C812 Acceptance continued
"Then this time, the seventh and eighth slots for the elite disciples will be held by Yang Jingjie and …"
"Hold on!"
Chu Chuang, who was about to announce the names of the two elite disciples, frowned. However, when he looked over, he saw a disciple walking over nervously. When he saw Chu Chuang's gaze, he couldn't help but look away.
"Yang Zixuan, what are you doing?"
Chu Chuang's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, but his gaze was not directed at the fourth generation disciple of the Yang family. Instead, it was directed at the elders of the Yang family who were watching from a distance.
Chu Chuang knew that usually, this Yang Zixuan was only mediocre among the Yang Family's fourth generation cultivators, and couldn't be considered outstanding. Chu Chuang knew that this Yang Qin Xuan was usually mediocre among the Yang Family's fourth generation cultivators, and couldn't be considered outstanding.
It seemed like he wanted to gain some courage from the man behind him. Fortunately, this boy had some intelligence, so he was able to forcefully stop this action. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Reporting to head storekeeper, this disciple has objections to Ding Rulan becoming one of our Yang Family's elite disciples!"
Many of these spectators were not from the Yang Family. When they saw Yang Zixuan challenge the qualifications of an elite disciple with another surname, they immediately thought of something. At the same time, their expressions changed, and they all turned to look at Chu Chuang, who was on the stage, to see what he would do next.
The clamor of the spectators and the change in the atmosphere naturally couldn't be concealed from the experienced Chu Chuang. He secretly cursed Yang Zixuan for not being able to accomplish anything and circulated her dantian's Qi. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Silence!"
Chu Chuang had been the head storekeeper of the Yang Merchant Group for many years, and during this time, more and more members of the Yang Family had joined the caravan. The Yang Family, led by Han Xiusheng, tried to seize the position of the head storekeeper from his hands more than once, but Chu Chuang's position became more and more stable.
Such a person had a good mentality and high cultivation base. Plus, he had been in charge of the Yang family for many years and had the temperament of a superior. Even in the Yang family, he had a lot of prestige.
"The reason?"
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Chu Chuang immediately turned to ask Yang Zixuan.
"Disciple suspects that she is in cahoots with an outsider just like Liu Lichang!"
Saying "an outsider" instead of "an outsider" would give him some intelligence. Chu Chuang coldly snorted, and then stared at Yang Zixuan as he asked a short question, "Evidence?"
I once sent people to investigate him. She is only the daughter of a spirit farmer in the Wilderness Town, and although she was previously selected as one of the elite seeds of the town, she only knows one little Cloud Rain Spell. However, ever since she came to the Desolate Land Town, her cultivation has risen to a new level every time, not only has she learned a spell, she has even learned a spell. Furthermore, the disciples also realized that after every competition, other than going back to the Western Mountain Village to spend the night, he would go out every day and head downstream along the river. After coming to the Western Mountain Village, all of you would have to spend your time bitterly cultivating day and night just because of the rich spiritual energy here. If there are no ghosts amongst them, would everyone believe it? "
After Yang Zixuan finished explaining the reason in one breath, the crowd on the drill grounds began to whisper to each other again. It had to be said that what Yang Zixuan said was very reasonable, and if it really was like what she said, then Ding Rulan was truly worthy of suspicion.
In fact, some people had long since noticed the change in Ding Rulan. However, these people either had cultivations that were far higher than the disciples participating in the Large Competition, or they had enough experience. You were just a fourth generation cultivator, how many times had the Wasteland Town been out, for you to have such an eye?
Besides, send someone to the Wilderness Town to investigate Ding Rulan's background. Where did a fourth generation cultivator like you get the energy from?
The most important thing is that Yang Junping will be here to watch the previous rounds of the competition. Even if there is something wrong with Ding Rulan, do you think that you and your backer are stronger than him? He didn't say anything, yet you dare to question her qualifications as an elite disciple?
Chu Chuang stealthily looked towards the pavilion atop the martial field. Yang Junping, who had been watching the tournament all this time, was out of the picture today, which confused Chu Chuang a bit. Could it be that those people had calculated the whereabouts of Daoist Jun Ping and planned to make trouble for him today?
He didn't know that it was because Yang Zixi and Yang Ziyao's calabash sword embryo was about to be successfully nurtured, but the more successful it was, the more danger it would become. Yang Junping was worried about the safety of his children.
He couldn't help but to look at Ding Rulan, who was standing on the martial arena with Yang Zijie, and ask: "Ding Rulan, someone questioned your qualifications as an elite disciple, what do you say?"
The cultivators below the arena suddenly quietened down. Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at her, causing Ding Rulan to feel a heavy pressure. This pressure was even greater than when she was fighting in the arena!
The heavens have mercy on her. She was just a loose cultivator girl who came from the countryside. When had she ever seen such a scene?
Not to mention that he had been criticized on the spot by the Yang Family disciples in the midst of such a huge power, which caused him to panic a little on the spot!
At the beginning, she only felt that it was fortunate that she had received guidance from an expert. Along the way, she only got excited because her strength had increased again and again, and now that she was being questioned, even if she was unwilling to believe it, she had no choice but to mutter to herself: "Could it be that there really is something wrong with that senior?"
In reality, the reason why Chu Chuang asked her was to give her a chance to defend himself. However, this girl was hesitating and did not know what to say, but the more he couldn't say it, the more anxious he became.
"There's definitely something wrong with her!"
Another doubt sounded in the crowd.
"I think so too. If he's so magnanimous, then why is he so afraid to say it out loud?"0
Someone in the crowd immediately echoed his words.
"After the removal of her elite disciple status, according to the previous example of Chi Feifei replacing Liu Lichang, her position should be replaced by the eliminated Yang Zixuan in the third round!"
"That's not right, if that's the case, then doesn't that mean that Yang Zixuan has taken advantage of us? I think the people who were eliminated by Ding Rulan in the previous two rounds should have once again competed with each other!"
"In that case, that means that Fei Fei should once again compare positions …"
"Right, we have to compete again. This is unfair!"
"Unfair …"
"I want to challenge Ding Rulan!"
"I want to challenge Chi Feifei!"
"…"
The crowd below the arena suddenly burst into an uproar. The cultivators watching the battle on the drill ground were inexplicably excited, some were whispering to each other, some were gloating, and some were filled with emotions …
When these expressions fell into the eyes of Chu Chuang on the stage, he couldn't help cursing in his heart at the Yang Family for having such a useless person. Even if they wanted to reject the disciple with another surname and let their own disciple take the throne, who had their face ruined by this scene?
Aside from the Yang Family and the villagers of the West Mountain, there were many other villages who came to watch the battle. If this could not be resolved, then the Yang Tian Family's carefully planned competition, which was designed to win over the hearts of the cultivators of Hu Yao and Meng Yu, would become a joke in the cultivation world of Yuzhou!
This caused the few senior Yang cultivators who originally wanted to press the issue to be caught off guard. A few Yang family cultivators who were involved in the planning of today's events or knew about the situation did not expect the situation to turn out like this, and some of them already realized that they had lost some of their control and started to quietly retreat when no one was paying attention.
At this time, only Yang Zijie, Ding Rulan, and Chu Chuang were left standing on the stage. However, the audience below the stage had already surrounded them and many people were shouting from the crowd. For a moment, the situation was out of control.
It was at this moment that a person suddenly walked slowly up the stairs from below the arena. The sudden appearance of this person immediately attracted the attention of everyone beneath the arena.
Chu Chuang also saw the newcomer. His eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, "Su Changan, what are you doing up here?"
Su Changan?
This person's identity was a bit special. The audience was first intimidated by Chu Chuang's shout, then they were distracted by the name Su Changan.
Then he saw Su Changan slowly walk up to Ding Ru Lan, who was still in shock. He suddenly smiled and said, "Junior sister Ding, come with me to pay respects to teacher!"
"…"
The drill grounds, which had hundreds or thousands of people present, instantly fell silent. The sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard!
Who?
Teacher?
Which teacher?
The same teacher as Su Changan?
Wouldn't that mean …
Roar!
A wave of voices instantly rose up from the drill grounds that were even more turbulent than when the previous scene had gone out of control. However, the wave of voices immediately disappeared without a trace, and soon after, countless complicated, astonished, strange, jealous, good-natured, and malicious gazes simultaneously shot towards the lucky one on the arena.
Amongst the crowd on the drill ground, this time it was Yang Zixuan's turn. Sweating profusely, there were cultivators moving towards the outside of the drill ground from all directions, and there were also shadows of people moving about in the outer perimeter, as well as in the buildings surrounding the drill ground. A few Yang Clan cultivators hurriedly turned to leave, but all these familiar backs were seen by Chu Chuang.
