After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

Lin Shu, who was walking at the back of the group, stepped on something, stumbled, and almost fell.

"Be careful," Mu Qianqian said quickly, grabbing his sleeve. "Be careful not to fall."

Lin Shu patted his chest, "Thank you, Senior Sister Mu."

Several people lined up to exit, and after a while, a leopard's roar echoed through the sky from the foot of Cloud Shore Cliff.

When Yun Zhao and the others went out, all the disciples who participated in the sect competition came out. The elder had someone count the number of people, and only Song Zhiyuan was left.

Lu Mingdao couldn't help but sigh, "Sect Master, Zhiyuan is really pushing himself too hard! There's only an incense stick's time left before the secret realm closes, and he's taking a risky move just to make sure our Qingyun Sect gets first place!"

"But," he said worriedly, "if we don't come out soon, the secret realm will close..."

Master Guiyuan frowned involuntarily.

No one knew Song Zhiyuan's character better than him. Logically speaking, he wouldn't put himself in danger for such a hollow reputation.

You should know that once the secret realm closes, it will not reopen until the next sect competition.

Xue Huairui, who was in the crowd, saw Yun Zhao and Bai Lingxiao come out together, but Song Zhiyuan was nowhere to be seen. She clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves.

Wasn't it said that Yun Zhao and his group of six left the secret realm first? How come they're with Bai Lingxiao and his two companions?

Xue Huairui thought for a moment, then walked up to Yun Zhao and asked timidly, "Senior Sister Yun, have you seen Senior Brother? He hasn't come out yet."

"I haven't seen him before," Yun Zhao said, puzzled. "Wasn't he with you? Didn't you come out together?"

Xue Huairui bit her lower lip and shook her head, saying, "Senior brother said he still has some things to do, so he told me to come out first."

Yun Zhao suddenly realized: "Then maybe he hasn't finished yet. There's still some time before the secret realm closes. Don't worry, Senior Brother Song will definitely be able to come out in time."

Xue Huairui forced a smile: "Senior Sister Yun, I understand."

Before leaving, she glanced at Bai Lingxiao and saw him standing next to Yun Zhao. The two were behaving intimately, and did not look like they had just had a fight.

Xue Huairui's heart sank.

Could Song Zhiyuan have been set up?

But no matter how she thought about it, it was no use. Fortunately, Song Zhiyuan was teleported out a second before the secret realm closed.

He was in a sorry state, his clothes were tattered and stained with blood.

Master Guiyuan rushed forward to check on him: "Zhiyuan, are you injured?"

Song Zhiyuan paused for a moment and said to Master Guiyuan, "It's just a minor injury, Master, don't worry."

After examining him and confirming that he was alright, Master Guiyuan had two disciples support him.

Xue Huairui ran to his side and asked with concern, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you...?"

Song Zhiyuan gestured for her to be quiet: "Senior brother is fine, let's talk about it when we get back."

Xue Huairui handed him a handkerchief, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself. Song Zhiyuan took it, wiped his face, and asked, "Xiaorui, what's wrong?"

"Senior brother," Xue Huairui bit her lower lip, "there's something I don't know if I should tell you..."

She spoke hesitantly, but her gaze was fixed on a certain spot. Song Zhiyuan followed her gaze and was immediately taken aback.

Then, his face turned grim, "Xiao Rui, we were..."

Looking at his two disciples supporting him on either side, Song Zhiyuan swallowed the words that were about to come out and changed his words, saying, "I can walk by myself, there's no need to trouble you two junior brothers."

Once they were all alone, Song Zhiyuan continued, "Xiao Rui, I'm afraid we've been tricked by them!"

Xue Huairui was at a loss. "Senior brother, what should we do?"

Song Zhiyuan took a deep breath. "Don't act rashly. Let's observe the situation."

Unsurprisingly, Qingyun Sect won first place. As planned, when the sect leaders were saying goodbye to each other, Yun Zhao invited Bai Lingxiao to stay at Qingyun Sect for a few days.

Master Guiyuan couldn't help but say, "Zhaozhao, I remember you and young friend Bai don't know each other."

Yun Zhao said shyly, "Sect Master, Senior Sister Bai and I met in the secret realm, we..."

She delivered the prepared script, seven parts truth and three parts falsehood. In short, it was a case of "no fight, no friendship," and then they became friends.

"Senior Sister Bai's swordsmanship is superb, I admire it very much and would like to learn from her."

"And Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Meng, we agreed to go together."

Luo Qingxu, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and Chen Zongyue, the sect leader of the Spirit Talisman Sect, were originally just background figures, but Yun Zhao's words brought them all into the picture.

Luo Qingxu exclaimed, "Ah, there's something between them too?"

Yun Zhao said matter-of-factly, "Our four major sects are closely connected, how could we be without our two senior brothers? We've already agreed."

Chen Zongyue laughed and said, "Since you've all agreed, then go have some fun."

Luo Qingxu meant the same thing.

Only Hu Guichen remained silent. Yun Zhao gave Lu Mingdao a pleading look, and Lu Mingdao took the opportunity to mediate between them: "Sect Leader Hu, the children have all made their promises, so please agree."

"It's just a short stay. If Sect Leader Hu is worried, I will send someone to personally escort Friend Bai back when the time comes."

Hu Guichen, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, said with difficulty: "If it were before, there would be no problem, but this time when we go back, Lingxiao's sword spirit needs to advance, and she will need to go into seclusion for a while."

"How about this, after Lingxiao comes out of seclusion, I'll have her go to the Qingyun Sect to find you, okay?"

Yun Zhao disagreed, "But Senior Sister Bai and I hit it off immediately and wish we could be together every day from now on. There's no rush for the Sword Spirit to advance, is there?"

"Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Meng are going too, how can we leave Senior Sister Bai behind? Uncle Hu, please grant my request."

Hu Guichen turned his gaze to Guiyuan Zhenren, who wanted to say something to persuade her, but Yun Zhao closed her eyes and said, "I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just a spoiled brat," carrying her spoiled and willful nature to the end, just like a pampered young lady.

In front of a large crowd, Yun Zhao, a young girl, tearfully wiped away her tears in front of several old men (middle-aged men), immediately attracting the attention of other cultivators.

The other two sect leaders felt very uncomfortable, so they helped to persuade Hu Guichen.

"Old Hu, the kids are getting along well, let them have a get-together. It will also show that the relationship between our four major sects is close."

"Yes, yes, there's no rush for the sword spirit to advance, but the younger generation from our four major sects hasn't gathered together in a long time, and we've all become estranged from each other..."

Master Guiyuan said helplessly, "Sect Leader Hu, Zhaozhao has been spoiled by us since she was a child. Don't hold it against her. Why don't you just give in to her this time?"

Several people tried to persuade Hu Guichen. Although Hu Guichen was unwilling, he couldn't explain why he disagreed. Helpless, he had no choice but to agree.

Yun Zhao was overjoyed. After thanking the group, he hurriedly pulled Bai Lingxiao and the others onto the Qingyun Sect's spirit boat.

“This girl,” Lu Mingdao said with a laugh, “is really outrageous. She runs so fast, as if a ghost is chasing her.”

Chen Zongyue laughed heartily, "It's better to be more lively than before..."
