Amidst the exclamations, the crowd gradually realized what had happened, and their expressions turned strange. The earlier scene was a complete act by Xing Ye, pretending to be weak. If he had directly stated his intention, Elder Lin would have surely stopped him. But by taking a step back, claiming to register and casually revealing white spiritual lights from his package, he made everyone think he was simply ignorant of the rules and only wanted a regular registration. Little did they know, he aimed for the disciple's identity, and his goal was not a simple registration but to achieve the first place in the assessment. And he succeeded!
Looking back now, the seemingly casual display of white spiritual lights was obviously intentional. In front of everyone, he dug a pit for Elder Lin, and the old man willingly jumped into it.
