Hell Emperor

Chapter 81 Xie Xinyu-Turtle Back
After hearing the results of the Talisman Maker's discussion, Xie Xinyu couldn't believe her ears.

According to the so-called rules, the final winner was not her, nor Nan Linghe who drew the spirit talisman, but the compromise was Ye Jie who did nothing. How could she accept this?

"Are you kidding? He didn't draw the spirit talisman at all. With his attainments in the art of talismans, I'm afraid he can't even make the simplest spirit talisman. What qualifications do he have to win the small competition?" Xie Xinyu couldn't believe it. road.

The Taoist boy said with a straight face and no mercy: "Is this the unanimous result of Master Fulu, or are you questioning Master Fulu and the entire Tower of Fulu?"

"You guys!" Xie Xinyu couldn't help but glared at everyone, his eyes especially lingering on Ye Jie for a long time, wishing he could see his appearance deeply into his heart.

Ye Jie was very innocent: "This... Miss Xie Xinyu, I remember you said not long ago that even if you lose, you must maintain good demeanor and self-cultivation, otherwise you will only become the laughing stock of others. I feel that now is the time It’s a good time for you to show your self-control.”

"Ye Jie! I'm so angry!" Xie Xinyu stamped her feet and stopped arguing with Ye Jie. After losing in the competition, she had no shame to stay here and left in shame and anger without looking back.

Ye Jie shook his head helplessly. There was one more person who remembered him. He just hoped that Xie Xinyu would not go back to complain to Xie Bian.

After determining the winner, Tao Tong soon handed a broken and simple turtle back and a cyan token into Ye Jie's hand as a reward for the winner of the small competition.

"What's the reward? Let me see."

Hua Xiaomei ran over excitedly, took the cyan token from Ye Jie's hand, and exclaimed: "Only the winner of the Fu Lu Competition is qualified to own this token. With it, you can log in." Go to the talisman competition and compete with the talisman masters on the same stage..."

Ye Jie shrugged: "It sounds very precious."

"Not only is it precious, it can even be described as having a price but no market... I don't know how many Talisman Makers are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the token from the winner of the competition. Even if they can't win, they can observe the making at close range. Master Fu's style can also benefit me a lot." Hua Xiaomei said with emotion.

Hearing the meaning of Hua Xiaomei's words, Ye Jie smiled and threw the token to her: "You want it? I gave it to you."

Hua Xiaomei hurriedly caught the token and held it in her palm. For such a precious token, Ye Jie gave it to her without hesitation. That trust also made her feel warm in her heart.

However, after holding the token for a moment, Hua Xiaomei sighed deeply: "I really want to go on the court and observe, but with my talent, I will probably stop here... In fact, I can also observe a lot if I stay off the court. This thing, this token, should be left to those in need."

Following Hua Xiaomei's gaze, Ye Jie also looked at Nan Linghe who was looking at something beside him, as if in a daze, and said unexpectedly: "Do you mean to let her come?"

Hua Xiaomei nodded: "This time, I have seen how powerful Fu Xing is. She can easily draw long-lost mutant talismans. Given time, she will definitely become the Taishan Beidou of the talisman. This time Let’s leave this hard-won opportunity to her.”

Ye Jie felt something in his heart, but when he thought about Nan Linghe, who was ignorant of worldly affairs and had a cute look, becoming a being like Mount Tai and Beidou, it felt a bit inconsistent no matter how he thought about it.

"By the way, what is the reward magic weapon? I haven't checked it carefully yet. The winner of Xiaobi will get an eighth-grade spiritual weapon as a reward."

Saying that, Hua Xiaomei smiled, took the turtle back in Ye Jie's other hand, and examined it carefully.

"What is this? Is this turtle shell an eighth-grade spiritual weapon?" Upon hearing the reward, Nan Linghe also leaned over curiously, but the more he looked at the turtle shell, the more something seemed wrong, and finally he looked at Ye Jie for help. "Could it be that this palm-sized turtle shell is actually a shield, capable of withstanding all incoming attacks?"

Ye Jie was helpless: "What shield? This turtle shell is full of cracks and looks ancient. It can be completely shattered with even a little force, let alone being used to withstand attacks."

Nan Linghe pouted and said in confusion: "Then, what is the use of this turtle shell?"

"If I read it correctly, this turtle shell is actually a magic weapon used for divination. If it is placed in the hands of someone who knows this way, it can have different effects. But if we hold it, it will be the same as ordinary turtles. The shell is no different, and it breaks when touched..."

Ye Jie was quite helpless. Among the ghosts he knew, Xie Xinyu seemed to be the only one who knew how to spy on the secrets of heaven through divination.

Putting the spirit descending talisman and the tortoise shell into his arms, Ye Jie thought for a while and said: "Anyway, you guys should take a stroll in this talisman tower first to see if there are any suitable books to buy. I'll go find Gui Chahu and the others to take a look. How is the intelligence gathering going?"

After saying goodbye, whether it was Nan Linghe or Hua Xiaomei, their eyes looking at Ye Jie were full of reluctance.

The few people acted separately. Hua Xiaomei led Nan Linghe around the Talisman Tower, while Ye Jie came outside the tower to look for traces of the other people. Wandering around, I came to an alley and heard a discordant voice:
"It's her! The reason why we failed to make the talisman was because the tide of spiritual power caused by her when making the talisman interfered with our movements!"

"I heard that she is a ghost sent by Guangwang Palace. The master of Guangwang Palace went against the grain and harmed the loyal and good. The ghosts in the palace are greedy for profit and bring disaster to one party. She is the biggest disaster in Nanzhan Continent. It can be said that it is intolerable..."

"If she wins the talisman-making competition and gets the favor of the talisman-making master, maybe we are not that good. But now we see that she is just a loser. Let's go and laugh at her and let her understand the nature of the world. Who has the final say in Xuan Palace!"

Following the news, Ye Jie also saw several ghosts from Tianxuan Palace. They were all losers in previous small competitions. They looked indignant and gritted their teeth at Xie Xinyu in the alley.

Xie Xinyu was shocked. She wanted to find a quiet place to relax and express the depression caused by failure. Unexpectedly, she was blocked by someone. She said with a serious face: "Do you know who I am? I am a member of the Xie clan. , if you dare to offend me, the head of the Xie family will not let you go!"

After hearing her gritted threats, everyone laughed:
"Head of the Xie family? This is ridiculous. Can the head of the Xie family help you make a talisman?"

"What's there to be so proud about? Aren't you just like us, you can only leave the field in despair. Do you really think you are so great?"

"The ghost servants of Guangwang Palace are indeed a bunch of bullies and fearful of the strong. Maybe you are used to being domineering in Guangwang Palace, but in Tianxuan Palace, we will not tolerate you! You'd better go back to your Guangwang Palace." Go to the royal palace!"

Under the ridicule of everyone, Xie Xinyu gritted her teeth and felt a sore nose. She had been used to being pampered and bossy since she was a child, so how had she ever been treated like this? Coupled with the shame and anger caused by the failure, the defense line in her heart completely collapsed, and she couldn't help turning her head to the side and reaching out to wipe away her tears.

"Look what I saw? A group of you are laughing at a young girl. Is this the way Tianxuan Palace treats guests? What's more, with your attainments in making talismans, it seems that you are not as good as her, right?"

Just when Xie Xinyu felt deeply helpless, the words that came to her ears immediately made her heart tremble. She opened her tearful eyes and saw Ye Jie walking slowly.

After hearing what Ye Jie said, everyone knew they were wrong, but they still said forcefully:
"Who are you? This is not where you should be."

"What does it have to do with you if we laugh at her?"

Some people also recognized Ye Jie's identity and reminded everyone: "He seems to be the winner of the competition just now..."

After hearing this, everyone began to look at Ye Jie differently, and heard Ye Jie say: "I am the best ghost servant in Guangwang Palace, symbolizing the glory of Guangwang Palace. If you offend me, you will offend Guangwang Palace." Palace Master Wang. Unless you plan to stay in Tianxuan Palace for the rest of your life, otherwise, there will no longer be a place for you in the entire Nanzhan Continent."

The illustrious and ferocious name of Lord Guangwang caused everyone to change their expressions upon hearing it. Thinking of all the terrifying legends about Lord Guangwang, the ghosts said nothing and did not dare to argue any more. They lowered their heads and dispersed in a crowd.

Soon, only Xie Xinyu and Ye Jie were left in the alley.

As Ye Jie came, Xie Xinyu gradually calmed down. She bit her lower lip. After a while, she reluctantly said: "I...I won't say thank you to you. I can get away with it on my own." Those annoying bastards..."

Ye Jie didn't care: "Speaking of which, why did you come to this alley alone?"

Seeing Ye Jie ask about this, Xie Xinyu lost his temper. It was obviously him and Nan Linghe who caused him to lose the competition. He could only come to this secluded place to vent his frustration, but he still said unkindly: "I just like it here, don't you?"

"Okay..." Ye Jie didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic, "Since you are familiar with Zhouyi divination, are you good at turtle back divination?"

"Turtle back divination? Are you looking down on me?" Xie Xinyu snorted, and as soon as she returned to her expertise, she showed a bit of arrogant confidence, "That is the simplest divination method, just change it to another Even beginner fortune tellers can perform turtle fortune telling."

As she spoke, she paused: "It's just that in addition to the diviner's personal attainments, turtle back divination also depends on the quality of the turtle back used for divination. Can a mortal black shell be the same as the shell of the mythical beast Xuanwu? ?If you don’t have a good shell, you might as well use copper coins for divination.”

Hearing this, Ye Jie nodded, took something out of his arms and said, "In that case, if I lend this to you, can you figure out the exact whereabouts of Qin Qiong in Tianxuan Palace?"

Following what Ye Jie pointed out, Xie Xinyu also saw the simple and mysterious tortoise's back, which was filled with layers of aura and somewhat mysterious patterns. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed.
