Chapter 533 - Losing the Grand Competition and Falling into Handyman
"Senior sister Mei'er, long time no see!"
Yue Ling clasped her fist in the direction of Hu Mei'er, leading Yue'er up to her and said gratefully, "During the time my little sister was punished for odd jobs, thanks to Senior Sister Mei'er for taking care of this girl Yue'er, a great kindness, Yue Ling can hardly repay it!"
Hu Mei'er waved her hand noncommittally and laughed, "Why are you being so formal, we are all sisters. By the way, Yue'er, how is your Demon Drinking Blade Technique coming along?"
"In reply to senior sister's words, it is completely pure!" With a slight bow, Yue'er cupped her fist towards Hu Mei'er and smiled.
Snap!
With a lift of her arm, she heavily patted Yue'er's shoulder, and Hu Mei'er could not help but say in a serious tone, "Yue'er, you must work hard, your sister has given everything for you. If you can't be promoted to the inner sect, it will be a waste of her efforts."
Yue'er frowned slightly, and seemed to be in some pain, but still gritted her teeth and nodded fiercely with a serious look on her face.
Seeing this, Hu Mei'er's eyes shone with a brilliant light before she smiled with joy again. Yue Ling also looked at Hu Mei'er and smiled, then looked at Yue's face, full of relief.
Only Zhuo Fan, looking on from afar, smiled coldly in his heart, as if he had already seen through everything ...
"By the way, Kong'er, how is your cultivation of the Bloodshed Technique going?" At this time, Hu Mei'er looked at Kui Gang in the distance again and said with a concerned look.
Nodding spontaneously, Kui Gang looked confident, "It's no problem, Senior Uncle Mei'er, I've already refined a lot in the past few days. This time, I will definitely be able to advance to the inner sect without any problems."
Hearing this, a wicked smile crossed the corner of Hu Mei'er's mouth and she nodded slightly.
Kui Wolf, on the other hand, brought Kui Kong to her side and smiled, "Senior sister Mei'er, thanks to your help this time, Kong'er will be so sure of himself and participate in the Grand Competition. Otherwise, that Bloodshed Skill martial art would only be available in the Inner Sect's Hidden Scripture Hall. Both Yue Ling and I are already wearing the guilt of our crimes, so it's impossible for us to enter again. Thanks to you managing to get it, and wasting a chance to enter the Hidden Scripture Hall, my brother would like to thank you."
"What are you talking about, brother, we are siblings who started together, can't we even do this favor? Now that you are in prison, it is not convenient for you to stand up for the juniors, how can I, as a senior uncle, let them suffer?" Hu Mei'er laughed lightly and did not deny it.
However, Kui Wolf was already so grateful that his eyes were filled with tears and he could not speak.
This Mei'er sister was really a rare and trustworthy person in the sect!
"By the way, Kong'er, I have a fifth-grade pill here, the Blood Spirit Pill. If you feel overwhelmed during the competition, take one right away and you will be guaranteed to be invigorated. When combined with your Bloodshed Skill, your power will increase by two or three times. I'm just helping you out again!"
Hu Mei'er smiled coquettishly and handed over a small porcelain bottle. Kui Gang took it, his hands trembling with excitement, and looked in Hu Mei'er's direction, full of gratitude.
This was like sending charcoal in the snow, a fifth-grade pellet, which was very difficult for their outer disciples to get. What's more, it was also a battle pill.
With this, not to mention his promotion to the inner sect, even if he took the top spot in the outer sect competition, as a key cultivated disciple of the inner sect, it wasn't impossible!
As Kui Wolf watched this, he was even more speechless with excitement, his lips trembling as he said, "Mei'er, you really care for Kong'er like his mother!"
"Senior brother, what are you talking nonsense about?" Without feeling her pretty face blush, Hu Mei'er blushed and whitened at Kui Wolf, who also scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed out nervously.
When the rest of them saw this, they all felt a little envious.
It was different when someone was looking after them in the Inner Sect. It seemed that Yue'er and Kui Gang were destined to enter the Inner Sect and recreate the glory of Yue Ling and Kui Wolf.
Unlike them, they will never have a chance to make a name for themselves and will have to fight in the Cultivation Field every once in a while.
It was like living in hell.
Sad, sad ...
"Well, senior brother, senior sister, you'd better hurry up and get busy with this martial arts stage thing, I'll leave you to it. Lest you delay the project and cause you to be scolded by the sect deacons. And Yue'er and Gang'er, you two should also go and practise your kung fu. Don't get tired of being around your sister and father all day, like an overgrown child, hehehehehe ..."
After chatting for a while, Hu Mei'er let out a charming smile, winked at the crowd, waved her hand and said goodbye.
Yue'er and Kui Gang both looked at each other, but they could not help but laugh softly, looking at Hu Mei'er's distant figure, filled with a sense of affection.
Yue Ling and Kui Wolf were also full of gratitude as they watched this beautiful woman leave.
Only Zhuo Fan, who came to them leisurely at some point, looked in the direction where Hu Mei'er had disappeared and said sourly, "This Mei'er sister is so unethical, she actually left without even giving me a proper glance. When I first came here, she teased me with great affection, but now that I've fallen on hard times and have come to the servant room, this is her attitude. Hmph hmph, snob!"
"What did you say?" Without realising it, the pupils of Moon Spirit, Kui Wolf and the other four glared angrily at Zhuo Fan in unison, saying viciously.
Zhuo Fan was making up the benefactor who had been helping them, so how could the four of them tolerate this?
As if scared, Zhuo Fan took a step back and said in a jarring voice, "Don't believe me, I'm quite accurate in reading people, that woman is definitely not a good one. If she is willing to help you, she must have a plot. I see that you are also in the handyman's room, you are all my own people, so I am kind enough to remind you that you don't know who you are ..."
"Shut up!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Kui Wolf already yelled out and interrupted, "I know that there are no good people in the sect, but more treacherous villains, and there are many people like you who sow discord. But there is a righteous way and a devilish way, and there are still righteous people in the Demon Strategy Sect. Mei'er, who has received favours from us in the past, is now repaying them in every way. You are new here, you don't know anything, what are you falsely accusing?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhuo Fan seemed to have heard some clues and could not help but lament even more in his heart.
He had not only seen the story of the farmer and the snake, he had also experienced it himself. What was the big deal if such a thing appeared in the Demon Sect.
He thought that because he had shown kindness to the other side, they were trustworthy.
A sadness flashed through his heart, and Zhuo Fan seemed to recall the self-explosion of the Sacred Domain back then, and he could not help but sigh in sorrow as he looked at the four people and shook his head helplessly.
As he slowly walked forward, Zhuo Fan's face was solemn, causing the four to stare in unison.
Suddenly, Zhuo Fan stretched out a palm and probed Kui Gang's arm, squeezing it with force.
Hiss!
Without realising it, Kui Gang drew in a breath of cold air and felt a sharp pain go straight to his heart.
"What are you doing?" Kui Wolf was shocked and fiercely opened Zhuo Fan's arm, looking at him with murderous intent, but inwardly, he was already filled with horror. With his fourth level of divine illumination cultivation, it was simply bizarre that Zhuo Fan, a seventh level Tianxuan cultivator, had swooped in on his son and he hadn't noticed it at all, something that was completely impossible.
But all this had happened in an instant in front of him, so much so that the slightest scruple had appeared in his eyes when he looked at Zhuo Fan.
Zhuo Fan's every move was so mysterious that he could not fathom the depths.
He didn't care about the astonished eyes of the people looking at him, Zhuo Fan just stared at Kui Gang's eyes and asked coldly, "How long have you been practicing the Bloodshed Skill, it shouldn't be more than half a year!"
"Uh ... three or four months!" His eyebrows unconsciously twitched, Kui Gang did not want to answer Zhuo Fan's question, but looking at Zhuo Fan's eyes that could not be disobeyed, he could not help but speak out.
Perhaps
Even in his own mind, he wondered why he had to answer this second-rate ancestor's question.
Nodding in understanding, Zhuo Fan said quietly, "Kid, I'll give you a piece of advice this time, don't force yourself to do anything, just get by, or you'll suffer a great deal and regret it for the rest of your life!"
His body shuddered, and Kui Gang's heart flinched. Somehow, Zhuo Fan's words had a special power that made him feel compelled to believe them. It was as if this aphorism would come true if he didn't believe it.
"And you, as well, remember this!" At this point, Zhuo Fan looked in Yue'er's direction again and admonished.
Yue'er couldn't help but stare in disbelief, not knowing what to do.
Yue Ling, however, had already shouted and looked angrily at Zhuo Fan, "Get lost, my sister and the others are about to compete in the outer sect competition, what are you talking about? Now there is no need for you to build the martial arts stage here, you go sweep the back mountain mausoleum for me and guard there for a month, I don't want to see you again!"
"That's right, even if you have a deep background, you have to listen to us in the handyman's room. Now we send you to sweep the mausoleum in the back mountain without fail, go now!" Kui Wolf also let out an angry shout and spoke viciously.
With a cold smile, Zhuo Fan said no more and turned to leave.
But his snort of laughter was clearly heard by everyone present: "If you don't listen to the words of the old man, you will suffer before your eyes. You can't live with what you've done to yourself!"
The two of them, Moon Spirit and Kui Wolf, stared viciously at Zhuo Fan's distant back, gritting their teeth, their eyes filled with killing intent. However, as Yue'er and Kui Gang pondered over Zhuo Fan's words, they were filled with suspicion.
They always felt that Zhuo Fan's words seemed to mean something, that they were good for them too, that they were not harming them!
"Yue'er, listen carefully, that man just now likes to talk nonsense, don't let him influence you!" Yue Ling gave the two of them a deep look and once again admonished, "This time, you must give your all in the Outer Sect Competition!"
Kui Wolf also nodded slightly, looking at them with an expectant expression.
Staring closely at their expectant faces, Yue'er and the two of them glanced at each other and were all relieved.
Yes, if they were unable to enter the inner sect, how could they live up to the dedication of their sister and father?
So, Zhuo Fan's advice was instantly thrown out of their minds ...
Three days later, the Outer Sect Competition was in full swing, but as the lowest level of the entire sect, the Handyman's Room was not qualified to watch the competition.
For a while, both Kui Wolf and Yue Ling were anxiously waiting in the servant room for news of Yue's and Kui Kong's victory. Although they were already quite assured of the duo's strength, they still wanted to know the result quickly.
"Don't worry, you two, the two of them will definitely be able to advance to the inner sect without any problems. Rather, Zhuo Fan he ... When are you going to let him come back? The back mountain mausoleum is full of gloomy winds there, not a place to stay for long!" While relieving Yue Ling and the two of them, Elder Yuan tried to find a way to plead for Zhuo Fan's mercy.
With a fierce glare at Elder Yuan, Yue Ling said angrily, "Humph, that kid had better never come back. If it weren't for the fear of the clan pursuing him, I would really like to bury him there forever in order to relieve my hatred."
With a helpless, bitter smile, Yuan Lao did not say anything!
But at that moment, a loud shout rang out from outside the door, "Steward of the miscellaneous service room, come out, you have someone here again!"
But soon, he shouted again, "Lord Yue Ling, come and see, it's your sister!"
Yue Ling, who was anxiously waiting for news, was shocked to hear this, and ran out at once, only to see a blood-soaked figure lying on the ground, her breath dying.
The man standing next to him was indifferent, glanced at the crowd and spoke out indifferently: "The outer disciple Yue'er, in the outer sect competition, was severely injured, her tendons and veins were broken, and she has been ruined, and is now handed over to the miscellaneous service room for disposal ..."
