Ye stood up and said: "Let's go, no need to make such a fuss, I will take you out."
Slowly putting away the wine glasses on the table, Ye walked out first after saying that. He glanced at Xiao Chen behind him and said, "You are so lucky. That girl Liu Ruyue came down to look for her in person not long ago. you."
Sister Ruyue came to look for him. Xiao Chen was shocked and said, "Then what did you tell her? Are you telling the truth?"
"Am I stupid? I don't know her character yet. To be honest with her, she will definitely go to Biyun Peak to fight for her life immediately." Ye said lightly.
Xiao Chen was speechless for a moment because of him. Not long after leaving, Ye spoke again: "What is your relationship with Leng Liusu?"
"Leng Liusu? It doesn't matter, I'm not familiar with her." Xiao Chen said doubtfully, not knowing why Ye would ask this.
Ye Dao: "This is strange. She used her identity as the Young Pavilion Master to send people to me several times to look for you directly through the Council of Elders."
Leng Liusu also came to find him. Xiao Chen really didn't understand what was going on. He wanted to ask Ye specifically what was going on, but looking at his expression, he shrank back when he spoke.
Ye took Xiao Chen all the way and led him to a small teleportation array. When the few people guarding the array saw Ye, they respectfully said: "Elder Ye, are you here to see someone off?"
Ye nodded and said to Xiao Chen: "Go up, and you can leave this hellish place. I have already finished your task for you, just go and hand it in."
Xiao Chen was about to step in front of the teleportation formation when he turned around and asked, "Didn't you pay a price for killing Song Que's arm?"
After all, he was the master of a peak. Xiao Chen really couldn't imagine why Ye was so calm.
Ye Qingqing smiled and said: "The price is that I have to stay in this place for ten more years. Now that you are so active, I really feel that it is not worth it."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get out!"
flutter!
Ye suddenly kicked out and kicked Xiao Chen's butt abruptly. Xiao Chen threw forward and landed in front of the teleportation array, and rays of light rose from the ground.
Countless symbols flashed, and Xiao Chen's body disappeared in a flash.
In the haze, it was pitch black. Xiao Chen felt that his body seemed to be infinitely stretched, and then spots of light appeared. After a moment, he regained control of his body.
"Where is this?" Xiao Chen looked at the surrounding environment and found that he was in a small room. There were no traces of array patterns on the ground. It should be just a one-way teleportation array.
He opened the door gently and walked out, just in time to see the counter in the Hall of Merit. The old man behind the counter was slightly startled when he saw Xiao Chen.
With a wave of his hand, the wooden plaque around Xiao Chen's waist quickly flew into his hand, and it turned out that he was back in the Hall of Merit.
The old man looked at the number on the wooden sign and smiled softly at Xiao Chen: "Ye Chen, congratulations on completing the task. This is a merit point for you."
The old man took out some black copper coins from under the counter, handed them to Xiao Chen and said, "Click it and Ye will give you an excellent rating. The total is a thousand merit points."
Take these black copper coins, there are ten of them in total. They are all pitch black, round on the outside and square on the inside. They also contain a strange qi, which cannot be imitated.
The old man went on to explain that there are three colors of merit points. The white one represents one merit point, the red one represents one, and the black one represents one hundred merit points.
Xiao Chen had lived in the underground world for nearly two months. At this moment, he was a little eager to return to Qingyun Peak and report that Liu Ruyue was safe, so he didn't have much patience to listen to the old man's words and was ready to leave directly.
"Wait a minute, don't leave yet. It's your first time to complete a high-level mission. I have something to tell you." The old man stopped Xiao Chen and walked out.
A faint smile appeared on the old man's old face, "Young man, don't be too impatient. This is your best reward."
Xiao Chen was puzzled, slowly calmed down, and followed the old man. The old man took Xiao Chen and walked all the way to the back of the first floor of Merit Hall. Many people on the road watched the old man personally leading Xiao Chen, and they all guessed about Xiao Chen's identity.
"The deacon elder of the Hall of Merit actually leads the way in person. Who is this person from? I've never seen him before. None of the true disciples are treated like this."
"I haven't seen it either. What is his background? Could it be more noble than his status as a true disciple?"
"It's him. Look at the badge on his waist. He's the disciple from Qingyun Peak. He's Ye Chen!" Someone with sharp eyes in the crowd said immediately after seeing the silver badge on Xiao Chen's waist.
There are only two men in Qingyun Peak now, one is Liu Suifeng and the other is Ye Chen. Everyone knows Liu Suifeng. Since it is not Liu Suifeng, then Ye Chen's identity can be revealed.
"It turns out it's really him. He disappeared for two months and then reappeared. The people from Wanren Peak have been looking for him for a long time."
"I heard that the second most powerful core disciple in Wanren Peak, Kuai Dao Lin Feng, has already said that he will settle accounts with him whenever he shows up."
"I just saw a few Wanren Peak disciples leaving. They should have gone to inform Lin Feng that there will be a good show later."
Xiao Chen heard all this and didn't pay too much attention to it. As long as the elders didn't take action, he now has the confidence to face any core disciple of Tiandao Pavilion.
The so-called obstacles should be regarded as adding more practical experience to yourself. Unexpectedly, the old man's identity was well hidden, and he was far from being as ordinary as he seemed on the surface.
The old man's expression was like that of an ancient well, showing no signs of trouble. After walking to a hall, he said calmly: "Here we are, this is the ranking hall. You can find your place in it."
The hall is quite wide, with ten wooden walls standing in the center. There is a group of people surrounding each wooden sign, either shaking their heads and sighing, or looking excited, and everyone's expression is different.
Taking Xiao Chen to the wooden sign at the back, the crowd immediately gave way when they saw the old man's figure. Xiao Chen also found that the expressions on the faces of the warriors gathered in front of this wooden wall were quite depressed. .
"Tiandao Pavilion has a total of five thousand inner disciples, and the number has always been fixed. These five thousand disciples have rankings. The one you see is the bottom five hundred inner disciples. There will be a ranking battle at the end of the year. After that, the last five hundred disciples will be directly deprived of their status as inner disciples," the old man explained to Xiao Chen from the side.
It turns out that this is the case. No wonder the inner disciples gathered here look bad. It turns out that the elimination system of Tiandao Pavilion is so strict that five hundred disciples are eliminated every year.
Xiao Chen looked towards the wooden wall. The wooden wall was divided into ten rows, with a hundred small wooden signs placed on each row. Each wooden plaque represents the identity of this inner disciple.
It contained simple information such as the person's name, realm, and peak. Xiao Chen looked for it and found his wooden sign after a while.
He was very conspicuously ranked, the last one in the tenth row, that is, the last one among the five thousand disciples in the entire Tiandao Pavilion. It says Ye Chen of Qingyun Peak, the lower realm of a great martial artist.
The outer deacon of the Gongde Hall took down the wooden sign representing Xiao Chen. The wooden sign on the entire wooden wall suddenly moved like a puzzle. The rankings of everyone on the wooden wall moved backward. name.
The old man took Xiao Chen's wooden sign, went directly to the front wooden sign, and placed Xiao Chen's wooden sign in the last position of the tenth row.
Xiao Chen's ranking was immediately raised by 500 places. The crowd was immediately excited. They had never seen anyone who could be ranked 500 places higher in an instant.
"It's not fair. I worked hard to do sect tasks and accumulate strength, but I couldn't advance ten places in a month. How come he advanced five hundred places all of a sudden."
"Yes, I have been practicing hard for several months at a time, and I can only challenge the ten people in front of me, and I can advance ten places at most. How come this person suddenly entered the top five hundred."
The expression on the old man's face remained unchanged. He slowly turned around and looked at everyone. The noise immediately stopped and became extremely quiet.
"If you are among the bottom five hundred, complete a high-level task for a sect for the first time, and receive an excellent evaluation, you can get rid of the bottom five hundred."
Only then did everyone remember that there was indeed such a rule in the Ranking Hall, but they couldn't receive high-level tasks at all. All they could receive were extremely dangerous high-level tasks, and it was difficult to get excellent evaluations.
Therefore, for a long time, no one in Tiandao Pavilion used such a method to improve their ranking, and everyone was a little excited.
Xiao Chen didn't pay much attention to all this. To him, Tiandao Pavilion was just a stop. After he learned how to hear the sword and channel spirits, he would probably leave. He had no intention of staying here for a long time.
The Tianwu Continent is so big. Xiao Chen has already set his sights on the entire continent. Perhaps the Tiandao Pavilion is a very powerful force in Da Qin.
But looking at the entire continent, or looking at the entire world, beyond the Tianwu Continent, there is an endless sea. Beyond that endless sea, I heard that there are countless islands.
There are countless strong people there. Thinking about it this way, Tianjian Pavilion is really nothing, so Xiao Chen doesn't care much about the identity of this inner disciple.
"Okay, I'll leave first if I have something else to do. You will naturally understand the other rules in the future." The old man said calmly.
Finally, he glanced at Xiao Chen meaningfully and said, "Finally, I have some words for you. Young people should not be too sharp, nor should they be too ambitious, or have a too broad vision. The Tiandao Pavilion can last forever, which is far less than you think. So simple.”
"The so-called genius is the cheapest thing here. Don't always hang your heart on the ground, sink down, blend in, and take a good look at this mountain. It's far more exciting than you imagine."
Xiao Chen had an expression of extreme shock on his face, and the old man seemed to have read through his own thoughts with just a quick glance.
