Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan placed luminous pearls, gold and other treasures on the third floor of the attic. At the same time, he also used the puppet making method in the secret records of the Baiyi clan to make a wooden woman. All of this is
It was used to test the qualitative endurance of the children of wealthy families... After the test, except for Hua Wuxin who could hold back, everyone else fell...
Hua Wuxin stepped forward, pulled up a young man from a rich family who was close to him, and shook him hard.
"Brother Wang, wake up, wake up..."
"Brother Zhang...Brother Zhang..."
"Everyone, wake up..."
...
After shaking for a while, no one woke up. Hua Wuxin reached out and poked under everyone's noses, and then felt relieved.
"They are not poisoned..."
"Creak, crunch..." A wall suddenly moved.
Hua Wuxin pulled out the dagger alertly and looked straight at the moving wall.
The wall slowly opened, and a purple-haired man slowly walked out of the wall.
"Lord Immortal?"
The person who came out was none other than Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, walked to Hua Wuxin, patted Hua Wuxin on the shoulder, stretched out his thumb and praised: "What a good boy, you can endure it, you are very good!"
Hua Wuxin was very excited when he received the praise from Master Shangxian in person. He knelt down on his knees with a bang and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master Shangxian, for your love!"
Ma Xiaoquan helped Hua Wuxin up, then pointed to the dark wall where he came out just now, and said slowly: "From there, you can go up to the last floor of the attic, where you can have a good rest, and wait for them to wake up.
I will conduct a final round of testing on you."
Hua Wuxin hummed, nodded, and trotted away.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and called softly: "Diplodocus, where is Diplodocus?"
"My subordinate is here!"
"After half an hour, wake up all these disciples. It's up to you what method you use!"
"As you command!"
...
Just after half an hour, Ma Xiaoquan heard bursts of screams coming from the third floor of the attic... Another quarter of an hour passed before all the children of wealthy families arrived belatedly.
On the fourth floor of the attic, Ma Xiaoquan had already personally poured high-grade fragrant tea for each of the wealthy children, and also prepared a bamboo mat for each of them to sit cross-legged on. Next to the bamboo mat, there was a small piece of white scroll.
and an ink pen.
Everyone rushed to the fourth floor with bruises and swollen faces. They wanted to vent their anger, but as soon as they saw Lord Shangxian himself, everyone's emotions suddenly stabilized.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and waved to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down! Drink tea, this tea is good!"
How dare everyone not drink the tea poured by Master Shangxian himself?
Before Ma Xiaoquan could speak again, everyone had already sat down.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, then they all picked up their teacups and said respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, we respect you!"
After that, everyone drank tea instead of wine and drank it all.
"Papa" Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands twice, nodded and said: "After these several tests, you have allowed me to see the things in you that are worthy of recognition... Of course, among them, there are some things that some people have done
, I am quite disdainful, but since you are willing to be my subordinates, I will not pursue it too much..."
"I told you before the test that I will only choose 5 people from you. After this series of tests, I decided to increase the number of people from the original 5 to 8...
"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, everyone felt happy.
You must know that, except for a very few outstanding ones, the children of these wealthy families are basically on the same starting line. Therefore, Master Shangxian has added 3 more places, which is equivalent to increasing his chances of being selected.
The wealthy children were eager to try and asked: "Master Shangxian, what is the content of the final test?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "The final test content..."
At this point, Ma Xiaoquan deliberately protracted his tone. As expected, all the wealthy children became nervous because of Ma Xiaoquan's drag.
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at the expressions of all the wealthy children, and then announced: "The content of this final test is very simple. I need you to vote for each other. The person with more votes will be eliminated, and the number of votes will be eliminated."
If there are fewer people, they will stay. Of course, if there are people with the same number of votes, they will continue to vote until the votes are cast. Also, in this vote, abstention and non-voting are not allowed...
.I said this, do you understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "I'll understand later!"
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands twice, "Now, let's get started!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan and Liang Long left temporarily.
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan left, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone has the right to vote once, and this vote may decide whether he or others will go or stay.
These days, the children of all wealthy families eat together, live together, and are tested together. If they say they don't have feelings, it's all false.
Most of these disciples have become friends...and some simply become brothers and die together...
But now, Master Shangxian's final test is for the disciples to vote among themselves to decide whether to stay or go. How can anyone accept this?
"No, I don't want to vote. If I don't want to vote, I will abstain."
"No, Master Shangxian has already said that you must vote and cannot abstain."
"But I..."
...
This sentence is not true at all. However, if you want to apply this sentence here, it would be a big mistake.
After a little time, some thieves from rich families immediately figured out the mystery.
Gradually, small gangs appeared among the children of wealthy families.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. As long as the small group has enough people or has an advantage, then everyone will vote for the guy they don't like, and that person will be eliminated.
Hua Wuxin also saw through this mystery, so Hua Wuxin also gathered a few people to form a small group.
...
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan appeared again.
"Master Shangxian" All the disciples from wealthy families stood up and held their hands together.
Ma Xiaoquan returned the gift, smiled, and asked: "How did you all choose?"
A young man from a wealthy family said respectfully: "Returning to Master Shangxian, we have finished choosing!"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? So fast? Are you voting seriously?"
Everyone was silent...
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the disciples and said: "As far as I know, if you want to protect yourself through such a vote, you must form a small group. You...have done the same, right?"
Everyone was still silent.
"If you do this, it's not impossible. I just want to explain one point. For those who are voted out, I need to understand the reason why they were voted out. Do you all understand?"
After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's leave the first round of voting to Diang Long!"
Everyone stood up and carefully handed the white scroll in their hands to Diplodocus. At the same time, everyone got another white scroll with no writing on it.
Liang Long respectfully presented the ballot to Ma Xiaoquan, and Ma Xiaoquan nodded and took the ballot.
"Yeah." Ma Xiaoquan opened the two ballots and took a look at them, and said: "Both of these votes were for Hua Wuxin..."
Hua Wuxin was stunned when she heard this.
Ma Xiaoquan asked Hua Wuxin: "Hua Wuxin, what do you think?"
Hua Wuxin: "I...I..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Okay, think about it carefully first... um, the next thing is..."
The first round of voting ended and 2 people were selected for elimination, one of whom was Hua Wuxin.
"Why?" Hua Wuxin grabbed her hair, unable to figure out what the result would be.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Hua Wuxin and sighed: "Okay, I want to ask, who is the person who voted for Hua Wuxin?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, several people stood up immediately.
Hua Wuxin looked at two of these people in surprise: "Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, you..."
The rich man surnamed Wang bowed his hand to Ma Xiaoquan and said respectfully: "Master Shangxian, the reason why we have no intention of throwing ourselves into flowers is because he is too selfish..."
"Oh? Be specific."
"When we were on the third floor just now, Hua Wuxin ignored us and went up to the fourth floor alone..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "According to what you say, Hua Wuxin takes the lead in leading you on the first and second levels, is it selfish?"
"this......"
Hua Wuxin thought that Ma Xiaoquan was helping him, and her heart that had sunk suddenly jumped up. Who knew that as soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished his last sentence, he immediately changed the subject and announced: "Since everyone has voted like this, then I respect it.
According to the voting results, in this round, Hua Wuxin and Huang Chang were eliminated!"
With a "pop", Hua Wuxin sat down on her butt, and her mind went blank...
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Hua Wuxin and continued: "Those who have been eliminated can go to the next room to rest. The remaining people will continue to vote."
Liang Long nodded, walked up to Hua Wuxin and Huang Chang, grabbed one by one, pulled them up, and pulled them into the room.
...
In the room, Hua Wuxin and Huang Chang looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.
You two looked at me and I looked at you, and we couldn't figure out why we ended up like this.
"Haha..." Huang Chang was the first to laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
Huang Chang said: "I laugh at myself for not being able to achieve my goals, and I laugh at the Supreme Immortal for being a mediocre immortal."
Hua Wuxin nodded, and just as he was about to respond, he heard a voice suddenly coming from the inner room: "I am a mediocre immortal. It's interesting. Your name is Huang Chang, right? Let me tell you."
