"That's basically what's happening now."
In the teahouse, Wang Chen said to Zuo Xiaomo, "I have to leave today. I can't guarantee that I will be back before the first day of April."
Zuo Xiaomo smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Wang, it was me who got you into trouble."
He knew very well that if it were not for his own fault, Wang Chen would not have received such a task.
"Who did you offend?"
Wang Chen asked in confusion, "It's not like Outer Sect entered Inner Sect's assessment. Is this deliberate?"
Zuo Xiaomo is currently West Sea Sect Outer Sect reserve disciple. You can just "become a regular" by passing this assessment. To put it seriously, it is not a big deal.
It is completely different from Wang Chen rising from Rogue Cultivator to the Inner Sect.
You must know that the number of the Outer Sect disciples of the West Sea Sect is as high as one million. Even if formal disciple has a higher status than reserve disciple, it will not allow others to find ways to use upper-level connections to stop it, right?
As for Wang Chen's question, Zuo Xiaomo's expression was very tangled, and Ai Ai told the truth every time.
It turned out that he was in love with a female cultivator who was born in the Myriad Spirit Lu Clan. Although the latter was not a direct descendant of Lu family, she was quite talented in cultivating and was regarded as Golden Core seed.
And I have already come under the discernment of the West Sea Sect and Golden Core True Person, and I hope to become his disciple.
But in this way, Zuo Xiaomo is not worthy of the other party.
Therefore, his goal is to first become a regular at the Outer Sect, and then work hard to improve his cultivation level, Break Through Apertures and Open the Mansion, and then enter Inner Sect.
Even if there is still a gap, it won't be too big.
The problem is that Lu family does not approve of the relationship between the two, and this female nun also has a suitor.
Their status is higher than Zuo Xiaomo.
In addition, there are many people among Zuo family's disciples who are jealous of Zuo Xiaomo and want to cause trouble for him.
These people want to attack Zuo Xiaomo, even if he fails to pass the Inner Sect assessment or even dies in the Nine Dragon Underground Palace, this naturally becomes the best choice.
"Senior Brother Wang, it's okay, I'll find another protector!"
Zuo Xiaomo said resolutely, "I am sorry for you this time, and I will find a way to make it up to you in the future."
He really didn't expect those people to act so despicably and even use such methods to embarrass himself.
Wang Chen was trapped!
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Who are you going to find? Can you find a trustworthy guardian at this time?"
Zuo Xiaomo was speechless.
He really doesn't know who else he can go to for help now, and even if he does find it, can he completely entrust his life and death to that person?
Zuo Xiaomo has no confidence at all!
"Or you can ask Uncle Zhong."
Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "He will definitely be willing."
Although Zuo Xiaomo did not participate in Ascension Feast of Qiu Zhong due to his retreat, he had already known about Uncle Zhong's promotion to the Purple Mansion.
"No!"
Zuo Xiaomo immediately shook his head like a rattle. "I can't hurt my cousin anymore."
He knows very well the importance of Uncle Zhong to Xu family.
Xu Xinlan finally got out of the predicament and could not fall back into the quagmire because of him.
Those people who dare to deal with Wang Chen who is West Sea Sect inner disciple, will they have no way to deal with an old monk who has just entered Purple Mansion?
Zuo Xiaomo would never dare to gamble!
"Forget it."
Zuo Xiaomo gritted his teeth and said, "I give up this assessment."
He has already thought about it, so what if he passes this assessment by luck?
West Sea Sect Outer Sect has so many disciples that they are nothing, and cannot be compared with one Golden Core seed.
Zuo Xiaomo The distance between him and the female cultivator he likes will only become wider and wider in the future.
As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of struggling in vain, it is better to let go decisively!
"Men, don't give up easily."
Wang Chen noticed the pain in Zuo Xiaomo's eyes, patted his shoulder and said, "Well, if I can come back before the first day of April, I will accompany you to take the assessment."
"If I can't come back, it's not too late for you to give up."
Although he said he suffered an unreasonable disaster and felt very angry, Wang Chen would never attribute the cause to Zuo Xiaomo.
On the contrary, he strengthened his determination to help the other party pass the assessment!
"Thank you."
Zuo Xiaomo showed a grateful look.
Although he had given up hope in this assessment, he was still very touched by Wang Chen's generous attitude.
"How about you come with me to suppress the bandits."
Wang Chen said, "You don't need to just Make a Move, just help me with some auxiliary work."
When he goes to the Central Continent and Northern Continent border to suppress bandits, he must deal with the local Garrison Commander. Some things can be left to Zuo Xiaomo to save his own time and energy.
And before the Outer Sect assessment begins, it is actually a good choice to take Zuo Xiaomo away from Myriad Spirit City.
If no one is here, then others will have no way to start.
On the other hand, it can also paralyze the main messenger behind the scenes, thinking that Zuo Xiaomo has given up.
"Okay!"
Zuo Xiaomo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "It's my blessing to be able to fight side by side with my senior brother!"
He was also a smart man and immediately thought of the benefits of going with Wang Chen to suppress bandits.
The current Myriad Spirit City has become a huge whirlpool. If a small character like him flutters in it, there is a high possibility of drowning.
"Then get ready now."
Wang Chen picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "We will meet at the North City Gate in an hour!"
He was ready, but Zuo Xiaomo certainly wasn't.
The two separated for the time being.
An hour later, Wang Chen, who was waiting outside the North City Gate, saw Zuo Xiaomo, who was rushing over.
He asked, "Has everything been arranged?"
"I have made it clear to my family."
Zuo Xiaomo changed into a robe, hung a talisman bag on his waist, and carried a long sword on his back. He was completely dressed like Battle Cultivator.
Although his cultivation level is not very high, he is not the kind of playboy who indulges in pleasure.
"Okay."
Wang Chen nodded. "Then let's set off now!"
Without further ado, the sooner this task is completed, the greater the hope that Zuo Xiaomo will come back to take the Outer Sect assessment.
"Wait."
Zuo Xiaomo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then took out an artifact from the storage bag.
He raised his hand and threw it upward, and a snow-white flying boat appeared instantly, floating above the two people's heads.
"This is Yurong, uh, Thousand Feather Spirit Boat that my friend lent me."
Zuo Xiaomo explained, "The flying speed is no less than that of an ordinary flying sword. It can save us time on traveling back and forth."
"Yurong is your sweetheart, right?"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Not bad."
This flying boat is no ordinary thing at first glance. Its speed is comparable to that of a flying sword, so its value can be imagined.
This "friend" of Zuo Xiaomo must be very unusual!
Zuo Xiaomo blushed. "Her name is Kong Yurong."
May all lovers in the world get married!
Wang Chen sighed secretly in his heart.
