Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Zhong Lingxin and the other ten followed behind Yu Letian, all with their heads slightly lowered and eyes fixed straight ahead as they entered the main hall.

At the head of the main hall, a voice said, "Gentlemen, all ten children have arrived. Each of you may choose the disciple you are destined to be."

A voice from the upper left said, "Your Excellency should choose first."

A chorus of approval rose from the surrounding crowd.

The voice at the head of the table said, "In that case, I'll choose the first one to come out."

A woman's voice suddenly rang out: "No!"

The voice from the head of the table rang out again: "Does the Sect Master's wife have any objections to my choosing disciples?"

Zhong Lingxin kept her head slightly lowered, maintaining respect for the leaders of the Qingyun Sect. She only looked up at the cultivator at the head of the table when the voice at the head of the table announced that the first disciple to come out should be accepted as a disciple.

Before she could even get a good look at the face of the cultivator at the head of the table, a sudden voice voiced its objection.

Zhong Lingxin then looked at the female cultivator who was called the sect leader's wife.

At first glance, Zhong Lingxin was stunned by the sect leader's wife's beauty: her skin was crystal clear and rosy, a complexion that even the best powder on Earth couldn't achieve. Her large, bright eyes, like those of a pure fawn, shone with innocence and purity. She had a pointed oval face, a delicate nose, pink lips, and a head of jet-black hair.

Unfortunately, what she said was anything but innocent and naive; at least, that's what Zhong Lingxin thought.

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on her, Linglongyue raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled, "What I mean is, among the disciples recruited this time, there are both single and dual spiritual roots. Grandmaster can choose a better one, right? It's for the good of our Qingyun Sect, isn't it!"

Zhong Lingxin looked up at the cultivator who was called her grandmaster again, and felt a surge of admiration in her heart.

Those who cultivate immortality are never ugly.

Look at this grandmaster, he looks to be only about twenty years old. He has an androgynous face, narrow eyes that, despite being double eyelids, give the impression of single eyelids, a high, straight nose, and tightly pursed thin lips. Coupled with his tall and slender figure dressed in a long black robe.

The only word to describe me is: cold!

At this moment, he sat high above, coldly looking at the people below.

No one dared to utter a sound.

Even Linglong Yue awkwardly shut her mouth.

At this moment, Linglongyue was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

She persuaded her useless husband to ask Qingyang, that old codger, to take her as a disciple, which was originally intended for her own nephew.

Her nephew, a rare genius with dual spiritual roots in her Chen family.

If she could become a disciple of that old immortal Qingyang, with his cultivation level of being able to guard an entire sect by himself, and the resources he had accumulated over two thousand years, he could definitely push her nephew to the Mahayana stage or even the Tribulation Transcending stage.

That damned Qingyang agreed to take her as a disciple, but first gave her a huge blow by promoting her useless husband to the back mountain.

Now, Qingyang has not taken her nephew as her disciple as she had planned, and her useless husband is still advancing in the Tribulation Arena.

Linglongyue looked around, and once again felt her blood rush to her head in anger.

Those damned elders and peak masters used to fawn over her, wagging their tails like lapdogs.

In the past two days, none of those damned elders and peak masters have paid any attention to her since her useless husband entered the Tribulation Arena. They even discussed the next sect leader in front of her.

Linglongyue couldn't understand why everything, which was originally under her control, had suddenly turned upside down.

She couldn't worry about that right now; her priority was to persuade Venerable Qingyang to accept her nephew as his disciple.

She thought that Venerable Qingyang should at least give her useless husband some face, and he should listen to her advice.

The sage Qingyang's calm voice echoed in the hall: "According to you, who should I take as my disciple?"

Linglongyue felt a surge of joy.

As expected, Venerable Qingyang still had to give face to her useless husband. With a happy expression, she picked up the teacup on the small table next to her, took a sip, and said elegantly, "I've seen the information. There's a person with a mutated spiritual root this time, but she specifically asked to learn the Soft Cloud Sword Technique."

There are also three people with dual spiritual roots. The second-ranked Guan Jiheng is a member of the Guan family. It is said that he has been learning array making since childhood, with his goal being the Thousand Array Peak of the sect.

There's also Jiang Peng, who ranked tenth. He has both fire and wood spiritual roots. Lingdan Peak had already decided on him a long time ago. Even Venerable Saint wouldn't want to compete with Lingdan Peak for him, since alchemists are extremely important talents in our sect.

There is another one named Chen Yanqiu, who possesses both metal and earth spiritual roots. His metal spiritual root value is extremely high, at eighty-five. In Yue'er's opinion, he would be a good disciple of the Venerable Saint.

Zhong Lingxin really wanted to roll her eyes.

How did Linglong Yue become the sect leader's wife? Didn't she communicate with Qingyang Venerable Saint beforehand? Is it appropriate to force Qingyang Venerable Saint like this in public?

It's really not Linglongyue's fault for not communicating well with Qingyang Zunsheng.

She had originally intended to have her useless husband communicate with them, and he had readily agreed.

We'll wait for the disciples who participated in the test to come out of the Heavenly Ladder before we start.

But in the blink of an eye, her useless husband went off to get a promotion, all smiles.

The vast hall suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, the voice of Venerable Qingyang rang out: "Which one is Chen Yanqiu?"

Yu Letian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, replying, "Your Excellency, Chen Yanqiu is ranked 107th. Our sect has always brought the top ten disciples to the various peaks for selection. This disciple is now..."

Qingyang Venerable Saint said calmly, "No need. Our sect's Heavenly Ladder is just a test of willpower and endurance. It's extremely simple. If you can't even get into the top 100, you should train harder."

Linglong Yue was very anxious: "Your Majesty, please reconsider. I have met Chen Yanqiu. He is an excellent child. Something must have happened to cause him to fall behind this time."

Qingyang Zunsheng's voice suddenly turned cold: "Chen Yanqiu, you're a member of the Chen family, aren't you?"

You are at least a Nascent Soul cultivator, and even now, you are still the sect leader's wife.

Be more serious, stop with that "moon-moon" thing!

"Don't try to use your Cold Moon Palace tactics on my Azure Cloud Sect."

Linglongyue opened her mouth and uttered two words: "Yue'er..."

She suddenly couldn't continue speaking; she was so ashamed that her face turned bright red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She has been calling herself Yue'er in the Qingyun Sect for hundreds of years, and she has gotten used to it. No one has ever dared to criticize her!

Qingyang Venerable Saint said, "It's settled then, she will be my disciple."

Linglongyue suddenly spoke again: "Wait!"

Qingyang Venerable Saint turned his head and frowned slightly: "Linglong Yue, is there anything else?"

Linglongyue pointed at Zhong Lingxin: "Your Excellency may not know this, but this Zhong Lingxin beat up other disciples on the Heavenly Ladder, causing six-year-old Qu Xin to have a head injury and bleed."

That wasn't all; after leaving the Heavenly Ladder, she also assaulted Qu Xin.

That's Qu Xin, a member of the Qu family!
