"Why?"
Ouyang Zushi lost his voice. Yang Ji's words were too sudden, and could even be said to be rude and reckless. But Ouyang Zushi knew that Yang Ji would never harm him.
There must be some reason for him to say that.
"Senior Brother Yang, why is this? That Cao Dian looks so powerful. I was wondering if I could fight him, so that when you meet him, I can help you a little bit."
Ouyang Zishi's brows could not hide the dejection and loss of color.
As a martial artist, who doesn't want to fight against masters who are more powerful than themselves? There are so many Blood Furnace level candidates in the martial arts exam, does anyone think that they can be on the list?
It’s not just to gain more insights and experience, and to prepare myself for admission in the future.
Ouyang Zushi had already checked it out beforehand, and he and Cao Dian had a fight today.
Ouyang Zushi didn't expect to win, but he just had to compete with such a master.
He was originally eager to try today, but unexpectedly, Yang Ji actually asked him to abstain directly. He even had a special restriction, not even going up to the ring.
Ouyang Zushi respected Yang Ji very much, and it was difficult for him to say no. But he was always somewhat reluctant in his heart.
"That Cao Dian is not something you can touch."
Yang Ji shook his head:
"You sent people to follow Cao Dian, and even I found out about it. Do you think Cao Dian knew about it? If Cao Dian originally only planned to hurt you in the ring, then now, once you get on the ring, he will probably completely
Kill you."
"ah!!"
Ouyang Zushi looked shocked. He wanted to know if Yang Ji was joking. After all, no one could be killed in the martial arts examination. But looking at Yang Ji's expression, it didn't look like he was being fake at all. Reminiscent of Cao Dian's style,
During this period, the people sent out to follow him continued to evaporate, which made me suddenly feel frightened, and finally a trace of fear arose.
"He shouldn't dare to do this, right?"
Ouyang Zushi said in surprise.
Yang Ji didn't speak. Many thoughts went through his mind. Yang Ji had almost guessed Ouyang Zushi's identity through Zhao Hua and others' tips.
Although he was demoted to Langya County, he was still a disciple of a noble family and still had some influence and subordinates.
A few days ago, when Ouyang Zishi sent people out to keep an eye on him, Yang Ji had already noticed it. He didn't care about it at that time. But this time the "Martial Arts" exam made Yang Ji understand something.
The origin of this Cao Dian is mysterious, and he is definitely not an ordinary candidate. If Ouyang Zushi is followed again, he will either die in the ring or outside the ring.
Although the martial arts examination is all about hitting the mark and not killing anyone, Yang Ji has a feeling that these things are completely inapplicable to this Caodian.
If Ouyang Zizhen was not a disciple of the Iron Crown Sect and was relatively close to him, Yang Ji would not have planned to tell him.
"There are always some people in this world who cannot be touched. This Cao Dian is one of them. That is no longer dangerous, but fatal. My suggestion is, before it's too late, withdraw your people quickly, and stay away from him.
.”
Yang Ji said seriously.
Ouyang Zishi's eyes were changing, as if he was unwilling or afraid. After a long time, he finally sighed deeply and said dejectedly:
"Yes, senior brother, I listen to you."
Yang Ji's martial arts, strength, and experience were all much better than his. When it came to Cao Dian's issue, he finally chose to trust Yang Ji.
I dare not say anything else, but at least one thing is that Yang Ji will never harm him.
"That's the best thing you can think of."
Yang Ji paused and said, "Although I have some ideas about Caodian, I haven't been able to confirm it yet. Everything will have to wait until the martial arts examination is over."
"Yes, senior brother."
Ouyang Zushi made a decision and felt relieved:
"By the way, senior brother. I discovered a lot of strange things about Cao Dian. My people followed him several times, but they couldn't find where he settled. It doesn't matter. After all, his martial arts are very powerful.
It’s not that strange to be lost.”
"However, although I lost track of him many times, I always gained something the more times I did it. Several times, I found traces of him near the government office. He seemed to be very interested in it."
Ouyang Zishi said.
"Government?"
Yang Ji's eyelids twitched and he looked over sharply, his pupils bursting with bright light.
"Um."
Ouyang Zushi nodded seriously: "My people can see it clearly and there is absolutely no mistake!"
Yang Ji frowned and remained silent.
Although he knew that Ouyang Zishi sent people to follow Cao Dian, he did not know exactly what he had gained. In fact, this kind of tracking was very common.
During the martial arts examination, for those candidates who stand out and have high voices, there will always be other candidates who send people to follow up and investigate, and even check the origin, background and files of the other candidates.
"Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle." This method is not that surprising. Yang Ji himself felt that he was being watched several times.
But Ouyang Zizhi said that Cao Dian haunted the government, which was completely different.
During the martial arts examination, everyone was focused on improving their strength or finding out about their opponents. In terms of value, the most valuable thing now is the government.
"The competition in the martial arts examination is about personal strength. Why is he going to the government at this time?"
Yang Ji frowned and remained silent.
Although Ouyang Zishi only said that Cao Dian was near the government, Yang Ji was certain that Cao Dian's "target" was definitely the government.
It's just that there are some civil servants or ordinary military officials in the government. The most powerful ones are no more than the third level of martial arts, and they have nothing to do with the martial arts examination. What is Cao Dian doing there?
"Who among the normal candidates would waste time running to the government? This Caodian drunkard doesn't care about drinking, and his focus seems not to be on the martial arts examination at all. However, the government is full of trivial daily life, what can be included in it?
Got his discernment? Is it a document?"
Yang Ji frowned and was silent in thought.
The documents in the government are all trivial matters such as spring birth and summer growth, autumn harvest and winter storage. What effect do these things have on Caodian?
Yang Ji shook his head, he really couldn't understand.
After pondering for a while, Yang Ji finally came to his senses. He grabbed the wooden sign on the table, fluffed up his sleeves, opened the door and walked out:
"Let's go. The game is about to start."
Today is the ninth day of the martial arts examination. Although the number of people is smaller, the competition is more intense. Of the remaining seventy or eighty people, almost everyone has something special!
And unlike the Wulu exam, this exam is open to the outside world.
Yang Ji and Ouyang Zishi stepped into the Martial Arts Hall. There were a sea of ​​people inside, and it was a lively scene.
"Senior Brother Yang, congratulations."
Several figures separated the crowd and squeezed through. Yang Ji took a look and had some impression that they were all disciples of the Iron Crown Sect. They just didn't have much contact with them.
Moreover, Yang Ji did not live with them.
At this time, everyone came to congratulate and respect me.
"Thanks."
Yang Ji smiled and said politely. The visitor is a guest, not to mention a disciple of the same sect. It doesn't matter whether we have a great friendship or not.
After these three people, people from the Black Sword Sect also came over.
"How did you do on the martial arts test yesterday?"
Chen Zhu held a jade Ruyi in his arms and walked over with a smile.
"It's okay. But the final result won't be announced until the last day."
Yang Ji smiled.
"Haha, if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work. Since you feel good, then you should stick to it."
Chen Zhu patted Yang Ji's shoulder and said happily.
Having walked through life and death from the Tianyin Sect's main altar, Chen Zhu's good impression of Yang Ji has now exploded.
"Come on! With your talent, as long as you can obtain the title of Wu Xiucai and be crowned king in the future, you will definitely have a bright future."
