Zheng Chucan quickly became focused, the sword in his hand kept turning over and over, and when he swung the sword, it released powerful spiritual power, heading straight towards Xie Yunshu.

The next moment, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Xie Yunshu's throat.

"I lost." Xie Yunshu cupped her hands and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Not only Zheng Chucan was confused, but everyone present was confused.

It shouldn't be like this. Xie Yunshu was clearly in the upper hand, so how could she suddenly lose? Most people were actually optimistic about Xie Yunshu, thinking that she would continue to win.

I didn't expect it to end so suddenly.

"Yeah!" Qin Yan cheered. She would be happy as long as Xie Yunshu lost, but she couldn't stand seeing her do well.

Her sudden cheers stood out in the crowd, and the disciples of Tianwen Sect seemed to have not yet reacted. They did not expect it to end so suddenly.

He paused for a few seconds before cheering along with Qin Yan.

Shangguan Yao looked at Qin Yan's actions and couldn't help but snorted, "I don't know what you are so proud of. Yun Shu has been injured and hasn't recovered yet. You have the nerve to cheer for an unfair victory."

She deliberately spoke loudly so that many monks around her heard it.

"No wonder, I said Xie Yunshu couldn't possibly lose so quickly." Someone suddenly realized what Shangguan Yao said and spoke up immediately.

"Then this Xie Yunshu is indeed not simple. She dared to be the first to go to the ring even though she was injured."

"As expected of Sect Master Xie's daughter, she is different..."

For a time, Xie Yunshu's reputation improved.

Qin Yan was unhappy after hearing Shangguan Yao's words, "Then who let her play with an injury? Are you blaming my senior brother for the loss? It's not us who forced her to play with an injury."

After saying that, Qin Yan rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yao.

Song Lanyue couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she heard Qin Yan's words, and she felt in her heart that she was absolutely right.

Then, she watched Xie Yunshu come down from the stage and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Xie Yunshu naturally also noticed Song Lanyue's gaze. The two looked at each other, and Xie Yunshu smiled at her for the first time.

What is Xie Yunshu doing again?

With her strength, she is capable of more than that. With her personality, she would never be as calm as she is now after losing the competition so quickly.

……

The sect leader who was sitting on the stage with Xie Yan couldn't help but praise Xie Yunshu. They really didn't expect Xie Yunshu to play with an injury. It was too risky.

"Yun Shu is a good kid. She has improved a lot compared to last time."

"Yeah, he's the first person to play with an injury, and he didn't feel too angry after losing the competition."

Xie Yan's face broke into laughter when he heard these compliments, but he still had to maintain a humble expression: "You all praise this girl too much, she just has a better temper than the average person."

……

At noon.

The competition was stopped and would continue in the afternoon. All the monks gathered in the square dispersed at this moment. The sun was too strong at this time and most of them chose to stay cool under the trees.

Song Lanyue and others planned to go back to the small courtyard to rest. When they were about to leave, they found that Gu Yunci was missing.

"Don't worry about him, he won't disappear." Ye Jinse waved her hand, not caring at all about where Gu Yunci went, and was about to leave while pulling Song Lanyue.

Song Lanyue said weakly: "Are you really not going to look for Fifth Senior Brother?"

The rest of the people from Qingyun Sect all shook their heads. They all knew that Gu Yunci was a wild person and would not wait patiently to watch the competition. He must be lying down somewhere and sleeping right now.

As they were about to go back, a cultivator wearing the uniform of an unknown sect said breathlessly, "It's bad! It's bad! There's a conflict between your people and the disciples of Xuanling Sect, and a fight is about to break out!"

When Song Lanyue and others heard this, they didn't have to think about it, only Gu Yunci was the one.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for delivering the message." Song Lanyue bowed to thank the monk who brought them the message.

"You're welcome. You're welcome." When the monk heard Song Lanyue's words, he quickly waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome.

Everyone quickened their pace and followed the monk over there.

*

"Humph, a mere small sect dares to act wildly in our Xuanling Sect's territory?"

Gu Yunci was so angry that he laughed out loud: "I was sleeping soundly here. I wonder who would be so blind as to break into the formation I set up and blame me after getting hurt?"

"My junior brother was walking fine, but he was injured by you for no apparent reason! Isn't it your fault?" A male cultivator stood in front of Gu Yunci and confronted him.

For a moment, the atmosphere was deadlocked and a fight was about to break out.

When Song Lanyue and others arrived, Song Lanyue recognized the several cultivators who were opposed to Gu Yunci at the first sight. The leader was Zhou Yuan, the chief disciple of the third elder, and the injured one was the third elder's son.

Everyone in Xuanling Sect knew that the Third Elder especially doted on his son, so Zhou Yuan also doted on his master's son.

In her past memories, she had been bullied by this man many times.

"Junior sister, who is this person?" Zhu Yunqing looked at Zhou Yuan's arrogant look and couldn't help asking.

Song Lanyue sneered: "The leader is called Zhou Yuan, the chief disciple of the Third Elder. The injured is the Third Elder's beloved son. This time he dared to be so arrogant because of the support of the Third Elder."

"Zhou Yuan knew that the Third Elder would never let go of anyone who hurt his precious son."

There seemed to be a lot of controversy over there, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly heavy.

"To fight or not? Just one word!" Gu Yunci saw that Song Lanyue and others had arrived and didn't want to waste any more time talking to them.

Zhou Yuan was also an impatient person. “Just fight me, who’s afraid of you?” He had always disliked the people of Qingyun Sect, especially that sickly guy Song Lanyue who was expelled from the sect and was living so well now.

Zhou Yuan drew out his sword and looked at Gu Yunci viciously, but Gu Yunci looked at the opposite side calmly without opening the folding fan in his hand.

Xie Changci suddenly stood up and said, "There is another rule in the Sword Questioning Conference, which prohibits private fighting."

The people standing nearby watching the show all remembered that there was indeed such a rule because of Xie Changci's words.

Zhou Yuan seemed to have just realized it, and was immediately afraid. If he really took action, the sect leader would probably not let him go. However, he was unwilling to just swallow this anger.

"What? Are you scared?" Zhou Yuan asked provocatively.

Gu Yunci was immediately provoked by him. Just as he was about to speak, Song Lanyue beat him to the punch: "Afraid? Are you kidding? Even if ten of you and my senior brothers came, they would be more than enough to deal with you."

"How dare you, a Nascent Soul built up by pills, shout here?"

Song Lanyue looked at Zhou Yuan with disdain. All the disciples of Xuanling Sect knew that Zhou Yuan's cultivation was built up by the elixirs of the Third Elder. He looked very powerful, but in fact he was just a show-off. It was easy to deal with him.
