"Didn't he test your strength when he handed over this position that originally belonged to him to you?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

Even if the outside world is in a uproar, if you face a real master, you will never be able to save any situation by relying on luck alone.

Shen Gongjin shook his head at this time.

"After he took the initiative to hand in his war letter on my behalf, he asked to fight me on the top floor of this elder's house, as he did today. Shen Gongjin said, "But the two of us didn't fight each other from beginning to end, he just told me something from beginning to end, and when it came to the end, he coldly admitted defeat to me." ”

"Yes or no?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned, "What did he say?"

"After all, it's been almost five years, and I can't remember anything too specific. Shen Gongjin said, and after pondering for a moment, he continued, "It seems that he mentioned the 'Six Princes' Yunyun, and probably said something 'This world is not as simple as he thinks, and he has always been too naïve' or 'Actually, the Six Princes are as naïve as me'." ”

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but purse his lips when he heard this.

Although with just these three words, no one can fathom the thoughts of the guy who gave way to Shen Gongjin five years ago. But Dongfang Shuo vaguely felt one thing, that is, that person seemed to have encountered a very cruel thing, otherwise a person would not sigh that he was once naïve.

After being silent for a few breaths, Dongfang Shuo asked, "Then what about after that, how did he die?"

Shortly after losing his membership in the Earthshatter, he accepted a mission from the Empire to become a spy on enemy nations. Shen Gongjin said what he knew.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "Let the former No. 1 on the Earth Demon List, or even the No. 1 on the Disha List who has just retired, do that kind of thing? There are only two possibilities to be able to do this kind of behavior that does not cherish talents." Either the decision-makers back then had a problem with their brains, or Shen Gongjin had lost all value to the empire. If the decision-makers of that year were also the Six Princes, the latter was the most likely. ”

The six princes could tolerate Dongfang Shuo, who might kill him, and leave his courtyard safely for the sake of profit, so naturally it would be impossible to make the decision to give up a valuable person for no reason.

Shen Gongjin paused, and then said, "So...... Wu Yi will he take the initiative to give me the position, because he knows that he will soon lose his value and step into a strange way?"

Wu Yi should be the name of the last one on the list.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "This kind of thing, only Wu Yi himself knows." ”

Hearing this, Shen Gongjin wanted to speak and stopped.

"All in all. Dongfang Shuo said, "The quarter of an hour is almost over, and the final result is that I won." At this point, he subconsciously lowered his gaze to the system option on the side.

Just as the voice fell, the text disappeared, and then the system prompt sounded, and then another text appeared in front of me.

[The host has completed the route selection, and the main quest will be delivered after the list of the Hells List is updated and the host checks into the mansion area.] 】

[Current route progress: 03, when the host completes all the progress, the third phase of the system will be opened.] 】

"What kind of choice, is it good for me to choose what I don't have at all?"

Dongfang Shuo sighed in his heart, wanting to cry without tears.

He was forced to choose this route, which was to replace Shen Gongjin, who was blown into a myth, and would completely become a thorn in Lu Yanzhang's side.

"However, will the system also enter the third stage, and what will the third phase look like?" Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

Jingle bells.

At this moment, at the door of the top floor, a wind chime rang without warning, pulling Dongfang Shuo's thoughts back. The words of the system disappear in front of you.

"Let's go. ”

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Shen Gongjin beside him.

So, the two of them set off in the direction of the exit.

And when Dongfang Shuo opened the door, the noise downstairs suddenly poured into his ears.

It was the sound of a small conversation, although it was not clear what was being discussed, but Dongfang Shuo noticed something unusual, because there was no sound of fighting downstairs, which indicated that the ring on the third floor was over.

But now that it's over, why is it still so noisy?

"Two, what's the result?"

Just when Dongfang Shuo was puzzled, Lu Xiangming, who was waiting outside the door in front of him, immediately opened his mouth and pulled back Dongfang Shuo's attention.

And before Dongfang Shuo could speak, Shen Gongjin immediately spoke: "I lost, I lost very badly." ”

As soon as these words fell, he suddenly felt relieved. Because, the stone that had been pressing on his heart for five years finally fell, and from now on, he would never have to go through that tossing and turning night again.

"What?"

But Lu Xiangming was shocked, "How come, Brother Shen, aren't you joking?"

Hearing this, Shen Gongjin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled calmly: "I am not an undefeated god of war in the first place, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that I can't face my own failure." This defeat is not necessarily a good thing for me, who has not tasted defeat for five years. ”

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

This guy, nothing else, pretending to be garlic is really good.

"I still can't believe it, but I still have to believe it now. And at this time, Lu Xiangming was in tears, "I really deserve to be Brother Shen, I can face my defeat so suddenly, not ashamed but proud, such a state of mind and vision, I really deserve to be a model for my generation." The most correct choice in my life is to follow you, Brother Shen!"

This guy ...... Not only did he believe it, but he also made up the image of Shen Gongjin with his own brain.

To be honest, this reminded Dongfang Shuo of a person.

Lu Jin.

Sure enough, the world licks dogs.

"Needless to say, after all, I'm just an ordinary person. Shen Gongjin said, "If you still want to follow anyone in the future, then follow him." ”

"No, Brother Shen, I can be here today because of you, Brother Shen. Lu Xiangming said, "It is precisely because of you, Brother Shen, that I found me five years ago because I was willing to fall after being sent to the Spirit Realm, and it is precisely because of Brother Shen's encouragement that I have been able to get to this point." So from now on, no matter where you go or where you are, I will always follow you!"

Shen Gongjin was stunned.

Then, he nodded and said, "If you want to." ”

At this moment, Lu Xiangming nodded solemnly.

"Then you two, please come down with me to complete the handover of the palace. Then, after leaving such a sentence, Lu Xiangming turned around and walked downstairs.

After he turned around and left a distance, Dongfang Shuo turned his head slightly and asked in a low voice: "I didn't expect that although you don't have any ability yourself, you are secretly cultivating your own strength, which can be regarded as two moments." ”

At this time, Shen Gongjin's eyes fell on the back of Lu Xiangming, who was walking downstairs.

"But I didn't do anything special. After a while, Shen Gongjin shook his head and said, "Even when I knew his name and said the first thing I said to him, it was half a year ago when he entered the top five of the Earth Demon List and became a member of the House of Elders. And between the two of us, there was no more conversation except for the daily affairs of three or two sentences a day. ”

"Huh?"

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth twitched, "So, he just gave it for nothing?"

"I don't know what 'free' means, but I think it's exactly what you think. Shen Gongjin looked at Dongfang Shuo and said, "I always don't know why, I have always been plain, since I came to the Spirit Realm, all kinds of words and good luck will always come to the door inexplicably." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo wanted to speak and stopped.

Then he didn't go any further, and immediately set off to walk downstairs.

As for Shen Gongjin, he also went downstairs after him.

As the two of them walked down the stairs, the noise in their ears grew louder and clearer.

It wasn't until Dongfang Shuo and Shen Gongjin saw the crowd on the third floor that the noisy voices on the entire third floor also stopped abruptly at this moment.

The air was suddenly quiet, which made Dongfang Shuo subconsciously stop.

Silence lasted for several breaths.

"The one who defeated Brother Shen...... It's the newcomer who walked with the talented girl Akiba Bai yesterday!"

Finally, a voice appeared, tearing the silent air once more.

Immediately after, a chaotic voice suddenly sounded, which was full of doubts, amazements and jealousy about Dongfang Shuo, both men and women.

Dongfang Shuo should have expected it a long time ago, after all, Shen Gongjin is a man with that kind of legend, and after three years, he has been challenged again, and his attention is naturally no less than the battle on the third floor just now.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo suddenly looked up at the ring on the third floor.

At this point, the ring was empty, and the battle was really over.

In fact, if he could, he really wanted to stop and take a closer look at that battle just now, and the guy who only chose defense was using a completely different martial art from Qingzhou.

If he could look at it twice, maybe he would be able to comprehend the martial arts of Xuzhou.

"Dongfang Shuo, it seems that we should be in trouble now. At this time, Shen Gongjin suddenly approached and whispered.

And Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "No, this trouble should only be for me." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"What else can be done, just ignore them. Dongfang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go." ”

So, he tried to make his way through the crowd and headed towards the lower floors.

"Wait. ”

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the crowd and stopped in front of Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo suddenly rolled his eyes, feeling helpless.

Is it another vulgar white plot?

So, Dongfang Shuo, who was too lazy to get involved, stretched out his hand and wanted to slap this hand away.

But at the moment when his strength fell on the palm of the opponent's hand, a brutal force followed, and it actually made Dongfang Shuo take half a step back!
