In the huge dining room, Xiaoqiu was the only one who ate a big meal.

Shen Geng's eyes were low, and he looked at the half bowl of rice and a few vegetable leaves in front of him, with a slightly melancholy expression, as if he had to go against his will to eat it. At this time, he was reduced to a willful teenage child. Then he raised his eyes, became elegant and cold again, and called out a person's name.

The young man who was called immediately left his deskmate and ran over with food. After confirming that he had really received the invitation, he sat down happily, glanced around, and blinked proudly at his former friend.

The matter should be over. Shen Geng picked up the chopsticks and all the children in the dining room were ready to start eating. An accident happened again - Erliang Chen Xiuwei stood up.

"Brother Xiaoqiu is my friend..." He originally wanted to say a few more words, but he was too nervous and felt extremely regretful about leaving the table. His mind was rumbling. He couldn't remember any of the words afterwards. He just nodded heavily, made similar actions to bowing, and then walked to Xiaoqiu's table with the food.

Xiaoqiu moved to the side with the people and the bowl.

Erliang Chen Xiuwei smiled at Xiaoqiu, feeling happy and no longer felt regretful.

Shen Geng remained silent and even nodded to Erliang to show that he understood his choice. Then he called out another name. The substitute ran faster and was in a panic and almost fell down on the way. With this small mistake, Shen Geng moved his eyebrows and showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Unprepared Chen Hao suddenly found himself a new focus of attention in the dining room. He was the only teenager in Yelin Town who stayed at Shen Geng's table and was facing a major choice.

He hopes that everyone's eyes will not be so straightforward, and he hopes that Shen Geng, who is opposite, can have a bite of rice, so that he can give him some time to consider.

Shen Geng didn't look at Chen Hao, but he didn't let the chopsticks go. He didn't eat, and no one else could eat it.

Chen Hao never felt that time was passing so slowly. "Does everyone have nothing else to do?" He thought this way, and stood up angrily, bowed to Shen Geng and Shen Ji brothers, picked up his food, and did not walk towards Xiaoqiu, but returned to other teenagers in Yelin Town.

Another lucky substitute came to power, and eight people still occupied a table. Shen Geng's chopsticks were inserted into the rice bowl. Finally, the sound of chewing sounds sounded in the hall. Xiao Qiu was not so lonely.

The atmosphere quickly returned to normal. The children ate and chatted, talking about the upcoming competition, and guessing what method Meng Yuanhou would use to detect how much force each person used.

The curious village women were a little disappointed. They obviously had a ignition of a moment, but why did they end up in a simple way? They looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was obvious: the world of Pangshan disciples is so difficult to figure out.

But for nearly 140 new disciples, this is actually just a child's game. If you divide into circles, the game will end, at least for ordinary disciples who don't touch each other.

Erliang Chen Xiuwei had never eaten so quickly. After his initial momentum, he became listless and ignored Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao. As soon as he finished his meal, he pulled Xiaoqiu back to his room.

"Are Fangfang too stubborn? Why do you have to protect a little non-demon?"

"Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. Even if Master Pang Shan waved at me, I would stand on Brother Xiaoqiu's side." Erliang Chen Xiuwei felt that he had been misunderstood and his voice raised a little. "I'm not worth it for Brother Xiaoqiu. What a great opportunity. Make friends with Shen Geng and take care of him in the future. We will only drag you down."

Xiaoqiu grinned and punched him on the shoulder, "Daogen is really effective, look at you becoming so good at speaking."

Erliang Chen Xiuwei also laughed, "I have been following you and your brother since I was a child, and so in the future. Oh, it's better not to make friends with Shen Geng, just practice slowly by myself. To be honest, I don't even enjoy eating at that table. I always think that I must not smack my lips later, for fear of being laughed at and no longer interested in the meat in the dishes."

Daliang and others followed after dinner, and they all looked depressed.

"Will we be like the three members of the Pei family in the future, no one will pay attention to them and always stand at the end of the crowd?" Daliang asked such a question as soon as he sat down.

Xiaoqiu was about to speak, but Chen Hao rushed to answer. He had already passed the stage of depression and was a little more excited. "The Taoist sects cannot make everyone obedient. When they were having dinner, many people nodded and greeted me. Could it be that if they left them, they wouldn't be able to learn magic well? I don't think that they practice theirs, and we practice ours. I heard that many very powerful mages used to be ordinary people."

Chen Hao aroused some morale, but a few children still felt regretful. If Xiaoqiu and others could enter the circle of Taoist children, they would have benefited a little, but now they can only rely on their own efforts.

"The stick method is about to be compared. Everyone works hard, and no one will lose." Erliang Chen Xiuwei raised his fist, "I look at Shen Geng, Shen Ji's stick method is not particularly outstanding either."

"They are hiding their strength and disdain to show it." Mu Feihuang looked around and lowered his voice and continued: "I heard that the five of them have been running up and down the Old Ancestor Peak since they were young. The more than 10,000 steps are not taken seriously at all, especially Shen Geng. Everyone said that he could open his seven orifices on the first day he entered Yangshen Peak."

"Impossible." Xiao Qiu said with certainty that he had just read the booklet left to him by Meng Yuanhou and had a very good understanding of enlightenment. At the same time, it was absolutely impossible to open the seven orifices. The practitioner would only die suddenly and not be stronger.

"How do you know?" Lengzi Mu Feihuang asked in surprise, still believing the rumors more.

A cough came from the door, "Friends of Taoism, good afternoon."

It was Xin Youtao. Not to mention Xiaoqiu's room, he had never been to anyone's room in the museum. He has lived alone so far and refused to live with others.

"What are you doing?" Chen Hao's face showed a fierce look.

Xin Youtao's eyes avoided Chen Hao and said to Xiaoqiu directly: "Fellow Taoist, can you say a few words to you alone?"

"There are several 'comrades and fellow Taoists' here, which one are you referring to?" Chen Hao moved his footsteps and stopped the prince's gaze.

"Mu Xingqiu, I want to tell you something. There is no need to be so nervous. I can't beat him. What's the scary thing about you?"

"I'll go find you later." Xiaoqiu said.

Chen Hao and others walked out of the room one after another. Everyone looked at him with a stern look when they passed by the prince. Xin Youtao not only avoided Chen Hao, but also smiled at the others.

Xin Youtao closed the door casually and said, "You are so stupid."

"Is this what smart people think of me?" Xiaoqiu said coldly, suddenly looking forward to the routine stick-beating in the early morning of tomorrow.

"You misunderstood. I'm not here to scold people, I'm just here to tell you a fact."

"Well, the smart people must have different visions from mine."

Xin Youtao did not take the ridicule seriously and took a step forward, his eyes shining, as if Xiaoqiu was some rare beast, "Do you think all this is a game for children?"

"What kind of game is not a game..."

Xin Youtao seemed to be full of words and did not allow others to interrupt, and rushed to say, "That's right, you think this is a game, no matter the outcome, it will end, at most it will give you a bad face."

"What are you talking about? This is just a trivial matter of who you are having dinner with."

"Haha, this is the fact that I want to tell you." Xin Youtao suddenly put away his smile, "Game is not just a game, it is also a battle! Every game is a battle that determines the future. People who understand this principle are ahead, and people who do not understand this principle are behind."

"The oldest of us is no more than fourteen years old, so there is no need to pretend to be an adult."

Xin Youtao's expression was not only serious, but also a little fierce. "The children's games are particularly cruel. Do you think I didn't notice it? When a few people in Yelin Town walk together, you always walk in the middle with Shen Hao, and your arms can be swung freely-" Xin Youtao made corresponding actions, like a manic monkey. "The two brothers of the Shen family are following you, and they dare not throw their arms around. Mu Feihuang and the others compete for the nearest position in front of Shen Hao, and they are like fighting every time."

Xin Youtao looked disgusted, as if he had participated in the position but failed. "Mu Xingqiu, this is a child's game. The result of the game is to determine the position that everyone should have. If the position is not determined, the game will not end. It is stupid if you do not accept your position in Pangshan Daotong."

"You accept it, Prince Nishisuke successfully obtained a position as a follower."

Xin Youtao laughed, his laughter was still a little tender, but his false accent was the same as that of an adult, "The current situation, Mu Xingqiu, this is called the current situation. In Pangshan Taoist Tong, of course, Shen Geng is the leader; if we were studying talismans in Xijie City, even the master's son would bow to me; if there was a day when the world was reversed, we would have to go to Yelin Town to be a farmer, and then you and Shen Hao were qualified to be superior."

Xiaoqiu hated Xin Youtao very much, but when he calmed down, he felt that the other party's words made some sense, "Then please tell Shen Geng that everyone in Yelin Town and I have no intention of challenging his status. He can be his leader, so we can just stand by and watch."

"Haha." Xin Youtao laughed loudly and stood up for a while. "If all the subjects do their own things and watch coldly, what's the point of being a prince? The contempt of a pariah can sometimes destroy the majesty of the king, resulting in a series of disrespect. This, whether it is Yelin Town, Xijie City, or this museum, is the same. Do you think you can make a fuss in Yelin Town, and you can still use the same trick here? Yelin Town disappeared and was taken away by the demon seed. This is the only reason you escape punishment. You are lucky, but luck will not follow you forever."

"The kings and princes have the truth, and I have mine." Xiaoqiu already understood what Xin Youtao meant and decided to invite the guests out. "You are a good lobbyist. If you have the chance, I hope Shen Geng can hear this, but my thoughts have not changed."

"Do you think I am a lobbyist sent by Shen Geng?" Xin Youtao asked in surprise.

“Isn’t it?”

"First of all, I volunteered to make Shen Geng happier. Secondly, I am not trying to persuade you to bow your head, on the contrary, I am here to inspire you to continue to raise your proud head."

Xin Youtao patted his chin, raised his head, and expressed the ridicule clearly, "It is interesting to confront the two factions. I am not the leader, why should I calm down the trouble? Fight, Mu Xingqiu, continue your game, try to shake your arms, and squeeze out a piece of territory for yourself. You are not completely unavailable, this is the Taoist sect of Pangshan, and practicing Taoism is everything, and those who make rapid progress are kings and princes. Although I don't like you at all, you still have a glimmer of hope. If you don't want to bow to someone with higher status, then work hard. I will watch your game in the position of a follower."

This is Xin Youtao’s purpose, sitting in the mountains and watching tiger fights, waiting for opportunities to strive for a higher position.

"Goodbye." He nodded solemnly, turned around and walked out of the house, pushed open the door and turned to face Xiaoqiu, changing into a disappointed tone, the voice was loud enough for the people in the neighboring house to hear it - he hoped that the last sentence could reach Shen Geng's ears.

"I have said everything I should say, Mu Xingqiu, this is your own choice."

"Game is fighting?" Xiaoqiu whispered to himself in the room alone, unconsciously shook his arms, and gave his own answer, "Then let's fight."
