Jiang Ke'er carried Gan Ruanruan and walked towards the inn.
On the way, he met the strong man who had previously argued with Gan Ruanruan.
Jiang Keer ran up and kicked the other person viciously.
"?" The big man was puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"
"Who told you to say that Zhang Datu's singing is not good!"
Jiang Keer kicked and ran away, leaving behind these words.
The big man was so angry that he was shaking. In the end, he could only look up to the sky and roar: "Zhang Datu, I will never let you go!"
Jiang Ke'er ran back to the inn and threw Gan Ruanruan on the bed.
Fortunately, even if the monk drank too much, he would not vomit or suffer such an embarrassing situation, so Jiang Ke'er just threw Gan Ruanruan on the bed and didn't need to worry about him.
Leaving Gan Ruanruan alone in the inn, Jiang Keer ran to the tavern and ordered a glass of strong liquor.
I just licked it with the tip of my tongue and it was so spicy that I started crying. It seems that getting drunk and pretending to be deep is not suitable for me.
He pushed the wine glass aside, but it was picked up by a thin, bony hand, raised to the mouth, and swallowed in one gulp.
"Don't waste it, it's quite expensive."
The visitor smiled and sat opposite Jiang Keer.
She is not young anymore, and there are some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her charm is still there.
The rose-red nail polish had faded slightly. She was holding a brown-yellow patent-leather notebook in her arms. She gently placed the notebook on the table and looked at Jiang Keer with a smile.
Jiang Ke'er had been paying attention to her for a long time, just like when Jiang Ke'er was chatting with Gan Ruanruan before, she had been stealing glances at Gan Ruanruan and Jiang Ke'er.
The woman's eyes were full of curiosity. She said, "I have been observing Gan Ruanruan for a few months. This is the first time someone has accompanied her to the tavern. Others have been trying to avoid her."
"That's because they have no vision." Jiang Ke'er said calmly, "Ruanruan is a good girl who stands up for justice."
"Indeed," the woman nodded, seeming to know Gan Ruanruan very well.
"Why did you follow her?" Jiang Ke'er felt a little wary. "You took her kidney?"
"No, that was done by a few herbal medicine dealers."
The woman took out a name card and handed it to Jiang Ke'er: "My name is Si Lian, I'm a team coach, and I'm looking for outstanding monsters who want to participate in the Shenzhou Cup."
Without waiting for Jiang Ke'er to answer, the black bear demon at the next table saw Si Lian handing over the business card, and immediately walked over and tore up the business card from Si Lian's hand.
"Si Lian, I warned you, stop persecuting your compatriots. The demon race doesn't need to participate in that damn Shenzhou Cup!"
Si Lian felt somewhat powerless, but still said, "I didn't harm them. I won't and don't have the ability to force my compatriots to join my team... I just think that the demon race needs to prove ourselves, to prove that our original talents have unique meaning and value, just like Jiang Ke'er."
"We don't have to prove anything!"
"Don't you need it? Then why are you so excited and ecstatic about Jiang Ke'er's appearance? Why did you celebrate until you got drunk and were sent to the hospital?"
"..."
"You and I both understand the value of confidence," Si Lian clutched the notebook tightly, "I have seen young children feel ashamed of their tails and cut them off with sharp stones. They also tried to cut off their ears just to make themselves look more like a human... Why? Why do you think this is?"
"I know, but you've killed enough of your compatriots," the bear demon said with a painful expression, "Don't kill more. They are all geniuses of our demon race, our future."
“I’m sorry,” Si Lian said in a hoarse voice, “I will kill more people until the demon race lifts the Shenzhou Cup in front of the whole world. You can say I’m crazy, you can hate me... but I think the demon race has more potential than that. In small-scale elite battles, we should be invincible and should rule everything!”
"No, I can't let you stay here and seduce the newcomers to die." The bear demon suddenly made a move and clamped Si Lian's shoulder, "I'm sorry, but I have to take you out..."
"How many?" Jiang Ke'er suddenly asked.
The bear demon's face froze: "Hey! Little girl, don't be bewitched by her!"
"Two!" Si Lian replied hastily, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Although there are only two now, I will gather the team members as soon as possible!"
"Don't listen to her! She has only killed five people!" The bear demon's eyes were red. "She has been killing newcomers in batches, and now she wants to kill you! She is a crazy woman!"

"I'll consider it." Jiang Ke'er said.
Hearing Jiang Keer's reply, Si Lian couldn't help but look gloomy.
Many people told her that they needed time to think about it, but after thinking about it, they never contacted her again... Thinking about it basically means there is no hope.
Because this is an extremely absurd choice. If you calm down and think rationally, everyone knows that participating in the competition is just jumping into the fire.
Some choices must rely on the impulse of a moment.
"You really need to think about it seriously," the bear demon was immediately relieved. He was afraid that Jiang Ke'er would be bewitched by Si Lian's words of racial honor and would agree in a rush.
Young demons are easily carried away. Once Si Lian talks about the safety of their race, 80% of the young demons cannot resist the temptation of becoming heroes.
"How many teams have you led?" Jiang Ke'er asked Si Lian.
Si Lian hesitated for a moment, but facing Jiang Ke'er's firm, inquiring gaze, she could only sigh and confessed, "The fifteenth session."
"The results of it?"
"The best result so far is to make it out of the city competition and enter the semi-finals..."
"...but they were completely wiped out. They were all killed in the first rematch!" The bear demon man mercilessly exposed her shortcomings. "So far, she has killed 51 elite demons. Those who luckily survived the arena were severely injured both physically and mentally!"
Si Lian clenched the wine glass so tightly that it rattled.
"Yes, he is right." Si Lian had closed her eyes and gave up resisting.
After hearing this, she knew that no one would be willing to join her team.
"Then why do you continue?" Jiang Keer asked.
"I'm not convinced."
"Just because you are unwilling to accept it, you don't mind killing so many young elites of the demon race?"
"I don't want to hurt them," Si Lian's eyes were like a pool of dead water, "but I will continue."
Jiang Ke'er carefully examined Si Lian's expression.
It was a face without any vitality. She was not young anymore and had long lost the passion and impulse of her youth. All that was left was a numb struggle.
Si Lian stood up. She knew that Jiang Ke'er would not be one of those young people who would be proud of dying bravely. She was too calm and had her own value judgment, not like a child.
Her target is those naive young men who fall into heroic fantasies after hearing a few random words.
She needs to resort to deception to get those young men to voluntarily walk into the meat grinder.
"One last question," Jiang Ke'er called Si Lian.
"Ok?"
"Are you here to find Gan Ruanruan to persuade her to join the team?"
"No, I just came to see her," Si Lian shook her head, "I won't hurt her again."
Si Lian walked out of the tavern and sprained her ankle when she stepped out of the door.
Her alcohol tolerance was not as bad as Gan Ruanruan's, she was just dazed.
Limping back to his dark and secluded little room, Si Lian took out badges from his pocket with the help of the residual light from the gap in the curtains and wiped them gently.
Every time she wiped one, she would whisper to herself.
"Xiaoli, we are almost winning..."
"Ashan, you did a great job..."
"Xiang'er, believe me..."
Jiang Keer returned to the inn.
Gan Ruanruan woke up, but the drunkenness had not completely dissipated.
Her face was flushed, and she unconsciously put her arm on Jiang Ke'er's shoulders and teased, "Little sister, why are you so cute? Do you want to go fight with me...hiccup...hehehe?"
Jiang Keer knew that the fight this guy was talking about was a real fight, without any ambiguity.
But he still kindly advised: "Don't say such things in the future. If someone hears you, you may not survive the night."
"Who is afraid of who..."
Gan Ruanruan mumbled a few more words, then fell on the bed with a thud, snoring in an unpresentable manner.
Jiang Ke'er shook her head, sat on the edge of the bed, closed her eyes, and meditated quietly.
She needed to think carefully about Si Lian's matter. It was true that she needed a team and a team coach, but not the kind of coach who had led the 15th team to its death.
Putting aside personal feelings, Si Lian's team is a big pit no matter how you look at it.
*******
Early the next morning, before Gan Ruanruan woke up, she went to the pub again.
She immediately saw Si Lian, who was wearing a cheongsam formal dress. She seemed no longer as sentimental as she was yesterday, and looked sharp and capable.
Sitting opposite Si Lian was a young man with a hideous scar on his right eye and the wolf ears on his head were dirty and a little greasy.
"That's right! I've long felt that the demon race should have a team of their own!" The man slammed the table in indignation and drank the beer in the big cup. "Today I finally met a fellow traveler! Sister Si Lian, don't be afraid! With me here, I'll bring back a big trophy to use as a chamber pot this year!"
"..."
It seems that Si Lian chose the right target this time, and it was too right.
Si Lian smiled and wanted to say something, but she couldn't find any chance to respond. She kept looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, and her face turned red from holding it in.
"Hey, let me tell you, Sister Si Lian, you really have a keen eye for talent and found the right person! I heard that Jiang Ke'er doesn't exist? She was my cook back then! Hiccup——"
Jie Shui let out a smelly burp, and was so excited that he put his feet on the table. He continued to speak loudly like a machine gun, "What Shenling team, what Zhanhuang team, they are so popular, that's because I didn't participate in the competition! When they meet me in the finals this year, they won't be able to make it through even one round!"
Si Lian's face turned green, and she was increasingly regretting inviting Jie Shui.
To be precise, she hadn't invited him yet. She had just chatted with Jie Shui for a few minutes when Jie Shui came over to her.
Over the past decade, she has seen all kinds of guys, but this is the first one who took the initiative to give it to her.
"Stop talking. When are we going to go on stage? Give me a date!" Jie Shui slammed the table.
"Boom-"
He knocked on the table twice, but heard three muffled sounds. He touched the back of his head in confusion, but he only felt a large swelling that was bleeding.
He turned around and saw Jiang Ke'er holding a bloody wine bottle.
Jie Shui shuddered.
"Ah! I fainted!"
Jie Shui screamed, covered his head and crawled under the table.
"I'm sorry, I've thought about it." Jiang Ke'er looked at Si Lian.
Si Lian nodded and smiled, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I understand. My request is indeed too difficult for you."
Jiang Keer nodded: "There are always some conceited guys in this world who want to do something big. But these guys always overestimate their own strength, and even bring innocent people around them into the abyss. In the end, they can only move themselves with unattainable ideals and irreparable mistakes... They are unforgivable!"
Si Lian lowered her head. She had heard this kind of criticism too many times and she didn't know how to defend herself...but this was the first time she was criticized by a child.
"Only those who are ignorant of the ways of the world, overconfident in their own talents, and overly eager to show off will choose to believe you, join your team, and risk their lives for the beautiful lies you have woven." Jiang Ke'er said, pulling out a bottle of water from under the table, filling it with water on his head, and said, "For example, this kind of idiot..."
Si Lian gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Jiang Keer poked her nose again: "And me."
Si Lian looked up in surprise.
"I've thought about it for a long time," Jiang Ke'er looked into Si Lian's eyes and smiled helplessly, "In the end, I found that I'm not much smarter than them."

If possible, Jiang Keer would naturally want to find a high-quality team to quickly gain points, firstly to earn enough food for Egg Yolk, and secondly to fulfill her own small wish of entering the Shenzhou Cup.
Moreover, she felt that her strength was not yet invincible. If the Taoist seat of Jiexian Palace was besieged and the organizers made some small troubles, she might fall on some bronze arena.
As a weak person, you have to be more cautious.
