"If we have a good relationship, he is worthy of us to please him."
"that is."
"Humph, if it's not a fate, then why do you guys who are so free of charge give you potions?"
"you……"
Seeing Cang Youqing fighting alone with the others, Zhong Chao was a little confused, and for the first time he felt that she could handle it. After all, if something happened, she would really do it.
Zhong Chao was not the only one who was confused. His subordinate commander also did not expect that Cang Youqing would support him with all his strength.
However, her status is different from Zhong Chao after all, and Cang Yuluo is watching eagerly from the side. Therefore, these people dare not go too far towards her.
"Cang Youqing, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"It's irrelevant. Senior Brother Zhong's matters are my matters."
"You... forget it, I don't have the same experience as you."
After saying that, the man ignored Cang Youqing and looked at Zhong Chao. When they found that Zhong Chao looked indifferent, the anger in the hearts of these general banners became even more intense.
One of them, seeing Cang Youqing protecting him, felt even more jealous.
'You bastard, to gain the status of a hundred households, to be valued by my family, and to be admired by the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, all these should be mine.'
'This mud-legged guy doesn't deserve all this.'
Because of his jealousy, he instigated others with malice.
"This liar not only deceived us, but also caused us to be ridiculed by everyone. We must be compensated."
"Yes, not only must we return the three bottles of medicine that we cheated, but we must also compensate each of us for five...ten bottles of medicine!"
There was more than one person who was resentful of Zhong Chao's blackmail and jealous of his 'good luck'. After someone started, others immediately followed.
Moreover, ten bottles are required at the beginning, or ten bottles per person. This will make him bear a huge debt and completely destroy Zhong Chao.
The remaining people, although they did not speak out, also supported silently.
After all, who wouldn’t want a free potion?
In response, Cang Youqing responded immediately.
"A bunch of shameless bastards, I was the one who took the potion at that time, are you calling me a liar?"
"Besides, we are liars, so who are you who were easily deceived by us? Are you a bunch of fools?"
No one paid attention to Cang Youqing's disturbance. Zhong Li, who was the first to speak, looked at Zhong Chao with contempt:
"You eggless bastard, are you going to hide behind women all the time..."
This person wanted to anger Zhong Chao and make him come out to fight. He succeeded. However, angering Zhong Chao was not without cost.
"ah!
!”
Before he finished speaking, he looked squinting at Zhong Chao and looked horrified, as if he had seen something terrifying. The next moment, he let out a shrill wail.
There were even tears of blood pouring out of his eyes.
"!"
"what's the situation!"
"Someone is attacking!"
This sudden scene startled everyone and put everyone on guard.
Zhong Li, on the other hand, wailed, closed his eyes, and stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.
However, before that, there were two "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds, and steel bullets were shot out, shattering Zhong Li's knees, causing him to kneel down in front of Zhong Chao involuntarily.
This time, although the speed of the steam bullet was fast, some people saw that it was Zhong Chao who was attacking.
After the confirmation, the first thing that filled these people's hearts was disbelief.
"How dare he attack Zhong Li!"
In their surprise, they also revealed... fear.
These people all know that Zhong Chao's attack just now was a sudden attack, but Zhong Li will definitely be on guard when provoking him. Under such circumstances, Zhong Chao was still successfully attacked, which is enough to prove that Zhong Chao is not them
Imaginary trash.
'That's right, if you can pass the test under the eyes of the military leader, you can't be a simple waste.'
'Although the sword pool test is comprehensive, the most critical ones are swordsmanship and soul...the latter is particularly important. The attack just now was a soul attack.'
'He has the potential to compete with hundreds of households... we cannot keep him.'
Thinking like this, they wanted Zhong Chao to leave the scene. Therefore, some people immediately accused him: "It is a serious crime to attack a colleague. Come and arrest him..."
Before he finished speaking, when he saw Zhong Chao's eyes turning around, the man immediately shut up and lowered his gaze, not daring to look at Zhong Chao.
Not only him, but others too.
These people are all the heirs of wealthy families, and therefore, they know that before the fourth blood exchange, although the soul attack is terrifying, it still requires a medium.
And because the eyes are the windows to the soul, and looking at each other is the most convenient weapon for the soul to attack, so they did not dare to look directly at Zhong Chao.
Being unable to look directly will naturally weaken their momentum during the confrontation.
Seeing this, Zhong Chao sneered: "A bunch of trash... If anyone wants compensation, please stand up and let me take a good look."
"you……!"
Feeling angry and feeling that Zhong Chao was difficult to deal with, these people immediately encouraged others: "He who harms his colleagues is not worthy of being in the team. Let's go together and subdue him."
"Yes, if you take the initiative to attack a colleague, he must be punished."
The instigation of these people made many people excited.
Seeing that a big battle was about to begin, Zhong Chao was not afraid and just smiled.
"Are you sure you have thought about taking the initiative to attack your superiors?"
"Hmph, you were obviously the one who made the first move..."
"Shut up, everyone."
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
The one who scolded everyone was a mysterious woman from one hundred households. She also ranked first in the Sword Pond Road assessment and was the only strong person to cross the 2500-meter line.
After scolding everyone, she looked directly at Zhong Chao fearlessly and pulled out the long sword in her hand.
"If you attack your colleagues, I will restrain you and hand you over to the military leader."
Facing her words, Zhong Chao laughed:
"First of all, you and I are at the same level, and you can't judge me without instructions from my superiors. Secondly, I have a reason for taking action...insulting my superiors, disobeying discipline, and having the idea of inciting my colleagues to cause turmoil. This is tantamount to rebellion.
What's the point of me giving such a subordinate a lesson?"
While saying this, Zhong Chao didn't think that such a reason could make the opponent stop, so he took a deep breath and fully activated his state.
However, something unexpected happened to Zhong Chao.
After listening to Zhong Chao's reasons, the woman did not move forward, but tilted her head and thought for a while.
Thirty seconds later, after finishing her thinking, she nodded:
"Although the shot is a bit heavy and I don't like it, your move is indeed in compliance with the rules."
After saying that, she returned the sword to its scabbard.
"?!
"
"How can this comply with the rules?"
"It's a hundred households, and you are the general banner. If a subordinate insults his superior like this, why don't you give him a lesson? In other words, you think it's okay for Xiao Qi to provoke you like this."
The girl's words left everyone confused and speechless.
The biggest reason why these people reject Zhong Chao is that they have a strong sense of class and do not want to get into high-level positions by themselves, rather than actually acting according to the rules.
But now that someone who respects the rules appears, can they not be speechless?
What makes them even more uncomfortable is that the background of this girl cannot be found out at all, as if she appeared out of nowhere. No one even knows who sent out the assessment quota. But the more this happens, the less they dare to offend her.
.
"What rules should I tell him..."
"He struck too hard..."
"...No matter what, it's wrong to take the initiative..."
A white man sat on top of them, which made many people feel humiliated. Therefore, the rich and powerful family members with a strong sense of class were thinking of various reasons to get Zhong Chao down.
They didn't do this before because they felt that Zhong Chao was weak and could defeat him with his strength in the second test without having to worry too much.
Now, fearful, they thought of other methods.
However, before they could find a reason, a fierce sword roar sounded in everyone's ears.
"Groan!"
This sword chant suppressed all sounds, making the noisy headquarters instantly become as quiet as a cicada.
In this way, a minute later, a voice came from above.
"That's enough. If you have any dissatisfaction, let it be settled in the arena the day after tomorrow. Now, everyone, shut up!"
"Zhong Chao, come up."
"Yes, sir."
He glanced back at the people who had danced the most joyfully just now, and keeping them in mind, Zhong Chao walked upstairs.
While climbing the stairs, Zhong Chao also mentally reviewed the reasons why he took action and was prepared to resign once the military leader dealt with the injustice.
"With the Heavenly Swordsmanship, the Sword in the Furnace, and the Volcano of the Falling Sun Sea, I can quickly improve my strength even if I no longer have the position of Ming Cejun."
At this moment, Zhong Chao is no longer the powerless servant he was when he first arrived. He is now qualified to choose what he wants to do.
…
Zhong Chao, who went upstairs, had already thought about the worst outcome and was prepared to deal with it.
But what surprised him was that Mr. Ji's 'punishment' was beyond his expectation.
Seeing him, the first sentence uttered by this resolute swordsman was:
