C377 The Darkness Under the Light
Senior Sister Qiuling frowned slightly, as if she felt that this was not appropriate. But she also knew Lo Tian's background. He was not that "noble." Only Faang Rann seemed to be somewhat angry and said, "How can they be like this!"
Lo Tian coughed lightly and said, "And then? Are they going to mess with us? Are the deacons of Martial Tower so incompatible with each other?"
Deacon Pang shook his head and said," That's not to the extent of it. Ever since the restructuring of the Martial Tower, the Four Holy Deacons no longer formed factions, nor did they join any faction. All factions in the Martial Tower, such as groups, and so on, have become a family. At most, they will only stop you on your path to promotion."
Fatty Zhang smiled and said," That's not a problem. "
Deacon Pang suddenly sighed and said, "If that is all. I won't force you to join the battle competition. The current situation was that not only had you become a sect with a low background, but also a sect with a low background. More importantly, you have my label on you."
Lo Tian seemed to have grasped something. He frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Deacon Pang shrugged and said, "I have been in Martial Tower for many years. There have always been people who looked at me angrily. In addition, when I was young, I had a bad temper, and I had offended some people in the open and in the dark. I only have one life, and I don't have anything to use against them. Plus, I'm already in a semi-retired state, so they can't do anything to me. So they started to mess with people who have a good relationship with me. I'm sorry, your appearance hit their bullseye. They treat you two as my disciples."
Deacon Pang stood up with his hands behind his back. He pushed open the window and looked outside." They are ready to use all kinds of methods to deal with you. There are all kinds of insidious, cunning, and shameless people. Plus, you are from a poor family and do not have any family backing you up. These dirty tricks, you probably won't be able to survive. Remember last time when they dealt with one of my disciples, they used a sinister method. A muddle-headed girl who lost her body, a drunken rainy night. After an unexplainable situation, that disciple of mine left the Martial Tower completely. Carrying a bad reputation, he went to the border to kill fierce beasts. Sigh, I don't want you guys to become like this."
Lo Tian said softly, "So we must participate in the battle competition?"
Deacon Pang nodded and said, "Yes. Not only do you want to participate, but you also want to get a good ranking. All the participants of the competition will be under the watch of the capital city's Sky Screen. This way, the chances of you getting tricked will be greatly reduced. If you can obtain a good ranking, then you may have the chance to be conferred a noble title. With a title and a title, they will want to touch you again... It will be very difficult."
"Is it that troublesome? Why are there so many sects in Martial Tower?"
Fatty Zhang shook his head repeatedly, feeling as if his worldview had been shaken.
Deacon Pang smiled and said, "Every organization in the world is like this. Whoever is glorious, who is jealous. Whoever is famous, who is cursed to die. Whoever made a great contribution had to quickly tarnish his reputation. Whoever saves the world will immediately let him die. Only a dead hero is a true hero, only a tragic powerhouse... That's a good story. The two of you have made such a great contribution this time. I don't know how many people are waiting for something to happen to the two of you and then get out of the capital. There are only so many ways to rise up in Martial Tower. Today, you, Lo Tian, have broken through to the third grade. This is a group of people who have been waiting for countless years for the Level 4 deacon to appear in front of their eyes. It is also because you have four Holy Deacon on your back this time, they will not dare to touch you for the time being. Otherwise, at your celebration banquet, there will be people playing tricks on you."
Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang's expressions were ugly, as if this was the first time they had met this ugly society.
Deacon Pang paused for a moment and continued, "Usually, they can find a reason to send you away. At least, they can chase you out of the capital. But now, the meeting of deacons has arrived, taking advantage of the time when everyone's attention is on the meeting. They would secretly play some tricks. Sigh, how many young deacons have there been over the years? They didn't really die in the hands of Devil Cultivator spectral cultivators or even fierce beasts. Instead, all of them had died under the scheme of their own people. It was truly sad. You two better not learn from those idiots. If you let them... As long as you don't care. You have to learn to resist, to resist. Whoever dares to provoke you, you will lose your reputation. Or even die on the spot. This way, you will be able to live in Martial Tower for a long time."
Lo Tian took a deep breath and said," Got it. Thank you, senior. "
Deacon Pang turned his head and smiled. "Alright, let's end it here today. Anyway, listen to my advice. You must fight for what you have to. If you don't fight, you will give your opponent a chance. The top ten of this year's battle competition could be conferred a title of nobility. The first place could even be received by the empress. This is a rare opportunity, you must not miss it."
Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang nodded slightly. They had been completely convinced by Deacon Pang. Even Senior Sister Qiuling and Faang Rann were clenching their fists.
Lo Tian took a step forward and asked softly, "Senior, I want to ask one more question. Who exactly wants to mess with us? Can you give us a specific name?"
Deacon Pang thought for a moment and said," You don't have to worry about anything else. But there is one person you must be careful of. It is best to avoid him when you see him. This person has a huge grudge with me. "
" Who? "
Lo Tian's pupils shrank.
Deacon Pang slowly spat out a name.
"Super deacon, Tang!"
...
Southern district of the capital city, Heavenly Tea Pavilion, top floor.
With a wide field of vision, one could see the clouds and wind as far as the eye could see.
His clothes fluttered in the wind, and a middle-aged man in plain clothes was sitting there sipping tea.
The tea was an extremely delicious tea. It was a clear fog tea that was picked from the distant South Sea County Tea City between the clouds and mountains. There was a ten-thousand-year-old tea tree there, and every year, one jin of tea could be picked. It was extremely expensive.
Coupled with the Unrooted Sky Water, drinking it could be said to be the best of the best in the world. The fragrance of the tea lingered on his lips and teeth, but it lingered for ten days, not dissipating for a long time.
The man took a sip of the tea and closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the happiness brought by money and status.
Footsteps suddenly sounded from below, and then a person slowly walked up to the top floor.
"Stop, Wu Qian!"
The man said.
When the Level 1 deacon Wu Qian heard this, he actually stood still obediently, not daring to have a single complaint.
A moment later, the man finally opened his eyes and said, "Have you found the true murderer who killed your son?"
Wu Qian replied calmly, "I have. But it's not easy to deal with. I need your help, Tang!"
Tang put down the teacup and said, "I can help you, but you have to tell me first. Who is it? "
Wu Qian was silent for a moment and then said, " Level 3 deacon Lo Tian, Level 4 deacon Zhang Yi."
Tang suddenly raised his head and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. These two people sound very familiar to me. Moreover, I was also preparing to look for them."
