Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Sect Leader Fang said—

"Among those whose hearts are free from impurities and who are close to being perfect, there is only Gu Yiguan."

-

Shen Anzhi appears to be on the right path, but in reality, he cannot distinguish right from wrong.

They only looked at the matter of "the art of cooking immortals".

If those divine eyes hadn't refused to vanish from the world, they probably would have cut off their own flesh to feed the tiger and risked their lives to save others, ultimately resulting in none of them surviving. It wasn't their fault, but they trapped themselves in their own hearts.

His good deeds will only encourage evil thoughts, and will always backfire and contradict his original intentions.

He is a useless person, of no benefit to the world.

-

Song Kezi's treacherous methods were nothing more than those of a cowardly rat in the shadows.

Lacking confidence and ambition, and short-sighted, he is essentially nothing more than a village child scheming and plotting, destined to become a despicable villain, unfit to be a hero in troubled times.

It is easy to control and use.

-

Because of the evil energy of war entering his body, Zhang Zhihan can only cultivate the way of war, but in reality, he is not suitable for it.

This is a chaotic person, whose mind is clouded and ignorant, like a fierce beast with only courage. They are innocent and pure, with a clear and untainted mind, and act mostly on intuition, but they cannot control their own abilities.

The jade is naturally formed, yet it cannot be polished.

If one does not cultivate the art of war, one might attain "unity of knowledge and action" and a pure and untainted mind.

-

Ye Xiaozhou practiced his own way, acting recklessly and without restraint.

Although her heart is pure and she cannot be considered a "perfect person," she would likely disdain being judged by worldly notions of good and evil.

She has distanced herself from ethical norms and rules, so why should we judge her?

One can bear the consequences of one's own actions.

-

I wish you well without being invited.

Not a person from the cultivation world.

He has a bit of swagger, a bit of boldness, and a bit of courage, but it's all just "a bit." Perhaps he lacks a bit of banditry and a bit of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit.

If she were placed in her original world, she might have achieved something. However, considering her personal morality and her clash with chaos, it's not quite enough.

However, like a clump of transplanted weeds, whether barren or lush, swaying in the wind or climbing upwards, it can always stagger forward.

Such a person, if they succeed, becomes an outstanding individual; if they fail, they become ordinary. Just look forward.

-

Master Fang is watering flowers and discussing heroes.

In her opinion, there were only a few that were pleasing to the eye; each had its merits, but also its flaws.

After listening to her explanations for each of these people, Elder Xiaobai asked:

"Almost a perfect person, yet not?"

"This is just one person's opinion. Naturally, whatever I agree with is the best. But if others see it, they might distort the truth."

"Senior Sister Fang, then which type of person are you?"

"Haha, of course I'm that old man who talks nonsense!"

Sect Leader Fang put down the kettle and continued:

"Gu's actions are so irritating that you can neither hate him nor be grateful to him."

Elder Xiaobai calmly asked, "Then, in your opinion, what constitutes a perfect person?"

Sect Leader Fang walked to the window, seemingly seeing the procession entering the mountain gate.

This trip was fruitful.

With the northern thorn removed, the Star-Picking Tower's prestige soared, and anyone willing to participate would reap the rewards.

"Throughout the ages, no perfect person has ever been seen in this world. No amount of writing can describe a flawless saint."

"Everyone should follow their own path, and everyone should be like a dragon."

-

After venting his frustrations, Zhang Zhihan stopped dwelling on the matter.

It doesn't matter to him who becomes the leader of the Star-Picking Tower.

Although the array of cones had disrupted his mind, causing him to slaughter innocent members of the Xiaotian Sect, since he had been tricked, he was not the one who killed those people.

As one of the victims of the scheme, after one battle, the matter was considered closed.

Even if Gu Yiguan didn't actively challenge him, he would still make a move.

Zhang Zhihan also wants to raise geese.

He won't dwell on this matter too much.

The same applies to Zhu Wuyao.

The so-called "seeking answers in this battle" is half genuine and half pretense.

I hope Wuyao can understand Gu Yiguan's actions.

The Star-Picking Tower suffered very few casualties, achieving the greatest benefit with the least cost; this is all thanks to Senior Sister Gu.

If the team leader were changed, the cost would likely be ten or a hundred times greater.

Before this, although she also approved of Senior Sister Gu taking over as sect leader, she had never been so certain as she was now.

Let alone saying that the others are unworthy of their positions.

Even if Sect Leader Fang were to take on ten or eight more personal disciples, Gu Yiguan would still be worthy of the title.

But since Senior Sister Gu took the initiative to challenge me, there was no reason not to give it a try.

Most importantly, it also provides an opportunity to strike Song Kezi with a sword.

Zhu Wuyao also wanted to know if she could actually calculate everything.

After listening to Gu Yiguan's words, she came to only one conclusion—Song Kezi seemed to be unimportant to her.

The reason why it was "half genuine" was mostly due to dissatisfaction with his domineering style.

If Ji Yuezhang's news were told directly, she would be willing to do something against her conscience as a way of repaying him; but if Ji Yuezhang were used as bait to lure her into a trap, even a clay figure would have some spirit.

The one who truly got angry on this trip was Shen Anzhi.

Especially after hearing what Gu Yiguan said—

"Now that the matter of the personal disciple has been settled, we can just go through the motions after returning to the sect."

Shen Anzhi asked:

"What's the point of going through the motions?"

"Since others have never had the chance to compete, why give them hope? It's better to just give up the idea altogether."

At the time, Gu Yiguan did not say much to him.

Whether it's the will of the people or the tide of public opinion, these are things that need to be considered. She understands this, and so does Shen Anzhi.

Asking such a question is pointless; it's just venting useless emotions.

There's no need to waste any more words.

On the way back to Zhaixing Tower, Shen Anzhi remained silent.

The quarrel between the group was resolved by Gu Yiguan, who then pushed the others aside. The other disciples assumed that Shen Xun, Song Kezi, and the others had been injured by disciples of the Xiaotian Sect.

After this battle, Yi Tian, ​​who had long served Song Kezi, gained even more influence.

She chatted with those around her, listening to her fellow disciples ask:

"Senior Sister Yi Tian, ​​after this trip, there will be a competition for direct disciples. I heard that this time, it seems that there will be no need to test cultivation levels?"

Yi Tian had already learned about the diversity of assessment methods from Senior Brother Song.

She had made a remarkable achievement during her trip to the Xiaotian Sect. Upon hearing this question, she looked up at the group of people walking ahead and said:

"Although there's no need to test cultivation levels, I'm just an ordinary person, so what profound insights could I possibly have?"

"Hahaha, I see that you are all better than me. This time, we both have the strength to compete for the position of personal disciple!"

"When the time comes, whoever comes out on top, don't forget the bond between fellow disciples."

Zhu Wuyao remained silent upon hearing the discussions behind him.

My heart was filled with anxiety and trepidation.

After the formalities are completed, you can get news about Ji Yuezhang from Senior Sister Gu.

What I had searched for in vain is now right before my eyes.

Thinking of this, she remembered something else and took a few steps forward to ask:

"Now that Elder Chi has returned and appeared in the battle of Xiaotian Sect, where has Ye Xiaozhou gone?"

Gu Yiguan said:

"Alive, safe, that's all I know."

As she spoke, she stepped into the gate of Zhaixing Tower, where people were already waiting to celebrate her successful trip.

Shen Anzhi and Zhang Zhihan followed behind, both remaining silent.

Zhu Wuyao lagged a few steps behind, entering the gate with Hua Yingting, Xu San'er, and others.
