Chapter 774 World 322
How long has it been, and Chen Ling has already sat down to drink tea?
Shen Ruyin looked at Master Qian again.
It's tidied up quite neatly, but isn't there a wet stain on the corner of the table?
Noticing Shen Ruyin's gaze, Sect Leader Qian lowered his hand, and in an instant, even the water stains dried completely.
Oh, Shen Ruyin thought regretfully, she had been completely crushed by Chen Ling.
If I had known it would be this fast, I shouldn't have been a little late.
Sect Leader Qian, you are clearly the leader of a sect, how could you be defeated by Chen Ling in a single move?
"What are you all doing standing outside?" Qian Zongpu frowned. "Fuhe, have you finished your work?"
"Fu Wan, today is your first performance. Are you all ready?"
“Xingluo…”
"Xingluo, come here," Chenling called out as soon as Sect Master Qian called out, and then told Shen Ruyin to come to his side.
“Yes, Master,” Shen Ruyin glanced at Sect Leader Qian and then darted to Chen Ling’s side.
Master Qian's words stuck in his throat; he couldn't say them, but he also felt uncomfortable if he didn't.
"Junior Brother Chenling," Sect Master Qian said with some helplessness, "did you tell Junior Nephew Xingluo everything you needed to tell him?"
“Probably,” Chen Ling said, “if you hadn’t interrupted me with a series of transmission talismans, you would have finished speaking long ago.”
Master Qian was speechless for a moment: "I was just worried that you would forget the time."
“Oh,” Chen Ling calmly glanced at the empty seat, “So you had to call me over when no one else was here?”
Sect Leader Qian coughed lightly, avoiding the topic, pretending not to see Chen Ling's displeased gaze, and began to instruct Shen Ruyin and her sister on what to pay attention to later.
As expected of the sect leader, Master Qian's words flowed like a private meeting, never repeating a single word.
It contains the essential content... I suggest you extract it yourself.
If Shen Ruyin were to summarize it in one sentence, that wouldn't be wrong. The core requirement is simply to be safe and to broaden one's horizons. It's not worth getting hurt for such a small reward.
To be honest, either this person is a leader, or they're still talking about it.
As Shen Ruyin listened, she unconsciously drifted off and looked towards the door, where she unsurprisingly spotted someone else's hem of clothing.
This material looks like it's from Sword Peak, and the pattern on the sleeve seems to be the favorite of the Peak Master of Array Peak.
Could it be that those other people actually came, but heard Sect Leader Qian "speaking freely," and deliberately didn't come in?
"What are you all standing here for? Can't you come in?" This was the voice of the Biyun Palace Master, whom Shen Ruyin had previously received.
“We can go in,” Danfeng Peak Master said cheerfully. “We just thought it was still early, so we were just standing outside for a bit.”
Shen Ruyin was certain that the Palace Master of Biyun Palace must have a line of bold, blood-red characters in her mind right now.
I believe you!
Hearing the commotion outside, Sect Leader Qian finally stopped and looked at the dazed Fuhe: "Go and invite the guests and your fellow disciples in."
Shen Ruwan also wanted to go out for some fresh air, and without being told, she followed her senior brother out.
In the blink of an eye, the main hall was almost full, which showed how many people had been waiting outside.
The Palace Master of Biyun Palace said, "So that's why they didn't come in earlier. It turns out that Sect Master Qian and Venerable Chenling were talking."
Did my words from outside disturb you?
"Of course not," Chen Ling said without speaking, so only Sect Leader Qian spoke back and forth. After a few words, they started chatting amicably.
Seeing that Shen Ruyin was distracted, Chen Ling said, "The Qi Refining stage competition will start later. You should get ready to go. You don't need to stay here."
"Then I'm leaving," Shen Ruyin said, before obediently leaving.
When she arrived at the door, Shen Ruwan, who had been waiting nearby, waved to her: "Why did it take you so long to come out?"
Shen Ruyin replied, "I never expected that my sister would leave and never come back."
Shen Ruwan touched her nose sheepishly: "My bad, I didn't expect Master to be so talkative today."
"He's not usually like this. Perhaps he's just having a rare opportunity to see Venerable Chenling?"
Shen Ruyin thought it was possible, otherwise Chen Ling wouldn't dislike Sect Leader Qian so much, and would get irritated as soon as she saw his communication talisman.
“It’s almost time, let’s go find Senior Brother Jinghong first,” Shen Ruwan said, pulling Shen Ruyin toward the conference preparation office.
They said they were going to find them, but they weren't actually that far from there.
Moreover, Jinghong is easy to find.
He was sure to be in a place where a large crowd had gathered around a square, yet the atmosphere was quiet and orderly.
Upon getting closer, Shen Ruyin discovered that Jinghong, the chief organizer of the conference, hadn't actually done anything else. He simply sat behind the senior brother registering the registration with his sword, and the result was exceptionally good.
Of course, the Jinghong sword is no ordinary weapon either. It's a magical treasure that kills without incurring any karmic consequences, so naturally no one wants to test it on themselves.
Shen Ruyin and her companion lagged behind at the back of the line, quietly went to the front, took their name tags and match schedules, and then waited on the side.
As Qian Sect Master's newly accepted favorite disciple, Shen Ruwan was arranged to be the first, entrusted with the important task of making a good start. Therefore, they did not have to wait long before they called Shen Ruwan's name.
Shen Ruwan used a sword, and her swordplay was agile. She easily knocked her senior brother, whose cultivation level was two levels lower than hers, off the stage.
Shen Ruyin was admiring her sister's demeanor when she suddenly saw Wei Linghua staring intently at her sister near the arena.
Shen Ruyin has personally experienced what it means to be a persistent ghost.
She opened her match schedule, checked it, and confirmed that her first match was against Wei Linghua before putting the schedule away again.
There were many Qi Refining stage disciples participating in the competition, and the Supreme Sect provided quite a few platforms, enough for dozens of groups to compete at the same time.
However, not everyone has to step into the ring.
If someone in the early stage of Qi Refining unfortunately draws a late-stage Qi Refining character, they are allowed to concede defeat immediately.
Of course, the premise is that there is a significant difference in cultivation level, or that the other party has suffered a serious injury. Otherwise, if they simply give up, there is no need for them to participate in the competition.
Fortunately, the gap between the sisters and Wei Linghua was not as large as two minor realms, which was precisely the point where Wei Linghua could not easily give up.
The first batch of disciples successively determined their victories, and Shen Ruyin also stood opposite Wei Linghua.
Having the match schedule in hand beforehand, Wei Linghua wasn't surprised at all that Shen Ruyin was coming up, but when she made her threats, there was a hint of malice in her words.
“I’ve always been quite rough in my fights. I’ve heard that Fellow Daoist Xingluo has only been a disciple for less than a year. If you want to admit defeat, you might as well say so now.”
"Otherwise, if I shout in the middle of the fight, it won't be easy for me to stop holding the sword."
"It wouldn't be good if I hurt you."
Shen Ruyin glanced at her lightly: "That's exactly what I wanted to say. If Fellow Daoist Wei wants to admit defeat, please don't drag it out. Otherwise, swords have no eyes, and Fellow Daoist Wei, please don't try to twist the truth like before and say that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you."
As their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly, and a crowd of onlookers gathered around.
Shen Ruyin's eye twitched involuntarily when she saw Fu He's actions.
Brother Fuhe, shouldn't you have told me beforehand if you're betting on me?
Wait a minute, once I'm off the stage, I'll go and fight you all!
