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

"Pretend, keep pretending! Let me see what kind of people in Zhenfeng are! They dare not take responsibility for what they do!"

Jiang Liqian's expression suddenly turned cold.

She stood up from the stone bench and walked step by step to Cao Xian. The cold aura made the arrogant Cao Xian subconsciously step back. As a result, he accidentally stepped on the hem of his clothes and fell on his butt.

Shui Lian'er couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qin Beiyao was afraid that the situation would escalate and he lost his composure, so he quickly covered her mouth.

Xu Youan silently looked at Jiang Liqian's back, with a dark look in his eyes.

"You, what are you going to do?" Cao Xian swallowed and shrank back.

Jiang Liqian frowned. As much as she had cared about the disciples of Qiankun Sect before, she was now annoyed with them. She no longer wanted to waste her energy and mood on these unimportant people.

She looked at Cao Xian lying on the ground and said impatiently, "Why are you provoking me?"

Seeing that Jiang Liqian had no intention of taking action, Cao Xian immediately waved his hand and asked the lackeys around him to help him up. At the end, he kicked them twice out of anger.

Jiang Liqian just stood there and watched with an indifferent expression.

Cao Xian couldn't stand her stare any longer, so he stopped hitting her. He brushed the dust off his butt, raised his chin, and sneered, "Provoke you? Are you worthy? A little beggar who appeared out of nowhere, got lucky and had good spiritual roots to be accepted as a personal disciple. Do you really think you're so awesome?"

Jiang Liqian remained silent, his tall figure like a sword inserted straight into the ground. Although silent, he had a majestic aura.

Cao Xian felt a surge of fear, but he had brought enough people with him this time, so he wasn't afraid of the other party suddenly attacking him. Seeing that his sarcasm had no effect on Jiang Liqian, he cursed inwardly - this little girl is just a blockhead, she won't listen to any advice!

But when he thought of the purpose of his visit and the miserable state he was about to witness for this guy, he took a deep breath.

How could he not take revenge for the humiliation he suffered at the disciple-recruiting conference and the humiliation he suffered from his elder brother?

"Jiang Liqian, I know you have some abilities. We've all been in Qimingzhai for a year, so we're all brothers and sisters. I won't bother you. I came to you today for one thing. Isn't the quiz coming up soon? Let's have a competition. If I rank higher than you, you'll give up your seat as a direct disciple and voluntarily withdraw from the Qiankun Sect. If you rank higher than me, I'll give you all my resources for the year. How about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Liqian could say anything, Shui Lian'er jumped out in anger: "I say, there's something wrong with you. Are you used to bullying new disciples in the outer sect? Why would my Liqian challenge you to a duel? Are you free, or is she? I think you'd better go to Danfeng and find a skilled alchemist to have your brain checked out."

"Hey, Miss, this is a matter between Jiang Liqian and me. Others should not interfere, otherwise..."

"What else? What dare you do? Li Qian is my sister, my mother's goddaughter. Who is 'someone else'? I see you are being overbearing and tyrannical, a complete cancer of the Outer Sect. If you continue to speak ill of my Li Qian here, I will go to the Discipline Hall and find the elders to file a complaint against you. Let's see if you can get away with it!"

"you!"

"What do you mean? Why don't you just get lost? I'm really an eyesore if I look at you even once!"

Cao Xian's face turned green with rage, but he couldn't do anything to her, after all, her mother was the Peak Master. Qin Beiyao, standing by, was also stunned. He clutched his chest in fear, secretly thankful that she had shown mercy to his men on the day of the disciple recruitment conference, otherwise, wouldn't he have been scolded and cried?

"Jiang Liqian!" Cao Xian, unable to match Shui Lian'er, turned aside and pointed his spearhead back at Jiang Liqian. His face was filled with anger, and he wanted to rush over and beat her to the ground, but thinking of her strength, he could only hold back. "If you don't want to compete, you are at Zhenfeng, and I can't interfere. But your good friend Yun Ruyi is from the outer sect. How do you think I should treat her?"

The misty and watery black eyes moved, and finally took in his figure.

But she just smiled lightly, with a cold look in her eyes.

"She has nothing to do with me. Whatever you want to do to her has nothing to do with me. If you are holding a grudge against me for the disciple recruitment conference and your brother, I accept your provocation.

"Now, you can take your people and leave."

Cao Xian had never been treated like this since he was a child. He almost lost his temper and attacked. Fortunately, the lackeys behind him pulled him back in time and talked to him for a long time before they pulled the man away.

When he left, he kicked a few stools to vent his anger and spat on the ground.

Shui Lian'er's face turned red with anger at his behavior. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to teach him a lesson, but Qin Beiyao stopped her by holding her waist.

"Tigress, don't be angry, don't be angry. That man has a strong background in our Qiankun Sect. If you confront him head-on, you will only end up with a mouthful of dust!"

"I don't care about him. What right does he have to kick the stools here? These are all things from the dormitory. Who does he think he is?" Shui Lian'er was so angry that she couldn't break free from Qin Beiyao's arms. She could only watch the group of people swagger away.

Xu Youan grasped the key point: "Do you know him? Do you know who is behind him?"

Qin Beiyao nodded: "I have a senior brother who fought his way up from the outer sect to the inner sect. I heard him say that in the outer sect, you must never mess with the Cao family, otherwise you will die without knowing how, and if you want to enter the inner sect, it will be hopeless."

Jiang Liqian thought this was a bit ridiculous.

She had taken care of all matters big and small in the Qiankun Sect, and knew the rules for entering the inner sect from the outer sect. In addition to performing well in major competitions and being noticed by the elders of each peak, one could also practice diligently and be judged by the five elders of the outer sect, and then be recommended to the inner sect on a merit basis. In addition, the Qiankun Sect also had the method of "self-recommendation". As long as one could meet the requirements for entering the inner sect put forward by each peak, even if one's cultivation was not enough or one's comprehension was insufficient, one could be accepted as an inner sect disciple.

Compared with other sects, the Qiankun Sect's attitude towards outer disciples couldn't be better. Outer disciples could even openly challenge inner disciples to a duel, and the winner would be decided by themselves.

With three such lenient ways to enter the inner gate, can anyone from the Cao family really control the outer gate?

What's more, the elders are not pushovers, so how can they allow one family to dominate?

Qin Beiyao didn't know what the secret was, he just told what he heard.

"My senior brother said that Elder Cao has two sons, one is called Cao Hu, and the other is Cao Xian. Elder Cao is the most advanced of the five elders. Backed by the powerful Cao family, he has the final say in the outer sect, and no one dares to offend him."
