Chapter 24 Jiang Linyue wants to help him pay?
Huo Erdan slumped his shoulders in dejection, looking at Wang Yan helplessly like a wilted eggplant: "Forget it, Yanzi, let's not choose that path, it's too difficult!"
Seeing Huo Erdan so dejected.
Looking again at the disdainful and contemptuous looks in Zhao Mingtong's, Zhong Jinghuo's, and Zhu Siniu's eyes, Wang Yan suddenly laughed heartily and casually put his hand on Huo Erdan's broad shoulder: "Erdan, I've succeeded now, you should be happy!"
Seeing Huo Erdan look up blankly, Wang Yan added, "Besides, I don't think it's difficult. Senior Brother Di, do you have six taels of silver?"
Di Nan was taken aback, and just as he was about to reach into his robes, Zhu Siniu suddenly reached out a hand and pressed it down on him: "Senior Brother Di, you can't listen to him!"
"And you, Junior Brother Wang, you can't be too greedy!"
Zhu Siniu, his face filled with righteous indignation, said, "That's right, you successfully made it into the top three in the category this time and helped Senior Brother Zhao get his money back, but that doesn't mean you'll definitely be in the top five next time. Ten taels of silver isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either. Why should Senior Brother Di pay for it for you?"
"Furthermore, if you truly possess the talent for combining the characters of the character 'divine,' you should generate the Flower of Literary Heart within your sea of consciousness."
The Flower of Literary Heart?
Wang Yan was taken aback, then looked at Zhu Siniu with an unusually strange expression, and suddenly felt like laughing.
What incredible luck this guy has! Every time someone tries to undermine him, he just happens to "coincidentally" step on his area of expertise.
Just as Wang Yan was about to speak, Zhao Mingtong frowned slightly and warned him unhappily, "Zhu Siniu, don't say that!"
He slightly raised his hand, appearing very magnanimous: "Junior Brother Wang has successfully passed the application test and made contributions to the sect, which is a good thing. You should congratulate him. How can you publicly discourage him just because he wants to join the inner sect?"
"Which one of us here doesn't want to join the inner sect? You, Zhu Siniu, dare to say you don't?"
After saying that, he glanced at the young man in the magic robe and Hu Jingfa.
Zhu Siniu paused for a moment, his eyes flickered, then he straightened his neck with a righteous indignation, raising his voice slightly: "I didn't mean to discourage him, that's just how things are!"
"If you have the Flower of Literary Heart, you can try to combine it to create another Divine-level combat skill that can rank in the top five. If not, don't even think about it, to save your energy!"
"Yes!" Zhong Jinghuo suddenly spoke up earnestly, "Junior Brother Wang, Zhu Siniu's words, though harsh, do make sense. You haven't been in the sect long enough!"
"I advise you to learn to write more divine characters. Once your cultivation level improves, you can then combine new divine characters."
Before Wang Yan could speak, Qiu Xuankuang, who was a little further away, stroked his beard and slowly nodded: "That's right, Junior Brother Wang, you're still young. Don't rush into the inner sect. Learn more divine characters first, lay a solid foundation, and then consider new combination combat techniques!"
He paused, then pointed to Junior Sister Jiang beside him: "Junior Sister Jiang, you've already grown a four-petaled Flower of Literary Heart, yet you still can't successfully combine it into a new Divine Character Combination Technique every time!"
Jiang Linyue was taken aback by the sudden mention, then glared at him with wide almond-shaped eyes, annoyed: "Qiu Xuankuang, don't use me as an example! My 'Flower of Literary Heart' level isn't very high. Besides, I believe Wang Yan has talent in this area."
With a flick of her wrist, a gleaming coin of silver appeared in her palm: "If you have any new divine scripts to apply for, I'll pay for them for you!"
Wang Yan felt a warmth in his heart, followed by a sense of helplessness.
Even though he just got into the top three in his category, these elders still don't think highly of him because of his poor background!
Even Di Nan and Huo Erdan, who had always been steadfast in their support for him, now doubted his prospects because he had only been in the sect for a short time.
The only one who could comfort him was Jiang Linyue... Her heart was biased towards him, which is why she blindly supported him, so that doesn't count.
Therefore, these people are trapped in the cycle of habit and empiricism, and they can't break free!
No wonder the level of the "divine" combination in the Cloud Cauldron Sect is so mediocre.
From now on, let him break this tradition!
However, it's not appropriate for him to accept Jiang Linyue's money in public right now...
Wang Yan was hesitating when the doors of the Divine Inscription Hall were suddenly pushed open with a bang, and a middle-aged man in a dark blue scholar's robe embroidered with gold thread strode in: "Little Qiu... uh..."
His gaze fell on the young man in the Dharma robe, and he paused for a moment, then immediately suppressed all his unruliness and eagerness, quickly bowing: "Grandmaster, you're here too!"
Wang Yan's eyes flashed again.
The person who pushed open the door so eagerly was clearly of high status, yet he treated the young man in the Dharma robe with such respect... Just who is this young "grandmaster"?
The young man in the robe nodded slightly with a reserved air, then asked, "Little Deng, why are you in such a hurry?"
His handsome, youthful appearance, combined with his elder-like tone and the middle-aged man's respect, suddenly seemed strangely incongruous.
The middle-aged man in the dark blue scholar's robe immediately perked up: "This disciple has come to see Wang Yan!"
Wang Yan was immediately taken aback: "Looking for me?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Deng looked him over in surprise: "It's you. You just submitted your speed-type 'God' combination and ranked in the top three?"
Wang Yan's gaze shifted slightly, and he nodded, seemingly unaware of what was going on: "It's me!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Deng immediately relaxed his thick eyebrows and smiled: "I've already exchanged it. By the way, has Grandmaster exchanged it?"
Qiu Xuankuang immediately smiled and pointed to Hu Jingfa, Qiao Bendu, and the others: "Uncle Deng, we've all exchanged them! You should look for Wang Yan."
At this point, Qiu Xuankuang glanced at Wang Yan and asked, "Do you think there's anything that could be improved in his application?"
After asking this question, Qiu Xuankuang said seriously, "Wang Yan, this is Uncle-Master Deng Jianghui of Shenwen Peak. He possesses an exceptionally fine golden five-petaled literary heart flower, ranking first in our sect. The divine scripts he creates have repeatedly ranked among the top two in their respective categories, making him arguably the most powerful in Shenwen Peak at present."
At this point, Qiu Xuankuang first glanced cautiously at the young man in the Dharma robe beside him, and then added, "Even the Peak Master highly recommends it."
Wang Yan keenly noticed his pause.
"Could this young-looking big shot be the peak master of Shenwen Peak?"
Suppressing this speculation, Wang Yan solemnly bowed to the smiling Deng Jianghui: "Disciple Wang Yan greets Martial Uncle Deng!"
As soon as he bent slightly at the waist, Deng Jianghui immediately reached out, smiling, and firmly supported him: "Little fellow, no need for such formalities!"
A peaceful smile, an appreciative gaze, and those strong hands...
Wang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and a sense of goodwill arose in his heart.
Deng Jianghui then shook his head at Qiu Xuankuang, who looked surprised, and said, "No, Qiu, you've misunderstood! I'm not here to give Wang Yan any pointers."
The young man in the robe raised his eyebrows and said with a dignified look, "Jiang Hui, your combination of the character 'divine' ranks second in the classification, while his is only third. It is only right that you give him some pointers."
"Perfect timing! Xiao Hu and I also have some questions. Why don't you tell us why his group is ranked in the top three of the category?"
