This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Room number ten, the "sky" room.

Ye Xuan sat on the tea chair, his gaze fixed on the adjacent No. 9 room, his golden eyes reflecting a hint of doubt.

"It's strange. Ever since my senior sister failed to make me her junior brother, she has always felt a bit distant and resentful towards me."

"But tonight he's been rather docile..."

In the past, except for those crucial moments, she would always distance herself from me to some extent.

Is it because I arrived in time tonight that they are being a little gentler with me?

"........"

"possible."

Ye Xuan put his thoughts aside and stopped thinking about it.

"Teacher, do you think I'm a match for Ji Ruqing with my current strength?"

Wu Laodao said, "Most likely not. He is also a Supreme Body, the strongest sword physique in the True Spirit Continent, not much worse than your Celestial Body."

“His cultivation is two minor realms higher than yours, so he should have awakened the Azure Cloud Sword Body earlier than you.”

"That won't work..."

Ye Xuan was slightly disappointed. In this competition of the four sects, Ji Ruqing was probably the only one who posed a threat to him.

"Teacher, you said that Ji Ruqing is also a Supreme Physician. Is it possible that he is also a person with great fortune?"

"Just like how I received your help, teacher."

After a moment of contemplation, Elder Wu said, "That's possible, but if you want to know his secrets, you'll eventually have to meet him."

“Ji Ruqing…” Ye Xuan nodded, slowly focusing his mind.

For some reason, he had a feeling that he would eventually have a real showdown with Ji Ruqing...

Room number nine, the "sky" room.

After a night of cultivation, Su Yu successfully absorbed the Star Luo Sprout and finally broke through to the mid-stage of the Ascending Emperor Realm.

until the next day.

The elders who had gone to the city lord's mansion also turned back to the merchant guild.

"Elder, how is the situation?"

An old man in a yellow robe replied, "With the help of the Imperial Palace, the remnants of the Three-Colored Holy Sect have been completely wiped out. The situation is normal, and the Four Sects Grand Competition has not been affected."

No impact?

Actually, Su Yu really wanted to stop the match and have everything go smoothly.

"What was the purpose of the Three Colors Holy Sect's surprise attack on Mu City in the middle of the night?" Jiang Yixue asked curiously from the side.

"They came specifically to create chaos, and one of their goals was to capture geniuses, but they didn't succeed at all."

"Alright, the competition is about to begin. The Imperial Palace team has already set off for the Myriad Spirits Platform. We should go too."

Most of the prodigies didn't take the elders' replies to heart.

The four major sects are already considered the overlords of the Eastern Xuan Region, and they do not believe that anyone can act recklessly in front of them.

Therefore, they are now paying more attention to the four major competitions.

Those who emerge victorious from the grand competition are undoubtedly the most outstanding geniuses in the Eastern Xuan Region.

Riding on the spirit sail, Zhan Yue Sect headed to Wan Ling Tai.

After traversing countless mountains and valleys, the group finally arrived at Wanlingtai.

It was an enormous plaza standing amidst the mountains, cast from granite.

Outside the square stand ancient stone pillars and statues.

"Looks like everyone's here?"

Hu Shou led the Zhan Yue Sect members to the center of the square.

There were three teams in the square.

These are the Imperial Palaces headed by Zong Hongbo.

Zong Hongbo, a master of the Earthly Palace and a Celestial Venerable at the Perfection stage, is also touching upon the Daoist essence of the Holy Path.

The Tianyuan Sect, led by Wang Yanghui.

Wang Yanghui, a reclusive elder, has reached the Perfected Heavenly Venerable level.

The elders of the Wunian Sect, led by Ke Jing, are at the peak of their Heavenly Venerable status.

Surrounding them were a group of prodigies and the elders who accompanied and escorted them.

"Old Hu, it really is you leading the team this time." Zong Hongbo and the other two looked at Hu Shou with knowing expressions.

After all, the circle of the four major sects in the Eastern Xuan Region is only so small, and they have deep seniority, so they naturally know each other.

"Haha~ It's been two hundred years, how have the three of you been?" Hu Shou greeted the three of them...

The Imperial Palace area.

When the Zhan Yue Sect arrived, Ji Ruqing's gaze was fixed on Su Yu.

He was about to express some emotion, but then he remembered the agreement he made last night and held back.

"The Zhan Yue Sect has arrived?"

"I heard that a dark horse named Ye Xuan has emerged among this year's freshmen of the Zhan Yue Sect? He has become the champion of the martial arts tournament?"

"That's right, I heard he awakened some kind of divine body, and in just two months he actually jumped three major realms. Tsk tsk, not simple at all~"

Who is Ye Xuan?

"Look, it should be that golden-eyed youth walking at the very front..."

"The fluctuations in his aura are unfathomable; perhaps he has also achieved the Ascended Emperor Realm..."

"This year's class is really interesting."

"Isn't that Fairy Qingyi, the top-ranked Jade Immortal on the Zhan Yue Sect's list? She truly possesses unparalleled beauty, rarely seen in the world. I've heard her cultivation talent is also second to none, perhaps even comparable to Ye Xuan's..."

"Not only are they rare in the world, they are practically unparalleled in the world!"

After the Zhan Yue Sect entered, the geniuses of the three major sects began to whisper among themselves and sized them up.

Even Man Yangyun of Tianyuan Sect and Cang Xiaolin of Wunian Sect glanced at him, sensing a sense of oppression emanating from Ye Xuan.

The Zhan Yue Sect area.

Xuan Siyin's gaze lingered on the prodigies of various sects, finally settling on the figure at the very front of the Extreme Imperial Palace.

She excitedly tugged at Su Yu's sleeve.

"Junior Sister! Junior Sister! That man is so handsome! It seems he must be Ji Ruqing. He really is like a reincarnation of a sword immortal!"

"I really like his type!"

Su Yu patted Xuan Siyin's hand with a slight headache. "Senior Sister, calm down, calm down. We can't lose face for our Zhan Yue Sect."

"We need to keep a low profile."

"But he's so handsome, and his cultivation level is so high..."

Xuan Siyin still clung to Su Yu's sleeve, unwilling to let go.

Su Yu: "......."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan frowned and looked at Ji Ruqing.

When Su Yu entered, Ji Ruqing also noticed Ye Xuan, who had been following Su Yu the whole time.

Their eyes met for a split second.

Their sharp gazes were equally unyielding, like two powerful kingly wills locked in a fierce battle.

An invisible aura subtly spread, creating a delicate resonance between Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing.

The golden vortex and the cyan sword intent erupted uncontrollably.

A standoff ensued.

Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing's eyes narrowed simultaneously.

They could sense the incredible power within each other.

"what happened?"

"What's going on with Ji Ruqing and Ye Xuan? How did they suddenly get together?"

"Such an overwhelming sense of oppression! Even ordinary elders have never given me this suffocating pressure..."

"Ji Ruqing is going up against Ye Xuan? Does he think Ye Xuan poses a threat to him?"

Everyone present noticed something was wrong, even the elders, including Hu Shou, took notice.

Those present included the Five Elements Sacred Bodies as well as other divine bodies.

However, Ji Ruqing happens to have a subtle connection with this Ye Xuan.

It's over, it's over....
