The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Jiang Yingxue lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and a hint of hesitation flashed through her mind.

"Master is right..." Jiang Yingxue bit her lip and asked, "What if the Demon King descended and asked you to be the first to rush forward? Would you still rush forward even though you knew you would die?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ying straightened her back without hesitation. "Of course! I joined the Xianyun Sect because I wanted to be a female knight who punishes evil and promotes good, to avenge my enemies and live freely. If there truly is an evil demon causing trouble, then I, Chu Ying, will definitely eliminate it!"

Cen Yizi nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I knew it..." Jiang Yingxue muttered quietly. In the original novel, these people were all upright before they turned evil. Look at their eyes, each one of them was so determined that they could join the party. In comparison, she looked like a coward who only cared about life and death.

Wan Jinan, standing by, patted the table with a smile, his tone gentle and encouraging. He said easily, "But you don't have to be so pessimistic. There will always be a way out. Before the demon king descends, we must first improve ourselves. For example, let's go to the auction in Linxian City tonight and see if there's anything suitable. Right now, you and Yan Chuan are the only ones without weapons, so you have to hurry up and make some efforts."

"tonight!?"

Except for Yan Chuan, almost everyone said the same thing.

Chu Ying frowned and said, "Master, your announcement is too sudden. Where is Linxian City? Is it still in time for us to fly there?"

Wan Jinan looked at Chu Ying, who looked anxious, and smiled. "Don't be nervous. Our Xianyun Sect has a shop in Lin'an City, and there's a formation inside. Although Lin'an City is a bit far from the Xianyun Sect, with the formation, getting there is just a matter of casting a spell, and it will take only a moment. You four, pack up well today. I haven't been this rich in decades. I'm going to take you out for some fun tonight."

"Great!" Chu Ying jumped up excitedly when she heard this.

The setting sun was sinking into the mountain top, and the sky was dyed orange. At the hour of You, several people gathered in the inner hall, waiting for Wan Jinan to arrive.

Wan Jinan hurried over and closed the door: "Are you all ready?"

Everyone nodded.

Wan Jinan then pulled out a yellow talisman, moved his fingertips slightly, gently pinched the talisman paper, and chanted in a low voice: "The sky turns upside down, the stars turn upside down, open!"

The talisman paper instantly ignited with a ray of golden light, which swirled around them like a vortex, rapidly expanding into a dazzling nebula. The entire space within the hall seemed to have reversed, and the surrounding scenery rapidly distorted, transforming into streaks of light and shadow.

"Let the light of heaven guide you!" Wan Jin'an's voice echoed through the light and shadows, clear and resonant. In an instant, a brilliant light surged in like a wave, engulfing the group in an instant, as if they had plunged headfirst into another world.

The next moment, they came to a small attic.

"Is this the Xianyun Sect's shop in Lin'an City?" Jiang Yingxue looked around and found a window in front of her, so she walked over and pushed it open.

The moment I opened the window, I heard the bustling voices and saw the bright lights, as if I had jumped out of the silent mountains and into the magnificent scene on earth.

Chu Ying quickly came forward and said, "So we are on the second floor. It's so lively here!"

"Of course. Linxian City is a town that gathers many immortal items. Many sects have set up shops here. Follow me, and I will show you around Linxian City."

After saying that, Wan Jinan hurried downstairs, his sleeves fluttering slightly, and several people quickly followed him.

They arrived at the front desk. The disciple in charge of the store noticed Wan Jinan and his eyes lit up instantly. A respectful smile appeared on his face as he bowed deeply to him. "Oh, Master Wan! What a coincidence that you've come to the Immortal City in person today. Are you here for the auction as well?"

Wan Jinan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Of course! This is Linxian City's triennial auction, and there are all kinds of treasures. There are so many treasures. Shouldn't I bring my disciples here to see them and broaden their horizons?"

Chu Ying, who was standing nearby, heard this and came forward with great interest. She couldn't help but interrupt, "That's right, we came here specially to take a look and see what treasures there are!"

Just as they were talking and laughing, a cold female voice suddenly came from outside the door, with undisguised contempt in her tone: "There are so many treasures at the auction. Suitable, desirable, and suitable, there are definitely countless. But you, the First Peak... are notoriously poor. Do you have enough money?"

Several people were stunned when they heard the words, and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a group of Xianyun Sect disciples standing outside the door. The leader was none other than Lin Hai, the master of the Fifth Peak.

Wan Jinan immediately shouted to Lin Hai, "Hey, Old Lin, keep a close eye on your disciples. Don't speak without thinking or showing respect."

Lin Hai glanced at Wan Jinan calmly, then said, "It's just some idle chatter between disciples. Why should we worry about it? Besides, what Qingqing said is the truth."

Duan Qingqing immediately held her head high and puffed out her chest after hearing her master's support. "By the way, I remember the auction's entrance fee alone is fifty spirit stones. You five can't even afford the entrance fee, right?"

Jiang Yingxue, who was standing by, chuckled after hearing this, her tone lighthearted and playful: "Why? Miss Duan, are you planning to pay for our entrance fee?"

Duan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then crossed her arms over her chest and snorted coldly. A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and her tone was mean: "Why should I give you the entrance fee? It's just that you are all wearing the Taoist robes of the Xianyun Sect. I am worried that you will be stopped outside and embarrassed, which will bring disgrace to the sect. However, if you kneel down and beg me, I will give you your fifty spirit stones."

After Duan Qingqing finished speaking, there was a hint of complacency on the corners of her lips, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Jiang Yingxue with a smug look on her face.

In the entire Xianyun Sect, Duan Qingqing hated only two people the most. One was her half-sister, Duan Ningning. Duan Ningning was naturally gifted and superior to her in every way, especially her understanding demeanor, which endeared her to the elders. Despite her resentment, Duan Qingqing felt compelled to feign ingratiation and humble herself before her, a fact that infuriated her.

The other was the alluring and charming Jiang Yingxue. Duan Qingqing felt even more disdainful when she thought of her incredibly beautiful face. This was especially true when Jiang Yingxue and she had actually achieved the same first place in the entrance exam. Even more unbearable for her was the fact that Jiang Yingxue, a mere Qi Refining Stage junior, had been promoted to an Inner Sect disciple just before the third exam.

This woman must have resorted to some shady tactics! Otherwise, with her level of cultivation, how could she receive such special treatment?

Thinking of this, Duan Qingqing couldn't help but urge, "How about it? Fifty spirit stones for just kneeling once?"
