Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School Novel - Chapter 871

Chapter 871: I Still Have Money!

Jian Ai’s eyes lit up. There were many other abilities?

Could this Chi Yang be the legendary treasure boy?

Looking at Bai Zhou beside him, Jian Ai instantly felt disappointed.

“Bai Zhou, Chi Yang is so powerful. Why isn’t he one of the twelve guards?” Jian Ai asked.

Jian Ai’s question had hit the nail on the head. It was something she had always wanted to ask. Why were there twelve guards? Was there a rule? Or was it purely based on strength?

If it was purely based on strength, Chi Yang’s power should be far above Bai Zhou’s.

After all, Bai Zhou could only sense and had no combat ability.

When Bai Zhou heard this, he slowly said, “The reason is straightforward. Because these twelve people are the first twelve guards of the ancient sect.”

“The preceding generation of twelve guards chooses their successors to whom they would pass their abilities.”

As he spoke, Bai Zhou looked at Si Yuehan and continued, “Take Si Yue, for example. The reason he’s ranked fifth among the twelve guards is because the first generation of the Shadow Asura was ranked fifth among the twelve guards. Xiao Zhen is ranked seventh, but his strength might not be inferior to Si Yue. It’s just that the first generation of the Doctor with the Ghost Hand was ranked seventh, so Xiao Zhen is ranked seventh. Although I don’t have any combat ability, the first generation of the prophet is still one of the twelve guards. Hence, I’m also one of the twelve guards.”

…

With Bai Zhou’s explanation, Jian Ai instantly understood.

From the second generation onwards, they based the rankings of the twelve guards on the orders of the first generation. It had nothing to do with strength.

With this thought in mind, Jian Ai asked, “In that case, Si Yue and the rest might not lose to Yu Wuyuan, who is ranked second?”

“Tsk…” Bai Zhou immediately laughed when he heard that. He looked at Jian Ai and shook his head with a smile. “Yu Wuyuan is an exception. That person is a monster!”

Jian Ai was stunned. Seeing this, Bai Zhou explained, “In modern times, the current twelve guards are of the 32nd batch, and they follow the ranking of the first twelve guards of the ancient sect according to their strength. However, those in the top three are all monsters; even their mental cultivation techniques and their will got continuously passed down for thousands of years. Hence, the top three guards are still monsters.”

…

“How do you know so much?” Jian Ai was a little surprised because even she, the Sect Master, didn’t know about these things.

Bai Zhou shrugged. “After I inherited the prophet’s will, this information was stuffed into my mind. I guess this is also a part of my ability. You can call me an encyclopedia.”

“Cough, cough…” Si Yuehan, who had been eating silently, couldn’t help but cough when he heard these words.

Chi Yang also pursed his lips and smiled.

Jian Ai was surprised. “I thought you had no other use after finding me, the Sect Master.”

After all, he had already found the twelve guards. She was the last to be found as the Sect Master.

When Bai Zhou heard this, he was very hurt. He held his chest and pretended to be sad. “How can the Sect Master say that about me? I still have money!”

Jian Ai: “…”

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Being rich is a very practical skill in today’s society.

Bai Zhou continued, “Moreover, the Sect Master can’t say I’m useless. When you were in danger back then, I was the one who used my abilities to find your location. The others would have been useless if not for me, right?”

As Bai Zhou spoke, he became excited. His eyes lit up, and his entire body shone.

Thinking about it, this made sense too.
