The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Looking at Xing Xuanli, who was the center of attention, Luo Lingshan's fingers unknowingly dug into her flesh, and the Lingxiao Sect was also very angry.

Luo Lingshan stared at Xing Xuanli, her teeth chattering as jealousy and resentment threatened to consume her. She roared inwardly, "Why is Xing Xuanli so glorious, surrounded by so many people, while I can only watch helplessly from the sidelines?"

The people of the Lingxiao Sect were also filled with resentment, whispering and complaining. "What's so great about the Sun and Moon Palace? It just relies on the Regent's connections!" a young disciple said angrily.

"That's right. Our Lingxiao Sect was once very famous, but now we have been overshadowed by them." Another disciple echoed, his face full of anger.

"Hmph, Xing Xuanli is just lucky." An elder snorted coldly, with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Luo Lingshan listened to the complaints of the Lingxiao Sect, and her anger grew even stronger. She felt that all the injustices she had suffered were caused by Xing Xuanli, and secretly vowed to teach Xing Xuanli a lesson.

At this time, Xing Xuanli was completely unaware of the resentment towards Luo Lingshan and Lingxiao Sect. She was still smiling and talking to everyone, emitting a confident and calm aura.

Shi Sang said to Xing Xuanli, "Not bad!" Xing Xuanli turned to look at her with a smile when she heard Shi Sang's praise.

An Lingyan also said happily: "Sister A Li is the best!" Her face was filled with an innocent smile, and her eyes were full of admiration for Xing Xuanli.

Xing Xuanli reached out and gently touched An Lingyan's head, saying, "You're the only one who has a sweet mouth."

Shi Sang continued, "This is not just a casual compliment, A-Li. Your performance this time is truly impressive."

Xing Xuanli responded modestly: "It's just that I'm lucky."

"It's not luck, it's all due to your strength." Shi Sang said seriously.

An Lingyan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Sister A Li has always been very powerful."

Xing Xuanli felt a little embarrassed by what they said, "Okay, if you keep praising me, I'll be so proud."

The three of them smiled at each other, and a warm atmosphere spread between them.

Just as Luo Lingshan was thinking about how to deal with Xing Xuanli, the system suddenly sounded in her mind: "If the host fails to complete the task, you will be punished."

Luo Lingshan was shocked and her face turned pale. "What? I'm going to be punished if I don't complete the mission? What should I do?" She thought to herself in panic.

Her thoughts on dealing with Xing Xuanli were disrupted by this sudden warning. "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. But this mission is so difficult, and Xing Xuanli is so troublesome. What should I do?" Luo Lingshan frowned, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Is there really no way out? No, I can't give up like this. There must be a chance." Luo Lingshan forced herself to calm down and began to rethink countermeasures.

"Maybe I should change my approach and not be so impulsive." She secretly made up her mind to find a way to complete the task and avoid the unknown punishment.

Luo Lingshan said to the system in her mind, "But Xing Xuanli already knows of your existence and that I am a Captor."

Upon hearing this, the system's voice was clearly filled with panic: "How is this possible? How could she know so quickly? This situation has become extremely difficult."

Luo Lingshan was filled with worry: "I don't know either. Maybe she's too smart and noticed something unusual. What should we do now? Can the mission continue?"

The system was silent for a long moment before slowly saying, "Don't panic. Now that she knows, we must act more cautiously and cannot proceed according to the original plan."

Luo Lingshan said anxiously: "How can we change this? I don't want to be punished for failing this mission."

The system calmly analyzed: "We need to re-evaluate Xing Xuanli's strength and the actions she might take, and then formulate a more covert and comprehensive plan."

Luo Lingshan frowned: "Will this work? I don't feel confident at all."

The system encouraged her: "Don't be too pessimistic. As long as we are careful enough, there may be a chance of success. However, every step forward from now on cannot afford to make mistakes."

Luo Lingshan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, this is the only way I can try."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked at the one person and one system, and sneered in his heart. A tiny outsider who didn't know what he was was delusionally thinking of subverting the world.

His deep eyes revealed a deep disdain, as if he was looking at two ants that did not know their own limitations. Yun Mohan stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) stared at Luo Lingshan, his eyes like a sharp blade, cold and ruthless.

Luo Lingshan was heartbroken as he stared at her, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried out in pain, "Why does he look at me like that? Where has all the tenderness and care he once had gone?"

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but something stuck in her throat. Luo Lingshan tried to find a trace of the love he once had in his eyes, but all she saw was indifference and alienation.

"Have all the vows we made to each other vanished into thin air?" Luo Lingshan's heart felt as if it was deeply pierced by countless needles, and every breath was filled with endless pain.

Her hands were tightly clenched around the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the strain. "Why did it become like this? Why?" Luo Lingshan kept asking herself, but she couldn't find the answer.

Yun Mohan continued to stare at her intently, without the slightest hint of emotion. Luo Lingshan felt as if she were in an ice cellar, and everything around her became so cold and unfamiliar.

She closed her eyes in despair, letting the tears slide down her cheeks. Her once passionate heart gradually broke at this moment.

Xing Xuanli held Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) by the hand and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Her voice was gentle as water, filled with concern and doubt. Xing Xuanli raised her head, her watery eyes gazing at Yun Mohan, trying to find the answer from his face.

Yun Mohan frowned slightly, but did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, Xing Xuanli pulled his hand and said, "Don't keep it in your heart, tell me."

Yun Mohan sighed softly and said slowly: "I just saw Luo Lingshan, and some things in the past came to mind, and I felt a little depressed."

Xing Xuanli leaned gently on his arm and said, "Don't worry about it. Let the past be the past."

Yun Mohan nodded, "With you by my side, I will try to let it go."

Xing Xuanli smiled sweetly, "That's right. If you have any troubles in the future, you must tell me the first time."

Yun Mohan patted her head lovingly, "Okay."

The Great Elder, with a serious expression on his face, slowly walked up to the stage, holding a thick list in his hands. The eyes of the crowd below followed his figure closely, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

The Great Elder cleared his throat and spoke in a resonant voice, "Everyone, now is the crucial moment of announcing your individual achievements. These achievements not only represent your individual efforts and contributions, but also bear on the honor and future of the sect."

The people in the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and felt uneasy.

The great elder flipped open the roster and began to read aloud: "Zhang San, you performed outstandingly and achieved excellent results in this trial, with an overall score of A." The disciple who was named showed an expression of surprise and pride on his face.

Everyone was waiting nervously and expectantly, and the scene was so quiet that only the sound of light breathing could be heard.

The Great Elder had a serious expression on his face, his gaze swept over the crowd calmly, and he slowly said, "No. 30, Hehuan Sect, Liu Yiyi."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. The disciples of the Hehuan Sect were stunned at first, and then a complex expression appeared on their faces, a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Liu Yiyi must have put in a lot of effort to be able to represent the Hehuan Sect and rank among the top 30 this time. However, there is still room for improvement in the depth of her practice of martial arts and the application of practical skills. I hope she can make greater progress in the future." The voice of the great elder continued to be heard.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect looked at each other and secretly made up their minds to achieve better results in the future and live up to this rare ranking.

The disciples from other sects began to whisper to each other. Some expressed their approval of the Hehuan Sect's achievements, while others thought they were just lucky.

"Hmph, maybe Liu Yiyi is just lucky." A disciple in green clothes muttered softly.

Don't say that! To be in the top 30 means you're capable," the yellow-robed disciple next to him retorted.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little subtle, and everyone was waiting for the Great Elder to announce the next ranking.

Liu Yiyi stood among the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, biting her lip tightly, and secretly vowed in her heart: "I will definitely work harder and make everyone look at the Hehuan Sect with new eyes!"

No. 29, Wanjian Sect, Li Yifeng.

The moment this name was uttered, there was another commotion at the scene. The expressions of the Wanjian Sect disciples varied, some showing disappointment, while others looked determined.

Li Yifeng was startled when he heard his name, then a flicker of resentment crossed his face. He clenched his fists, secretly regretting why he hadn't performed better.

The Great Elder looked at Li Yifeng and said slowly, "Li Yifeng, you are quite talented in swordsmanship. It's not easy for you to make it into the top 30 this time. But you still need to work harder on your understanding of the sword and the cultivation of your mind. Don't let down the reputation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

The other disciples of Wanjian Sect listened to the words of the Great Elder and cast encouraging glances at Li Yifeng.

"Brother, don't be discouraged, let's go back and keep working hard!" a young disciple shouted.

"Yes, we will definitely get a better ranking next time!" another disciple echoed.

Li Yifeng took a deep breath and bowed to the Great Elder and his fellow disciples. "Thank you for your teachings, Elder. I will redouble my efforts to bring honor to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

The disciples from other sects around were also whispering about it.

"Li Yifeng from the Wanjian Sect is indeed a formidable swordsman, but he may not have displayed his skills well this time."

“Maybe next time I can make it into the top 20.”

Everyone's eyes showed both affirmation of Li Yifeng and expectation for the future performance of Wanjian Sect.

No. 28, Weapon Refining Sect, Zhao Linger.

The announcement of this name caused a stir among the disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect. Zhao Linger herself was also filled with surprise, as if she had not expected to receive such a ranking.

The Great Elder looked at Zhao Linger and said calmly, "Zhao Linger, you have shown considerable talent and potential in weapon refining, but your results this time are merely unsatisfactory. The art of weapon refining requires meticulous attention to detail and the pursuit of perfection. Your control of the heat and the use of materials are not yet precise enough, and you still need more practice."

Zhao Linger nodded seriously and responded, "I will keep the elder's teachings in mind. I will study harder in the future to improve my weapon refining skills."

The other disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect also said, "Junior Sister Ling'er, let's work together. Next time, we will definitely be able to take the Weapon Refining Sect's ranking to a higher level!"

Some of the disciples from the surrounding sects cast envious glances, while others were whispering about it.

"It's already quite good for the Weapon Refining Sect to have achieved such an achievement."

"That's right, refining weapons is not an easy task. Zhao Linger is quite impressive to be ranked 28th."

The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, and everyone was eagerly waiting for the Great Elder to announce the next rankings.

The Great Elder then announced the next one.

He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "No. 27, Baihua Valley, Su Yao."

When the disciples of Baihua Valley heard this name, they showed joy on their faces. Su Yao stepped forward and saluted the Great Elder. The Great Elder nodded slightly and said, "Su Yao, you have made some achievements in identifying herbs and researching pill formulas, but your success rate in actual alchemy needs to be improved. You must not be proud and complacent, and you must continue to work hard." Su Yao replied solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I understand."

The Great Elder glanced over the crowd again and continued, "Next, number 26, Beast Tamer, Lin Mo Ran." Hearing his name, Lin Mo Ran stepped forward with a confident smile. The Great Elder said, "Lin Mo Ran, you've performed well in communicating with and coordinating with spirit beasts, but you need to work harder on nurturing and evolving them to unlock their potential." Lin Mo Ran bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to your expectations, Elder."

At this time, the people in the audience were becoming more and more nervous, and they were all guessing what ranking their disciples would get.

No. 25, Tiexuetang, Xiao Jing.

When the Great Elder called out this name, everyone in the Iron Blood Hall had different expressions on their faces. Xiao Feng himself had a determined look on his face as he strode forward.

The Great Elder looked at Xiao Feng and said, "Xiao Jing, your bravery and fearlessness in battle are commendable, but your strategic application and adaptability are still somewhat lacking. If you can address these shortcomings, you will surely make great strides in the future."

Xiao Jing clasped his fists and saluted, then replied in a resounding voice, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I will definitely keep it in mind and work hard to improve!"

The other disciples of the Iron Blood Hall cheered for Xiao Feng: "Brother Xiao, well done! Let's keep going!"

People from other sects around also cast glances of admiration or scrutiny.

"Xiao Jing from the Tiexuetang is indeed worthy of his reputation. If he could be more flexible, his performance would probably be even better." Someone whispered.

When the disciples of Tiexuetang heard such discussions, they secretly vowed in their hearts that they must make their sect achieve better results in the next evaluation.
