Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami

Seeing Mu Lin coming, Zong Xiu also surrounded him.

"Brother Mu, you are back. Just now..."

Seeing that he had guessed something, Mu Lin did not hide it, but said with some dejection: "As you thought, it was Teacher Dongfang Ya who came to me just now. She asked me to keep a low profile and not to cause trouble."

As soon as he said this, Zong Xiu immediately nodded in sympathy: "You were indeed too arrogant just now..."

However, before he could finish his words, Mu Lin changed his tone and said:

"But Teacher Dongfangya also gave me a promise. As long as I don't take the initiative to provoke others, and others provoke me, I can report it to her."

As soon as he said these words, the deep sympathy on Zong Xiu's face disappeared without a trace in an instant. At this moment, all that remained on his face was envy.

"Fuck, why are you so lucky!"

"I also think there is someone above me!"

Obviously, just as Mu Lin expected, Zong Xiu thought that he was valued by Teacher Dongfang Ya, and therefore, he felt that such a promise would continue to be effective.

This is misleading. More importantly, if you look carefully at what Mu Lin just said, there is actually nothing out of the ordinary - that is Teacher Dongfang Ya's promise.

Mu Lin just hid the fact that he was committing suicide, but this matter could not be said openly.

Therefore, what Mu Lin did was completely reasonable.

"By the way, brother Zong, I saw that you looked depressed just now. Did something happen?"

This is a change of topic. In order to minimize his own responsibility, Mu Lin will only say an ambiguous word, and the rest will be left to others to think and express themselves.

In this way, when Teacher Dongfang Ya came to find him, he could spread his hands and say that he didn't know anything and that it was just rumors spreading.

Here, Mu Lin is planning something.

Zong Xiu, who was asked, sighed and said, "What else could it be? We went to climb the tower just now."

"Didn't you pass?"

"I passed the first level, but stopped at the second level. Alas, the trial of the Tower of Fantasy is really difficult!"

After sighing for a while, Zong Xiu thought of something and regained his energy. He smiled and said to Mu Lin: "Speaking of which, our team is not the only one who failed this time. Ji Xue and Yan Yunyu also went to break into the tower. They both wanted to do it." The first person to break through the fourth level, both of them failed."

From Zong Xiu's words, Mu Lin learned a lot of information.

The first is Ji Xue and Yan Yunyu. These two people are considered the first rung of the tower. But even so, the two... or the two teams are still stuck on the third level and cannot pass the fourth level.

And this also gave rise to a speculation in Mu Lin's mind - there may be a qualitative change in the difficulty from the third level to the fourth level.

"Could there be monsters and weirdos in the spring realm appearing on the fourth floor? That should be the case. Only in this way can we stop the two of them."

Secondly, Yan Yunyu, who failed to climb the tower and did not want to fall behind, had already spread the word and was preparing to spend spiritual stones to hire others to be her temporary teammates.

When Zong Xiu told the number of spirit stones that Yan Yunyu was going to take out, Mu Lin's brows immediately raised.

"Wait, according to the number of spirit stones she produced, after climbing the tower, even if she can get rewards, she can't make ends meet... Okay, I forgot, for these rich family children, spirit stones are nothing, save face more important."

Female stars in previous lives spent money, hired trolls, and exposed the other party's scandals in order to compete for the rankings. In comparison, Yan Yunyu only paid people to be her teammates, and the people she hired were supported by Taoist palaces. Yes, this method can be called gentle.

Because Yan Yunyu paid enough money, Mu Lin was also a little moved.

However, he also knew that he was looked down upon by others because of his spiritual roots, and it was impossible for that person to invite him.

"Forget it, don't be in a hurry, it's not the business we're here for. Let's wait until we break into the tower in seven days. If I perform well, she won't have to go, and she will pay to hire her."

After a conversation with Zong Xiu, Mu Lin left.

And just as he expected, because he didn't let Zong Xiu help him hide it, and Zong Xiu felt that telling his friend about being protected by Teacher Dongfang Ya would reduce the trouble for his friend, so he told the story Things spread.

As soon as this incident came out, although everyone in the class was calling him a piece of shit and feeling envious and jealous of him, there was no one who really dared to provoke him.

What Mu Lin didn't even know was that the fact that he was valued by Teacher Dongfang Ya had already reached Yan Yunyu's ears.

"What are you talking about, Mu Lin is valued by Teacher Dongfang Ya?"

Yan Yunyu was quite surprised when she heard about this for the first time. She knew Dongfang Ya's status, but because of this, even she felt a little envious that Mu Lin was valued.

Facing Yan Yunyu's astonishment, her maid Xiaoxue said quietly: "Well, according to my investigation, some students become a little lax after being promoted to formal classes. Teacher Dongfang Ya is very dissatisfied with this trend. Mu Linjin Ban, was taken advantage of by her."

"After being used, Mu Lin was not angry. Instead, he tried his best to help Teacher Dongfang Ya to stimulate others. Such behavior should be the reason why he is valued."

Maid Xiaoxue's analysis was very...reasonable, and Yan Yunyu, who knew Dongfang Ya's character, had no doubts. She just grumbled in displeasure: "That guy is really lucky."

As if she didn't hear Yan Yunyu's envy, the maid Xiaoxue said quietly again: "Do you need to increase Mu Lin's priority and win over him?"

Hearing this, Yan Yunyu shook her head without much hesitation.

"No, that guy is indeed a little clever, but in this world, strength is valued after all. A little cleverness is of little use to me!"

…

Mu Lin didn't know Yan Yunyu's evaluation of herself.

However, after returning to class, Mu Lin discovered something strange.

Logically speaking, after Yan Yunyu spread the word about using spiritual stones to hire masters, there should be many people surrounding her.

In fact, some people did gather around him, but what surprised Mu Lin was that the students surrounding Yan Yunyu were all middle-level students in the official class.

The real top talents are all surrounding Ji Xue and want to form a team with her.

This scene made Mu Lin a little strange at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.

"This world is not peaceful, but extremely dangerous. As Dao Palace students, we have a high status and good treatment, but in the end, we have to go to the battlefield!"

"On the battlefield of life and death, there is no doubt that the stronger our teammates are, the higher our chance of survival will be."

"And Ji Xue is the strongest person in the class who is unquestionable. Even without teammates, she has passed the third level based on her personal strength. This is the same as Yan Yunyu's entire team."

"Therefore, if they become Ji Xue's teammates, they can climb higher and will be safer in the future."

Even if Mu Lin were asked to choose between the two, his first choice would be the extremely powerful Ji Xue.

What's more important is that Yan Yunyu is the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family and has a large amount of spiritual stones, but Ji Xue's status is only high but not low, and she is not short of money.

'Yanyun Yu has it, and Ji Xue has it, but Ji Xue has it, but Yan Yun Jade doesn't. No wonder the real elites will gather around Ji Xue...'

Therefore, the matter had little to do with him. After sighing, Mu Lin ignored it. At this moment, he had more important things to do.

"My Black Water Black Snake cultivation will advance to Spirit Awakening today!"
