Chapter 63 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

  Mo Tianrui invited Li Mang to join the third group, which was something nobody had expected. This led to a stunned silence, with everyone staring in shock, and even Li Mang himself hadn't anticipated it, leaving him standing there in a daze.

  Join the third group? To be honest, Li Meng was really tempted. The ninth group and the third group were fundamentally incomparable, worlds apart. Joining the third group would not only raise his status and prestige, but he could also get higher-level cultivation resources and more advanced training methods.

  Three groups are heavenly groups. Joining the heavenly group is an opportunity that every Yan Huang member hopes to get. To say that one's heart is not moved would be too hypocritical.

  However, Li Meng had his own concerns. Unlike the loose organization of the nine groups, the Tian group was even more stringent internally. After all, it was a core part of the Yan Huang organization, and any disturbance would attract investigation. For Li Meng, who possessed the Shan Hai Jing, this might be a loss rather than a gain.

  Moreover, having been in the ninth group for some time, the concept of 'ninth group people' has taken root. It's just like suddenly getting a chance to move to America, and subconsciously there will be resistance because we are all Chinese, with similar reasoning.

  "He dares to leave the Ninth Squad, I'll be the first to take him down!" The cold expression on Cheng Wei's face outside showed that he had a strong sense of belonging to the Ninth Squad and also had high expectations for Li Mang.

  "Water flows to low places, people go to high places, this is inevitable." Yang Fan shook his head and sighed, but his eyes were hard to understand. At first, he brought Li Mang into the Yan Huang Academy just because he appreciated Li Mang's character, who would have thought that in this short period of more than half a year, Li Mang's fate would undergo such a huge reversal, first becoming an ability user, which was already rare, and then making rapid progress, now even getting the entrance ticket to join the Tian group.

  What is the Heavenly Group? Yang Fan knew it all too well, because he had once been a member of the Heavenly Group. Unfortunately, his potential had reached its limit, leading to him being abandoned by the Heavenly Group. If not for his cleverness and being 'promoted' as the administrator of the Ninth Group, he would now be just an ordinary member of the Earthly Group. But as others said, the Ninth Group was nothing, and his identity as the Ninth Group's administrator wasn't even comparable to that of a minor member of the Heavenly Group.

  "Hmph!" Cheng Wei coldly snorted, but had nothing to say.

  "Wait!"

  At this time, a shout came from outside, and several people wearing disciplinary uniforms quickly walked into the crowd. They first smiled politely at Li Mang, which made him really bewildered.

  "What do you mean by this!" Mu Tianrui asked coldly, feeling his dignity being provoked. He dared to use such a tone even in front of the disciplinary committee, which was admirable.

  "Mu Lao doesn't know, Li Meng has just officially become a member of Yan Huang not long ago, and joining the Tian group requires at least two years of experience, so he can't join the San group for now." The Discipline team's person explained slowly, in a gentle tone.

  “……” Mu Tianrui was taken aback, only then remembering that the Heavenly Group wasn't something you could easily join. The two-year probationary period was the most basic requirement, and no one was allowed to change it. Li Mang had just joined Yan Huang, so he naturally didn't know this. Before this, he hadn't even seen Li Mang, let alone remembered him as a person.

  "Hiss......" The surrounding area was filled with hissing sounds, some people were regretful and disappointed for Li Mang, but there were also those who secretly rejoiced and gloated over his misfortune. Human nature is like this, even superpowered individuals are human too.

  Li Mang, who was still hesitant about joining the third group, was also stunned by the words. He didn't know that joining the Tian group had such a rule. But it's good this way, no need to worry about making a choice, he said calmly: "In that case, let's talk about this later, maybe my potential has already reached its limit!"

  "Don't belittle yourself, young man. I have high hopes for you. Wait until your two-year term is up, and if the conditions are right, I'll definitely be your guarantor!" Mu Tianrui comforted him a few words before leaving with his own people.

  "Hmph, we're leaving too!" Pan Zhengcheng glared at Li Mao with a fierce gaze, but didn't dare to cause more trouble. He led his followers away with their tails between their legs. As for the apology he owed Li Mao, he never even considered it and had no intention of apologizing to him - this face was one he couldn't afford to lose.

  Li Meng disdainfully curled his lip, but he was just a child being used by others. If he were to be petty and calculating, he would only end up losing out in the end, which was completely unnecessary.

  As Mu Tianhua and others left, the onlookers also dispersed in a hurry, but from time to time, there were discussions about Li Mang. For Li Mang, today was already a great show of his abilities.

  "Li Meng, I'm sorry, I've gotten you into trouble again!" The little kid lowered his head, looking wronged and his eyes reddening.

  "Haha, I'm not in trouble, am I?" Li Meng touched the little kid's head, and instead of being angry, he was even more moved by his 'loyalty'. The little kid found out that someone was bullying him and rushed over immediately, although he had good intentions but ended up making things worse, this sentiment was genuine.

  "I don't know if it's like that, someone said you got hit and I came running, am I very stupid?" The little kid still felt guilty.

  Li Mang's eyes narrowed and he stroked his forehead, asking intentionally or unintentionally: "Who went to inform you?"

  "I don't know, he's a person as old as you." The little kid answered honestly.

  "That's all right, let's have breakfast!" Li Meng didn't ask any more questions, but his heart was not calm. Today's series of events made him smell a conspiracy.

  First, Pan Zhengcheng led people to find trouble, then someone inexplicably shouted "The third group of people were beaten", and at the same time, someone informed Xiao Pixia.

  Pan Zhengcheng finding fault is the main reason, and the person who shouted "three groups" was beaten to frame him. Notifying Xiao Pihai about this trick is the key move. Xiao Pihai's brain doesn't work well, and he has a good relationship with Li Meng, so when he hears that Li Meng is being bullied, he rushes over in a hurry, using him to create chaos and provoke a fight.

  The hand behind the scenes has been controlling the development of things all along, until Li Meng showed strength beyond Pan Zhengcheng, prompting this conspiracy to lose control.

  This incident is neither big nor small. Assuming Li Meng's strength was not as good as Pan Zhengcheng, he should be lying in the Ghost Doctor's courtyard by now, rather than being so brilliant at present.

  Who carefully planned this conspiracy, Pan Zhengcheng? That guy hasn't even been weaned off yet, obviously a gun used by others, Li Mang can rule out his suspicion.

  Ding Tianhua is suspicious. Firstly, Pan Zhengcheng was instigated by him to cause trouble, and Ding Tianhua is a narrow-minded person who bears grudges. On the same day, in Gui Yi's other courtyard, he had already been hated by Ding Tianhua. However, Ding Tianhua only has some petty tricks up his sleeve, and it's impossible for him to set up such a big scheme on his own unless someone is helping him from behind the scenes.

  But if someone was helping him from behind, it would be impossible to arrange for him to be present at the scene. Once things started to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Ding Tianhua would also accept punishment. In general, Ding Tianhua's suspicion is not very big, excluding these two people, the scope of consideration has become much smaller, Li Mang muttered to himself: "Group 8, Liu Junchi!"

  It's unlikely that there are eight groups, and Cai Guessed didn't dare to play such tricks in the Yanhuang Academy, so the last suspect is Liu Junchi.

  Liu Junchi and Li Meng's hatred is not worth mentioning, his own elder brother was killed by Li Meng, this is an irreconcilable hatred. In addition, Li Meng did not forget what Yang Fan said yesterday, Liu Junchi "has someone backing him", so Li Meng has reason to believe that Liu Junchi has the ability to carefully set up this trap within a trap.

  Li Meng, who was lost in thought, did not notice that a middle-aged man was approaching him.

  PS: One recommendation ticket per person, and the number of tickets is limited to 10,000. Is that okay?
