“In front of eldest martial aunt, this disciple would not dare to lie. However, this item is the same as the star inkstone. It has only appeared in extremely ancient books. Ordinary people would not be able to recognize it even if they saw it.” Yu Zhe made a solemn vow. The meaning was obvious. Other people couldn’t recognize this thing, but only this Lord could!
Nan Tianba’s heart was finally moved. After a moment of silence, he said,”Good, you follow second brother for the time being. If this Lord has time, I will personally give you some guidance. In the future, do a good job for this Lord. If you have any disloyal thoughts, you know what the consequences will be.”
“This disciple will obey!” Yu Zhe was immediately overjoyed. He had now secretly hidden a huge amount of Nan Tian Yong’s inheritance. If he could also obtain the southern Heaven Gate’s lesser formless divine skill and Nan Tian BA’s personal guidance, even if he didn’t have the star inkstone, he would still be able to soar into the sky in a single bound!
A month passed in the blink of an eye. The 16th round of the rookie Challenge competition officially began.
“F * ck, what is this woman thinking? does she really want to go against me?” Meng jueguang looked at Murong Zhen’s alluring figure from afar and gritted his teeth in hatred.
In the past month, Murong Zhen had been doing things in an orderly manner. He had been slowly challenging his way up from the last-ranked cave dwelling. His intentions were self-evident.
Whatever Lin Yi could see, he could too, but the problem was that he had to hold it in despite knowing what Murong Zhen was planning. It was a depressing feeling.
If Murong Zhen had gone to Lin Yi’s side right from the start, the situation would’ve been worse for Meng jueguang, but it wouldn’t have been so bad.
However, it was a good thing that this mystery would be solved in today’s round of the challenge. More than a dozen rounds had passed in the newcomer challenge, and it was now entering the final stage. The ranking of the cave abodes was gradually confirmed, and there wouldn’t be too many changes.
First was Lin Yi, second was Qiao hongcai, third was Xiao ran, fourth was Meng Tong, and fifth was Murong Zhen. These were the top five new disciples in the GreenCloud Pavilion.
As for the other strong fighter, Lee Zheng Ming, he did not reveal his strength as an early-stage foundation building cultivator in the past ten rounds. His cave was originally ranked second, but he wisely chose a roundabout strategy. He took the opportunity when another newcomer challenged him to admit defeat. Not only did he push himself to a lower-ranked cave to gain more room to challenge, but he also successfully bypassed the menacing Murong Zhen, killing two birds with one stone.
According to the current rankings, today’s newcomer challenge was the round that revealed Murong Zhen’s true intentions. The reason was simple-Meng Tong was above her.
In the previous rounds, the newcomers that Murong Zhen had challenged were all Meng jueguang’s subordinates in name, but they were not core members of the direct line. Meng Tong was different. He was a direct descendant that Meng jueguang had nurtured with all his might, and he was where Meng jueguang’s bottom line lay.
It didn’t matter if Murong Zhen challenged the other newbies, but if he challenged Meng Tong today, it would be the same as declaring war on Meng jueguang. From then on, she would be an enemy to Meng jueguang, just like Lin Yi. There was no turning back.
However, if Murong Zhen skipped Meng Tong and challenged Xiao ran, he would be expressing his goodwill to Meng jueguang. In Meng jueguang’s eyes, he would be one of his own that he could use.
Whether they were friend or foe, it all depended on Murong Zhen’s choice.
Before the battle, Meng Tong nervously asked Meng jueguang,”Ninth cousin, if beauty Murong challenges me today, what should I do?”
Although the meridian heart-shattering pill had been in place for a long time, Meng jueguang had deliberately prevented Meng Tong from using it. As such, he was still in the early Foundation establishment stage. On the other hand, Murong Zhen was at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage. There was no way he could defeat him.
“What do you mean what should we do? if she dares to challenge you, that means she’s our enemy. Fight her with all your might!” Meng jueguang snorted and looked at Meng Tong suspiciously.”I heard that this slutty woman has been taking the initiative to invite people to her wooden house to drink tea recently. Don’t tell me you’re one of them?”
“Ah? No! Definitely not!” Meng Tong quickly denied.
In this month, not only did Murong Zhen successfully make Lin Yi and Meng jueguang indecisive, but his position was also gradually stabilizing. Some of the new disciples under him were already starting to become fence sitters, the most obvious being the acceptance of Murong Zhen’s invitation to her so-called wooden house Tea Party.
Of course, it was a very pure tea Party on the surface. To put it bluntly, it was just to watch the coquettish woman Murong Zhen dance. Even if they could not taste any substantial benefits, it was still enough to make people salivate when they saw such a beautiful and enchanting woman in simple clothes and in all kinds of seductive poses.
Furthermore, the benefits of attending Murong Zhen’s Tea Party was not just a feast for the eyes. To the newbies at the bottom of the GreenCloud Pavilion, there were actually substantial benefits.
As it turned out, Murong Zhen had deliberately avoided all the newcomers who had been invited to the wooden hut Tea Party this month. Otherwise, she would not have been able to fight her way from the so-called cave abode number sixteen to cave number five in just a month.
The two newbies who had skipped in the middle had actually profited. They could not only feast their eyes at the wooden hut Tea Party, but also lose fewer challenge points in the crucial newcomer challenge. Why not?
However, this was not without its disadvantages. At least, when Meng jueguang saw that Murong Zhen had intentionally let them off, they had already been blacklisted. Even if they did not betray him on the surface, Meng jueguang would definitely come after them when the time came!
This was also the reason why even though Murong Zhen was so alluring, he was only able to attract two new recruits in a month. Although the others were also drooling, under Meng jueguang’s tyrannical abuse of power, many people had the heart to do so, but not many had the guts to do so.
“You really don ‘t?” Meng jueguang glanced at Meng Tong. This guy was his most valued younger brother from the direct line of descent. He would at most be annoyed if other newcomers were to be fence sitters, but if even Meng Tong had problems, then he, the eldest senior brother in charge, would become a commander with no power.
Meng jueguang did not doubt Meng Tong’s loyalty, but he could not compliment the latter’s intelligence. If Murong Zhen were to tease him a few times, something might go wrong. He had to be careful.
“I really didn ‘t! I’ll swear a poison oath, ninth older cousin brother, you can’t listen to other people’s slanderous words!” Meng Tong quickly made a vow.
However, he still felt a little guilty when he said this. When he first heard about Murong Zhen’s Tea Party at the wooden hut, he had really thought about it. If he was not afraid that the other newcomers would see it and Meng jueguang would hear about it, he would have probably sneaked into the house and attended the Tea Party.
