"Senior-apprentice Brother Meng, I want to sign up!"
"Senior-apprentice Brother Meng, count me in!"
"Senior-apprentice Brother Meng, me too, me too!"
"…"
A group of people immediately surrounded Meng Jueguang, each and every one of them trying to please him. Although Meng Jueguang was proud of himself, he still pretended to be displeased and said, "What's with all the noise! What's with all this commotion! Come one by one, those who want to sign up, raise your hands high! "
Meng Jueguang was in control, so everyone hurriedly quietened down, for fear that if they made him unhappy, they would lose their jobs. At this time, if someone did not perform well, they would immediately be glared at by everyone else, causing public anger.
This was the effect he wanted!
Meng Jueguang smiled proudly. If it was in the past, he would have been able to make these newcomers obedient on the first day of registration. In the end, he did not expect that a freak like Lin Yi would appear this year, stealing the limelight on the first day. Not only did he make Meng Tong a laughing stock, but he also made him, the steward, lose face, let alone establish any prestige in front of these newcomers.
However, the arm could not twist the thigh. In the end, he, Meng Jueguang, was the steward who held the power. Although it took some effort, these newcomers still had to listen to him, Meng Jueguang! If they did not listen to Meng Jueguang, could it be that they would listen to Lin Yi, this secular world country bumpkin?
The newcomers who wanted to sign up for mining all raised their hands high. When Meng Jueguang casually called out a name, that newcomer immediately acted as if he had won the lottery. He thanked and flattered Meng Jueguang profusely. There were even people who swore on the spot that they would be obedient to him from now on, making Meng Jueguang feel very good.
After a round of calling, out of the fifteen newcomers in Blue Cloud Pavilion, twelve were already standing behind Meng Jueguang. Needless to say, the remaining three were naturally Lin Yi's group.
Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai clenched their fists unwillingly when they saw everyone's mocking gazes. To be honest, they were the same as the other rookies. In fact, they were the same as the other newcomers and wanted to seize this opportunity to earn spiritual jades.
This wasn't purely because of their standpoint. It was mainly because they had taken advantage of the time when Meng Jueguang had called out names to force their Senior Brother to analyze the situation for them. They had already said this to Lin Yi before, and it could be summed up in ten words: Mining has risks. This was what they had said to Lin Yi before.
Xiao Ran already had the First Cave Abode at the foot of the mountain. Compared to the others, he was not as reliant on Spirit Jades. He only needed to cultivate diligently. Although Qiao Hongcai's cave was not that great, his current strength was only at the peak of the late stage of Heaven Stage. His short-term goal was to reach the peak of Heaven Stage Great Circle. At this stage, his need for Spirit Jades was not too high, and he could completely rely on the existing cultivation resources.
After listening to Senior Brother Ku Bi's advice. The two of them pondered for a while and finally chose to give up on this opportunity. It was not wise to be greedy, and the most important thing was to take care of the present.
However, to everyone's surprise, the two henchmen of Lin Yi, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, did not raise their hands. Instead, it was Lin Yi himself who raised his hand. "Senior Brother Meng, I want to sign up."
What was going on?
The rookies were immediately in an uproar. Even the two lackeys were able to resist the temptation. On the contrary, Lin Yi, the boss, couldn't block it? This was too f * cking cowardly! How shameless was this guy?
"Oh?" Meng Jueguang was also stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he sneered and said, "Looks like the temptation of Spirit Jades is really not to be underestimated. Even our strongest rookies are moved! As the Big Senior Brother in charge, I can't be biased. Since you have made up your mind to sign up, then I'll count you in. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother Meng." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
"Well said, well said." Meng Jueguang chuckled meaningfully. He couldn't reject Lin Yi's open and aboveboard sign up. Of course, he wouldn't reject it.
Meng Tong saw this and immediately became anxious. He moved closer to Meng Jueguang's ear and whispered, "Ninth Cousin, how can we let Lin Yi, that bastard, take advantage of this? If he's lucky enough to earn Spirit Jades, then my ranking competition next month will be in danger!"
"Idiot! I'm helping you, don't you understand! " Meng Jueguang turned his head and scolded in a low voice, "If he didn't sign up, I wouldn't be able to do anything to him. But now that he has signed up, I just need to throw him into the dead mining area. I guarantee that he won't be able to collect a hundred pieces of Spirit Jades in his lifetime. In this way, he won't have time to cultivate. Won't your chances of winning be greatly increased? You idiot, you really can't carve a rotten wood!"
Of course, there was one thing he didn't say. That was, even a thorn like Lin Yi had admitted defeat in front of him, the Big Senior Brother. Wouldn't the others be even more obedient? With this incident, Meng Jueguang also regained his lost face!
"I see! Ninth Cousin is really brilliant! " Meng Tong came to a sudden realization. He didn't think of this at all. He was afraid that Lin Yi would earn Spirit Jades. Now that he heard Meng Jueguang say this, he understood that Lin Yi was simply seeking his own death!
"Nonsense, if it were you with a pig's brain, you wouldn't even be able to grasp a good opportunity that was delivered to your doorstep!" Meng Jueguang curled his lips and asked worriedly in a low voice, "Have you done what I asked you to do? Did anything go wrong?"
"Heh, Ninth Cousin, don't worry. I've done everything according to what you said. There's absolutely no mistake!" Meng Tong immediately understood and promised.
"That's good. If this plan succeeds, you won't have to think about how to deal with Lin Yi in next month's Qualifier because he won't be able to live until then! A mere newbie from the secular world dares to challenge me? This time, I'll let him know how many eyes Lord Ma has! "
