Chapter 472: A Head Aiming at the Steel Plate!
Tang Qi provocatively said, this was his strategy; only by completely angering the opponent could he force a flaw to appear!
However, Shangguan Na remained expressionless, despite the killing intent surging in her heart, her face showed no cracks.
“Xiao Qi, what are you talking about? How could I, your Senior Sister, possibly harm you? If even such a small matter has to trouble the Master, then in the Master’s eyes, you will become a waste. If you don’t believe it, you can try it out.”
Tang Qi’s expression changed instantly; the person was actually not provoked. This was rather tricky.
Seeing this scene, Miaowu’s expression held some confusion.
“Don’t you think that the methods of this Tang Qi are a bit too foolish? Exposing his ambitions so early, does he want to die faster?”
“After all, when it comes to favoritism and power, he can’t compare to Shangguan Na at all. Moreover, this method is too clumsy!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong also furrowed his brow.
Back then at the Jade Purity Sect, Tang Qi’s methods used to frame him were also quite ridiculous, yet those people believed them even more foolishly. Looking back now, it feels somewhat strange.
Just as he was about to speak, Miaowu spoke again: “Actually, Shangguan Na also used such methods to try to provoke me back then. I got a bit worked up at that time, but afterward I felt that it wasn’t like myself, as if I was being controlled by something!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong’s heart trembled.
He knew that there existed a mysterious skill—if used on others, it could unintentionally make the surrounding people become foolish, irritable, and even unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Looking back now, it seemed that there was indeed something strange about the fluctuations emanating from Tang Qi back then, and they were very hard to detect, presumably Shangguan Na was the same.
However, later for some reason, this fluctuation suddenly dissipated. Could it be that this was also a benefit of those destined for greatness, carrying a foolish halo that allowed them to easily win the trust of others?
After all, the operations of these two in front of Zhou Tong and Miaowu, compared to chickens pecking each other, had no difference at all.
Finally, Shangguan Na took the initiative and broke the stalemate.
“Junior Brother, you should calm down a bit; don’t be too impulsive and ruin your own major affairs.”
After saying this, she walked straight towards the assessment point, where Zhou Tong and the others were currently located.
“Hmph, you vulgar woman, don’t be so proud. One day, I will make you cry and beg under me.”
Tang Qi gritted his teeth and ultimately followed quickly.
“It’s coming, it’s coming! Why am I feeling a bit excited?”
Miaowu once again suppressed her aura, perfectly executing the Disguise Technique; even if another version of herself came before them, they wouldn’t be able to detect her true appearance.
As her words fell, in less than ten breaths, the two entered the assessment hall.
“Greetings, Lord Shangguan, greetings, Young Master Tang!”
The two guards responsible for overseeing the assessment hall bowed respectfully, which made Tang Qi extremely dissatisfied.
It was easy to tell from the way they addressed the two that these subordinates had a significant difference in attitude towards them.
“You remember this: starting today, I am the adopted son of the hall master. You best keep in mind how to address me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the two looked at each other, then immediately changed their tune.
“Hmph, at least you are sensible. Get lost!”
He flaunted his authority and waved his hand to expel the guards!
“Stop! Here, only my commands are absolute. With me present, you don’t have to follow anyone else’s orders. Do you understand?!”
Shangguan Na said firmly, causing the two guards to execute her orders without any hesitation.
“Damn!!”
Tang Qi cursed inwardly, fixing a cold gaze on the guards.
How dare these two not listen to him, causing him to lose face? They were already on the path to death!
“Are you today’s assessors?”
Ignoring Tang Qi, Shangguan Na looked at Zhou Tong and the others with a smile.
Someone had informed her before that these two were rare young strong warriors.
“That’s right! My name is Liu Bufan, and she is Anran. We come from the Eastern Continent and have long admired the Profound Sky Hall, here to apply for membership!”
Zhou Tong immediately used a pseudonym, and as his words fell, they both released their auras, perfectly carded at the peak of the Semi-Sage level!
“Good!!”
Shangguan Na couldn’t help but feel excited. She could clearly see that these two were exceptionally talented strong warriors, and she couldn’t wait to bring them into her fold.
“I declare you qualified. Next, we just need to verify your identities, and you can…”
“Wait a minute!”
At this moment, Tang Qi jumped out again. He looked up and down at the two, his eyes filled with disdain.
“Senior Sister, isn’t this a bit too hasty? Our Profound Sky Hall is not a garbage dump where any riffraff can be taken in.”
“What do you mean? Are you questioning my judgment?”
“I wouldn’t dare! I’m just worried that Senior Sister might make an oversight and bring in two wastes. After all, assessments are a process that cannot be skipped by anyone, right?”
Hearing this, Shangguan Na narrowed her eyes!
Tang Qi was purposely creating trouble, intending to publicly embarrass her authority and also to prevent her from accepting two capable assistants. It was simply killing two birds with one stone; how could she let him have his way?
“Get everyone responsible for the assessment to come in!”
Shangguan Na did not linger on the matter, and then proceeded with the normal process.
In her eyes, these two passing the assessment was simply a piece of cake.
Seeing this scene, Tang Qi revealed a sinister smile. He was waiting—waiting for enough people to enter the assessment hall, and then he would challenge Zhou Tong and the others and use absolute advantage to annihilate them!
In this way, in front of everyone, Shangguan Na would be utterly humiliated!
