"I don't have any experience in guarding new disciples, and I don't want to make any mistakes."
He knew that Baili Tusu was trying to shirk the responsibility, but Ling Duan was cunning and would not let him shirk the responsibility. Otherwise, he would not be able to carry out his next plan.
"You're afraid that you won't be able to take on the responsibility. Well, other than the Dharma treasure that Eldest Senior Brother gave you, what else do you have?"
Ling Duan sneered and continued sarcastically, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will you fail to guard the disciples, but you'll also embarrass yourself. Not only will you embarrass the people of Heaven's Wall City, but you'll also embarrass your master, the Sword-Bearing Elder."
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Tusu's expression changed. He said seriously, "That won't happen. I'll go."
After all, Baili Tusu was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He had been in Heaven's Wall City for a long time, and naturally could not deal with someone as cunning as Ling Duan.

...
As time passed, the sun set in the west and night fell.
The Emerald Valley was a deep mountain valley to the right of Heaven's Wall City. The demons in it were all killed, but there were many demon spirits that survived.
For hundreds of years, this was the assessment site for new disciples. It was also a good place for them to train their courage.
At night, under Baili Tusu's lead, a group of new disciples came to the Emerald Valley. The Emerald Valley was one of the scenic spots of Heaven's Wall City. As soon as they stepped in, they were mesmerized by the scenery.
"What kind of demon would come to this fairyland?"
"I heard that demons appear at night. Let's go to the forest and find some dry wood to deal with tonight."
With one disciple taking the lead, the rest of the disciples followed. Soon, they found a few piles of dry wood and started a fire. They formed a circle and started chatting.
Some disciples dreamed of cultivating immortal skills and going down the mountain to help the weak. Some hoped to live as long as the heavens, some hoped to have a group of beautiful wives …
Of course, dreams were dreams, and reality was reality. They could not be mixed together.
With their foundation, they might be able to become inner sect elite disciples if they worked hard, but it was impossible for them to live as long as the heavens.
The new disciples chatted while Baili Tusu hugged his long sword and sat at the side of the forest. He was expressionless and looked like he did not want anyone to come near him.
Due to the Burning Silence Evil Spirit, Baili Tusu had been cultivating at the back of the Sword-Bearing Hall all these years. There were only a few people in Heaven's Wall City who had come into contact with him.
It was precisely because of this that he didn't dare come into contact with others, and his character gradually became silent and cold.
Feng Qingxue rested her chin on her hands next to the bonfire in the woods. She glanced at Baili Tusu from time to time, pondering for a moment before shaking her head.
Noticing Feng Qingxue's expression, Ouyang Shaogong smiled. He glanced at Baili Tusu and said, "Qingxue, is this senior brother the person you are looking for?"
Hearing that, Feng Qingxue said firmly, "No, it can't be him. He wouldn't be so cold."
"Really? I feel like I've seen him before. "
A glint flashed across Ouyang Shaogong's eyes. Actually, when he first saw Baili Tusu, he knew that this so-called Baili Tusu was the Han Yunxi he was looking for.
An alias could fool Feng Qingxue, but it couldn't fool him. He could clearly feel that the other half of his Celestial Soul was sealed in Baili Tusu's body.
Therefore, the current Baili Tusu was definitely the Han Yunxi of the past.
If it weren't for the fact that this was Heaven's Wall City and he couldn't defeat the Ziyin Immortal, he would have already killed Baili Tusu and extracted the other half of his Celestial Soul.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shaogong knew that whether it was his Celestial Soul or the Burning Silence Sword, he had to be smart.
"Wait, I'll go get some information from him."
With that, Ouyang Shaogong walked to Baili Tusu's side and sat down. He said, "Senior brother, I'm Ouyang Shaogong. I feel like you look very familiar. Have we met before?"
Hearing that, Baili Tusu was still expressionless.
His childhood memories were blurry, but his master had said that he grew up in Heaven's Wall City. Naturally, he couldn't have known this handsome young man in front of him, nor this so-called Feng Qingxue.
In the entire Heaven's Wall City, only the Eldest Senior Brother Ling Yue and Fu Qu were familiar with him. Therefore, he immediately assumed that Ouyang Shaogong was trying to curry favor with him and turned his head away.
Seeing that, Ouyang Shaogong didn't care. He continued to ask, "Do you know Feng Qingxue?"
Seeing that Ouyang Shaogong was going to continue to pester him, Baili Tusu smiled faintly.
"Maybe I remembered wrongly. Sorry to disturb you."
Seeing him like this, Ouyang Shaogong knew that it would be pointless to continue asking.
As the saying goes, the eyes are a window to the soul. When he was asking the question, Baili Tusu's eyes flashed with thoughts. He probably couldn't remember anything from the past.
There were two possibilities. The first was that Baili Tusu had lost his memories. The second was that his memories had been forcefully sealed. There was no trace of the past at all.
Heaven's Wall City specialized in sealing techniques. If the Ziyin Immortal used it, sealing Baili Tusu's memories would be extremely easy.
Although Ouyang Shaogong knew that Baili Tusu was the Han Yunxi he was looking for, he couldn't expose him. Instead, he started to plan his next move.
At the same time, he didn't want to confront the Ziyin Immortal head-on.
Ouyang Shaogong left politely, which surprised Baili Tusu. The name Feng Qingxue circled around in his mind, but he had never heard of her.
Seeing Ouyang Shaogong walk over, Feng Qingxue's eyes flashed with anticipation. She hurriedly asked, "How was it? Is that Senior Brother an old friend of yours? "
"He didn't say a word. He's really cold. He's probably thinking that I'm trying to curry favor with him."
Ouyang Shaogong shook his head without hesitation. If he exposed Han Yunxi's identity, it might arouse suspicion. Naturally, he couldn't tell Feng Qingxue.
"Don't worry. After tonight, when we enter Heaven's Wall City, we'll have another chance."
As time passed, the night deepened. The atmosphere in the forest became gloomy and cold.
Because of the bonfire, or because there were many people and their Senior Brother accompanying them, the new disciples were relaxed. They had long forgotten about the demon spirit.
At this time, one of the disciples pointed at Baili Tusu and said, "Look at that Senior Brother. He's been sitting there for almost four hours. He hasn't moved at all. He's like a piece of wood."
"Senior Brother, he can't be practicing martial arts, right?"
"I don't think so. If the demon spirit really appears, can he protect us?"
One of the disciples didn't like Baili Tusu for a long time. He sneered and said, "You look like you don't want anyone to get close to you. You're like a mute. Do you think a mute knows the Demon Slaying Technique?"
"Ha, who knows?"
