Shijō-jin, the head of the Four Element Sect, had been cultivating for 1,500 years and had a pivotal position in the Wanxian League.
The supreme leader of a high-rank sect in the Wanxian League and a standing member of the Organizing Committee actually came forward to support a bald-headed disciple of the Flower Stern Sect, which was somewhat beyond Wang Lu's expectations.
When did the Flower Stern Sect hook up with the Four Element Sect? The Four Element Sect was famous for being noble and elegant, and it was very particular about origin and bloodline. True disciples and inner disciples must be of noble bloodline and disciples of cultivation families with glorious history. In addition, those who cultivated immortal methods could not have artificial spiritual roots, so the number of disciples was naturally worrying. Therefore, the Four Element Sect also reformed and recruited a large number of outer disciples. In the eyes of the sect, these people were basically equivalent to cannon fodder, but even cannon fodder had the style of cannon fodder — to enter the sect, one had to be a descendant of a mortal emperor or a noble. With the foundation of the Flower Stern Sect, even the head of the sect was barely qualified to be an inner disciple.
"Luo Xiao is naturally intelligent and has an extraordinary aptitude. I have decided to accept him as a true disciple."
Wang Lu was even more surprised when he heard this.
In the Wanxian League, this kind of recruitment of disciples from other sects was not uncommon … This Luo Xiao was not an ordinary person, so it was natural that the Flower Stern Sect could not keep an eye on him. But at this time, a Supreme of a high-rank sect happened to accept him as a true disciple. It was barely reasonable to say that it was just a coincidence, but Wang Lu would not accept this explanation.
It was better to say that this little bald-headed disciple of the Flower Stern Sect was handsome and made Shijō-jin glow with youth … which was more convincing.
However, even if he did not accept it, Wang Lu would not openly question a Supreme level master. If he said too much, it would be too embarrassing if the other party's impure physical relationship was exposed. In short, since Luo Xiao had found a godfather, he would stop here for today.
"Since Luo Xiao is so important to Supreme, I will not take away his love. I will leave the matter of the seven-colored glazed stone to your outer disciple. I still have something to do, so I will leave first. "
After saying that, Wang Lu bade farewell and left, no longer bothering with the pair of master and disciple.
After returning to the office, Wang Lu immediately ordered Hai Yunfan, "Xiaohai, help me get all the recent information on Luo Xiao."
"Luo Xiao?" Hai Yunfan looked up from the pile of documents. "Why are you interested in him again? I thought you were tired of playing with him. "
Wang Lu sneered and said, "Of course, it's because the baldy has developed a new way of playing … In just over half a month, he actually found the head of the Four Element Sect to be his godfather. Now, he is the successor of the head of the Four Element Sect. Do you think it's necessary to play with him?"
Hai Yunfan was also surprised. "Shijō-jin? It was rumored that his cultivation was extremely high, but his eyes were at the top of his head, and he did not put anyone in his eyes. Many people in the Wanxian League wanted to talk to him, but it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. This Luo Xiao was actually accepted by him as his successor? Wait a moment, I have someone's record here … "
As he spoke, Hai Yunfan pointed his finger, and a door suddenly opened in the office. Behind the door were countless rows of tall bookshelves that stretched as far as the eye could see, and every bookshelf was filled with information files.
Hai Yunfan stood outside the door and loudly instructed, "Key word, Luo Xiao. Extract everything. "
The next moment, tens of thousands of books flew out from the bookshelves, and the sound of pages turning converged like a wave. These books passed through the shuttle door and quickly piled up in the office. Every time they piled up into a mountain of books, Hai Yunfan would point at the top and gather the books into a jade slip to reduce the volume.
Before long, there were more than thirty jade slips in the office, and the information about Luo Xiao was finally extracted. Hai Yunfan smiled and said, "How do you feel? This is the file collection management system that our Ten Thousand Arts Sect has specially developed for this Grand Competition."
"It feels expensive. It costs tens of millions of spirit stones to purchase such a set, yet you guys still have the nerve to ask for the price!"
"… Hey, at that time, we only asked for the cost price of thirteen million spirit stones, and the rest is the kickback of you, the members of the Organizing Committee!"
Wang Lu righteously said, "The principle of the Organizing Committee is to be pragmatic, honest and efficient. My biggest advantage is that I am honest. I don't know what you're talking about about kickbacks."
With that, Wang Lu picked up a jade slip and immersed his primordial spirit in it. Suddenly, a large amount of information poured in, all of which were records related to Luo Xiao, including all the activities that he participated in during the training, all the activities, and all the details. The information seemed to be scattered and messy, but it was organized according to clear logic, so it was effortless for him to read it. In addition, his Primordial Spirit was unusually tough at the peak of the Gold Core Realm, so he quickly finished reading the information.
After that, one after another, Wang Lu read more than thirty jade slips in one go, closed his eyes, and began to further sort out the clues.
"So that's how it is. This guy really hides himself deeply."
After a long time, Wang Lu opened his eyes and took a long breath.
At this time, Hai Yunfan had just read four or five jade slips, so he had no time to sort them out. However, the gap between peak Xudan Stage and peak King Pill Stage was huge. After so many years of friendship, he already knew that Wang Lu was a bookworm, so he didn't think much of it. He directly put down the jade slip and asked for the conclusion, "What do you mean?"
"Simply put, he carefully arranged it and catered to his liking. Ten days ago, Shijō-jin and Black and White Ancestor played chess on the Silent Island. Shijō-jin lost by one move and fell behind step by step, but he just passed by the game and then secretly made a wonderful move for Shijō-jin, allowing Shijō-jin to turn defeat into victory. The Four Ministers were overjoyed and asked Luo Xiao what he wanted, and Luo Xiao proposed to be a Successor Disciple. Shijō-jin proposed three tests, and he completed them one by one, finally making Supreme unable to refuse. "
After listening to this, Hai Yunfan couldn't help but laugh, "So that's how it is. Shijō-jin is addicted to chess and pays special attention to winning and losing. He has been an opponent of Black and White Ancestor for many years, but he lost more than he won. If someone can help him win a game, he may indeed get carried away and promise a very high reward. However, the last few tests are fine. The chess skills of Shijō-jin and Black and White Ancestor can be called the top level in Nine Regions, and Black and White Ancestor has left behind the Immortal List, so how could he participate in it? How could he help Shijō-jin win against Black and White Ancestor? "
Wang Lu said, "Maybe he is a peerless genius? Or he accidentally found an ancient chessboard and was possessed by the former Chess Saint? The problem of chess skill is not important, the important thing is this … "
Wang Lu pointed to a newly drawn chart, on which a number of upward curves were drawn with eye-catching colors.
"This is his progress in each project during the training period. What do you think?"
Hai Yunfan picked up the form and looked at it. "It's probably amazing …"
Wang Lu said, "Yes, his progress is not inferior to the lead disciples of the Five Uniques, and his talent is very comprehensive. Such talent is rare even in this era of talented people. Shijō-jin also saw this, so he reluctantly accepted a cultivator of humble birth as his true disciple … "
"In that case, Luo Xiao is indeed a rare talent. Why don't you put aside your prejudice and make good use of his strength?" Hai Yunfan said with a smile.
Wang Lu did not answer.
So far, apart from his intuition, he could not find any evidence to prove that there was anything wrong with Luo Xiao. However, although his intuition could convince him, it could not convince others. Even if it was Hai Yunfan, after listening to his intuition's explanation, he could only be skeptical. If it were a normal person, they would only think that Wang Lu was jealous of the talented and stirring up trouble.
Therefore, there was no point in continuing to talk about it, so he simply shut up.
Seeing Wang Lu's uneasy face, Hai Yunfan no longer entangled in this issue and said, "Tomorrow is the pre-match meeting with the Dixian, what else do you need to prepare?"
Wang Lu said, "Oh, yes, good reminder, I almost forgot … Let me check the equipment."
With that, Wang Lu rummaged through his mustard seed bag and took out the equipment and props to check one by one, including the Exterminate Immortal Powder that could seal one's throat upon contact, the Golden Thunder Origin Cone that could blow up a mountain into a plain, and the Spring Brother Pill that could instantly replenish one's blood and qi … While Wang Lu rummaged through them, Hai Yunfan was in a cold sweat.
"Wang Lu, are you going to have a peaceful meeting or to provoke a dispute?"
Wang Lu was stunned. "Little Hai, you've really become stupid from living at home. How could this pre-match meeting be a peaceful meeting? It must be a fight! Fight to show the momentum, fight to show the demeanor, fight to raise the morale, and then officially start the Grand Competition. "
"… You never said before that you're going to start a war with the Dixian today."
"Do I still need to say that? Little Hai, you, as a secretary, can't learn to figure out the intention of your superior? After thinking about it briefly, this meeting is the last official meeting between the two sides before the Grand Competition. The next time they meet, the two sides will fight each other without recognizing each other. Do you want to test the real situation in advance? See what cards the other side has? And to test the real situation, is there any more effective way than to directly make a move? "
"This … So you want to do it yourself?"
"Otherwise, is there anyone more suitable than me? With the cultivation base of the King Pill level, I have been cultivating for less than thirty years. Whether I win or lose, both sides have a way out. And in the King Pill level, the top strength can ensure that my odds of winning against the Dixian are higher than others … In addition, my strong observation and analysis can ensure that I get the most abundant information in the fight. Finally, I am the chief planner of the plan. During this period of time, all the controversial plans were put forward by me. If I don't personally fight with the Earth Immortals, the doubts of those mediocre people will not stop. "
Hai Yunfan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. If you lose in the cross-level challenge and turn into a beautiful girl like the others, there will not be so many people who have opinions."
Wang Lu waved his hand and said, "Forget it. My wisdom and beauty will only make more people despair, so there's no need to mention the matter of disguise anymore."
With that, Wang Lu had checked all the equipment and props and put them into his mustard seed bag. After applying the seal on the mouth of the bag, Wang Lu's whole person had become murderous. Even Hai Yunfan, as his secretary, could not help but take a few steps back.
"Very good, at least we can't lose to the other side in momentum …"
As Wang Lu said that, he suddenly remembered something and put a piece of white cloth on the desk into his arms.
