Rivals don't play cards according to routine

In a blink of an eye, it was the annual recruiting day of Beimingzong. Due to the situation of the meeting, there were many more disciples who came this time than before.Correspondingly, Bei Mingzong's strictness in recruiting new disciples has gone up to a higher level, but because Yu Fei and Zhou Wei who were in charge of recruiting did not return, Han Lin handed over the matter to the disciples of Qinmintang.

Originally, everyone had no hope for Zhou Wei's life, and the head of the Law Enforcing Hall was considering changing the first disciple.Unexpectedly, I received a letter from Yu Fei not long ago, saying that he has found Zhou Wei, but something happened on the road and he will have to wait for a while before returning.

Zhou Wei is still alive, this news is good news for everyone.For this reason, the Law Enforcement Hall maintained the identity of Zhou Wei's eldest disciple, and even Han Lin was a little relieved.

Compared to everyone's joy, Xiao Junyue who received another letter from Yu Fei was not so optimistic.In that different letter, Yu Fei told Xiao Junyue about Zhou Wei's amnesia, saying that he was bringing Zhou Wei back, but on the way, he had to help Zhou Wei recall the past, and the schedule was very slow.

In the letter, Yu Fei also briefly mentioned the scene when he met Zhou Wei, and Xiao Junyue was full of doubts.Li Chong's words that day told Xiao Junyue vaguely that Zhou Wei was in the hands of the monster clan, but now Yu Fei found Zhou Wei who was trafficked to an inn thousands of miles away.Yu Fei can't lie, it must be Li Chong who did something wrong.

Zhou Wei's hands were stained with the blood of the demon clan, Xiao Junyue didn't believe that Li Chong would let him go easily.But now that the person really came back, Xiao Junyue frowned, his eyes fell on the word amnesia, and he felt vaguely uneasy.

"Li Sheng from Qinmintang is one of us..."

Li Chong's voice suddenly flashed in his mind, Xiao Junyue pressed down the letter in his hand, and felt that it was necessary for him to find Li Sheng from Qinmintang.He didn't know much about Yaozu's situation, and this Li Sheng was the key to help him open the gap.

"Senior Brother Li is in charge of recruiting new students today. If Junior Brother Xiao is in a hurry, you can go to the outer door to find him."

Xiao Junyue first went to Qinmin Hall to find someone, but unexpectedly came to nothing, and was told that Li Sheng was in charge of recruiting new people today.The senior brother who dispelled the confusion had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, Xiao Junyue had a thought, chatted with the other party for a few words, and inquired about Li Sheng's situation in Qinmin hall.

This senior brother has a friendly face, and he looks like a good old man at first glance.Facing Xiao Junyue's question, he answered it patiently.

Li Sheng's status in Qinmintang is at an intermediate level. He is passionate and righteous, and he can do anything for his friends, so he is very popular in the hall.Whether it's a brother with high eyesight or a servant with a low status, he treats them equally, works both ways, and handles interpersonal relationships very properly.

Xiao Junyue had no impression of Li Sheng's appearance. In the description of this senior, he could barely outline the appearance of a man with long sleeves and good at dancing.In fact, there is no need to be surprised, Li Chong respects him as the demon king, and the people who order him are naturally not too bad.

New disciples are assessed in the outer sect, and the location of the assessment is the same every year.Xiao Junyue was no stranger to this road, and arrived at the place in a short while.The disciples who come and go for the assessment are not only newcomers, but also disciples from the outer sect.The brothers of Qinmintang were very busy, Xiao Junyue stood outside for a while, and noticed a tall man ordering the people below to do things in an orderly manner.

The man looked mediocre, and he didn't seem to be outstanding.Inexplicably, Xiao Junyue had a sense of familiarity with him, presumably because of that face, which he had seen before.

Recruiting was busy, Xiao Junyue didn't go to Li Sheng immediately, but stood outside and waited.A group of qualified new disciples were led to the inner sect, and when they passed by Xiao Junyue, a young man in white shouted excitedly: "Brother Xiao, is it really you?"

The boy's voice was clear and pleasant, instantly attracting countless attention.Li Sheng also stopped what he was doing and looked over in surprise.

Xiao Junyue was taken aback for a moment, he looked around and saw that there was no one around him, so he was sure that the boy in white was calling him.

The boy in white was very excited. He left the team and came to Xiao Junyue. He smiled brightly and said, "Brother Xiao, don't you remember me? I'm Chen Shaoning."

Of course Xiao Junyue did not forget Chen Shaoning, the youngest son of the Chen family in Baiya City.He didn't expect that the other party would appear in Beimingzong after more than a month.While maintaining a smile on his face, Xiao Junyue became more defensive.He secretly rejoiced that Ye Hanqi was retreating at this time, avoiding direct contact with Chen Shaoning.

"Brother Xiao left without saying goodbye that day. I searched for several days in the mountains but didn't see anyone. I was very sad. I knew it was my fault that day. I made that young master angry, and I walked away in a very rude way without giving him any attention. Apologize."

Chen Shaoning blamed himself very much. He thought about it when he went back that day, and felt that he had done something wrong, so he was ashamed to come to see Xiao Junyue.After waiting for a few days, he plucked up the courage to put down his face and apologize, but when he found that he was gone, he felt sad and lost.In Baiya City, he was a well-clothed and well-fed son, and it was the first time he was treated like this, so he would inevitably feel unbalanced.

And that day he saw clearly that the person protected by Xiao Junyue was weak and had no aura in his body, he was simply an ordinary mortal.Chen Shaoning knew that he lost to such a person, and the feeling of imbalance was even stronger.He secretly comforted himself in his heart, Xiao Junyue only took care of that person on a whim.

In order to be able to see Xiao Junyue again, Chen Shaoning promised his father to come to Beimingzong to practice.Although the Chen family had a high status in Baiya City, the head of the Chen family knew very well that if a small family like him wanted to live in troubled times, it was not enough to establish a foothold in one place.They need fresh, strong blood to make their family stronger.

And Bei Mingzong is the first choice of Patriarch Chen, he also mentioned it to Chen Shaoning before, but Chen Shaoning didn't want to come because he thought the mountains were high and the road was far away.This time he took the initiative to ask to come, but Patriarch Chen was so happy that he thought his child had enlightened, but he didn't know that he came to pursue someone.

Being stopped by someone in a large crowd is already very eye-catching, but as soon as Chen Shaoning's second sentence came out, it attracted all the attention.The disciples who didn't know the truth whispered and speculated about the grievances between the two.

Xiao Junyue frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased.If it weren't for Chen Shaoning's eyes that were as clear as a clear spring, he would have suspected that what he just said was intentional.

"I was wrong about what happened that day, so you don't have to take it to heart." Xiao Junyue said lightly, taking all the responsibility on himself, without mentioning Ye Hanqi.

Chen Shaoning felt sour when he heard Xiao Junyue's defense.

Xiao Junyue didn't want to entangle with him, so before he opened his mouth, he said: "Congratulations on passing the inner sect examination, I won't delay your time to go to Tsinghua Hall, please."

Xiao Junyue deliberately emphasized the word "you" to remind Chen Shaoning that there are still many people waiting for him.Sure enough, as soon as Chen Shaoning heard this, he stopped his thoughts of reminiscing about the past.He looked back at the group of people behind him, those eyes were either jealous, curious, angry, or envious... Chen Shaoning's spine felt chills from being stared at, and he realized that he had made a wrong choice while being excited.

Originally, they were all new disciples who had just entered the sect, but now there was an essential difference.The conversation he had with Xiao Junyue just now was enough to make him stand out from this group of people and become an outlier among them.

Because Chen Shaoning disturbed his interest, Xiao Junyue got up and left without staying at the outer door for long.Before leaving, he saw that Li Sheng was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, so he knew that he couldn't have a chat today, so he just didn't go there.

The recruiting of disciples lasted until the evening. After Xiao Junyue came back, he stayed in the courtyard to refine medicine. More details about the recruiting of disciples were told to him by Rong He who came to visit.Among them, there is news about Chen Shaoning.

It's not that Rong He paid more attention to Chen Shaoning when he heard what happened outside today, on the contrary, he didn't even know who Chen Shaoning was.As for why he told Xiao Junyue about Chen Shaoning, it was because Xiao Junyue was involved in what this young man said in Tsinghua Hall.

"When those elders were selecting disciples, Chen Shaoning rejected an elder's invitation, saying that he wanted to worship you as a teacher. In fact, this person is very talented, and it is more than enough to be a disciple of 24 generations. The head was a little surprised and asked him why he wanted to be you. disciple. He said that you have saved his life, and he wants to repay you."

Rong He sat leisurely on the reclining chair in the yard, talking to Xiao Junyue about the gossip he had heard.Tsk tut in my heart, I don't know how Xiao Junyue hooked up with a pure and good little white rabbit in such a short period of time.

Xiao Junyue took a look at Rong He, and said: "If he really worshiped me as his teacher, he would be with me now, and it seems that he failed to worship me."

"Smart, although his reasons are very good, but in the end he was fooled by a few words from the head and went to Tsinghua Hall." Rong He originally expected that Xiao Junyue would have a different reaction when he heard that he had lost a chance to accept an apprentice. Who knew that he had a natural look on his face, as if Chen Shaoning should go to Tsinghua Hall.

"Aren't you surprised how the suzerain fooled him?" Rong He asked curiously.

"I think the suzerain is not fooling, but the truth. Chen Shaoning is a water spirit root, and I am a pharmacist. He can't learn anything from me. But the head is different. The head is an orthodox Taoist cultivator, and he is also a water spirit root. He You only need to analyze the power of it to Chen Shaoning, and Chen Shaoning will understand."

Xiao Junyue's explanation was roughly the same as what the head said. Rong He glanced at him in surprise, and laughed in a low voice: "Most of what you said is correct, but there is one thing that you definitely haven't thought of."

Xiao Junyue looked over with great face, and asked with his eyes what point he hadn't guessed.

"It's very simple, that is, this Chen Shaoning is not a disciple of the 24th generation, but a disciple of the 25th generation. The master tricked him into the Tsinghua Hall, but he did not accept him as an apprentice. His master is someone else, and this person It has a lot to do with you." Rong He smiled mysteriously, even a little gloating.

Xiao Junyue suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. There were only two people in Tsinghua Palace who had a close relationship with him, Yu Fei and Ye Hanqi.Yu Fei is not in the sect, and his sect has many disciples, the head of the sect will definitely not accept disciples for him.In this way, only Ye Hanqi was left.

"Don't tell me, his master is Senior Brother Ye."

Rong He nodded and said: "That's right, that's how the head of the sect decided to accept him as an apprentice instead of Senior Brother Ye."
