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

Zhou Xingyun: "...?"

He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered that Ye Qiao had been fiddling with his jade slip for a long time. He looked at Ye Qiao, who was startled. She hadn't expected Qin Huai to be so blunt. She quickly clarified, "I sent the message to both of you."

"There is indeed something I need to discuss with you." As for sleeping, that's unnecessary.

She felt a little guilty, then straightened her back and said, "Isn't this better? It prevents them from thinking we're in cahoots."

Qin Huai almost laughed out of anger: "So you chose to let them misunderstand that the three of us slept together in the middle of the night?"

Ye Qiao shrugged. "Anyway, nobody will believe it."

Even if word gets out, cultivators in the cultivation world will only joke about it; the situation won't escalate to the point where the disciples of the five sects are secretly colluding and plotting.

"Did you send that?"

She nodded.

Qin Huai: "...Do you think you're being polite?"

Suddenly, a sentence popped up on the jade slip: "Come sleep with us at Changming Sect." Heaven knows how much of a shock this seemingly casual remark caused to Qin Huai's soul.

"I apologize for my intrusion earlier," Ye Qiao said crisply. "So, are you interested in having a chat? I really do have something to discuss with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be bothering you all at night."

Ye Qinghan had assumed Zhou Xingyun had invited them to Changming Sect for a sparring match, but it turned out not to be the case. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and asked in a low voice, "So what did you want with us?"

As the number one disciple of the righteous path, he is usually very busy and has no time to waste on a newly promoted disciple.

The fact that he didn't leave immediately was already the greatest respect he could show to the Changming Sect.

Zhou Xingyun also paused slightly.

He looked at her with slight surprise.

...Junior Sister, you're actually this fierce?

but.

He tilted his head and whispered, "If you like, I can help you catch them both."

While Ye Qinghan and Qin Huai are indeed difficult to deal with, Zhou Xingyun could take them down by borrowing his domain and launching some unexpected sneak attacks.

"..."

How did Zhou Xingyun manage to say such chilling things in such a serious tone?

Ye Qiao shook her head vigorously, her voice also lowered: "I really didn't mean that."

They were all old acquaintances, and she genuinely wanted to invite them to help.

"All right."

Zhou Xingyun sounded quite regretful, but Ye Qiao had no idea what he was regretting. She couldn't understand Zhou Xingyun at all, since her senior brother's thought process was sometimes really peculiar.

"Since we're already here, let's have a chat." Qin Huai is easy to understand. He is ambitious, extreme in his actions, and has a strong sense of curiosity. Ye Qiao, this suddenly appearing protégé, has successfully piqued his curiosity, and he wants to find out more about her.

After all, they hadn't recruited any new disciples for four years, so the fact that they suddenly accepted her meant that she must have some extraordinary qualities.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiao couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips.

Sure enough, in this world, no one ever told Qin Huai the truth that having too much curiosity can really lead to encountering bad people.

The four of them entered the courtyard together, and all tacitly chose not to go into the rooms, but instead sat around in the courtyard. To avoid an awkward atmosphere, Ye Qiao took the lead and gave a simple self-introduction with a smile. While the other two were still wondering if she, also surnamed Ye, had any connection with the Ye family of the Eight Great Families, Ye Qiao had already gone straight to the point.

"I hope you will come to Changming Sect for a gathering in half a month."

Ye Qinghan instinctively refused: "I have something to do, I'm afraid I won't have the time."

Ye Qiao knew, of course, that he had something on his mind. In the original story, he was held up by a mission. By the time he finished dealing with that troublesome demon, it would be too late, and the Qing Dynasty would be on the verge of collapse.

"Can't we just decline? Or give it to Chu Xingzhi. His cultivation level should be second only to yours." Chu Xingzhi is definitely not weak.

Ye Qiao reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions: "Besides, this is a major event in your life."

After all, Yun Que's men had come knocking on her door, even causing widespread bloodshed. How could she, as the empress, not see it for herself?

"What's the big deal?" He pursed his lips and his expression turned ugly when he heard Ye Qiao mention Chu Xingzhi.

Ye Qiao was taken aback, remembering that Chu Xingzhi had already met his demise. She looked away and changed the subject, "The cultivation world will be in chaos in half a month, and Yun Que's life may be in danger." This was true; she had single-handedly cuckolded so many powerful figures in the cultivation world. Those people went berserk and attacked everyone indiscriminately. If it weren't for Mu Chongxi's foolish act of courting death, Yun Que would have been cornered and nearly strangled to death.

"Will the cultivation world descend into chaos in ten days or so?"

Qin Huai spoke with eloquence: "You look quite young, and you've only been a disciple of the Changming Sect for a few months. Why should we trust you?"

Ye Qinghan reacted coldly, "Are you sure you're not joking again? We didn't receive any prior notice, so what makes you so sure?"

Qin Huai quickly added, "Based on your few words?"

Ye Qiao was somewhat puzzled. Ha, these two were actually singing in unison?

Having spent the past few years with them, she knew exactly what kind of people they were. It was inevitable that she would be questioned. Ye Qiao thought for a moment and then gave a vague answer, "I have my own sources of information."

"How about we make a bet?"

She really enjoys gambling.

Although I've never won when I place a bet.

But if she bets on herself, she always wins. This taught her a lesson: it's unreliable to bet on anyone other than yourself.

"Fine," Qin Huai said in a gloomy tone, "If you're playing me, you're dead."

"How could that be?" she laughed. "I was sincerely inviting you to cooperate."

"But if it's really as you say, isn't seeing Ye Qinghan enough?" Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, the corners of his lips gradually flattened, and he asked meaningfully, his gaze deep, "Why did you invite me again?"

Ye Qiao knew exactly what he wanted to hear. She smiled and said, "Actually, I'd prefer to talk to you rather than him. Besides, only geniuses like you at this level can stop those powerful beings who are causing chaos."

Ye Qiao admired Qin Huai in many ways; at least he was truly ruthless, and love was of no interest to him.

Ye Qinghan is different. She's hopelessly infatuated with love.

Qin Huai liked hearing this, and he immediately chuckled and extended his hand: "Alright, then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Ye Qiao immediately shook hands with him, "It's a pleasure." It was simply too pleasant. Who wouldn't like to cooperate with a disciple of a high level? Cooperating with such a high level would make her entire trial much easier.

"Why are you trying to put me down?" Ye Qinghan couldn't help but ask.

Don't think he didn't realize that she was subtly and overtly using Qin Huai to belittle herself.

Ye Qiao smiled: "You're overthinking it. I still like you quite a bit."

She just spouts nonsense. Ye Qinghan pursed his lips. Where did Changming Sect find such a disciple who talks nonsense all the time?

Qin Huai curled his lips: "Actually, I still don't believe you. Yun Que is one of the few Heavenly Spiritual Roots in our cultivation world. The elders will protect her, and even if there is danger, they won't call on us."

Ye Qinghan nodded in agreement. Besides, Yun Que was always gentle and weak. What deadly danger could she possibly encounter?

Yun Que possesses a rare Heavenly Grade Water Spiritual Root in the cultivation world. Such a prodigy naturally attracts the admiration of many. Even Ye Qinghan was drawn to her by her high talent and hard work.

"Is that what you're thinking?" Ye Qiao asked meaningfully. In fact, she had never understood why Yun Que, who had a water spiritual root and whose spiritual root was taken from the original owner, should have a thunder spiritual root instead of a water spiritual root.

Ye Qinghan was confused as to why she was targeting Yun Que repeatedly, and couldn't help but declare, "Xiao Que is innocent. Why do you have such a strong opinion about her?"

Ye Qiao smiled enigmatically: "Are you sure she's completely innocent?"

"Of course," Ye Qinghan said. "She's a very good and gentle girl. You just don't know her well enough."

"You'll know when you meet them."

They are both direct disciples, so it's only a matter of time before they meet.

Ye Qiao almost laughed.

You know now, when the Three Realms are in chaos and all the powerful beings come to Yun Que to collect their debts of love, you'll know that you've finally been cuckolded, you idiot.

In the original story, when Yun Que was confronted and questioned by a group of men, Ye Qinghan was not present at all.

He arrived late to save the day, and that scene was a highlight for the male protagonist in the original work. As a young sword immortal, he threw out the Broken Water Sword and decided the fate of the world with one move, suddenly reaching the Fusion Realm and finally calming the turmoil.

As for who caused the trouble and what exactly happened, Yun Que glossed over it with a few words, and Ye Qinghan remained unaware of the details from beginning to end.

Whether in novels or in reality, his righteous persona is firmly established. This kind of arrogant and righteous protagonist cannot tolerate any wrongdoing.

If Ye Qinghan knew that he had long been cuckolded by Yun Que, she would know without a doubt that the two of them would break up.

Seeing Ye Qinghan's confident demeanor, Ye Qiao didn't waste any more words. She figured they'd see who was more pitiful eventually. "Let me ask you a question," she said. "If a spiritual root is extracted, will its attributes change depending on the host?"

Ye Qinghan replied without hesitation: "If the spiritual root hasn't grown up, and it's dug out when the original owner was very young and the spiritual root was very weak, it will change, depending on the host. However, this hasn't been confirmed, since such a wicked act as stealing someone's spiritual root is intolerable to heaven and earth."

Ye Qiao hissed, "I understand."

Thinking of Yun Que's cultivation level, she couldn't help but feel indignant for a few seconds. They were both born with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, so why could Yun Que travel a thousand miles a day so easily, while she had to borrow someone else's tribulation lightning to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?

Even if she breaks through the trial this time, she reckons that if the lightning tribulation isn't strong enough, it might not be enough.

It's definitely targeting her, isn't it?

Ye Qiao's expression was truly fascinating, and Qin Huai couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Are you jealous?" Yun Que's talent was indeed enviable.

Ye Qiao: "Yes."

It is shameful to discriminate against others.

Qin Huai was taken aback by her honesty.

"Ye Qinghan." After saying that, Ye Qiao didn't forget to mention Ye Qinghan again, and said with great interest, "See you in half a month. How about I take you to see a big show then?"

Anyway, when things get chaotic, it will definitely be very lively, and everyone can come and watch the show together.

Ye Qinghan had no idea what she was up to this time. He stared at her coldly for a moment, then turned and left without answering. "See you in half a month. If you dare to play me, you're dead."

After speaking, he turned and left. The young man was dressed in snow-white clothes with a sword hanging at his waist. He was aloof and untouched by the world. You could tell from his back that he was extremely arrogant.

Ye Qiao clicked her tongue twice. What a show-off!

But it's alright, he can't keep up the act for long, after all, he'll learn a lesson soon enough.

The road ahead is long, don't be too arrogant, the green hat will keep him from wandering aimlessly.

Qin Huai watched his retreating figure, stroking his chin, and muttered to himself, "Do you think he really didn't realize that the grassland on his head is already big enough for a horse to run on?"

As an outsider, he could see it clearly: Yun Que was adept at navigating social situations, manipulating her admirers with ease.

He didn't dislike ambitious people like Yun Que. Since ancient times, which successful master has been without ambition? In the cultivation world, only by doing everything possible to climb up can one speak with dignity.

However, Qin Huai did not want to have too much contact with such female cultivators, as they seemed quite troublesome.

Ye Qiao glanced at him. "Your sect seems a bit different from other sects, where people are always out dating?"

Other sects all follow the "love triangle" theme.

Only Chengfeng Sect is the only sect that remains uninvolved in the storyline, which is why Ye Qiaoqi first considered going to Chengfeng Sect.

However, Mu Chongxi had informed her beforehand that the sect said its cultivation methods were not suitable for female disciples, and therefore did not accept female cultivators.

At that time, the fourth senior brother even asserted unequivocally: "I will not accept female disciples; they are either transvestites or gay."

She suddenly realized that if the disciples of Chengfeng Sect didn't engage in ambiguous relationships with the popular female lead, they might all be following the dual male lead route.

Qin Huai: "Our Chengfeng Sect is devoted to the Dao. Naturally, we will not be troubled by love and romance."

He had strictly ordered all his fellow disciples to stay far away from Yun Que.

While the other four disciples were vying for Yun Que's affections, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, only the five members of the Chengfeng Sect were quietly working hard to attain enlightenment.

My family members were moved to tears.

*

Having finally dealt with these two troubles, Ye Qiao took a deep breath and hurried to finish drawing her talismans. During this time, her senior brother curiously made two talismans. Although he was not a talisman cultivator, he could tell that his junior sister had drawn them quite well.

As she painted, she used her own elixirs to fill the gap left by the overdraft in her sea of ​​consciousness. There was no other way; Xue Yu was eager to be Yun Que's lapdog. In this world, without her third senior brother's subsidies, she couldn't just lie back and relax, so she had no choice but to rely on herself.

During this period, Ye Qiao's success rate in drawing talismans and refining pills improved by leaps and bounds. She felt that refining pills alone was too inefficient, so she simply created fifty separate spirits that were exactly the same as herself.

Fifty people came together to refine elixirs.

No cultivator has ever done this before. After all, it requires extremely high standards for one's sea of ​​consciousness. Alchemy is not easy to begin with, and even the most knowledgeable cultivators cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. Moreover, using a divided spirit to refine pills is even more astonishing.

Because creating clones also consumes a lot of consciousness, Ye Qiao couldn't help but eat several more bowls of rice in one go, leaving the disciples inside and outside the sect somewhat dumbfounded.

"A glutton, a good-for-nothing?"

"Is Uncle Xie sure he didn't take her in just because she can eat a lot?"

"But can someone with an exceptional talent for eating be taken on as a personal apprentice?"

To be able to become a personal disciple, one must have certain extraordinary abilities. However, this disciple is quite mysterious, possessing nothing and spending her days either cooped up in her room or eating. What kind of useless senior sister did she take in?

It wasn't just the inner disciples who were discussing this.

Xie Chuxue was so despondent that she thought it best to just throw her away.

It seems she's completely useless right now, and she's even bankrupting their cafeteria.

Xue Yu: "I heard that a good-for-nothing has recently joined our sect?"

This is considered a rather euphemistic way of addressing someone.

Many disciples called her someone who came to Changming Sect to freeload.

Xie Chuxue fiddled with the abacus and sighed, "Yes, these next few days you should refine more pills and go down the mountain to resell them to supplement the sect's income. Don't just send them to Yun Que all day long; our sect is almost bankrupted."

The young man asked calmly, "Can I go see her?" He was very curious to know just what kind of eccentric this new disciple was.
