All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

She was just watching the show from the sidelines; why would she participate in her trial?

She glared angrily at Feng Ning, "Are you crazy? My father was testing you, why did you lock me up here?"

Feng Ning smiled and said, "If you want to prove that I have the ability to protect myself, then I can only ask my senior sister to help me verify it. If you can break my formation, then it means that you are better at cultivating the sword path. If you can't break it, then you are better at cultivating the formation."

Qin Ya was speechless. "Then why don't you ask your senior brother? He's already a Nascent Soul stage expert. Wouldn't it be more suitable for you to try with him?"

Feng Ning laughed, "I'm not stupid. If I'm looking for someone to test a formation, I'll naturally look for someone with a similar cultivation level. It would be crazy for me to go and provoke someone in the Nascent Soul stage."

Hearing the two arguing, Sect Master Qin interrupted them, "Alright, Ya'er, why don't you try out this formation and see how effective it is? Win or lose, consider it a test for her."

Hearing her father's words, Qin Ya had no choice but to give it a try, no matter how unwilling she was.

She immediately drew her sword and began attacking the formation.

Unfortunately, a whole incense stick's worth of time had passed, and the formation remained completely unmoved. Qin Ya was indeed exhausted.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm too tired. What kind of broken formation is this? I can't open it at all."

Feng Ning smiled. "Just because I'm trapping you, you can't break free? I haven't even started my attack yet."

Qin Ya was taken aback and immediately became wary. "What do you mean?"

Feng Ning snapped her fingers, and both the positive and negative arrays were immediately activated, transforming the original binding array into an attack array.

Qin Ya had already exhausted too much energy, and now she was somewhat powerless to resist.

However, Feng Ning only demonstrated the formation, using less than 20% of its power before dispelling it.

He scared Qin Ya a little, then let go.

Qin Ya sat to one side to recover her spiritual energy.

Feng Ning then turned to look at the sect leader, "Does the sect leader still think that the formation is useless?"

The sect leader's interest deepened, and he nodded with a smile, "It seems that I underestimated you. You are a very interesting little girl. I have never seen anyone use formations as skillfully as you."

"Thank you for the praise, Sect Master."

"However, I still hope you can reconsider. Your ice spirit root is very suitable for cultivating swordsmanship, and it would be a real pity to learn formations."

The sect leader felt a little regretful. It was a pity that one cannot do two things at once; otherwise, he really wanted this girl to cultivate both paths.

The formations are good, and the swordsmanship is good too.

Feng Ning smiled and said nothing more.

Chu An also smiled, "Master, can she join the Myriad Swords Sect now? Does she still need to participate in the new disciple selection?"

At this moment, Qin Ya stopped recovering and jumped up.

"No, she must participate. Our sect always selects disciples through a selection process. How can she be an exception? It's unfair to the other disciples."

The sect leader hesitated. It was indeed not good to set a precedent, otherwise, wouldn't it be stigmatized as someone who used connections?

Seeing that the sect leader was about to waver, Chu An quickly said, "Master, I remember that the sect has a rule that if someone has extremely high talent, they can skip the selection process and join the sect directly. This way, it can also prevent people from other sects from finding out about the disciples with too much talent, and protect the genius disciples."

The sect leader thought for a moment and nodded, "There is such a rule."

Since no such person had ever appeared before, no one paid much attention to it.

Qin Ya stomped her foot angrily, "You two are really unreasonable!"

Then he turned to Feng Ning and said, "So tell me yourself, do you want to be the only exception? You want to enter the sect directly without participating in the selection. Do you think that's fair to the others?"

Feng Ning tilted her head and looked at her, "Did you participate in the sect selection?"

Qin Ya sneered, "My father is the sect leader. I was born a member of the sect. Do I need to participate in the selection?"

"Then why were you allowed to make an exception?"

Qin Ya was taken aback. "I... I didn't make an exception. I was born into a sect and I'm a member of the sect."

Feng Ning shook her head. "You were born into a sect, which only proves that you belong to the sect. But if you want to become a disciple of the sect, you still have to participate in the selection process, right? So why can't you participate?"

Qin Ya didn't know how to refute, and hesitated for a long time without uttering a single word.

Feng Ning looked at her and said, "I think it's not just the descendants of other elders in your sect who can enter the sect directly without going through the selection process, right? If these people can be exceptions, why can't I?"

“I am qualified to be recommended for admission, so I should naturally enjoy the rights I deserve, instead of wasting my time on those useless selections. The so-called selection is just to select the useful people and eliminate the unusable ones. I have already been identified as a useful person, so if I participate in the selection, wouldn’t I be taking up a spot for a useful person?”

Qin Ya had to admit that she seemed to be persuaded.

"If you put it that way, it doesn't seem wrong."

Feng Ning nodded approvingly, "It's good that you understand. You should know that as long as you are qualified enough, many doors in this world will open automatically for you, instead of you having to knock on them one by one."

Qin Ya nodded blankly, and Chu An also looked thoughtful.

As for the sect leader, he sighed, "This child has a lot of ideas. Although they don't follow conventional logic, at least what he says isn't entirely wrong."

What's even more surprising is that she actually managed to persuade the fearless Qin Ya; that's truly remarkable.

He knows his own daughter well; she's not easily persuaded by others, and she has her own opinions.

But now, she actually convinced him.

Whether it was deception or persuasion, the fact that they eventually agreed with her is quite remarkable.

It seems I'll have to tell Madam about this when I get back, so she can have a good laugh too. It's rare to see Qin Ya, this clever little devil, get such a setback.

Seeing that Qin Ya no longer objected, the sect leader said with a smile, "Alright, then this matter is settled. An Yi, take your people to the Array Academy and hand her over to the Dean of the Array Academy, who will teach her carefully."

Before Chu Anyi could agree, Qin Ya pulled Feng Ning away, saying, "I'll take the senior brother there; I'll take him myself."

Feng Ning did not refuse and happily followed her.

As long as the goal is achieved, who cares who sent it?

But after they went outside, Qin Ya let go of her arm and looked at Feng Ning with a haughty expression.

"Let me tell you, even if you can stay, don't even think about getting close to Senior Brother. He's mine. If you dare to get close to him and bewitch him, don't blame me for being rude to you."
