I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Before Yun Qingyi could speak, the disciples all said, "Uncle-Master, don't listen to her."

"Yes, she's using reverse psychology. Uncle-Master, please don't fall for it."

"This madwoman is capable of anything, Uncle-Master, just ignore her."

"This is a life-or-death contract. Since the founding of the Xuanmiao Sect, apart from the first person to sign a life-or-death contract, I have never seen any other record of signing one."

……

After listening for a while, Yun Qingyi seemed to understand the meaning of the life-or-death agreement. It was similar to the literal meaning: the two people who signed the life-or-death agreement were not bound by the sect's rules.

The two fought to the death.

Only killing the other can stop this duel.

Yun Qingyi remained silent, took Yun Qingrou's hand, walked around Lu Ran, and went straight ahead.

She must be sick for her to agree to this life-or-death contract. Does she think she's got nothing better to do?

But Lu Ran wouldn't let Yun Qingyi leave; he grabbed Yun Qingyi's hand.

"Let go!" Yun Qingyi said coldly.

"Is this the courage you have as a disciple of the sect leader?" Upon hearing this, Lu Ran not only didn't let go, but instead tightened his grip even more.

Yun Qingyi didn't want to waste any more words. With a palm strike imbued with spiritual power, Lu Ran fell to the ground some distance away.

He then coldly replied, "Just because you're sick doesn't mean I'm sick too."

To everyone's surprise, Lu Ran's face contorted upon hearing this, and he stood up and frantically released his spiritual power regardless of the occasion.

"Yun Qingyi, who are you calling sick?!"

"Would I have become like this if it weren't for you?"

"It's all your fault! Your position as the sect leader's disciple should have been mine!"

Wind elemental energy continued to rage outside the Merit Pavilion, and several disciples with lower cultivation levels were accidentally injured.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou simultaneously unleashed a palm strike, knocking Lu Ran unconscious to the ground.

Just as Lu Ran fainted, a figure instantly appeared, scooped her up from the ground, and said with heartache, "Ran'er? Ran'er?"

After checking on Lu Ran's body, they found that she had just fainted and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Qingyi looked at the man. Although his hair and beard were white, his face looked like that of a middle-aged man.

The man looked at Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou with icy eyes: "Didn't the sect rules tell you that you can't fight privately, and you can't hurt sect disciples at will just because you have higher cultivation levels?"

"According to the sect's penal code, you must now go to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment!"

The disciples beside him looked at the angry man in front of them. Although they were a little scared, they still mustered up their courage and said, "Immortal Venerable Changqing, it was Lu Ran who went crazy first, disregarding the occasion. The two senior uncles just stopped her."

"That's right, Immortal Venerable Changqing, all the disciples around us have been injured by Lu Ran. If the two senior uncles don't take action, even more disciples will get hurt."

“Immortal Venerable Changqing, you cannot ignore the facts just because Senior Sister Lu Ran grew up in your care. No matter how you look at it, this matter is Senior Sister Lu Ran’s problem.”

To everyone's surprise, when the Immortal Venerable Changqing heard his disciples' words, his expression became even more gloomy, and he raised his hand and instantly released his pressure.

He roared, "Insolence!"

The powerful pressure slammed Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou against the stone railing in the distance, shattering it in two.

Yun Qingyi's body seemed numb and unable to move, and a bloody taste seemed to rise from her throat.

With a "whoosh," Yun Qingyi spat out a mouthful of blood, her face as pale as paper.

"Sister?!" Yun Qingrou was in a slightly better condition than Yun Qingyi. Although she was also pale, she could at least move. She turned to the side to help Yun Qingyi up, but her body was too heavy, making it extremely difficult to move.

Yun Qingyi inwardly complained.

It's unbelievable. What did she do to deserve this? She had just recovered from her injuries, and then she got beaten up again as soon as she came back.

The disciples outside the Merit Pavilion were all suppressed by the aura of Immortal Venerable Changqing, their faces were also extremely pale, and they dared not speak out against their anger.

However, the impact of the pressure on the inner sect was much smaller. The elders who had the capacity contacted the sect leaders of Ci Gui and Qing Yue. Bai Xiao, who was hiding in a corner, sent dozens of messages to Ci Gui through public communication.

Within the small world, Ci Gui, who was holding a rabbit and sipping tea, sensed a surge of information flowing into the jade pendant that he hadn't used in a long time.

Thinking that it might have been given to him by Yun Qingyi, he took out the jade tablet to check it.

Before I could even finish reading the first line, the aura around me suddenly dropped several degrees, and I vanished into my little world in an instant.

Outside the Merit Pavilion, Immortal Venerable Changqing suddenly felt an intense killing intent, but he couldn't pinpoint its direction.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed towards him.

In that instant, Immortal Venerable Changqing only had time to put a protective shield on Lu Ran in his arms.

The disciples nearby had erected protective shields the moment the spiritual energy struck, so they were not affected by it.

Changqing collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood just like Yun Qingyi. Upon seeing the newcomer, his face showed disbelief, and he angrily exclaimed, "Ci Gui, how dare you attack me and Ranran!"

"She's your junior brother's grandson!"

Ci Gui's face was icy cold. He ignored Changqing Immortal Venerable and strode to Yun Qingyi. With each step he took closer, his anger intensified.

At this moment, the Qingyue Sect Master also rushed over, his face filled with extreme anger. When he saw Yun Qingrou lying on the ground in a disheveled state, he was almost heartbroken and cried.

"Qingrou! How are you? Does it hurt?"

Before even getting close, she quickly cast healing spells on the two people on the ground. The Qingyue Sect Master used almost all the most advanced and useful spells she had ever learned on the two of them.

Soon after, Yun Qingyi felt a warm sensation in her body, and the pain gradually disappeared. At the same time, she regained control of her body.

The two bodies were quickly restored to normal under the powerful healing magic.

Yun Qingyi was amazed to find that she felt no discomfort at all.

Is this the power of a top-tier healing cultivator? That's incredible!

Seeing that Yun Qingyi was alright, Ci Gui's heart was finally at ease. He didn't even realize that a fine layer of cold sweat had seeped out on his back.

He then slowly walked towards Immortal Venerable Changqing.

Seeing that Sect Master Qingyue had healed Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou, Immortal Venerable Changqing whispered to Sect Master Qingyue, "Qingyue, could you also help me check on Ranran? She was knocked unconscious by Cigui and your little disciple."

The Qingyue Sect Master snorted coldly and made no move.

"What makes you think that you would help protect Lu Ran after you injured Qingyue's disciple?" Ci Gui coldly stared at Changqing Immortal Venerable sitting on the ground.

"It was your two junior disciples who attacked first. I was the one who injured your two junior disciples. It wasn't Ranran. If you have any anger, take it out on me!" Immortal Venerable Changqing said angrily.

Then he looked at Sect Leader Qingyue: "Qingyue, are you really that heartless? She is your senior brother's grandson!"

Immortal Venerable Changqing sneered: "You two actually disregard your own senior and junior brothers' grandsons for the sake of outsiders. Have you forgotten how Lu Yi died back then!"

"And Ranran's parents, they all died because of your Xuanmiao Sect!"
