How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Watching them compete against each other, Hei Yang Hong Li looked on with emotion.

"I'm getting old after all. I'm not as daring, energetic, and passionate as these young people."

Hei Yang sighed: "The desire to win and the desire to compete are almost completely foreign words to me now."

"what?"

Hong Li glanced at Hei Yang and couldn't help but ask, "Who was it that competed with others in setting up formations the day before yesterday?"

Just two days ago, he was fighting tooth and nail with Yin Zisheng, and today he's saying something completely different, isn't he? How fickle, Black Sun."

"Freeze said."

Hei Yang patted Hong Li on the shoulder and snorted, "Was I competing for myself? I was fighting for you!"

I have to prove that your judgment is better than Yao Qingkong's!

"Moreover."

Hei Yang said with a look of dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by fighting to the death?"

Didn't you see I completely crushed him? That mere Silver Saint was knocked to the ground and had no choice but to surrender!

"Yes, yes, you're the best."

Hongli revealed her crescent-shaped eyes and clapped her hands as encouragement.

"Hey, can you make your expression a little more sincere?"

Hei Yang remained silent.

"Ah~ Lord Kuroyo is so amazing~"

Hongli looked up at Heiyang with sparkling eyes, her face full of admiration: "Is this okay?"

"Pfft..."

Hei Yang was amused by Hong Li's expression: "You're hilarious! What kind of funny expression is that?!"

"Hmph, I'm just asking you, are you scared or not?"

Hongli stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug.

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid."

"Hahaha!"

Huo Le: "..."

Before long, all the disciples had gathered in front of Hei Yang, Hong Li, Huo Le, and the others.

Everyone's attention was first drawn to Elder Huo Le, who looked dejected, and then they were instinctively drawn to Hei Yang Hong Li.

"Hey? Brother Heiyang!!!"

Hei Xiaolong, a big fan of Hei Yang, was still the first to shout it out.

He took two or three steps to Hei Yang, grabbed one of Hei Yang's hands, and tears streamed down his face.

"I'm sorry, Brother Heiyang, I couldn't come back for your birthday the day before yesterday."

I tried to sneak out, but I failed and ended up getting tied up by that big bad guy, my master, who kept me tied up for a full half hour!

Hei Xiaolong immediately started complaining, sobbing, "Happy birthday, Brother Hei Yang, although it's already late, waaaaah..."

"Oh, okay, okay..."

Hei Yang chuckled helplessly and patted Hei Xiaolong's head, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm? You've grown taller again? It's only been three months since we last met, right?"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing about the height issue, Hongli immediately became alert. She was about to greet Xingyun when she abruptly turned to look at Hei Xiaolong.

She looked at Hei Xiaolong with disbelief, then she keenly sensed that something was wrong!

"Really? You little dwarf, how is that possible? You're taller than me! How is that possible?!"

"Oh, what do you mean, 'little guy'? Sister Hongli..."

Hei Xiaolong scratched his head helplessly, held up a finger, and argued, "You just didn't pay close attention to me when you married Hei Yang."

I was already taller than you back then. In fact, I grew this tall last year, about 20 centimeters in just a few months.

"What?!!"

Hong Li's eyes widened, and she froze.

"A few months, twenty centimeters? What kind of myth is that!"

Hongli squatted down behind Heiyang, drawing circles with a look of resentment on her face.

"What the hell? Who cares? I might even grow taller..."

"Ah this."

Hei Yang looked at Hong Li with a helpless expression and comforted her, "Alright, alright, Xiao Li, don't be sad. I like your height."

"Ok!"

Hongli suddenly stood up, hugged Heiyang, and said emotionally, "Heiyang, you're the best!"

"Ok?"

This time, it was Hei Xiaolong who froze, looking down at his legs.

"So Brother Heiyang doesn't like this height? I get it. I'm going to have a section sawed off. These wretched legs are the reason Brother Heiyang dislikes me... Ah!"

Hei Xiaolong gritted his teeth, rubbed his head, looked at Hei Yang with a wronged expression, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Hei Yang, why did you hit me!"

"You still have the nerve to say that."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes at Hei Xiaolong, that brat.

"What are you pretending to be, playing the yandere with me? Get back here, stand in line, and stop acting crazy!"

"oh----"

Hei Xiaolong sighed and obediently stood in the line.

"and many more."

Zhao Zhuji couldn't help but look at Elder Huo Le and raised her hand to ask, "Elder, has our Wuliang Sword Sect's captain arrived yet?"

"Ah, speaking of which, Master and the others didn't come either."

Hei Xiaolong realized what was happening and looked at Hei Yang Hongli with curiosity, scratching his head and saying, "And Hei Yang, is Sister Hongli here too? Did she also sign up for this event?"

As soon as Hei Xiaolong finished speaking, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Most of the people here are disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and the Medicine King Sect. They have hardly ever seen Hei Yang and Hong Li, but they have heard of their infamous reputations.

"Huh? You must be joking! These two are coming to participate too?"

"What should we do? Two Nascent Soul stage cultivators are personally involved. Even if they just stand there and don't move, we still have no chance of winning."

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's not like we're fighting. We're just searching for resources and laws. Remember what the elders told us? To help the world integrate."

"I know, I know, this is a great achievement, it will earn me lots and lots of credits..."

"What the hell are academic credits?"

"Doesn't your Wuliang Sword Sect have a credit system?"

"What a coincidence, our Five Elements Sect doesn't have that either."

"Oh no, our Medicine King Sect has become an exception!"

"..."

The crowd immediately erupted into a commotion. Some were shocked by Hei Yang Hong Li's sudden participation, some suddenly veered off-topic in their conversation, some took the opportunity to whisper among themselves, and others were thinking about what to eat later.

"OK OK."

Hei Yang clapped his hands, exchanged a glance with Hong Li beside him, and nodded.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet for a moment, because there's been a small problem."

Hei Yang pointed to his finger and explained, "Because your PE teacher—oops, I mean, your elders all suddenly got sick, so this class—oops, this activity will be led by Teacher Hong Li and me."

Everyone: "??!"

"and many more?"

Elder Huo Le stared wide-eyed and pointed to himself.

"When did I fall ill?"

"what?"

Hei Yang and Hong Li both looked at Elder Huo Le with unfriendly expressions, as if to say, "If the old man says another word, you'll really end up in the hospital." Cough cough...

Huo Le: "..."

"Is that so?"

"So the elders were sick, so these two took their place. I knew it!"
