Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

[What is he chattering about? I really want to just blow his head off!] Chi Buwan cursed inwardly.

337: [We still need to think this through carefully. After all, this person is specifically tasked with testing the disciples' strength and is under the joint protection of the sects and immortal factions. If something happens to him, it will be difficult for the Lingxiao Sect to step in and resolve the situation.]

Not Too Late: [No wonder he's so arrogant. Once the registration period is over, I'll be the first to crush him.]

337: [That might require breaking into the Beast Taming Sect and killing him in front of his master. Oh, by the way, that master is at the Mahayana stage.]

Is it too late?

Chi Buwan looked at Zhang Yixing, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.

Zhang Yixing paused for a moment.

Yun Dan, the eldest disciple of Xue Jiang Peak, is extremely protective of his own. If he encounters anyone bullying a disciple of Xue Jiang Peak, he will never let it go.

A hint of ferocity flashed across Zhang Yixing's eyes.

He can't beat Yun Dan, but... he can prevent the disciples of Xuejiang Peak from participating in the sect conference!

When he looked up again, Zhang Yixing had already suppressed his emotions. He raised his hand, and spiritual energy flashed in his palm. The Spirit Control Treasure appeared before everyone's eyes. He then began to apologize insincerely: "The Beast Taming Sect and the Lingxiao Sect have always been on friendly terms. Today, my junior brother and I were wrong. We present this Spirit Control Treasure to Brother Yun as an apology."

Seeing that Zhang Yixing didn't dare to confront the person in front of him, Zhang Zuo instantly lost his arrogance, bent down to take the magic weapon from his palm, slowly walked to Chi Buwan, and bowed his head to offer the magic weapon with both hands.

"If our senior brother hadn't arrived in time, that spirit orb would have already struck our junior brother!" Another disciple, wearing a Lingxiao Sect jade pendant, stepped forward. "Our junior brother always remembers the teachings of the Jade Immortal Venerable and never quarrels with others without cause. Today, however, he almost lost his life because of his kindness. If the Jade Immortal Venerable finds out about this, he will definitely not forgive you!"

Not too late: .....

Why did you come along and join in the fun?

Xie Hanfeng cleared his throat: "Isn't this because I have nothing better to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yixing frowned slightly as he looked at the newcomer. He still couldn't discern the man's strength, and this man's cultivation was above his own.

He thought he was already a leader among his peers, but he didn't expect that the disciples of Lingxiao Sect were all exceptionally strong. Even the disciple behind them, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, had a strong and solid spiritual power. If they really had to fight, Zhang Zuo and Zhang You would definitely not be his match.

If given more time, he will surely surpass his cultivation level in the shortest possible time.

Zhang Yixing lowered his eyes, his eyelashes concealing the gloom that flashed across his eyes.

No wonder the elders told him to suppress the Lingxiao Sect before he left; now I understand.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. In recent years, the Lingxiao Sect has grown increasingly powerful. If it continues to be left unchecked, then in the future... no one will be able to control them!

But he wasn't stupid to have reached this position, and now was definitely not the time to be stubborn.

Zhang Yixing looked up at the two people in front of him and said, "It's my fault for not disciplining them properly. I will compensate for this uncle's stall. If this spirit-controlling magic treasure is not enough to compensate you, little brother, I have some treasures in my bag. Take whatever you like."

Having said that, he took out the pouch hanging from his waist and tossed it over.

Chi Buwan took it, opened the pouch, and glanced inside.

[Wow! These are all good stuff.] Xie Hanfeng saw them too and said, [It's like a pillow being handed to someone who's sleepy. The sect conference is about to begin. Xiao Wuli can just pick out a few treasures from there, and then we won't have to worry about the Beast Taming Sect!]

He paused for a moment, then locked the pouch.

Xie Hanfeng looked at his things in shock: "You're not letting him choose? They're all precious treasures."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yixing slightly raised his chin.

Fortunately, he was a discerning person. The treasures in his pouch were the culmination of a century of hard work, treasures he had searched far and wide for, and magical artifacts bestowed upon him by his master. Any one of them could make a Nascent Soul cultivator green with envy.

The reason he was so generous in tossing the pouch to Yun Dan was that he knew Yun Dan, a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, was upright and honest, and definitely not a greedy villain.

At most, this person will only choose one magic weapon that is most suitable for that disciple.

However, it seems Yun Dan is even more upright than he thought, as he didn't choose a single item...

The next second, he saw Yun Dan bend down and tie the entire pouch around Xiao Wuli's waist.

Zhang Yixing: ?

Zhang Yixing: ......

Chi Buwan patted the pouch on Xiao Wuli's waist with satisfaction, then suddenly remembered that he was currently in the 'Cloudless' state. So the smile in his eyes faded, and he turned into a cold and expressionless look. He said to Xiao Wuli, "Since Immortal Venerable Yixing is so polite, then you should thank him quickly."

Xie Hanfeng: ......

Xiao Wuli was stunned for a moment, then looked up into his eyes. Meeting those familiar gazes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he bowed, saying, "Yes."

After saying that, he leaned forward slightly, cupped his hands towards Zhang Yixing, and said, "Thank you, Immortal Venerable Yixing."

"Click—"

A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out in the silent air. Zhang Yixing's eyebrows curved, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He almost gritted his teeth as he said, "You're welcome."

"If there's nothing else, Brother Yun, I'll take my leave now." Zhang Yixing felt as if his heart was bleeding; if he didn't leave soon, he would do something foolish.

"Wait a moment." Chi Buwan said, trying to persuade him to stay.

Zhang Yixing took a deep breath and asked with suppressed emotion, "Is there anything else?"

Chi Buwan raised his hand and pointed at Li Lao Er, who was already stunned, and said, "You haven't paid this uncle for his stall yet."

Zhang Yixing's lips twitched, and he turned his head to glare at Zhang Zuo beside him.

Seeing this, Zhang Zuo took out a pouch from his chest. Learning from his previous experience, he did not hand the entire pouch to the other party, but carefully picked out a few spirit stones from it.

The next second, the pouch in his palm disappeared into thin air. He paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up ahead.

"Not bad." Xie Hanfeng followed suit, tossing the pouches into the air, weighing them in his hand, and then handing them all to Li Lao Er, saying, "Here! Uncle, this is the compensation they gave you for your stall. Don't be shy, just accept it."

Li Lao Er was flattered and repeatedly said, "This is too much..."

Xie Hanfeng: "Where are there too many? Keep them safe. If anyone harbors ill intentions towards them, just mention the name of the Lingxiao Sect."

Li Lao Er hurriedly accepted the gift, then subconsciously glanced at Zhang Zuo, only to be met with a pair of eyes full of hatred. He then nervously lowered his head again.

Chi Buwan glanced sideways at Zhang Zuo, who then lowered his head.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yixing gritted his teeth and turned to leave with the two people beside him.

After a while, cheers erupted from the vendors on both sides of the street.

Chi Buwan withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Wuli, saying, "Master taught us not to fight outside, but that doesn't mean you should just stand there dumbly and get beaten up."

Xiao Wuli lowered his head, his eyes slightly red, and said softly, "It's Senior Brother, I know I was wrong."

Chi Buwan saw the corner of his eye, paused, opened her mouth slightly, and after a while spoke: "Fine, you just wanted to do a good deed today."

Xiao Wuli took a light breath.

Not late: "Go ahead and do your work. I'll call you back to the peak later when I'm done."

Xiao Wuli nodded obediently.

Chi Buwan lifted his foot and left. Xie Hanfeng, who had been watching the show from the side, followed him after he left.

.

On the other side, two men wearing veils stood behind the crowd, quietly watching what was happening in the middle of the road.

"Senior Brother, someone is impersonating you, and also impersonating me."

Yun Dan's voice was calm: "Those are Master and Sect Leader."

The speaker paused for a moment, then said, "Huh?"

Yun Dan turned and walked towards the less crowded area. "Master doesn't like people watching. Whenever he encounters something while going down the mountain, he always appears in my identity."

The person who spoke caught up with him and said, "Senior Brother, don't you think Master has been acting strangely these past month or so? It's like he's become a different person."

"Don't overthink it," Yun Dan said. "Master will always be Master."

"Yes."
