With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Not long after Azhen entered meditation, a servant disciple came to the outside of the room.

When Ling Fang, who was guarding the entrance, saw the newcomer, her usually stern face couldn't help but soften with politeness. This handyman disciple was also from Sword Peak, specifically serving Sword Peak Master Ji Wujiu. Even out of respect for the powerful figure, someone serving tea and water to a strongman should be treated with utmost courtesy.

And since Ji Wujiu is His Highness's master, she can't afford to offend him.

The people around Peak Master Ji came over, probably because they heard about the contest between His Highness and Wen Nanfeng.

"I wonder what brings Senior Brother Tingxuan here? His Highness is injured and is recovering." Ling Fang spoke first, very politely.

Tingxuan smiled and said, "The Peak Master heard about Junior Sister Yun's duel with Senior Brother Wen and asked me to come and invite her over. Since Junior Sister Yun is still healing, I'll wait a bit. She should be alright, right?"

"I did suffer some injuries, not particularly serious, but it won't be healed in a short time. I heard that Senior Brother Xuan is a very busy person, so there's no need to wait here. I'll tell Her Highness when she comes out," Ling Fang said. It probably wasn't anything urgent; it was just that two disciples had suddenly started fighting, and as their master, she wanted to find out what was going on.

There are also the sword techniques that Her Highness herself comprehended. She is naturally talented, so it's only right that her master, Ji Wujiu, cares about them.

Tingxuan smiled and nodded: "Alright, then I'll trouble Junior Sister Ling to pass on the message."

Then Tingxuan took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Lingfang: "These are healing pills that the Peak Master gave to Junior Sister Yun. Please help me pass them on, Junior Sister Ling."

Having finished his business, Tingxuan, not one to dawdle, turned and left.

It sounds like Junior Sister Yun's injuries aren't light; she probably won't recover for at least three to five days. Waiting here is pointless. If anything happens to the Peak Master, he'll have to handle it.

The entire sect is now discussing the new sword technique that Junior Sister Yun has mastered, marveling at her talent. It's said that the sword technique is incredibly powerful, and even the peak masters and elders are talking about it with great interest. Those who witnessed it are still savoring the moment, repeatedly saying that Junior Sister Yun truly deserves to be called a sword cultivation genius, while those who didn't see it feel a little regretful.

However, it seems that the sword move was too powerful, exceeding the limits of Yun Shimei's physical body. Even though she won, she was still seriously injured.

The peak master inquired about this matter for two reasons. First, he wanted to see for himself how well Junior Sister Yun had grasped the sword techniques, and as her master, he would naturally help check for any flaws. Second, the sudden competition between the two disciples might indicate some kind of conflict, and as their master, he certainly couldn't turn a blind eye.

The peak master was completely absorbed in the way of the sword, but he still paid close attention to his two exceptionally talented disciples.

Aside from that, he doesn't have much patience for other things.

In fact, as a menial disciple and someone close to the peak master, he knew quite a lot. For example, the conflict between Junior Sister Yun and Senior Brother Wen was probably related to Lin Ya.

Everyone in the sect knew that Senior Brother Wen took great care of Lin Ya, exceeding what one would show to a fellow disciple; he even frequently competed with Yun Xuan. Between Junior Sister Yun and Lin Ya, Senior Brother Wen always unconsciously sided with Lin Ya. Before Lin Ya joined the sect, she had never seen Senior Brother Wen act this way.

Junior Sister Yun was somewhat aloof by nature. Apart from being close to Ling Fang, who came to the sect with her, she didn't get too close to any of her fellow disciples. She generally ignored Senior Brother Wen's past behavior and didn't care about the gossip among her fellow disciples.

In his view, this was a person who was focused on cultivating immortality. Perhaps it was because he had been defeated by Lin Ya many times that he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it, so he was unwilling to waste his time on trivial matters. He thought it would be better to cultivate well and strive to defeat Lin Ya in the future.

Junior Sister Yun didn't hold grudges, so she naturally wouldn't cause a scene. However, this time, Senior Brother Wen's words in the arena truly displeased Junior Sister Yun. Even a clay figure has some temper, and Junior Sister Yun is a living, breathing person, so she chose to retaliate this time.

To everyone's surprise, she actually defeated Senior Brother Wen, who was two minor realms higher, using a new sword technique. This truly shocked many people, including him. When the Peak Master heard this news, he was naturally drawn to it.

However, even if he knew so much, he couldn't freely express his opinions in front of the peak master.

A powerful figure like the Peak Master can easily find out anything he wants to know, and he has his own way of handling things. It's not his place as a menial disciple to interfere; he just needs to do his job.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sect competition has ended, and the rankings of the battles between each major realm have been released.

As expected, Lin Ya was ranked first in the Golden Core stage, while Wen Nanfeng was ranked second.

At this moment, the two were still on the dueling platform, both smiling, showing none of the anger they had displayed when they fought against Azhen that day.

"As expected, it's impossible to defeat Junior Sister Lin by crossing a realm." Wen Nanfeng smiled, and at the same time, he glanced at Yun Xuan, who was standing below the stage with a not-so-good expression. "However, getting second place in the Golden Core stage is not bad."

After all, some people can only rank third.

Junior Sister Lin possesses extraordinary talent and cultivates rapidly. The sooner one tries to defeat her, the better; otherwise, it will become a pipe dream. Wen Nanfeng hadn't held out much hope to begin with, and he wasn't upset at all about losing to Lin Ya. After all, in his memory, Lin Ya was incredibly strong.

Beating Yun Xuan was a piece of cake for him.

Although Yun Xuan was in third place, he fought with ease, and his opponent was far inferior to him.

Yun Xuan was indeed not very happy, especially seeing Lin Ya and Wen Nanfeng chatting and laughing, and their fellow disciples around them discussing how well-matched the two were in terms of both appearance and strength, which made him even more unhappy.

Lin Ya was clearly from his Great Xia Kingdom, and had once been a palace maid of the Tenth Sister. They had also come to the Heavenly Pole Sect together, so they should have been more familiar with each other.

Who could have imagined that a palace maid with a mixed spiritual root, who was once so inconspicuous, would undergo such an astonishing transformation after arriving at the Heavenly Extreme Sect? On the surface, she has a mixed spiritual root, but in reality, her talent is even stronger than that of the Tenth Sister's mutated lightning spiritual root.

If he had known earlier, he should have caught Lin Ya's attention before even arriving at the Heavenly Pole Sect.

Now that Lin Ya is a disciple of the Heavenly Extreme Sect and her talent is valued by the sect, he can't beat her. If he wants to attract her attention, he can only use other methods. But there's always Wen Nanfeng blocking his way, which is really annoying.

Even without his father's reminder, becoming Lin Ya's Daoist partner would undoubtedly bring immense benefits. Even with his decent talent, he could never compare to Lin Ya. (End of Chapter)
