"No, the back door is tighter, you can do it without a condom..."
"Wait, what door are you talking about!"
It seemed like two people with a slightly off-kilter vibe had mixed into the crowd.
Alright, just ignore them.
"This Yun Family Young Master probably came here to feel superior."
"Don't rush, let's wait and see, maybe there's a surprise."
Passersby discussed among themselves, planning to observe.
"Yun, what is the meaning of this?"
Lin Zhongyu, standing in the Yun Family's line, felt a bit confused. She had also heard some whispers in the Yun Family's lounge today, saying that Yun Zhonghe and his Father were discussing something, perhaps this was also part of the 'play'.
But no matter what Yun Zhonghe did, Lin Zhongyu trusted him unconditionally.
"Young Master, he is protecting you."
Just then, Tao Jiu'er, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, suddenly leaned into Lin Zhongyu's ear and whispered softly.
"Eh?"
Lin Zhongyu was startled, her beautiful flashing golden eyes looking at Tao Jiu'er.
She had some impression of Tao Jiu'er, who seemed to be Yun Zhonghe's personal maid. She had encountered her a few times on the road before, but for some reason, it was always difficult for people to notice her presence. Even though she was there, it felt like she wasn't.
Tao Jiu'er grew up with Yun Zhonghe since childhood, how could she not know Yun Zhonghe's thoughts? She understood that Yun Zhonghe went to great lengths to gain Lin Zhongyu's favor, and as her, she should also help out a bit.
Let her also assist Yun Zhonghe.
Thus, after Lin Zhongyu learned many details she didn't know from Tao Jiu'er, wave after wave of ripples appeared in the depths of Lin Zhongyu's beautiful eyes!
...
Yun Zhonghe had no intention of telling Lin Zhongyu the purpose of his participation.
After all, his purpose this time was just to prevent Lin Feng from causing trouble. If Lin Zhongyu couldn't enter the Xuantian Sect, then the Sect plot would be difficult to unfold.
Although Yun Zhonghe also hoped to gain Lin Zhongyu's favorability, deliberately telling her these plans would make him, Yun Zhonghe, seem a bit pretentious and have ulterior motives.
Forget it, anyway, the favorability should be enough now, what's the harm in not trying to gain more this time?
Chapter Forty-Three: Huang Mao Is Still Chasing Me, TMD!
"What trick does this Yun Zhonghe want to pull again?"
Whenever Mu Jixue saw Yun Zhonghe, she felt that this guy must be up to something again, and the acupuncture points all over her body would subconsciously tighten.
Of course, Yun Zhonghe also noticed Mu Jixue's "ardent" gaze. He secretly thought it was a pity. If Mu Jixue knew that he personally participated for her childhood friend, would she be greatly moved and become sworn siblings with him?
Of course, this was just Yun Zhonghe's fantasy.
Yun Zhonghe cast aside distracting thoughts and temporarily stopped thinking about Mu Jixue. At the same time, he secretly clutched a tiny token in his sleeve.
It was a small token that was entirely blood-red, very small in size, only one inch long and half an inch wide. It was not easy to detect when held in the palm, and it also had the effect of concealing one's aura. Unless Yun Zhonghe's palm was pried open, the small token in his palm could not be detected.
This token was called the Spirit Concealment Token, a Low Grade Magic Treasure. This was what Yun Zhonghe borrowed from his Father at noon.
This was one of the Yun Family's treasures. Wearing it could conceal spiritual power and fake cultivation levels, and it was the kind that even the testing stone couldn't detect. However, it could only fake cultivation below the Golden Core Stage.
Yun Zhonghe needed to use this to cheat.
Wasn't Yun Zhonghe's cultivation level linked to Mu Jixue's? Now Mu Jixue had reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and such a cultivation level could put her among the top three.
Perhaps for others, the higher the cultivation, the better, but Yun Zhonghe didn't need it. He didn't want to become the arena master, as that way he wouldn't be able to challenge Lin Feng by name.
After all, currently Lin Feng had the highest cultivation, and the other two were at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment and the third level of Foundation Establishment respectively.
"Lowering the cultivation level too much is also not appropriate. Youyue Zhenren definitely knows that my cultivation has reached Foundation Establishment, so I'll fake it as the second level of Foundation Establishment."
With such a cultivation level, Yun Zhonghe felt it was just right, not lowered excessively, and wouldn't arouse suspicion.
So, after Yun Zhonghe adjusted, he began the test.
"Yun Zhonghe, talent level mid-Grade B, cultivation level Foundation Establishment second level!"
"Overall rating upper-middle!"
"Qualified!"
When Yun Zhonghe's results were announced, some people were surprised, while others didn't find it strange.
Those who were surprised wondered how Yun Zhonghe, who seemed to be only at the ninth level of Qi Refining not long ago, reached the second level of Foundation Establishment so quickly.
But those who didn't find it strange thought that with the Yun Family's vast wealth, even a pig could reach Foundation Establishment by piling up elixirs, so this was no big deal at all.
On the other hand, Yun Chongtian was slightly surprised: "This kid, he reached Foundation Establishment stealthily without telling me."
Although his words were harsh, he was quite happy inside, indicating that his son was indeed making progress.
Yun Zhonghe's test didn't cause much of a stir. In fact, many people felt that Yun Zhonghe's performance was simply making trouble for himself.
Lin Feng, standing in the Lin Family's line, also didn't notice anything unusual. He even let out a disdainful snort with great contempt.
Only Yun Zhonghe himself knew that this was just a prelude, and the main show was yet to come.
Since the Yun Family was the last aristocratic family to be tested, after Yun Zhonghe finished testing, the rest of the people also finished testing quickly.
In the end, there were fewer than thirty people who passed the initial test.
"Next is the final test! The rules are the same as before: the three people with the highest cultivation will be the arena masters, and the rest can challenge them freely. The winner becomes the new arena master, and the loser is disqualified! At the same time, the arena master also has the right to name challengers. After one hour, the three arena masters who are still standing on the stage will become the new Disciples of my Xuantian Sect."
After Youyue Zhenren briefly explained the rules, the thirty qualified participants, including Lin Zhongyu and Yun Zhonghe, rubbed their fists and palms together.
"Lin Family's Lin Feng, Han Family's Han Zifeng, Xiao Family's Xiao Feng, step onto the stage!"
After the three "Fengs" were called out, they all kicked off the ground and jumped onto the three arenas in unison.
Seriously, can the names in the cultivation world stop being so monotonous? Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Lin Feng, his heart surged. This matter was of great importance, related to the future of their lineage. He raised his spirits to the fullest to welcome this martial arts competition and made ample preparations.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, his gaze immediately locked onto Lin Zhongyu. Lin Zhongyu also noticed his eyes filled with hostility, but she wasn't afraid. She even glared back with the same fierce gaze.
Lin Feng sneered:
Hmph, quite arrogant, aren't you? Isn't it just because you attached yourself to that scoundrel from the Yun Family that you managed to turn your fortunes around by chance? You probably groveled to that guy a lot, didn't you!
Wasn't it good enough to be a timid waste for all these years? Why insist on forcing your way in? Since that's the case, don't blame me for crippling you again and making you completely give up!
Lin Feng's sneer gradually became ferocious. This time, he had made up his mind to strike ruthlessly, and had even taken the elixir his Father gave him in advance.
This elixir could allow Lin Feng to erupt with power far exceeding his own strength in an instant, and it wouldn't leave any residual medicinal effects in his body, making it difficult to detect.
However, it would also cause great harm to himself.
Although his Father instructed him not to use it unless absolutely necessary, wasn't this the time when their lineage was in dire straits? If he didn't use it now, when would he!
Anyway, on the arena, fists and feet have no eyes. It's normal to accidentally cripple someone, as long as you don't take her life.
"How pitiful, Xiao Yu, you finally climbed to heaven with great difficulty, but in the next second, you'll be kicked down to Hell by me. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of despairing expression will appear on your face~"
Lin Feng was secretly pleased, and his heart was even a bit dark and twisted.
How could these dark and evil thoughts not be detected by Lin Zhongyu? Even her Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes saw a few strands of abnormal spiritual power in Lin Feng's body, showing a blood-red color, like the Demon Path.
It seemed she had to make a clean break.
At this moment, Mu Jixue, who was far away on the high platform, also noticed the abnormality in Lin Feng's eyes. She had been paying attention to Lin Zhongyu, worrying about her. When she saw Lin Zhongyu and Lin Feng's eyes meet, she felt uneasy.
Combined with the series of farces that occurred in the Lin Family today, Mu Jixue instantly understood something.
"Not good! This guy wants to harm Xiao Yu!"
However, the protagonist being a beat slow seemed to be a common trope in every work. By the time she realized it, it was already a bit late.
"I announce, the final test begins now!"
Youyue Zhenren had already announced it, and Lin Feng immediately quickly pointed at Lin Zhongyu.
"Lin Zhongyu, do you dare..."
"I'll do it!"
However, before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden figure suddenly jumped onto the arena.
Lin Feng was startled, and Lin Zhongyu's heart also trembled slightly. Because she had been spoiled by Tao Jiu'er in advance, she knew that Yun Zhonghe would step in to help her, but when she saw Yun Zhonghe rush forward without hesitation, her heart still couldn't suppress the turmoil.
Yun Zhonghe was seen with his hands clasped behind his back. His posture was straight and tall, like a sharp sword stuck there, and like a proud pine tree, unyielding. It was as if even if the sky fell, he would hold it up!
His eyes were deep, yet sharp, carrying an air of disdain, as if a war god, looking down on Lin Feng.
This demeanor was eye-catching and also made people's hearts palpitate.
"Wait, I was the first to challenge Lin Zhongyu, what are you, Yun Zhonghe, doing jumping up first!" Lin Feng said angrily.
Yun Zhonghe! Yun Zhonghe! Why is it him again!
Lin Feng also finally felt the frustration that only Mu Jixue could feel. This Huang Mao seemed to always linger like a ghost, ruining good things.
Chapter Forty-Four: The Victim and Huang Mao Should Get Along Well
"What's wrong? The rules didn't say who speaks first gets priority. I'm already in, you can't possibly make me leave, can you?"
Yun Zhonghe smiled slyly. When he spoke, there was always that slow, indifferent tone, as if he didn't put his opponent in his eyes at all.
However, with his status, he could indeed look down on all the aristocratic family Disciples present.
Don't accept it? If you have the ability, reincarnate into the Yun Family too.
I am the Yun Family Young Master, I have the capital to be arrogant!
Lin Feng was so angry he almost choked. Yun Zhonghe's arrogance made him gnash his teeth. He was, after all, the one with the highest cultivation in this selection ceremony, and at the age of twenty, he had already reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. He was considered a small Genius on the Eastern Continent. Why should a mere scoundrel who reached Foundation Establishment by relying on medicine look down on him!
However, what he didn't know was that the more angry Lin Feng became, the more excited Yun Zhonghe was. It seemed his villainous nature was acting up. As long as the opponent wasn't part of the protagonist's group, he could act with complete confidence and boldness.
His long-suppressed nature could finally be unleashed. I'm going to have a blast!
"What's wrong? Could it be that you're even afraid of me, a small Foundation Establishment second level? Since you're such a coward, why are you even an arena master? I'll reluctantly show some mercy and allow you to roll down yourself. I won't bother with the effort."
Yun Zhonghe continued to mock wildly.
Lin Feng didn't want to pay attention to Yun Zhonghe. He only wanted to focus all his energy on dealing with Lin Zhongyu, ensuring that the lineage's plan was foolproof.
But Yun Zhonghe's words were infuriatingly annoying. He kept bouncing on Lin Feng's limit of tolerance. If one could see Lin Feng's attribute bar, his anger level would probably be close to overflowing.
How outrageous! How outrageous! Would he, Lin Feng, be afraid of a scoundrel?
Stop joking!
Lin Feng clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
There was no need to tolerate it anymore. Wasn't it just a Yun Zhonghe? The difference in cultivation between the two was a full three minor Realms, which was not something that could be easily bridged.
What's more, who knows how much moisture there was in Yun Zhonghe's Foundation Establishment second level.
Therefore, in Lin Feng's opinion, beating up Yun Zhonghe would not take any effort at all.
"Very good! Since you're seeking death, don't blame me for being impolite!"
When Lin Feng accepted Yun Zhonghe's challenge, the corner of the latter's mouth slightly curved upwards.
As expected, his brain wasn't working well. He succeeded in provoking him so easily.
It seems people in the cultivation world are easily provoked.
"Just how capable is this Yun Zhonghe? Does he really want to challenge Lin Feng across three Realms?"
"Although Lin Feng is not a direct descendant of the Lin Family, the Lin Family's Grand Elder has been powerful these years and provided him with many resources. It is said that Lin Feng also learned a High Grade Yellow Tier Profound Skill."
"Yun Zhonghe is still too arrogant. At the very least, he should wait for others to consume some of Lin Feng's spiritual energy in a few matches before challenging him. That way, the chances of winning would be much higher."
"Tsk tsk, it feels like Yun Zhonghe is going to fall."
Many people gloated, wanting to see Yun Zhonghe make a fool of himself. Everyone has a psychology of resenting the rich, unable to stand others being better than themselves. When someone who was once high and mighty makes a fool of themselves and falls badly, they would definitely be the first to go up and mock them.
But unfortunately, they were probably going to be disappointed.
"I believe in Yun!"
