Chapter 124

After the three left, Zhang Wang finally vented the anger he had been forcibly suppressing:

"Good, Tang Tang Miaoxing! I knew you old thing had no good intentions!"

"On the surface, you let Tang Ming ask the disciples' opinions, but secretly recalled the Tang Zhong disciples to secure cooperation with the Nether Pavilion first. You love the distinction between inner and outer sects so much that you fight and snatch even over this?!"

Tang Tang Miaoxing ignored Zhang Wang, merely glancing at the inner sect disciples beside him and saying, "All of you, get out."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The inner sect disciples all bowed to the two elders, then turned and left.

After the door to the principal's office closed again, Tang Tang Miaoxing finally spoke: "Junior brother."

"Do you think only you worry about the safety of the disciples under your care?"

"I do too. That is why I recalled the inner sect disciples of Tang Zhong and had them cooperate with the Nether Pavilion."

"This is not only to temper them, but also because they are the most suitable candidates!"

"To inherit the Dan Shi, these inner sect disciples have long been prepared to die and have their Dao extinguished. Even if they die far from home in the future, they will not have the slightest complaint..."

"Bullshit!" Zhang Wang roared. "Whether inner or outer sect, they are all good children of our Tang Sect and should be treated equally. You only let the inner sect disciples take this risk; what will the outer sect disciples think?"

"What era is this, still clinging to such old-fashioned notions..."

"I don't care. The outer sect must participate as well; otherwise, the Tang Sect risks splitting!"

Tang Tang Miaoxing frowned and said, "Pavilion Master He has already accepted these candidates..."

Zhang Wang said without hesitation, "Then take the next batch!"

While the two argued, in the corridor downstairs, He Jing was quietly watching the show using the live-stream function.

This was a feature they discovered during several live streams: the camera could move freely within a certain range, seeing any scene within a twenty-meter radius regardless of obstacles like walls.

Watching Zhang Wang and Tang Tang Miaoxing arguing in the image, the group members watched with great interest.

【Xiang Yunye: I feel like Old He coming over this time has actually intensified the conflict between the inner and outer sects...】

【Fan Xian: No destruction, no construction. This is also a good thing for the Tang Sect.】

He Jing smiled lightly: "I actually hope they reach a consensus quickly. Relying only on the inner sect disciples is truly a pity; I am quite interested in the few outer sect disciples who appeared in the comic!"

【Su Su Haoming: Like Tao Tao?】

【Su Su Haoming: I remember she was a genius; in the original work, even the Three Corpses could not harm her.】

He Jing recalled the curly-haired girl whose emotions showed little fluctuation and shook his head regretfully: "Tao Tao is indeed good material, but unfortunately she does not quite meet the Nether Pavilion's requirements and is unlikely to become an excellent assassin..."

While chatting with the group members in the live stream, He Jing returned to the room prepared for him by the Tang Sect.

According to the plan, he would stay at the Tang Sect for the next two days, waiting for the Nether Pavilion to send someone to take over.

As for the content of the upcoming live stream, there would be little role for He Jing himself.

After a brief argument, Tang Tang Miaoxing reached a consensus with Zhang Wang on the condition of Xu Xin, deciding to let the Tang Zhong disciples test the waters first, then replace them with other disciples.

Thanks to He Jing and Tang Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Zhang Chulan was finally able to meet Xu Xin and ask him many things about the past.

Throughout the entire process, He Jing broadcast it all via the camera, but he did not appear himself, merely watching and observing from the shadows.

Soon, the matter of the Tang Sect came to an end, and He Jing's first live stream finally concluded successfully.

Since then, all four group members had tried the live stream function, except for Lin Yu, who had not activated it.

The group members all thought Lin Dage looked down on those few points, but in reality, he simply had no way to live stream.

Because what merged with the chat group was not the body the group members had seen, but his original consciousness.

And his original consciousness existed within the entire universe inside his body; if he really activated the live stream, the group members would see a nascent universe constantly evolving at hundreds of millions of times the normal speed.

Such a live stream would not only be boring in content but also carry the possibility of exposing his true identity.

Considering this, Lin Yu could only regretfully give up on this function.

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

At this moment, nine days had passed since the chat group upgraded.

The progress of inviting new members was finally complete, and a new announcement popped up in the chat group:

【New group members 'Li Li Shimin' and 'Lin Lie' have joined the chat. Come chat happily together!】

【Everyone: Welcome, welcome!】

【Su Su Haoming: Why did two people join all at once this time?】

【Fan Xian: Is that the point? The point should be the new recruits' names!】

Looking at that familiar name in the chat, Xiang Yunye, who was attending court, found his expression becoming extremely strange.

He could not help but raise his head and look at the man of the same name on the dragon throne; seeing that his expression remained normal with nothing unusual, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems it is just a namesake, not the same person...

According to the chat group's custom, they surely would not select two people from the same world to join the group, right?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yunye shifted his attention back to the chat.

Just then, the two new recruits had recovered from their shock and sent their first messages in the group.

【Lin Lie: Chat... chat group?!】

【Lin Lie: Is it the kind that can top up Q coins?】

【Li Li Shimin: What are 'coins'?】

【Li Li Shimin: What is this object?】

【Li Li Shimin: Why does it appear in My mind?】

In the Three Kingdoms world, Li Li Shimin, wearing a dragon robe, sat in the study, his brows tightly furrowed, unable to hide his shock.

Seeing this scene, the red-faced youth in armor in the study could not help but look worried and called out cautiously:

"Your Majesty?"

"..."

Li Li Shimin came to, his brows relaxing, and smiled at the ruddy-faced youth: "I am fine; I merely stayed up late talking by candlelight with my Prime Father last night, so my sleep was slightly insufficient. An Guo, there is no need to worry!"

Without a doubt, this ruddy-faced youth was Guan Yu's son, Guan Xing, Guan An Guo!

After Guan Yu's death, he inherited the title of Marquis of Hanshou Ting; now, serving as Attendant and Central Supervising General beside the Emperor, he not only accompanies the Emperor in and out of the palace but also oversees the training of the Emperor's personally established cavalry guard.

The reason Li Li Shimin kept Guan Xing by his side was not only because Guan Xing truly possessed the talent to command cavalry, but also because he vaguely remembered that this important general of the late Shu Han would die young before long.

To avert this future, he showed Guan Xing nothing but utmost care.

He not only arranged for imperial physicians to examine him morning and evening but also bestowed numerous precious herbs.

Such favor caused even Guan Xing's close brother, Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao, to feel a touch of jealousy.

Facing such favor, Guan Xing was naturally filled with gratitude and increased loyalty.

Hearing Li Li Shimin's words, he showed concern, bowed solemnly, and said: "State affairs are indeed important, but Your Majesty's imperial body is the very foundation of our Great Han dynasty!"

"I understand."

Li Li Shimin smiled: "Go stand guard outside the door; I wish to rest for a while first."

Once Guan Xing departed, Li Li Shimin finally shifted his attention to the chat window in his mind.

This thing was extremely miraculous, capable of transforming his thoughts into text and sending them to those so-called group members.

Only, these characters were not the regular script or clerical script he was familiar with, but another, even more simplified method of writing.

"Although this script has lost some of the aesthetic beauty of calligraphy, its strokes are fewer, making writing convenient; perhaps it could replace clerical script, streamline current administrative affairs, and shorten the time spent handling state matters."

Li Li Shimin pondered thoughtfully while gazing at the messages sent by the group members.

【Fan Xian: Ho, judging by your tone, you really are Li Li Shimin!】

【Su Su Haoming: Haha!】

【Su Su Haoming: It's not 'Quan Bi', it's 'Q Bi'; this 'Q' is Western script, which you might not recognize.】

【Su Su Haoming: As for the thing appearing in your mind, it is the chat group @Lin Lie just mentioned.】

【Su Su Haoming: The term 'chat' did not exist in the Tang Dynasty; you can understand it as a place for dialogue and exchange.】

【Su Su Haoming: And the messages we send now are letters that can reach the other party instantly!】

【Lin Yu: Translate it for him: 'Voice Transmission Over a Thousand Li'.】

【Li Li Shimin: So that is how it is!】

【Su Su Haoming:...】

【Li Li Shimin: Is the technique of 'Voice Transmission Over a Thousand Li' not a method of immortals?】

【Fan Xian: Understanding it that way is not entirely wrong.】

【Li Li Shimin: Then is this treasure of 'Voice Transmission Over a Thousand Li' also an opportunity left by immortals?】

I have obtained an immortal opportunity?!

Li Li Shimin's heart surged with excitement, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

【Fan Xian: That depends on what kind of image of 'immortals' you have in mind!】

【Li Li Shimin: Thunder and lightning, riding the wind through the void, eternal life, free and unfettered.】

【Fan Xian: Then your requirements are indeed a bit low.】

【Fan Xian: As for these techniques, let alone the strongest Lin Dage, even we are not incapable of achieving them.】

What?!

Does this mean everyone in the group are immortals?

Li Li Shimin was shocked in his heart; before he could react, the group members continued:

【Su Su Haoming: All knowledge in the group is shared.】

【Su Su Haoming: If you are truly interested, you can study the group files.】

【Li Li Shimin: What are 'group files'?】

【Everyone:...】

【Fan Xian: It seems this fellow is indeed an ancient person.】

【Fan Xian: Asking him to study it himself is a bit too difficult; let us teach him instead.】

【Fan Xian: @Lin Lie, sorry, Lin Brother, your question might have to wait...】

【Lin Lie: No problem; I am studying it too~】

After replying to the message, Lin Lie immediately switched the interface to 【Group Files】; gazing at the knowledge from different systems in the list, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of joy and excitement.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect...

After transmigrating to the Marvel World, besides the system, he could actually encounter a second golden finger!
