Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Gu Lingxi was completely taken aback by Ye Qinghe and Qin Wanrou's difficult behavior and their willingness to stand up for Bai Xiaobai.

She originally wanted Bai Xiaobai to become the target of everyone's anger, but she didn't expect things to develop like this. Although she was furious, she had no choice but to quickly put an end to this extremely unfavorable situation for herself.

She looked up and glanced at Elder Mu of Li Huo Peak, who was in charge of opening the Thousand Treasure Cave.

She spent a full 100,000 spirit stones to bribe the elder in charge of opening the Thousand Treasure Cave.

These spirit stones were given by her family to help her establish herself in the Qingxiao Sect as quickly as possible, and to help her cultivate relationships.

Now, however, everything has been given to Elder Mu, who is making exorbitant demands, and her heart is bleeding.

However, Bai Xiaobai has become a thorn in her heart, and if she doesn't remove it, it will eventually become her inner demon.

Elder Mu, having received her signal through his eyes, cleared his throat and spoke.

"Alright, what kind of nonsense is this? Except for the newly initiated disciples, all other irrelevant people, please step aside."

Yuanbao and Lingtian exchanged a glance, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.

"The rules have changed this year. Except for newly admitted disciples, no one else is allowed to accompany them. New disciples must obtain the magic tools and spiritual treasures that suit them on their own."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanbao immediately asked a question in return.

"Elder Mu, who set this rule? In the past, new disciples were always accompanied by their fellow disciples to prevent them from being harmed by magical artifacts and spiritual treasures that had developed sentience. Why is this not allowed this year?"

"And how could my junior sister find suitable magical artifacts and spiritual treasures on her own? You are clearly making things difficult for her."

Upon hearing this, Elder Mu's face instantly darkened.

"Who set the rules? Do they need to inform you? Elder Chen was right after all; the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak are indeed arrogant. As an inner elder of the Hall of Affairs, Elder Ling, could you please suggest how to punish these disrespectful disciples?"

"New disciples entering the Thousand Treasure Cave are treated equally; no one is allowed to accompany them. Bai Xiaobai is also a new disciple, and she even ranked first in this new disciple assessment. If she can't even withstand this little danger, what kind of immortality is she cultivating?"

Seeing this, Chen Qing finally got a chance to fight back.

"Elder Mu is right, Elder Ling. Your junior brother and sister don't know the rules, they've disrespected their elders, and they've insulted the sect elders. You, as an inner hall elder of the Deacon, have turned a blind eye, and we can assume you're protecting them. But now that they've entered the Thousand Treasure Cave to find suitable magic weapons and spiritual artifacts, are you going to interfere as well? With such injustice, how can my Qingxiao Sect stand among cultivation sects?"

Such a huge burden was placed on Ling Tian's head.

Bai Xiaobai hissed, trying to smear the poison directly onto the faces of the two incompetent elders.

This is truly a series of interconnected events, so those two old bastards are waiting for her here.

Given Gu Lingxi's abilities, it's unlikely she would simply incite a verbal battle among the disciples of Li Huo Peak.

But the worst part is yet to come.

You said that even if she, a little snake with no cultivation, were allowed into the Thousand Treasure Cave, Gu Lingxi wouldn't need to do anything malicious.

If you accidentally touch a magical artifact or treasure that has developed sentience, and you get injured or even die, who can you blame?

Although Yuanbao was indignant, he was afraid that his impulsive actions would cause trouble for his senior brother, so he could only stare coldly at the two of them.

As for Ling Tian, ​​after listening to the two of them speaking in unison, he naturally understood what they were up to.

Although the danger of the Thousand Treasure Cave is not fatal, if someone interferes, the danger is unknown.

Besides, my junior sister is just a defenseless little snake; how could she possibly deal with the dangers inside?

Are these people truly despicable?

However, if I were to intervene, they would seize upon it and refuse to let it go, and if the matter were to reach the sect leader, I would be in the wrong.

Just as Ling Tian was caught in a dilemma, Bai Xiaobai's soft and innocent voice reached everyone's ears.

"Senior brothers, don't worry, you have to trust Xiaobai. It's just finding a suitable magical artifact or spiritual treasure, Xiaobai can do it."

Hearing this, Ling Tian felt even more distressed.

The junior sister probably comforted me like that because she didn't want to put me in a difficult position.

As for Gu Lingxi, she sneered inwardly after hearing Bai Xiaobai's words.

He really doesn't know his own limitations. A piece of trash with no cultivation dares to think he can escape unscathed from the Thousand Treasure Cave?

Elder Mu was afraid that Ling Tian and the others would interfere, so he hurriedly urged them on.

"Since everyone agrees, let's hurry up, we've already wasted a lot of time. The total time for finding suitable magical artifacts and spiritual treasures is one day. Once the time is up, regardless of whether you have found a suitable magical artifact or spiritual treasure, you must leave on time. Also, I must remind you that there are thousand-year-old spiritual artifacts and magical treasures in this Thousand Treasure Cave. Just find the ones that suit you, and don't overestimate your abilities. If you get hurt or lose your life as a result, the sect will not be responsible."

Bai Xiaobai scoffed inwardly upon hearing this.

There was definitely a conspiracy.

However, Gu Lingxi's skills are not enough to outmaneuver her.

She needs to add an insurance policy that will make them wary of her.

Thinking of this, she deliberately raised her voice.

"Senior brother, I'm going in first. Tell him to wait for me at the Thousand Treasures Cave."

Ling Tian and Yuan Bao quickly understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister, Master will definitely come. Focus on finding the right magic weapon or spiritual treasure for yourself; we'll all be waiting for you outside."

"Um."

Soon, apart from Bai Xiaobai and Gu Lingxi, who were the eleven newly initiated disciples, everyone else at the entrance of the Thousand Treasures Cave retreated to the location designated by Elder Mu and waited.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Bai Xiaobai was still a little uneasy.

But now, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

She dared not be the first to go in, and only after Gu Lingxi and the others had gone in did she cautiously move her body.

As Bai Xiaobai's figure gradually disappeared into the dark cave entrance, the worry in Yuanbao and Lingtian's eyes was obvious.

They were careless; those bastards actually changed the rules. Junior Sister has no cultivation; no one can guarantee what might happen to her inside.

Ling Tian stared at Elder Mu with a hostile expression. If anything happened to his junior sister, he would definitely not let that bastard off.

As soon as Bai Xiaobai entered the cave, he heard Qin Wanrou and Ye Qinghe's voices coming from ahead.

"Bai Xiaobai, when are you going to finish climbing at this leisurely pace? Want the three of us to team up?"

She looked up in surprise and saw Ye Qinghe and Qin Wanrou smiling at her from the front.

Although I was a little surprised, it is indeed safer to travel with them than to go alone.

Especially with that scheming Gu Lingxi, I'm defenseless. If she really has some bad intentions, I might fall into her trap.

Furthermore, Ye Qinghe and Qin Wanrou were already dissatisfied with Gu Lingxi, so traveling with them should improve their safety.
