These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

39. Is it fun?

"Senior brother...you don't look very well...didn't you sleep last night?"

Despite his hesitation, Luo Kang still asked the question.

Actually, he noticed yesterday that his senior brother was not in a good mood. Although he usually rarely spoke, he was usually calm and gentle, but these past two days he had been somewhat depressed and even gloomy.

He has the kind of appearance that makes people afraid to bother him, as if he would get angry if you said just one word to him.

Luo Kang realized that something might have happened, but he had only been here for two or three days, so what could have happened?

The only possible one is the girl that Yuan Jiacao went out to look for the day before yesterday... Their relationship wasn't so smooth.

The reason for asking this question now is that in a little while they will all appear together in front of the Baoguang Hall of the Yuanjian Sect. At that time, they will face all the disciples of the Yuanjian Sect, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes... After all, it's not just one person who will lose face.

Moreover, Yuan Jia Cao is the best among them.

Yuan Jiacao glanced at Luo Kang with a sullen face.

Luo Kang was so frightened by that look that he took a step back. He actually saw a cold and ruthless look in Yuan Jiacao's eyes.

It was as if it were about to tear someone apart and devour them whole.

This is a quality rarely seen in Yuan Jiacao; it seems he never showed such an expression when he killed that evil dragon...

However, Yuan Jiacao quickly noticed Luo Kang's actions and abruptly averted her gaze, becoming calm and composed.

He shook his head.

"It's nothing, I'm just not used to it here yet."

"Oh...oh, that's good. You're going to be on stage later, senior brother...I'm worried you might not be feeling well."

"It's ok."

"Um……"

Yuan Jiacao simply answered in this way, but Luo Kang had no idea what kind of determination he had made in his heart.

The group left the temporary residence in a grand procession, and the sun was already shining brightly on the horizon.

It shines upon everyone.

Yuan Jiacao also raised his head, looking at the sunlight, but it seemed unable to warm the coldness in his eyes.

-

"Senior Brother Qiao!"

"Oh, Junior Brother Li."

On the square in front of Baoguang Hall, many disciples gathered from all directions. They were assigned positions according to the hilltops. Although there were many people and a lot of people, they were arranged in a well-organized manner.

The two of them went to another place, to the side of the steps of Baoguang Hall, where several seats had been specially prepared for them.

He was clearly different from the other ordinary disciples.

This was prepared for the elders of the Yuanjian Sect and the disciples who would be going into battle later.

Li Hanyang thought that the honest and simple-minded Gong Ziqi was a fool and naturally looked down on him. He was only lucky to have such a good job, otherwise he wouldn't have a place here.

Looking at him now, he's still smiling sheepishly at me.

As for Bai Youwei... Li Hanyang had also harbored feelings for this young, attractive, and beautiful woman, but he quickly gave up, not entirely because he had met Su Mi.

It's because Bai Youwei has a special identity. She is not only one of the best among the younger generation of Xuejian Peak, but also a personal disciple of Lin Ruoyin, the peak master of Xuejian Peak. Lin Ruoyin keeps a close watch on Bai Youwei. Any male disciple who speaks an extra word to Bai Youwei will be reminded. If he really has any ulterior motives, Lin Ruoyin probably won't care whether he is from Qingting Peak or not.

Therefore, Li Hanyang was naturally more enthusiastic about Qiao Zhiheng, who was reliable in terms of both qualifications and ability.

In his view, it is meaningful for strong people to talk to each other, and as for Wei Tu... he is just an opportunistic and petty person.

"Judging from how calm and collected you are, you must be absolutely certain of victory in today's competition."

Li Hanyang smiled and complimented him.

Qiao Zhiheng's expression was calm, befitting his senior brother status.

"What are you saying? The disciples of Lu Chen Sect are no ordinary people. No one dares to say they are absolutely certain."

"Hehe, that's true... Senior brother, you're so thoughtful."

While Li Hanyang said this, he was thinking something completely different: Who are you trying to show off to? The one with the biggest ego, whose mouth is practically stretched to the back of his head, is still saying you're insecure?

The two of them continued to offer insincere compliments.

Several elders also came over, including Yuan Wei, Lin Ruoyin, and Lu Qingyan.

Ran Xinxue had not yet arrived, and as the head of a sect, she certainly wouldn't sit here with them.

Several elders and peak masters exchanged pleasantries with their disciples, but Li Hanyang noticed that Lu Qingyan was simply sitting in her seat, staring coldly at the open space. Looking at this beauty's extremely cold and aloof face, Li Hanyang thought of something.

He looked at his master.

"Master...it seems...there's still someone who hasn't arrived."

Yuan Wei naturally knew who Li Hanyang was talking about.

He smiled.

"Hey, Hanyang, you know, it's good that there are few people on this mountain. Every disciple is treated like a treasure, and I don't know how spoiled they'll become."

Li Hanyang was well aware of his master's ability to speak in a strange and unpredictable way, and he had learned to imitate him to some extent.

"Yes... Master, you said he had such a grand display, making us disciples wait is one thing, but making you and several elders wait too... He's really getting more and more high-profile."

Lu Qingyan naturally heard it, and it was hard for her not to hear it. After all, the two of them were talking so loudly that the disciples of Lu Chen Sect not far away probably heard it as well.

Lu Qingyan was used to these sarcastic remarks and never took them to heart.

After all, they were all from the same sect and held the same position as elders. Since his methods of killing were second to none, he didn't take these people seriously.

The reason it sounded so jarring at that moment was because they were mentioning not only themselves, but also the boy who had been late in arriving.

So Lu Qingyan simply stood up.

He walked directly in front of Yuan Wei and Li Hanyang, staring at them with cold eyes.

"Since we haven't started yet, I've been itching for a fight lately. Elder Yuan, how about we have a match first?"

Yuan Wei was stunned, not expecting this woman to be so direct.

Everyone knows that Xiaoyuan Peak's swordsmanship is unorthodox, powerful and ruthless. Moreover, Lu Qingyan is young and strong, and her cultivation level is already too high to suppress, not to mention her inferior skills.

Yuan Wei was taken aback for a moment and immediately said, "Elder Lu, what are you saying... This is a very important matter for the sect, don't act recklessly!"

Li Hanyang was also startled, taken aback by the woman's fierce protectiveness.

He immediately echoed his master's words.

"Yes, Elder Lu, my master and I were just stating the truth... It's not worth getting hurt over a disciple who doesn't even return to your own sect..."

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed across the square.

This immediately attracted the attention of all the elders and disciples nearby, who looked at this side with surprise and uncertainty.

Yuan Wei's pupils trembled violently.

Li Hanyang, who was covering his face and whose mouth was dripping with blood, was even more shocked.

They watched in panic as the woman attacked without warning, giving them no chance to retaliate.

He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Lu Qingyan, however, looked at him coldly.

"I'm speaking to Elder Yuan, what right do you have to interrupt? Since you don't know the rules, I'll teach you. Elder Yuan, you don't mind, do you?"

"Lu Qingyan... don't push your luck! You're so protective of your disciple, is it because he's scared and doesn't dare to come?!"

Lu Qingyan turned her head to look at the furious Yuan Wei.

Then take a step closer.

Yuan Wei was instantly enraged, and he... took a step back!

"What...are you doing!"

Lu Qingyan ignored Yuan Wei's blustering but cowardly actions and simply said indifferently.

"My disciples from Little Iris Peak may lose fights, and their cultivation may not be as good as others. But we will never be cowards. Elder Yuan, if you think I'm wrong, then fine, let's settle this with our swords, shall we?"

Yuan Wei was so angry that his beard almost stood askew, but no one stood up to speak for him.

Because they all knew that if Lu Qingyan got angry... even Ran Xinxue couldn't stop her.

Just then, footsteps came from beside me.

Wearing a light and elegant white dress, Ran Xinxue, the leader of a sect, strolled down the steps, smiling as she looked at the group.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Yuan Wei, who was in the wrong, naturally couldn't offer a reason, and Lu Qingyan, who had hit him, had no interest in it either.

Ran Xinxue smiled as she looked at the group, and seeing the bloodstains at the corner of Li Hanyang's mouth and his swollen cheek, she naturally understood what had happened.

She looked at Lu Qingyan.

"Hai Tu hasn't arrived yet?"

Lu Qingyan nodded.

There was no explanation, and it seemed that no explanation was necessary.

Ran Xinxue sighed, seemingly helpless.

"After all, so many people are waiting. Qingyan, you should go and look for them, just in case something has happened."

Lu Qingyan's eyes struggled for a moment. If she went to find him herself, what could she do if he really didn't want to come? He didn't even acknowledge her as his master anymore!

It was utterly rebellious... but there was nothing that could be done.

She didn't want to be a master who had to bow down to his disciples.

And just as this woman was unusually hesitant and struggling with her decision—
