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

Jiang Yueming, who was sitting in the seat, raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Jiang Liqian looked at him.

This look was filled with indifference, calmness, and a hint of - arrogant provocation.

This little brat!

Ah!

After accepting the congratulations and compliments from his fellow students, Gu Chengxue's gaze unconsciously fell on the girl in white who was also surrounded by the crowd.

Although the two had an unpleasant encounter and were even at loggerheads when they first met, for some reason, Gu Chengxue would involuntarily look at her, whether during class, during tests, or when she was punished to copy books in Lanxing Pavilion. When she was walking down the mountain with her friends, chatting and laughing, he would fall behind her, following silently.

On the fighting arena, her five-element magic was like a scroll slowly unfolding. Everyone was watching the magnificent changes of the five elements, but he was the only one who was absent-mindedly looking at her face and her eyes.

Although the Jishen Sect and the Qiankun Sect are friendly sects, who doesn't want to be the number one sect of cultivation in the world?

They were brought here to exchange ideas and learn from each other, as well as to compare themselves secretly and prepare for the future Immortal Sect Competition.

His attention should have been on her skills and techniques, which he should have taken apart and practiced conscientiously, looking for ways to crack them and improve himself in a targeted manner. He should also remember the situations of all the disciples of Qiankun Sect, compare them, and report back to the sect a year later.

But he just couldn't see into other people's eyes.

He didn't know what was wrong with him and could only attribute this feeling to a natural attraction to his old enemy.

Yes, nemesis.

Looking at the current generation of disciples of the Qiankun Sect, only Jiang Liqian is qualified to be his opponent, and they would be a very compatible rival.

She is strong enough.

And he admires the strong.

It's just that - she seemed very hostile to her.

This made him very distressed. He wanted to get to know her, but she never gave him the chance. Whenever he got a little closer, her face would turn very bad.

Although she looked cold on the outside, she was able to remain calm and composed when interacting with her fellow disciples or disciples from friendly sects like him.

He thought back on his life, from birth to joining the Jishen Sect. Although he could not be called a good man or a devout believer, he had never made enemies with anyone. He really couldn't understand where her hostility towards him came from.

No, in fact there is a person who is in the same situation as him.

Yun Ruyi, an outer disciple of the Qiankun Sect who looks delicate and weak but actually does not have much strength.

He had inquired privately and found out that they were originally friends, but they became strangers overnight.

He vaguely felt that there was some connection between the fact that both he and Yun Ruyi were abandoned by Jiang Liqian, but he knew too little about her now and couldn't figure out what the key was.

but.

When Jiang Liqian was about to notice that he was looking away, Gu Chengxue withdrew his gaze and tightened the jade pendant around his waist little by little.

He will find the answers he wants.

No matter how long.

"Cheng Xue, you said that Fellow Daoist Jiang can be ranked first on the top three lists, why is her cultivation level only at the Qi Refining level? I heard that she has a top-grade mutated thunder spiritual root that is rare in a century. Is it really because she is always punished to copy books and has no time to practice?" The fellow disciple next to him poked his arm, his eyes full of envy.

In the world of cultivation, admiration for the strong is almost an instinct ingrained in one's bones, and no one can avoid it.

Gu Chengxue unconsciously fiddled with the tassel on the jade pendant at her waist, her expression mysterious.

It's not that there is no time to practice. Just supporting the changes in the Five Elements Spiritual Arts is not something that can be achieved with the first level of Qi Refining.

He couldn't see her cultivation level before, and now she is simply using some magic weapon to hide her true strength.

"Although she ranks first among the three lists, if you also participate in the competition test, we don't know who will win. We in the Jishen Sect are no pushovers!" The fellow disciple clenched his fists, cheered himself up, and then happily squeezed into the group watching Jiang Liqian.

Gu Chengxue stammered, but could only watch.

-

Although Jiang Liqian doesn't like trouble and can only be an invisible person in the Qiankun Sect, she is not made of clay. When others step on her face, she will not say a word and let them step on her.

As the climax of the quiz came to an end, she immediately blocked Cao Xian's way down the mountain.

The simple little hand stretched forward, the meaning was very clear.

I will accept the consequences of my bet and no credit will be given.

Cao Xian's face darkened. He didn't want to obediently offer a year's resources. Just as he was about to curse, his father's face suddenly popped into his mind. Thinking of what his father asked him to do, he had to grit his teeth and took out a storage bag and threw it to her with a painful feeling.

"I'm not the type to default on my debts. I promised you a year's worth of resources, and I won't give you a penny less."

Jiang Liqian used her spiritual sense to probe inside and found that there were indeed quite a few, so she nodded at him, took out the spirit stones inside, put them into her own storage bag, and threw his back to him.

"A storage bag and twenty low-grade spirit stones are too much." After saying that, she didn't stay for long, walked around him and went down the mountain.

"Wait, Jiang Liqian!" Cao Xian didn't expect that this person would just take the spirit stone and leave without any courtesy. He felt depressed and could only bite the bullet and call her out.

Jiang Liqian didn't think she had a very good relationship with him. Hearing the sound, she didn't even stop, threw out a leaf boat, and left directly.

“…” Cao Xian’s face turned red with anger and he clenched his fists tightly.

Damn bitch, how dare you do this to him!!!

Before returning to Zhen Peak, Jiang Liqian took a detour to Feixia Peak and brought some spiritual fruits produced in Zhen Peak to Master Hongyun. She also took out two books on "Jade Face" and "Clothing" that she had copied down from memory and gave them to her.

Since she was injured, Master Hongyun has been taking care of her for a long time without taking off her clothes. She is very grateful in her heart. Although Master Hongyun has everything he needs, she still wants to show her appreciation for him.

It was the first time that Master Hongyun received a gift from a junior, and it was a gift that touched her heart. She immediately felt more pity and love for her.

Then look at your own daughter - oh, it's horrible, forget it, it's easy to get angry to death.

Fortunately, she acted quickly. Although she couldn't make Jiang Liqian her apprentice, a goddaughter was no worse than an apprentice!

"I've heard about it. Qian'er, you're first among the three places in this quiz. Not bad, not bad." Master Hongyun nodded with a smile. With a flick of her delicate fingertips, a storage bag landed in Jiang Liqian's hand. "Take it and spend it. It's your godmother's reward for you."

Jiang Liqian was stunned. She didn't expect that she would receive another bag of spirit stones just for expressing her gratitude.

Could it be that she has been lucky in making money recently?

When had she ever been so wealthy in her previous life...

"Thank you, godmother. I will practice even harder and never slack off."
