Chapter 351 - Spreading Falsehood
"Outer disciple surnamed He......" The boy looked at Huo Gongzi suspiciously, "Among the senior brothers from our outer sect of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who participated in the selection of the inner gate this time, it seems that none of them are surnamed He." ”
"Ah? No, it can't be, right? I heard that he must have come to participate in your Ten Thousand Swords Sect's inner gate selection this time. Huo Gongzi said categorically.
"But I really don't have that in my memory. The boy recalled with some anguish.
"You must be mistaken, think about it. ”
"Hmm...... Hmm......" The boy thought with a sad face, and in his heart, he probably read the names of the inner disciples who participated in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect over and over again, but there was really no one surnamed He among them.
You must know that this boy, like many disciples in the outer sect of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, has a cultivation plan. They are now devoting themselves to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to be hospitality boys, and they also hope to accumulate merit and one day be able to rely on this to enter the outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Therefore, these boys have always been extremely familiar with the situation in the outer gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Although he didn't dare to say that he knew everything about every disciple in the outer sect of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, at least for the most outstanding disciples in the outer sect, the boy dared to say that there were few who he didn't know.
Moreover, for these boys who aspired to practice, the selection of the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was simply like a grand event. Every disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who can be qualified to participate in the selection of the inner gate is like a big star in this grand event. Naturally, these boys knew each and every one of them well, and even mentioned their names with relish when they chatted with each other.
If there really was any senior brother from the outer gate whose surname was He, this boy felt that he would definitely not know anything about it.
However, Huo Gongzi on the opposite side was also a monk who came to participate in the selection of the inner gate. Moreover, according to the experience of previous years, these non-Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples who received an invitation to participate in the selection had a greater chance of entering the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect than the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect themselves.
Moreover, this boy entertained these "genius boys" who were invited to come for a few days, and naturally learned a lot about their situation.
So he knew very well that this Huo Gongzi was one of the favorites who passed the inner door selection. Maybe a few days later, he would become one of the inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Therefore, no matter how ridiculous or embarrassing the question asked by Huo Gongzi made this boy feel ridiculous, he would never dare to say that Huo Gongzi was not. On the contrary, I tried my best to wonder if I was mistaken.
"Why? Can't think of it?" Huo Gongzi saw that the boy had been thinking for a long time, and he couldn't say why, so he asked a little impatiently.
The boy seemed a little angry when he saw Huo Gongzi, and he couldn't help but panic. Fortunately, he had a brainstorm and came up with a solution.
"This ...... Huo Gongzi, I really don't remember any senior brother surnamed He. However, Huo Gongzi, don't worry. Well, you can wait here for a while. I'll go ask somebody. What do you think?"
"Well, that's fine. Go ahead. Huo Gongzi nodded and waved at the boy.
The boy quickly turned around and ran out. Huo Gongzi did not return to the main hall, but waited at the door of the main hall. After almost a cup of tea, Huo Gongzi saw that the boy ran back again. Behind the boy was another man.
That person looked like he was also a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, wearing a cyan suit and a silver sword logo pinned to his arm.
Huo Gongzi has also heard about the classification of outer disciples in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the past few days. So at a glance, you can know that this is the boy who called a Silver Sword disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to come back.
"Huo Gongzi, this senior brother is from the outer gate. He had just returned from the outer gate of the Great Hall of Trials. If there's anything you want to ask, just ask him. The boy came to Huo Gongzi with the silver sword disciple and said to him with a smile.
The Silver Sword disciple had obviously heard the boy introduce the identity of the person in front of him on the way, and knew that he was a genius monk who had received an invitation and was about to participate in the selection of the inner gate. Moreover, the other party has a high chance of becoming an inner disciple through the selection.
Therefore, after meeting, the silver sword disciple did not dare to be careless, and respectfully saluted Huo Gongzi.
"Good. Huo Gongzi nodded with satisfaction, and asked the Silver Sword disciple again, "Among the outer sect senior brothers who participated in the selection of your Ten Thousand Sword Sect this time, is there a senior brother surnamed He?"
"Nope. The Silver Sword disciple thought for a moment, then shook his head at Huo Gongzi with great certainty and replied.
"What? no? it can't be, right?" Seeing that this silver sword disciple was also the same as the boy, Huo Gongzi's heart suddenly felt a little bottomless.
He couldn't help but muttered secretly-this couldn't be that when Wei Yue'er spoke before, they heard it wrong, right? After all, Wei Yue'er was originally muttering quietly by herself before, and her voice was very small. If you really heard it wrong, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
However, just as Huo Gongzi was muttering, he heard the boy say to the silver sword disciple, "Senior Brother Zhu, think about it. Huo Gongzi said that this Senior Brother He is his friend, so he shouldn't be mistaken. ”
"Hmm...... Is this so, surnamed He ......" The Silver Sword disciple thought for a moment, but showed a somewhat strange expression.
He looked at Huo Gongzi suspiciously, and said with some hesitation: "Huo Gongzi, among the Golden Sword Senior Brothers who participated in the selection of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect this year, there is really no one surnamed He. However, among the people who participated in the inner door selection, there was indeed a surname He. ”
"Huh?" Huo Gongzi was stunned by the words of the silver sword disciple, and he looked at the other party inexplicably, "Aren't the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect participating in the selection of the inner sect the only ones who are us and your own outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?
"Not really. The Silver Sword disciple continued, "This Senior Brother He is a seeker who entered the sect from the path of seeking immortals. The rules of this gate are that the mountain gate will be opened once every 20 years, and if you have a fate, you can enter the gate from Wangtian Island in the East China Sea on the day of the big opening of the mountain gate. This Senior Brother He entered this door in this way. ”
"Oh! I see. When Huo Gongzi heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, but he was a little happy in his heart, and he thought with some disdain: It seems that the "Big Brother He" in Senior Sister Wei's mouth is even lower than they imagined!
Originally, they all thought that this "Brother He" should be one of the outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and he should be a good disciple of the outer sect. That's why I was able to get the opportunity to participate in the inner door selection.
But I didn't expect that this guy was not even an outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect! No wonder Senior Sister Wei would keep it hidden, and even when we asked, she didn't dare to tell the origin of her name as Brother He. I'm afraid she is probably afraid that after she says it, she will be ridiculed.
Huo Gongzi treated others with himself, and immediately felt that he had understood Wei Yue'er's thoughts, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's this Senior Brother He. I don't know what his situation is now? Having said that, your Ten Thousand Swords Sect has opened the mountain gate so much, which is interesting. Can people directly join the inner door selection?"
"Hmm. This is the door rule of this door. Seekers who enter the main gate from the path of seeking immortals have the right to participate in the inner gate selection as long as they are willing. Even, if they pass the inner gate selection, they still have the opportunity to directly become descendants. That's really a step to the top. The Silver Sword disciple also said with some envy.
"Hehe, the rules of your Ten Thousand Swords Sect are interesting. However, let alone becoming a descendant disciple, I think even if you are an inner disciple, it is very rare! If you want to ascend to the sky directly, how can it be so easy?" Huo Gongzi was unimpressed by the words of the silver sword disciple.
How powerful can a guy who has not received the invitation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect himself and has to mingle with those mortals, from what kind of immortal path to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?
Besides, that guy himself has a humble background, has nothing to do with the cultivation realm, and has no background himself, unless such a person is really an earth-shattering genius, how much can he achieve?
Thinking of this, Huo Gongzi had already settled down, and felt that this "Brother He" was probably not a strong competitor. Then thinking of Wei Yue'er, Huo Gongzi's heart was hot again, and he only felt that he would be able to let her throw her into his arms sooner or later.
Huo Gongzi was lustful at this time, but he didn't notice the expression of the silver sword disciple on the other side at all. If he could still leave a few percent of his thoughts at this time and put them on the two Ten Thousand Sword Sect disciples beside him, he would probably immediately realize how unreliable his thoughts were.
"Senior Brother Zhu, this Huo Gongzi actually has an old relationship with that guy from the Beiyue Sword Sect! You said about this, should we hurry up and tell Master and Uncle that they know?"
"Of course. I heard a few senior brothers say, that He Zhi is the secret of the Beiyue Sword Sect! This Huo Gongzi actually knows him, maybe their family has anything to do with the Beiyue Sword Sect!" The Silver Sword disciple said to the boy with a worried face.
"What? It can't be, right? This Huo Gongzi was personally invited by Tang Zhenren. Tang Zhenren still has some dealings with his father Huo Zhenren. The boy was taken aback.
"That's not our thing. It is also possible that this Huo Zhenren had the intention of getting acquainted with Tang Zhenren, but he was a spy of the Beiyue Sword Sect. In short, I still have to tell a few uncles about this matter and let them make a decision. You can be careful, and don't leak the wind indiscriminately in the back. The Silver Sword disciple used the secret method to transmit the sound, admonished the boy a few words, and then took a deep look at Huo Gongzi again, and then left in a hurry.
At this time, Huo Gongzi was still thinking about how to conquer Wei Yue'er next and trample that "Brother He" under his feet, and he didn't notice the departure of the silver sword disciple at all. By the time Huo Gongzi found out that the Silver Sword disciple had left, the latter had already gone away.
Of course, Huo Gongzi already knew what he wanted to know at this time, so he didn't care much about the silver sword disciple.
To put it bluntly, Huo Gongzi originally held his own identity, and he didn't look down on the Golden Sword disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, let alone a small Silver Sword disciple.
When he saw the Silver Sword disciple leave, Huo Gongzi's only thought in his heart was that he was a little unhappy, feeling that the Silver Sword disciple was too lacking in eyesight, and he didn't even know how to stay and slap himself up.
However, Huo Gongzi's attention was all on Wei Yue'er now, and his dissatisfaction with the silver sword disciple flashed through his mind. After that, the Silver Sword disciple was completely left behind by Huo Gongzi.
Turning his head, Huo Gongzi quickly returned to the main hall.
When a group of teenagers saw Huo Gongzi coming back, they all surrounded Huo Gongzi and asked, "How is it?"
"Well, I've inquired about it. Huo Gongzi nodded to everyone, and then smiled and told everyone everything he had heard from the mouth of the Silver Sword disciple.
In this regard, Huo Gongzi did not hide anything from everyone. The main reason is that even if he refuses to say it, others can find out about He Zhi's situation if they go to find the boy. So he might as well be generous and tell everyone everything.
Anyway, Huo Gongzi felt that in this group of people, he was always the one who was the most compatible with Wei Yue'er. So he felt that no one else could compete with him at all.
Moreover, when Huo Gongzi explained the situation, he also added a lot of his own speculation.
For example, the fact that He Zhi was a seeker who entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from the path of seeking immortals, the original Silver Sword disciple only mentioned it, and did not talk about He Zhi's identity and origin at all.
But Huo Gongzi felt that since He Zhi entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from the path of seeking immortals, most of them were casual cultivators with no identity background. So he sandwiched his speculation into the words he relayed.
After everyone heard it, they couldn't tell which were Huo Gongzi's speculations and which were He Zhi's real situation. Anyway, I listened to everything as if it were true information.
Then, they suddenly had the same emotion as Huo Gongzi before.
"It's no wonder that Senior Sister Wei didn't even say a word when she heard us ask about her Big Brother He earlier. So that's what happened. Hehe, it seems that Senior Sister Wei also knows that if she, Brother He, says it, I am afraid that it will make everyone laugh. ”
"Hmph! I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this surnamed He poured into Senior Sister Wei, and after only one session of casual cultivation, he actually wanted to come to the toad to eat swan meat! If I meet him this time, I will definitely teach him a good lesson! Let him know that a character like Senior Sister Wei is not just someone who can move crooked thoughts. ”
A group of teenagers were all gearing up for a moment, eager to see He Zhi immediately, and then teach him a hard lesson and show his majesty.
