The villain always thinks I'm stupid

Ye Mingjue's face darkened when he saw the group of people holding his thigh for a long time without letting go, because he couldn't retreat, couldn't hide, and was almost swept away by the crowd.

He was very puzzled, he didn't even know these people, so why did these people pin their hopes on him?

Does he have a very kind face?

This is even more impossible. Usually, the expressionless appearance has already rejected people thousands of miles away. At this time, the brows are sharply raised, and the eyes reveal a faint hostility, which even more discourages a group of people who want to approach.

But these dizzy people just ignored Ye Mingjue's leg and didn't let go.

You can't cut them down with a sword, can you?Although Ye Mingjue really wanted to do this in his heart, it was a pity that all the elders were here, so he couldn't act rashly.

Bai Lian, who was three feet away from him behind his back, looked at his face, which turned green and pale for a while, and couldn't help snickering. There are thousands of ways to trick Ye Mingjue, no, it's easy to do. Here we go.

He just stood there without saying a word, admiring Ye Mingjue's powerless expression, but before admiring it for a long time, an elder couldn't stand it, and immediately angrily reprimanded him: "Shut up! You're lying to fellow sects, ignoring discipline, undermining justice, and having vicious thoughts... ...Everything was done by you, so what qualifications do you have to be forgiven now?!"

He looked at Ye Mingjue, who was keeping his head down and kept silent, and he naturally thought that the other party was softening his heart, and a flash of appreciation quickly flashed in his eyes: "You guys are smart, I think Ye Mingjue is a good person and will help you."

"But self-inflicted crimes are unforgivable! Let me stand up and line up in a row, and I will personally push you away!"

Cultivator Jinlian showed his power, naturally terrifying, everyone withdrew their hands with ugly faces, and had to step back a few steps and stand in a row.

The crowd dispersed, and fresh air came in. Ye Mingjue breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, feeling alive again.

At this time, the elder also walked to his side, smiled and patted his shoulder: "Young people are really good, but remember that people can't be too kind, you need to have a bottom line in everything."

"..."

Listening to the elder's earnest instruction, the corners of Ye MingJue's mouth twitched when he relaxed just now, and he almost lost control of his expression.

Good people?Kind?

Who the hell is this talking about?

Obviously a row of question marks appeared in Mozun's heart, but he nodded stiffly to admit it: "...Thank you, elder, for your guidance."

The elder left satisfied, followed by a row of long tails that trapped their wrists with spiritual power. All the monks attending the meeting could not avoid it. Only Bai Lian stood there with a relaxed expression, not at all implicated.

Someone gritted their teeth and immediately reported: "Elder, why is Bai Lian okay? He poisoned three or four people!"

Hearing this, the elder immediately set his eyes on Bai Lian, remembering that Ye Mingjue had mentioned that there were their undercover agents here, and subconsciously looked at Ye Mingjue.

Ye MingJue nodded to him, indicating that his thinking was correct.So the elder snorted coldly, and glared at the person who made the report: "Take care of yourself first, let's go!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, but they only knew that it was Ye Mingjue who gave the elder the secret signal, and the elder didn't pursue it, so they all thought that it was the elder who let Bai Lian go for Ye Mingjue's sake.

...Obviously everyone is a criminal, but one person is at large.

Everyone was sour and jealous in their hearts, they stared at Bai Lian one after another, scolding Bai Lian for playing tricks.

But Bai Lian raised her innocent face, blinked her eyes, and tilted her head in doubt: "Huh? Are your eyes cramped?"

After finishing speaking, he also earnestly asked: "Eat more good tonics, look at the brothers, everyone's faces are crooked."

Everyone: "..."

Looking at Bai Lian, who was shining with kindness and entrusted them to eat and drink well before going on the road, everyone was so angry that they couldn't get up and down, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.

There is a high probability that it will be impossible to vent their anger from Bai Lian, so they turned to stare fiercely at Ye Mingjue, each and every one of them eager to go up and take a bite.

Ye Mingjue:?

Who did he provoke?

Ye MingJue felt that he was very innocent, but on the surface he was extremely calm, his expression was as usual, and he even had a faint urge to pull out his sword and goug their eyes.

Fortunately, the team left soon, so he suppressed the killing intent in his heart, turned to look at Bai Lian: "It's over."

"The culprit is still not caught." Bai Lian stretched her waist with a smile, "But that's not something we should worry about."

"How is it?" After everything was over, Bai Lian happily started to show off today, "The problem will be solved immediately according to the method I said, am I very good?"

Ye Mingjue clearly disliked his smug expression the least, but today he felt particularly tired physically and mentally, so he nodded perfunctorily: "Well, you are amazing, you are amazing."

Bai Lian looked at his expression, and suddenly extended her palm generously to him: "Here."

Ye Mingjue looked down, a question mark slowly popped up above his head, seeing Bai Lian urging him to shake his arm, he slowly put his right hand on it.

The moment the palms were clasped, a tender and numb feeling was transmitted from the fingertips, which surprised both of them at the same time.

At the same time, the heartbeat accelerated half a beat, and a strange electric current faintly burst out from the eyes that were looking at each other.

Bai Lian was the first to react, and quickly shook off his hand: "Why are you shaking my hand?"

Seeing Bai Lian's lowered eyes as if pinching the right hand that had been taken, Ye Mingjue gradually woke up from the trance state, and his face was slightly hot: "It was your hand that was stretched out first."

"I mean rewards, rewards!" Bai Lian gave him a slight look with those peach blossom eyes, "Since I successfully solved the problem, there should be some rewards."

Ye MingJue frowned: "I've never heard of it before, not to mention I put in a lot of effort this time, according to what you said, you should reward me too?"

Bai Lian lowered her eyes, feeling the residual warmth of her fingertips, she really didn't refute: "...It's not impossible."

His voice was so soft that he almost didn't pronounce it. Even Ye Mingjue could only hear two intermittent syllables, so he couldn't help asking: "What did you say?"

However, Bai Lian put down his palm, and his face returned to his usual smile, as if the slightly abnormal self just now was just a hallucination.

However, another topic was discussed: "What do you think this competition will become?"

Remembering that half of the disciples were poisoned to the end, and a small half were arrested after poisoning, Ye Mingjue was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.

The competition has become like this, and there is no way to continue it. The elders announced the suspension of the competition, and it was suspended for three days.

Part of it is to track down Liu Youtu who tricked everyone into poisoning, and part of it is to have a headache about the progress of the next competition.

After all, this competition was held in the name of True Monarch Shenglian's return. Now that such a mistake happened, everyone was panicked, fearing that the True Monarch would punish them with his wrath.

But at this juncture, no one can stand up and suggest what to do next. After all, poisoned disciples cannot participate in the competition, and poisoned disciples cannot participate even if they are imprisoned. There are only a dozen or so people left, and there is no way to choose the winner fairly. .

At this time, the elder of the Bipolar Sect gritted his teeth and decided to personally inquire about the situation at the Yulian Gate.

Although there is a risk of angering Zhenjun Shenglian, if it continues like this, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

So the elder of the Bipolar Sect found Elder Hu overnight, and asked cautiously with a bitter face: "...I don't know what the real monarch thinks? Can Elder Hu reveal a thing or two?"

Elder Hu really had something to say. Two days ago, Bai Lian told him the solution to this matter in private. After waiting for a few days, he finally received the inquiry from the Bipolar Sect: "The ancestor is not here at this time. , but he did entrust me."

In the bright eyes of the elders of the Bipolar Sect, Elder Hu said leisurely: "Give the first place to the person who has made the most contributions, and don't be stingy with praise after making a lot of publicity. Remember to be righteous, do you understand?"

The elder of the bipolar sect suddenly realized, with a deep expression, he nodded slowly.

In the whole three days, Ye Mingjue didn't see Bai Lian, and when he asked someone, he only said that Elder Hu had something to do for Bai Lian, and he was not in Wuji Sect for the time being.

Ye Mingjue was full of doubts, but he didn't ask Elder Hu carefully, until three days later when the elders were about to announce the adjustment of the competition, he finally saw Bai Lian.

Bai Lian still had that gentle and jade-like appearance, and when she saw Ye Mingjue, she first showed a shallow smile, even Ye Mingjue didn't notice, her restless and impetuous heart suddenly settled down a lot.

"Where have you been?" He hurried over to ask Bai Lian, but he got a mysterious smile from Bai Lian.

"secret."

This was the first time he refused to answer Ye Mingjue's question. Ye Mingjue instinctively felt a little displeased, and stared at him for a while with a cold expression. After still not getting an answer, he also snorted coldly and pursed his lips angrily.

Suddenly, he glanced at Bai Lian's waist from the corner of his eye, and the originally good fabric seemed to be torn apart by his claws, with three scratches.

This kind of place cannot be scratched casually, Ye Mingjue was full of doubts, and became more and more suspicious of Bai Lian's whereabouts.

However, at this time, the elder of the Bipolar Sect had already stepped onto the stage, so he temporarily restrained his thoughts and raised his head to listen.

This competition is about whether he can get No.1 and whether he can get clues to the antidote. He attaches great importance to it.

And the elders of the Bipolar Sect came to the stage and spoke a bunch of comforting words, and then a bunch of long and short essays about infidelity. It wasn't until Ye Mingjue became impatient to hear that, that he officially announced: "...by the elders After discussing, it was decided that the competition will end here, and those who have poisoned in the door will lose three points, and the rest of the points will remain unchanged."

"The last remaining disciples are tied for No.2, and No.1 is the chief..."

Having said that, he raised his head, his eyes gradually swept across the expectant eyes below, and finally fell on a pair of calm eyes, with a smile on his lips: "——The person who has made the most contribution to arresting the prisoner this time will be in charge."

"Therefore, the winner of the first duel in the north-south competition is—Jade Lotus Gate, Ye Mingjue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pairs of eyes fell on Ye Mingjue. Ye Mingjue's appearance was outstanding and his strength was extraordinary. Almost everyone knew his name on the first day.

But the result of the first place in the duel match was beyond anyone's expectation.

Ye MingJue originally just stood there casually, and even wanted to go back to meditate a little bored, but when he first heard his name, he was startled.

"..." The brain went blank for a long while before finally regaining consciousness slowly.

No.1, just give it to him?

Don't need to rack your brains to win? ?

It's really... an unexpected path.

He was pushed onto the stage by his colleagues amidst the discussion of the crowd, and Bai Lian's encouraging smile could still be seen before he took a step forward.

It wasn't until standing next to the elder of the Bipolar Sect and looking at the fiery eyes of countless disciples of the righteous way below that he faintly felt that this honor...was not good.

The elder of the Shuangji Sect was still eloquently praising his deeds: "If Daoyou Ye hadn't stepped forward and led us to find the murderer, this case would not have been resolved so quickly. In other words, the biggest credit for this competition is his .”

The elder stroked his beard in satisfaction: "Ye Daoyou is very powerful at a young age, and has a keen eye. He is really a rare talent. Back then, Zhenjun Shenglian personally bestowed such a title on a disciple who had found out information about the Demon Sect: "The Righteous Way" Light!' Therefore, the old man thinks that this situation is quite appropriate now."

"It just so happens that this competition is entrusted to True Monarch Shenglian. Why don't I borrow flowers to present Buddha, and make my own claim, and bestow the honor of 'Light of the Righteous Dao' to the one who deserves the most credit this time, Daoist Ye? What do you think?"

Ye MingJue: ...This is unnecessary.

For a dignified demon to be crowned with such a good name by the righteous way is almost like killing him. Ye Mingjue's eyes twitched wildly, and he refused frantically in his heart.

However, it is useless, because this has already been discussed by the elders.

"It's wonderful, the old man agrees!"

"The light of righteousness, this reputation is just right for Fellow Daoist Ye, and I agree."

"You Daoist Ye is the hope of our righteous way, this title is just right for him."

Thus, Ye Mingjue's feeble resistance was blocked by a few words, and he couldn't say anything at all.

"..."

His eyes became colder. Looking at this group of hypocritical elders, he also understood that this was to push him out, and he took the No.1 throne in a legitimate way, which made people convincing.

Even if he disobeyed, everyone's eyes would turn to him, and these elders lightly got rid of everyone's criticism.

Oh, what a good way.

Ye Mingjue was sarcastic and disdainful in his heart, thinking that if he pretended to be modest, he would just refuse this position, then the trouble would be kicked back to the elders, and he could still get a reputation of being modest and retire.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the elder suddenly took out a small treasure box from his storage bag and introduced it loudly: "This is the treasure specially prepared by Zhenjun Shenglian for the chief." One of them, now give it to the Light of Righteous Path as a reward!"

Opening the treasure chest, the purple fruit inside immediately wafts a strange fragrance, which is dazzling and dazzling.

Everyone was surprised and envious, the elder triumphantly explained: "This is one of the five treasures in the world, the crescent moon fruit. Eating it can not only increase your cultivation, prolong your life, but also greatly benefit your understanding. It is a rare treasure. .”

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Ye MingJue, whose eyes were straightened: "You Daoist Ye, do you want to accept it?"

Ye Mingjue: "..."

The dignity of the Demon Lord and the hypocritical conspiracy were all thrown aside, Ye Mingjue immediately returned the salute with both hands, his eyes bright: "Thank you, elder, for giving me the treasure!"
