Chapter 855: I Will Be Responsible

Chinese cave.

The river flows eastward, and a large five-toothed ship is going down the river.

"Jiang Rubi leads the sky, reflecting the red jade in people's hearts! The talent of Emperor Gu Wen is really unimaginable. I think back then, he could write such a poem at the age of seven." Su Qihan looked at the broad On the river surface, people sigh and sigh.

She was the daughter of the minister of the dynasty, with a graceful figure, pure beauty, gentleness and elegance, and a scholarly temperament. In addition to her beauty, the most commendable thing about her is her talent. She is full of poetry and theory, and is well versed in history. She can make most men in the world feel inferior to her.

"Miss, the wind has picked up. Be careful of catching a cold. Let's go back." The maid beside her advised.

Su Qihan sighed, but still stopped on the inside of the ship's side, watching the surging river.

The maid insisted: "Miss, are you worried about the next journey? Didn't you beat the evil thief away? According to me, we have selected eight of the top ten talents of our time. The next two, we will Can’t you just choose whatever you want?”

Su Qihan shook her head: "You don't understand. The matter of selecting the top ten talents is not just an imperial decree, but also related to the future prosperity of my Su family."

The maid pouted: "Miss, I don't understand the principles of the court, but you must give me the medicine to drink."

Su Qihan smiled bitterly: "My body is injured, how can ordinary decoction have any effect. It's just for comfort, don't drink it."

The maid stamped her feet: "Miss, don't lie to me. This decoction has no effect on your injury, but you have been cold since childhood. If you don't take a meal of the decoction to warm your body, you will be in danger of frostbite. So. , you must drink this medicine."

"Okay, okay, bring it over." Su Qihan had no choice but to take the bowl and drink it all in one gulp.

She had just finished drinking when she heard a burst of laughter.

Then a figure crashed through the water with a pop and jumped onto the deck.

"who?"

"It's you evil thief again!"

The guards on the ship immediately dispatched to surround the intruder.

But the person who came was very strong, and they beat the guards to pieces with a flurry of beatings.

"You are no match for him, stand down for now." Su Qihan stepped forward with a solemn look on her face, ready to fight.

The person who came had a face full of flesh, a strong back and waist, and the skin on his body was green and black, just like shark skin, which was the effect of shark skin Gu.

"Miss Su." He greeted with a smile, showing his sharp teeth, which made him look even more ferocious and ferocious.

Su Qihan sneered: "Shark Bandit, you were defeated by me not long ago. Haven't you learned enough lessons? You dare to come back now!"

The shark bandit laughed sinisterly: "Miss Su, I am not your opponent, but that was before you drank that bowl of medicine. Do you feel a little numb in your hands and feet now?"

Su Qihan's expression suddenly changed when she heard the sound.

"There's something wrong with this medicine?!" She immediately turned to look at her personal maid.

The maid hurriedly shook her head, her face as pale as paper: "This is impossible! I have been keeping an eye on this medicine and never left it. Miss, you have to believe me."

"Of course the medicine...ahem, there's no problem. Ahem, but the medicinal materials, ahem, I have tampered with." At this moment, another uninvited guest climbed up the side of the ship and stepped onto the deck.

Su Qihan frowned, and her heart sank to the bottom: "Yao Demon, you are not dead!"

Yao Mo looks like an old man, but in fact he is only in his twenties. He specializes in the poison path and pursues power blindly, causing himself to suffer backlash. His whole person is old and decayed inside and out.

There was deep hatred in Yao Mo's eyes: "Thanks to your cousin, I won't live long. But before I die, it's worth it to have a taste of the eldest daughter of the Su family."

Su Qihan's face turned pale and she took a step back: "What medicine did you give me?"

She felt numb all over her body.

The medicine demon laughed loudly: "Of course it is - the strongest aphrodisiac! It can teach the most chaste woman in the world to become the most lustful and promiscuous slut!"

Before he finished speaking, the shark bandit pounced on him.

Boom boom boom!

There were continuous explosions, and Su Qihan was retreating steadily.

"Miss, go quickly, I'll stop them!" At the critical moment, the maid stepped forward and gave up herself to buy time for Su Qihan to escape.

Su Qihan fell into deep hesitation.

"Miss, leave quickly!" The maid activated the forbidden technique, her combat power surged, but the consequences were certain death.

Su Qihan burst into tears, retreated, and walked away in the water: "Shark Bandit, Medicine Demon, I will never spare you. The imperial court will not spare your nine tribes either!"

A pavilion by the river.

Only two people.

One is Fang Yuan's clone Li Xiaobai, and the other is his teacher Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang looked at the river at night and said to Li Xiaobai: "Come on, write a poem for me to listen to. You are limited to ten steps."

The so-called ten steps refers to the time it takes for a normal person to walk ten steps.

Li Xiaobai himself was not as talented as his body, but after this period of hard study and practice, he had made great progress. He immediately opened his mouth and recited a few lines of poetry.

Then, after thinking for a while, he recited the following two sentences.

Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Xiao Bai, you have indeed made great progress during this period, but your current talent is still not enough to compete for the position of talented scholar."

"Teacher, I know that the ten-step poem is the test of Emperor Wen. Emperor Guwen initiated the selection of talents. Every twenty years, the court will select the top ten talents. The ten-step poem is the first in the selection of talents. Pass. I have passed, teacher, why don’t you suggest me to participate in this selection?" Li Xiaobai asked puzzledly.

Mr. Jiang turned around, looked at his favorite student in front of him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Bai, you only know one but not the other. The selection of the top ten talents is just an honor and competition on the surface, but in fact But he is cultivating future imperial officials."

"Teacher, do you mean becoming an immortal?" Li Xiaobai was surprised.

Of course Li Xiaobai was just performing, in fact he already knew everything.

The Tian Xiang killer move in Fang Yuan's hand is a powerful means of investigating the cave. Even if there are Rank 8 Gu Immortals stationed in the Chinese cave, they can't stop Tian Xiang's constant investigation outside the cave.

In this Chinese cave, belief is the well-deserved mainstream. Every time a Gu master writes a beautiful article, he will be rewarded by the cave.

Originally, there were many mountains in this cave sky, and the Gu Immortals were divided into separate territories. But later an Emperor Gu Wen appeared. This person was extremely talented and talented, and he became a Gu Immortal at an astonishing speed. He then attacked other Gu Immortals, either killing them or subduing them, and created a court that brought the entire Dongtian World under his rule.

In his later years, he also initiated the selection of the top ten talents. Select the best talents and beauties in the world and award them with honorary titles.

The imperial court selected suitable people among these talents, recruited them, provided them with resources, cultivated them into Gu Immortals, and appointed them as officials.

Therefore, the imperial court in Huawen Cave Heaven is the most powerful super power. Every first-level official is a Gu Immortal, without exception.

The current emperor is of course also a Gu Immortal. And the Level 8 Gu Immortal who is guarding this place is the current Mrs. Supreme Emperor.

Because it involves the chance of becoming an immortal, the selection of the top ten talents may appear to be glorious on the surface, but is actually full of undercurrents and bloody atmosphere.

All forces are vying and competing, using various connections and connections, and conspiracies are taking turns.

"The talented scholar from Shen University who competed with Mr. Jiang before was one of the top ten talents in each session. However, his political ideology is not high, or in other words, he is not very popular. As a result, he is still at the peak of rank five."

"My cheap teacher is the same example. He was once one of the top ten talented people, but he was not recruited as an official."

"My own talents just meet the selection criteria. And I am a disciple of my teacher. Under his influence, the court does not like it. Even if I am successfully selected, I am afraid I will not be able to become a high official. At best, I will only be a minor official. , working hard for the imperial court, delaying my own cultivation. I have no one in front of me, and my whole life has been delayed like this."

"Mr. Jiang and Shen Dacai probably saw this future, so they preferred not to be officials and stay away from the court. One opened a private school, and the other wandered around."

Li Xiaobai's heart was bright and clear.

It's not that Mr. Jiang and Shen Dacai have no future. If they can figure out the secret of becoming an immortal and successfully overcome the tribulation, they will naturally become Gu Immortals.

It's just that this Chinese cave is smaller than the five realms, and its resources are very limited. With the behemoth of the imperial court controlling almost all the immortal materials, it is really difficult for Mr. Jiang, Shen Dacai and others to become Gu Immortals, and there is little hope.

Mr. Jiang called Li Xiaobai to the riverside alone and communicated with him privately. He wanted to persuade the student to give up the selection of the top ten talents. He also had good intentions.

He knew that Li Xiaobai's own strength was low. Although he had reached the minimum standard, there was no hope at all.

The selection of the top ten talents was a whirlpool, and many talents died because of it. Mr. Jiang devoted all his efforts to teaching Li Xiaobai and did not want the student to be implicated and end up with a tragic death.

Little did he know that Li Xiaobai had already understood everything, including how to become an immortal.

But the play still has to be played.

Li Xiaobai first inquired, then regretted, and was unwilling to give up. Finally, he solemnly thanked Mr. Jiang and expressed his willingness to give up this selection, and even give up in the next few sessions.

"Children can be taught!" Mr. Jiang felt greatly relieved and left with peace of mind.

Li Xiaobai was alone by the river, walking on his way home.

"I can become an immortal by myself. But practicing too fast and ascending to immortality rashly will definitely arouse the vigilance of the eighth-level Gu Immortal. He will definitely investigate. If he finds any signs, or even just a hint of suspicion, I will It’s a life-threatening crisis.”

This is not what Li Xiaobai nor Fang Yuan wants to see.

Since Fang Yuan had soul penetration, he secretly arranged for Li Xiaobai's clone to save time and let the clone try to open up the situation as much as possible, and even take charge of this Chinese cave alone.

Although this is just a casual move, if it succeeds, it will definitely save Fang Yuan a lot of time and energy.

Of course, there is a backup plan.

For example, when Li Xiaobai grows to a certain stage, he can also combine the inside and outside of his body to calculate the eighth-level Gu Immortal.

"But it's too early."

"I studied under Mr. Jiang and got a foothold. During this period of hard study, I gained a little reputation. But then, if I want to continue to make progress, this environment is not enough to push me."

"If I can be selected as one of the top ten talented people, it will definitely be a springboard in life. Unfortunately, I have no power and only have one teacher. If I want to be selected, I must be assassinated by someone, and there is no way to please me."

"Actually, taking refuge in the imperial court is the best way to practice. The imperial court controls most of the immortal materials. Even if I become an immortal in the future, without these cultivation resources, it will be difficult."

Li Xiaobai sighed bitterly in his heart, and his steps suddenly stopped.

He found a person lying among the water plants by the river.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" After finding out the surrounding situation, Li Xiaobai leaned over to help.

When he dragged the unconscious woman ashore, he was surprised to find that this person was Su Qihan!

"what happened?"

"This Su Qihan is the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Su, a high-ranking member of the current dynasty. She is responsible for the selection and assessment of the top ten talents. She was injured and passed out!"

"Prime Minister Su is a rank six Gu Immortal, and Su Qihan is also an official of the imperial court who will be appointed in the future. He must be protected by the immortal family's means. To be reduced to such a situation, the selection of these top ten talents is really difficult."

In the Chinese Cave Heaven, men and women, regardless of gender, can become immortals, and naturally, they can all be officials. Many women are more talented and knowledgeable than men.

There are also a large number of women's private schools and universities distributed throughout the Chinese cave.

The top ten talents are naturally not just men, but also include female talents.

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Qihan woke up with a cry.

"Did you save me?" She looked at Li Xiaobai with fiery eyes.

Li Xiaobai thought to himself: "Why is there something wrong with this look?"

He nodded and was about to speak.

Su Qihan covered his mouth, turned over suddenly, and pushed Li Xiaobai down.

"Here, what are you doing?" Li Xiaobai tensed up and was a little confused. What kind of trick is this?

Su Qihan sat on top of him and began to unbutton his clothes, eagerly.

Li Xiaobai stammered and was at a loss: "Miss Su, Miss Su, please respect yourself!"

Su Qihan paused and narrowed her eyes: "Do you know me?"

Li Xiaobai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and broke into a cold sweat: "Miss Su selects the top ten talents, of course Xiaosheng knows about it. Miss Su, Xiaosheng is Mr. Jiang's student, and he just said goodbye to Mr. Jiang at a small pavilion by the river. "

Li Xiaobai was really scared. Su Qihan had the fifth level of peak cultivation, and he was no match for him.

At the moment, there are only two of them by the river, and Su Qihan is in a strange state, so Li Xiaobai naturally wants to move Mr. Jiang out to prevent him from being assassinated.

Su Qihan looked at Li Xiaobai deeply, with an unnatural blush on her face. She sighed deeply: "It's too late, your teacher has gone far. Now there are only you and me in a ten-mile radius."

"What do you want to do? Uh!" Li Xiaobai fainted when Su Qihan tapped him lightly.

This is definitely not what he wants.

According to his plan, he was able to develop steadily. As a result, now, he is reduced to a piece of cake and allowed to do as he pleases.

It would be terrible if his secret was discovered!

Li Xiaobai tried his best to wake up, but Su Qihan's unique methods made him unable to move even though he struggled hard.

In a daze, he seemed to have entered a cold cave, and then he seemed to have fallen into the waves, constantly rising and falling.

Afterwards, the cave became warm, as if warm wind was blowing on my face, and silk rain was drenching me, making it even warmer and moister.

In the end, he seemed to turn into a waterfall, and with a long roar, he passed out from joy.

I don't know how long it took before he woke up.

He was so exhausted that he felt weak in his bones.

He quickly checked the situation and found that his clothes had been completely torn and he was lying in a cave.

Su Qihan is dressing next to her.

"Ms. Su, Miss Su..." Li Xiaobai struggled to speak. He didn't even have much strength to speak.

Su Qihan didn't look at him, she was still getting dressed. Her voice was very steady: "It's been three days and three nights since you and I met."

"Don't worry, I..." She paused for a moment before finally being able to hide her excitement, her voice trembling slightly, "I will be responsible."
