The inner city of Zhuge family is on Guixia Island to the west.
Zhuge Shou, the current head of the Zhuge family, who is tall and sturdy and has a dignified appearance, stands on the shore, facing the river to the west. The city wall is invisible, and the view is wide and unobstructed.
Behind him, there were three people standing quietly, without communicating with each other.
Mo Baichun glanced around somewhat awkwardly. As the introducer, she had to be a witness to today's assessment, but she didn't know why the head of the Zhuge family invited these two gods over.
On her left hand side, there was a young man in a lake blue gown, with a face as beautiful as a red and black painting. He was the most famous and well-deserved Yuanying senior brother of the Zhuge family, and the only one in the Yin-Yang School, Zhuge Ziying.
This guy is also the most handsome man in the Jiuhe Realm and even in the entire Tianshi Star Alliance's thirty-nine realms. On the first day Mo Baichun entered the Zhuge family, she was stunned by his handsome appearance and her heart was pounding just by catching a glimpse of his profile.
But this guy is a real iceberg. He is not arrogant, but just has a expressionless face and doesn't like to talk. He is particularly annoyed by the opposite sex approaching him. It may be because he is too handsome and was traumatized by the crazy pursuit of others in the past.
Mo Baichun had been in the Zhuge family for three or four years, and had never seen Zhuge Ziying have any other expression. He had heard him speak no more than five times, and each time he spoke no more than three words.
So she decisively changed her target and reached out to her silly younger brother Zhuge Zigan, who had a very nice smile. All the Zhuge family members had the word "Zi" in their names, so not all of them were born of the same mother.
Mo Baichun stared at Zhuge Ziying's peerless profile for a few times. She always felt that Zhuge Ziying's profile was more handsome than his front face. When she noticed that Zhuge Ziying frowned slightly, Mo Baichun quickly looked away and looked at the old man on the other side.
This old man had a haughty look on his face, and his eyes, eyebrows, and beard tips were all full of arrogance, as if he looked down on everyone. He was also in the late Nascent Soul stage.
He is Fan Mingshan, one of the guest elders of the Zhuge family. He has been in the Zhuge family for more than 30 years. Mo Baichun has heard a lot about him.
It is said that he is a powerful figure, with sophisticated skills in making Yanjia, and most of the Yanjia he made are fine products. During the first twenty years after joining the Zhuge family, he worked diligently, constantly learning and improving his skills.
Later in the Zhuge family, even the armor-making elder named Zhuge could not surpass his skills, and often humbly asked him for advice. Gradually, he developed an arrogance that seemed to be invincible. He looked down on everyone and often scolded the disciples who came to learn from him.
What's even more outrageous is that when it's obvious that he didn't explain clearly, if the disciples asked him a few more questions, he would scold them and say they were worthless. He also often used punishment as an excuse to split up his own armor-making tasks and let his disciples complete them.
There are countless examples of such things as delaying delivery deadlines, being arrogant and conceited, and being lazy.
Mo Baichun felt that the reason why the head of the Zhuge family asked Fan Mingshan to come here today might be to deal with him.
Although the Zhuge family is very generous and respectful to talented people, they are by no means the kind of people who can be bullied.
Let alone anything else, just look at Zhuge Shou now. His left chest, left shoulder and left arm are all made of Yanjia. Just by looking at these, you can know that Zhuge Shou is a ruthless person.
When he was young, he fought on the front lines of the battlefield between the humans and demons of the Taiwei Star Alliance for nearly a hundred years, from the early Jindan stage to the early Yuanying stage.
The most powerful time was when he went deep into the rear of the demon clan alone, set up traps in advance, and controlled thousands of Yanjia to kill nearly 10,000 reinforcements of the demon clan, ensuring the perfect victory of the Taiwei Star Alliance's counterattack and recovering the lost territory.
It was also in that battle that Zhuge Shou was seriously injured and lost the left half of his upper body. When he was found, he was only breathing his last breath and was almost swallowed by a swarm of magic octopuses.
Although Nascent Soul cultivators can reshape their bodies, Zhuge Shou, in order to improve his own combat power, directly combined his own body with the Yan Jia and replaced it with a Thousand Machine Arm.
He is truly a strong and brave hero!
Therefore, such people would never tolerate someone like Fan Mingshan who is lazy, arrogant and conceited to continue staying in the Zhuge family and harming the disciples of the Zhuge family.
"Master, Daoist Fellow Wangshu is here."
Zhuge Zigan and Jiang Yuebai walked over from the corridor bridge. Mo Baichun came back to his senses and turned around, nodding and smiling at Zhuge Zigan who was also looking over.
Jiang Yuebai saw that Zhuge Shou, the head of the Zhuge family, was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He thought that like other sects and families, the cultivators who had attained the Divine Transformation stage became the supreme elders and lived in seclusion to practice.
Jiang Yuebai heard that the Zhuge family had another ancestor who was practicing the void. He had been in seclusion for more than a hundred years and was in a critical period of cutting off the void.
When Zhuge Zigan introduced Zhuge Ziying, Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment by his elegant appearance. However, compared to Shen Mingjing whom he met last time under the Taixuan Mine, Zhuge Ziying still lacked that refreshing charm.
He was too cold, as if someone owed him eight million spirit stones and refused to pay. Moreover, when she bowed to him, he didn't even move his hand, didn't say a word, and even showed a look of disgust.
Zhuo Qingfeng didn't owe him this much back then!
The other old man named Fan Mingshan was very kind and greeted her happily.
"You are so young, but you have already reached the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. Your future is limitless. I wonder where you have been cultivating before?"
Before Jiang Yuebai could answer, Zhuge Shou coughed lightly.
"First of all, the Zhuge family has been kind to Daoist Wangshu. Selecting talents has always been the most important thing for the Zhuge family, so I will be personally present to supervise every assessment of the guest elders."
Jiang Yuebai nodded. It could be seen that Zhuge Shou was an open-minded person and the impression they had made on him during their first meeting was quite good.
Zhuge Shou glanced at the smiling Fan Mingshan and said, "The guest elders of the Zhuge family also have the rule of three years of small examinations and five years of big examinations. For those who fail the examinations, the Zhuge family can only reluctantly terminate the contract. After all, the Zhuge family does not support idle people, but only seeks elites to seek a win-win situation."
"Today is also the time for Elder Fan's five-year exam. I would like to invite Elder Fan to take the exam with fellow Daoist Wangshu. In addition, although Ziying is a Yin-Yang master, he has been interested in Yanjia since he was a child. I also want to test my level. I wonder if Elder Fan minds?"
Jiang Yuebai looked around and felt an undercurrent. Wasn't this her test
Now it feels like Zhuge Shou wants Zhuge Zi to respond to a layman in Yanjia Dao and slap the face of Fan Mingshan, an expert.
So, she ran into a dragon-tiger fight
Then what is she
Cat
Fan Mingshan's eyes twitched slightly, but a smile rose on his face. "No problem, no problem. It's fine for us to take the test together. If Ziying doesn't understand something, I can just give him some guidance. If the Zhuge family can produce another genius with dual meridians and dual unique abilities, then the Zhuge family will remember my contribution."
Mo Baichun and Zhuge Ziqian looked at each other, both with helplessness in their eyes.
However, they only realized at this time what Zhuge Shou was planning. If he couldn't even beat Zhuge Ziying, who was not proficient in Yanjia, during Fan Mingshan's assessment, then he would definitely not have the face to stay any longer.
If he could take the initiative to leave, it would be good for both parties and would not damage the relationship. If the Zhuge family compensated him a little, they could keep a friend instead of gaining an enemy.
After all, Fan Mingshan is quite capable, but his character is not good. He is not suitable to teach the disciples in the Zhuge family, and will set a bad example.
Zhuge Shou must have seen this very clearly.
The reason why Zhuge Ziying was sent to compete was probably because among the current Zhuge family's Yuanying stage Yanjia masters, there were only a few who could defeat Fan Mingshan.
Zhuge Ziying is a genius and he is confident in himself, so he can give it a try.
Zhuge Shou looked at Jiang Yuebai again, "Don't blame me, Daoist Wangshu. As long as you reach the passing line for today's assessment, you can pass it. It does not conflict with the assessments of the other two."
Jiang Yuebai nodded. It didn't matter. As long as the two of them didn't affect her from joining the Zhuge family, she wouldn't care even if they rolled on the ground and scratched each other.
