Fairies, please don't talk to me about love

Xuan Feng became excited when he thought of Ji Yuanqing lowering his head to ask him for money in the future.

"call......"

After Ye Lingtian put away the equipment, he took a deep breath.

"Xuan Feng, Zhang Ruyi came to see me, and I've already told you that she shouldn't bother you anymore in the future."

“Well, well done!”

The more Xuan Feng looks at Ye Lingtian, the more she likes him.

How could Ji Yuanqing have the ability to have such a worry-free disciple?

"Also, she said there will be a disciple competition in a month, and all new disciples must participate..."

"Is there still this?"

Xuan Feng became interested.

Her biggest purpose in coming here was to show off, and secondly to better help Ye Lingtian find opportunities.

Now that she has the chance to show off, she will definitely not miss it.

Chapter 23: A Man of Temperament

During this month, Ye Lingtian did not slack off at all and put all his energy into refining the elixir.

Yes, it is used in alchemy, why not practice it?

No matter how powerful he is, he can't cultivate to the level of Golden Elixir in a month to defeat those people, so he just lies down. At worst, he can sell a book of skills for some money.

Xuan Feng, on the contrary, seemed to be very interested in this matter. He kept pretending to practice in front of others and then jumped directly to the initial stage of foundation building.

This incident received a lukewarm response. After all, compared with her sword skills that crushed the core disciples, this was just a bonus.

----

"Brother Ye, if I face you in this competition, I will do my best."

The seven new members of Qinglin Peak gathered together, preparing to go to the sect’s main peak, the foot of Qingyun Peak, to participate in the competition.

Normally, the leaders of each mountain would personally lead their teams to participate in this kind of competition within the sect, but as mentioned before, this place is not ordinary. Those old disciples were just left alone by Ye Qinglin, and Ye Qinglin was rumored to never attend or participate in various activities.

So they had to form their own group.

"Brother Lu, I'm afraid I can't stand your cultivation at the middle stage of Danhua!"

Lu Jianxin stood beside Meng Ming and smiled with relief.

If I use my skills to fight you, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Just as they formed teams of two or three and then formed a circle for cross-team communication, a cold voice appeared in the minds of everyone present.

"I will personally lead the team for this competition. We will gather in front of the main hall on the top of the mountain in an hour."

The lively atmosphere was suddenly ended by this message, and they all looked towards the top of the mountain at the same time.

Didn’t they say that she wouldn’t attend various events?

......

An hour later, they reached the top of the mountain and saw Ye Qinglin, who was still dressed simply and behaved coldly.

"Are you all ready?"

"All right."

"Then let's go."

Ye Qinglin walked in front to lead the way. They followed behind her and didn't dare to say anything. There was nothing they could do. She was really a master of making the crowd feel cold. Just by standing there and saying a word, everyone felt as if they were in an icy cave.

'Has she always been like this?'

Xuan Feng whispered to Ye Lingtian.

Ye Lingtian nodded.

Not really, after all, these things cannot be said to be innate, they are acquired due to environmental and other factors.

Ye Qinglin had been living in a repressive atmosphere since she was a child, which Ye Lingtian knew. Even if he tried to make Ye Qinglin happy in various ways, she would only smile slightly, which was obviously different from Lingyun who was always smiling in her previous life.

He stared at Ye Qinglin's back, and Ye Qinglin seemed to sense something. She looked back at him, then smiled and turned around to continue leading the way.

'. . . '

"Did Master just smile?"

Seeing this, Lu Jianxin hurriedly asked Meng Ming, who had been silent beside him.

"should be."

Meng Ming almost thought he had seen it wrong.

I have to say that Ye Qinglin is really good-looking. She is the type that makes you stunning at first sight and you won’t get tired of looking at her even if you look at her a few more times.

Although my sister is also very pretty, she always has a stern face as if everyone owes her money...

After walking for a while, they saw Qingyun Peak.

This peak is easy to identify and is considered a landmark in the sect. Not only is it high, but it is also surrounded by white clouds starting from the mountainside and can be seen even from outside the mountain gate.

The area around it is also very lively now. In addition to the disciples who are going to participate in the competition, there are also many old disciples who come to watch.

When they arrived, they attracted everyone's attention, naturally because of Ye Qinglin.

"The master of Qinglin Peak has come down the mountain again!"

The last time she came down the mountain, she won herself the title of the most beautiful woman. Now that she appears again, I'm afraid this title will be even more solid.

Ye Qinglin didn't care about these looks. She took Ye Lingtian and others directly into the competition venue and found a relatively quiet place to sit down.

After Ye Qinglin found a seat for them, he walked to the platform prepared for the elders and sat with his back facing them.

"Hey, Brother Ye, did you see that Master just smiled? Well, if she keeps smiling like this and goes to Zhongzhou, I'm afraid that the most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou who has never been heard from will be squeezed out."

Zhang Ruyi sat on Ye Lingtian's right, holding Xuan Feng in her arms. On his left were four other men sitting together.

They were not subordinates. Knowing that these two women had relationships with Ye Lingtian, they consciously avoided suspicion.

"That's not necessarily true. Since the most beautiful woman in your Zhongzhou has been admired for so long, she must be..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Ruyi's gossiping look and Xuan Feng's contemptuous look interrupted him.

"Oh? Brother Ye also knows the most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou?"

Lu Jianxin, who was just about to tell some basic information about that extraordinary woman, saw that Ye Lingtian knew her, and he smiled a smile that all men can understand.

"I really didn't realize that Brother Ye is also a man of temperament."

"Uh--ahem, no, I just happened to hear about it from a senior from Zhongzhou."

"I see... If possible, I really want to meet that legendary woman. My grandfather talks about her every day. The more he talks about her, the more curious I am. So I want to look for her portrait. They say that the painters at that time could not depict her beauty. I wondered, is she really that beautiful? Alas, it's a pity that she has been missing for so long, I guess she is no longer in this world."

Meng Ming on the side also rarely interjected.

"Me too. I've heard my father talk about that woman every day since I was a kid."

"Brother Meng's elders too?"

"I think all the visionary men of that era were like this... The other elders I know are also like this."

Ye Lingtian silently rolled down his sleeves and hid the jade bracelet.

Chapter 24 Zhang Ruyi's Sword

Soon, all the elders from each peak arrived.

Almost the same, they all looked at Ye Qinglin in surprise before sitting down.

"Why is she here?"

"It's rare to see this guy going out. Could it be that he has changed his personality?"

The elder who spoke saw that the elders around her were so cold that they were speechless, so she simply ignored the idea.

"Okay, is everyone here?"

The white-bearded old man appeared in the center of the ring and spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.

He was the elder who organized the sect admission test. Since he was the one who brought the people in, he naturally had to continue to be responsible.

"There are 101 people joining the sect this time, so there will be byes at the beginning. I won't mention the rest. Please come up and draw lots one by one."

The rules are very simple. Those who draw the same numbers will become opponents. There will be no byes in the third round, and there will be byes in the fourth and fifth rounds. In the sixth round, there will be only four people participating in the semi-finals.

Because this competition is simply for awarding rewards, it will not be held very slowly and will be completed around sunset, so there will be very little time left for the disciples to rest, and the qualification for a bye becomes particularly precious.

The disciples sitting in the contestant seats came forward in an orderly manner to draw lots, and they all hoped that they could draw a bye.

The more rest you can have, the greater your chances of winning, right?

It was Ye Lingtian's turn. He took out a stick from the bucket with 50 written on it.

Following closely behind was Zhang Ruyi, who drew 31, the same number as her own cave.

"Little Ji Xuan, it's your turn."

Zhang Ruyi picked up Xuanfeng and allowed her to put her hand into the bucket.

"That girl is so young..."

"Don't underestimate her. It is said that her sword skills can completely defeat the core disciples. However, she had not practiced for a month. I wonder if she has been practicing for a month————huh?"

When the elder who was speaking released his spiritual energy, he almost thought that he had made a mistake in his perception.

You’ve reached the initial stage of foundation building in just one month?

Just as the elders were discussing, the white-bearded old man moved his mind, and the bye lot in the lottery bucket flew directly into Xuan Feng's hand.

"Got it, wow! Sister Ruyi, it's a bye!"

Xuan Feng pretended to be surprised and picked up the bye sign to show off to Zhang Ruyi.

Seeing that the bye had been drawn, the people behind him stopped trying to use any metaphysics and moved much faster.

To be honest, Ye Lingtian felt that things like byes were manipulated by humans.

Maybe because he was cheated by Zhang Wan, he is particularly sensitive to random events like byes. Why did it have to be Xuan Feng?

When he thought of the white-bearded elder, he felt relieved.

"In that case, let's go back quickly. Our numbers are low and we have to watch dozens of games before it's our turn."

"Ah."

The three of them returned to their seats and found that only Meng Ming was missing from Qinglin Peak.

"Brother Lu, where are Meng Ming and the others?"

Lu Jianxin pointed at the stage.

"He drew number one and went straight on stage."

Looking towards the stage, Meng Ming was indeed standing on the south side of the ring with a sword in his hand.

However, the other side was slow to arrive.

"Qinyin Peak disciple Qian Wu surrenders!"

The white-bearded old man shouted loudly, and then signaled Meng Ming that he could step down.

Meng Ming nodded in response and walked off the stage.

"Brother Meng is still too unfair. A 29-year-old middle-stage Jindan comes to compete with us. This time, he may very well be the champion."

"Why did he come to Qingyun Sword Sect like this?"
