"Why is there another layer …"
Lan Yue's actions shocked the crowd. Everyone was protective of their children, but it was rare to see someone so protective that he couldn't tell right from wrong.
Lan Yue's actions were shameful, but they were curious to see Lin Qingrou's true face.
Unfortunately, Lin Qingrou's silver mask didn't reveal her face, but a full mask.
Lin Qingrou picked it up and put it back on.
"This woman is so shameless. No fun at all!" Lan Tianci fumed.
Shan Ji slammed the Buddhist staff in his hand down, "Vice-chief Lan, you may be above tens of thousands of people in the Experts Alliance, but don't forget the weight of our Tiannan Province branch!"
"Silver Heroine is our leader's adopted daughter. Anyone who offends her is the same as going against the entire Tiannan Province branch!"
"Forget it."
Lin Qingrou said indifferently.
"Vice-chief Lan, let's put an end to this, or the Tiannan Province branch's leader will lose face …"
"Yeah, that's it. Let's just pretend this never happened."
A group of people came to smooth things over.
Lan Tianci stared at Lin Qingrou for a long time. Everyone was sweating. One word from Lan Tianci and Lan Yue would protect her again. Things would get out of hand then.
Thankfully, Lan Tianci lost interest after staring at Lin Qingrou for a long time and said nothing.
Lin Qingrou walked past Li Mo. The two were very close, but Lin Qingrou acted as if she didn't see Li Mo at all.
The two were classmates, but not to mention friends, they didn't even socialize. Be it the past life or this one, Lin Qingrou rarely went to school. And when she did, she didn't interact with any of her classmates.
Cold wasn't the right word to describe her. Two different worlds were more apt.
"The gathering of the three ferocious in the Experts Alliance is truly a huge event. I thought the Experts Alliance's reputation would only worsen after the old chief went into seclusion." "That's right.
Bai Wudi waved his fan behind Li Mo.
"Who's the last ferocious man?"
"The last ferocious man is even more mysterious than Silver Heroine. He's the one who stole the time-space treasury from hundreds of experts."
Li Mo was shocked.
It seemed like the Bai family's intelligence department wasn't that great. They found out that he was a Level 4 expert, but they didn't know that the mysterious man in black was him.
But of course Li Mo wouldn't tell Bai Wudi.
"Jiang Qingxue, Shan Ji, Lin Qingrou, and the mysterious man in black. Any one of them has the strength to reach the second place on the Heaven Ranking."
Li Mo asked, "Second on the Heaven Board?
Why isn't it first? "
Bai Wudi answered without hesitation, "Because Zhou Mengxian is first on the Heaven Board. In China's Expert World, unless Zhou Mengxian claims second, who would dare claim first?"
Li Mo said, "I heard your grandfather learned the Bai clan's five arts. He's no weaker than Zhou Mengxian, right?"
Bai Wudi jumped in fright. He looked around and waved his hands.
"Y-y-you, don't talk nonsense."
Making sure no one was looking, Bai Wudi lowered his voice, "Who told you that?"
"It's not a secret in the Expert World, is it?"
"How could it not be? My grandfather only mastered the fourth skill four months ago when he went crazy. That's a top secret of the Bai Clan. Even within the Bai Clan, only a handful of people know about it. How could an outsider know about it?"
"Speak, who told you that?"
"I think it was you."
"Me?
When did I tell you?
Why don't I remember? "
"Was it when I drank too much last time?
Why don't I have any recollection of it? I guess I shouldn't drink too much next time.
Li Mo walked away, leaving Bai Wudi in deep thought.
That night, Li Mo couldn't go home to train his magic weapon because Bai Wudi kept pestering him, making it hard for him to leave.
The next day, in an abandoned field overgrown with weeds, the thirty branch members took their places. Lan Yue walked on stage and announced the start of the Expert Trials.
The rules were simple. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird were divided into four groups. Their opponents would be decided by drawing lots, with one winner emerging from each group to fight for the championship.
The contestants drew lots and Li Mo was in the Vermilion Bird group, with the fourth lot.
Number four was the fourth person to go on stage.
The first match was between Shenjing's Frozone, Sun Wei, and Xixiang's Jiang Qingxue.
The first seeded contestant of the Expert Examination Assembly was the first to fight, which immediately caused quite a stir.
Jiang Qingshuang wore traditional Miao clothing, walking gracefully on the field. She looked just like her sister, Jiang Qingshuang. Standing next to each other, they looked like twins.
Sun Wei maintained his wretched pose before Jiang Qingxue. Not because he was addicted to it, but because as long as he didn't do it, the cold would invade his body.
"Begin!"
Jiang Qingxue left the field as soon as the announcer called.
"What?"
"Forfeit?"
"No way. How can the rumored Four Ferals admit defeat without even fighting?"
"I don't get it."
Not only did the audience not understand, even Sun Wei did not understand. He looked at Jiang Qingxue's back and was puzzled for a long time before he cracked a smile and said, "This chick is afraid that I will grab her breasts …"
Pff ~
Sun Wei didn't even get to finish when blood spurted from his neck, followed by his whole body. Sun Wei's eyes widened as he fell to the ground.
"What happened?"
"What's going on …"
"T-that's the power of the Four Ferals?"
"One move, one move to kill Frozman Sun Wei!"
Jiang Qingxue's one move shocked the crowd.
"Do you know what just happened?
Don't you?
Want to know? "
Bai Wudi waved his fan, tempting Li Mo.
But Li Mo was expressionless, not reacting to his words at all.
"Don't you want to know what Jiang Qingxue did?"
Li Mo was expressionless.
"Y-you're a pain in the ass!"
"I give it to you. Jiang Qingxue had a tiny bug fly on Sun Wei's body. That bug's bite is hard to heal, hence the blood spurting. Got it?"
Li Mo was still expressionless.
"So boring, so boring …" Bai Wudi shook his head.
"Chuan Province's Wang Jian versus Mobei Province's Omnipotent Sage, Zhang Ji!"
The second contestant went on stage. Li Mo didn't know Chuan Province's Wang Jian, but Omnipotent Sage, Zhang Ji.
The guy with the birthmark chasing after Li Mo all day was Omnipotent Sage, Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji asked Wang Jian, "What's your level?"
"Second level physical art, and you?"
"First level physical art. I'm just here to watch. Please be gentle!" Zhang Ji was very polite.
"Begin!"
"Watch my punch!"
Zhang Qi screamed and threw a straight punch at Wang Jian. Wang Jian easily avoided it, but at this moment, Zhang Qi's arm suddenly stretched a lot, his hand strangely turned, grabbed Wang Jian's neck, and pressed him to the ground.
Zhang Ji was known as Omnipotent Sage. His ability was to extend and change his arm at will.
Wang Jian knew nothing of his ability and fell for it in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Qi ruthlessly hammered Wang Jian. When he stood up from Wang Jian's body, Wang Jian was already foaming at the mouth and unconscious.
"Not easy, not easy. Ha-ha-ha, sorry for the embarrassment."
