C177 Embarrassing both Kindness and Power at the Same Time
At this moment, the small caldron spoke. "Why are you feeling down over there? Could it be that you have forgotten about Meng Bingyao? Your Elder Sister Meng has taken good care of you. With her ability, ranking in the top ten is not a problem. She will definitely be participating in the trial. At that time, you will be thick-skinned enough to follow her."
"That's right. Why didn't I think of that? But... a big man following a woman, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?" Wu Di was happy, but he was still hesitant.
The small caldron snorted lightly. "What's there to be ashamed of? With that little bit of ability of yours, could it be that he doesn't know? Since she came here specifically to remind you, it means that she wants to take care of you. It would be disappointing if you don't go."
Wu Di pondered for a moment and felt that what small caldron said made sense. However, this wasn't the time to think about it. Once he entered the inner sect, he would have to pay his respects to Zhang Lin's grave and tell him that he was one step closer to his goal.
The sun was setting. At this time, Wu Di and the others had already returned to the rolling eyes square. Coincidentally, the selection of inner sect disciples had come to an end. Wu Di and the others simply waited at the side to announce the final result.
The final battle was determined very quickly. At this point, the selection was more than half complete. As the person in charge, Yan Angzhi began to announce the names of the inner sect disciples in front of everyone. Wu Di and the other three were definitely on the list, but Wu Di still paid attention to them. There were seventeen people who had passed the selection this time. Bai Ze and Yu Hong had also passed the competition. Wu Di basically didn't know the rest of them.
Yan Angzhi told the rest of the unrelated people to leave the White Rock Square quickly. Only the eight protectors, Yan Angzhi and a few other inner sect disciples were left. In fact, whether it was the outer sect disciple selection or the inner sect disciple selection, it didn't matter if it was the outer sect disciple selection or the inner sect disciple selection. None of them were enough to attract the attention of the Sect Master and elders of the Seven Star Sect. The Inner Sect Large Competition was the only one that could attract their attention. This was a competition that could identify the elites of the sect, so the higher ups paid special attention to it.
As far as Wu Di knew, there were thousands of inner sect disciples even if there weren't ten thousand. With so many inner sect disciples, who would care if they recruited a few more? Therefore, those who weren't outstanding inner circle disciples wouldn't receive too much attention.
Bai Xuanming walked over, patted Wu Di's shoulder and said, "You are really capable. I thought you wouldn't do anything big. This time, I was wrong. To be able to defeat Tian Yun, this has proven your strength. Not bad."
"Thank you for your concern, Protector White." Wu Di's mouth was full of respect, but in his heart, he was mumbling. This man, Bai Xuanming, had never been so close to anyone. Could it be that he was up to something?
Just as Wu Di was lost in his thoughts, an unfriendly voice sounded, "How is it? Bai Xuanming, I'm just telling you that if it wasn't for his wolf cub being unfamiliar, he would have run to the inner sect so quickly. Perhaps he would even have to look at you with his nose facing upwards in the future.
Old Red, can you not be so harsh with your words? I see that your words are so sour. "You can't just say sour grapes when you can't eat grapes, can you? That's right. Your precious nephew seems to have been defeated in a few moves just now. Before making fun of others, "The first thing to do is to see how much you are worth. Don't do anything that doesn't match your identity."
"You!"
The two of them began to fight again. Wu Di nodded slightly, his attitude respectful. However, he had long forgotten about the existence of these two lunatics. Who would choose to stop the fight if they did not want to live? Otherwise, they should know to be a mute right now.
Wu Di wasn't in the mood to watch the two idiots argue over there, but it wasn't appropriate for them to leave like this. So he was waiting for someone to come and save him. He did not know if the heavens had really heard his prayers. Just as the two protectors were arguing fiercely, Two people appeared, and their appearance just happened to help Wu Di get out of the encirclement.
"Two protectors, we are responsible for bringing the newly selected inner circle disciples to Alkaid Peak. So, can we take them away now?"
Bai Xuanming immediately walked up to Wu Di and patted his shoulder, "Wu Di, even if you are an inner circle disciple, you are still my subordinate. Come to me if you need anything in the future. If anyone dares to play tricks in the dark, I will not let him off easily."
"Hmph! Just because you want to protect a wolf cub, Just let's see if he's your lucky star or a bad star in the future." Protector Red blew his nose and glared at Protector Red. He turned around and left in anger.
Wu Di was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to respond to Bai Xuanming, but it was obvious that Bai Xuanming didn't have anything to say to him. He just said, "Don't embarrass me. Otherwise, even if you are an inner sect disciple, I will still be able to kill you."
Was this a show of kindness and power? Sure enough, he was the one who pretended to be nice to Bai Xuanming. Wu Di had a deeper understanding of Bai Xuanming. He could only choose to be perfunctory with this kind of person. At that time, he would try his best to get rid of Bai Xuanming if he could get rid of him.
After Wu Di and the other disciples changed into the clothes of the inner sect disciples, they were brought to Alkaid Peak by Yan Angzhi and the others who were able to fly on their swords. According to the rules, the status of these inner circle disciples were different from the outer circle disciples. Therefore, before they officially became inner circle disciples, they would pay their respects to the Sect Leader and the other elders.
In the Seven Star Sect. There were only five elders in the Seven Star Sect. They were Elder Qing Chan of the Green Rock Peak, Elder Mu Xu of the Green Rock Peak, Elder Refining of the Tool Rock Peak, Zi and Elder of the Danyao Peak and Elder Ming Chen of the Rock Building Peak. Every time an inner sect disciple passed the selection, they would be recruited by the five elders and Sect Master. In other words, these dozen or so people could all bow down to an elder or Sect Master.
Wu Di naturally hoped that he could become a disciple of the Sect Master. He heard that Young Master Emerald Qing Shuchou was the direct disciple of the Sect Master. Many people said that Qing Shuchou was a rare genius, so it was very likely that he would become the next Seven Star Sect Sect Master.
Of course, Wu Di wouldn't be envious of his identity. He just felt that being a disciple of the Sect Master would be beneficial to him. At the very least, Bai Xuanming or those despicable people who wanted to deal with him wouldn't dare to bully him because of their status.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and report first. I'll come in after I receive the notice. Do you understand?" Yan Angzhi asked.
"Yes!" Wu Di and the others replied in unison.
Yan Angzhi nodded and walked into the main hall of Alkaid Peak alone.
This was the first time Wu Di and the others had come to the Alkaid Peak. This place was much simpler than the buildings on the Soaring Peak. There were no luxurious buildings. Apart from a large White Rock Square, there were also houses and pavilions located all over the place. However, when Wu Di and the others arrived on their flying swords, they could still see the cultivation cave underneath the white fog.
As long as one's cultivation base reached the Dragon Realm, one would be able to own a cultivation cave in Alkaid Peak. However, Wu Di accidentally took a glance and found that there were quite a lot of cave abodes here. Could it be that there were so many Dragon Transformation Stage warriors in the Seven Star Sect?
"You guys don't know, right? Actually, I got some very secret information." Mu Lee suddenly moved closer to Wu Di and the others and said.
Zhao Tiehniu asked curiously, "Where did you hear it from?"2
"Tch! How could this be hearsay? What I said is the truth. In fact, the Seven Star Sect seems to be quite prosperous, but it's already too late inside."
"What do you mean?" Wu Di was interested as well.
Mu Lee said in a low voice, "The Seven Star Sect has fallen. I heard that there were many geniuses in the Seven Star Sect in the past. There were many Dragon Transformation Stage warriors and above. However, because of the continuous invasion of the demons and devils in the Cultivation World, the Seven Star Sect has suffered heavy losses every time. Now, they are short of resources and talent."
"What?! It can't be, right? We've been looking forward to entering the inner sect for a long time, how could this be possible?" The others were also eavesdropping on Mu Lee's words. After hearing his narration, they all had a look of great shock on their faces.
Mu Lee saw that everyone had heard his narration, so he continued. "As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I think we still have the resources to provide for ordinary inner sect disciples. After all, the Seven Star Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years. Even if it disbanded halfway and reorganized, its foundation has always been there. It's not to the extent that they can't even provide for some inner sect disciples. "
"Ten thousand years? No... it's only a few hundred years, isn't it? " Someone questioned.
