Chapter 185 The First Largest Sect with the Surname Bai
The three people who came were none other than Shi Chun and his two companions.
The next moment, Bian Weiying left the soldier who was asking questions in front of her and ran towards Shi Chun excitedly. At that moment, there was really only one person in her eyes and she almost rushed up to hug him. Fortunately, the person next to her was not dead, so she controlled her impulse and emotions in time.
He also had to try hard to transform into the original Bian Weiying in an instant, nodded and smiled at the three people, saying: "I'm back."
Wu Jinliang chuckled, as soon as he saw this woman, he could remember the smacking sound in the dark.
Shi Chun nodded, but he didn't react much. He led the people in first and talked about it later.
Xiang Lan'er, who was accompanying them, was not a fool. She saw clearly who Bian Weiying was amazed at for a moment. When she thought of the two guys not coming back that night, her heart skipped a beat. If she had only suspected before, now she was almost 100% sure that there was an affair between the two.
She understood at a glance what Bian Weiying was trying hard to hide at this moment.
She couldn't figure out how this could happen. Based on what she knew about Bian Weiying's personality, she shouldn't have experienced such a change in such a short period of time. This was also the reason why she was so suspicious before.
Now that it is confirmed, she has to face an upcoming problem. Shi Chun and Bian Weiying are in a relationship. What changes will this bring to the situation in Wukang Mountain? Will it have any impact on her lurking in Wukang Mountain?
Shi Chun had a clear conscience. When he got inside, he roughly divided the pile of black cloth bags thrown on the ground according to the previous agreement. I got half and you got half. There was no specific number. Anyway, there was no standard number for each bag, so the difference would not be that big.
Finally, there were a few bags left. When Bian Weiying was wondering, Shi Chun said to her, "Senior sister, this is yours."
Bian Weiying naturally knew what these black cloth bags contained, but the scale looked too abnormal.
She had waited here for so long and had seen with her own eyes how other sects handed in their loot. It was good enough if they could take out a bulging bag. Even Bai Shuchuan's group seemed to have only taken out less than two bags. They should have shared some with their accomplices from other sects.
So he asked in some doubt: "What is this?"
Shi Chun and the other two laughed immediately. Wu Jinliang chuckled, "What else could it be except the Insect Crystal?"
"So many?" Bian Weiying was shocked.
Without much explanation, under the gaze of the soldiers, it was difficult to explain anything, so Shi Chun and the other two took the black cloth bag and went to hand it in.
The process includes verifying identity, counting the number of insect crystals, and handing over the mother-child talismans.
The mother-and-child talismans issued by the royal court are useless even if you take them out. They are different from those sold outside. They are specially refined, just like the bracelets worn by the participants, and can be located and discovered.
With so many insect crystals piled up in front of them, the soldier in charge of registration asked, "Should we count them all together, or should we count them separately?"
Shi Chun said without hesitation: "Separate them, whoever has it will own it."
Anyway, the total number will still be accumulated to the corresponding sect.
Seeing that no one else had any objections, the soldiers in charge of the inventory immediately acted accordingly.
During the counting of the insect crystals, the soldiers near and far were quite moved. They were whispering to each other and pointing at this side.
Shi Chun was very satisfied with this. Seeing these soldiers look like they had never seen the world before, it proved that his prediction of taking first place was correct.
During the inventory process, Bian Weiying was still caught off guard when she saw a large number of Insect Crystals appear. She looked at Shi Chun with disbelief. This guy had said before that he wanted to be the first, but she really thought he was just talking. After all, how could it be possible?
She wanted to make a good contribution to Wukangshan, but wasn’t the contribution a little too great? Could Wukangshan afford it?
The audience in front of the mirror was in an uproar, with the buzzing sound difficult to dissipate.
On the best stand, Wei Mo, with his hands behind his back, also went to the corner and strolled back and forth alone. He looked calm, and from time to time he glanced at the mirror image who was counting the insect crystals.
Young Master Nan leaned against the window of the small building, feeling uneasy. The repeated changes were too stressful. No one could guarantee if there would be any unexpected changes until the final solution was reached.
"Brother Bian, are you from Wukang Mountain going to win the first place in Shengshenzhou?" The leader of a nearby sect sent a similar greeting to Bian Jixiong.
Bian Jixiong didn't know how to answer. He kept begging for mercy and said nothing. God knew what was going on. Anyway, his heart was in turmoil and he felt really uncomfortable.
After repeated cross-counting in front of the Xun Gate, the results came out.
Shi Chun had 22,005 pearls, Wu Jinliang had 11,410 pearls, Xiang Lan'er had 5,993 pearls, Bian Weiying had 5,431 pearls, and Shengzhou Wukangshan had a total of 44,839 pearls.
When the total came out, Xiang Lan'er was surprised, and Wu Jinliang also exclaimed, "Isn't this number right?"
They remembered that the total number was 45,668, so how come there were a few hundred missing?
Unexpectedly, Shi Chun replied, "Yes, that's the number."
The reason why there is a discrepancy with the previous number is that he casually put a bag into his Qiankun bracelet. There is no other reason, he just did it on impulse. There are so many, there is no need to hand them all over, right?
The main reason is that I can't figure out the true value of this Insect Crystal. Since I have the Qiankun Bracelet, I might as well keep some for backup.
Wu Jinliang was stunned, but seeing that he was serious, he didn't say anything else.
Although Xiang Lan'er was also surprised, she knew that Shi Chun must have a reason for saying so, so she didn't say anything. After confirming that everything was correct and everything was recorded, the four of them walked towards the Xun Gate.
Seeing the four people entering Xun Gate, Master Nan in the window of the small building jumped out directly, leaving no care for the distinguished guests and slipped away.
In the best stands, Wei Mo and Chi Rang almost simultaneously turned around and left.
Those domain lords also stood up one after another and left. No one greeted them, but they all went in the same direction.
They were rather unscrupulous, and left the pavilions and towers, flew away into the air, and directly crossed the sky above the royal capital.
On the other side of Xunmen, thousands of people gathered in an open space similar to a besieged city.
Those who are clean and hide until the end are more self-conscious and stand quietly to the side, not annoying anyone and not getting in anyone's way. This group is the majority.
Those whose bodies were dirty, torn and stained with blood, as if they had survived a disaster, were in the middle, and some were even chatting and laughing.
People who come out of Xun Gate one after another will be stopped by the guards, and the bracelets on their wrists will be cut off with corresponding sharp weapons and taken away.
A man who was chatting and laughing with Bai Shuchuan suddenly looked towards the exit and said, "Isn't that Brother Xie from Chaoyang Palace? Brother Xie, come here."
Wave hello.
A ragged man, leading seven or eight accomplices, walked towards this side, bowed and exchanged polite words with everyone.
Bai Shuchuan pulled at his tattered clothes and said, "Brother Xie, you look like you have worked very hard. I guess you have gained a lot from this trip, right?"
Whenever he saw a team of some significance coming back, he would take the initiative to check it out to determine the significance of his trip.
The man surnamed Xie waved his hands and smiled bitterly, "Not really. It was just bad luck. It was almost over, and I ran into a group of Xuanzhou people on the way. I sacrificed a lot of insect crystals to save my life. It's good enough to come back alive, so what's the point of talking about gains. As for you, Brother Bai, needless to say, you must have gained a lot."
Bai Shuchuan was quite pleased with himself after hearing the praises, but he said modestly, "It's not like I've gained a lot. After all, I've made over a thousand in Jieyun Mountain. I hope I can get the job done."
"Brother Bai, you are too modest. Your family has over a thousand. If you can't handle this, then we..." The man surnamed Xie was startled as he spoke, as if he remembered something, and tried to ask: "Brother Bai, is there another person surnamed Bai on your trip to Jieyun Mountain?"
Bai Shuchuan was slightly startled, not knowing why he came here, and said with certainty: "No, among my fellow apprentices, I am the only one with the surname Bai."
After saying this, he found that the other group of people who had just come out were looking at him strangely.
The man surnamed Xie asked again, "There is a sect called Youxiashan in Xuanzhou. Brother Bai, have you ever dealt with them?"
While asking, he carefully observed Bai Shuchuan's subtle reactions.
Bai Shuchuan was a little confused. He really had no impression of it. He turned around and looked at his fellow disciples, asking for advice. Seeing that they all shook their heads in confusion, he also shook his head and responded, "No, why do you say that, Brother Xie?"
It seemed that they really had no contact, so the man surnamed Xie hesitated and said, "The group of Xuanzhou people we ran into saw that we were from Shengzhou, so they asked us if we knew a man surnamed Bai, who said he was from the largest sect in Shengzhou."
Bai Shuchuan became more and more confused, "Why are the people from Xuanzhou asking about me?"
The man surnamed Xie said nothing and looked at the others, who immediately smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that there is a beautiful female disciple in Youxia Mountain who was raped by a man surnamed Bai from the largest sect in Shengzhou. They can't remember Bai's name, so they asked us if we know him and the whereabouts of Bai. It seems that they want revenge."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around looked at Bai Shuchuan with strange eyes.
"..." Bai Shuchuan was at a loss at first, and then hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that the scumbag surnamed Bai must be someone else, but then he thought again. If he said that, wouldn't it be self-denial that Jieyun Mountain is the largest sect in Shengzhou? It is impossible to admit it. He immediately became anxious and cursed: "Bullshit, which bastard is framing me? We have never fought with the Xuanzhou people, let alone know any Youxiashan. The people around me can prove it."
Just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly exclaimed from a few people outside, "Now that you mention it, I remember that we also encountered a small group of Xuanzhou people. When they learned that we were from Shengzhou, they also asked us if there was anyone with the surname Bai among us. They were quite polite and said that they were asked by a friend to find an old friend with the surname Bai. Now that I think about it, could it be this?"
The speaker suddenly felt a chill.
The person next to him patted his shoulder and laughed, "That's not being polite, that's trying to hook you."
There was also circumstantial evidence, which further proved the credibility of the matter.
The fact that the people from Xuanzhou could ask about the people from Shengzhou as soon as they saw them shows that the actions of that scumbag named Bai must be extremely abominable.
Bai Shuchuan was upset by the reactions of the crowd. It was hard to explain why the yellow mud fell into his crotch, but he still had to explain, "The story about visiting Xiashan Mountain has absolutely nothing to do with me. It must be a false rumor. If I say anything false, I will be punished by God!"
He swore his oath, whether others believed it or not is another matter, but the looks they gave him became more and more strange.
This topic will be over after some discussion. As the face of the largest sect in Shengzhou is here, no one dares to act recklessly.
After the topic shifted for a while, Shi Chun and others appeared at the exit of Xunmen.
