"Deacon, the men inside the door have arrived. ”

In the evening.

Du Feng hurried to Xia Fan's room and reported with an unusually solemn expression.

"Just now, the Island Lord's Mansion specially sent someone to invite you to the Island Lord's Mansion tonight. ”

"I know, I'll go to the invitation later. ”

Is it finally here?

Xia Fan said quietly on the surface.

"If there is nothing else important, I will retire first. ”

Immediately afterwards, Du Feng directly surrendered.

"Hmm. ”

Xia Fan bowed slightly, and did not mean to leave the other party.

When Du Feng left.

He got up from his chair and walked out of the room, stretching lazily in the front yard.

Someone from heaven.

The owner of Southern Cross Island will definitely pick up the wind and dust for the other party, and Zang Tao is the deacon in charge of the selection and assessment this time, so it is naturally impossible for the island owner to leave him out.

Again.

Lu Zixun had another accident.

It is difficult to ensure that the owner of the island and the other board of supervisors took the opportunity to interrogate themselves, who allowed themselves to have a conflict with Lu Zixun before.

But.

In Xia Fan's eyes.

This banquet is not a Hongmen banquet, let alone a Longtan tiger's den.

If he had to maintain his own personality, he wouldn't be too lazy to bird these people.

Night falls.

The island owner's mansion has long been lit up.

When Xia Fan swaggered in front of the solemn gate of the Island Lord's Mansion, the steward in charge of reception immediately recognized him at the door, and he respectfully stepped forward to lead him into the mansion.

Moment.

He was led by the steward to a richly decorated hall.

The tables and chairs in the hall are filled with all kinds of people who are not rich or noble, and it is a lively scene to talk with each other.

When the people present saw Zang Tao, everyone who knew him took the initiative to get up and say hello, but Xia Fan nodded perfunctorily in response, and he didn't mean to talk to them at all.

The other party didn't take it to heart either.

After all, there is a huge disparity in status between them.

It is normal for Xia Fan to ignore them, and if they do, they will be flattered.

After the steward sent Xia Fan to the hall, a beautiful maid in charge of serving him was immediately taken to the inner hall.

To put it mildly.

The people in the hall came to make up the numbers.

The inner hall is the place where you receive your guests.

Walk through the hall and into the inner hall.

As the maid pushed open the door, as soon as Xia Fan entered, his eyebrows unconsciously shook upward.

Look around.

There was a group of people with a long aura sitting in the inner hall, and there was even a middle-aged man who exuded the aura of a grandmaster sitting on the main seat.

"Sorry, it's late. ”

Seeing this, Xia Fan immediately arched his hand towards everyone with a serious expression.

"Zang Tao, sit down. ”

The middle-aged man in the main seat looked at him indifferently and said.

"Yes!"

After speaking.

Xia Fan casually found a vacant place and sat down.

And around him were a group of guys he didn't know, and several of them were still looking at him with unkind eyes, and they knew with their toes that the other party should have a lot to do with Lu Zixun.

The inner hall has a separate meal system.

Everyone has their own feast.

After taking a seat.

Xia Fan sat on the ground like a sculpture with no thoughts and feelings.

When the feast began, the maids presented all kinds of delicacies, and he should eat and drink, and only listen to the discussion between the lord and the people around him.

"Zang Tao. ”

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

The middle-aged man on the main seat suddenly fell on Xia Fan's body, and the audience instantly fell silent.

"Zang Tao is here. ”

Xia Fan put down the wine glass in his hand and arched his hand towards the middle-aged man.

"I heard that you had something unpleasant with Lu Zixun some time ago?"

The middle-aged man said in a calm tone.

Don't think about it.

There must have been someone complaining to the other party before Xia Fan came.

"Yes......"

Xia Fan nodded immediately, and then said the contradiction between himself and Lu Zixun one by one.

Completely portrays himself as a tall image that adheres to principles and acts impartially, and is simply beyond reproach.

And Lu Zixun is portrayed as a sinister villain who uses power for personal gain and intends to poison the excellent seedlings of Tianmen.

Let's be honest.

We both know this.

It's just that I didn't expect Xia Fan to say it in public.

"I'm a little curious about what kind of good seedling is worthy of your maintenance. ”

In fact, doesn't the middle-aged man know the contradiction between Xia Fan and Lu Zixun?

Of course he does.

It's just that he wondered if it was necessary for Zang Tao to tear his face with Lu Zixun for the sake of a so-called good seedling? You must know that Tianmen has never lacked good seedlings.

"Returning to my lord, this is a good seedling who hopes to become an adult in the future, and I believe that my vision will never be wrong. ”

Xia Fan said solemnly.

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man suddenly became interested.

It's no wonder.

The Grandmaster's Realm is a threshold.

In previous years, if one of the inner disciples recruited by Tianmen could be successfully promoted to Grandmaster, it would be a very remarkable thing.

Now Zang Tao said that the other party has the hope of becoming a grandmaster, which is equivalent to investing his future in the other party.

Once the good seedling in his mouth really becomes a grandmaster, his status in Tianmen will rise.

As for Lu Zixun?

If he is still alive by then, he will inevitably be retaliated against by the other party.

"Do you know that Lu Zixun has a sudden accident and his life and death are unknown, right?"

The middle-aged man nonchalantly changed the subject.

"I know it below. ”

Xia Fan said simply.

"Zang Tao, is Lu Zixun's matter related to you?"

The middle-aged man stared at Xia Fan with deep eyes.

"Nope. ”

Xia Fan pretended to be confused.

Playing hypnosis with Lao Tzu? You kid is still a little tender.

"I see. ”

The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and said lightly.

"Now that the assessment is approaching, don't forget to send someone to me for the list and assessment arrangements. ”

"Obey the command. ”

Xia Fan lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

As the banquet gradually came to an end.

Xia Fan left the Island Lord's Mansion alone.

This time, the people from Tianmen were mainly middle-aged men, on the one hand, they were here to invigilate, and on the other hand, they were responsible for placing the disciples who failed to pass the re-examination at that time.

Only those who pass the re-examination are eligible to take a boat to the Tianmen headquarters, and then have a final entrance test with children who have passed the assessment in other seas.

Even if you fail in the door test.

The unsuccessful children will stay at the Tianmen headquarters for three years.

If these unsuccessful children have performed well in the past three years, they will naturally be re-integrated into the inner door.

If you can't.

All of these children will be placed in expatriates.

The assessment of Tianmen is actually quite simple and crude.

The core is just one word.

Beat.

Practicing martial arts, the comparison is who is more powerful and who can fight better.

Strength is real.

Strong is strong, weak is weak.

The so-called literature has no first, and there is no second martial arts.

But the text is not easy to say, and the martial arts are simple.

You'll know the result with a fight.

Therefore, the assessment of Tianmen is like the world's first martial arts club in Dragon Ball, or the middle ninja assessment in the Hokage.

At the same time, in order to avoid the early appearance of strong dialogues, a mechanism similar to that of seeded players was set up, that is, the special list mentioned by Zang Tao before.

When I was on the ship.

One of the reasons for the rules on board is to challenge children to each other in order to have food, and one of the reasons is to test the strength of these children.

All those on the special list will be divided into different assessment areas, and each assessment area will determine the top three, and finally the lottery will be held.

But in the end, most of the people who can stand out and advance to the knockout battle have passed the assessment with most of their feet, even if they are accidentally defeated in the elimination battle, as long as they perform well in the battle and meet the standards in all aspects of potential qualifications, the examiner who is responsible for watching the game will be deemed to have passed the assessment.

It's like Nara Shikamaru in the Naruto's shinobi assessment, losing is losing, but no one can ignore his excellent performance in battle.

Xia Fan never worried about whether Zhou Xiaoyu could pass the assessment of Tianmen, but she was trained by herself.

As long as no one is secretly making trouble, Zhou Xiaoyu's passing the Tianmen assessment is a sure thing.

Pity.

Zhou Xiaoyu may be disappointed in the end.

Even if she passed the three tests of Tianmen, what if Tianmen was suddenly gone?

However, Zhou Xiaoyu has no feelings for Tianmen, and she will choose to participate in the Tianmen assessment more because she wants to see the vast world outside, and at the same time let her mother live a better life.

And these are all things that Xia Fan can do.

After leaving the Owner's Mansion.

Xia Fan pretended to return to the station, but in fact appeared at the dock of the seaside port.

He saw a boat.

A huge ship with gold embroidered on all its sails was more than three times larger than the original Zang Tao's Great Wave.

And this giant ship is the ship that will take them to the Tianmen headquarters when the time comes.

At this moment.

There were still quite a few crew members on board who didn't get off the ship.

And the state of these crew members is very strange.

Each other is like a puppet with lifeless feelings, Xia Fan naturally it is not difficult to see that these people have been destroyed in their spiritual will, and they only know numb obedience to orders like walking corpses.

As for the interior of the cabin, there is a faint aura that only a grandmaster possesses.

In other words.

This time, Tianmen dispatched two grandmasters.

One is responsible for acting as a director, and the other is responsible for sitting on the giant ship.

There is a clear division of labor with each other.

"Du Feng, remember to sort out the assessment list and arrangements and other materials to me tomorrow. ”

Xia Fan didn't stay long, and soon really returned to the station, and when he met Du Feng on the way, he was given a task.

"Yes!"

Du Feng agreed without saying a word, anyway, he had been dealing with these trivial things all along.

Early the next morning.

Du Feng handed over the information that Xia Fan asked for to him.

Xia Fan looked through it.

I have to admit it.

Du Feng is indeed a very capable person.

Because the information he submitted and sorted out can be said to be in a clear and organized order, and the content can be understood at a glance.

"It's very well organized, but there is one thing that needs to be revised. ”

Xia Fan picked up the information and handed it back to Du Fengdao.

"Deacon, please instruct. ”

Du Feng said solemnly.

"Put Lu Hongyu into Zhou Xiaoyu's assessment area. ”

Xia Fan said casually.

“...... I understand it below. ”

Du Feng's eyelids jumped.

How did he not know that Xia Fan was deliberately trying to let Lu Hongyu lose the election.

"Okay, that's all, I'll send these materials to the Lord's Mansion later. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand indifferently.

"Obey the command. ”

Du Feng didn't dare to delay, so he retired and left the room after agreeing to it, and went straight to Fubo City.

Wait until the island owner's mansion to make his intentions clear.

The steward of the island's mansion specially received him into the mansion.

Moment.

Du Feng saw the middle-aged man on the main seat of last night's banquet in a courtyard.

"Du Feng, I've worked hard for you this time. ”

After receiving the information presented by Du Feng, the middle-aged man casually put it aside, and looked at Du Feng in front of him with a gentle smile.

"Back to Elder Cui, this is the duty of his subordinates. ”

Du Feng said with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Tell me more about what you've discovered over time. ”

The middle-aged man bowed his head slightly.

"Yes......"

Du Feng knew what the other party meant, and even said what he found in monitoring Zang Tao.

"It seems that this Zang Tao is indeed a smart person. ”

After listening to Du Feng's speech, the middle-aged man had a general understanding of Zang Tao's situation.

However, he was a little reckless in dealing with Lu Zixun's affairs, which was a bit unlike his usual style. ”

"Yes, this is also what the subordinates find strange. ”

Du Feng said in a deep voice.

"Last night, Zang Tao said that the good seedling he was dedicated to maintaining had the potential of a grandmaster, Du Feng, do you think what Zang Tao said is true?"

The middle-aged man said thoughtfully.

"Zhou Xiaoyu? The subordinates feel that this Zhou Xiaoyu is indeed the most outstanding in this group of children, although some of the children are equal to Zhou Xiaoyu's strength, but when it comes to fighting, none of them are Zhou Xiaoyu's opponents. ”

Du Feng said cautiously.

"Oh, so I'm looking forward to the next assessment. ”

The middle-aged man laughed.

"Du Feng, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Back to Elder Cui, no. ”

Du Feng hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Okay, it's not convenient for me to keep you here, you can go back first. ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand.

"Yes. ”

Out of the Lord's Mansion.

Du Feng did not return to the station directly, but quietly went to the mansion where Xia Fan was originally housed.

"You're here?"

Stand in an empty secluded courtyard.

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in my ears.

"What's the matter?"

Du Feng went straight to the road with a single knife.

"Do you know where the people who used to live here have gone?"

A deep voice said.

"Maybe it's dead. ”

Du Feng said.

"Dead?"

A deep voice said unexpectedly.

"Zang Tao was here, and then the people here disappeared. ”

Du Feng said without concealment.

"You mean...... Zang Tao killed the people who used to live here?"

A deep voice said.

"Or else?"

Du Feng said indifferently.

"I see. ”

After speaking.

The muffled voice ceased to sound.

And Du Feng also left the house quickly.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be such an internal ghost. ”

Xia Fan quietly walked out of the porch, looking at the direction Du Feng left, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a playful smile.

The people in the Yanyu Building are really pervasive.

Even he didn't expect it.

Du Feng's real identity is actually a person from Yanyu Building.

Originally, he wanted to find a chance to kill him, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.
