I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

The major sects are all a bunch of idiots.

Really.

This was the idea that came to Ye Qiao on the very first day of her transmigration.

She was a lowly office worker who had finally finished drawing a design draft after staying up all night. But when she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into this world of swords and shadows, a world of cultivation.

The original owner was also named Ye Qiao, a child who was kindly picked up from the foot of the mountain by the sect leader Yun Hen.

The Moon Purity Sect is one of the five major sects in the cultivation world.

This sect, whose main focus is on Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), array formations, and talisman drawing, consists of disciples who are all group-level sorcerers.

Yunhen was kind-hearted, and even though the original owner had very poor talent, he still took her in as his disciple.

When the original owner was found, he was the second oldest in his family, with two fellow disciples. Although he wasn't exactly pampered, he managed to get by in the sect. Everything changed after his master brought a little girl from the mortal realm.

Yunhen, who is usually cold and aloof, made exceptions time and time again for that mortal girl, and in the end even wanted to take a disciple with no spiritual roots as his apprentice.

This puzzled the original owner greatly.

Ye Qiao, holding the script, knew it was because it was a novel about a heartthrob.

The female protagonist in the book is named Yun Que. She is a delicate and soft-spoken girl who is a heartthrob who cries with red eyes at the slightest provocation.

Just like the title suggests, the powerful figures in the entire cultivation world are obsessed with her, and they even fight over her.

As things progressed with the arrival of the junior sister, they became increasingly absurd. The original owner gradually became a tool; when the junior sister was in trouble, the second senior sister would step in; when the junior sister was captured, the second senior sister would take the fall; when the junior sister's spiritual root was damaged, the second senior sister would try to take it out; and in the end, the junior sister was killed by her master with a sword through her heart.

awful.

It's too awful.

The most tragic character in the entire story is none other than the second senior sister, who is essentially just a tool.

And now she has become this unlucky second senior sister.

What Ye Qiao saw before her eyes made her even more convinced that this sect was full of 24k purebred idiots.

Ye Qiao knelt on the cold stone slab in the hall. The powerful pressure of Immortal Lord Yunhen leaned on her, and the oppressive feeling forced her to lower her head and respectfully call out "Master".

Yunhen gave a casual reply, "You brought back the mayfly grass?"

Mayfly grass grows at the bottom of the cliff in the Demon Abyss. It can heal damaged spiritual consciousness. Everyone in the Three Realms knows that the Demon Clan is sealed beneath it. Those who enter the Demon Abyss have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying, and some are even directly devoured as nourishment.

Ye Qiao was relatively lucky; apart from her hands being corroded by demonic energy, nothing else happened to her.

"Senior sister brought back the mayfly grass." Junior brother Su Zhuo's eyes crinkled.

"With the mayfly grass, Junior Sister's injuries will definitely heal." The eldest brother's eyes also held a smile, a stark contrast to his usual aloof demeanor.

His junior sister was frail and sickly, which had caused him a lot of worry. Now that he had the mayfly grass to repair her spiritual consciousness, she would probably be able to get out of bed and move around in a few days.

Even the master's usually stern face showed a hint of gentleness. "Go and give the mayfly grass to the medicine pavilion. After it's refined, send it to the Hibiscus Garden."

A white herb was taken out from her mustard seed space and floated in mid-air. Yunhen slightly raised her hand and placed it in her palm.

From beginning to end, no one asked Ye Qiao whether she agreed or not; or rather, in their eyes, she didn't even have the right to object.

Ye Qiao stood below, watching this harmonious scene, and suddenly spoke up, "Master, when did I ever say I was going to give this mayfly grass to Junior Sister?"

No one expected Ye Qiao to suddenly launch an attack. Su Zhuo was clearly stunned for a few seconds, then moved his lips and managed to explain, "But Junior Sister needs this spiritual herb more than you do..."

Ye Qiao has mediocre talent, and she needs the help of the Mayfly Grass to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Su Zhuo heard that she was going to retrieve the spiritual herbs, he couldn't help but think of the junior sister that his master had brought back from the mortal world.

Both are young, but one is lively and energetic enough to go to the Demon Abyss to retrieve spiritual herbs, while the other can only be confined to his sickbed.

Su Zhuo felt a pang of sympathy and told his master about it.

"Ah Que is physically weak." Yun Hen was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude, but after a pause, she still explained, "You are healthier than her. Give the mayfly grass to Ah Que first."

"When the sect competition starts in the future, I'll have your senior brother bring you another mayfly grass from the ancient battlefield."

Ancient battlefield?

Not to mention how rare mayfly grass is, even if it exists in the secret realm of the ancient battlefield, how many geniuses gather in the sect competition held once every hundred years?

What guarantees that Yunhen can ensure his two senior brothers will be able to snatch the mayfly grass?

Ye Qiao glanced at the three people who were so biased, and sneered inwardly. She muttered, "So it's because she's weak that she's right, and because I'm strong that I deserve to die?"

Yunhen felt offended when his usually obedient disciple suddenly uttered such a disrespectful remark. His brows furrowed and he angrily rebuked, "Insolence!"

The immense pressure of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator slammed down on her shoulders. The man coldly flicked his wide sleeves, sending a gust of wind flying over. Ye Qiao was pressed down and unable to move, not even having the chance to dodge, and crashed heavily into the white pillar.

The legendary Demon Abyss, where one was said to have survived by the skin of their teeth, did not injure the original owner, but upon returning to the sect, he was beaten up like this by his master.

This damn cultivation world!

"Born rebellious, utterly ignorant of hierarchy." Yunhen coldly left these words behind before disappearing from sight.

"Get out and go to your own cave to reflect on your mistakes."

Ye Qiao wiped the blood from her nose, and then, under everyone's gaze, slowly gave Yun Hen the middle finger as he left.

This was probably her last act of defiance as a cannon fodder supporting character.

"Junior Sister." Su Zhuo walked to her side, lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly, "I'm sorry."

I will pay you back in the future.

He felt somewhat guilty because his selfishness had led to his junior sister being punished.

Ye Qiao wiped her blood away, and seeing him approach, she quickly retreated, warning him as if he were a venomous snake, "Don't come any closer."

The female lead's fish all stay away from her.

The girl's merciless words took him by surprise; he hadn't expected his usually taciturn second senior sister to throw such a tantrum.

The eldest brother, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Ye Qiao's wrist and said in a deep voice, "Junior sister, can you please stop being so childish?"

"Junior Sister can't even get out of bed now; she needs the mayfly grass more than you do."

Ye Qiao's hand was still injured, and the pain from being grabbed made her gasp. She suspected that this bastard had done it on purpose.

Not wanting to suffer, she raised her other hand and punched him in the face.

Zhai Chen quickly dodged, and naturally released Ye Qiao's hand.

Ye Qiao clutched her injured area. "So you think you can take mine?"

"So the Moon Purity Sect got its current status by robbing people?"

Zhai Chen was taken aback by her retort, "Why are you being so unreasonable?"

"Oh, right, right, right." Ye Qiao nodded perfunctorily: "I'm heartless, I'm ruthless, I'm unreasonable."

"Go find your junior sister quickly."

If she had some expectations for the cultivation world before, after learning that she was the unlucky cannon fodder female supporting character who was pierced through the heart by a sword, Ye Qiao just wanted to live on with a smile.

Don't worry about it.

She wanted to go down the mountain.

Having made up her mind, Ye Qiao took off running, not even glancing at the two idiots behind her. She quickly opened the mustard seed bag and headed straight for the Hall of Fate.

Perhaps the author wanted to highlight the female lead's status as the most beloved member of the group, which resulted in the other disciples being treated like dirt by Yunhen.

Ye Qiao was the worst off among them.

The only thing I can show off is the mental cultivation manual that was given to me when I became an apprentice.

Spirit stones are extremely rare.

There are hundreds of inner disciples in the Moon Purity Sect, and they are all stronger than her. Ye Qiao is just a filler.

Since they're not direct disciples, it's very easy for them to leave the sect.

Return all the resources you've obtained from the Moon Purity Sect over the years, inform the elder of the Fate Hall, and once you receive his approval, you can leave.

Ye Qiao was penniless, and after returning the magical artifact, he also returned all the spirit stones.

The original owner was already disliked by the elders because of her poor aptitude. When the Grand Elder of the Fate Hall heard that she was going to leave the sect, he desperately suppressed his joy. He never expected that Ye Qiao was such a fool.

They got lucky and got into the inner circle, but now they want to leave.

"Should I inform the sect leader?" The Grand Elder was unusually kind to her, and said a few words insincerely, "Which sect are you planning to go to after you leave? Do you need some spirit stones from the elders? After all, staying at an inn requires money."

I thought Ye Qiao would remain silent, but she didn't hesitate and said, "Yes."

She even shamelessly reached out her hand and, with a look of gratitude, flattered him, saying, "I never expected that the Yueqing Sect would have such a kind person as you."

Grand Elder: "..."

He was just being polite, but she showered him with compliments, leaving him with no choice but to give them to her.

The elder's expression twisted for a few moments as he looked at the shameless Ye Qiao and fell into deep thought.

Was this kid always this shameless?

I don't think so.

In his memory, Ye Qiao was usually a quiet and reserved person in the inner sect.

Ye Qiao calmly waited for him to help her. The original owner of this body was a diligent and honest person who was willing to sacrifice his life for the sect, but Ye Qiao was not.

If you don't have any spirit stones after going down the mountain, you'll have to sleep on the streets. The Grand Elder has already spoken, so it would be stupid not to follow the ladder.

The elder took out a heavy bag, perhaps thinking that she would be leaving soon, so he was not stingy. "There are one hundred mid-grade spirit stones inside."

"Take it and go."

He waved his hand.

Ye Qiao's eyes lit up, and she said sincerely, "Thank you, Elder."

The elder waved his hand impatiently, telling her to get lost.

After leaving the Hall of Fate, Ye Qiao put the spirit stones into her mustard seed bag, but then heard someone behind her mutter, "Useless."

Ye Qiao turned her head and glanced at him. "What did you say?"

The male disciple didn't expect that she had overheard him; in fact, there were too many people in the sect who were dissatisfied with Ye Qiao.

A disciple with mediocre talent wouldn't even qualify as an outer disciple in the five major sects. If he hadn't been incredibly lucky and been picked up by the sect leader, how could he possibly have become an inner disciple?

Many people gloated after hearing that Ye Qiao had been punished by the sect leader.

He is one of them.

Faced with Ye Qiao's questioning, the male disciple's face turned pale, and he stammered for a long time, "I..."

"waste?"

Ye Qiao repeated it, and seeing him turn deathly pale with fright, she sincerely exclaimed, "You have a really good eye for people."

"How about I let you be the inner disciple?"

The original owner worked himself to the bone for the sect, always rushing to get any resources, only to have them distributed to the outer sect disciples. What was the point?

Did her master eventually pluck out her spiritual root and pierce her heart with a sword?

The male disciple was stunned.

"You're right, I'm a good-for-nothing." Ye Qiao tossed the waist token to the male disciple, waved her hand, and said, "I'm not worthy of being a disciple of the inner sect. Farewell."

The male disciple was completely dumbfounded.

He watched as Ye Qiao casually tossed the waist token into his arms and then turned and went down the mountain without looking back.

*

The female lead has a lot of quirky and unconventional actions, the story features a small ensemble cast, has a sect-based setting, and she can single-handedly carry the entire group. It's not a typical example of someone who gives up easily; she still puts in the effort when necessary. It's basically a silly and satisfying read.
