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

……

Ye Qiao was also exhausted. The demonic beasts had been mostly eliminated. She slumped on the ground, panting and unwilling to move.

so tired.

Ye Qiao's previously restless spiritual energy was completely exhausted this time. While feeling tired, she also felt a long-lost sense of comfort. She wiped away her sweat and could feel something warm nourishing her body.

The warmth made her feel so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

The three senior brothers knew she was exhausted, so they didn't disturb her but instead gathered together to discuss it.

"You just said that Junior Sister hasn't learned the first move of the Clear Breeze Technique, right?"

Mu Chongxi nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, could it be that she secretly studied with Elder Duan without my knowledge?" Otherwise, there's no way to explain how she could do that.

Mingxuan raised an eyebrow: "Is it possible that Junior Sister imitated your sword strike?"

Mu Chongxi: "Huh?"

"Didn't you notice that at first, Junior Sister's sword swings were quite clumsy, like a beginner taking her first steps?"

"After repeated adjustments and practice, I gradually learned how to hold the sword correctly and how to better utilize the sword techniques in the sword manual."

This scene was just like back in the library, when Mingxuan only demonstrated how to draw the Fire Control Talisman once, and she was able to copy it perfectly.

"But...but I studied for two months back then." Mu Chongxi's eyes widened slightly, and she stammered as she spoke.

He spent two whole months learning the first move of the Qingfeng Technique, and was even praised by Elder Duan for his extraordinary talent. But what about his junior sister?

Not even a day.

"Don't forget what Senior Brother Xue said, she has a photographic memory." After his experience in the library, Mingxuan's ability to learn was much better than his. He even had the leisure to explain to the other, "You may not know, but Junior Sister can memorize more than a dozen talisman books in two days."

"..."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Mu Chongxi had told Ye Qiao to watch carefully, his original intention was just to show off, but he never expected that she would actually learn it in just one lesson.

Realizing he had unintentionally stabbed his junior brother in the back again, Mingxuan disregarded their past grievances and tried to comfort him, "Um. Although you might not be as good as your junior sister in terms of memory, you are in terms of comprehension..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when the other two sensed something.

Qi Qi turned their heads in surprise and looked in Ye Qiao's direction.

Breakthrough?

Mingxuan's expression showed even more undisguised shock: "...But you might not be as good as him in terms of comprehension either."

...Is she completely without any bottlenecks in her progress?

Upon hearing this, Mu Chongxi gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, you really know how to comfort people."

The three of them quietly waited for Ye Qiao to calm down and stabilize her cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage. Before the demon beast arrived, they had put all the Tranquilizing Grass into their storage bags. No one expected that this training would yield such a great harvest.

After Ye Qiao established her foundation, she could feel that her sea of ​​consciousness had expanded by more than double. Before she could even experience the benefits of this expansion, a pink figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

As soon as Ye Qiao opened her eyes after finishing her meditation, she was suddenly confronted with Yun Que's large face. She exclaimed, "!! A ghost!"

Yun Que's expression stiffened slightly. She was about to grab Ye Qiao's sleeve when she was bounced away.

Xue Yu stood silently in front of Ye Qiao without saying a word. After hearing Ye Qiao's scream, he felt that there was something wrong with this junior sister of Yueqing Sect.

After being thrown back, Yun Que bit her lip, still unwilling to give up. She pleaded, "Could you give me a Qingxin Grass?"

"Second Senior Sister, you should know, right? I was born with incomplete spiritual roots. I'm currently missing a spiritual root to implant in medicine."

Seeing his beloved woman so humble, Su Zhuo felt a pang of heartache. "Yes, Second Senior Sister, you already have so many, what harm is there in giving my Junior Sister just one?"

Before Ye Qiao could even retort, Ming Xuan curled his lips and began spewing venom: "Who is your second senior sister? This is our junior sister."

"Give it to you? Why should I? Just because your junior sister has a big face?"

"What's wrong with giving me one? You're so ugly, you might as well just die and stop getting in my way."

Mingxuan slightly raised his chin, a contemptuous expression on his lips, looking as if to say, "You are all crooked and ugly, I would rather not see you." This made Su Zhuo so angry that he fell backward.

"Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, Junior Sister." Xue Yu ignored the farce and tossed her the Spirit Strengthening Pill. "We should go back now."

At the same time, he secretly thought that he should deal less with these abnormal disciples of the Yueqing Sect in the future.

Especially that disciple named Yun Que.

"Don't be too smug." Song Hansheng's expression was gloomy. Seeing that the four of them were not giving him any face, he coldly began to make threats, "We'll see about the competition."

None of the four turned around.

Mingxuan: "Tsk."

Mu Chongxi: "Pah!"

Xue Yu: "Oh."

Ye Qiao: "Who cares about you?"

Song Hansheng's face gradually contorted: "..."

Su Zhuo watched Ye Qiao's departing figure, his feelings indescribable.

"She and Senior Brother Xue Yu have a good relationship, right?" Yun Que stood there and suddenly spoke softly.

For some reason, seeing Xue Yu and the others protecting Ye Qiao made her feel very uncomfortable.

It was as if something that should have belonged to him had been stolen by Ye Qiao.

"Among the eight great families, Xue is the eldest son of the Xue family. It is said that Senior Brother Xue can refine some pills that can help people break through quickly."

The path to immortality requires a down-to-earth approach. While using pills to build a foundation may be fast, the backlash is severe. To put it bluntly, it's just a showy facade. At the same level, you can be easily knocked away by a single sword strike.

Su Zhuo hesitated for a few seconds: "You mean, Second Senior Sister raised her cultivation level using pills?"

Ye Qiao and the other two grew up together. The second senior sister was the most honest, but she changed after returning from the Demon Abyss.

Su Zhuo couldn't quite describe his feelings, but he felt a slight resentment towards her. It was just mayfly grass, after all. Why did she get so angry and go down the mountain over it?

"Yes." Yun Que forced a smile. "After all... Second Senior Sister was stuck at the third level of Qi Refining for so many years, how could she have reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just a few months?"

If we're talking about someone even more shocked than Su Zhuo, it has to be Yun Que.

How could that dull and unremarkable second senior sister be the person in front of me?

Not only did he establish his foundation earlier than me, but he also became my personal disciple whose status was no less than mine.

This was even more painful for her than killing Yun Que.
