On a street not far from the Martial Arts Academy, a tea stall was suddenly bought by someone who gave a lot of money. This tea stall is relatively simple, and the people who come to drink tea are all low-level people in Lanting County.

Because it is June and the weather is hot, people here have the habit of drinking tea and chatting to relieve the heat. At this time, there were no customers in the tea stall, only a woman drinking the most ordinary tea leaves with a face full of enjoyment. It seems that she is not drinking ordinary tea, but elixir and jade dew.

Ye Chanxue walked all the way, looked at the tea stall beside her, and her eyes fell on the woman who was drinking tea, with a trace of doubt in her expression. "Well, this woman, at a glance, knows that she is either rich or expensive, how can she patronize this tea stall?"

In this tea stall, Ye Yanxue once came with Liu Xuemei. The tea drinkers here are generally ordinary people, and the rich people generally do not come.

At this time, Ye Yanxue glanced at the man who was making tea, and his expression changed even more. He secretly said in his heart: "When did you change the boss here?" He recognized the man who made the tea, not the old man surnamed Zhang at the beginning.

Ye Yanxue shook his head and continued to walk towards the academy, he didn't bother to care about these boss changes at this time.

"Little brother, seeing that you look in a hurry, do you have something on your mind? The weather is so hot, it is better to have a cup of tea and leave. Suddenly, the owner of the tea stall stopped Ye Yanxue.

Ye Yanxue looked at the new boss of the tea stall, and said in confusion: "Boss, this tea stall was not made by you before, but by the old man surnamed Zhang." ”

The owner of the tea stall has a delicate appearance, and if you look closely, you can see that when he was young, he must have been a handsome and handsome guy. I saw him smile slightly and said, "That's right, Uncle Zhang, he has something to do temporarily, so he asked me to help him watch the tea stall first." Little brother, sit down first and then talk about it, seeing that you are sweating profusely and walking in a hurry, even if you are a cultivator, this will hurt your body, and may even affect your state of mind cultivation. ”

Ye Yanxue was shocked, she was a cultivator, how could this boss see it. Cultivators, their momentum is restrained, and they are not much different from ordinary people. So, he found a table and sat down, and said, "Boss, how do you see that I am a cultivator? Could it be that the boss is also a cultivator." ”

As he spoke, Ye Chanxue looked the owner of the tea stall up and down, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that this man was a cultivator. to be more like a real ordinary person.

"Guess, the direction you just walked in is the direction of the Martial Arts Academy, and besides, you are young, and your speech is not a local accent, you can ignore the dare to go when the weather is so hot, what would it be if you are not a student of the Martial Academy?" The man smiled slightly, his face revealing a natural amiable countenance.

As he spoke, the boss sent a pot of brewed tea to Ye Canxue's table, and poured a cup for Ye Canxue at the same time. He also said, "In two days, the rookie competition will begin, have you participated in this rookie competition?"

Ye Yanxue nodded, expressed her respect, and then replied: "Well, I also participated! It's just that this year's geniuses have come out, and there is a lot of momentum to compete for hegemony." Speaking of this, Ye Canxue sighed lightly, originally thinking that he wanted to show his head in the rookie competition, but now the situation made him feel pressured, but for the sake of Xia Yinghui, Ye Canxue had no reason to admit defeat. Because, he can't afford to lose.

The boss immediately sat down next to Ye Yanxue and continued: "Then do you have the confidence to rush into the top ten, or even win the championship?"

Ye Yanxue picked up the tea and took a sip, and suddenly, a sense of coolness spread on his body, and the stuffiness on his body was much better. There was a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes, and he said, "I can't lose, because I can't afford to lose." So, I have to be in the top five, that's the minimum I need. ”

The boss then laughed and said, "It's just a game, what can't you afford to lose? Unless, you want to use this game to achieve some kind of purpose that you desire." If I'm right, it's about love!"

Ye Yanxue looked at the boss, and always felt that the person in front of him was not simple, but no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary person, but he seemed to be able to see all his thoughts.

"Boss, may I ask your honorable name!" Ye Yanxue asked respectfully.

The boss laughed when he heard this: "Little brother, I'm just a gangster, you can call me Tang San." However, if you want to make it to the top five in this rookie competition, you have to be afraid that it will be very difficult. I heard that eleven of the geniuses who participated in the rookie competition this time have reached the late stage of the prefecture level. And the strongest genius in your academy, Ye Yanxue, is only in the middle of the prefecture level, and it will be difficult for you to enter the top ten. ”

Ye Yanxue was shocked again, she didn't expect the boss in front of her to be so well-informed. Knowing so many things. Hurriedly asked: "Then according to the boss's meaning, what results did Ye Yanxue of our academy achieve in the rookie competition this time?"

For some reason, Ye Canxue suddenly felt that what the boss said was very reasonable, so she wanted to know what kind of results she could achieve in this rookie competition in the eyes of this boss.

The boss glanced at Ye Canxue very meaningfully, and said, "You are Ye Canxue! Let me tell you the truth, this time, it is very difficult for you to enter the top ten, and unless there is a miracle, it is completely impossible to enter the top three." ”

Ye Yanxue is becoming more and more curious about this boss, he said that he is just a market man, but his performance is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Why, are you so sure?" Ye Yanxue asked. Perhaps, this boss knows something that he doesn't even know about. Otherwise, he would never have said that.

"As far as I know, eleven of the geniuses in this competition have reached the late stage of cultivation. Six of them are prefecture-level peak existences. There are also three people who have the talent to defy the sky, and they have artifacts in their hands, and their overall strength is comparable to the peerless powerhouses in the early days of the heavenly level. That's why I say that. The boss's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Your cultivation is at the peak of the mid-stage of the prefecture level, and it is already very difficult to defeat the powerhouses of the late stage of the prefecture level, but there is still a chance." That's the hope of being in the top 10. ”

"And if you want to defeat those powerhouses at the peak of the prefecture level, the chances are very slim, unless there is a miracle. That's how hard it is for you to get into the top five. The mysterious boss looked at Ye Yanxue's expression and continued.

"And in the face of Zhang Yuxin of the Tianshan Sect, the blood slaughter of the Dream Return, and Zhou Yan of the Taihu Sect, you have only one way to fail. Because, not only are the three of them exquisitely cultivated, but the cultivation cheats are all famous peerless secret texts in the cultivation realm, plus the three of them are supplemented by an artifact, even if the powerhouses in the early stage of the heaven level encounter them, they are not necessarily opponents. So, I said you have no chance of finishing in the top three at all. The mysterious boss said, and he also got a cup of herbal tea.

Ye Canxue was shocked when she heard the words of the boss who claimed to be Tang San! Although Ye Canxue had a lot of pressure on her rookie competition before, it was definitely not as serious as Tang San said. In addition, not long ago, Ye Yanxue defeated Lan Yu, and the pressure in his heart was reduced a lot, and he felt that he was sure of entering the top ten.

"No, I can't afford to lose, I can't just give up. I want to prove myself through this rookie contest and make Hui'er and her father pay attention to me, only then can I have a chance to walk with Hui'er. Ye Yanxue said to herself unwillingly.

"What's wrong? Isn't it frustrating? But it's a fact, I can help you if you want, but you have to pay a heavy price. Tang San suddenly said to Ye Yanxue.

When she said this, even the expression of the woman on the side changed, and she secretly said in her heart: "It's started, the sect master has tested this Ye Remnant Xue!" At the same time, her attention was focused on Ye Remnant Snow's side.

I saw that at this time, Ye Canxue's expression was ugly, and it was estimated that he dared to be under unprecedented pressure in his heart.

Ye Canxue said suspiciously: "You say, can you help me? Heavy price, what do you mean?" Ye Canxue believed Tang San's words, because, in Ye Canxue's heart, just this moment, he could judge that this Tang San was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I can put you in the top five, or even the top three. But you're going to be my subordinate for the rest of your life. Tang San's expression was very calm, without the slightest fluctuation of feelings, as if he was saying something very insignificant.

When Ye Canxue heard this, she suddenly smiled and said: "Senior, I think, you are thinking wrong! I, Ye Canxue, although I care very much about the ranking of this rookie competition, can't afford to lose." However, I will not forget my Ye family's family motto: 'Ye family boys, born with a straight waist, die as he deserves, and be persistent in life and death. ’。 ”

With that, Ye Yanxue stood up and wanted to leave the tea stall.

"Haha... What a Ye family motto! However, you are not smart, you are stupid! I can make you increase your strength in a short period of time and enter the top three in the rookie competition, and the condition is only to let you be my subordinate. You don't even ask about such a good thing, and you refuse it all at once, which is foolishness. Since I can raise your strength to above the peak of the prefecture level in a short period of time, then, even if you follow me, you will definitely not follow the wrong person. At least, follow me and don't let others bully. Tang San suddenly sneered.

Ye Yanxue turned around and said to Tang San: "That's right, what you said is not wrong at all. I have already guessed that your origin is definitely not simple, I am afraid that you are the head of the four major sects, and I dare not have such great confidence as you, follow you, I will not suffer. But there's one thing you don't know. That is, I, Ye Canxue, am not a person who is willing to hand over my fate to others. The most important thing is that I have to prove myself, and just with my hard work and my strength, I will also be able to stand out in the Rookie Tournament. ”

After speaking, Ye Yanxue left a gold coin on her head, and without looking back, she rushed towards the Martial Arts Academy.

Looking at the back of Ye Yanxue leaving, Tang San was stunned, this was the first time someone had rejected him. However, he was extremely surprised in his heart, especially Ye Yanxue's last sentence, he seemed to see himself when he was young.

"I'm going to prove myself, and just with my hard work and my strength, I'm going to make my mark in the Rookie Tournament as well. This sentence seems very ordinary. However, for a cultivator, this is an absolute trust in oneself, and it is also an absolute belief in one's state of mind. A truly strong person must have an unwavering strong mentality, that is, absolute trust in himself.

The woman who was drinking tea walked up to Tang San and said, "How is it? Is he still qualified?" Is it very appetizing to you, especially his last sentence, just like you back then. ”

Tang San suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and said in his mouth: "Xiaolan, at the beginning, you were just because of my words, you followed me without regrets for hundreds of years, perhaps, this kid may really be a character in the future." ”

"Then you just let him go, aren't you afraid that in the future, he will become your wayblock? This is not like your personality, especially, Xuan'er is also in love with him. The woman said, puzzled.

Tang San shook his head and said, "That's wrong, it's because Xuan'er fell in love with him, that's why I will let him go." Do you think that Xuan'er, plus us, can't restrain him?"

Hearing Tang San's words, that woman seemed to see Tang San three hundred years ago, and it was because of a woman that he became today's sect leader.
