One page time

At this time in Zhongzhou.

In the Yue Dynasty, in a thatched tea shop outside the imperial city.

Xuan Yi, dressed in a black robe, came to the outer city of the imperial city, then walked into the store and asked.

"Boss! Your business must be very good with so many people coming and going here, right?"

At this time, the boss came up to us with a smile and said, "Yes, of course the business is good with so many people coming and going every day."

Xuan Yi asked, "I just wonder if there are any important people coming here?"

Then the boss touched his chest and answered, "Of course there is. A few months ago, a huge flying boat appeared next to the imperial city. It turned out that someone from the Heavenly Palace was recruiting disciples. That person is definitely not from heaven!"

At this time, Xuan Yi replied carelessly, "Oh, really?" Soon Xuan Yi came to an empty corner and said to the Demon King Fire King using communication skills: "The only threat here is the Heavenly Palace."

The Fire King said, "My dear little lord, please stop playing around. If anything happens to you, we will be killed by the Demon King!"

Xuan Yi said: "I just need to be careful."

Then Xuan Yi went towards the Heavenly Palace alone.

Among the stone rooms where the menial disciples and slave disciples in the Heavenly Palace lived, there were two rooms filled with Xiaoxue's busy figure.

Xiaoxue seemed to know that Dongying would never come back after leaving today, so he decided to clean up Dongying's house and wait for Dongying to come back.

After doing all this, Xiaoxue still fetched water, swept the floor and practiced martial arts as usual.

A scream was heard from outside. Xiaoxue saw through the curtains that a group of children from a large family were beating and kicking a menial disciple.

"oops…"

It took a long time before this group of rich young men were willing to leave the stone house where they did the menial work.

"What kind of thing dares to snatch it from us...!?"

Da Zhuang stood up with wounds all over his body and staggered towards his stone house, but he found Xiao Xue beside him and said, "Little brother, are you new here?"

"No."

Xiaoxue originally didn't want to care about him because he... But then she thought about it and thought that as they were all menial disciples, they could help each other and comfort him.

"Why did they beat you?"

Hearing this, Da Zhuang at the side laughed first and then replied mockingly: "Because we are menial disciples, we are naturally inferior to them! We are lowly slaves."

When Xiaoxue heard Dazhuang say this, she felt a little disappointed and depressed, and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly I thought of Dongying, who was also a menial disciple but was still actively studying.

Even though he knew that this matter would never come back, he still had to do it. Thinking of this, Xiaoxue no longer remained silent but fought back against Dazhuang's words.

"Although we are indeed menial disciples and slave disciples, this is not something we can change now."

When Xiaoxue said this, her tone suddenly became serious, and her eyes became more determined than ever.

"But this doesn't mean that we will always live at the bottom of society and be beaten, abused and killed by the children of big families."

"There's always got to be a glimmer of hope. This is something a good brother of mine taught me."

Da Zhuang looked unconvinced and had a ferocious expression on his face. He widened his eyes and slowly walked towards Xiaoxue with his left and right legs.

Dazhuang picked up Xiaoxue with one hand. Since Dazhuang was quite big, it was easy for him to catch someone as small as Xiaoxue.

Then he said to Xiaoxue in dissatisfaction, "A lowly slave? Who do you think you are? You are just a servant who can't even get enough food to eat or wear warm clothes. Why can't you be beaten by the children of the big families? Why? Why? It's simple for stinky slaves, because we are just livestock kept in captivity, and our life and death are not decided by us."

At this time, Xiaoxue didn't hesitate at all. She tilted her head back and slammed into Dazhuang's forehead, knocking the burly monster down. Xiaoxue took the opportunity to fall down, and then staggered to Dazhuang.

"No way... that's just you being cowardly."

Da Zhuang slowly got up from the ground and looked at the weak Xiao Xue. He was very confused.

"How dare you, who is so weak, challenge a powerful person like me..."

Seeing that Xiaoxue didn't say anything, Dazhuang shook his burly body quickly and violently, came in front of Xiaoxue, and punched Xiaoxue on the forehead, knocking Xiaoxue to the ground. When Dazhuang saw Xiaoxue lying on the ground, he thought that Xiaoxue would never get up again, so he was ready to leave with satisfaction.

“Who allowed you to leave…”

Unexpectedly, when Dazhuang was about to leave, Xiaoxue got up again. Dazhuang rushed back and knocked Xiaoxue down again. After several rounds, Dazhuang got scared. He suddenly sat on the ground and looked at the monster that got up again.

Then Xiaoxue, who was covered in wounds and looked miserable, walked in front of Dazhuang and grabbed the corner of Dazhuang's clothes tightly.

There was blood on his teeth, but he was still speaking in an extremely confident and calm tone.

"What are you afraid of..."

Soon, Xiaoxue's bloody teeth burst into laughter.

"I said, we won't be slaves for life."

"If we are not slaves, then what are we?"

Da Zhuang then told Xiao Xue the reason why he came to the Heavenly Palace to practice. Xiao Xue immediately said, "So he is just a little fool who was tricked into coming here."

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Dazhuang. He collapsed to the ground in complete despair. Then he suddenly stood up again and was about to attack Xiaoxue who had destroyed his faith.

Xiaoxue stretched out her hand and told him.

"I used to be like you. Facing their oppression, I didn't dare to oppose them. But then there was a man who taught me that no matter what kind of oppression I faced, I should stand up and resist."

"No, you lied to me about all this, you lied to me, right..."

Think carefully about what I told you today, Da Zhuang.

Then Xiaoxue didn't want to pay attention to him, picked up the burden on the ground and went to fetch water.

Just as Xiaoxue was wiping the blood from his teeth and nose, suddenly a pair of rough big hands grabbed him.

"What's your friend's name? Can you introduce him to me?"

Dongying, who was far away in the back mountain, looked at the long stairs. Without any hesitation, he took a step with his right leg and climbed up with all his might.

In his hand he held a piece of paper he had found in Wang Shilin's house. At this moment, Wang Shilin was sitting cross-legged at the end of the stone steps, practicing.

At the same time, Xuan Yi also arrived at the back mountain of the Heavenly Palace after a long journey of dozens of days, but there were only two disciples guarding the gate. He could not get in, nor could he get any information. He was so anxious that he kept turning around in circles. He made up his mind and just ignored it...

At the same time, Zhu Sha, who was standing by, saw the note left by Wang Shilin and immediately handed it to his father.

Later, Elder Zhu Si saw the note and immediately gave the order.

"Come with me to catch the flower thief." At this time, Zhu Sha was still confused. Wasn't the flower thief himself?

At this time, Lu Chengnan, who had already reached the foot of the mountain, was so furious when he saw Dongying on the top of the mountain that he wanted to rush up and cut Dongying into pieces.

Soon, Mu Sinian and Mu Siyu also learned about the flower thief from Elder Zhu Si, and they gathered people at the top of the back mountain and rushed towards the back mountain.

At this time, he was stopped by the deputy hall master Qi Qun who said, "How could a small flower thief cause such a big disturbance? Is there a villain behind the scenes, or is it just a coincidence? I think you, as the senior sister, should know the answer!"

Mu Si Nian immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for the reminder, Deputy Palace Master, otherwise I would have fallen into their trap." Mu Si Nian immediately gathered new people.

"Someone, go and surround all the elders' houses for me."

Dai Qiqun sighed: "I hope there won't be any casualties!"

"I am coming…"

Wang Shilin finally heard the voice he least wanted to hear, then he slowly stood up and said, "How come you are just like Xiaochan, who can't be killed no matter how hard you try."

Dong Ying didn't waste time talking to him and asked directly: "What did you do to Xiaoyanzi?"

Wang Shilin said calmly, "I just came to invite him to my house. You look so nervous."

Dong Ying didn't plan to waste time talking to him, and then took the note he left and said, "Just do as you said on the note. If we win the duel, you release Xiaoyanzi, and if you lose, my life is yours."

"One on one, sure! But on what basis are you challenging me?" Wang Shilin already knew that the Dongying family had been expelled from the family tree, so he laughed without hesitation...

"Wang family, Dongying..." Seeing Dongying like this, Wang Shilin didn't plan to act with him anymore and replied in a cold tone.

"Wang family, Wang Shilin..."
