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

Early the next morning, cultivators from all walks of life on the Immortal Friends Forum were waiting for the famous scene of Changming Sect fighting three against one. Not only did outsiders think so, but even the five sects thought that after all of them tacitly rejected Changming Sect, they would have a famous scene of three against one when they arrived in Penglai.

In any case, the Changming Sect has no allies.

Chengfeng Sect thought this way, and Bishui Sect thought the same way. After all, they had already tacitly agreed beforehand. When everyone arrived one after another, almost at the same time, the groups stood in their positions. When they saw Changming Sect members stand up and move to a different spot, they realized something was wrong.

"The Changming Sect has actually found allies?" Duan Hengdao sat up in surprise.

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that Si Miaoyan has softened her heart?"

This seems unlikely, since Si Miaoyan also looks a bit confused.

But aside from Si Miaoyan, who would want to form an alliance with the Changming Sect?

Given Changmingzong's character, it's truly hard to imagine.

Ye Qiao slept quite well last night. She yawned, waved, and greeted Song Hansheng, "It's been a pleasure working with you. I remember saying that before, but I hope you don't mind if I say it again."

She was all smiles.

In the silence, the people from the Moon Purity Sect moved and came together on their own initiative.

The two teams, one red and one blue, looked quite harmonious standing together.

Amidst the chorus of surprised exclamations, Song Hansheng did not hesitate and said sincerely, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

This is probably the first real cooperation between the two sects. Changming Sect and Wenjian Sect have cooperated for a short period of time, but Yueqing Sect has never cooperated with them.

Qin Huai was shocked. He had even suspected Si Miaoyan of betraying him, but he never suspected that Song Hansheng would turn against him at the last minute. He stared at Song Hansheng, his gaze turning cold. Song Hansheng's lips twitched, and his gaze was also cool.

The two chiefs exchanged barbs.

The shattering of their superficial friendship happened in an instant, and Qin Huai was furious at his betrayal and self-righteous attitude.

Song Hansheng, however, was unreasonable yet arrogant.

This was their first collaboration with a major sect of talisman cultivators, and some adjustment was inevitable. Mingxuan glanced at the five members of the Yueqing Sect, then pointed to one of them, who was also the sect's only sword cultivator, and whispered to Xue Yu, "What's his name again?"

To be honest, they weren't very familiar with this swordsman. They hadn't encountered him in individual competitions, and his performance in team competitions wasn't as impressive as that of the talisman cultivator.

Mu Chongxi raised his hand to answer quickly and decisively: "I know, his name is—Da Zhiliao!"

Ye Qiao was taken aback, turned her head in surprise, "What kind of weird name is that? Zhi Liao?"

The boy, who had been inexplicably called out, happened to overhear the conversation. He turned around and said, word by word, "Thank you, but my name is Dai Zhiye."

It's not called a cicada!

He almost went crazy. It was bad enough that his name was misremembered, but the fact that Changming Sect spoke with such certainty was unacceptable.

"...Oh." That's really too presumptuous of me.

Mingxuan was taken aback. "Sorry." Then he shook Mu Chongxi's head frantically. "Don't try to answer if you can't remember the name next time."

In the end, it all turned into such an awkward situation.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to mind, giving them a cold glance before looking away.

……

A group of mythical beasts were finally leaving the sect, and the back mountain would no longer be full of potholes all day long. Elder Zhao was extremely gratified, but Qin Fanfan's father was worried.

He stroked his beard a couple of times and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid they'll ruin themselves."

There are no major troubles in Penglai, but minor disturbances keep popping up, and too many minor disturbances could lead to death. The biggest threat on their trip is probably the various poisonous spiritual plants. If they accidentally come into contact with them, something bad could easily happen. The key is that these people are not the kind of people who are careful. Who knows, they might have a moment of madness and think of letting their companions try them.

"Why don't we have those two from Penglai provide backup?" Duan Yu suggested. "Let those two groups of divine beasts fight each other?"

Penglai isn't exactly known for its good temper either.

After all, there are few people; Penglai only has two direct disciples. In terms of rarity, they are even fewer than the direct disciples of the five sects. Penglai would rather protect them in every way. Direct disciples meeting is like heaven and earth colliding, and comparisons between them are inevitable.

Let's compete then, at least someone will look out for us, right?

What worries them most is that Ye Qiao is leading the team this time; she might ruin Penglai if she gets carried away.

Without further ado, Qin Fanfan sent a message via jade slip in advance, instructing them to keep a close eye on Ye Qiao and the others.

"Do you know any of those disciples?" One of the disciples from Penglai who received the communication was a young girl. She shook the jade slip. "I think they're all quite strange."

Penglai is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and within their sect, there are only these two, a brother and sister.

Seeing her senior brother's indifferent expression, she shrugged. "I'm not denying anyone. I just think their sect leader has a real motherly mentality. It's just a training trip, which sect's disciples are rushed around like this? Are they so weak that they can't even handle a Penglai spiritual plant?"

We also need to make arrangements with them in Penglai.

"I know some information."

"Ye Qiao, one of the direct disciples of the Changming Sect, her strength is unknown, but she becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents."

Another disciple, with an exceptionally refined appearance, was described by the man holding a chess piece. After a moment's thought, he chose the most accurate assessment: "A beautiful woman indeed, but unfortunately, she's got a screw loose. She doesn't like to follow the beaten path. I heard Ye Qinghan didn't come this time. The disciple leading the group is Ye Qiao."

"I will return to the island in a month." He said sincerely, "I hope that nothing will happen to Penglai by then."
