Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 149 Sect Competition 17
".Can we still make this plan work?"

There were so many people watching that Lian Gouqie realized he had spoken out of turn and stopped talking.

The disciples of Zhenhai Sect shouted rhythmically: "Tomorrow at 2:15 AM, Qigui Square, all the promoted disciples from each sect will form their own teams. The secret realm will open at 7:00 AM!"

God help me, Wei Xi thought, he actually formed a team on his own.

Lian Gouqie wrote down the key information and tried to find suitable people on the list to form a team.

Wei Xi was searching for Ge Cang in the crowd.

Soon, Ge Cang was found with his head lowered at the end of a group of people in blue robes.

Wei Xi put on a mournful face and rushed over to the Huaixin Sect's team. He greeted the leading disciple and said, "Is this fellow from the Huaixin Sect?"

The disciple was startled by Wei Xi's sudden appearance. He looked at Wei Xi with a hint of contempt in his eyes and frowned, "Yes, but what's going on with the Qingcheng Sect?"

When he heard it was Qingcheng Sect, Ge Cang raised his head.

Wei Xi, who saw this from the corner of his eye, knew something was up, so he continued his act. "I've heard that the disciples of Huaixin Sect are compassionate. The sect's token was taken away by the stone beast statue of Zhenhai Sect. My magic power is low, so I'd like to find someone to help me. What do you think?"

The disciple didn't take it seriously. Seeing Wei Xi's bitter face and that he wasn't a prominent figure, he said perfunctorily, "If you have any problems, go find your fellow disciples from your own sect. If that doesn't work, go find someone from the Zhenhai Sect. We have things to do here, so you're on your own!"

Wei Xi couldn't let him get away, so he grabbed the man's sleeve and said, "My fellow Daoist, if I had the guts, how could I dare to ask Huaixin Sect for help? Please help me! If you don't want to go, just point to a fellow Daoist with higher cultivation to help me!"

The disciple was really annoyed to see Wei Xi crying and snotting. Wei Xi's unreasonable and unreasonable talk had only led him into trouble. For a moment, he thought that this dog-skin plaster had to go by himself.

I don't want to do such a thankless job.

"Ge Cang!" the disciple shouted impatiently, "Ge Cang! Come here and go with this fellow Taoist!"

Ge Cang was like a frightened chicken. He was dazed at first, but when he heard his name for the second time, he subconsciously raised his hand and then stood up.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Wei Xi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

The Huaixin Sect disciples didn't care what Ge Cang was doing and left chatting and laughing.

The flattering smile on Wei Xi's face disappeared. She pulled Ge Cang's sleeve and took her to a secluded place.

"Friend Wei," Ge Cang whispered, "Aren't you going to look for the token?"

After nearly a year of absence, Ge Cang has grown taller and stronger, and there is no trace of frostbite on his hands.
His expression was a little evasive, like a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, hesitant and fearful.

"Fellow Daoist Ge," Wei Xi said softly, "It's been a while. Last time, in a moment of desperation, I hurt you. I've been thinking about it, and I wanted to come and apologize."

Ge Cang forced a smile and said, "Friend Wei, it's amazing that you still remember this."

Wei Xi didn't expect this reaction. If someone slapped her twice, she would definitely slap it back.

"Fellow Daoist Ge," Wei Xi asked in surprise, "Didn't Senior Sister Fan ask your Senior Brother Geng to take care of you? Why do you look so listless?"

Ge Cang looked up at Wei Xi, then lowered his head again and stammered, "Senior Brother Geng said that after a while, I won't have to wash clothes anymore and I can eat my fill."

"I can practice well," Ge Cang paused, "When I reached the foundation building stage, I injured Miss Lin during the competition."

"Miss Lin thought that it was difficult for her to take action since Senior Brother Geng was in seclusion last month, so..." Ge Cang spoke incoherently, and Wei Xi could only piece together the general idea by himself.

It seems that she has suffered a lot of bullying in the past month.

But Wei Xi wasn't some savior. She showed sympathy mixed with indignation, saying, "It was a fair competition, and she's inferior to you, yet she's trying to take revenge in secret! Besides, you're all disciples of the Huaixin Sect. How could she bully you like this?"

Ge Cang raised his head slightly, with gratitude on his face, "Fellow Daoist Wei, thank you, but people are different. I..."

In this situation, if Wei Xi really wanted to help, he would drag Ge Cang to the people of Wanjian Sect to cry and complain, or give her advice on how to make a scene on the field. At worst, he would encourage her to resist and give her advice.

Unfortunately, Wei Xi had ulterior motives, so she took the opportunity to say, "Then, in this sect competition, if you team up with the Huaixin Sect, won't you also suffer?"

Ge Cang looked at Wei Xi in surprise, tears hanging on his eyelashes, "Maybe, they all bullied me"

"..Or," Wei Xigu said in a dilemma: "Why don't you team up with us? Even though we're not as strong as you, at least we won't bully you!"

The real dagger is revealed.

Wei Xi and the other two had agreed yesterday that they would use whatever method to bring Ge Cang into the team and cultivate a relationship with him so that they could obtain intelligence.

Although this trick lacks empathy, fortunately Wei Xi has no psychological burden at all.

Ge Cang hesitated and asked, "Do the senior brothers and sisters from the Qingcheng Sect have any objections?"

Thinking of his senior brothers and sisters, Wei Xi said sincerely, "They don't interfere much in the affairs of the younger generation."

This did not convince Ge Cang. Seeing her hesitation, Wei Xi continued, "If you are in a team with these people, I'm afraid you won't have any chance to show your abilities. How can you ever make a name for yourself?"

"Perform well in the sect competition and leave an impression on the cultivators outside. If the leader of the Huaixin Sect notices you, maybe your life will get better."

Wei Xi still felt that this was not enough, and continued to scare her, "You should know that this time, new disciples must participate, but next time it may not be the same. If you don't seize this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to turn things around!"

Ge Cang thought of Miss Lin, shuddered, and whispered, "If I team up with you, I might not be able to stand out."

Wei Xi smirked and said, "Fellow Daoist Ge, I'm here to apologize sincerely. Naturally, I want to help you. Good and bad are determined by comparison. I'm a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. What do you have to worry about?"

What the head of the magic sect said makes sense. Isn't being bad at cooking an advantage?
"You make the decision yourself," Wei Xi said again, "or maybe there are elders in your sect who can make some arrangements."

It would be fine if he didn't mention the elders of Huaixin Sect. But when he did, thinking of those elders who turned a blind eye to his bullying, Ge Cang bit his lip and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't mind, then take me with you. Even though I'm not very capable, I can still help."

"Your cultivation is higher than mine, how can I despise you?" Wei Xi patted Ge Cang's shoulder affectionately, looking warm-hearted.

After the matter was settled, Ge Cang was about to leave.

Wei Xi said, "I've tricked you out anyway, so you might as well relax outside."

The important matters had been finalized, and Wei Xi just said some nice words to appease the other party.

After saying goodbye to Ge Cang, Wei Xi walked around the area twice before returning to the courtyard where the Qingcheng Sect lived.

　Wei Xi is indeed not a good person in the traditional sense, but fortunately she is not a bad person either (laughing and crying)
