Ning Yue and Duan Huailin ran out as if they were fleeing, afraid of being caught and not being allowed to leave.

"We're so lucky," everyone remarked, looking in the direction Ning Yue and Duan Huailin had left.

"The next batch of people who come in won't receive personal guidance from Senior Sister Ning and Senior Brother Duan."

"Yes, yes..." the crowd couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, you can all go out now." Sect Leader Ye opened the door.

"It's probably Senior Brother Duan who led you to the rest area. Just go out and find him."

The disciples nodded and were about to leave.

Suddenly, a disciple asked in confusion, "Hey? Who's our chief disciple? Hasn't the ranking been decided yet?"

The air fell silent for a moment. Everyone exchanged glances, then turned their gaze to Sect Leader Ye.

Sect Leader Ye: "..."

I completely forgot about it.

The original plan was to let them fight Ning Yue and Duan Huailin, and then determine the winners based on their individual strengths.

Unfortunately, these people couldn't tell the difference between Ning Yue and Duan Huailin at all...

Not to mention ranking a group of people who are indistinguishable from one another.

Sect Leader Ye regained his calm and collected demeanor and reached out to close the door.

Everyone watched helplessly as the door they were about to leave through disappeared before their eyes.

???

Sect Leader Ye calmly said, "...Let's start again, two people per team, for the duel."

Everyone: "...?!"

Can you please stop doing this?!

……

Ning Yue and Duan Huailin had already fled long ago.

Just then, the disciples of the Pill Sect came out.

As Jiang Yishen busied himself with his disciples, he looked at Ning Yue with a resentful expression.

Ning Yue blinked, looked at them lining up, and smiled at Jiang Yishen: "Senior brother, are you leaving?"

Jiang Yishen nodded subconsciously: "Yes, this batch has all assembled..."

The disciples next to Jiang Yishen all looked on incredulously, staring wide-eyed at Ning Yue and swallowing hard.

"This...could it be...Ning Yue!?"

Ning Yue bowed slightly and waved to them: "Hello."

Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths agape, forgetting even to greet her, staring blankly at the girl who was greeting them.

"This must be Ningyue... This must be Ningyue!"

"Really?! Then I've met him in person?!"

Jiang Yishen frowned almost imperceptibly, quickly told everyone to line up, and turned to Ning Yue.

"Junior Sister, Senior Brother Duan, I'll take them with me now. See you later."

Ning Yue nodded: "Bye-bye."

Duan Huailin nodded, "I'll go over there later too."

Ning Yue then began to examine the doors in front of her.

She has now entered the Sword Sect, the Pill Sect, and the Array Sect.

She hadn't been inside the remaining ones before, and the only one she was really interested in now was the talisman.

Unfortunately, Song Yishi is not here now.

Duan Huailin immediately saw what Ning Yue was thinking: "Senior Sister Song should be alright now."

"...Nothing's wrong?" Ning Yue looked at Duan Huailin.

"Hmm." Duan Huailin nodded. "The sect originally assigned a task, but Senior Sister Song declined it."

Ning Yue's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go find Senior Sister Song!"

Duan Huailin smiled slightly: "Go ahead, I'll wait here for the array cultivator disciple."

After saying that, his tone became somewhat puzzled, and he glanced twice in the direction of the array gate: "Strange, why haven't they come out yet?"

Logically, they should have come out right after him and Ning Yue.

Is something holding you back?

As he was pondering this, Ning Yue vanished without a trace using a teleportation array.

Before he could figure it out, Ning Yue used another teleportation array to bring Song Yishi here.

Duan Huailin: "..." That was fast.

"Junior Sister...?" Song Yishi rubbed her eyes, looked around, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ning Yue excitedly grabbed Song Yishi's hand and pointed to the talisman gate: "Senior Sister, it's really interesting inside! Let's go in and have some fun!"

Song Yishi opened his eyes, staring intently at the talisman gate, and quickly said, "Hmm!"

Ning Yue happily took Song Yishi's hand and skipped and hopped towards the direction of the talisman gate.

"Yay!"

The talisman elder outside the mirror stone cheered, "Ning Yue has finally entered the talisman sect! He wasn't waiting in vain!"

The weapon-refining elder looked at the mirror stone with dissatisfaction: "Really, it made it into the first three times already, and now it's made it again."

The elder in charge of law enforcement shook his head smugly: "Who told Xiao Yue to have such a deep bond with these three sects? Hahaha..."

The Beast Taming Elder supported the Weapon Forging Elder: "It should be distributed fairly! Last time it was the Sword Core Formation, this time it's the Talisman Beasts!"

"Hehehe..." The elder in charge of law enforcement tugged at his beard. "Feeling jealous? I'm not going to come in, hahaha!"

The Beast Taming Elder and the Weapon Forging Elder both smiled amicably and walked step by step toward the Enforcement Elder.

"What did you just say?"

The elder of law enforcement nimbly leaped onto his sword: "Fine, if you didn't hear me, hahaha! I'm outta here!"

The weapon-refining elder and the beast-taming elder exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with speechlessness.

……

Just shortly after Ning Yue and Song Yishi entered the talisman gate hand in hand, the disciples inside the array gate finally emerged.

They all looked completely exhausted, and almost collapsed on the ground as soon as they came out.

Duan Huailin quickly cast a spell to support them and asked, "What happened? Why did it take you so long to come out?"

He's been thinking about this for a long time.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples immediately showed resentful expressions and said wearily.

"The seniors of the Formation Sect didn't assign a chief position or order, so after you senior brothers left, they made us compete again."

"Team up in pairs and compete against each other."

Duan Huailin remained silent: "..."

Now that things had come to this, he didn't know what to say.

So he immediately changed the subject: "Let's not delay, I'll take you to rest, we still need to test your spiritual roots later."

Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately helped each other up, intending to follow Duan Huailin's steps.

This speed not only depletes the disciples' physical strength but also wastes their time.

Duan Huailin frowned slightly, stopping everyone's actions: "Wait for me a moment."

The disciples all looked at Duan Huailin with puzzled expressions: "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Duan Huailin acted swiftly, directly modifying the teleportation array into one capable of accommodating multiple people simultaneously.

He smiled at his stunned disciples and said, "Seeing that you're all exhausted, and since we're still quite a distance from where we'll rest, let's use the teleportation array."

Angels!!!

The disciples' eyes immediately lit up with tears of emotion.

"Senior Brother Duan, you're so kind!"

"Senior Brother Duan! I love you!"

"Senior Brother Duan, I'll serve you tea and water from now on!"

Duan Huailin smiled slightly, said nothing, and waved his hand—

A gentle light immediately enveloped everyone, and silence returned to the area in front of the trial gate.
