This shout, although not loud, left Bu Ling and the others, who were about to call Bainian Xiang into the inn, stunned.
Everyone followed the gaze of the long-haired woman and looked at Wen Ping.
A bandit from the Snow Plains?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bu Ling reprimanded coldly.
No matter how you put it, Wen Ping is still the son of Zi Ran’s old friend, and even Bainian Xiang is quite familiar with these people. For soone from the Hidden Dragon Sect to say such insulting words at this ti is sowhat inappropriate.
Being reprimanded by Bu Ling in this cold manner, the long-haired woman quickly bowed and apologized to Wen Ping, "Senior, I’m very, very sorry. I made a mistake..."
Bu Ling walked over to Wen Ping and explained, "Sect Leader Wen, this is a disciple of my Hidden Dragon Sect, and she was sowhat offensive just now."
"It’s fine... Do I really look like a highway bandit?" Wen Ping smiled, looked himself over, and then fixed his gaze on the long-haired woman.
"Senior is heroic and mighty, of course not."
The long-haired woman quickly shook her head.
Bu Ling shook his head helplessly, then asked, "Wen ng, go arrange a place for Sect Leader Wen and his friends to stay. They are all guests invited by Master Zi Ran."
"Yes." Wen ng hurriedly nodded.
Bu Ling said, "Sect Leader Wen, you may follow them. This inn is occupied only by people from our Hidden Dragon Sect."
"Alright, thank you."
"No need to thank , Sect Leader Wen."
After speaking, Bu Ling beckoned to Bainian Xiang, who hurriedly bid farewell to everyone and then followed Bu Ling into the inn.
Wen Ping and several others then followed Wen ng and the rest, found a few vacant rooms, and settled in.
Just as Wen Ping sat down in the room to ponder the next steps, Wen ng and the others were called over.
In the room, Bu Ling stared intently at the group.
Wen ng and the others thought they had done sothing wrong and hurriedly knelt on one knee, continuously admitting their mistakes.
"Stand up, all of you."
Shouted by Bu Ling, Wen ng and the others hurriedly got up.
Following this, Bu Ling asked, "Wen ng, you called Wen Ping a bandit in the Snow Plains earlier... Have you t him before?"
Wen ng replied, "I just saw him outside Vast City."
"Tell more."
"Elder Bu, it’s like this. At that ti, I saw them approaching so suspicious highway bandits from the air and thought they didn’t notice them, so I kindly flew down to remind them. But unexpectedly, I later saw them running towards those bandits, killing them, and continuously collecting spoils of war. Later, I heard from friends that there was a group on the Snow Plains dedicated to killing and robbing, sparing no one, not even companions."
After Wen ng finished speaking, a few people beside her chid in.
"Yes... Elder Bu, we all saw the front part. As for the latter part, it was seen by friends from other influences. That’s why Junior Sister Wen ng said that. She actually wasn’t wrong."
Soone helped explain.
Naturally, soone was also requesting forgiveness.
"Elder Bu, Junior Sister Wen ng didn’t know that person was acquainted with Junior Sister Bainian Xiang, so she lost composure and called out. Please forgive her."
Looking at the people in front of him, Bu Ling said nothing and simply waved his hand, "Alright, everyone back to work... Let’s let bygones be bygones and properly prepare for the upcoming competition... Oh, Wen ng, the Sect Leader has instructed that externally, we must show our full strength and uphold the reputation of the Hidden Dragon Sect. Especially against the Xia Family."
Wen ng quickly agreed.
"Please assure Elder Bu and the Sect Leader that Wen ng will achieve a good result in the rookie competition."
After speaking, she took small steps, running after her companions as they left.
At this mont, in the room, Bu Ling was deep in thought.
He originally thought Wen Ping might be hiding his strength.
After all, Wen Ping’s deanor is indeed quite astonishing, lacking in many sect leaders or clan leaders of Four-star Influence. Moreover, the feeling Wen Ping gives off is sowhat elusive, as Bu Ling cannot sense his realm.
Keep in mind; he is in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!
Now, hearing Wen ng’s account, it seems Wen Ping rely bears the title of being the child of Zi Ran’s old friend, and nothing more.
Anyone with a spine and dignity wouldn’t do such things outside Vast City before the Centennial Event began.
The most speechless thing is that Wen Ping even resorted to black eating black.
This is completely bottomless.
Indeed, once you’ve committed highway robbery, what bottom line remains?
Thankfully, the Sect Leader hasn’t shown any intention of forming an alliance with Wen Ping, so he doesn’t have to waste ti explaining anything to the Sect Leader.
If soone like Wen Ping wants to stay with them, they will give Zi Ran so face and let him stay for a short while.
As long as he doesn’t flaunt under the Hidden Dragon Sect’s banner outside, Bu Ling doesn’t bother to care.
After all, the Centennial Event is just a few days away.
...
anwhile, Wen Ping is still in his room consulting with the system, contemplating his next plans.
He doesn’t know that in others’ minds, he has beco a bandit.
And not just any bandit—a bottomless, black-eating-black bandit.
Of course, even if he knew, Wen Ping wouldn’t care. After all, he believes he’s doing a good deed by eliminating evil.
As for how the people he’s only t once think of him?
It’s none of his business.
"Sect Leader." At this mont, Zi Ran’s voice ca from outside.
Wen Ping got up to open the door, then saw Zi Ran entering with a sheet of Yellow Paper.
After Zi Ran entered the house, she placed the paper on the table, saying, "Sect Leader, this is the flow and rule information for the rookie competition that I obtained from the Hidden Dragon Sect. You can take a look at it first, and then we’ll head out later."
Zi Ran left Immortal Sect to escort Bainian Xiang back.
Coming here was just to join in the fun.
Now that her Sect Leader is here, naturally, she has to follow the Sect Leader to handle things for the Sect.
Wen Ping pulled out a chair, then indicated Zi Ran to sit down while he examined the docunts she brought.
As he looked farther along, a hint of a smile appeared on Wen Ping’s face.
"The points system."
"The system indeed didn’t say anything wrong."
Just as the system said, the rules for the rookie competition change every hundred years.
This ti, the rookie competition adopts a points-based ranking. It’s not simply 1V1, with the strongest being the winner.
Of course, the person with the highest points will still be the strongest.
However, from the specifics of the rules, this ti’s rookie competition ranking considers other factors.
According to Wen Ping’s understanding, people outside Heaven and Earth Lake are looking beyond re personal power. They value command ability and teamwork. Otherwise, a 5V5 group battle wouldn’t be sanctioned.
As Wen Ping mumbled, Zi Ran’s expression grew more enthusiastic, and she promptly said, "Sect Leader guessed correctly. This ti the major powers outside Heaven and Earth Lake have stated that to select talents from Heaven and Earth Lake, they must be exceptional. Simply knowing how to fight is useless to them because the talents outside Heaven and Earth Lake are far superior. They need a broad vision, cooperation ability, and command ability."
