Chapter 225 Taken advantage of
Outside the cabin, there was not only a barrier, but also two disciples of the Shen family guarding it, making it impossible for him to get even half a step closer.
Left with no other choice, he could only sit on the deck with the other disciples of the Shen family. The smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and he cursed inwardly: I have never seen such a black-hearted person!
Inside the cabin, Shen Ruoyu said with a serious expression, "Mother, he has ill intentions."
Shen Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest, "Oh? Tell me, what kind of ill intentions does he have?"
Shen Ruoyu analyzed like a little adult, "I deliberately asked for those things just now, and he gave them to me so readily, he must have had an ulterior motive! Besides, his eyes kept lingering on Mother, like...like..."
He couldn't find the right adjective for a moment, and his little face turned bright red.
Shen Yunxi smiled and patted his little head: "Like a hungry wolf seeing a little white rabbit, right?"
Shen Ruoyu's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes! That's the feeling!"
Shen Yunxi chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes: "Then let's play along."
The spirit boat traveled on the official road for half a day when Bai Ruoan suddenly spoke up: "Why did we bring him along? He's just an eyesore."
He gave a cold glance to Mo Wusang, who was leisurely fanning himself and trying to strike up a conversation with Shen Yunxi.
"A sucker delivered to our doorstep, why not take it?" Shen Yunxi chuckled lightly, but a cold, sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
No matter what Mo Wusang's purpose was in approaching them, he would not succeed.
He always felt that Shen Yunxi was up to something bad, and Mo Wusang was probably going to be in big trouble this time.
Along the way, all sorts of "unexpected" incidents occurred one after another. There were robbers, people trying to stage accidents, and even several women dressed in flamboyant clothes who tried to seduce Di Xuanshang.
The flies buzzed incessantly, causing endless annoyance, but they were all dealt with cleanly and efficiently by Di Xuanshang and the Shen family disciples.
Shen Yunxi nodded in satisfaction as she watched the Shen family disciples make their swift and decisive moves.
During this time, she and Shen Ruoning refined a lot of pills to assist the Shen family disciples in their cultivation. Now their strength has improved by a level, and they are no longer the same as before.
Gradually, those who had been waiting for an opportunity realized that they were a tough nut to crack and wisely shifted their focus to other smaller forces.
"Tsk, these guys, they've really got some nerve." Shen Yichen wiped the blood from the blade of his sword, a look of disgust on his face. "How did the world become so chaotic?"
Bai Ruoan expressionlessly sheathed his longsword: "More than 20,000 people are vying for 100 spots. Some who are not confident in their own strength naturally set their sights on their opponents."
Before the Star-Picking Pavilion's entrance exam, eliminating each opponent reduces the threat. After all, nobody's watching them now, so they can resort to any dirty trick.
These Xuanqing elders had warned him long before he set off that from the moment he registered for the Star-Picking Pavilion, everyone he encountered on the road would be his enemy. But these people could only bully the weak; if they encountered them, they were simply unlucky.
Shen Yichen was somewhat surprised: "How do you know so much?"
Bai Ruoan didn't say anything, but just glanced at him, her eyes seeming to say, "You idiot."
Shen Yichen suddenly realized—how could he have forgotten that Bai Ruoan had an elder uncle from the Soul Suppressing Hall!
The Star-Picking Pavilion is located at the border between the Heavenly Saint Kingdom and the Bright Moon Kingdom, on the edge of the Xuan Tian Continent, and does not belong to any country.
Zhaixing Pavilion is built on Phoenix Mountain, at the foot of which lies Phoenix City.
