Not long after, the sky turned completely dark. Gongsun Yan called again, informing Yue Wen that he could come to the funeral shop for a meeting.

Yue Wen took two more "corpse puppets" and set off.

Zhao Xing'er and Qi Dian are both very dedicated actors.

Qi Dian In his free time, he is either making character biographies for himself, or he is not eating, moving or communicating, simulating the mental state that a corpse should have.

Zhao Xing'er recalled a set of "zombie jumping punches" that he had practiced at home before, and he is intensifying his practice in an effort to exert his powerful combat power even in the zombie state.

Lan Zhi looked at them like this and couldn't help but be touched.

"No wonder our people can't play evil cultivators well." She mused slightly, "We really don't work that hard in imitating evil cultivators." "Effort is indispensable, but I think they mainly rely on talent." Wang Shoucai said, "Do you see any trace of acting in this kid pretending to be evil cultivators? He is obviously born."

Lan Zhi nodded. "It really doesn't look like acting."

She also saw Yue Wen undercover in the Lanting Club a few days ago. She thought he was an important disciple sent by Ah Hei Yan. He seemed to be much more pure than Gongsun Yan, so she decided to follow him.

This person is really evil.

Who would have thought it was fake?

Lan Zhi was born in a family of practitioners, but his talent was not enough to enter Five Great Immortal Sects, so he found a way to become a disciple of True Person Ming Guang. He thought that he would start as a registered disciple, and if he performed well in the future, he would be recognized by True Person Qu Guang and become a direct disciple, which would be regarded as entering the orthodox tradition of the Azure Nether Sect.

But after I came here, I heard that there was a boy who didn't care about True Person Ming Guang's identity as a registered disciple, and would rather be a casual cultivator. Lan Zhi, who was arrogant and arrogant, was inevitably a little dissatisfied and wanted to see what this person was capable of.

Knowing that Yue Wen won the first place in the points competition, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, they were all casual cultivators. How could a group of garbage pickers be competitive. Until the past two days when she followed Yue Wen, she was knocked down without even seeing her true appearance.

This made her realize that this person was really powerful.

Now I see him as my teammate, always doing things unexpectedly, but also very reassuring... Lan Zhi understands. Maybe the master sent himself here to assist them undercover, just so that he can learn from him!

Looking at Yue Wen's handsome back, Lan Zhi suddenly said, "I want to learn from him."

Wang Shoucai looked at Lan Zhi with some surprise. He thought that the children of these aristocratic families looked down on casual cultivators. It would take some time for Lan Zhi to accept the fact that Yue Wen was better than her.

So he chuckled and gave a thumbs up, "It's really a good thing that a young genius like you can learn with an open mind. Yue Wen does have a lot of things that are worth learning from."

Yue Wen didn't know that he had caused a psychological impact on Lan Zhi. He was calculating all kinds of information in his mind, pushed open the door and walked into the funeral shop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gongsun Yan in black sitting at the table, and the beaten Ma Long stood honestly behind the master. "Elder Gongsun." Yue Wen greeted.

"Brother Wen, oops, we meet again." Gongsun Yan was quite enthusiastic, stood up to greet him, and then pulled Yue Wen to sit down.

Yue Wen remained cold and said calmly, "Elder Gongsun, are you careful this time? There won't be any more undercovers, right?"

"Haha." Gongsun Yan laughed and said, "Brother Wen, please be at ease. I paid careful attention when I came here, and there was absolutely no one following me. There are only three of us in this room, how could there be Supervision Bureau's undercover agent? There is absolutely no problem with my apprentice. As long as you don't doubt me, there is no need to doubt him!"

Yue Wen seemed to really examine Malone and Gongsun Yan, and then smiled and said, "Of course I won't doubt Elder Gongsun."

"That's good." Gongsun Yan laughed twice, then turned his chin towards Ma Long, "Come and apologize to Brother Wen, and then close the store. Go out and watch the wind. If anything happens, let me know immediately."

"Yes!" Malone agreed.

Although I don't know that I was beaten, why should I apologize?

But out of awe, he still came to Yue Wen respectfully, bowed and said, "I don't understand the rules, please don't argue with me, senior." "Yeah." Yue Wen responded. Said: "You didn't do anything wrong. In our Flame Ghost Hall, weakness is the original sin. If you become stronger in the future, you can come to me for revenge. Treat me the same way I treat you today. I won't have any complaints."

Ma Long's shoulders shook, and some kind of fire seemed to be ignited in his eyes, so he bowed his head heavily and said, "I've been taught a lesson!"

After that, he strode out, closed the store door, and then crouched down in the shadow of the street against the cold wind, looking at the people passing by. Malone turned his eyes and gritted his teeth silently. After joining Flame Ghost Hall for so long, he felt that he only understood the true meaning of being an evil cultivator today. The strong can humiliate the weak at will!

There was still some resentment in his heart, but now he is completely relieved. He doesn't hate Yue Wen for beating him at all, he only hates that he doesn't have the strength. What's wrong with Senior Wen?

He is just better than me!

I would also like to thank him for letting me understand this truth. One day I will become a powerful evil cultivator like Senior Wen!

I want to learn from him!

Gongsun Yan watched Yue Wen teach his disciples, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Brother Wen is indeed a role model for young evil cultivators." What should an ideal evil cultivator look like?

Just like Wen Yan!

Ill-tempered, powerful, and unscrupulous... What do those evil cultivators look like nowadays? They are scared to death of breaking the law even a little bit, and they wish they could develop one evil magic power into twenty non-illegal operations.

It simply puts the evil ancestors to shame!

"I also learned from Elder Gongsun and other seniors." Yue Wen said calmly.

The hierarchy within the Flame Ghost Hall is quite confusing. Only a small number of elders were the disciples of Fan Bai Yan, and most of the elders and direct disciples were accepted by Ah Hei Yan.

Because they are evil cultivators, they don't have close contact with each other, and they don't care much about their age when meeting fellow practitioners.

They only care about who is stronger.

Yue Wen always calls him senior, which actually gives him a lot of respect.

If an ordinary junior fellow apprentice respected him like this, Gongsun Yan wouldn't think anything of it.

But for a person like Wen Yan who bullies the weak like ants, he only has special respect for Gongsun Yan, which makes Gongsun Yan very useful.

He smiled and said, "Only people like Brother Wen who know how to support the younger generations and respect the seniors are qualified to be the helmsman of our River City branch!"

Yue Wen knew very little about this matter, so he did not follow Gongsun Yan's words, but lowered his voice and said, "There are no outsiders here. Elder Gongsun can tell me more about what's on your mind."

Although he didn't know what the other party said, he knew that the other party must have reservations.

"Oh?" Gongsun Yan looked at his playful eyes, turned his eyes, and sighed, "Since I heard this, I won't hide it."

"Actually, when I first heard that the hall leader might establish a sub-rudder in Jiang City, I felt that the position of helmsman must belong to me!" Gongsun Yan said seriously, "Although I am not qualified enough, I am the only one who bought the elder position in River City. Who am I?"

"It wasn't until I met you the day before yesterday that I found out that the hall master already knew about my misappropriation of money. He didn't deal with me. He just asked you to warn me to pay back the money. This was already a mercy and he would never let me be the helmsman again."

"Yesterday, the hall master sent me the news that the sub-rudder was established and asked me to organize the helm leader selection. I completely understood." Gongsun Yan looked at each other again and Yue Wen said, "This selection is just for you, brother Wen! Otherwise, why did the hall master let you come here at this time? He clearly wants you to be the helm leader."

"Hey" Yue Wen raised his hand, "We still have to go through the process."

After hearing Gongsun Yan reveal so much key information, Yue Wen roughly sorted out the context of the matter.

He had just learned about Wang Shoucai and the others. Although Flame Ghost Hall's power spread all over Tianbei Prefecture, there were also key points.

Generally speaking, wherever a Fifth Realm evil cultivator is cultivated, Flame Ghost Hall will establish a branch in that city and focus on development. Like River City, only Gongsun Yan has a resident elder and no disciples of the Fifth Realm appear. Ah Hei Yan suddenly wants to establish a sub-rudder in River City. He must have other plans.

It seems that Ah Hei Yan had a temporary plan to establish a sub-rudder, so he asked Gongsun Yan to host a ceremony to select the helm leader.

It happened that he appeared at this time, which caused him to misunderstand.

He thought he was here just to compete for the helm.

Many evil cultivators have single-line contacts. Elders like Gongsun Yan must have Ah Hei Yan's contact information. But usually, they should not dare to take the initiative to contact Ah Hei Yan. The hall leader only gives them orders when something happens.

Theoretically, there should be some direct disciples like him, and Gongsun Yan also thought that he had one... but Yue Wen didn't. This was the biggest difference between him and the other direct disciples.

"Yes, we still have to follow the rules to convince the crowd." Gongsun Yan said with a smile, "And I... we Jiang City, although I am only a permanent elder, I still have some direct disciples, many of whom are strong Gang Realm. Those brats usually don't convince me. Once the news about the selection of the helmsman is notified, they will definitely participate in the election."

"Since this matter is left to me, we can discuss how to handle this selection so that Brother Wen can firmly win the position of helmsman."

In his opinion, Yue Wen is the direct disciple that Ah Hei Yan values more, and he is responsible for urging him to repay the debt, so he must fawn over him. Because of the money embezzlement, he will definitely not be able to run for the helm, so he might as well go along with the situation and support Yue Wen to become the leader.

It just so happened that River City's other direct disciples of the Flame Ghost Hall didn't have a hard time dealing with Gongsun Yan.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Yue Wen said, "Master attaches great importance to this matter, and the selection must be fair."

"Don't you, the hall master, come to the scene only on the day of the finals?" Gongsun Yan said, "Before that, we can design the selection rules carefully, at least let Brother Wen enter the finals fairly. Haha, do you have any suggestions?"

Will Ah Hei Yan be present in person on the day of the finals to select the helmsman?

Yue Wen received another important piece of information. His eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Since Elder Gongsun you asked me, then I will make a suggestion. According to me, the person who wants to lead a branch must be wise, brave, courageous and knowledgeable."

"What kind of evil cultivator is an evil cultivator who has never fought against the Supervision Bureau? If he can't break out of the Supervision Bureau's blockade, then what kind of leader can he be?" Listening to Yue Wen's plan, Gongsun Yan gradually showed surprise, "Ah?"
