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

This was Ye Qiao's first time attending such a formal victory celebration banquet hosted by the five sects. Ming Xuan, quite experienced, told Ye Qiao, "This is the first time it's been held at our Changming Sect. In the past, it was always the Wenjian Sect that hosted it."

"Once we get there, we'll just eat and drink the whole time, and then give a few sarcastic remarks to any of your favorite protégés and close associates you don't like."

In the past, banquets were always a time for comparison and ridicule.

Xue Yu nodded, confirming the other party's words, "You can also understand it as an annual bragging contest between the Eight Great Families and the Five Sects."

"In previous years, the Sword Inquiry Sect hosted the event, but this year it's our sect's turn. We are the hosts this time, and the elders hope that we can be humble and try not to argue with the other sects or let them argue, so as not to spoil the atmosphere."

The celebration banquet invited eight prominent families, and the sect leaders were subtly and overtly criticizing those aristocratic families who did nothing when faced with problems.

The heads of the families who received the news all had grim expressions.

Qin Fanfan kept her word. The five sects had been enjoying a rare period of peace these past few days, with everyone preparing for the victory banquet. Before that, the elders had also held a meeting to summarize the events and, in their spare time, offered guidance on the shortcomings of their disciples.

Ye Qiao and Mu Chongxi were both reprimanded by the elders.

They weren't allowed to use any external forces, so they used this inheritance for training. The precognitive inheritance maxed out Ye Qiao's dodging ability, and Duan Yu couldn't catch up with her speed for a while. Mu Chongxi's inheritance was also very interesting. After a few moves landed on him, this brat was as lively and energetic as if nothing had happened.

Its resilience has increased dramatically.

He looked at his two protégés, who were able to fight him to a standstill, and chuckled maliciously. "Ye Qiao and Mu Chongxi, you two, come at me together. You'll be considered successful if you can catch a glimpse of me."

Ye Qiao raised her eyes: "Really?"

"Is it that simple?" Mu Chongxi was also skeptical.

Duan Yu: "Come here."

The two disciples had excellent teamwork. As soon as he gave the order, they attacked simultaneously, one flanking from behind and the other attacking from the front. Their attacks were easily neutralized. Just as Duan Yu was about to counterattack, Ye Qiao nimbly leaped backward and dodged.

Mu Chongxi wasn't afraid of being beaten up; he was knocked away as if nothing had happened.

But soon, Ye Qiao was so dizzy from the glare that all she could see were Elder Duan Yu's figure appearing around her one after another.

"Holy crap. Stepping on the breeze can be this fast?"

It's almost gone, leaving only a blurry image.

In this situation, the predictive system can only predict loneliness.

With their cultivation levels unequal and their combat experience insufficient, Ye Qiao couldn't keep up with Duan Yu's movements at all. She licked her lips and pondered the techniques her ancestor of the Changming Sect had used to train her, hoping to break the deadlock. However, she had no ideas for how to proceed in the current situation.

Mu Chongxi tried to smash Duan Yu in front of him, but all his moves missed. He was dizzy and said, "Elders, there are so many elders."

Ye Qiao tried to approach Duan Yu, and looking at the elusive elder, calmly said, "Let's try to catch him by attacking him from both sides."

With a gentle breeze, the two leaped up one after the other, and just then, Duan Yu's figure was captured.

Ye Qiao and Mu Chongxi's eyes lit up, and they rushed over like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

Elder Duan seemed to be toying with them, giving Ye Qiao the illusion that she could catch him each time, only to disappear the next second.

Ye Qiao fell into deep reflection: "I feel like I've been tricked."

Mu Chongxi: "Remove the feeling."

The two men tried to grab Elder Duan in a haphazard manner, but a few seconds later, they bumped into each other. They both tried to stop and pull back, but Elder Duan appeared out of nowhere and landed behind them, pressing one hand on the back of the other's head, causing their heads to collide hard.

The loud "bang" made their eyes water instantly.

Depend on.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

The two collapsed to the ground, completely disoriented. Ye Qiao, her vision blurring from the impact, clutched her forehead and grumbled, "Is your head made of a weight?"

Mu Chongxi rubbed his head, still dizzy from the impact, and said, "Is this my fault?" He pouted, "This is how the inheritance I received is."

The dragon race symbolizes the inheritance of brutality and power, but who knew it could also enhance the body? Ye Qiao gasped, "Elder, let's make a deal. He's like a cannonball; he could knock my physique away in an instant. Are you sure you want us to have the same training process?"

Ye Qiao is quite resilient now, a result of being repeatedly beaten by Duan Yu.

But even the most resilient can't compare to the Dragon Clan's heritage. Ye Qiao wanted Elder Duan to lower the difficulty of her training, so she frantically hinted to him, "Why don't you consider changing our training?"

Duan Yu suddenly realized, "You're right, Xiao Qiao."

"I didn't expect you to be so eager to learn." He slammed his fist into his palm. "Then you can stay behind alone later, and I'll give you extra training."

"Don't worry." He said with relief, "I will definitely help you catch up with Mu Chongxi's progress."

"Stay here for the next few days to train and try to apply the 'Stepping on the Breeze' technique to my level."

Ye Qiao, who tried to lighten her training load but ended up losing more than she gained: "..."

*

On the day of the victory celebration banquet, all the aristocratic families were invited, making the usually quiet Changming Sect unusually lively. Several disciples were assigned to act as mascots, and even Zhou Xingyun, who tried to escape to find some peace and quiet, was dragged away.

When the Sword Inquiry Sect arrived, Ye Qinghan and his companions intended to walk past without looking at them. However, as soon as they stepped into the formation within the Changming Sect's territory, Ye Qiao and her group of five came up and shook hands with them.

"???"

Depend on.

Did you take the wrong medicine again?

"Ye Qiao, act normal." Chu Xingzhi stepped in and then stepped back, his voice utterly sincere: "The way you're acting is a little scary for us."

"Oh." Mingxuan dismissively shook off his hand. "The elders told us to be friendly to you. What? Are you unhappy with us?"

"Yeah. Isn't there a saying like that?" Mu Chongxi counted on his fingers, "Friends come from afar, though they are far away, they shall be punished?" Something seems off.

Zhu You smiled and said, "Thank you for trying to kill us so early in the morning."

There was nothing to talk about with this group. They were already used to the Changming Sect's occasional erratic behavior, so they entered one after another without saying anything more.

The group of five standing at the gate of the sect encountered several acquaintances. After the Yueqing Sect entered, Mingxuan specifically stopped Mingyi.

He heard that Yunhen was preparing to take Mingyi as his disciple.

The missing mentor position had remained unfilled, but Mingyi proved herself well in Bibo City, so it wasn't surprising that Song Hansheng and Zhai Chen, among other mentors, would recommend her.

"Congratulations on becoming a disciple." Mingxuan hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Are you settling in well at the Moon Purity Sect?"

Mingyi looked blank for a few seconds, then nodded: "It's alright. There's a lot of homework, but I really like this atmosphere."

She enjoyed that feeling, and her mentor wasn't as difficult to get along with as she had imagined. As long as she had decent talent and didn't hold anyone back, she was easily accepted.

"And you?" Mingyi looked at the people of Changming Sect.

Mu Chongxi: "You actually do homework? Unlike us, we never do homework."

Zhou Xingyun was even more bewildered: "Our sect actually has homework?"

Mingyi: "...Sorry to bother you."

She quickened her pace to get away from the Changming Sect behind her and catch up with the main group ahead.
