After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Fellow students looked at her with envy. Zhao Zhang nodded to Jiang Liqian again and turned to leave, but Jiang Liqian suddenly called him.

"Um... there's something I can ask you, could I trouble you?"

She originally wanted to ask her second senior brother for help, but he has been busy practicing recently and she didn't want to disturb him.

Zhao Zhang naturally wouldn't refuse Jiang Liqian's request. He asked, "What is it? If I can do it, I will do my best."

Jiang Liqian hesitated for a moment, but still carefully took out two broken bells from the ring.

The gold plating on the surface of the two bells had been severely scratched by something, revealing only the embroidered iron inside, which had also been shattered. If it had not been kept in the ring, it would probably have become completely useless pieces of iron.

Moreover, judging from the structure of these two bells, they are not magical instruments with spiritual power. They are just a pair of ordinary bells that are so ordinary that they may not even be from the world of cultivation.

What is she doing with this thing?

Zhao Zhang looked at her in confusion.

Jiang Liqian knew that the bells were badly damaged and they were not magical or spiritual tools. Even in the world of cultivation, it might not be possible to repair them.

But... this is the last thought her mother left for her. To her, it is extremely precious. If she had known that wearing it outside the sect would cause it to be damaged, she said she would never wear it.

But it was too late to say anything now, she just wanted to try.

Zhao Zhang is very talented in refining equipment, maybe he can do it... Even if he can't, she can still think positively.

Originally, she couldn't keep anything.

"I...I..." She pursed her lips tightly, her five fingers grasping the hem of her skirt tightly. "I know it's difficult, but could you please think of a way to help me restore these bells?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly added, "I can pay with spirit stones, any amount is fine. It's really important to me."

There was a look of surprise in Zhao Zhang's eyes.

Jiang Liqian thought he didn't want to help, so she lowered her eyes in disappointment and prepared to take the bell back.

"Alas, that's not what I meant." Zhao Zhang saw that she had misunderstood and hurried to explain, "I just didn't expect that Junior Sister Zhen Feng, who has always been aloof, quiet, and expressionless, would actually reveal such true feelings."

He took the bell from her hand with a smile, and carefully placed the bell in a jade box.

"Leave it to me, don't worry. I will find a way to fix it. No spiritual stones are needed. Just consider it a friendship between fellow disciples."

Jiang Liqian stared blankly at the kindness in his eyes, and suddenly thought of her previous life. She had just killed a monster and was still full of hostility. Blood was dripping from the tip of her sword. As she stepped on the dewy bluestone slabs and climbed the stairs, she ran into Zhao Zhang who was going down the mountain to complete a mission.

The young man in white saw her, was slightly stunned, and then greeted her naturally. His eyes fell on her sword, and after looking at it carefully, he took out a Heart-Clearing Pearl and gave it to her.

"This pearl, placed on the sword tassel, can soothe the sword's evil."

After saying this, he left, enjoying the gentle breeze and bright moon, without saying a word.

[Ding! The backlash value of the young master's inner demon has decreased by 1%. The current backlash value is 44%.]

"I wish you good luck on the fighting arena." Zhao Zhang smiled slightly.

Jiang Liqian took a step back and bowed her head to him: "I appreciate your kind words."

Zhao Tan went to his master. Jiang Liqian felt relieved and turned his attention back to the arena.

I have to say, being the last one is not without its advantages. Although the wait is long and the heart is tormented and nervous, one can fully understand the performance of the disciples in front of him and know their respective strengths.

After half a year in Qimingzhai, everyone has made some progress, especially the performance of the direct disciples of each peak. This has also given the inner and outer disciples the motivation to practice.

There were all kinds of unique skills displayed on the arena. Qin Beiyao was the fifty-seventh to go on stage. He only stood for a while before getting ready to go on stage.

Shui Lian'er pulled Jiang Liqian to cheer him on. Although Jiang Liqian didn't like crowds, she let her do it.

Soon Qin Beiyao came on the stage.

Shui Lian'er was sitting below, not feeling embarrassed at all. She put her hands on either side of her mouth and shouted at Qin Beiyao on the stage.

"Qin Beiyao, listen carefully to me. If you don't perform well, I will take away your badge that allows you to enter and leave Feixia Peak freely. From now on, if you want to come to Feixia Peak, it depends on whether I am willing to let you in. However, if you perform well, I will treat you to a feast in the dining hall. You can order whatever you want, and I will pay the spirit stones!

"You give me a hard time!"

Qin Beiyao on the stage was instantly stared at like a sieve by the peak masters and elders on the viewing platform and his fellow disciples below the stage. The real person Hong Yun from Feixia Peak even had a cold look in his eyes, which shot straight at his face.

It was as if he was going to be cut into pieces.

Qin Beiyao immediately held his breath, straightened his body, and dared not breathe. His face turned red as a monkey's butt.

He desperately winked at Jiang Liqian, asking her to cover Shui Lian'er's mouth.

Shui Lian'er is not like them. She is warm and generous, loves to help the weak, is like a little sun, and has Feixia Peak as her strong backer. Qi Mingzhai secretly wants to get close to her, and many people want to play with her. Now she is cheering Qin Beiyao in front of so many people, which is undoubtedly putting Qin Beiyao on the fire.

but--

Jiang Liqian glanced at Qin Beiyao's red face, moved aside silently, and tried hard to pretend that she was not familiar with either of them.

She felt that someone was actually quite happy.

Enjoy it.

Qin Beiyao really did not disappoint Shui Lian'er. With one move, he brought back the dead tree to life, fully displaying the talent of his single wood spiritual root and learning the essence of the wood spiritual technique thoroughly.

Peak Master Fu Feng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Qin Beiyao specially picked the most beautiful flower from the dead tree, jumped off the arena, and gave it to Shui Lian'er.

Shui Lian'er didn't hesitate and just pinned it on her bun.

"Does it look good?"

Qin Beiyao's cheeks flushed and he nodded shyly.

Jiang Liqian couldn't bear to watch it at all. She covered her eyes and found another Feng Shui spot to watch the disciples' moves on the stage.

The Qiankun Sect has gathered the best talents in the world. The disciples have new and unique skills, and each one of them is remarkable. Even when Cao Xian came on stage, there was a round of applause.

Of course, Jiang Liqian didn't know whether they were all his followers or not, and she was too lazy to find out.

Now she only wanted to know one thing - where did Cao Xian's inexplicable self-confidence come from.

As soon as Cao Xianyi stepped onto the stage, his shiny, golden robes instantly blinded his fellow disciples. There was an eerie silence around the arena for a moment, but he didn't care. Instead, he raised his chin and looked provocatively at the corner where Jiang Liqian was.

"Jiang Liqian, you won't go back on your bet with me, right?" In front of everyone, Cao Xian loudly asked her about the bet, as if whether the bet was serious depended entirely on her.
