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

???

Cang Xiaolin stared wide-eyed at Ling Ruxin.

Junior sister, how can you betray your senior brother like this?

Senior brother, those points you earned weren't easy to come by! I represent the Wunian Sect, if I give them to her, wouldn't my Wunian Sect be at the bottom?

Ling Ruxin's words startled Su Yu, who shook his head and said:

“Junior Sister Ruxin, there’s no need for that. I can win the top spot on the leaderboard on my own.”

Ling Ru thought for a moment. "Then, Sister Qingyi, why don't we go together? That way, we can look out for each other?"

"After all, it's easier to get things done with more people."

Su Yu declined, saying, "It's not necessary. After all, we don't represent the same sect, so it's better to go our separate ways."

Hearing this, Ling Ruxin didn't insist.

Indeed, friction and disputes are likely to arise when two people work together to earn points.

After all, only a few sects participated in the competition.

So, she looked towards the southeast and slowly said, "Sister Qingyi, when my senior brother and I came here, I seemed to sense Ye Xuan's aura."

"He should have been in a valley about 20,000 meters to the southeast half an hour ago. You can go there to look for him. It will be more convenient if you travel together."

"Ye Xuan?"

Su Yu was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ye Xuan to be so close to him now.

No!

He doesn't want to run into those two before he reaches the top of the list!

"Thank you for the reminder, Junior Sister Ruxin."

"Since there's nothing else, then Qingyi will take her leave."

After chatting briefly with Ling Ruxin, he left.

"Okay, after the competition, Sister Qingyi, your junior sister will come to visit you... Hey! Wait! Senior sister, you're going the wrong way!"

"Ye Xuan is going in the opposite direction!"

Seeing Su Yu heading in the opposite direction, Ling Ruxin immediately reminded her.

"......"

"Thank you."

Su Yu thanked him, then transformed into a white ray of light and disappeared into the white mist.

"Junior sister, you seem to care too much about Mu Qingyi, don't you?"

Cang Xiaolin asked, puzzled, "Until Su Yu's figure completely disappeared."

He had never seen his junior sister care about someone so much.

In the Wunian Sect, apart from her senior uncle and the few other disciples she had to interact with at the same time, she basically didn't know anyone else.

He was very withdrawn and his behavior was somewhat strange, let alone his current enthusiasm.

Ling Ruxin didn't deny it; her deep eyes were fixed on Su Yu's departing figure. "Perhaps...because she's beautiful?"

Another place.

After being driven away by Su Yu, Feng Hefeng led a group of disciples from the Extreme Imperial Palace and fled in panic.

We stopped at a rocky area.

"Senior Brother Hefeng, all our points have been stolen. What do we do now?"

"Senior Brother Hefeng, why don't we go find Senior Brother Ruqing and ask him to avenge us!"

"Although Mu Qingyi is powerful, he is definitely no match for Senior Brother Ruqing. As long as we tell him about our points being taken, Senior Brother Ruqing will definitely avenge us!"

Feng Hefeng looked resentful; the points he had worked so hard to earn had been taken away just like that, and all his efforts had been in vain.

With their strength, they are no match for Mu Qingyi, so it seems they have no choice but to seek out Ji Ruqing.

Only Ji Ruqing could deal with Mu Qingyi.

As they were talking, a streak of blue light flashed across the horizon.

Finally, it transformed into a human figure and appeared before them.

"Ru, Senior Brother Ruqing?!"

"Senior Brother Ruqing, you came as soon as I mentioned you?!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the crowd, who had been on guard, were overjoyed and instantly surrounded him like stars around the moon.

The newcomer was none other than Ji Ruqing, the number one prodigy of the Imperial Palace.

He was on his way to find Qingyi when he happened to pass by and tried to avoid Feng and his group.

However, noticing that something was wrong with their situation, they still went out to check on them.

"Feng and Feng, what exactly happened? You're injured? Who did this?"

Ji Ruqing frowned slightly. He knew Feng Hefeng quite well; he was a veteran mid-stage Ascending Emperor Realm expert, and there were few who could defeat him in the secret realm.

So it seems someone is going to challenge his Imperial Palace?

"I......"

Feng Hefeng hesitated, unable to bring himself to tell Ji Ruqing that he had been beaten.

"Senior Brother Ruqing, all of our points have been stolen! You must avenge us!"

"Yeah, senior brother, we're in such a terrible situation!"

"Senior brother, she's too arrogant! She said you're nothing in front of her! She looks down on you, so when we argued with her, she beat us all up! That woman is so arrogant!"

"She not only injured us, but also disregarded the reputation of our Imperial Palace and stole the points we worked so hard to earn! Senior brother, you must stand up for us!"

The disciples of the Imperial Palace pitied Ji Ruqing and wailed.

"You stole all your points?"

Although Ji Ruqing knew that these fellow disciples from the sect were exaggerating, they wouldn't have said that if their points hadn't really been stolen.

His tone suddenly turned cold. Although they were disappointing, they were still people from the Imperial Palace.

Stealing other people's points and injuring them indiscriminately—no matter who it is, he naturally has to seek justice!

"Who did this? Tell me."

"It's Mu Qingyi from the Zhan Yue Sect!"

"Yes, it's that woman Mu Qingyi! She stole our points and injured us! Senior brother, you have to stand up for us!"

"That woman may be as beautiful as an angel, but she has the heart of a viper! She even looks down on you, senior brother; she's too arrogant and haughty!"

"......"

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother Ruqing?"

The brief silence alerted everyone to something amiss.

When Ji Ruqing uttered the name Mu Qingyi, her expression changed noticeably.

First came shock, then confusion, and then his face turned ashen, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, clearly indicating that he had reached a point of intense rage.

The suffocating pressure emanating from Ji Ruqing sent a chill down everyone's spines, even Feng Hefeng's expression changed.

"Senior brother, what's wrong? Don't scare us..."

"Could it be that you and Mu Qingyi had a past conflict? Do you know her, Senior Brother?"

Ji Ruqing suppressed his anger, his face fell, and he spoke each word clearly.

"I'll ask you one more time, was the person who hurt you really Mu Qingyi?"

"......"

"Yes, it's her..."

Everyone sensed the change in Ji Ruqing's emotions; their tone became low, and some even lowered their heads.

boom!

Ji Ruqing unleashed the oppressive aura of a late-stage Ascending Emperor Realm expert, which, along with the power of the Azure Cloud Sword Body, rippled outwards.

Everyone was shaken by this terrifying power, their blood and qi surging.

If Ji Ruqing hadn't deliberately held back, she would probably have been seriously injured and unconscious!

"Explain yourself clearly! Did she harm you, or did you... frame her!"

"Tell me everything, otherwise..."

As he spoke, a dense blue light filled the surroundings, and everyone felt as if an invisible sword was hanging above their heads, ready to take their lives at any moment.

"I...it was definitely her who stole our points!..."

Some people shouted in frustration, while others offered trembling explanations.

"Senior Brother Ruqing, it's like this. Originally, when we met Mu Qingyi, there was no friction between us, but..."

"But what?!"

"But Senior Brother Hefeng coveted Fairy Qingyi's third-ranked points, so he ordered us to gang up on her. In the end, we were no match for her, and the fairy stole our points instead..."

“Yes, senior brother, what Yanluo said is true, that’s how it is…” someone echoed.

They finally understood that Ji Ruqing cared a lot about Mu Qingyi.

Could it be that Senior Brother Ruqing knows Mu Qingyi of the Zhan Yue Sect? What exactly is their relationship?

"Feng Hefeng...."

Ji Ruqing's face was ashen as he walked step by step toward Feng Hefeng.

With each step taken, the terrifying Azure Cloud Sword Intent swept out like a raging storm.

He forced Feng Hefeng to kneel on the ground.
