Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 298 Members

Song Wen touched his chin and said, "What are our admission criteria? We can't just let all the ugly ones in, right?"

Liu Jiqian said in a gentle tone: "Junior Brother Song, the members of the Common People's Alliance value character. Since they have come in, they are not ugly people. As for recruiting, they have discussed it and used the Phantom Spirit Grass obtained earlier and the magic tools borrowed from the sect master to set up the test environment."

Gu Jinzhi was very curious: "What is the test?"

Yan Qingshu chuckled: "Let them be in the situation, arrange various unexpected situations, keep changing the environment, observe their reactions, and evaluate and score them from all aspects."

This was even more devilish than the illusion they had encountered at that time. Song Wen didn't even need to think about it to know who came up with this devilish idea. He felt sympathy for those people for a second, but...

"Grading? I want to check it out too!"

Gu Jinzhi also came over: "I want one too, I want one too."

Lu Wensheng was somewhat helpless: "All go, all go."

The leader of the alliance was in charge of scoring, but he could not help but encourage the hall masters who were still alone to show their enthusiasm, so the jury was expanded from seven to more than ten people. This was because some hall masters were not interested and the two guardians did not go, otherwise there would be not enough seats at the round table.

The candidates, bah, the monks entered the illusion in batches for the test, while the others were waiting outside. In addition to the disciples of the Discipline Hall who were conscripted on a daily basis, the disciples from the other four major sects were also called by their senior brothers and sisters to help.

It can be said that the disciples established the Common People's Alliance and almost hollowed out their own sect. Just looking at the sect that is mostly empty, I wonder how the sect master and elders feel.

However, those who came to participate could be called competitors. There were crowds of people, clearly in their own small groups. However, most of them were alone and did not talk much to others. The majority were independent cultivators.

"Is it necessary for these independent cultivators to come here? Their foundation is poor, and some of them are already quite old, right? Is there any room for improvement? Wouldn't it be a waste of resources if they joined the Common People Alliance?"

The person who spoke was a disciple from a fairly large sect. He looked at some monks who couldn't even afford to wear cassocks and were obviously independent practitioners, with a mocking look on his face. He didn't raise his voice deliberately, but it was very clear among the monks with good hearing.

“Brother Wang, even so, it’s not good to be too blunt.”

"Hahaha, I think that's right."

The disciples who were with "Senior Brother Wang" all had a joking look on their faces.

There is also a chain of contempt in the world of cultivation. These helpless cultivators naturally do not have the confidence like the disciples of the sects. When they are ridiculed, they just remain silent. Although they feel aggrieved, they cannot refute - if they are very talented, they would not be wandering cultivators.

As for those independent cultivators who are doing well, who are not old and cunning? They think they are different from those independent cultivators who can only "make ends meet", so why would they help to speak up and attract the dislike of the disciples of the sect?

"If you think you are noble, then why did you come to participate in the selection with us casual cultivators? Shouldn't you be directly recruited?"

Disciple Wang felt extremely embarrassed after being suddenly refuted. He looked towards the source of the voice and said, "What do you know?!"

Who is so bold as to challenge these arrogant disciples? The casual cultivators looked at the person who was speaking - but they had to admit that they felt very happy when they saw the arrogant disciples being criticized.

"I don't understand, but don't cry if you don't get selected." The man said in a light tone, but with a hint of sarcasm.

"Humph, anyway, the chances are higher than those of you casual cultivators."

This tone, as if talking about inferior people, made many casual cultivators feel uncomfortable. They looked at the disciple surnamed Wang with unfriendly eyes. Although they didn't say anything, some of them were thinking and pondering...

There is one bad thing about sect disciples, which is that sometimes they don't understand the ways of the world, or their moral standards need to be lowered, and their experience is not as good as that of independent cultivators - independent cultivators can grow up in a wild way, either they don't understand the ways of the world, are good at observing people's words and expressions, or they are very powerful. If they are slandered for no reason like this, they may suffer in the future.

Most of the independent cultivators are smooth-talking, but underneath the surface, none of them are truly good. The sect disciples look down on them, but don’t they also think that the sect disciples are naive?

Trouble comes from the mouth. If you are hated by the independent cultivators, although you will not die because of your identity as a sect disciple, you may still end up living a life worse than death, and you won't even know who has done that to you.

"Sometimes, we should be more careful with our words. It is not gentlemanly to laugh at others from a high position..."

The ones who spoke out to stop them were disciples from the Discipline Hall, who were responsible for maintaining order. At the same time, these order maintainers were also responsible for observing the performance of these people and also had some scoring power.

Explain the reasons for adding or deducting points - they are the part that adds extra points.

The disciple from the Discipline Hall simply pointed out the other person without saying much, so as not to disturb the performance of others and hinder their observation. But he had made up his mind - he would report this person and deduct points when he got back. Such petty behavior made him angry.

He was still wearing the uniform of the Discipline Hall, black clothes and red belt, which was well-known in the world of cultivation. Several disciples from other sects immediately fell silent - there were also differences between sects, and the disciples of the Discipline Hall were even more elite, whom he could not afford to offend.

The disciple looked at the casual cultivator who had boldly refuted: "What's your name?" It is commendable and extra points for having the courage to refute "authority".

Hearing this, there were many people who cast gloating glances, thinking that the sect disciples were closer to each other than a helpless independent cultivator. This independent cultivator would either be scolded or driven away - one less competitor is one less.

The other person had a handsome face, regular features, and was surprisingly young. His green shirt made his figure stand tall and straight, like a towering pine tree on the cliff. He was very upright and was not afraid of being questioned. He did not avoid looking and his voice was crisp.

"Self-cultivator Yu Shuoyang!"

The disciples of the Discipline Hall were influenced by their surroundings and liked to look at disciples who were clean, upright and full of vitality. Seeing this, the disciple was immediately more satisfied. Yu Shuoyang gave him a very good impression.

But I couldn't show it too obviously. I could only nod, give her some encouragement with my eyes, and then leave.

Yu Shuoyang had prepared himself to be scolded, but he didn't expect the other party to nod, give him a puzzled look and leave. He breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little uneasy in his heart - could that look be a warning to him that he was going to be made difficult for?

Yu Shuoyang was a little hesitant about whether to leave, but after thinking it over, he decided to stay.

The Cangsheng League does not have some of the responsibilities of a sect. It is more like a platform for part-time opportunities organized by a group. Members who join can have a protected status and can complete tasks in exchange for resources - this is exactly the opportunity that independent cultivators lack the most.
