After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

"What's the matter?" Bai Jiyue asked.

Yin Ting kept it a secret: "It's hard to decide now, we'll discuss it when we get there."

At that moment, Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri packed up and went to Village Ten with Yin Ting, pushing the gifts prepared by the villagers.

The Ma family is a wealthy family in Village 10. Once you enter the village, you don't need to ask. Just go to the house with the largest gate.

Yin Ting took Bai Jiyue and his sister to knock on the door, and it was Ma Qiao who came out to open the door.

When he saw Yin Ting, he was slightly startled, and then glanced at Bai Jiyue.

Bai Jiyue felt that she should be more generous, so she smiled at him.

Unexpectedly, he blushed and bowed his head and said, "Everyone, please come in."

He led Yin Ting and his party into the hall, and immediately a little maid came to serve them tea.

In the Dark Stone Wasteland, not many families could afford to hire servants, and the Ma family was obviously one of those rare families.

Bai Jiyue had just taken a sip of tea when Ma Yidonggang came out. She hurriedly stood up with Yin Ting and echoed Yin Ting's various thanks like a tool.

Ma Yidong waved his hand and said generously: "Our Tenth Village and Eleventh Village are neighbors, so we should naturally help each other. If your Eleventh Village is captured by those bandits, our Tenth Village will be next. This is what the saying goes, "When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

He suddenly changed the subject and looked at Bai Jiyue: "I heard that you killed the bandit leader?"

Bai Jiyue raised his head and nodded: "Yes."

Ma Yidong's eyes flashed with complexity: "It is rumored that you are a useless person, how come——"

"Doesn't Village Chief Ma know my situation? I was considered a useless person before because my spiritual roots were stimulated relatively late, I think."

Bai Jiyue knew that Ma Yidong was aware of his dual bloodline, so he simply went straight to the point.

Ma Yidong nodded: "That's right, I've heard before that people with dual bloodlines may indeed show their talents later than ordinary people. Although you are later than others, you are obviously a rising star. Your current cultivation has surpassed most of your peers in the village."

When he said this, Yin Ting took the opportunity to ask, "Village Chief Ma, has the quota been decided?"

Ma Yidong nodded and said, "I went to see the governor this morning and decided that each village can send two people to participate in the selection, and finally five people will be left to follow the governor to the capital."

Hearing the words "going to Beijing", Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri looked at each other.

Yin Ting showed his delight: "It would be great if there were two of us."

Ma Yidong looked at him with a half-smile: "You brought these two brothers and sisters here today, just to give them the quota, right?"

Yin Ting touched his head and smiled: "They are the only two best young people in the village. If not them, who else should we give it to? We still need to select them. If we find someone who is not good enough, wouldn't it be a waste of our village's quota if he goes?"

"Village chief, what quota are you talking about?" Bai Jiri asked.

Yin Ting smiled and replied, "The Queen Mother's birthday will be in two months, and all the counties will send people to celebrate. Although our Dark Stone Wasteland is a place where criminals are exiled, it is still a county after all, and the governor must go there. But the governor cannot bring too many people to the capital, so he plans to hold a selection competition to select the five best young people to be his personal attendants. At that time, there may be a chance to bring them into the palace, which can be regarded as a chance for you young people to come forward. If you perform well in the capital, you may be able to obtain amnesty from the Queen Mother or the Emperor, and then you can leave Dark Stone Wasteland."

Having said this, he paused, looked at Bai Jiyue meaningfully and said, "I know that your family is eager to leave this place."

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri stood up and bowed deeply to Yin Ting: "Thank you for your help, Village Chief."

"I'm not helping you, you have to strive for excellence. If you're not capable of this, even if I want to recommend you to participate in the competition, the villagers won't accept it. You made contributions in the battle with the bandits last night, and I'm sure no one will complain." Yin Ting said gently.

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri looked at each other and were very happy.

"Village Chief Ma, who will your village send?" Yin Ting changed the subject.

Ma Yidong smiled and pointed at Ma Qiao: "My brat is one of them."

Yin Ting looked at Ma Qiao, then at Bai Jiyue, and smiled without saying anything.

In the evening, Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri followed Yin Ting back to the village.

"After I go back, I will announce the list of candidates participating in the trials. Some villagers may come to provoke you at that time, so just ignore them." Yin Ting instructed them.

Bai Jiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief. I will accept anyone who challenges me. If someone is stronger than me, I will give him the spot!"

Yin Ting was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Girl, your personality has changed a lot. You used to be so gentle and didn't dare to speak loudly, but now you are so competitive and aggressive that even men are afraid of you."

"That's because I suddenly realized a truth, that is, kind people are often bullied! In the Dark Stone Wasteland, we still have to become strong!"

Yin Ting gave her a thumbs up to show his approval.

In the evening, Bai Jiyue told the good news to her family. Bai Jiyun clapped his hands excitedly: "That's great, that's great, my sister and brother will definitely be able to stay and follow the governor to the capital!"

There seemed to be a gleam in Yan Niang's eyes. Although she didn't say anything, Bai Jiyue knew that she was also looking forward to this day.

On the second day, Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri started practicing martial arts in the yard.

According to Ma Yidong, the trials will be held in half a month, so they cannot slack off and must ensure that they can stay by then.

The two were practicing in the yard, and suddenly Bai Jiyue said to Bai Jiri, "Someone is here to provoke us, it's Zhang Changjin!"

Zhang Changjin is Zhang Suya's brother, and his cultivation is at the upper level of the second level.

Originally, he was considered a relatively capable young man in the village, but recently all his limelight was snatched away by the Bai siblings. In addition, his sister Zhang Suya's ruined reputation was related to Bai Jiyue, so he hated the Bai Jiyue siblings with a vengeance.

He has been practicing diligently recently and even secretly went to the Mountain of Beasts, finally raising his level by one level.

After the village chief announced the list of contestants, he was very dissatisfied. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and came to settle the score with the Bai brothers and sisters.

When Bai Jiri heard his sister say this, he smiled leisurely, suddenly jumped forward and slapped the courtyard wall hard.

The big stone on the courtyard wall immediately collapsed, revealing a big hole.

Through the big hole, Bai Jiyue saw Zhang Changjin standing there in a daze.

Bai Jiyue smiled and said to Bai Jiri: "Brother, you are a little weak, look at me."

She deliberately took a stone in her hand and squeezed it hard in front of Zhang Changjin.

Then she let go, and the stone had disappeared, turning into a pile of powder.

She blew the powder out through the hole onto Zhang Changjin's body and deliberately said loudly, "Oh, Brother Zhang, I'm sorry. I was so focused on practicing just now that I didn't notice you were outside. Did I stain your clothes?"
