Mu Yunjian was not surprised by Rong Xuan's reaction; in fact, he had deliberately come over to provoke Rong Xuan.

Even before Ning Tinglan and Yun Yici entered the sect, he was already keenly aware that Wen Fuyue treated him and Rong Xuan differently.

After Ning Tinglan entered the sect, that strange feeling became even stronger.

Well, if Wen Fuyue was a strict teacher in front of him and Ning Tinglan, she was a kind father in front of Rong Xuan, and a kind father who was very careful in his attitude.

Whenever Rong Xuan needed to repair the artifact, Wen Fuyue would always give her all to support him.

For example, the defensive magical artifact they are currently riding on is definitely the work of Wen Fuyue.

Mu Yunjian put in a little effort and found some very interesting things.

His grandmaster, who was also Wen Fuyue's master, also had the surname Rong.

Moreover, he sneaked into the Hall of Fate, where disciples' life tablets were stored, and found that the previous peak master's life tablet was intact, while the life tablet next to Wen Fuyue's, which had no name, was broken.

The previous peak master was still alive, yet he let Wen Fuyue succeed him, and then disappeared without a trace.

The broken life tablet next to Wen Fuyue's indicates that the deceased was of the same generation as Wen Fuyue, most likely the disciple of the previous peak master, who was also his senior uncle.

However, having been a disciple of Mu Yunjian for a long time, he had never heard of Wen Fuyue having any senior or junior brothers.

Just before he fell asleep during this period of slumber, he happened to witness Wen Fuyue's friend bringing a little girl to visit him, hoping that the girl could become Wen Fuyue's disciple.

Wen Fuyue refused.

Later, Wen Fuyue realized she couldn't hide it from him any longer, so she admitted that the Red Dust lineage's cultivation method was special.

Those who cultivate this technique must not be moved by emotions in this life; those who break through the Dao will find it difficult to make any further progress in their cultivation.

Therefore, the previous peak master established a rule that the mortal lineage is not allowed to accept disciples of the opposite sex.

That's why Mu Yunjian was so surprised to find that he had a junior sister when he opened his eyes.

Wen Fuyue actually violated the ancestral rules by taking in a female disciple.

As for Rong Xuan, Mu Yunjian originally guessed that he was the son of the grandmaster, so he had a high status and Wen Fuyue would inevitably take extra care of him.

He never connected his master who had broken through to the Dao with his deceased uncle.

Until he discovered that his deceased martial aunt was actually a woman.

By this point, Mu Yunjian had roughly guessed the truth of what happened back then.

Wen Fuyue's master fell in love with his female disciple, and the two left the Nanhua Sect together. What happened to them over the years is unknown, but in the end, one died and the other survived.

Rong Xuan is most likely the product of a tragic master-disciple relationship.

Wen Fuyue remained tight-lipped about Rong Xuan's background. Mu Yunjian, who was usually unruly, knew that this matter touched on Wen Fuyue's bottom line, so he could only pretend not to know and never intentionally revealed it.

However, his kindness towards Rong Xuan ended there.

Mu Yunjian still couldn't stand Rong Xuan.

The E's Beast Clan has many offspring per birth, and blood-related brothers and sisters are natural competitors, let alone unrelated fellow disciples.

Ning Tinglan was Wen Fuyue's chosen successor, while Rong Xuan received Wen Fuyue's boundless doting affection.

Just like in a family, the head of the household values ​​the eldest son the most and dotes on the youngest son the most.

He was caught in the middle, feeling out of place and stuck in the middle, yet he still had to pretend to be a close brother to Wen Fuyue.

When Mu Yunjian thought of this, even the pleasure that had overshadowed Rong Xuan vanished.

He didn't retort, but instead, with a cold face, he found a quiet spot where he wasn't near anyone, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

His actions and words were under the watchful eyes of the entire clan, so he must not act rashly and expose his true identity.

Mu Yunjian wisely turned off the fire, which Rong Xuan found somewhat unusual.

He looked at Yun Yici warily, worried that this new junior sister had been sown apart by Mu Yunjian, just like Ning Tinglan.

Yun Yici was startled by his gaze and asked, "Senior Brother Rong, what's wrong?"

Rong Xuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

When Ning Tinglan first joined the sect, the two of them, fellow disciples, maintained a relationship of keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.

Little did anyone know that Mu Yunjian would sow discord between them, luring Ning Tinglan into his residence by mistake. Ning Tinglan mistook his unfinished experiment for a woman from the red-light district and from then on regarded him as a pervert.

Xie Qianjue, who was standing to the side, did not dare to interrupt when he saw that the two brothers were somewhat at odds. But now that the atmosphere had calmed down, he spoke up and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Rong."

Rong Xuan glanced at him and recognized Xie Qianjue. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xie."

He rarely went to the academy, preferring to study at his residence or refine weapons at the Weapon Peak, so he wasn't particularly familiar with Xie Qianjue.

Yun Yici also expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Rong."

She was too complacent. If Rong Xuan hadn't happened to appear, they, who were still on the verge of collapsing third floor, would have been in a terrible state.

However, she was truly envious of Rong Xuan's defensive magic weapon. It could allow people to enter and exit and move freely within the Buddha-Demon Tower, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.

Yun Yici secretly made a note of it, and after leaving, she would go to the Spirit Weapon Shop to find a reliable defensive magic weapon.

This could be a lifesaver in a critical moment.

The system seemed to sense her thoughts and seized the opportunity to promote its services: "Host, would you like to participate in the lottery? You have one more chance to draw a prize. If you're lucky, you might even win a celestial artifact!"

Yun Yici had originally planned to save up for a ten-pull, hoping to change her fate by relying on the guaranteed ten-pull, but now she couldn't help but be tempted by the system's enticement.

Moreover, Mu Yunjian's favorability rating fluctuates and is not stable; it can be reset to zero in a bad way. Right now, 30 points of favorability is considered high.

She negotiated with the system, saying, "If I save up for a ten-pull, can I be guaranteed to get a defensive immortal artifact?"

System: "You're dreaming. Take it or leave it."

Yun Yici: "Then where did you get your immortal artifact? You didn't steal it from a big shot like you kidnapped Shen Huaichuan, did you?"

She craves magical artifacts, but doesn't want to risk her life.

System: "Pah! Those are called unclaimed items scattered across the continent. Those who are destined to find them can take them!"

Alright, alright, so Shen Huaichuan is also unclaimed, right?

Don't throw away those sword immortals who didn't succeed in ascending to immortality. Coat them with breadcrumbs and fry them until golden brown on both sides. Even the sword cultivators next door will be drooling with envy.

Yun Yici exchanged a few words with the system, but ultimately failed to uncover the origin of the system's reward.

She calculated that the five lucky winners had already used up the two lottery chances given to her by Xie Shiqing.

The remaining four lucky ones, unless someone reaches 100% favorability, she only has 8 chances to raise everyone's favorability to 80. Who knows how long it would take to save up for a 4-pull.

Moreover, it's very difficult for her to raise the favorability between Rong Xuan and Mu Yun without specifically trying to win them over.

So even if she doesn't save up for a ten-pull, Yun Yici still wants to keep it just to be on the safe side.

Once you've saved up two chances to win, save one and try your luck once.

At present, the most important thing is not to increase favorability, but to enter the top three in the disciple selection so that she can touch Shen Huaichuan's sword.

Yun Yici looked out of the sphere and was shocked to find that they were in a void, with countless overlapping scenes creating chaos in front of them.

But in the instant they passed by, the scenery was fragmented and separated, turning into a series of images in which Yun Yici saw many familiar figures from her fellow disciples.

They were inside the sphere, which seemed lost, wandering at the intersection of countless faces within the tower.
