai snorted coldly, not knowing what it meant.

The disciples guarding the inner sect were only capable of refining Qi, so naturally they were no match for Yao Bai.It didn't take ten moves, Yao Bai defeated the opponent.The ground suddenly boiled.

They didn't expect Yaobai to have such strength, they usually bully Yaobai in various ways, if this person enters the inner sect, they might not let them go.

Suddenly, some people in the crowd were happy and some were sad.Another inner sect disciple was replaced in the arena, and this time Yao Bai fought quickly and won the opponent.

Ying Changlou watched the young man stand proudly amid the cheers, raised his chin arrogantly, and smiled conceitedly at the corner of his mouth.The old man not far away shook his head slightly, the worry in his eyes getting heavier and heavier.

It wasn't until Yaobai defeated the fifth player on the stage that the head of the gate opened his mouth.

"I didn't expect my school to be such a talented young man. It's eye-opening." Xie Tianji said loudly, showing a very satisfied smile, "From now on, you will practice with me, and you will have a bright future."

"Thank you, Sect Leader." Yao Bai knelt down on one knee, his eyes full of youthful pride.

Entering the inner sect and being accepted by the head are two different concepts. Yao Bai originally wanted to work hard step by step in the inner sect, but he did not expect to worship under the head of the sect so smoothly.From now on, he will be able to learn those sword skills that were once impossible to ask for.

And, instead of being sneaky, be aboveboard.

The sect leader seems to like Yao Bai very much, he has been praising Yao Bai non-stop, and even intends to make him the chief disciple.The others were all amazed, if they were ridden on their heads by a boy from the outer sect, what face would they have in the future.

"Sect Master, the whereabouts of the traitor Sun Xi has been unknown, why don't you wait until you find him before making a senior disciple." Second disciple Lin Fei said respectfully.Originally, Sun Xi was expelled from the school, so he was the best candidate for the first disciple.But the head of the sect didn't stand up for a long time, and now he was going to be snatched away by a kid who ran out halfway, so he was naturally not reconciled.

Zhang Shi also agreed with this proposal, "Senior brother, the establishment of a person is a major matter of our sect, and it needs to go through various assessments, so as to avoid the incident of Sun Xi again and waste the effort of the head."

The others echoed the elder's wishes one after another, and finally let the head of the house agree.

Yao Bai watched the position that was at his fingertips being lost just like that, his clenched fists made a rattling sound, and he looked at the old man with hatred in his eyes.

"Brother Yao, there are many things in the inner sect that we don't understand. It's better to follow Elder Zhang's advice." Ying Changlou persuaded in a low voice, "Elder Zhang is always for your own good."

Yao Bai bit his lip tightly, his eyes were slightly red.
