This female leader is a little bit stronger

At the foot of Tianningzong Mountain.

A group of uninvited guests arrived here.

"Is this the Tianning Sect? It doesn't look that great."

"Is the Tianning Sect so poor? They cut down all the trees on the mountain, leaving not a single one behind!"

"I heard that the Tianning Sect was originally just a place to take in orphans and poor people. If it weren't for the support of the imperial court, it wouldn't have achieved its current glory!"

"..."

All kinds of unpleasant noises were heard in front of the mountain gate for a long time, but in the end no one came out of Tianning Sect.

Someone mocked, "They are indeed a bunch of uncouth barbarians! They don't even know how to greet distinguished guests. They don't know the slightest bit of etiquette!"

"In that case, we don't need to give them face, just go up the mountain!" A man walked forward dissatisfiedly. Just as he was about to step over the mountain gate, there was a buzzing sound. A wall composed of hundreds of barriers suddenly appeared and blew the man away fifty meters.

I fainted as soon as I landed.

"Brother!"

"Junior brother!"

Several people ran over, feeding him medicine and pinching his Ren Zhong point, and he finally woke up slowly. However, he was too weak to speak, "..."

An old man in front of the crowd narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with shock and greed, "What a powerful mountain protection formation!"

Someone broke into the mountain, and finally a disciple from the Tianning Sect spoke up, "Who is coming?"

The old man in the lead stood with his hands behind his back and said nothing.

Naturally, someone else was his mouthpiece—

"This is the Third Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect, and he and his disciples have come to visit the Tianning Sect! Why don't you quickly inform your Sect Master and have her come out to greet them!"

The disciple inside: ...

How dare you ask our clan leader to come out and greet you?

"Just wait."

An hour or two later, when the people outside were almost getting impatient, the messenger disciple finally returned with a message.

"Our Sect Leader Ning said that she is very busy and has no time to see anyone. I want you to be more sensible and go back to where you came from."

The people from Badaomen were instantly shocked.

"Who are you calling a cat or a dog?"

"The small Tianning Sect is too arrogant! Do you think you are the best in Xiyuan County?"

"Our Third Elder from Tyrant Blade Sect has come here in person to give you enough respect, but you are simply shameless!"

"I heard that the leader of Tianning Sect is just a ten-year-old kid with no parents. No wonder he is so uneducated!"

"A sect like this can hardly achieve anything great! Pah, it's not even a sect, it's just a bunch of unruly men!"

"..."

The disciples of Badao Sect cursed for a long time in front of the mountain gate, but no one responded to them.

The Third Elder's face grew darker and colder. He wanted to lash out, but he had no one to lash out at, so he could only hold his anger in his heart. He angrily flicked his sleeves and snorted, "Let's go!"

After returning, they started to slander and complain about me.

In addition, many people who were eliminated from the Ascension Conference complained about the assessment after they came out and spread rumors that the Tianning Sect's assessment was deliberately designed to make fun of people.

As these two things fermented together, the reputation of Tianning Sect plummeted.

Ning Ye lives a secluded life and naturally doesn't care about what others say, but there are people who care about her.

Yang Yanxiu came again with an invitation.

"A Peaceful Banquet?"

Ning Ye opened the invitation and the first thing he saw were these three large gold-plated characters.

Yang Yanxiu sipped his tea and said, "Our Holy Kingdom of Taiping in the Northern Holy Land has existed for nearly a thousand years, and for a thousand years, the country has enjoyed peace and prosperity. The Human Emperor has decreed that every fifty years, a grand celebration must be held throughout the country. Firstly, it is a celebration for all, and secondly, it is also a prayer for blessings from Heaven."

"In addition to the imperial palace banquet, Xiyuan County also has a county banquet. Many prominent people will be invited, especially the Badao Sect."

"The Immortal Alliance is about to be formed, so this Taiping Banquet is of great significance." He continued, "I've checked the county annals, and every Taiping County Banquet in the past has almost always been dominated by the Tyrant Blade Sect. So, Sect Master Ning, you must prepare well."

"At the Taiping Banquet, each clan will inevitably have a competition to win a prize. Usually, there are only two stages: Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. But this time, it's hard to say. The Tyrant Blade Sect may very well send a Nascent Soul."

Ning Ye narrowed his eyes, thinking of the unexplained visit from Ba Dao Men not long ago. So there was something fishy going on!

"Yang County Magistrate, in your opinion, how many people should I bring with me?"

Yang Yanxiu pondered for a moment. He knew that Tianning Sect did not have any Nascent Soul cultivators at the moment. "Ten Foundation Establishment disciples and five Golden Core disciples. It would be best if these disciples could reach Great Perfection. If not, try to reach the later stages."

Ning Ye nodded, "That's fifteen people."

This includes herself.

Yang Yanxiu looked at the young sect leader carefully, and suddenly noticed her clothing. He asked, "Sect Leader Ning, doesn't your Tianning Sect have a set of sect uniforms?"

Ning Ye: "Zongfu?"

He gently reminded, "I've seen other sects where elders and disciples all wear uniform clothing, making them very easy to identify. But the disciples of Tianning Sect seem to be wearing casual clothes... It's not that casual clothes are bad, it's just that when disciples go out, the sect gives them face."

Ning Ye's eyes lit up. "Oh, that's right. I was wondering what I forgot. It turns out to be the clan uniform! County Magistrate Yang, thank you for reminding me!"

Yang Yanxiu chuckled, "I happen to know of quite a few tailor shops in the county town with good craftsmanship. Some of them can even make simple robes, and they do it quickly. Sect Master Ning is pressed for time, so those are good options."

Ning Ye clapped his hands, "Chief Yang, you've been a great help to me. Please sit down for a moment and have some tea. I'll go get some clothing samples and be back soon!"

She rushed out like a whirlwind, spread the news that she was going to make clan uniforms, and asked every disciple to give their ideas.

Most of the female disciples screamed with excitement when they heard it. They had natural ideas and interests in designing clothes, and their inspiration was like a bursting fountain.

The male disciples were confused. Designing clothes?

Nope!

But this was a matter of decency after all, so they had to be careful. So they went to bribe the female disciples, praising them with all kinds of nice words for free.

Soon, about a hundred drafts were gathered in Ning Ye's hands.

Ning Ye called Lou Yanfeng and Qian Xiaomei, and the three women discussed for a long time and finally decided on the best ones.

She handed the drafts to Yang Yanxiu and took out many treasures from the storehouse. "Tianning Sect doesn't have any disciples who are good at making clothes. They are all amateurs. We have selected these drafts as the better-looking ones. When you take them over, please ask the tailor to help review them. Oh, and make all of them into robes. Thank you, Lord County Magistrate!"

"It's easy to talk about."

Yang Yanxiu carefully put away the draft and chatted some more about the Taiping Banquet. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said goodbye.

Ning Ye wanted to send him down the mountain.

Bai Jingze came over at this time, "Xiao Ye Zi, I'm here to see the county magistrate off. Lin Yu seems a little unwell, you go and take a look."

Ning Ye frowned worriedly when he heard this, "What happened to Lin Yu?"

Bai Jingze pinched the corner of his clothes with his fingers, lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know."

Yang Yanxiu was very understanding. "In that case, let this little brother take it. Sect Leader Ning, you don't have to be so polite to me."

Ning Ye nodded, "Okay then, Governor Yang, take care."

Bai Jingze sent his men out of the mountain gate and was about to speak when Yang Yanxiu spoke first.

"Little brother, do you have something to say to me?"

After all, Yang Yanxiu had been a county magistrate for half his life, and he was considered a shrewd man. He saw through Bai Jingze's trick of getting people away at a glance.

Bai Jingze took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him, then handed him a storage bag.

Yang Yanxiu took the paper first, opened it, and his eyes widened, "This is..."
