I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Shao Yu from the Shenyin Sect also came, but he was the last one to come.

After coming down, he looked around the crowd, as if looking for someone.

After carefully scanning around twice, Shao Yu didn't find the person he was looking for, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Seeing Gu Lan looking at him in the crowd, Shao Yu hurriedly said a few words to Senior Brother Qi, then trotted to Gu Lan.

"When did you come?"

Shao Yu is older than his fellow disciples, but they are about the same age. They are all young people and can get along well.

I was already very familiar with it when I was in the Shenyin Sect.

Shao Yu is simple, kind and gentle, and very likable.

Xu Fengxi, Xue Hao and Meng Xin were also on good terms with him.

After they exchanged pleasantries, Xu Fengxi patted Shao Yu on the shoulder and said, "You've been here for a long time. I don't know if your skills have improved during your time away from home, but your shoulders have become much stronger."

Shao Yu smiled proudly, "Then we'll see the truth on the field." After saying that, he didn't forget to puff up his arms for everyone to see, "I'm not the same person I used to be. If you meet me next time, I won't show any mercy."

Xue Hao patted the sword at his waist and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us sword cultivators to meet you."

"That's not necessarily true. Those who remain in this competition will have to compete with each other. Maybe I can stay until the end."

"What do you mean?" Gu Lan asked from the side, "Do you know something?"

Shao Yu patted his head, knowing that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he was still willing to reveal a little more to Qianji Sect.

"Yes, you may not know that in this sect competition, at the end, no matter if they are sword cultivators, weapon cultivators, or talisman cultivators, etc., they will all compete with each other. This is different from previous years when weapon cultivators only competed with weapon cultivators, and talisman cultivators only competed with talisman cultivators. So, maybe I can meet a sword cultivator by then."

Everyone was surprised by the news Shao Yu brought.

In this case, the opponents they will face in the end will be more complicated.

"Thank you." Gu Lan said sincerely.

Shao Yu shook his head. "What's the big deal? With such a big change in this sect competition, the competition rules should be announced soon. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

"That's quite true." Xu Fengxi patted Shao Yu unceremoniously.

Shao Yu felt that he was from the Divine Seal Sect after all, and was definitely better than those weapon cultivators, talisman cultivators, and firearms, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, so I will definitely get good grades this time!"

Shao Yu was optimistic by nature, and seeing how happy he was, everyone didn't want to discourage him.

Seeing that he was talking to everyone but his mind was not here, Gu Lan thought of how he had looked around the crowd before and guessed that he was looking for Shan Ling.

Sure enough, after speaking a few words, Shao Yu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

As soon as Shao Yu came down, he started looking for Shan Ling, but he couldn't find anyone after looking around. Seeing Gu Lan and her junior brother standing nearby, he came over.

He knew that Gu Lan was good friends with Shan Ling and wanted to ask about Shan Ling's situation.

However, Shao Yu talked too much nonsense and didn't get to the point for a long time.

Senior Brother Qi over there is already getting impatient waiting.

The other disciples of the Shenyin Sect became a little impatient when they saw Shao Yu hanging out with the Qianji Sect members and chattering endlessly. They felt that it was a disgrace for Shao Yu to be with the Qianji Sect members, and their eyes were filled with blame.

Humph, Qianji Sect! A shabby little sect that always seduces their innocent junior brothers, isn't it just to get close to us?

Everyone was very contemptuous.

"Shao Yu!"

Seeing that Shao Yu had not returned yet, Senior Brother Qi, who was leading the team, could not help but call out to him loudly.

Shao Yu opened his mouth, but before he could ask the question, he was interrupted by Senior Brother Qi's call.

He had no choice but to shut up, waved to Gu Lan and the others dejectedly, and ran back to the team.

When Shao Yu ran back to Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi couldn't help but scold him.

"Don't mess with Qianji Sect. Their sect has fallen into such decline and their luck has run out. After this sect competition, if they can't get good results, their sect will be disbanded. How can they still have a place in the world of immortal cultivation? Remember, our Shenyin Sect is a big sect with many disciples and talented people. It has a bright future. You can't get involved with them. It's very unlucky."

Shao Yu felt that his senior brother's words were a bit harsh, and could not help but protest: "Senior brother, what you said is right. Qianji Sect did contribute to the disaster of the Heavenly Demon. Moreover, Senior Sister Gu escaped from the Heavenly Demon Gu Qi and brought back a lot of important information."

“Bullshit!” Senior Brother Qi couldn’t help but swear, “She was able to escape the clutches of the demon Guqi because of her ancestors’ good deeds and she was lucky. The one who defeated the demon Guqi was Senior Du Balong. The little information she brought back is useless.”

Qi Sheng despises those who engage in speculation the most.

He felt that Gu Lan was lucky to have met Senior Du Balong, which allowed her to escape by chance. She also brought the information given to her by Senior Du Balong back to the Shenyin Sect. How could this be her credit?

Look at what she's capable of!

Qi Sheng was very disdainful and couldn't help but get angry.

Seeing Senior Brother Qi swearing, Shao Yu could only stick out his tongue and stop arguing.

Qi Sheng snorted, glanced at Gu Lan with disdain, then held his head high and led his team away.

Shao Yu followed behind and looked at Gu Lan apologetically.

Shao Yu felt very sorry for what Senior Brother Qi said about Gu Lan so loudly just now, so he mouthed: Don’t bother my senior brother, he is not a bad person, sorry, sorry.

Gu Lan raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips.

I feel a little blocked in my heart.

Most of the people in the square were independent cultivators and disciples from other sects. Gu Lan and his fellow apprentices were not wearing Qianji Sect's clothes and hid among them without attracting any strange looks.

But after being belittled by the people of the Shenyin Sect, they have now become the conspicuous outliers.

Everyone whispered.

"So they are from the Thousand Machine Sect."

"Tsk tsk, all the major sects came here with magic weapons, but you see they ran to the square so early, I guess they don't have any magic weapons to show off."

"I'm afraid of being embarrassed."

"No, no, no, it's already embarrassing enough to be scolded like that!"

"Hey hey hey."

There was constant gossip, and Gu Lan's chest heaved, feeling very depressed.

It's really suffocating.

If it wasn't for Shao Yu's sake, Gu Lan would have cursed loudly!

But she endured it!

But it’s very uncomfortable to endure!

Several junior fellow students were very unhappy when they heard such a story. They glared at those who were gossiping.

But before they could make any move, someone in the crowd spoke up for them.

"This is a different time. Maybe the Qianji Sect is not good now, but it doesn't mean it won't be good in the future. Don't look down on others!"

"Yes, I think this generation of Qianjimen has a bright future."

"Not bad!"

"Borrow it, borrow it for a moment."

Not many people were willing to speak up for Qianjimen, and Gu Lan and the others were curious about who was still standing on their side these days.

I saw three or five people walking towards this side, waving at us as they walked.

Gu Lan and the others took a closer look and felt that these people looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them before. For a moment they didn't know how to respond and just stood there stupidly.

Xu Fengxi thought for a moment, then was suddenly shocked and instantly smiled.

I remembered!

"It's them!"
