"I heard that Shangguan Tianran is his grandson. During the Pari martial arts competition, Shangguan Tianran lost to me and won the runner-up."

"But I don't think this is a big grudge." Bailiqi replied.

"Of course. A martial arts competition is based on strength. Even if Shangguan Tianran has high aptitude, it is normal for him to take second place if he does not have the strength."

"Elder Gu shouldn't hold a grudge against you because of this matter." General Yao replied.

This time, there was a rift between General Yao and Elder Gu.

General Yao also had in-depth communication with Bailiqi.

It is emphasized that people at Elder Gu's level should not attack Baili Qi under normal circumstances, unless they are on the battlefield and are hostile.

In today's situation, Elder Gu is not at all right.

If the leader of Jiulianshan Sect knew about this, Elder Gu would face extremely severe punishment!

Besides, Bailiqi is a student that the sect has focused on training. As an elder of the sect, Elder Gu should protect him well.

Now, he was looking for reasons to teach Bailiqi a lesson.

No matter where Elder Gu goes, he won't be able to reason with anyone.

With other students present, Elder Gu probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly like this.

The reason why he dared to do this today was probably because he saw Bailiqi coming out alone, so he was betting that there were no other acquaintances present, and no one would know even if he killed Bailiqi.

Those masked men in black are most likely here to take the blame.

But unexpectedly, those men in black were almost all killed by Bailiqi.

So Elder Gu became furious and wanted to destroy Baili Qi in one fell swoop.

General Yao and Baili Qi analyzed that today's operation was not successful, and Elder Gu did not dare to take any more actions.

Because this matter has become a handle, he cannot pass the test of the head of the sect. As long as Baili Qi is really killed, Elder Gu will be the first suspect.

Therefore, as long as he wanted to continue staying in Jiulianshan Sect, he would not dare to harm Baili Qi easily.

Bailiqi stopped thinking about these things.

He is indeed no match for Elder Gu, but Elder Gu does not dare to kill him yet.

We can only use other forces.

It is impossible for all the students in the party to listen to him.

Besides, no one in this group of students can match him.

Teng Shengshu let something slip during the last investigation and mentioned Elder Gu, which shows that Elder Gu is gradually losing the support of the people.

Bailiqi spent more time concentrating on work and cultivation. Fortunately, General Yao still understood and supported him.

Bailiqi and General Yao also talked about other things.

It turned out that General Yao was originally an official in the imperial palace. He and the prince were distant relatives, and were part of the imperial family.

But ever since something happened to the crown prince, he had been demoted until this time when he was demoted to this remote place to guard.

Moreover, this place has always been where demoted officials stayed. Everyone here doesn't have much interest in doing anything and basically just muddles through. If they do a good job, they get no credit, but if they do a bad job, they will be held accountable.

Therefore, conditions here are very poor in all aspects, but no one will spend more money on these aspects, and the court is also unwilling to spend money.

General Yao has some different ideas from his predecessor. He wants to make a career here.

So we applied for a sum of money from the court, but some officials in the court always delayed it with excuses.

The most basic condition is that there is a serious shortage of soldiers here, and the court is still dragging its feet with various reasons.

Because this was related to the important matter of guarding the border, the imperial court did not dare to veto it and just delayed it.

General Yao had no choice but to use his own connections.

He asked for help from his fellow disciple, the leader of Jiulianshan Sect, who organized a group of students to come to the rescue.

However, no one expected that Elder Gu would have some new ideas and could not accommodate all the students in the sect, which made General Yao a little disappointed.

Elder Gu returned to his residence, feeling somewhat unhappy.

He originally wanted to kill Bailiqi directly, and then defect to the enemy with his grandson.

He had made all the arrangements, and his family had already moved to the border. They could flee to the enemy at any time, and all aspects had been negotiated with the enemy side.

Because Elder Gu has completed all the tasks here and has been working in the intelligence field for so many years, he was worried that if he continued to stay here, he might be exposed at any time, so this time he fought with the head of the sect for the opportunity to lead the team.

It was also requested that all the top 64 students from the competition be brought here, with two goals in mind.

One is that his grandchildren can come out with him.

On the other hand, he could take the opportunity to get rid of Bailiqi, a potential rival.

In this way, his grandson will have the possibility to dominate the world in the future. This is really killing two birds with one stone.

He never wanted to do it himself, as it would be easier for him to get away.

So he had given the enemy intelligence before and let them take action. In this way, he would not have any responsibility.

Who knew that Bailiqi's martial arts skills were beyond his expectations, and he actually killed so many enemy soldiers by himself. This made him lose face in front of the enemy and almost exposed his identity as a spy.

So he was a little angry and embarrassed. This time he saw Bailiqi was out, so he wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger directly.

So, he asked other enemy forces to send a small team to carry out the mission, and he would monitor from the side. If it didn't work, he would take direct action.

He didn't expect that General Yao would follow him without anyone noticing. He had no choice but to give up.

Elder Gu sat there, unable to understand why he had almost never failed when doing these things before.

But why did the two actions against Bailiqi fail? What went wrong?

Elder Gu is now facing a problem. He needs to escape as soon as possible because General Yao already suspects him.

Therefore, his chances of getting rid of Bailiqi were even smaller.

Elder Gu would not be happy unless he got rid of Baili Qi. He really couldn't stand Baili Qi.

He didn't know why, but he disliked the child at first sight. He was even more unhappy because Bailiqi defeated his own grandson in the competition.

His grandson's qualifications were quite high. The "Yu San" qualification was the highest qualification since the founding of the Jiulianshan Sect.

Elder Gu has already determined in his heart that his grandson will definitely be the number one person in the history of Jiulianshan Sect and will be invincible in the future.

Who would have thought that in a big martial arts competition, Bailiqi would actually defeat his own grandson.

What’s even more infuriating is that Bailiqi’s qualification is just the humble “Golden Second” qualification.

He felt like he couldn't swallow this.

Although, he had heard the legend that people with jade-level qualifications would have a certain chance of opening the door to the fairyland in the future, but that was only a certain chance and did not mean that it could definitely be opened.

Because the prerequisite for opening the door to the fairyland seems to be that one must be invincible in the world.
