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

The exclamation came from several other close associates off the field.

"Is she the Dao of All Living Beings?"

Holy crap. Ye Qiao is the Dao of All Living Beings?

"She's quite polite, though not much."

"Wait a minute." The elder didn't understand. "How could someone like Ye Qiao be part of the Common People's Path?"

Is a problem.

Moreover, this is a rather significant issue, as each disciple's path differs, but this is the first time a cultivator who upholds the Way of All Living Beings has appeared.

The Way of All Living Beings, as the name suggests, is a way that governs life and loves all people. They never expected it to be Ye Qiao's Way.

"This girl is quite the surprise. I thought she'd be on the Carefree Path, given her personality." Qin Fanfan couldn't help but laugh; she was actually on the Common People Path.

That's really...wonderful!

What an impressive Daoist he sounds like, especially since he's his disciple! If Qin Fanfan had a tail, she would immediately be strutting around in elation.

Seeing Qin Fanfan's smug face, Duan Yu, puzzled, couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is there anything special about it?"

Qin Fanfan also replied in a low voice, "There's nothing special about it, it just sounds impressive." It aligns with the will of Heaven, isn't that impressive enough?

"Why give it to Ye Qiao?" Ye Qinghan asked in a flat tone, suppressing a hint of sourness. "The first of the Five Sects is the Path of the Common People, which is said to be in harmony with the will of Heaven and cultivates great love for all people. Which of these two points do you think Ye Qiao is related to?"

Song Hansheng hesitated for a moment, "Actually, she's a good person."

After all, I helped him out back then.

Ye Qinghan glanced at him with a rare look, her tone indifferent, "Is that so?"

Upon hearing these words, Chu Xingzhi's expression froze for a few seconds.

The Way of the Common People? Your Way of the Common People almost chopped his head off with a single sword strike.

Ye Qiao was naturally thick-skinned, and once he used his sword, he immediately pressed his advantage. His swordsmanship changed constantly, and the sword light flashed, bursting forth with bright light.

Chu Xingzhi's mind couldn't keep up with the speed of her sword techniques. The sword techniques of the three sects were different. Although Chu Xingzhi had fought against different disciples of each sect, he was able to break their sword techniques in a one-on-one situation.

However, there is one thing he cannot do: memorize the different sword techniques of the three sects in actual combat and adapt to Ye Qiao's unpredictable sword techniques.

His mind couldn't keep up with his hand speed at all. The more Ye Qiao led him, the more chaotic his swordsmanship became. He just kept chasing after her and slashing. Ye Qiao quietly unleashed her Qingfeng Technique again, causing the ground to crack. As she jumped up, she stepped on his sword for leverage and kicked him in the side of his head without hesitation.

Chu Xingzhi's head was buzzing for a moment. "Damn it."

He's going to kill Ye Qiao!!

"Both Yueqing Sect and Chengfeng Sect used it, isn't something missing?"

"……"yes.

Some people suddenly realized what was happening.

The Sword Inquiry Sect is gone.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qiao began to form a sword incantation with her hands. The hand gestures were the same ones that Chu Xingzhi had used before. Both Ye Qinghan and Chu Xingzhi had used this move, and it was very easy for them to poke her back then.

More than a dozen sword lights, as white as snow, pierced towards him with overwhelming force.

Sword Inquiry Sect Sword Manual.

To sum up Ye Qiao's current situation in one sentence: Your swordsmanship is really good; it's mine now.

When she used it, every sword-making gesture was perfect, and the dazzling sword light almost blinded him.

Chu Xingzhi cursed under his breath, realizing there was no way to avoid it. He spun his Xuan Sword to block the sword shadows from all directions, but seeing that Ye Qiao was preparing to do it again, he couldn't take it anymore.

I can't give Ye Qiao another chance to humiliate me!!

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I will not let you continue to humiliate me like this."

Seeing this, Ye Qiao paused slightly in her hand seal gesture, thinking that he was finally about to explode.

Chu Xingzhi shouted, "I surrender!!"

Zhu You: "..."

After shouting, Chu Xingzhi ignored the reactions of others and swiftly sheathed his sword and left.

His ranking was already secure; losing one match would at most drop him to fourth place. At this point, if he continued fighting Ye Qiao and won, his cultivation level would be a whole realm higher. What good would it do to win against someone with a lower cultivation level?

Losing would be even more embarrassing.

His senior brother has already lost, so it doesn't really matter if he loses again.

With his senior brother as a shield, his failure will lessen the ridicule from the outside world.

Quickly say thank you, Ye Qinghan.

"I can't beat her." After stepping off the competition stage, Chu Xingzhi scratched his head and finally admitted the fact.

Zhu You covered her head. The Sword Inquiry Sect had kicked a hornet's nest three times in a row against Ye Qiao. It was quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, the Chengfeng Sect was just as shameful as them. Didn't Qin Huai recently try to beat Mu Chongxi with a spirit sword but failed?

As long as someone is worse off than them, they can find some psychological comfort.

Ye Qiao attacking Ye Qinghan would be tantamount to mutual destruction, and both of them would still have zero points.

I got twenty points after winning the match against Chu Xingzhi.

With the addition of the five points awarded in the team competition, their ranking slowly climbed up from the bottom.

Ye Qinghan, who had never been defeated, was beaten to a pulp by Ye Qiao, and his originally secure first place was pushed down.

Mu Chongxi's voice was clear and bright, "Please call me number one."

Ye Qiao rolled her eyes at him.

Zhou Xingyun was even better at slacking off than her. Whenever he saw someone, he would lazily raise his hand to admit defeat, successfully taking over Ye Qiao's last place position and remaining there.

It has a kind of "no matter how strong you are, I'll admit defeat if you make a move" attitude.

"Later on, when I encounter Qin Huai, I'll admit defeat too."

Judging from the fight between Mu Chongxi and him, Qin Huai is ruthless and capable of taking action. Ye Qiao doesn't want to experience his cruelty firsthand.

The talisman cultivators and sword cultivators started at the same time. After Ye Qiao hurriedly finished her match with Chu Xingzhi, she was surrounded by the sword cultivators.

Qin Huai sneered: "Ye Qiao, do you even have a heart?"

Ye Qinghan answered for her: "She has no heart."

Ye Qiao: "..."

Before she could even offer a few words of explanation, Zhou Xingyun grabbed her and ran off. The sword cultivator and talisman cultivator competition started at the same time, and Mingxuan was also in the competition, so the two of them took a look together during their escape.

When Ye Qiao arrived, it wasn't over yet. With the idea of ​​admiring the formations of the Eight Great Families and the Yueqing Sect, she ran over to take a look.

Unlike the sword-wielding cultivators' group, the talisman cultivators' group was more harmonious. She arrived just in time; Ming Xuan had just come down from above and saw her approaching, asking, "Did you win?"

"We won."

The next match was Yun Que's. Ye Qiao noticed that every time she stood in front of Yun Que, the female lead's mentality would be affected. So, she shamelessly stopped moving and just stood there watching her match.

As expected, he was distracted by Ye Qiao's situation, which led to frequent mistakes.

Ye Qiao saw her come down from the competition stage and continue watching. The next match was Su Zhuo's. Seeing that Ye Qiao was still there, Song Hansheng, who had rushed over to watch the match, also cracked his eyes and said, "Don't learn from her."

God knows how annoyed he is by Ye Qiao right now.

Despite having her view blocked, Ye Qiao stubbornly pushed him aside, still wanting to learn more.

Song Hansheng expressionlessly tightened his grip on her neck, "You're not allowed to learn any more of our sect's formations!!" Ever since he learned that Ye Qiao had learned formations from the Yueqing Sect's inner sect secret techniques that he had given her, he had completely lost his composure.

Ye Qiao: "Ahhh, stop it! We're all friends, it's just a little learning session, what's wrong with that?"

Song Hansheng had never seen anyone so shameless. "Who said I'm your friend?!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mingxuan kicked Song Hansheng away and said in a light tone, "Then why did you lay a hand on my junior sister?"

???

Song Han chuckled, "If you two can't speak properly, you can shut up."

Mingxuan said lazily, "Why should we shut up?"

Since Song Hansheng was dead, he could shut up.

After a while of laughter and chatter, the disciples on the field had basically finished their competitions, while the talisman cultivators competed on the quality of their talismans and the effectiveness of their formations.

Song Hansheng and Ming Xuan are among the best. They come from prominent families and are skilled not only in their own sects but also in techniques passed down through their families. She glanced at their current rankings and saw them as the first and second on the Talisman Cultivation Ranking.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will be the second-ranked individuals on the individual rune ranking list.

Ye Qiao was just about to leave when she turned back halfway and glanced at the last place, which was Yun Que.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

She didn't really care about any changes in the female lead, but in Ye Qiao's memory, Yun Que should have been number one on the original novel's Talisman Cultivation Ranking, right?

How did we end up like this?

Ye Qiao had to think about the problem from a different angle. When did the plot break down again? After she came down the mountain, without the original owner's sacrifice of spiritual roots, how did Yun Que's damaged spiritual roots recover?

Or rather, without her as a plot device, the storyline would change. Is Yun Que's current spiritual root truly her own?

Ye Qiao fell into deep thought. If the spiritual roots don't match, the talent will also be affected. Without the Heavenly Spiritual Root, the top-grade spiritual root that Yun Que dug for might not be as effective.

After a moment's thought, Ye Qiao felt compelled to remind Song Hansheng, both from a humanitarian and spiritual perspective, and frantically hinted that the other party's spiritual root might have some issues.

"Song Hansheng, cough." She cleared her throat. "Don't you think your junior sister has something particularly outstanding about her?"

Song Hansheng said coldly, "I can see that. She's significantly worse at cooking than the average person."
