Perhaps it was a case of "a young calf is not afraid of a tiger," but she actually dared to say such words.
But such a fearless and confident aura made the Elders' hearts tremble. How many years had it been since they had seen a child like this?
"Hahaha..." the Tempering Body Sect Elder laughed, tilting his head back. "This little one is quite interesting. How do you want to cooperate with us?"
"It's simple," Tian Ning reported a location:
"The Elders just need to wait for me there. I'll lure people over as before. Then, the Elders can take care of them."
"Also, remember to leave me some Jade Slip points."
She deserved credit even if she didn't deserve full credit, so the points shouldn't all go to the Elders.
Elder Liu raised an eyebrow. "Why should we trust you? If you're just tricking us and never return after leaving, won't we be played for fools?"
"Then let's use a hostage."
Tian Ning said indifferently, "There's another coffin containing my blood-related fourth brother. Though I'm reluctant, under these circumstances I can only hand my relative over to you as collateral! Sincere enough, right?"
Wenren Yang: "..."
Does she feel uncomfortable unless she screws him over?
Elder Liu didn't believe this girl's nonsense, but just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by another Elder from the Fu Immortal Sect beside him. This Elder's surname was Bai.
Elder Bai spoke first, "Okay, we can try cooperating once. I hope you won't disappoint us!"
"Of course!"
Very happy that things were progressing smoothly, Tian Ning politely bid farewell to the Elders, and then attached a stack of Flying Talismans and Speed Talismans to the coffin.
'Whoosh!' She was gone!
Goodbye everyone, she's going on a long journey tonight!
The unprepared Elders: "..."
Watching the coffin that instantly disappeared from sight, Elder Liu, full of resentment, said to Elder Bai, "Why did you agree to her?!"
And now she's even escaped!
Elder Bai twitched the corner of his mouth. "I thought that by agreeing to her request, she would let her guard down and come out of the coffin..."
Who would have thought she'd run away with the coffin?
Moreover, as a Wanjian Sect disciple, shouldn't her first reaction be to use Sword Flight to escape? She actually used talismans while in the coffin! This was something they never expected.
Elder Liu had his sights set on Tian Ning for this competition. He anxiously said, "I'll go chase her back!"
"Well... that's not necessary."
Elder Liu: "What are you thinking? You actually believed her nonsense, what blood-related relative, that Wenren Yang is just a cheap fourth brother, it would be more valuable to catch a senior martial brother or senior sister from her sect!"
Because of Wenren Xue, the Fu Immortal Sect still knew something about the Wenren Family.
Wenren Yang: "..."
Can't they not say it in front of him!
It's really heartbreaking!
"Old Liu, have you been driven crazy by that youngster? Haven't you realized it yet?" said an Elder from the Refinement Sect.
Elder Liu: "?"
Elder Bai couldn't stand his stupid look. "What's the use of chasing after her? She's in the coffin; you can't do anything to her."
Elder Liu felt distressed. "So you're just letting her get away?"
"Didn't she say she wanted to cooperate and lure people over?" Elder Bai explained, "She can't possibly stay in the coffin while luring people..."
Elder Liu suddenly understood. "When that time comes, we'll take care of that girl first, killing two birds with one stone! Let her know what it means to be outfoxed by someone older and wiser!"
Cooperation on the surface, betrayal behind the scenes.
Truly a cunning old fox, that little girl is ultimately too young, she doesn't know there are always people better than her.
When the time comes, she'll have reason to cry!
Thinking of Tian Ning's shocked expression after being eliminated, Elder Liu felt a long-held breath finally release.
Awesome!
So awesome!
"Let's go! We'll wait for her there!"
—
The coffin flew a long distance.
Tian Ning heard Jiujiu chirp, confirming that the Elders hadn't followed, so she stopped and poked her head out of the coffin to check where she was.
What came into view was a busy figure diligently tilling the land.
"Fourth Senior Brother?"
Such a miserly person, who else could it be?
Tian Ning didn't expect this guy to be hiding here...
"Junior Sister?" Long Aotien turned around and saw the head popping out of the coffin, causing him to drop the soil in his hands!
Good heavens, who else did she go to cause trouble for this time?
Tian Ning enthusiastically issued a team-up invitation: "Fourth Senior Brother, are you interested in saving the entire sect!"
Long Aotien: "?"
"Isn't Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister participating in the competition?"
They, the junior martial brothers and sisters, just need to lie flat, so he was so peacefully working hard here to become wealthy...
Tian Ning gestured for him to check the points ranking on his Jade Token.
"Impossible!"
As soon as Long Aotien opened it, he saw Wanjian Sect's eye-catching 6 points, and the shocking last place.
Didn't Third Senior Sister confidently say before the competition that everything would be taken care of by her?
Last place... This is too embarrassing!
Long Aotien quickly stuffed the soil into his Dimensional Pouch. He stood up, his posture straight, his expression serious, his aura changed drastically.
"Junior Sister, Heaven has bestowed a great mission upon us!"
Perhaps considering that there were still spectators watching, he frowned, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees due to his imposing presence.
His cold voice spoke, inexplicably giving a sense of oppression, as if the crisis before them was nothing, everything was under his control: "Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister, they are ultimately unreliable! But don't worry! Today, let you and I, senior and junior siblings... ahhh..."
Tian Ning really didn't want to listen to his pretentious nonsense, so she grabbed his collar and pulled him into the coffin.
"Fourth Senior Brother, hold on tight, we're leaving!"
Long Aotien: "..."
Spectators: "..."
This absurd pair of senior and junior siblings, it's hard to know where to start complaining.
Long Aotien: "Junior Sister, where are we going? What are we doing?"
Shouldn't he have discussed the strategy before getting on? About his earlier ambition...
Tian Ning: "Wherever, just fight anyone we see, and hurry up!" The Elders are waiting.
Long Aotien: "..."
"
