"Tian Ming?" Shen Bailian looked at the handsome martial arts student in front of him and murmured in a low voice, but there were ripples in his heart.
His strong mental power allowed him to read the relevant memories from the depths of his mind in just a few milliseconds.
He did have some idea of the name.
Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi once gave him a small report about this person, saying that Tian Ming had spread rumors about him, but he didn't take it to heart.
First, because Shen Bailian's status in Tiangang Academy was achieved with one punch and one sword, and he did not rely on false reputation.
The second reason was because he was busy dealing with the Golden Cup and the Battle of the Cave.
Naturally, he didn't take this little thing to heart.
However, why did Tian Ming come here for no reason at this time?
Is it like those villains in novels who come just to show off and ridicule?
Commonly known as making trouble.
When he thought of this, Shen Bailian couldn't help but feel a little emotional and became excited. Isn't this the experience value delivered to his door?
To put it bluntly, he is also a militant.
When he first came to Hulao Pass, the reason why he showed off his big hands was not only to scare some people, but also to show off in front of Yuwen Changkong.
Based on his understanding of Yuwen Changkong, after seeing all his performances, he would definitely be unable to bear it and want to avenge him, so he would come to him as an experience package.
After the thunder tempering, the experience value of the steel body has not yet increased dramatically.
However, what he didn't expect was that before Yuwen Changkong came to the door in a hurry, it was the unfamiliar Tian Ming who came to the door first.
It's too late, but it's soon.
With Shen Bailian's current mental strength, it only took one hundredth of a second to think about this series of things. Naturally, Tian Ming could not detect anything unusual.
At the same time, Tian Ming also couldn't figure out why in just a short moment, Shen Bailian's eyes changed repeatedly when she looked at him, and she looked very interested in him.
This situation was obviously not within the scope of Tian Ming's original consideration.
Because in his original vision, Shen Bailian would either show an angry look or an indifferent look after hearing his name.
But now you look so interested in him, what the hell?
"I do have some impression of you." The corners of Shen Bailian's mouth raised slightly, his eyes flashed with a cold light that kept strangers away, and he said coldly:
"Xiao Chen and Xiao Su told me."
When Tian Ming heard this, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that this step of the plan was the right one. A look of shame immediately appeared on his face. He bowed deeply to Shen Bailian and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry. Senior Brother.”
"I'm sorry?" Shen Bailian was stunned.
He frowned slightly, looking straight at Tian Ming's demeanor that didn't seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but have doubts one after another in his heart.
This was completely different from the scene he had originally imagined.
The promised ridicule and pretending to slap you in the face? !
Nothing.
Shen Bailian's mental power swept past Tian Ming in an instant. After feeling his general physical fitness level, which was only at the Destiny Realm, he had no interest in Tian Ming at all.
For him at this stage, any warrior below the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm is no different from an ant.
It has no value as an experience pack.
Although it was a very impolite behavior to use mental power to scan others at will, to him, Tian Ming, who casually spread rumors about him, was tantamount to an enemy to a certain extent.
"Does this guy have a tendency to be psychotic?" Tian Ming looked at Shen Bailian, whose expression changed rapidly again, and an incredible thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He then denied it because how could this be possible.
After all, the other party is the most popular top martial arts prodigy today. The other party can have such momentum, thanks to his hard work behind the scenes.
It's a pity that Tian Ming didn't dare to say such words, especially in front of the rightful owner Shen Bailian.
"Yes." Even though Tian Ming was a little confused, after he noticed the impatient look on Shen Bailian's face, even though he was very angry, he still suppressed the discomfort in his heart and replied calmly:
"Because I listened to the slander from some friends before, so I spread some bad remarks, which caused some trouble to you, Senior Brother Shen. I have always felt guilty, but I never found a suitable opportunity to apologize."
< br>
"That's why it has been postponed until today. In order to express my apology, I specially prepared a small gift to express my apology to Senior Brother Shen."
"There's no need for a small gift." Shen Bailian looked at Tian Ming who looked guilty, and his guard against outsiders relaxed slightly, and he declined Tian Ming with a smile.
He has also encountered too many things recently, so his nerves are a little tense, and he is so harsh on a Destiny Realm warrior from Tiangang Academy.
It's just a little too much.
What's more, don't hit the smiling person with your hand.
Tian Ming has said this. As the senior brother of the 45th class of martial arts students, it is not easy for him to continue to blame the other party, and it is even more inconvenient for him to continue to find fault with Tian Ming. Of course, more importantly, it is unnecessary.
As for Tian Ming’s so-called small gift?
Then there is no need to accept it. What kind of good things can a fate-making realm warrior come up with?
It's better to just give him a favor and gain a good reputation.
"Senior Brother Shen, you must not refuse." Tian Ming said apologetically: "This is just a small apology. If you don't accept this small gift from me, I will definitely have a bad conscience."
While speaking, a faint silver light suddenly flashed in Tian Ming's hand, and then a jade box appeared in front of him. Before Shen Bailian could refuse, he opened the jade box and presented it to Shen Bailian.
He looked like he couldn't bear it, as if he had taken out his most cherished treasure, and said with great sadness: "This ginseng with two hundred years of medicinal effect was accidentally obtained by me during an expedition."
< br>
"After appraisal, its value is comparable to ordinary second-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It can greatly improve physical fitness level and martial arts potential. If it is used as the main raw material and paired with heart-shaped grass..."
"If you make the Great Return Pill, your cultivation speed can be increased to 130%-180% of the original value in a short period of time."
"Of course, considering your talent, Senior Brother, it is not impossible to double your cultivation speed. It lasts for up to three months, which should surely make your martial arts realm a step further."
Shen Bailian originally wanted to refuse, but in an instant, his eyes were deeply attracted by the ginseng doll in the jade box. It was as long as an ordinary person's arm, and its appearance was no different from that of an ordinary child, more like a living being. elf.
Moreover, as the jade box was opened, a wisp of fragrance of medicinal herbs suddenly spread out. Its medicinal effect was so rich that it far exceeded his imagination. He just took a slight sniff, and his slightly tired body suddenly became active. got up.
A flash of surprise flashed across Shen Bailian's eyes very quickly, and at the same time doubts arose in his heart.
Although he doesn't know how to judge the age of ginseng's medicinal properties, he has seen many kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures of various levels.
Just judging from the smell of this ginseng, its medicinal effect is probably not only comparable to those second-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but also comparable to some third-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Judging from the side, this ginseng has been effective for at least two hundred and fifty years.
In other words, Tian Ming misjudged the value of this 100-year-old ginseng. There seemed to be only a slight gap between the second-level top-level ginseng and the third-level ginseng.
The number reflected in the Daxia currency alone is as high as eight digits.
In other words, the treasure appraiser Tian Ming was looking for was most likely trying to trick him, saying that he was only a hundred years old. He was probably just a new student who didn't know much about how to judge the age of ginseng and wanted to buy it at a low price.
But the problem is, Tian Ming is just a warrior in the destiny realm. How did he obtain such a valuable treasure? "But."
"This has nothing to do with me." Shen Bailian was about to refuse.
Sudden.
"Eh? Look, isn't that boy Tian Ming?" At the corner, several martial arts students walked out chatting and laughing. The martial arts student walking in the front suddenly saw the martial arts student standing at the door. Shen Bailian and Tian Ming said doubtfully:
"Why would he come to see Senior Brother? Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"
Tian Ming's series of bizarre operations and rumor-mongering behavior are not only known to everyone among the 45th class of martial arts students, but they can also be regarded as well-known.
"You must be afraid of being beaten."
"So, from the looks of that boy Tian Ming, he should have brought gifts and came to Senior Brother Shen to apologize... However, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't..."
"Indeed, I hate people who spread rumors behind my back the most. What's the matter..."
"Do you think that boy Tian Ming would dare given his courage? Even if he really dares, look at the entire Tiangang Academy, which branch can accommodate this person."
All of a sudden.
The disdainful taunts coming from the side fell like wooden stakes in the ears of the ordinary-looking young man who was bowing in front of the tall figure, as if sharp thorns were piercing his ears. In his heart, his breathing quickened.
Tian Ming's blood surged, but within a moment his face turned the color of pig liver.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the martial arts students with his dark eyes. He secretly scanned the faces of the mocking martial arts students with hatred and engraved their faces in his mind.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking." One person suddenly became alert to Tian Ming's gaze. He quickly pulled the other people, walked in other directions without looking back, and continued: "That guy looks at Come over.”
Hearing this, the other people scratched their heads, with awkward smiles on their faces, and then looked at each other for a moment, then immediately turned around and left without hesitation.
"What are you afraid of? Tian Ming is the only one, there are so many of us..."
"Stop talking."
"You have to be merciful and merciful. What's more, this guy is so insidious. If you are resented by him, it will not be as easy for you in the future. I heard that his childhood sweetheart was killed by him."
"Real or false?"
"I don't know, I heard what others said..."
Tian Ming stared blankly at the martial arts students who looked unapologetic, a flash of self-mockery flashed across his lips, and then he pushed the jade box in his hand forward.
"I refuse." Shen Bailian looked at Tian Ming, whose expression was constantly changing. He didn't take it to heart, and stretched out his hand, ready to push the jade box back.
However, the moment his fingers touched the jade box, a message flashed across the panel.
[The divine substance has been detected and is being purified. The current progress is 1%...]
Shen Bailian was stunned for a moment. He never expected that a divine substance would be delivered to his door. Then he stared deeply at Tian Ming.
But?
Is this divine substance derived from ginseng? Or on top of this jade box?
If it's the former, it's easy to say, but if it's the latter, why hasn't Tian Ming been infected by divinity? According to his perception, Tian Ming's mental power has only reached level 9.0.
In an instant.
Tian Ming only felt that his heart had stopped, as if being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. The surrounding air seemed to be solidified, and a drop of cold sweat unconsciously gathered from the pores on his forehead.
He had experienced this feeling not long ago, but it was weaker now than before, but it was not something that a mere Destiny Realm warrior like him could withstand.
"But it seems not very good to just reject you, Junior Brother Tian. After all, this is your wish, Junior Brother Tian, so I reluctantly accepted it."
"Junior Brother Tian, don't feel guilty in your heart from now on. This matter is over. If anyone asks, just tell me what I said."
"Of course, I will also notify Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi, as well as the members of the Lion Heart Club, to spread the word about this later."
After saying this, Shen Bailian smiled and took the jade box containing ginseng in his hand with dignity. Then with a slight movement of his mind, he put it into the ring.
A set of flowing movements looks so clean and neat, without any sloppiness.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen, for your understanding." Tian Ming looked at Shen Bailian who took the jade box and was slightly stunned. Then the look of fear in his lowered eyes suddenly disappeared, and a flash of light passed by.
Just now, he thought his intentions had been seen.
However, now that the most risky stage has passed, the next step is to wait for things to slowly ferment.
"Senior Brother Shen, I won't disturb your practice now." With a flattering smile on his face, Tian Ming cupped his fists and bowed to Shen Bailian again. After the latter nodded, he turned and left.
With the sound of slight footsteps, Tian Ming disappeared around the corner.
"Interesting. As expected, the trees are as beautiful as the trees, and the wind will encourage them." Shen Bailian stared closely at Tian Ming's every move until he lost sight of it. Then he remembered the flashing reminder message on the previous panel, and the smile on his face became wider. His hair became thicker and he smiled:
"I would like to see what kind of ghosts and monsters are hidden behind this, and who is doing this little trick."
He didn't believe that Tian Ming could purify and absorb divine substances like him.
Therefore, there is a high probability that there is only one possibility, and that is that this guy Tian Ming, for some unknown reason, became corrupted and chose to become a traitor to the human race.
However, Tian Ming has not shown any signs of betrayal yet, and he cannot just casually say that the other party is a human being without any evidence.
but.
Shen Bailian was more interested in the deity behind Tian Ming. After absorbing the divine substance so many times, he already had a vague intuition about the quantity.
There are at least a thousand divine substances contained in the jade box/ginseng just now.
……
"Eh? Xiaotian is so happy, where did he go?"
"I went to see my senior brother for advice on some martial arts training issues."
"Huh? You're not..."
"We've made peace. Senior brother is very kind and has forgiven me for my previous reckless behavior."
Tian Ming walked on the way back to his dormitory, with an eloquent smile on his face. He greeted the martial arts students he met cordially and started talking.
The news that he had been forgiven by Shen Bailian was passed on to everyone.
Bang!
The moment the dormitory door was closed, the smile on Tian Ming's face disappeared, his eyes became dark and deep, he sat on the sofa and said to the air: "Is it okay?"
"That's enough, you don't have to keep pretending to be yourself now. The kid's perception can no longer cover you." (End of Chapter)
