You, a spoiled young master, actually became a god by investing in the Empress and getting a bargain

It was only then that Xiao Yunting realized what was going on.

"I was wondering why a big shot like Jiang Liming would come to the mountain gate to interfere with the juniors' fight."

"It seems his purpose in coming here is to take Lin Qingxuan as his disciple."

"I reckon this old man probably sensed Lin Qingxuan's special physique a long time ago and has been observing her from the shadows."

"He only showed up when the situation was about to get out of control!"

"No wonder she's a woman of destiny; she gets noticed by powerful figures wherever she goes."

"I wonder what she will choose!"

Thinking this way.

Xiao Yunting's gaze also fell on Lin Qingxuan, who was standing to the side.

Lin Qingxuan first bowed to Jiang Limo.

He then spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Thank you for your high regard, Elder Jiang!"

"But my path...is not found in the sword."

"I can only regret not being able to accept Elder Jiang's kind offer!"

Seeing Lin Qingxuan's serious expression.

Jiang Limo also let out a long sigh.

"Fine!"

"Since we have different paths... I can't force you!"

"Hurry up the mountain, the outer sect assessment is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxuan cupped her hands in greeting once more.

He then turned and walked towards the mountain gate.

Watching Lin Qingxuan's departing figure.

Jiang Limo murmured involuntarily.

"This woman possesses a resilient spirit."

"Even when surrounded by multiple attackers, they can handle the situation calmly."

"Furthermore, he possesses a special physical constitution..."

"It's a pity... I'm not destined for the way of the sword."

Just as Jiang Limo was feeling sorry about this.

A voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"She's not meant to be, but I am!"

"Elder Jiang...would you consider me?"

Jiang Limo turned her head to look.

It met Xiao Yunting's smiling face.

I couldn't help but recall the scenes I had witnessed in the dark before.

First, he pushed his own maid forward to take the bullet.

Then he used those despicable methods to beat Lu Yanzhen up.

His face twitched involuntarily.

"Upright and unyielding, proving the way of the sword."

"You...are not suitable!"

He finished speaking.

Jiang Li Mo didn't give Xiao Yun Ting a chance to continue speaking.

He transformed into a streak of light and vanished!

Upon seeing this.

Xiao Yunting couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

"It seems I've been underestimated."

"Old Deng! Just you wait!"

"Don't come begging me then!"

The novel is finished.

Xiao Yunting then realized that Lin Qingxuan had already gone far away.

They hurriedly chased after him.

"Qingxuan!"

"Wait for your young master!"

"You're walking so fast, what if someone causes trouble for me on the way?"

......

The summit of Sanjue Mountain.

On the introductory test plaza.

They had already split into two or three small groups and were waiting here.

The largest group among them.

They were surrounding a middle-aged man with a large belly and thinning hair.

"Manager Wu has successfully advanced to the first level of Body Tempering, and is only one step away from advancing to the second level! He will definitely break through in this outer sect assessment and become a true outer sect disciple!"

"He's more than just an outer disciple! With Steward Wu's strength, becoming the top outer disciple and entering the inner sect would be a piece of cake!"

Listening to the praise from those around me.

Wu Shanheng's chubby face jiggled with laughter!

"Hahaha!"

"Then I'll take your kind words!"

As he spoke, Wu Shanheng also looked towards the foot of the mountain, intentionally or unintentionally.

"That little bitch Lin Qingxuan, who knows where she's run off to now!"

"If she had been willing to submit to me back then, she wouldn't have ended up having her secret medicine stolen and missing the outer sect assessment!"

The group of servants and disciples standing nearby echoed this sentiment.

"That Lin Qingxuan is just ungrateful! Manager Wu, it's not worth getting angry over someone like her."

"Exactly! It's her good fortune that Steward Wu has taken a liking to her! Does she really think she could have entered the Three Absolutes Palace as a menial disciple without Steward Wu's patronage?"

Just as these menial disciples were talking amongst themselves...

On the road leading to the foot of the mountain, the group of independent cultivators also appeared.

However, the number of people was much smaller.

This is because this road is the first barrier that the Three Absolutes Palace has set up for outside independent cultivators!

Special restrictions were placed on the mountain road.

It can make climbers feel a strange pressure.

If you haven't reached the first level of body tempering.

It was simply not enough to support them to reach the summit.

Of course, this test is not only for rogue cultivators who want to join the Three Absolutes Palace.

To participate in the outer sect assessment, even a menial disciple must reach the first level of Body Tempering.

Otherwise, they would have no choice but to stay in the servants' quarters and continue doing odd jobs.

Wu Shanheng had spent countless years working his way up in the servants' quarters, and then he stole the secret medicine that Lin Qingxuan had obtained in exchange, which allowed him to successfully break through the first level of body tempering and reach a level close to the second level!

The first group of independent cultivators to reach the summit were also very discerning.

They knew that the people waiting on the mountaintop were the menial disciples of the Three Absolutes Palace.

Since I'm new here, it's best to be polite!

After all, these menial disciples had already been living in the Three Absolutes Palace for some time.

They definitely know more information than we independent cultivators do.

He immediately greeted his senior brothers and sisters very politely!

Especially Wu Shanheng, who was surrounded by a group of servants in the middle.

He also received respectful greetings from a group of independent cultivators.

This greatly satisfied Wu Shanheng's vanity.

I almost floated away!

Just then, a young man, his face bruised and swollen like a pig's head, passed by Wu Shanheng, supported by two burly men.

This person is none other than Lu Yanzhen, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Yongning.

Lu Yanzhen was already injured.

We then traveled along another mountain road.

They were already panting heavily from exhaustion.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already reached the second level of Body Tempering.

I'm afraid they would have already fainted on the road.

All he wants right now is to find a place to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, Wu Shanheng, who was already feeling rather smug, was surprised to see that Lu Yanzhen dared to ignore him.

He was immediately somewhat displeased.

He stepped forward and blocked Lu Yanzhen's path, saying...

"Where did this little punk come from!"

"Don't you even understand the basic courtesy of greeting people when you come in?"

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yanzhen, who was already seething with anger, raised an eyebrow.

"Who do you think you are?"

"I'm in a really bad mood right now."

"You have three breaths to kowtow and apologize!"

"Otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences!"

Seeing Lu Yanzhen's arrogance.

Wu Shanheng was also somewhat annoyed.

He was just about to reveal his identity as the manager of the miscellaneous servants' quarters of the Three Absolutes Palace.

Before he could even speak, he found himself surrounded by several burly men!

Wu Shanheng only discovered this at this point.

The people surrounding him were all at the second or third level of Body Tempering.

It seems like I've kicked a hornet's nest!

He had originally intended to ask the group of handymen disciples nearby to help him escape his predicament.

But he noticed that when his gaze swept over there...

All the servant disciples took a step back in unison!

Seeing this, Wu Shanheng could only curse these disloyal bastards in his heart!

The burly man at the head of the group witnessed this scene.

He looked at Wu Shanheng with a mocking expression and spoke.

"Standing before you is none other than Lu Yanzhen, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Yongning! Heir Apparent Lu!"

"How dare you speak to our Crown Prince like that... You really have guts!"

These words were spoken.

Wu Shanheng was immediately stunned!

"What?!"

"The Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Yongning!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately...

Wu Shanheng's legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground.

boom! boom! boom!

He slapped his head three times in one go!

"This petty person is blind to the greatness of Mount Tai!"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Seeing that the other party admitted defeat so quickly.

A hint of mockery appeared on Lu Yanzhen's face.

He was brutally beaten by Xiao Yunting in front of the mountain gate for half a day.

Now we've finally found someone to vent our anger on.

How could he let it go so easily?

He immediately looked at his follower beside him and said.

"You guys, slap him thirty times!"

"His face must be beaten until it's even more swollen than mine!"
