Junior Sister must ascend this time!

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger jumped up immediately, almost losing its newly grown fur in fright.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Yun Qing, that female demon, and her aura was even stronger, indicating that her cultivation had increased again.

This meant it was even more dangerous to mess with. It stammered, "You...you've come? Everything is fine—the spirit spring, the spirit fruit, and no one has discovered that place."

Yun Qing patted the Golden-Winged Black Tiger's forehead. "Don't be nervous, I just came to get something."

Just as the Golden-Winged Black Tiger was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say, "Did you secretly curse me? But it's okay, I'm in a good mood and won't hold it against you."

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger's legs were trembling. She could actually read minds! It seemed he couldn't even curse her secretly anymore; this woman was terrifying!

It said ingratiatingly, "The spirit tree has recently grown many spirit fruits, but I dare not eat a single one. I've saved them all for you. Come on, I'll take you there."

So, the man and the tiger entered the spiritual spring barrier again.

Yun Qing planned to soak in the spiritual spring for a while to consolidate her recent cultivation.

Perhaps because she was used to having a small wooden stick with her during cultivation, she took it out as well, and then closed her eyes to feel the pure spiritual energy in the spiritual spring cleansing her meridians.

When she opened her eyes, she found the little wooden stick frolicking in the spiritual spring!

It swam around and around, and even the small leaves on it turned quite green.

Yun Qing's lips twitched. She hadn't just picked up a small piece of wood; she had raised a little tyrant.

They not only love to "eat" spiritual marrow, but also love to "drink" spiritual spring water.

Perhaps sensing Yun Qing's gaze, the little wooden stick suddenly stopped and slowly swam to her hand.

Just as Yun Qing was about to pick it up and put it into her storage bag, she saw the small wooden stick bend itself into a circle and wrap around her hand, like a pretty little bracelet.

Yun Qing smiled. "You're quite good at finding places."

Although I don't know what it's used for, it's not bad as a decoration.

So Yun Qing ignored it and got up to pick most of the spiritual fruits from the tree.

"Since you've worked so hard to guard this place for me, I'll give you the rest of the spiritual fruits."

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger was on the verge of tears. All these spiritual fruits were originally itss, and now it had to say thank you for eating the leftovers.

Waaaaah, is there no justice left?!

Yun Qing returned to her disciple's residence with a bag full of spiritual fruits and a spiritual sword. After that, she focused on her cultivation, determined to secure a spot as a personal disciple.

Until three days later...

Si Mingche grabbed Jiang Mian, who was hanging himself, and pulled him down. "Junior brother, die a little later. The selection of personal disciples is about to begin. We'll soon have a junior sister. Come with me to see."

Jiang Mian shoved Si Mingche away. "Not interested."

Si Mingche was already used to his half-dead state, straightened his clothes, and asked, "Aren't you curious about who our junior sister will be?"

Jiang Mian glanced at him. "How do you know it's Junior Sister and not Junior Brother?"

"Intuition~" Si Mingche pulled Jiang Mian outside, "Let's go! Junior Sister Yun Qing will also participate, this competition is sure to be exciting..."

Upon hearing Yun Qing's name, Jiang Mian quickened his pace without Si Mingche pulling him along, as he felt a sense of familiarity about her.

Si Mingche, who was gradually falling behind, scratched his head. He had just been unwilling to go. "Junior brother, wait for me."

When the two arrived, the sect leader and elders were already seated on the platform.

Pei Shubai also walked with steady steps, revealing an impeccable smile as he nodded to the inner and outer disciples.

Si Mingche waved at him, "Senior Brother, come here quickly!"

Pei Shubai, with his upright and dignified demeanor, stood beside Si Mingche and the others like a god. "Third Junior Brother, how many times have I told you not to make a scene in public? Why don't you listen?"

Si Mingche shut up because he knew that if he continued, Pei Shubai would start nagging again.

After muttering "what a show-off" to himself, Jiang Mian turned his attention to the disciples competing today.

Yun Qing, who was yawning with her mouth wide open, was unaware that someone was watching her. She glanced around at the cultivation levels of the disciples around her. Most of them were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and there were even one or two at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Okay, her cultivation level is the lowest.

"You're Yun Qing?"

Yun Qing turned around, and a disciple with an arrogant face stood in front of her, followed by Wang Jin and several others.

Yun Qing didn't answer the man's question, but instead "concernedly" asked Wang Jin, "Oh, you've come out of the Discipline Hall. Why didn't you spend more time with Junior Sister Jiang Fu after only a month?"

Wang Jinqi's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the man and said, "Senior Brother Chen Zheng, it's her. Not only did she injure Junior Sister Jiang Fu and frame her for being sent to the Discipline Hall, but she also slandered Junior Sister Jiang Fu's reputation at every turn."

After saying that, he said to Yun Qing, "Yun Qing, don't be so smug. Our Senior Brother Chen Zheng is the number one disciple in the inner sect and the disciple most favored by the elders."

You were so arrogant before because Senior Brother Chen Zheng was away on training missions. If you don't behave, you'll definitely regret it!

Chen Zheng's face turned ashen, and he let out a cold sneer.

"A mere trash in the Qi Refining stage dares to compete with me? I'll make sure you don't even get past the first round."

"Since you dare to come, I'll show you the consequences of bullying Junior Sister Jiang Fu!"

As soon as Chen Zheng finished speaking, several disciples around him echoed his words.

"Exactly, someone in the Qi Refining stage dares to embarrass themselves here?"

"Senior Brother Chen Zheng is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; dealing with her would be a piece of cake for him, wouldn't it?"

"I wonder where she got the courage to think she's so great just because she's entered the inner sect?"

Wang Jin stood behind Chen Zheng, his smugness almost overflowing, his chin held high above the sky.

Yun Qing blinked her big eyes. "You're Senior Brother Chen Zheng? I've never had a chance to meet you before. I never expected you to be so..."

Chen Zheng thought she was showing weakness, which greatly satisfied his vanity. "As long as you know what's good for you, I won't let you lose too badly..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Qing uttered two words lightly:

"waste!"

"You! You………"

Chen Zheng was so angry he couldn't even finish a sentence, but Yun Qing was still speaking.

"You've been out here training for so long, and all you've learned is how to talk? It seems like all you have is your mouth to talk."

Oh wait, it seems my mouth is no good either. I'm such a useless person.

Yun Qing shook her head. "Sigh, it's truly eye-opening that the number one inner disciple of Chengtian Sect is only at this level."

The regret in her tone was so genuine that it didn't sound sarcastic. The mouths of the disciples around her were agape, wide enough to fit a steamed bun. How dare she say such a thing?

Little did she know, Yun Qing was genuinely worried about the Cheng Tian Sect. She had only known about her seclusion before, and had no idea that the internal strife within the sect was so intense.

Chen Zheng was so angry he almost vomited blood. He drew his sword and was about to rush forward when Wang Jin and the others held him back. "Senior brother, fighting is not allowed within the sect."

Chen Zheng finally calmed down, realizing he had almost fallen into the girl's trap. He glared at Yun Qing and said fiercely, "You just wait! I'll never let you get away with this!"
