The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

After explaining the whole story, Yun Yici lowered her head, looking as if she knew she had done something wrong.

Wen Fuyue couldn't help but chuckle as she imagined the scene, but she held back her laughter because of Mu Yunjian's increasingly unpleasant expression.

Wen Fuyue lied through her teeth: "If that's the case, I'll come looking for him later. I think he's probably hiding somewhere out of fear."

"The disciple selection will be held tomorrow and the day after. Focus on your preparations and don't overthink it. This is not your fault."

"It's just that the little beast has a quirky personality and might not want to see you for a while."

Yun Yici immediately realized that Wen Fuyue was trying to give her and Mu Yun a way out.

She readily replied, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your understanding, Master. I will take my leave now."

"Goodbye, Second Senior Brother!"

Yun Yici turned around and tried to slip away.

At this moment, Mu Yunjian, who had been silent behind her, said, "I am also very interested in the disciple selection that Junior Sister mentioned."

Yun Yici's foot, which she had just stepped out of, suddenly felt as if her heart was suspended in mid-air.

She stammered, "But, senior brother, the registration period has already passed."

Mu Yunjian chuckled softly, and Yun Yici almost thought she had misheard.

She could detect a hint of pleasure in his voice.

Mu Yunjian turned to Wen Fuyue and said, "Each peak has ten spots. Wangchen Peak still has eight spots left, right? Registration is to make it easier for the peak master to select disciples to participate in the selection."

"In other words, there are not enough people from our Red Dust lineage to participate in the selection. As long as I arrive on time the day after tomorrow, I will be automatically counted in the Red Dust team."

Yun Yici's expression instantly cracked; she had already sensed that with Mu Yunjian's involvement, this selection trial was bound to be a bloodbath.

Mu Yunjian already disliked Ning Tinglan, and since she had just offended him, it would be strange if he behaved himself and didn't cause them trouble.

Wen Fuyue frowned slightly and said, "This matter wasn't decided in a short time, and I haven't heard you mention participating in the trial before."

Mu Yunjian had just taken human form and needed to recuperate for some time. Moreover, due to his identity, he always kept a low profile in the Nanhua Sect.

Wen Fuyue was somewhat worried that Mu Yunjian was just being stubborn and that's why he insisted on participating in the trial.

Mu Yunjian said, "During this period of recuperation, I deeply feel that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a senior brother. Even my junior brothers and sisters who are younger than me know to step forward to bring glory to the mortal world, and I can no longer sit idly by."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici with no suitable reason to stop him.

Yun Yici was anxious, hoping that Wen Fuyue could persuade Mu Yunjian to come down.

She hesitated to speak, fearing it might backfire and reveal to Mu Yun that she already knew his identity.

Wen Fuyue pondered for a moment, and seeing that he still insisted, she said, "If that's the case, then go."

"By the way, since all three of you are going, let's ask Xuan'er if she wants to come along."

There are only four apprentices in total, so it's not good to favor one over the other. I have to ask them a question.

Yun Yici gasped. She had thought Wen Fuyue could stop Mu Yunjian, but unexpectedly, she had added another difficulty for her.

Mu Yun smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Sister, to make a trip to Senior Brother's residence. I'm still recovering from an old injury, and I'll need to go to the Medical Peak later."

Yun Yici cursed inwardly, "You're a damn rabbit! You're putting on quite a show. Don't think I won't recognize you just because you've transformed into a human."

Yun Yici originally intended to just go through the motions of coming to Wen Fuyue about Mu Yunjian's transformation, but unexpectedly, she ended up with a useless teammate.

With a bitter face, she headed towards Rong Xuan's residence, thinking that Rong Xuan probably wouldn't agree.

After all, if he were to agree, he should have signed up with Ning Tinglan before she even entered the sect.

Yun Yici breathed a slight sigh of relief, but as she looked at the emerald green mountain peak hidden in the misty clouds yet so close at hand, her eyelids suddenly twitched.

Has she forgotten something important?

For example, Ning Tinglan's advice: Don't go to Rong Xuan's residence.

But since she was already here, she wanted to see what Rong Xuan was hiding in his residence.

Yun Yici's curiosity was piqued.

The story describes Rong Xuan not only for his stunningly beautiful appearance and the countless beautiful women around him, but also for his past.

Of course, Rong Xuan never mentioned that he studied under Wen Fuyue and that he and Ning Tinglan were fellow disciples.

His character is clearly a scumbag, but after meeting the female lead, he turns over a new leaf, abandons all other women, and pursues her relentlessly.

Yun Yici landed on her sword not far from Rong Xuan's residence, then climbed the steps. The green spring scenery reflected on the blue stone bricks and the two sides of the path was so beautiful that it was hard to leave.

Further up, Rong Xuan's courtyard was elegant and fragrant. Just by standing outside, she could hear the melodious laughter of women.

Yun Yici listened carefully and found that the voices were high and low, sometimes gentle and sometimes charming, and there were more than ten different kinds.

She couldn't help but rub her forehead. Could it be that she came at the wrong time?

Yun Yici stood outside Rongxuan's courtyard, hesitating whether to reach out and knock on the door.

Just then, the tightly closed door in front of her quietly opened, and Rong Xuan, with her beautiful features, stood in the doorway, blocking her view as she peered inside.

Rong Xuan couldn't hide his surprise when he saw her. He asked, "Junior Sister, what brings you here today?"

Since that trip to the market, his relationship with her has not been harmonious, and the two have had no other interactions on ordinary days.

Moreover, Ning Tinglan had given him special instructions that day, so Rong Xuan never expected that Yun Yici would come looking for him.

Yun Yici said, "My master sent me to ask you if you want to participate in the disciple selection the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Rong Xuan secretly thought that Wen Fuyue might have had another deeper meaning in deliberately having Yun Yici ask him.

He said, "Disciple selection? I remember Junior Brother Mu didn't participate, only Junior Brother Ning did. What about you?"

Although Yun Yici had a headache, she had no choice but to tell him frankly, "Senior Brother Mu changed his mind just now, so all three of us will be going to the disciple selection trial this time."

Rong Xuan asked again and again, "Junior Brother Mu, are you and Junior Brother Ning both going?"

Mu Yunjian and Ning Tinglan were at each other's throats when Wen Fuyue couldn't see them. Hoping that the two of them would ever unite and cooperate was like hoping for a red rain to fall from the sky.

Wait a minute, does this mean that this selection trial might offer a rare opportunity or some rare treasure, which is why Mu Yunjian would rather put aside his prejudice against Ning Tinglan to participate?

Rong Xuan thought of the spirit sword that was said to belong to the sword immortal Shen Huaichuan, and his mind raced. He said to Yun Yici, "If that's the case, I'll go and join in the fun the day after tomorrow."

Yun Yici didn't expect Rong Xuan to misunderstand, but seeing that he had agreed, she couldn't say anything more. She could only give a wry reply and then return to the main peak of Wangchen to report to Wen Fuyue.

Not only are people's joys and sorrows not shared, but even the joys and sorrows of the same person on the same day are not shared.

For example, she was worried before that only two people from Wangchen Peak would participate in the selection, but now that everyone from Wangchen Peak is participating, she's even more worried about what to do!

The male lead, the villain, the second male lead, and her as a background character—the ship of friendship is doomed before it even sets sail!

I'm so sorry, I was supposed to post two updates today.

However, because my city experienced severe rain and thunderstorms today, my home lost power and all the lights blew out.

I nervously turned on my computer and wrote 2 words when the thunder subsided a bit at night, all the while fearing that the computer would explode.

Waaah, I promise I won't do it starting tomorrow.
