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

Seeing that Qingxiao Sect not only did not expel Bai Xiaobai from the mountain, but also let a good-for-nothing go to Xiaoyao Peak, which everyone wanted to go to, in front of everyone.

Those who were eliminated were furious.

A beautiful woman in white, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, stepped out from the crowd. She stood gracefully like a lotus emerging from the water.

Her eyes were fixed on the direction where Bai Xiaobai was, her pretty face contorted with anger.

"I possess a rare spiritual root, one in a hundred years. If it weren't for Bai Xiaobai, I would be tenth in this year's entrance disciple assessment."

"Do you want a useless person who can't take human form, or a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

Courage!

That's incredibly brave!

This world needs warriors like these who dare to say no to injustice.

Bai Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he looked at the woman below as if he had met her savior.

Very good, then fight like that, fight bravely.

Then, due to the pressure of public opinion, the Qingxiao Sect had no choice but to eliminate this inhuman little snake.

As the woman in white finished speaking, the crowd became lively again.

"Gu Lingxi is right, we failed because we weren't strong enough. But she should have passed the test without a doubt. Why did Bai Xiaobai interfere and ruin Gu Lingxi's path to immortality?"

"How many decades does one have in a lifetime to wait? If we wait another decade, who knows if your Qingxiao Sect will produce another Bai Xiaobai?"

"Yes, it's unfair. She has a rare spiritual root, while Bai Xiaobai is just a piece of trash whose spiritual root can't even be detected. Your Qingxiao Sect can't bully people like this."

"..."

Bai Xiaobai looked down at Shen Lingxi, whose eyes were red with tears, and felt a little ashamed.

She was indeed in the wrong, but she didn't do it voluntarily.

After exchanging glances with the other peak masters, Li Qingshan gave Bai Xiaobai a disdainful look before finally responding.

"Quiet down. Since you feel this is unfair, then Gu Lingxi will be an exception and become the only outer disciple in the history of this sect."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingxi's face turned pale, and she felt even more humiliated.

She was supposed to be the last of the ten disciples to pass the assessment, but because of Bai Xiaobai, she actually became an outer disciple.

To put it nicely, he was an outer disciple; to put it bluntly, he was just a menial worker.

If it weren't for Bai Xiaobai, she wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.

Everyone knows how rare celestial spiritual roots are.

She should have had a smooth path to immortality and become the most dazzling presence in the crowd, but it's all because of that good-for-nothing Bai Xiaobai.

Gu Lingxi glared resentfully at the little white snake hovering beside Shen Ji, the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak, her hatred almost overwhelming her reason.

Bai Xiaobai: Oh no, I've really stirred up a lot of hatred now. Gu Lingxi is going to hate me to death.

Seeing that Qingxiao Sect broke with tradition and accepted outer disciples for the first time.

Although the others disagreed, they knew that there was no point in continuing to argue.

Soon, only ten disciples remained on the entire trial field, including Gu Lingxi, who had passed the assessment.

Bai Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that even though the Qingxiao Sect made an exception, they wouldn't expel a snake like her that couldn't take human form.

So what kind of benefits did these snake fathers and mothers give to the Qingxiao Sect to make them so blind?

That's a Heavenly Spiritual Root, should we treat it like an outer disciple?

Although she didn't want to cultivate immortality, she still had some basic common sense about the cultivation world.

He knew how rare a celestial spiritual root was.

Shen Ji looked at the small snake in front of him, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Although the little snake could not be detected to have any spiritual roots or to take human form, its aura was somewhat strange.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was so strange about it.

But since we've already accepted her, let her be free and unrestrained on Xiaoyao Peak.

At this point, Li Qingshan and the other peak masters finally had some peace and quiet.

Now it's time to get down to business. Each peak selects disciples according to its own needs.

Everyone wants good talent, especially someone who has stood out from thousands of others.

Therefore, the treatment of the other disciples is completely different from that of Bai Xiaobai, who was unwanted before.

"Zhang Sheng, He Zheng, and Ye Qinghe, would the three of you be willing to come to my Yuling Peak?"

The three disciples who were called upon bowed with delight.

"Qin Wanrou and Yin Qi, would you two be willing to come to my Hundred Herbs Peak?"

"..."

Good, good, very good. What a wonderful mutual commitment, a win-win situation.

Bai Xiaobai was too busy to listen to what was happening behind her, because her young heart had been completely broken.

The treatment of snakes and humans is indeed as different as that between earth and heaven.

All ten disciples who passed the test quickly, except for Gu Lingxi, found suitable places to go.

Three people went to Yuling Peak, Baicao Peak also selected two disciples whose attributes matched the peak, and Qianfu Peak and Lihuo Peak each selected two disciples.

The reason why no one went to Xiaoyao Peak was because Shen Ji had already made it known.

It is said that the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak only care about personal impressions and not strength.

That's why he took a liking to Bai Xiaobai.

The other peak masters sneered inwardly at Shen Ji's choice.

What do you mean by "chemistry"? It's clearly just laziness.

His Xiaoyao Peak only has five disciples in total, a pitifully small number.

The reason why there are so few disciples is that he, the peak master, is too lazy and is afraid that too many disciples will disturb his sleep.

Because he, the master of Xiaoyao Peak, also had a well-known nickname—"Sleeping Beauty".

A quiet day begins and ends with sleeping.

If it weren't for his great strength and outstanding appearance, which garnered him the admiration of many cultivators and indirectly boosted the reputation of the Qingxiao Sect...

Li Qingshan had already been driven away by him.

He was indifferent to teaching his disciples, neglected all sect affairs, and lived as freely as a rogue cultivator.

What kind of leader is he?

All the disciples have found their places now, leaving only Gu Lingxi behind.

Although she was trying to be strong, her tightly bitten lips and reddened eyes still made people feel a little sorry for her.

In fact, apart from Shen Ji, the other peak masters also wanted this disciple with the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, since the sect had never had an outer disciple before, they didn't know how to deal with this outer disciple.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to turn their attention to Sect Leader Li Qingshan.

The meaning is clear: he's the one who made the statement, so naturally he's the one who has to handle the matter.

Li Qingshan also had a headache.

Normally, disciples with such spiritual roots would be highly sought after, but now they've been left out like this.

It's all Bai Xiaobai's fault!

Bai Xiaobai felt very aggrieved after being glared at again.

Old Deng is dishonest.

If you're so capable, go find the snake's father and mother.

Why are you glaring at her?

She really had no desire to cultivate immortality.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Qingshan spoke.

"Gu Lingxi, although you are an outer disciple, as a Heavenly Spiritual Root that appears only once in a hundred years, I, the sect master, will make an exception and accept you."

"From now on, you will follow me to Lingxiao Peak to cultivate. Remember to avoid being impatient or arrogant, and cultivate diligently."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

What outer disciple? That old man clearly has his eye on that person's talent for cultivation with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, due to the precedent that sect leaders cannot accept disciples, this is how this situation came about.

As expected, he's cunning and shrewd!
