Xiao Ting was expelled from the world.
This was set by Cao Zhe early in the morning.
Only in this way can Xiao Ting penetrate into the evil spirit and learn more about the enemy.
It's risky, but that's war.
There is no war without risks.
Including Cao Zhe, he conspicuously exposed himself to many malicious eyes and also suffered a lot of invisible pressure.
Maybe in this world, or maybe in the next world, he will be deliberately targeted.
But these are necessary. When most people are in disarray and many people are not fully aware of the danger, now that Cao Zhe has reached this position, he must stand up firmly.
He can dodge.
Can be hidden.
You can hide in a small building and live your own life peacefully, enjoying your own narrow happiness.
But such a result will inevitably lead to all his "muddle-heading" becoming meaningless.
If everything familiar is destroyed, existing alone will be even more meaningless and painful.
No matter what... for many people in front of me, Demon Lord Xiao Ting was expelled, and the Master won again as always.
Cheers resounded through the sky, but Cao Zhe did not join in the laughter.
He went to Jinling City and found a tavern.
The streets outside are bustling, but the tavern located deep in the alley seems a bit old and declining.
This place seems to have always been prosperous, and the changes in dynasties and changes in world affairs have not added more obvious pain to this city.
Prosperity takes away many things.
Perhaps only when you look back a hundred years later and see so many people and things so clearly in your mind, will you be suddenly startled, and then your eyes will be filled with sadness.
Cao Zhe remembered that he came to Jinling City to buy rouge.
It's just that it's still early and the rouge shop is not open, so he has to wait.
He can mediate creation at will and transform any substance in the world, but he cannot accurately grasp the rouge a woman wants and its specific color number.
The sky was already slightly bright, and Cao Zhe knew that there were still people on Wudao Mountain waiting for him to return.
The rouge doesn't really matter.
But he wanted to have a drink here and give it to his comrades.
A pot of wine, two wine glasses, Cao Zhe clinked glasses in the air, just like Xiao Ting, sitting opposite him.
In that battle, Cao Zhe sensed Xiao Ting's transformation.
He was completely relieved of Xiao Ting's slight worry at this time, and the only thing left was concern for his safety.
"Boss! Add a pot of wine and the last stew, both meat and vegetables." A voice sounded, and the person sat next to Cao Zhe.
Cao Zhe knew who was coming without looking up.
At this time, the only person who would smell it was Zhang Bairen, the Emperor of Chu.
He seems weak and can be bullied, but he has already mastered the cultivation of "Farming Sutra" and has even entered the Dharma body with the image of the Emperor of Heaven. Now, like Gong Ruolin, he has also merged his soul and body and entered the realm of unity.
In this world, he is also the top.
In fact, in terms of combat power alone, as long as they find a suitable targeting method, Gong Ruolin and Zhang Bairen may not be weaker than Xiao Ting.
Gong Ruolin was deliberately suppressed by Cao Zhe, preventing her from fighting Xiao Ting.
And Zhang Bairen...he is a smart man.
Zhang Bairen took the warm wine from the boss and poured the dark wine into the cup.
Outside the dim tavern, the boss opened a large pot of stew, steaming out under the hazy night and faint light.
The heat is rising, and the spicy aroma of braised food is wafting... This is the world.
"My father was a three-time Best Actor, and my mother was a former singer. Everyone has had high expectations for me since I was a child, but similarly, all my achievements will be taken for granted."
"I started working as a child actor when I was five years old. I won my first Newcomer Award when I was six years old, and then I won the Newcomer Award for a total of seven years."
"When I was seventeen, I rebelled for the first time and participated in an idol audition behind my parents' back. I chose to be a popular idol that they looked down upon."
At this time, Cao Zhe already knew who Zhang Bairen's real identity was.
After all, there are not many people who meet these characteristics.
"At the age of twenty-four, I left the group to pursue a solo career and began to follow my father's old path."
"I used to be so self-righteous that I could fly higher and further on my own, but in the end I still had to borrow my father's connections to get really good resources and label myself a capable person."
"At the age of twenty-six, I finally won the first significant acting award in my life!" Zhang Bairen continued, and Cao Zhe just listened.
"When I say this, I just want to say... I have always pursued acting, and it has even run through my life. But he... I admire him! He is the best actor, and I am far behind. !" Zhang Bairen said.
With that said, Zhang Bairen toasted a glass of wine in the direction where Xiao Ting's wine glass was placed.
"It seems that what I did was a failure. You saw through it so easily." Cao Zhe said without any surprise.
Zhang Bairen shook his head: "No! This is just a guess for myself."
"If I didn't know how long ago you would foreshadow something in advance. And I was a personal beneficiary, I would never have thought so much."
"He's great, but... you never leave someone out of control for that long."
"Just as I know that our conversation must have been expected by you, and you have already made preparations to cover up any possibility of information leakage."
Cao Zhe just handed over the wine glass: "Drink!"
The two clinked their glasses and drank it down in one gulp.
Then there were no words at the same time.
In the midst of clinking glasses, the fifth settlement appeared.
Cao Zhe is undoubtedly the first in both categories.
Xiao Ting ranked second.
Zhang Bairen was third.
This is almost no 'surprise' result.
"First place in the overall competition... maybe this is a 'curse'!"
"It's like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, constantly spreading temptation and arousing people's desire to challenge, so they are blinded by it and do some unwise things." Zhang Bairen looked at the list and said.
Cao Zhe knew what Zhang Bairen meant and didn't give any response.
He just said: "The name I gave you is very unusual."
"There may be great opportunities, or there may be great dangers."
Zhang Bairen said: "I know! My last world was called 'Jinyiwei', and I was also from the Ming Dynasty, so I have heard of 'Zhang Sanfeng' and I also know who 'Zhang Bairen' is."
Cao Zhe was not surprised that Zhang Bairen noticed the metaphor in this.
But it was precisely because he could sense it and still had no hesitation that he seemed to have a tiger hidden in his chest, but he was just gentle on the surface.
"The first world is a habit, the second world is a slow unfolding, then the third world should be a violent evolution or practice."
"Remember to seize the opportunity."
"It's time for me to go! Hongyu is waiting for me to bring Rouge back to her." Cao Zhe stood up.
Zhang Bairen looked at the untouched braised pork on the table and asked the boss to pack it up.
"Don't carry it all yourself!"
"You have to believe that we can do it too!" Zhang Bairen said to Cao Zhe's back.
Cao Zhe smiled when he heard this: "Okay! If I have the chance, I won't be polite!"
