Volume 2: The First Entry into the Dao Gate Chapter 37 Tricks and Murder with a Knife [1]
Time passed, and every day was spent in peace, and on the third day when everyone came to the valley, the situation was finally different.
On this day, as usual, Elder Feng left happily after giving everyone a guide over the day. After Elder Feng left, a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume embroidered with a golden flying dragon, with a handsome face and a graceful appearance, walked towards Jia Baoyu and the others. This man was followed by six or seven teenagers, and everyone bowed their heads around him, smiling greedily, as if they were full of flattering expressions.
The person who came was none other than the three princes and a group of people, and there was nothing wrong with them after they came, just casually reminiscing and chatting, and they didn't speak during the whole process, Jia Baoyu also didn't have a match, but fortunately, the fat man was enthusiastic and lively enough, so the scene would not be embarrassing.
The third prince Li Rong and the others chatted for a while and then left, and in the process, one person had been standing aside and chatting with the subordinates of the third prince.
I saw him clenching his fists slightly, although he was chatting there, his eyes were staring at him all the time, and his face was slightly gloomy. Although his expression is not obvious, if you look closely, you can still see that there is anger hidden in this person's eyes.
Can he not be angry!
This person is none other than Zhou Rui, who is an inner disciple. As a genius leader of the sect, his future is also limitless, and the rarity of the twin spirit roots has always been the focus of the sect's cultivation. At the beginning, he was the same inner disciple as the third prince Li Rong, but he saw that Li Rong was rich and rich, and he seemed to have some connections with the sect, so he did not hesitate to lower his status to make friends, so that he was the same as the outer disciples, and he did the same thing as the outer disciples, and even he disdained to change the bed.
If nothing else, he will also be a strong contender for the future head candidate, compared to Li Rong, although he suffers a little loss, he will not have a chance.
But who knew that the sect was above the inner disciples, and made three core disciples, saying that although the three of them were also dual spirit roots, they were much stronger than others.
Zhou Rui knew that it was not good when he heard it, so that the gap between himself and the three of them opened up in an instant, which can be described as a slow step, and if he wants to catch up with these three people in the future, especially the three princes, it will be even more difficult.
As an inner disciple, Zhou Rui is also surrounded by many followers, among whom there are many people with four spiritual roots, and even a few with three spiritual roots.
But Jia Baoyu was just a waste of five spiritual roots, and the third prince, who was an inner disciple, actually took the initiative to win him over. Although this is more because of the relationship between the inner disciples, on the surface, it seems that they are trying to win over Jia Baoyu.
What made Zhou Rui most angry was that the third prince didn't come to chat with him, even if he asked one of his subordinates to greet him, although this subordinate was an outer disciple of the rare Sanlinggen, and he didn't look weak.
However, in terms of identity, he is also an inner disciple, and in terms of popularity, although he is not as good as his three princes, he is better than Jia Baoyu's three people, and he has more than 20 people here.
This is clearly looking down on him, and it is clearly saying that he Zhou Rui is not as good as Jia Baoyu with five spiritual roots. The more Zhou Rui thought about it, the more angry he became, it was really unreasonable, it was unbearable, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he really had no good way now, so he had to endure it first.
"Hmph, it's just a waste, don't think that relying on the momentum of the core disciple, you are really a core disciple! After a while, our cultivation will be opened, we must find a chance to get rid of you!" Zhou Rui scolded Jia Baoyu fiercely in his heart at this time.
He also has his own little abacus, looking at the formation of the three princes just now, he knows that this person will be his biggest competitor in the future. And it is worthy of being born as an emperor, the prince is the prince, and the bearing shown by his speech and demeanor is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
Zhou Rui knew very well that his current strength alone was not enough to compete with it. But if he can win over the attacker, as long as he supports him, then he himself is an inner disciple who has a good chance to compete for the position of the head of the sect, plus the support of the core disciples, and his right to speak in the sect in the future is absolutely unique.
As for attacking people, Zhou Rui has never regarded him as a competitor, because through his observation during this time, he found that this person has no intention of making interpersonal friends, and will not win over others, let alone have any strategic calculations.
This kind of person may be very strong, but he will definitely not be able to become the person in charge of a religion. Not only is such a character not a threat to me, but if I can co-opt him for my use, it would be a good fit.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rui's face looked much better, as if he had seen the picture of his leader rising all the way and everyone bowing down. But before he could get enough of it, reason told him that all this was still too far from his current self.
At present, the biggest obstacle is that this attacker is obedient and obedient to Na Jia Baoyu, which makes Zhou Rui feel angry and cola.
What is angry is that as a core disciple, he has no consciousness of a core disciple, and as a sect Tianjiao, he actually follows behind the ass of a waste wood every day, which is simply a loss of their face.
But that's what he's happy about, because of this, he has one less terrible rival and one more ally to win over. If you change to someone else, as a core disciple, and choose to compete for the position of the future leader, it is almost ironclad - ironclad!
However, at the same time that Zhou Rui was making his own little calculations, he didn't know that he had been invisibly calculated by others, and his person was becoming a knife in the hands of others.
....
After the three princes left, the entire Dao Valley gradually calmed down. At this time, one of the confidants of the third prince asked, "Third Highness, why don't you visit that Zhou Rui, he is also an inner disciple of the double spirit root, if you can bring him over, the future battle for the head of the family is not only nine out of ten, but at least it is a big increase." ”
"That's right, I'm also wondering, that Jia Baoyu is just a waste who came in by interceding with a core disciple. In contrast, I think visiting Zhou Rui is the best choice, which is more in line with your identity. Another henchman also spoke.
When the third prince heard this, he fanned his folding fan and shook his head, "You can say that, it means that you still have some brains, but if it's just like this, it's still not enough!"
"Your Highness is teaching you a lesson", several people came in together, and the subordinates with high and low talents echoed in unison.

Don't look at this small action, but it is a very deep plan. Because it is a fantasy text, it is all about strength, and it rarely involves the emperor's power, so I want to borrow this paragraph to see the big from the small, so as to peek into the power of high-level figures. The right is for me to pay tribute to some of the great gods' alternate historical texts, everyone look at and cherish them, don't study them in detail.
