Emperor Bai looked at Wei Yiyong and the other college presidents, whose expressions changed, and said, "Xiao Hua defeated all the colleges in the five cities in the Elite Selection and humiliated all of you. It's nothing for you to use the Sage Selection to create trouble."
Then, he looked at Bai Kexin, Zhang Yi, and the rest of the people from the 12th floor, and said, "As for you all ~"
"Xiao Hua's Fortune Building suppressed the 12th floor of the Heavenly Court, but you all didn't dare to fight him head-on. Instead, you used the Sage Selection to make things difficult for him and tarnish his reputation. I don't think it's a big deal. I even want to encourage you all to make things difficult for him!"
"But ~"
Just as Bai Kexin was overjoyed, Emperor Bai changed the topic, "You all are shameless, but you can't use the Heavenly Court's reputation as the price. You can't use the fairness of the Heavenly Court's Six Selections as the price!"
Emperor Bai's meaning was clear. If they had the ability, they could find someone to fight Xiao Wenzong head-on. They could even do what the Nangong Nobles did. I wouldn't care. But don't do these small things. It's meaningless, and it'll tarnish the Heavenly Court's reputation.
Naturally, White Emperor's words couldn't be said like that, but Wei Yiyong and the others understood what he meant. They also felt bitter in their mouths. They wanted to, but the problem was that Xiao Hua's arrival was too sudden, and they couldn't make any arrangements at all!
After Meng Tianyi and the others left the Hall of Excellence in a sorry state, White Emperor looked in the direction of Goose Lake and muttered to himself, "I have been looking for the master of the Linan Merchant Union, but I never thought that the master of the Linan Merchant Union would hide in a small Silver Sail Hall and be willing to be a small official in White Jade Capital!"
"If Meng Bufan didn't force you, you wouldn't want to reveal your true identity, right?"
"Wen Qu, Wen Qu ~"
"Only a Confucian immortal who dares to use Wen Qu as his name can compare to Xiao Wenzong, right?"
"Your Majesty ~"
While they were talking, a faint glow rose in front of the jade table, and a human figure that was even thinner than a shadow appeared. He put a Red Cloud Festival on the table and said, "This is the existing record of White Jade Capital about Wen Qu. I have already sent someone to the Silver Sail Palace. I believe that a more detailed record will be sent here soon!"
"Okay, I understand ~"
White Emperor picked up the Red Cloud Festival and said, "You've worked hard."
No one knew that the White Emperor was not interested in Xiao Hua, but Wen Qu.
As for Xiao Hua, of course, he did not know that so many things had happened outside the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. He had only stepped onto the cloud path and went straight to the second stage of the Sage Selection.
The second stage of the Sage Selection was naturally the fourteenth floor of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. However, after stepping in, Xiao Hua discovered that there were no changes to his surroundings.
Xiao Hua was contemplating whether he should use his ocular technique. After all, ocular techniques were recorded in the [Tai Chu Great Nine Syllables], and they were also obtained by the Heavenly Court. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be rejected by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Just as he was pondering, a slightly exaggerated voice sounded from behind him, "Aiyo, isn't … isn't this Xiao Wenzong? What took you so long? "
Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment and turned to look.
A long-faced Confucian Immortal flew over with a look of surprise on his face. He stared at Xiao Hua as if he had discovered a huge secret.
"Who is Wen Qu?"
Xiao Hua bowed politely and said, "I don't know you!"
"Haha, haha ~"
The long-faced Confucian Immortal did not answer. Instead, he laughed loudly. Then, he opened his mouth and an inexplicable green cloud surged out. The cloud landed in the air and immediately elongated, turning into thin strands of twisted light and shadow that spread out in all directions.
A ray of light and shadow passed by Xiao Hua's ear. A voice filled with sarcasm, mockery, and even schadenfreude sounded, "Senior brothers, I'm not the last one. There's another one behind me. Haha, guess who it is?"
"It's Xiao Wenzong. Haha, I never dreamed that I would be able to defeat Xiao Wenzong in the preliminaries!"
"Xiao Wenzong's talent has run out. He was almost eliminated in the preliminaries!"
Xiao Hua frowned slightly. The Record of Revelation made it clear that the preliminaries did not distinguish between strong and weak, but only between the first and the second. Although he had comprehended three secret realms, he had spent a lot of time on it. While others only wrote an imperial edict, as long as they had a short time, their ranking would be higher. Xiao Hua knew this in his heart. He was modest and did not care about this. But he could not stand this long-faced Confucian Immortal's slander.
"Ahem ~"
Xiao Hua coughed twice, touched his nose and said, "Wen Qu, you don't have to do this, do you?"
"Haha, why not?"
The long-faced Confucian Immortal was still laughing and said, "Being able to step on you under my feet is a record that I can talk about for the rest of my life!"
Seeing how vulgar the Confucian Immortal was, Xiao Hua did not bother to respond. He turned around and was ready to fly away.
Unexpectedly, before he could fly away, another voice sounded from not far away, "Li Fanqing, where's Xiao Wenzong? Is he really the last one? "
"He's here, he's here!"
The long-faced Confucian Immortal named Li Fanqing replied loudly, "He hasn't gone far yet!"
Seeing that there were people coming from all directions, Xiao Hua sneered. He stopped in mid-air and stood with his hands behind his back. If he left now, he would seem stingy. Xiao Hua wanted to see what these people wanted to do.
"Damn, it really is Xiao Wenzong ~"
The first one to rush over was a round-faced Confucian Immortal. When he saw Xiao Hua, he immediately shouted, "The jade coins I just won, I have to spit them out again!"
"Impossible, impossible ~"
Another Confucian Immortal was half a step slower. He shouted from afar, "Even if Xiao Wenzong is not the first, he should be in the top 100. How can he be the last one? Ah, it … it really is Xiao Wenzong … "
Then this Confucian Immortal shouted at Li Fanqing, "Li Fanqing, how can you prove that Xiao Wenzong is the last one?"
Li Fanqing pointed to the place where Xiao Hua just flew in and shouted, "I came in from there. After I came in, the door closed. But before I flew far, the door opened again, and Xiao Wenzong followed in. Tell me … if he's not the last one, who is?"
"That's not right!"
That Confucian Immortal was stunned for a moment. He looked at the place Li Fanqing pointed to in disbelief and said, "The door of the preliminary selection is closed, it means that there are enough people. How can it open again after the preliminary selection?"
"I don't care why it opens again ~"
Li Fanqing said proudly, "Anyway, I'm not the last one. Our famous Wenzong in the Elite Selection is the last one in this preliminary selection!"
"Jiang Lang has run out of ideas ~"
The round-faced Confucian Immortal looked at Xiao Hua up and down and said sadly, "Looks like Xiao Wenzong is going to stop at the Sage Selection!"
"Hehe ~"
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "It's useless to say more, let's wait and see!"
"Haha, this is so funny ~"
Li Fanqing held his stomach and laughed, "Xiao Wenzong, oh Xiao Wenzong, there's no need to wait and see. Look around, we're all going to be eliminated in the second round. Those who entered this space earlier have already gone to other places to cultivate. We're the only ones who came late, so there's no need for us to go far."
"Also, to be honest, if it weren't for the opening of the 63rd floor of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, I definitely wouldn't have been able to make it here. Xiao Wenzong, you're ranked behind me, so don't even think about it."
