The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The voice was clear and melodious, like snow falling on a pine tree in winter. As soon as it opened its mouth, the crowd, which had been as lively as a market, fell into an eerie silence.

The young man froze for a few moments, his gaze stiffly shifting from Yan Qing to Lin Du, then he took a step back in disbelief, his eyes sweeping back and forth between the four people.

"So your name is Lin Du?"

Lin Du nodded, "Absolutely genuine."

The young man sensed something was wrong, so he stared intently at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see Lin Du's bones through an X-ray. Anyone would be annoyed if they were stared at like that.

The man spoke again, his tone languid.

"Have you finished watching? If you want to watch more, it's a paid service, twenty spirit stones per person."

A group of people felt that the words sounded familiar.

"Junior Uncle, why did you raise the price?"

Lin Du smiled slightly, "Oh, because talent is the most important factor, so the fee is doubled."

Once she's on the list of successful candidates, she'll collect one hundred coins all by herself.

Lin Du knows how to quote prices.

The young man was stunned. He looked at the excessively thin bamboo pole in front of him. The little face was as white as paper, surrounded by a circle of white fox fur. He felt that he could punch the bamboo pole and make it vomit blood. Perhaps if he made a slightly louder sound, the bamboo pole would be unable to withstand it. He was speechless for a moment.

He raised his hand and scratched his head, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowing. "How could you be Lin Du?"

"How could Lin Du be like this?"

Lin Du smiled. "Then what do you think Lin Du should be like?"

Not only the sword cultivator, but everyone looked at Lin Du with complicated expressions. How could the number one talent on the Qingyun Ranking be a sickly person?

Even if she has a beautiful face, she still looks like she has a short life ahead of her.

How could someone like that have the greatest talent in the world?

The gazes falling on Lin Du were unusually colorful; some felt sorry for him, some questioned him, and some were disdainful.

"So the number one talent is actually a sickly person." Someone sneered.

"Could it be that Heaven has made a mistake?"

"Can the laws of Heaven err?"

The way of Heaven cannot be wrong; the only one who can be wrong is Lin Du.

"What a waste."

"Greatly disappointed."

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Everyone thought that the person with the most talent was some kind of amazing person, but they never expected that she was a sickly person with obvious congenital deficiencies. Even from several feet away, they could smell the faint bitter smell of medicine that she had been taking for many years.

Ni Jinxuan frowned, put her hands on her hips, and said loudly, "Who do you think you are? Our junior uncle achieved Foundation Establishment in just two months. Can you do that?"

Lin Du chuckled and covered her ears before anyone could retort. "Don't listen."

She had expected this long ago; there will always be people who disagree with being number one in everything, right?

Especially when you realize that this number one is nothing special.

From childhood to adulthood, especially after becoming a self-media creator, she has heard many unpleasant things. These things only make her want to laugh, but Ni Jinxuan is a pure-hearted girl and is not suited to hear such things.

Lin Du felt that it was better not to let her hear some of the things he said.

Ni Jinxuan felt as if a cold jade had suddenly touched both of her ears. The hands were not warm, and even a little cold and hard, but she felt inexplicably better.

The swordsman looked at Lin Du and asked, "Can you fight?"

Lin Du didn't even lift his eyelids to look at him. "Do you think I can?"

Okay, those who were waiting to learn from the number one talent stopped their restless hearts.

Bullying a sickly person is nothing to brag about, even if that sickly person is the most talented.

Lin Du smiled as he watched the impending conflict quietly dissipate. He withdrew his hands from Ni Jinxuan's ears, letting them fall back to their heavy fox fur coats. A hint of ferocity flashed in his half-closed eyes.

She was just cannon fodder sent by the system to sever any extraneous connections.

To be precise, Lin Du's current nature can be described as that of a vicious villain.

Lin Du was never a great philanthropist.

She was incredibly annoyed.

The more annoyed Lin Du was, the more genuine his smile became.

So when Ni Jinxuan saw that smiling face, all her anger disappeared. She said, "Junior Uncle, just you wait and see. When we come out of the secret realm, the spiritual treasures that our Supreme Sect retrieves will definitely be number one."

It's probably in the nature of the people of Zhongzhou that they always like to make rankings. Secret realms that have been discovered by predecessors and opened regularly, especially those marked by sects for their disciples to train, are ranked according to their gains, and it is also a matter of how many more years the secret realm needs to be nurtured before it can be opened again.

Lin Du echoed, "That's for sure."

The person brought by the Supreme Sect this time was Master Juyuan, who was invited to oversee the event and was invited to the main hall.

The room was already full, but as soon as he entered, everyone stood up.

Ju Yuan respectfully bowed before taking his seat in the center.

A disciple from the Jishi Sect casually remarked, "Did Lin Du from your sect come this time?"

Ju Yuan nodded. "They're here."

The mere mention of the name Lin Du would set everyone's ears on high alert.

"Oh, is she alright?" Junqian had heard from the people who went to the disciple-acceptance ceremony that Lin Du was born with a deficiency and was physically weak. He wondered if the Supreme Sect, which had been desperately scavenging resources outside all these years, could take good care of her.

"Very good, three big bowls of rice and two steamed buns for one meal, is there something wrong?" Ju Yuan has cooked quite a few times, because his two disciples are both hungry, so he is quite familiar with Lin Du's appetite.

Master Junqian of the Jishi Sect was stunned. "Huh?"

He then laughed, "You're quite the joker."

Ju Yuan lifted her eyelids. "Do you think I'm joking?"

Junqian's laughter stopped abruptly as if he had been choked. He glanced at Juyuan's expression, which didn't seem fake, and looked again.

No, that sickly little bamboo pole doesn't look like it could eat three big bowls in one meal at all.

"Hey, the secret realm has opened."

With that sound, a burst of golden light suddenly flashed in the previously empty space in front of the table.

This year, everyone won't be like lonely old people squatting outside the secret realm waiting for their mischievous kids to come out, because Master Juyuan of the Supreme Sect brought a magical artifact.

This magical artifact isn't particularly precious, but its power lies in its ability to merge with the sky of the small world, allowing these lonely old people to see what the children are doing.

Having this is like having a third eye. Although it is not completely clear, for example, it cannot see through trees and caves, but as long as it is on the ground, it can see everything clearly.

Ju Yuan looked at the water mirror and thought of his junior uncle's instructions to pay close attention to Lin Du's message, and felt that something was amiss.

Yan Ye's array formations are considered the best in the world. Many people dream of having him inscribe arrays, but he hasn't taken on a single order since he reached the Formless Realm. However, for Lin Du's sake, he actually took the initiative to draw the array diagram for the Heavenly Eye and gave it to He Gui, asking him to forge the Heavenly Eye.

It turns out that no matter how capable or easygoing a person is, once they become a master, they will become like an old father, worrying about everything.

Ju Yuan had no doubt that if Lin Du really had an accident in the secret realm, Yan Ye would have him tear open the secret realm and bring Lin Du out.
