Beauty and the Bodyguard

Hearing this, Shangguan LAN 'er agreed and immediately nodded,""Although what you two said is unreliable, I won't blame you for helping me find little white!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness, young miss!" Meng jueguang and the other hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you two can go back. I'm leaving." Shangguan LAN 'er immediately carried the little Curly Bear and hurried away. The Shangguan family's family rules were very strict. It was already dark now, and if she stayed outside for too long and was found out by her family, she would be punished again.

Meng jueguang and Shangguan LAN 'er watched her walk away, then looked at each other and fell to the ground like deflated balls. The scene just now had really frightened them!

If it wasn't for Meng jueguang's quick reaction just now to cover up the matter, and Shangguan LAN 'er being so easy to fool, the two of them might have been dug up today, and they would really die without even knowing how they died!

"Ninth cousin, that Curly Bear was already half dead from my kick, how come it's still alive and kicking in Lin Yi's cave?" Meng Tong asked, still in fear and confusion.

"I'm wondering too-could that Lin Yi be able to heal it? This doesn't make sense. Even if he had the best healing medicine, it shouldn't be effective on this kind of spirit beast. " Meng jueguang was equally confused.

"Maybe this Curly Bear has a special Constitution and has the ability to heal itself?" Meng Tong said, patting his head.

"That's possible. After all, spirit beasts like curly bears are very rare. We don't know what kind of innate abilities they have." Meng jueguang nodded thoughtfully.

Compared to something as ridiculous as Lin Yi healing spirit beasts, the curly bear's natural ability to heal itself was much more reliable. After all, normal people wouldn't expect Lin Yi's practitioning to be so special that he could use pure energy to heal people, even spirit beasts.

Meng jueguang sighed with regret."Lin Yi's really lucky this time-if the curly Bear died in his cave, he'd have no way of explaining himself, and miss Shangguan would kill him for sure! What a pity, it failed at the last step!"

"Even if he escapes this time, with our ninth older cousin's scheme, isn't it a piece of cake to kill him!"

Meng Tong flattered him with a flattering smile and then said,"Tomorrow is the 25th-it's the newbie test. I don't know anything, and I'm not confident-I'm just worried that I'll lose to that Lin Yi kid by accident. That'd be embarrassing for you, ninth cousin, so you have to give me some advice in advance!"

On the 25th of the first month, all the newcomers would participate in the newcomer's trial. This was to make it before the first newcomer ranking competition so that the newcomers with potential could find an opportunity to break through in actual combat and enter the foundation establishment level as soon as possible. From there, they would stand out and become the key training targets of the three pavilions in the future.

However, even though everyone knew that the newbie trial would begin tomorrow, they had no idea what the trial was, what rules there were, or what loopholes they could exploit. Everyone only knew that everything would be announced before the trial started the next morning.

Meng jueguang chuckled."You're quite impatient, kid. Don't worry, although it wasn't announced in advance, the content of the newcomer trial is almost the same every time. I've already prepared a cheating device for you to ensure that you'll surpass everyone else. When the time comes, it'll definitely be a matter of minutes for you to get first place."

"A cheating device? Ninth cousin brother, you're like my second parent!" Meng Tong's eyes immediately lit up.

"Hmph, you can't do other things well, but you're pretty good at flattering!" Meng jueguang snorted, but he could not hide the smugness between his brows. He paused for a moment before saying,"Also, get the other newbies here before the test tomorrow-I have something to tell them. This is a great chance to mess with people, how can we let Lin Yi and the others go!"

"Alright!" Meng Tong nodded. Working together against Lin Yi was something he was happy to see.

The next morning, under the organization of their respective senior managers, the new disciples of the three pavilions gathered in the main hall of the welcome Pavilion. However, they did not announce the trial rules here. Instead, under the leadership of the pavilion master, Hu Yun Feng, all the new disciples headed to the trial ground in the back mountain.

The so-called back mountain was not the back mountain of the welcoming new pavilion, but the back mountain of the entire three pavilions. In front of the vast primeval forest that spanned tens of thousands of mu, the welcoming new pavilion, which occupied less than a hundred mu of land, seemed insignificant and not worth mentioning.

In the eyes of all the cultivators on the North Island, the back mountain was synonymous with natural treasures. If all the natural treasures on the North Island were divided into ten portions, the back mountain would occupy eight of them. Therefore, even though they knew that there were dangers lurking everywhere, cultivators still rushed to the back mountain like a flock of ducks. However, the back mountain was not a place that just anyone could enter.

The three pavilions had clearly stated that the back mountain was a forbidden area on the North Island. Without the permission of the elders, no one was allowed to take a single step into the back mountain. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy.

Out of respect for the newcomers, the elders 'Association allowed the welcome new pavilion to place the newcomer trial in the back mountain. Of course, this access was also limited. The newcomers could only move around in the outer area of the back mountain. As for the inner area or the more central area of the back mountain, they could not enter.

There was no need to worry about anyone taking advantage of this loophole because no newcomer could take advantage of it.

The top powerhouses of the three pavilions had set up layers of restrictions in the back mountain. There was one layer in the outer area, another in the inner area, and several more layers in the central area. However, the newcomer's trial had only opened up the outer restrictions. It was impossible to break through the layers of restrictions inside.

In fact, even if a one-in-a-million miracle happened and someone could break through the inner barrier, they didn't need to pay too much attention to it, because not only would the elder in charge of the back mountain guard notice it at the first moment, but there would be no loss even if they let it go.

It was true that the deeper one went into the back mountain, the more opportunities one would have to come into contact with rare natural treasures. However, one should not forget that the benefits were always proportional to the risks. If one didn't have enough strength, even if someone slipped in through a loophole, they would only end up as food for those powerful spirit beasts. There was naturally no loss to the back mountain.

Under the pavilion master Hu Yunfeng's lead, the senior brothers in charge of the three pavilions brought the new disciples to the rear Mountain Hall.

The back of the mountain was covered by a restriction. Unless one relied on unparalleled strength to destroy it, under normal circumstances, one could only enter and exit from a fixed path. And the throat that controlled the path was the back mountain Hall. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
