Mr. Huang did not blame the maid, but just apologized to Jiang Bai and said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't blame me. My Ling'er is outspoken and honest."
"It's a small thing." Jiang Bai shook his head, saying that he didn't care.
Then it added: "Young master Huang is really the number one scholar in the imperial examination."
Jiang Bai had great respect for real intellectuals in his previous life.
In his time, the lowest number among the number one scholar was an academician of the Academy of Social Sciences.
"Mr. Jiang is overly praised. I'm just interested in the scriptures, nothing more."
Mr. Huang said that the top prize was nothing, but his tone betrayed him.
He has always regarded being the top candidate in the imperial examination as the greatest honor since his birth, but no one understands him.
His brothers and sisters at home all said that he was not doing his job properly and that he would read some scriptures instead of practicing hard.
When the crafty cultivators outside learned that Mr. Huang was the top scholar in the imperial examination, they also thought that he was quite stupid. He had such a good status and resources and did not make good use of them, but instead wanted to mess with those mortal things.
The number one scholar in the imperial examination? If it weren't for the concern of the imperial court, the Cuizhen Realm would crush the number one scholar to death just like squeezing an ant to death.
In this strange world, only strength is the best way to gain recognition and respect from others.
Jiang Bai was not surprised by Mr. Huang's choice. Others can do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect him.
While the two were chatting, the competition in the arena had already begun, and Jiang Bai also set his sights on the two warriors fighting to the death.
To be honest, this is the first time it has seen a duel between warriors.
From its current location, you can easily see the entire scene.
One of the people in the venue was a burly man with a sinewy face, and the other was actually a woman wearing strong clothes.
The woman is dressed in white, with a beautiful face and figure that is looming under the white clothes.
Soon the two began to duel, each one attacking to the death.
As a fighting arena for Guixiu Entertainment, there are naturally no rules. What is required is blood and blood. As long as the audience enjoys it, it doesn't matter whether you die or not.
The woman's weapon is a long sword, and the man's weapon suits him very well, it is a meteor hammer.
But Jiang Bai soon lost interest. He really had no interest in something that he could kill with one wing.
It also has no perverted hobby of getting excited by watching people bleed and struggle.
Jiang Bai turned to Xiaobai and asked: "Xiaobai, if it were you, would you win?"
"Ah? Me?" Xiaobai was a little confused.
But she still said with certainty: "Sir, although Xiaobai has never practiced martial arts, there is still no problem in taking care of two mortals in the Jinjin training realm."
Although the blood in Xiaobai's body is so thin that it is difficult to cultivate, it still makes her body stronger than ordinary people.
Without any skills, it is still possible to kill several Jinjin realms with brute force.
"Tsk, tsk." Jiang Bai couldn't help but shake his head after hearing Xiao Bai's words.
Even the weakest of the descendants of Guixiu are difficult for mortals to defeat no matter how hard they try in martial arts.
Martial arts practitioners at the Lian Zang level are qualified to establish a sect, and those at the Lian Jin level are also qualified to serve as leaders of major martial arts sects.
This world is so unfair to mortals.
But what can we do? People have always adapted to the world, how can the world adapt to people?
When Mr. Huang saw that Jiang Bai was not interested, he asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Jiang? Is it too boring?"
Jiang Bai nodded and said: "It's a bit boring to see these mortals playing house."
The life-and-death fight in the arena is really boring in its eyes.
Mr. Huang suggested: "Actually, I don't like this either. How about we go to Jingshui Pavilion together later?"
He heard that most demon clans were fierce and aggressive, so he thought Jiang Bai would like the fighting arena. He didn't expect that Jiang Bai was not interested in this kind of fighting like himself.
"OK."
While the two were talking, a maid knocked on the door and came in, served them a plate of meat, and then left.
Jiang Bai looked at the plate of meat on the table. It was completely raw and stained with a lot of blood.
But there's nothing against it. What didn't you eat when you were in Netherworld Mountain before?
Jiang Bai asked curiously: "Master Huang, what kind of meat is this?"
"people."
"Where did it come from?"
When he learned that it was a type of meat, Jiang Bai felt a little confused in his heart, but he soon became calm.
It knew that all the major evil cultivator families would keep humans in captivity, and it had already anticipated this scenario.
"Every duel in the arena involves casualties, and the loser will be slaughtered and sent to the distinguished guests' table."
After Mr. Huang finished speaking, he took the chopsticks handed over by Ling'er and picked up a piece of meat.
Although he is a scholar, he is still a cultivator, and he has never put mortals on an equal footing. He is only interested in the life thoughts of those wise men among mortals.
Seeing Jiang Bai didn't respond, Mr. Huang asked strangely: "Mr. Jiang, don't you want to eat?"
Jiang Bai shook his head and said, "I won't eat it."
Hearing its denial, Mr. Huang put down the bloody meat and asked, "Does Mr. Jiang have something to hide?"
"Indeed." Jiang Bai was a human in his previous life, so of course it was impossible for him to eat this kind of meat, but he couldn't say these words.
Mr. Huang asked curiously: "I wonder if Mr. Jiang can tell me something?"
He knows that human flesh is a great temptation for both the sly cultivator and the demon clan.
Human flesh does not help the strength of the evil cultivator, but it is a delicious taste.
Some cultivators could not even resist this temptation, killing people in mortal cities and villages, and then being hunted down by the imperial court.
It can be said that Mr. Huang has never heard of a monster like Jiang Bai who is not interested in human flesh.
Jiang Bai nodded in agreement and told a make-up story.
"I used to live in Nanshan and once accidentally rescued a young child. After getting along for a period of time, we became close friends."
"One day, he told me that his mother was sick and needed to spend money to go to the city for medical treatment, so I gave him some gold."
"After he took his mother to see her doctor, he had a lot of gold left in his hand, but he didn't return it to me, and I didn't mention it."
"Later, when he grew up, he came to me and told me that he wanted to be the village chief. I said I was helpless."
"But he said he had already thought of a plan. I would kill the village chief, and he would lead the villagers to drive me away."
"I didn't want to agree, but he used our friendship as an excuse. In the end, I agreed, and he became the village chief as he wished."
"Five years later, he found me again and told me how prosperous the big city outside the village was and how rich the city lord was. He also wanted to be the city lord."
"I refused this time because I knew he definitely didn't consider me a friend. He couldn't have known that it would cause trouble for me, so I left him and never met again."
After listening to Jiang Bai's story, Mr. Huang couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him.
"Mr. Jiang's experience is really thought-provoking. No matter whether you are a mortal or a cultivator, once your desire is opened, it will never be satisfied."
At the same time, he also had a lot of affection for Jiang Bai in his heart. Jiang Bai's unwillingness to eat human flesh obviously meant that he could not forget that human being, and he was even willing to restrain his desires for this, which really impressed him.
Ling'er on the side also said indignantly: "That mortal is really too much. How can he be so shameless?"
