When they arrived at the dining room, someone had already prepared breakfast for Lin Xuan. Nearly a hundred people surrounded Lin Xuan. As they ate, they asked for advice and exchanged their cultivation experiences. The atmosphere was very lively.
This situation made some people envious and jealous.
"I didn't expect that in just a few days, this Lin Xuan actually roped in so many disciples to surround him. What a powerful scheme and methods!”
At the other end of the dining room, a young man with sharp eyebrows and a hooked nose frowned as he spoke to his companions.
His name was Ji Xin, and he was also one of the top ten seeded contestants of the east courtyard.
Ji Xin's strength was not bad. He was ranked 83rd in the overall ranking of the entrance test before Lin Xuan. He had already reached the Celestial Chi cultivation of the Quasi-Two Apertures Martial Apprentice realm. It was said that his background was not small. He came from a large family at the foot of the mountain. His foundation was solid, his financial resources were abundant, and he had many followers.
"Hmph, although Lin Xuan's sword skills are shocking, it's only his sword skills. His mystic qi cultivation is too far from yours, Senior Brother Ji. He won't be arrogant for a few days. At that time, those fellows who gathered around him because of small favors will disperse sooner or later.”
Another disciple close to Ji Xin sneered.
"That's right. If you want to pass the test and stay in the Sword Whisper Sect, you have to rely on your own strength. What's the use of roping in those good-for-nothings? Senior Brother Ji, don't worry. Lin Xuan is far inferior to you!”
Another disciple beside Ji Xin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ji Xin's expression became slightly better.
……
At the same time.
Inside Room 1 of the No. 1 Courtyard of the Eastern Residence.
"What is it? Lin Xuan, that fellow who was born as a low-level commoner, used small favors in the dining room to win people's hearts?”A young man who was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat and cultivating opened his eyes slightly. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
This youth had a fair and clean appearance, and was clearly a man. However, his eyebrows were as delicate as willow leaves. His eyes were long and narrow, and he habitually narrowed them slightly. He was as feminine as a woman, giving off an extremely shrewd and scheming feeling.
His name was Li Qian.
It was a very feminine name.
But in fact, he was ranked first among the top ten seeded contestants of the east courtyard.
Li Qian was ranked 35th in the overall ranking of the sect entrance test. Her talent was extremely shocking. Many elders of the Sword Whisper Sect saw her as the number one expert of the East Branch. She was in charge of the No. 1 Branch and had an extraordinary bearing.
It was said that Li Qian was a direct relative of a powerful inner elder of the Sword Whisper Sect.
Why was Li Qian assigned to the East Branch, which had the weakest overall strength? Many people who knew his identity found it difficult to understand. With his strength and connections, it would not be difficult for him to enter the White Branch, which was known as the strongest among the five branches.
After entering the east courtyard, many disciples who knew some inside information gathered around Li Qian and were willing to be loyal to him.
At this moment, there were four to five people standing respectfully in front of Li Qian.
Two of them were among the top ten seeded participants of the East Branch. They were called Ge Yin and Zhang Tianlun. They weren't weak, but in front of Li Qian, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Senior Brother Li, do you want the two of us to teach this kid a lesson and embarrass him in public so that he won't have the face to point out to others anymore?”Ge Yin suggested.
"No need." Li Qianzhong closed her eyes and shook her head."Doing this will only make the other disciples of the east courtyard dislike you. It will only ruin things.”
Ge Yin's expression froze.
Li Qian thought for a moment and then said,""Lin Xuan is just a small character, a naive fool. Does he think that a small favor can convince others to work for him? What he didn't know was that in the Sword Whisper Sect, strength was everything. Only the strong had the right to speak. If he was distracted by such trivial matters, it would definitely delay his cultivation. It was like throwing away a watermelon and picking up a sesame seed. His vision wasn't high enough, and his boldness wasn't enough. He wasn't worth worrying about.”
"Senior Brother is right." Zhang Tianlun echoed.
"This competition of the five courtyards is the most important thing. I want you to investigate the strength of the seeded contestants from the other four courtyards. How's the investigation going?”Li Qian asked with her eyes closed.
Ge Yin hurriedly replied," Among the five courtyards, the White House is the strongest. Among the top ten seeded contestants, seven of them are sworn brothers, known as the Seven Brothers. The leader is called Mu Yun, whose strength is unfathomable. He is estimated to be above the Three Apertures Martial Apprentice Realm. The six people below him are all very strong and have the chance to compete for the top twenty of the five courtyards. I have secretly investigated and recorded their specific strength realms and cultivation techniques in this small book. Please take a look, Senior Brother Li."”
As he spoke, he handed over a small notebook with a blue cover.
Li Qian took it and flipped it open. She nodded in satisfaction and said,""You did well. Very good. Continue to investigate Mu Yun and find more detailed information.”
Ge Yin was flattered and nodded." Don't worry, Senior Brother Li. I'll figure it out as soon as possible."”
Seeing this, Zhang Tianlun quickly reported his gains.
" The current number one of the Purple Southern Yard is called Lu Liang. He has Nangong Zheng and other followers around him. It is said that he has secretly controlled more than a quarter of the disciples of the Purple Southern Yard. He is the most popular and the most active. Other than Lu Liang, there are also Nanmeng Zheng, Dongyi, and Wang Xiaoshi. They have a certain level of strength.”
"The people of the north courtyard are not united, but there is a fat man called Wu Xiaoyao and a young man called Han Xin. They are very active these days and are very strong.”
"As for the Red Shirt Western Campus, there is nothing special about it, and there is no one worth noticing. The rumored top ten seeded contestants of the Western Campus don't seem to be very strong.”
After reporting in one breath, Zhang Tianlun also handed over three small booklets, which recorded the specific situation of the seeded contestants of the other three academies.
Li Qian nodded in satisfaction. I will remember your contributions. When my uncle comes out of seclusion, he will definitely reward you.”
"Thank you for your kind words in front of Elder Li, Senior Brother Li."”
