Tang Xinyan quickly replied, "Senior Brother Liang, it's a sword."

Liang Yu was increasingly satisfied, stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Very good, your spiritual root was not wasted."

Wu Qi, the peak master of Qi Peak, curled his lips and said, "I've never heard of that. The lightning spirit root is only suitable for sword practice. Old Liang, you've gone too far."

Qin Feng, the peak master of the Body Peak, echoed this sentiment:

"That's right, physical training isn't necessarily a bad thing, but why does a good talent have to be suited for sword training?"

Li Le, the peak master of Fafeng, was also very dissatisfied:

"If you master lightning magic, it's no less powerful than swordsmanship. Swordsmanship isn't omnipotent, Lao Liang. I heard that your Qin Yuming lost to Li Liqiang yesterday."

Liang Yu choked, then snorted coldly:

"Winning and losing are common occurrences in war. I never said that sword practice is invincible."

Seeing that the conversation was getting increasingly heated, Hu Shengran, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, quickly tried to smooth things over with a cheerful smile:

"Hey you guys, why are you starting again? She has a master now."

Dan Yao clearly noticed Tang Xinyan's embarrassment and smiled as she advised her:

"It's just cultivation. If you ask me, every profession has its top performers. No matter what you specialize in, as long as you make progress, you'll be the most powerful."

Bai Jinming, the peak master of Zhenfeng, happened to arrive at this moment. Upon hearing Danyao's words, he smiled and agreed:

“Peak Master Dan is right. Innate suitability is very important, but hard work after birth is also extremely necessary.”

Wu Qi raised an eyebrow:

"Oh, Peak Master Bai is here. But what's with the wind blowing today? These words don't sound like something you would say."

A flicker of displeasure crossed Bai Jinming's eyes, but he maintained his smile and said calmly:

“Master Wu is joking. Although I am not very cultured, I do have some knowledge to share when I speak from the heart.”

Mu Qingchen, the peak master of Fufeng who came with Bai Jinming, also smiled and chimed in after sitting down:

"Senior Brother Bai is being modest. Everyone knows you are exceptionally talented and knowledgeable. After all, formations are a very profound subject, and you really can't understand them without some skill."

These words immediately pleased Bai Jinming, who laughed heartily and feigned humility, saying:

"Junior Brother Mu, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

The two men's insincere politeness caused the other peak masters to purse their lips and tacitly fall silent.

Tang Xinyan clearly sensed that although the peak masters were bickering, the atmosphere was quite ordinary, like family members arguing about trivial matters.

But the atmosphere changed noticeably when Bai Jinming and Mu Qingchen arrived, and you could tell something from their way of addressing each other.

This was the first time Tang Xinyan had seen Mu Qingchen in person since she transmigrated. She couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, thinking to herself:

'He does look presentable, perhaps due to the protagonist's halo; he does appear slightly better than the other male peak masters.'

This isn't to say that the other peak masters are less attractive than Mu Qingchen; it's just that the other peak masters might be influenced by their character settings.

Or perhaps their minds are focused on their main job and they don't care much about their appearance; some even deliberately grow beards to look more dignified.

As Tang Xinyan looked at Mu Qingchen, Mu Qingchen naturally noticed her and Ji Zeyang as well. Seeing the two sitting next to Dan Yao, he should have asked Dan Yao...

However, Dan Yao didn't like him, so he settled for second best and asked Wu Qi, who was standing next to Dan Yao:

"Peak Master Wu, may I ask who those two are?"

Wu Qi smiled politely and distantly, and introduced:

"These are Junior Brother Ji and Junior Sister Tang, disciples of Elder Xiao."

Mu Qingchen suddenly realized, and greeted Tang Xinyan and the other person with a smile:

"Junior Brother Ji, Junior Sister Tang, I happened to be in seclusion six years ago. After I came out, I heard that Elder Xiao had taken on a disciple. Today, I see that he is indeed exceptionally talented."

Tang Xinyan smiled politely and returned the greeting:

"You're too kind, Master Mu."

Upon hearing Tang Xinyan's address, Ji Zeyang and the other peak masters who had arrived earlier were somewhat surprised, but their surprise quickly turned to satisfaction.

After dealing with Mu Qingchen, Tang Xinyan intentionally searched for Liu Yinyin's figure in the audience. In scenes where the male lead is present, the female lead would definitely not be absent.

Judging from Mu Qingchen's attitude towards her just now, if Liu Yinyin had seen it, she would probably be extremely jealous of her now.

With that in mind, Tang Xinyan deliberately searched areas with strong visual presence, and sure enough, she quickly found Liu Yinyin.

They also caught the jealousy in Liu Yinyin's eyes. Caught red-handed, Liu Yinyin lowered her head in panic. She was extremely flustered and quickly suppressed the jealousy in her heart.

Today, she knew that the peak masters of each peak would attend the final competition. In order to leave a good impression on the peak masters, especially her Master Mu, she...

Before coming, she deliberately applied some makeup, and sure enough, along the way, her fellow students who came with her all praised her for looking very beautiful today.

Even at the competition venue, her senior brothers doted on her, surrounding her and constantly trying to strike up conversations with her, while leaving her senior sisters standing to the side.

But before she could be smug for long, a series of sighs came from the crowd, and even the senior brothers who had been praising her just moments before had their attention diverted.

Hearing the praises from the crowd and seeing their admiring and adoring gazes, Liu Yinyin was consumed with jealousy.

Especially when she saw Ji Zeyang standing next to Tang Xinyan, Liu Yinyin's mind went blank for a moment.

She thought Lu Chuan'an was the man of her dreams, but unexpectedly, there was someone even better. Liu Yinyin gazed at Ji Zeyang with infatuation.

It wasn't until the two of them went on stage and her senior brother called her that Liu Yinyin came back to her senses in a daze. Only then did she realize that her senior brother was asking her if she and Uncle Tang were the same age.

Seeing her nod, the fleeting look of disdain the senior brother gave her, and the increasingly worshipful gaze he cast at the stage, infuriated Liu Yinyin.

She couldn't help but look up at the stage, and only then did she notice that Ji Zeyang's gaze had been fixed on Tang Xinyan the whole time!

This made Liu Yinyin's jealousy towards Tang Xinyan so intense that she couldn't suppress it anymore. Liu Yinyin felt that men like Lu Chuan'an and Ji Zeyang should be hers.

Why are they all surrounding Tang Xinyan? However, Mu Qingchen's arrival did ease Liu Yinyin's expression slightly.

However, Mu Qingchen's smiling and friendly demeanor towards Tang Xinyan quickly made Liu Yinyin lose control, which led to Tang Xinyan catching her in the act.

Otherwise, given Liu Yinyin's years of hard-earned patience and forbearance, it would be quite difficult to make her reveal her true nature.

Ji Zeyang witnessed this scene, frowned slightly, and made a mental note of it.

They planned to get rid of Liu Yinyin after the competition. In Ji Zeyang and his group's eyes, there was no such thing as being from the same sect.

Seeing that all the peak masters had arrived, the elder presiding over the competition went up on stage and announced:
