On the morning of the eighth day of the internal competition, a thin mist flowed slowly on the square in front of the Internal Blade Hall, which was at the highest point of the Cloudseal Sect. The mist added a mysterious and lively aura to this cultivation sect.
In the corner of the square in front of the Internal Blade Hall, a golden list hung high in the air. The names of the Cloudseal Sect disciples were listed on it. Many Cloudseal Sect disciples gathered in front to see if their names were on the list like those who were going to the capital for the imperial examination.
In fact, it was the same whether they looked or not. According to the rules of the preliminary selection, they would be eliminated if they lost one of the four matches. Didn't they know the number of matches they had fought? However, they felt more at ease when they saw their names on the list.
There was another reason why so many disciples had gathered here, and that was because the ranking list had also divided the groups for the advancement competition. Everyone wanted to see who their opponents were.
In fact, it didn't matter to most Qi Refinement disciples whether they looked or not.
There were 100 Qi Refinement disciples and 50 Foundation Establishment disciples who passed the preliminary selection. All of them had the right to enter the array. For those Qi Refinement disciples, they were already satisfied if they could enter the array. Why would they want to enter a few places? The prizes for the first, second, and third places made people salivate. However, they had no hope of winning against a Foundation Establishment Perfected Master who was one realm higher than them.
But it was different for Ye. He had no right to enter the array even if he entered the top 100. It was the same for Jiang Wuyi. She had to enter the top 20 Qi Refinement disciples.
Ye Kong looked at it. Each group had five people. They were a mix of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators. In his group, there were two Foundation Establishment disciples. One had just reached the Foundation Establishment realm not long ago, and the other was at the mid-stage. It was a bit difficult.
After looking at the list, Jiang Wuyi patted her towering chest and said, "I'm relieved now. The two Qi Refinement disciples in my group are not as good as me. As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, it doesn't matter even if I lose to them. I only need to win two out of the three rounds of advancement competition to enter the top 20. "
Ye Kong said, "I'm not worried about you at all. Even the top Qi Refinement disciple, Qiu Qianguang, was defeated by you. Who else can be your opponent? If you really can't do it, you can hit the bull across the mountain again."
Ye Kong was right. The rules of the competition were that two people would advance from each group. An Aura Refining disciple would have to defeat two other Aura Refining disciples or defeat a Foundation Building disciple to advance.
However, Jiang Wuyi was still brooding over the fact that she said she wasn't worried at all. In the crowd, he stepped on her and scolded, "If it was your cucumber girl, you would be worried, wouldn't you?"
Seeing that Little Chili Pepper was actually jealous, Ye Kong was overjoyed. He used to think that she had no feelings for him, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"What, are you jealous? It's not that I'm not worried, but there's no need to worry. If there's really a danger of failure, how can I not be worried?" Ye Kong pulled Jiang Wuyi in front of him and wrapped his arms around her soft waist from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and spoke.
This posture of a pure couple was very common on Earth. It was common even in middle school. However, Cangnan Continent was still very conservative. This kind of action was harmful to public morals.
None of the surrounding disciples dared to do anything. Originally, the number one disciple of the Outer Hall was enough to make them suffer. Now, there was also Jiang Wuyi, who knew how to hit a cow across a mountain. Provoking this adulterous couple, wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Most people didn't dare to do anything, but it didn't mean that everyone didn't dare to do anything.
Just like that, one person came out. "Pulling and pulling in public, where's the propriety? It's simply unbearably filthy and despicable! You Aura Refining disciples are really becoming more and more backward and inferior! "
This person's words cursed all the Aura Refining disciples. Everyone turned around and saw an old man glaring angrily at Ye.
Although the Aura Refining disciples were displeased, they didn't dare to provoke a Foundation Building master. Especially when they saw that his spiritual power was strong and seemed to be in the late stage of the Foundation Building realm.
However, Ye Kong had a fearless temperament. As a hooligan, he couldn't tolerate being publicly reprimanded for hugging his girlfriend on the street.
"White-bearded grandpa, we didn't do anything. Don't you think it's a bit too much for you to use such vicious words to attack a fellow disciple? " Ye Kong was still very angry in his heart. Old man, it'd be fine if you reprimanded me a bit, but you actually said that I'm despicable. F * ck you, Immortal! I don't have any human relations just because I hugged my girlfriend? If I married a wife, wouldn't I be worse than an animal?
"Too much! You're the ones who're too much! Do you think I'll let you hug and hug in public? "The old man snorted angrily.
"I hugged her, so which sect rule did I violate? Grandpa, are you jealous because I have a girlfriend to hug? "
"Pah! This Old Man is the eighth concubine! "
Ye Kong was furious when he heard that. "F * ck your mother! Old Pole! If you're really a decent person, I, Li, would admire you! But I didn't expect you to marry eight wives, yet you can't bear to see someone else have a girlfriend … I, Li, hate hypocrites like you the most in my life. You're sanctimonious, only allowing yourself to play with chickens and not letting the common people play with their wives. You're lenient and strict, and your mouth always falls on others! "
The old man had been in seclusion for many years. When he came out this time, many people didn't know him. He originally wanted to teach a junior a lesson, but he didn't expect to kick an iron plate. This black guy scolded him as if he was worthless.
"Sharp-tongued! You're only at the eighth layer of Qi Refinement, yet you're so insolent. I don't know who accepted you into the sect, but you don't even know basic respect for elders! "
Jiang Wuyi pulled on Ye Kong's sleeve, telling him to speak less. She didn't know this old man, and his cultivation was high. He must be an old senior who cultivated hard. These cultivators were all very powerful.
But when Ye Kong's temper flared, he didn't care.
"Respect for elders? That depends on whether you're worthy or not! So what if I'm old? Are there no more despicable, shameless, and evil when I'm old? Scheming, cunning, white-bearded old thief, and white-haired old man. These words were invented for old people like you! "
"You, you, you!" The old man was so angry that his beard trembled.
At this moment, Cao Junfeng rushed over. This guy knew the old man, so they exchanged a few words. Only then did the old man glare at Ye Kong and leave.
After the old man left, Ye Kong asked, "What's his background? I see that you respect him quite a lot."
"Hey, why did you get into a fight with him?" Cao Junfeng pulled Ye Kong and Jiang Wuyi to a secluded place before saying, "This person's name is Lin Tianwu. He used to be a high official in Wu Country, and the highest he reached was the Prime Minister. Because he's an old-fashioned scholar, he's more upright and pedantic. You don't have to bother with him."
Jiang Wuyi asked curiously, "How old was he when he entered the sect? Didn't he have his spiritual roots checked when he was young? "
Ye Kong was also curious. Normally, the children of rich families would have their spiritual roots checked when they were young. If they had the aptitude for cultivation, why would they want to be an official?
