Fortunately, Li Han's appearance was gloomy and somber to begin with, and the Li Han disguised by Fu Chaosheng gave people a natural indifference and even cruelty, so at this moment, Li Yan could not see anything strange in his eyes, and even subconsciously thought that he hated Lian Zhao who was standing here.
So I gave a reminder.
"Master Li Han, everyone is here, what do you think?"
"Let's get started."
Fu Chaosheng didn't understand where the discomfort came from. He wanted to ask Kun, but felt that it was not the right time, so he answered Li Yan directly.
But his eyes did not move away from Jianchou.
Different from the reason why Jianchou looked at him frankly, he looked at her so frankly and without scruples, not because he had any plan or premeditation, but simply because he could not perceive how others would react to this.
In his opinion, there is no need to hide when looking at a person.
Especially in this case.
But others don't think so.
Li Yan didn't notice anything at first. Now that he had finished speaking, he turned around and saw that he was still looking at Lian Zhao. If he didn't think something was wrong at this point, he would be a fool.
Can…
But isn't this too blatant? Not hiding anything at all, which makes people doubt the purpose of his gaze.
In name, he is the elder of the Ghost King clan and is considered an elder in the Li Han clan.
In fact, Li Han was appointed by the Eight Directions Yama Palace and was the chief judge of His Royal Highness Prince Qin Guang. His status was much higher than that of him as an elder of the ten major ghost tribes.
So although he had some doubts in his heart, as an old fox, Li Yan did not say anything to remind them. He just waved his hand indifferently and asked someone to bring an eight-inch green jade bowl. He said: "I believe you have already understood that this conscription is ordered by the Eight Directions Yama Palace, especially by His Royal Highness Qin Guangwang himself. It is a matter of great importance. This bowl is called the 'Soul-Judging Cup'. You need to send a wisp of your soul into the cup one by one, and the Soul-Judging Cup will be able to tell who is suitable."
Soul-detecting cup
When Jianchou heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
When she heard the ghost cultivator outside the Guzhong Tower just now saying that he wanted to check the soul's energy, she felt that something tricky would happen after she came in, and now it was true.
Appearance can be disguised, and one can even imitate Lian Zhao without revealing any flaws by relying on superior cultivation and a calm mind. But the soul of every person in the world is unique, so how can it be imitated
Her soul energy will never be the same as Lian Zhao's soul energy!
What's more, although she had repaired her soul, there was always a crack that could not be completely mended. Not to mention Lian Zhao, even the souls of ordinary ghost cultivators were different from hers!
Once the soul is examined, it will be exposed!
His brows wrinkled slightly, but he was not panicked. Jianchou looked at Fu Chaosheng calmly.
A pair of dark blue eyes like glass.
Fu Chaosheng could guess what she wanted to ask with this look, and he just shook his head slightly at her. Obviously, he was not panicked and had a way to deal with it in his mind.
Seeing that there was sorrow, he naturally felt relieved.
She was still in her sixth place, watching the male cultivators from the Wuchang clan in front of her walk forward one by one, separating a wisp of fleeting soul energy from their brows and injecting it into the soul-discerning cup.
The entire soul-judging cup is not large, and there are no patterns carved around it or on its edges. There is only a broken evil ghost pattern carved in the center of the bottom of the bowl.
The soul energy, as whitish as smoke, fell into the dark green soul cup.
It was like a newly hatched little snake, turning three circles in the bowl, and finally condensing on the broken evil spirit pattern, gradually covering it.
After just a moment, the whitish soul energy changed. It floated and changed color - from a smoky whitish color to a faint and clear light like a bowl.
The ghost cultivator standing in front of the soul-judging cup suddenly slumped his shoulders and revealed a look of disappointment.
Green light is not recorded, only red light is qualified.
He obviously lost this rare opportunity.
"Unqualified." The ghost cultivator in charge of the inspection was obviously very familiar with the process. He took a look and shook his head. Then he looked at the next person and said, "Next one."
No one knew what this soul-testing cup was meant to test. When everyone stepped forward, they felt a little curious and nervous, wanting to know what their situation was.
However, the results are not optimistic.
Four ghost cultivators from the Wuchang clan went up one after another, all of them were covered with green light, until the fifth person, Xueyin, who was ahead of Jianchou, saw the first red light.
With a slight "hum" sound, the soul-testing cup vibrated as if the faint white soul energy was injected into it, and then a slight red light began to appear from the broken evil ghost pattern in the middle. It was light at first, and then gradually became thicker after a while. After three breaths, it was already a bright red!
At this moment, no matter whether it was the people standing in front of or behind Xueyin, or the elders who were watching coldly, and even Xueyin herself, they could not help but exclaim!
The ghost cultivator who was checking the soul-testing cup raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Yin. He was very satisfied. However, when he saw her cultivation level, he frowned slightly, but finally said, "The soul test is passed. You wait aside."
"yes."
Xue Yin's fair face flushed a little, and she was obviously a little excited. She bowed and responded calmly, then walked to the other side of the crowd.
But when I walked past Jianchou, I couldn't help but look at her one more time.
That look was full of contempt, provocation, and demonstration.
"Lianshao"'s cultivation is not as good as Xueyin's. In everyone's impression, it's just because she knows how to deal with things that she is so arrogant and her status is lower than Xueyin.
Nowadays, this kind of situation...
With Li Han around, she should at least take advantage of the opportunity to show off her power.
Jianchou could of course clearly sense Xueyin's dissatisfaction with him, as well as the provocation in her eyes, but he did not show it at all.
"Next."
The ghost cultivator in charge of examining souls naturally shouted again.
At that moment, everyone in the room focused their attention on Jianchou. Even the three elders sitting on both sides sat up straighter, and some even dared to sneak a glance at Li Han who was sitting above him.
"Li Han" looked at Jianchou.
Jianchou was still unspeakably calm.
When she heard the ghost cultivator calling her to go up for soul examination, and when everyone's eyes fell on her, she showed neither embarrassment nor fear at all. As she raised her head and walked towards the soul-examining cup, there was even a hint of icy pride between her brows.
scare!
This is really different from the lotus photos of the past!
Everyone was puzzled: How come she suddenly became a different person? At this critical moment, Master Li Han had been looking at her for so long, but she didn't even glance at him, as if the past events had never happened. And this attitude...
You are so brave!
In just a moment, everyone saw that the Lord "Li Han" at the top frowned his long eyebrows, and his deep blue pupils like glass were filled with cold displeasure!
At this time, Jianchou had just walked to the soul-judging cup and raised his finger to take out a wisp of soul energy from between his eyebrows.
Before she could even take it out, a cold voice interrupted her!
"The Wuchang Clan really dares to send anyone to me. How courageous!"
How powerful was Li Han, who was already the chief judge of the Qin Guangwang Palace? Not to mention that he was speaking in such a cold tone.
Everyone was shocked and their hearts trembled at the same time!
Only Jianchou laughed in his heart when he heard it.
Others were worried, but she was relieved. However, on her face, she still pretended to be a little surprised, as if she had not expected to be suddenly scolded.
Even his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Li Han" was unmoved. No one could see what kind of emotions were hidden in his cold and captivating eyes. All they could hear was his cold voice without any emotion: "She doesn't need to be tested. Leave."
"… "
The ghost cultivator in charge of soul checking was stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Han. In that instant, he thought of the past when Lian Zhao had tried to seduce Li Han but failed and offended him.
The adult is actually a vengeful person!
It's obvious that he still remembers what happened that year and wants to make things difficult for Lian Zhao and not give her any chance to participate in the selection!
No one expected that Li Han would be so decisive. He had humiliated Lian Zhao in front of many people back then, and now it happened again today!
After a moment of surprise, everyone wanted to watch the show.
Although Xue Yin was frightened by the coldness in Li Han's words, she immediately felt gloating after hearing the words "she doesn't need to be tested".
Looking at Lian Zhao again, where is the arrogance of the past
The initial surprise had not yet disappeared from her face, and a layer of puzzled anger suddenly surged up, causing her fingers hanging at her sides to clench into fists, as if she was about to open her mouth to refute Li Han!
But the next moment, it turned into sorrow.
A pair of eyes that were usually filled with brilliance slowly began to show a hint of light, like a lake shrouded in mist.
Reluctance, fear, grievance...
It seemed as if the tears were about to fall any moment.
However, at the moment when everyone's heart trembled and they thought they were going to fall, this notorious female cultivator, with a bit of stubbornness, raised her head and delicate chin, forcing all the emotions back into her eyes, and bowed: "Yes."
It was clearly just one short word, and there should have been no emotion in the voice, but everyone felt that there seemed to be a hint of sob in the voice.
Everyone was shocked by this look.
Is this really the Lian Zhao they know
Who wouldn't say she was arrogant and domineering? She was the only one who bullied others, and it was never right for others to bully her.
But now this look makes people feel heartbroken.
As if my heart is dead.
Behind the flashy and domineering appearance, there are scars of giving one's true heart to others but being discarded by them; behind the arrogant and conceited attitude, there is a kind of humility that is unwilling to speak to others even if it hurts its head and bleeds...
Not to mention the male cultivators, even the female cultivators were stunned!
At this moment, the house seemed quiet.
"Lian Zhao" neither refuted nor resisted, but retreated silently, lowered her head and looked down.
Where is the former glory and spirit
This situation should have made everyone feel happy, and even felt that this female cultivator who had done so many bad things had finally received retribution, but somehow, they couldn't feel happy. It seemed that letting this originally bright and beautiful person suffer such an injustice and become like this was a heinous crime...
The Ghost King clan elder Li Yan, who was sitting at the top, obviously did not expect Li Han to suddenly attack Lian Zhao, and was somewhat surprised. But Li Han was fully responsible for this matter, so he could not say anything.
But from Lian Zhao's reaction, he felt something strange.
Then, the gaze that contained a bit of scrutiny quietly fell on Li Han.
"Li Han" was still sitting in the middle, with his right hand resting on the armrest carved with a bat pattern. His slender fingers were too thin, like pieces of dry branches, with a rugged feeling, and at this moment he had quietly pressed them tighter.
His eyes were fixed on "Lian Zhao", as cold as ever.
There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, and no one could tell whether there were any inappropriate emotions in his eyes.
The soul examination continues.
There were no more accidents with the remaining four people, three of them were green and one was red.
Including Xueyin, two people passed.
But during the final selection, Fu Chaosheng, who was sitting at the head of the group, glanced at Xue Yin, who was faintly unable to contain her excitement, and said directly: "Your cultivation is too low, so you will not be selected."
"… "
From high altitude to abyss in an instant!
Xue Yin's face, which had originally turned red due to excitement and nervousness, instantly turned pale, and even a little blue!
"Any comments?"
Fu Chaosheng had no expression on his face, and he had no idea what kind of awe-inspiring power he possessed with Li Han's gloomy and cold face. He just asked this question calmly.
Who dares to have any opinions
I knew long ago that not only does the soul test have to be passed, but the cultivation level also has to be taken into consideration!
Xue Yin just thought that there were only a few qualified people in the Wuchang Clan, and the probability of her being selected should be very high. But who could have thought that she would be eliminated in the end
I felt hatred and fear in my heart, but I dared not complain.
When Fu Chaosheng asked, she could only bow quickly and say, "Xue Yin dare not."
Just like that, out of the ten people in the Wuchang clan, only one was selected and went down to the other side of the building to wait, while the other nine, including Jianchou and Xueyin, went back to where they came from.
Li Yan, the elder of the Ghost King clan, waved his hand and told them to leave.
The nine people from the Wuchang clan bowed and retreated, each with their own thoughts.
People just left, but the next group was not called in immediately.
The elders looked at each other and remained silent for a while.
Because at this moment, "Li Han"'s gaze has not been retracted yet, and he is still staring at the direction where the female cultivator "Lian Zhao" of the Wuchang clan left.
"Ahem." Finally, Li Yan, who had the highest status among the elders present, coughed and spoke, "Lord Li Han, what you did just now was not appropriate, was it not?"
"What's wrong?"
Fu Chaosheng asked the question even though he knew the answer.
Li Yan didn't see it, and smiled like an old fox, saying: "Although we are old and confused with half of our bodies buried in the ground, we have heard about the matter between you and the female cultivator of the Wuchang clan. It's fine if you don't want a female cultivator who throws herself at you, but it's not worth holding a grudge for so long. What's more, it's a private grudge between you two, and today's call for ghost cultivators to go to the underworld is a public matter. It's really not advisable to sacrifice the public for the private. There were originally very few people who could pass the soul test, and it's better to have more than less. My lord just didn't like the behavior of this female cultivator..."
"Who said I don't like it?"
Fu Chaosheng finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan was stunned!
The two elders on the other side were also stunned!
What does this rhetorical question mean?!
"You..." Li Yan was so surprised that he couldn't wrap his head around it. "Could it be that you still like her?"
As early as when he learned about the soul test and the purpose of this conscription, Fu Chaosheng had already thought about how to get Jianchou to go with him, and he discussed it with Kun, and finally came up with the current plan.
Faced with Li Yan's surprised question, he did not panic.
He just looked at the other person calmly and replied, "Someone threw herself into my arms, why do you elders think I rejected her at the beginning? It's just that her cultivation is so low, even if I wanted to let her in, there is no chance."
Why do you think he refused at first
This, this? !
Does this mean that he didn't refuse at all? ! !
Several elders were almost stunned instantly, and were dizzy by the sudden thunder! After all, it was rumored that Li Han gave Lian Zhao a beating on the spot and didn't understand the situation at all!
Is this just a show
Once the thought came to his mind, he couldn't suppress it. Li Yan, who had a quick mind, immediately thought of Lian Zhao's heart-wrenching look...
Fuck your dad, didn't you? ! !
The elder of the Sun Travel tribe beside him was a little dazed: "This time, the call-up is entirely up to Lord Li Han. As long as there are enough people, you can let in whoever you want. But, but, you just made things difficult for Lian Zhao. It seems that you really, really don't like her..."
like
He always heard people talk about things like "like" and "love", but Fu Chaosheng found it difficult to understand such emotions. When he heard the question from the elder of the Dayu tribe, he did not feel the slightest bit sensitive. He just saw an opportunity for the inexperienced soul general Jianchou to be selected from the other party's words.
So he raised his eyebrows slightly: "What does it look like to like someone?"
"Of course I like it—"
The elders of the Day Travel Tribe never expected that Li Han would ask such a strange question. Like the other elders, they were still immersed in the shock of Li Han's revelation that he had an affair with Lian Zhao. They did not come to their senses immediately, so they almost opened their mouths to answer.
But when I said this, I found that I couldn't answer it for the moment.
He stared with his eyes wide open for a moment, and finally an idea flashed in his mind, and he continued: "The way Lian Zhao behaved towards you, it looked like she liked you. But you treated her like an enemy, how could that be love?"
"If I like you, should I treat her the same way she treats me?" Fu Chaosheng asked again.
The elder of the Sun Tour tribe vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his question, but after careful examination, it seemed that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded: "That's roughly it."
At this time, Li Yan, the elder of the Ghost King clan, suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Han frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but he relaxed his frown after just a moment and stood up from his seat: "I understand."
What do you understand? ! !
Several elders were suddenly frightened.
However, by the time I reacted, it was already too late!
As the three words "I understand" fell, the figure of "Li Han" disappeared from their sight, leaving only a circle of faint space fluctuations in its place.
Outside the Gouzhong Building, Jianchou had just walked out of the building.
There are still many ghost cultivators gathered outside.
Some of them have not yet entered the building for soul testing and are waiting for selection, while others have already entered but failed. They are staying here probably just to see what happens next.
The appearance of the nine people from the Wuchang clan immediately caused a commotion.
Apart from the unfortunate fact that only one person was selected, the fact that Lian Zhao, who has always been able to accomplish everything, was not selected this time is really thought-provoking.
When they came out, Xueyin, who was walking next to Jianchou, had an even gloomier look on her face.
It always makes people feel a little frustrated that they passed the soul test but were ultimately eliminated.
But when she glanced at "Lian Zhao", whose complexion seemed even paler than hers, this feeling of depression was relieved in an indescribable way.
Now thinking back to the other party's previous arrogant words, it seemed like a joke.
As she walked down the stairs, she couldn't help but sneered, "There is still 'no man who can escape from your palm'! You think you have so many great abilities, but you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the election. You must feel bad, right? Isn't it said to 'play hard to get'? Why don't you 'catch' one and let me see—"
Before he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly fell in front of him!
Xue Yin was startled and took a step back almost immediately. The moment she saw the shadow clearly, she was even more horrified!
Severe cold!
Without any warning, he appeared instantly!
The heavy navy blue robe suppressed his loneliness and coldness. There was a natural coldness and indifference between his brows, but his deep blue glass-like eyes revealed a hint of darkness.
But he didn't even look at Xue Yin.
He landed in front of everyone, right in front of "Lian Zhao", that is, Jianchou!
Hundreds of people outside the building recognized him almost immediately.
"Lord Li Han!"
"Why did Lord Li Han come out?"
"Eh..."
…
Surprised discussions were heard from all sides.
Even Jianchou was a little surprised, his mind racing. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, the next moment Fu Chaosheng grabbed his waist and pulled him down!
In this lightning-fast moment, and with this person she knew and trusted, how could she be on guard at all? She was directly dragged down!
The soft waist was immediately wrapped by an arm.
The wide sleeves passed through the sight, leaving a swaying shadow, and then the slightly cold face of the "culprit" came closer, and two thin lips fell.
All the distance disappeared in an instant!
Countless people's eyes popped out in an instant!
Xue Yin, who was standing next to Jianchou, faced this shocking scene and opened her mouth wide...
When doing all this, Fu Chaosheng actually didn't feel anything. He was just treating her like Lianzhao treated himself as the elder of the Riyou tribe said before.
The same is true when lips touch.
He is an evil being born from heaven and earth. He has never been able to truly experience the so-called "human emotions", and he doesn't know why people indulge in them.
Therefore, until his slightly cold thin lips left those soft lips, there was a kind of peeling calmness.
However, the next moment after separation, a strange feeling came over me like a tide.
Suddenly, a tremor arose in his body, and the powerful and extraordinary demonic power surged through his limbs and bones, and seemed to be about to escape his control!
Fu Chaosheng had never encountered such a situation before. He suppressed his frown the moment it appeared, then looked into Jianchou's eyes, which suddenly tightened, and said, "I like you."
