The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

When Luo Shang came again, she brought those two large swords with her.

This knife looks beautiful displayed in a glass case, but now that it's exposed to the light, the bird and beast totems on the hilt seem to come alive.

Yun Fuzhao thought that the young girl Shang Jia would definitely like it.

"This knife is really beautiful. I can just imagine Shang Jia wielding it."

Song Ying praised it highly.

In the two days since Song Ying arrived, she hadn't dared to mention their affairs, because no matter what, they were implicated because of her. "Are they alright?"

“Senior Sister Yun, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to blame yourself.” Song Ying patted her shoulder. “If it weren’t for you, we would still be being bullied in the outer sect.”

My father always said, "A person should never be ungrateful. You were all alone and helpless then. If we had just stood by and watched, how would we have been any different from ingrates?"

Song Ying smiled, her tone carrying a comforting quality, "Besides, aren't we going to seek justice for ourselves now?"

Yun Fuzhao felt a warmth in her heart, and she sniffed, "What you said is quite touching."

"Haha, so don't think too much about it. None of us blame you. On the contrary, Wang Liang and the others said you're really cool, challenging Meng Ci'er like that."

"Miss Yun."

Luo Shang pushed open the door and entered, saying, "Everything is ready."

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

"Don't mention it." Luo Shang sat down, and Yun Fuzhao pushed the tea that had been poured towards her.

Luo Shang: "Meng Ci'er also invited people from the Xuantian Sect to this banquet."

Yun Fuzhao was not surprised, because the Xuantian Sect had already intended to recruit her because of Wen Yan. Now that she had also formed a contract with the Azure Phoenix, they couldn't wait to take her as their personal disciple.

"With the emergence of a Xuan-rank divine beast, the Boundless Sword Sect is currently riding high, and many other sects are eager to curry favor with them. Even the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, which usually doesn't associate with sects, has sent people. The scene will surely be quite spectacular..."

Yun Fuzhao smiled and said, "The more people, the better."

Luo Shang and Song Ying exchanged a glance and smiled.

Yu Nian'er sat in front of the bronze mirror, and a handsome man bent down to draw her eyebrows.

"Nian'er looks so beautiful today."

From the moment Meng Ci'er saw her, he couldn't hide his amazement. His fingertips gently touched her chin, his gaze focused and earnest.

Yu Nian'er blushed slightly, her fingers nervously clutching her clothes. "Master~ please stop teasing me."

"Just telling the truth."

Meng Ci'er put down her pen, took out a gold hairpin from her sleeve, and gently inserted it into her hair, the golden tassels swaying slowly.

The emotions in his eyes intensified.

Yu Nian'er sensed his intention and quickly stood up, pretending to look in the mirror, saying, "This hairpin is so beautiful."

"As long as you like it."

After admiring the scene for a while, Yu Nian'er casually mentioned, "Master, Brother Wen Yan said that Chang Shen is willing to accept me as his personal disciple."

Meng Ci'er's face darkened. "You already have me, why would you choose someone else as your master?"

“How could that be?” Yu Nian’er immediately stepped forward and hugged his arm. “Nian’er will only have one master in this life.”

Hearing her say that, Meng Ci'er's gloomy expression softened slightly.

"Nian'er, don't think about leaving your master. What Xuantian Sect can give you, your master can also give you. Even if you want the stars in the sky, your master will pluck them down and give them to you."

Meng Ci'er moved closer to her, his possessiveness almost overflowing in his eyes.

Yu Nian'er was a little scared, but she didn't show it on her face. She said coquettishly, "Master is just trying to coax me. How could I possibly pluck the stars from the sky? Besides, I don't want Master to do anything for me. I just want Master to stay with me for a long, long time."

He calmed Meng Ci'er down with just a few words, patting Yu Nian'er's head. "Alright. Most of the guests outside have arrived. Remember, everyone who came today is here to flatter you, so you don't need to be nervous."

Yu Nian'er smiled and said, "Nian'er understands."

At this moment, a considerable number of cultivators had already gathered outside.

"Heavens! Xuan Tian Sect, Ling Yue Sect, Wan Shou Valley... Our Wuya Sword Sect has really made something of itself."

"It's all thanks to Senior Sister Yu that I can sit with these major sects. I have no regrets in this life."

"Look at your arrogance. Even the biggest sects have to treat our Senior Sister Yu with utmost respect."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel so proud. They used to not even give us a second glance."

"Senior Sister Yu is out!"

The loud noise suddenly silenced the previously noisy hall.

Everyone looked at Yu Nian'er, who had arrived with an air of nonchalance.

She wore a pinkish-white Song Dynasty-style embroidered checkered skirt and her hair was styled in a high bun. Her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were like autumn waves; she was truly a beauty.

Everyone instinctively held their breath, speechless with admiration for her beauty.

Meng Ci'er led her to the main seat, saying, "You'll sit here today."

Yu Nian'er was startled. "Absolutely not, Master. Nian'er is a junior. How can I sit above you?"

"Listen to Master."

Hou Feiyu smiled broadly, "Junior Sister, please sit down. You're the star of the show today."

Some people whispered among themselves, "The sect leader of the Boundless Sword Sect really dotes on this little disciple."

"Isn't that obvious? If my apprentice were this amazing, I'd be happy to spoil him too."

"In comparison, Yun Fuzhao's treatment is far worse. One is pampered, while the other is murdered. Tsk tsk tsk."

“Yun Fuzhao brought this upon herself. She was quite talented to begin with, but she insisted on courting death. Who can she blame?”

Everyone was talking about it.

Yu Nian'er reluctantly took the seat of honor. The high position gave her a commanding presence, making her look down on everyone below.

Her blood was boiling, and she thoroughly enjoyed the envious glances coming from all directions.

The sects that came to the banquet all stepped forward to present Yu Nian'er with congratulatory gifts.

The Xuantian Sect sent many treasures, and the person who delivered them was Wen Yan, the sect leader's personal disciple.

Their gazes met, oblivious to everyone else.

Anyone with eyes can see they're having an affair.

After him came the Lingyue Sect.

Xie Wan stepped forward and said gently, "Miss Yu, these are the sixth-grade Holy Spirit Pill, the sixth-grade Jade Bone Fan, the sixth-grade Spirit-Communicating Crimson Cat, and the eighth-grade Heart-Protecting Array Diagram presented by our Lingyue Sect."

Upon hearing "eighth grade," everyone gasped in shock; Lingyue Sect had truly gone all out this time.

Yu Nian'er looked at her, and the corners of her lips slowly curved up. If she remembered correctly, Xie Wan and Yun Fuzhao were good friends.

“This girl looks so familiar,” Yu Nian’er frowned and thought, “I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

Hou Feiyu scoffed, "Isn't she the one who placed the recording stones throughout the entire cultivation world that time? She's in cahoots with Yun Fuzhao."

Yu Nian'er was surprised, and at the same time, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "So it was that time that made Nian'er a laughing stock of the world."

Xie Wan stood in the center, her smile becoming somewhat stiff. Remembering the sect leader's instructions, she said softly, "I was the one who offended you that time. I hope Miss Yu can forgive me."
