Shao Fei shook his head. "Alas, what potential can the First Peak have? Look carefully at our brothers and sisters. They are all very simple, with wooden hairpins on their heads. And then look at the people from the next peak. They are all adorned with jewels and various magical artifacts. Tsk tsk, you've bet on the wrong horse."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ying quickly took a look around and found that the situation was indeed as "serious" as Shao Fei said.

She lowered her voice and teased, "Yingxue, look at this main hall and its decoration. You said Xianyun Sect is so rich, so why is First Peak so poor... Is First Peak actually the descendant of Xianyun Sect?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded: "Good question, I want to know too."

"Do you think it might be because—"

Before he could finish his words, a senior sister standing in front of several teams started to lecture him, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters from the First Peak, this is the main hall. No whispering or loud noises are allowed in the main hall."

When Chu Ying heard this, she thought that she had spoken quietly and didn't disturb anyone, but she immediately shut up in grievance.

"Senior Brother Yan, you must discipline them well, especially the two new female disciples." After saying that, the senior sister turned around and left.

Chu Ying and Jiang Yingxue looked at each other in bewilderment. They had only said a few words! Even if they had said more together, Shao Fei would not have said as much.

Chu Ying sighed: "Who is that?"

Shao Fei immediately said, "That's a senior sister from the Fifth Peak, Ouyang Ruolan. She's here today to enforce discipline. Yesterday, the First and Fifth Peaks had a falling out in the exam hall. They'll definitely find ways to target us in the future, especially you two. Be careful."

Jiang Yingxue waved the round fan in her hand and chuckled, "They really are so boring."

As a bell rang, the leader of the Xianyun Sect and several peak masters came out one after another.

The sect leader was wearing a silver Taoist robe embroidered with golden runes and totems, and a faint spiritual light was flowing on the robe, like the rising morning light.

This was the first time that the few people met the leader of the Xianyun Sect. Although he was old, his figure was still as straight as a pine tree. Every step he took was accompanied by a sense of ancient power, as if he was not just walking, but resonating with the breath of heaven and earth.

"Good morning, freshmen." The sect leader smiled kindly and then began to speak incessantly, talking at length about the glorious history of the Xianyun Sect, the sect's rules, and his expectations for these new disciples.

Jiang Yingxue looked at the scene, which really reminded her of the principal's speech to the freshmen at the opening ceremony. It was exactly that feeling. The more she listened, the sleepier she felt...

The sect leader stood in front and chattered a lot. At this moment, he suddenly said, "Next, we will award the top three disciples of this disciple recruitment conference."

His change of voice instantly brought everyone back to their senses, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

"First place, Chu Ying. Second place, He Qingfeng. Third place, Cen Yizi."

Upon hearing this, several people stepped forward to receive their awards. Seeing two of the top three disciples from the previously unpopular First Peak emerge, everyone couldn't help but chat among themselves.

"The First Peak is pretty good this year. We've recruited two strong men."

"Did the First Peak offer any particularly tempting conditions?"

"Don't dream. The First Peak is broke as hell, how could they possibly offer any conditions? It's better to ask if the Peak Master has any evidence against us."

The discussions around me kept coming and going, and the atmosphere on the field gradually became heated.

The sect leader walked up to Chu Ying, looked her over carefully, and then asked with a smile, "Are you Chu Ying? I heard that not only did you achieve good results, but you also signed a contract with a Senluo Qinghe?"

"Yes." Chu Ying nodded.

The clan leader's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. He nodded slowly, his tone adding a bit of approval: "Well done, young people are really formidable."

After saying this, the sect leader took a ring from a disciple beside him and said, "This ring contains a soul-restoring pill and five hundred spirit stones. Most importantly, it has a ten-square-meter space and can support living things. Your Senluo Qinghe will be very suitable to live in it."

"Can it feed living things?!" Chu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this. If this ring could feed living things, it would be the most valuable reward! Chu Ying was overjoyed and couldn't help but blurt out, "Thank you, Sect Master! You're so generous!"

The Sect Master was amused by her actions and said cheerfully, "That's good. When you go to the First Peak, you must practice well. If you regret it and want to transfer—"

"Ahem!" Wan Jinan on the side coughed twice to signal the sect leader to stop.

The Sect Master smiled and said nothing more, "In short, be modest and cautious, and keep working hard, okay?"

"I will!"

The disciple-recruiting meeting lasted the entire morning and until noon.

After the meeting, the disciples filed out, each looking tired and excited, and the atmosphere gradually changed from tense to relaxed.

Just as everyone on the First Peak was about to leave, Wan Jinan suddenly spoke. His typically cold voice stood out amid the bustling atmosphere: "Everyone, don't rush to leave."

He stood in front, his eyes sweeping over all the disciples of the First Peak, his usual stern look softening a little.

Upon hearing this, the disciples stopped in their tracks and looked at him with puzzled eyes. No one had expected that Wan Jinan, who was usually taciturn and never paid any attention to them, would actually speak up today.

"I've booked a private room in the cafeteria today," he said calmly, but his words revealed something surprising. "Let's have lunch together at noon. I'll treat you."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment. Then, the expressions on the disciples' faces seemed to be frozen in time, their mouths opened in surprise.

Even the stingy Wan Jinan has his moments of treating people to a meal! ?

Several senior brothers and sisters couldn't help but murmur, with surprise and disbelief in their eyes.

It seems that today is really thanks to the new brothers and sisters who came.

After saying this, Wan Jinan led the disciples to a private room in the Xianyun Sect cafeteria. When they reached the door, Wan Jinan stopped and pushed open the heavy wooden door. As the door opened, a burst of fragrance filled the air. The entire table was already filled with delicious dishes, making everyone salivate.

Roast duck, fairy cloud pastry, steamed fish with ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus soup...

The disciples stood at the door, staring at the feast in amazement and swallowing silently.

Those disciples dared to swear that this was definitely the most sumptuous meal they had ever had since joining the sect.

Based on their understanding of their master, anyone who shows undue courtesy to others is either a traitor or a thief.

So everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to sit down.

Wan Jinan and Yan Chuan sat down in the upper seats first. Seeing everyone standing stiffly, Wan Jinan asked in confusion, "Why are you standing there? Sit down!"
