The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

The demon-slaying journey then became a two-person team, which made things much easier for Chang Ning. In most cases, she didn't have to take action. Yun Chao would handle the cases that she couldn't defeat or that she could easily defeat.

She would only fight against magical beasts of similar strength, and if anything unexpected happened, Yun Chao would be there to intervene in time.

Chang Ning's fighting spirit has improved, and needless to say, the spoils of war are all hers.

A few days later, most of the magical beasts in the Wuling Mountains disappeared, and the group prepared to return home.

Chang Ning and Yun Chao were waiting for their fellow disciples at the exit of Wuling Town when they unexpectedly encountered the Fairy of Wonderful Methods from the Thousand Machines Sect.

Upon seeing Chang Ning, Fairy Miaofa strode over aggressively, raised her chin, and sized her up before scoffing, "I really didn't expect that after thirty years, your cultivation level still hasn't broken through to the Golden Core stage. You're truly a waste!"

As the senior sister, Chang Ning, even though her strength was lacking, always kept her emotions hidden when she was out in the world. Hearing this, she did not get angry and simply said, "Oh, you were defeated by a piece of trash."

"you!"

Fairy Miaofa was immediately enraged, her face contorting for a moment. Chang Ning secretly prepared himself, ready to throw a few more talismans at her if she made a move!

Unexpectedly, after a moment of grimness, she suddenly calmed down: "The sect competition is in three months. You absolutely must come. I want to see if you can still be as arrogant as you are now!"

Chang Ning held his sword in his hand and remained silent.

Fairy Miaofa's eyes flashed with disdain: "You wouldn't dare to come, would you?"

"If you don't dare, just say so now, and I won't make things difficult for you. In the future, wherever this fairy appears, you can just stay away!"

Chang Ning glanced at her and said, "I will come, don't worry about me."

She was just thinking about the sect competition, a grand event held every thirty years in the cultivation world. Various sects send their young disciples to compete and spar. The young disciples are not ranked by age, but by cultivation level, limited to those at or below the Golden Core stage.

During the last competition, Chang Ning had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage with the help of elixirs. In one round, she happened to face this Fairy of Wonderful Methods, who was only at the second stage of Foundation Establishment. In terms of strength, she was definitely stronger than Chang Ning.

However, there is a rule in the competition that each cultivator can bring one magic weapon into the arena. Chang Ning's Lingxi Sword is of superior quality, capable of both offense and defense. At the Foundation Establishment stage, a magic weapon is enough to change the outcome of the competition.

Therefore, Changning won.

Even though she used a magical artifact, it wasn't considered cheating, and outsiders couldn't criticize her. However, it was very upsetting for the losing side. Naturally, Fairy Miaofa was extremely dissatisfied, believing that her victory was unfair.

So many years have passed, and I've been waiting to get my revenge.

Chang Ning hesitated for a moment, not realizing how quickly time had passed and the competition was about to begin again.

Looking at this Fairy of Wonderful Laws, it was clear that she had already broken through to the Golden Core stage. Upon hearing her reply, a malicious glint flashed in her eyes: "Then I'll wait and see! Let's see what kind of magic weapon you can pull out this time!"

Chang Ning's initial elation at the successful training subsided, and his face remained calm: "If there's nothing else, please return, fellow Daoist."

Fairy Miaofa chuckled and turned to leave.

At this moment, Ye Shuangyu and his three junior brothers had also returned. Chang Ning released the flying boat: "Let's go."

The group boarded the flying boat and watched it slowly grow larger. A fleeting look of envy and jealousy crossed their faces. For them at this stage, a superior means of transportation was very attractive.

Not to mention that this flying boat does not consume spiritual energy. I don't know how many spirit stones Master gave this senior sister. She has never been short of spirit stones after burning them for so many years!

Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Ye Shuangyu took out a Ganoderma lucidum from her storage ring and waved it in front of Chang Ning: "Senior Sister, look, this is a Golden Sand Red Ganoderma lucidum that Senior Brother Zheng gave me. It's over five hundred years old!"

Chang Ning nodded: "Congratulations."

Several junior brothers were dissatisfied, and the sixth junior brother, Wan Xiuping, spoke first: "Junior sister, you have a water elemental root, why did he give you this?"

Fifth junior brother Peng Ze said, "Yes, junior sister, this thing is only suitable for those with metal or fire spiritual roots."

Fourth Junior Brother Zhong Yuhe took something out of his storage ring and handed it to Ye Shuangyu: "Junior Sister, this is the Wisteria Ice Spirit Grass. I found it especially for you!"

A cultivator's spiritual roots are divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but this ice spirit grass can allow a water spiritual root to exert the effect of an ice spiritual root under specific conditions. It is a rare spiritual plant with one soft and one hard nature.

Ye Shuangyu was also quite pleased and immediately accepted it: "Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother!"

Zhong Yuhe smiled and said, "As long as Junior Sister is happy."

Chang Ning glanced at the Ice Spirit Grass and then looked away. She had no objection to this behavior; it belonged to someone else, and they could give it to whomever they wanted.

However, Ye Shuangyu seemed to have misunderstood. When she saw Chang Ning looking over, she assumed that Chang Ning also wanted it, since she also had a water spirit root.

Ye Shuangyu immediately put the Danling Grass away and asked, "I wonder if Senior Sister found any spiritual treasures or plants this time?"

Chang Ning said, "No."

Ye Shuangyu was not surprised. First, it was impossible for any rare treasures to appear in such a place. Second, even if there were some mid-to-high-grade spiritual plants, this senior sister would not be able to obtain them with her strength. It was already quite good that she was able to return safely!

She smiled and presented the red Ganoderma lucidum to Chang Ning: "I just heard that Senior Sister is going to participate in the Grand Competition, but it seems that she doesn't have much of a chance against Fairy Miaofa. Why don't I give this red Ganoderma lucidum to Senior Sister? It can protect Senior Sister's cultivation at the critical moment!"

Chang Ning said, "Thank you, junior sister, but it's no need."

After saying that, he got up and went into the room.

Ye Shuangyu snorted lightly. She was just saying it casually. Even if she didn't need this good thing herself, she would never give it away to this senior sister for nothing!

She turned to look at her junior brother, Yun Chao, who was sitting upright at the bow of the boat. This was originally Chang Ning's seat, but now it was occupied by him.

Ye Shuangyu walked over and said with a smile, "Junior brother, your senior sister has acquired quite a few good things this time. Is there anything you like..."

"Shut your mouth."

Before Ye Shuangyu could finish speaking, she heard Yun Chao utter four words. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Junior brother... umm!"

Yun Chao actually sealed her mouth shut. She reached out to pull him, but suddenly found that she couldn't move. Only her eyes could move!

The junior brother had already gotten up and left, leaving her standing there like a decoration. She was furious!

Upon returning to Qingyun Peak, Chang Ning left everyone behind and went to her room, which resembled the boudoir of a wealthy young lady from the secular world rather than the residence of a cultivator.

She was inside thinking about what to do about this competition. She couldn't run away at the last minute, otherwise, as the senior sister, she would not only lose face for herself, but also for her master and the Qingxiao Sect!

Just as she was racking her brains, a voice suddenly came to her ear: "Senior sister, do you need my help?"

"Just a small reward is all I need."

Chang Ning's brows furrowed. "How did you get in? Get out!"

The person who came was none other than the persistent junior brother, Yun Chao. He said, "If you refuse now, senior sister, and come back to me later, the price won't be the same."

Chang Ning snapped, "Get out of here!"
