After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Zhao Qing then looked at the other two stone tablets again.

Except for the Qi Refining stage, which forcibly prohibits cultivators above this level from registering, and which does not include Luo Huanzhen's name, the other three stone tablets all bear Luo Huanzhen's name.

Su Mingyue turned her head and said softly, "Third Senior Brother, did Junior Aunt register the wrong thing? Even though she broke through at the Cliff of Repentance not long ago, she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. She should have gone to the Foundation Establishment stage examination hall."

Su Mingyue never thought that Luo really had any real talent or learning.

The reason she repeatedly humiliated him in the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm was simply because she was lucky. She had the help of a Golden Core stage peak demon python and the protection of nearly a thousand disciples from the sect. Later, she was seriously injured and had no chance to clash with her again.

She always had someone behind her, and when she returned to the sect, she was protected by Yun Yao.

If she were to actually enter the Golden Core stage training grounds, especially the combat and demon-slaying challenges, which are both solo battles, she would be doomed to lose against herself.

When the time comes, she'll step on Luo Zhenhuan to get ahead!

Su Mingyue was secretly delighted that she could finally vent her anger, but on the surface she put on a concerned expression.

She gently advised, "Third Senior Brother, although Junior Aunt doesn't like me, now that we've found out, shouldn't we remind her?"

After watching for a while, Zhao Qing turned to Su Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, don't worry about her. She's never cared about you or me, so why make trouble for yourself?"

Su Mingyue was secretly pleased that Zhao Qing disliked Luo Huanzhen, but on the surface she feigned a soft-hearted and hesitant demeanor: "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Zhao Qing snorted: "What's wrong with that? I think she might not have registered the wrong name, but did it on purpose. After all, she was able to beat up several senior brothers, so she thinks she can also participate in the Nascent Soul stage competition."

Su Mingyue asked curiously, "What do you mean, 'beat up several senior brothers'?"

Zhao Qing coughed and said, "It's nothing. What Third Senior Brother meant was that she's been wanting to beat up the other senior brothers for a long time. Maybe she participated in the Nascent Soul stage competition just to beat us up, because we like you more. Let's go, let's register first."

Su Mingyue gave a gentle smile and softly said, "Mm."

Having successfully changed the subject, Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the fact that Luo Zhenhuan had beaten up his three fellow disciples in his dream, they decided to remain silent and keep it to themselves.

So embarrassing.

Even though she beat them up back then, Zhao Qing didn't think Luo really had the ability of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Zhao Qing is a Nascent Soul stage medical cultivator. Apart from his skills in using poison and refining pills, his physical strength is very poor. He's the type who would probably get beaten up if thrown into a group of Golden Core stage cultivators.

In addition, he hadn't intended to lay a hand on Luo Huanzhen in the first place, which is why he got a severe beating.

As for the eldest and third junior brothers, they probably didn't fight seriously and were letting Zhenzhen win, which is why they were beaten up like him.

But the sect competition is different.

Everyone will show their true skills to compete for rankings, which represent the disciples' status and rewards within the sect.

Moreover, every time the sect holds a grand competition, the inner and outer sects undergo a major reshuffle. Dark horses are recruited into the inner sect, and some even become personal disciples, while those disciples who lack strength and make no progress are given a reduction in spirit stones and moved to cave dwellings with scarce spiritual energy.

In short, no one will give Luo Huanzhen any leeway in the sect competition.

Since Luo really wants to cause trouble.

Let her see for herself what kind of blow she will suffer when everyone stops tolerating and indulging her, and when Grandmaster Yun Yao is no longer protecting her.

Only in this way can she give up her illusions and face reality. Only then can she realize that they have always spoiled her, and that she is the one who is being unreasonable, jealous, and whose inner demons are corrupting her mind.

When she realized that she should no longer compete with Mingyue for favor, but instead work with everyone to take good care of Mingyue, her junior sister who had a pitiful background and was frail and sickly.

He was willing to forgive her and continue to be her third senior brother.

He would treat her with the same dedication he had shown to Mingyue, helping her cure her stubborn illness and dispel her inner demons.

With different thoughts in mind, Su Mingyue and Zhao Qing stepped into the disciple hall to register.

The protagonist in their minds, at this moment, is unaware that someone wants to teach her a lesson and embarrass her.

Zhiyun Peak.

Luo was truly engrossed in a huge pile of materials, sifting through them to find the treasures.

"Master Duan, this is for you, this is for you, and this is for you too! This is a gift from Zhenzhen to apologize to Master."

Duan Qianchui's smile has never stopped since he arrived at Zhiyun Peak.

He had lived most of his life as a child, and had always been the one giving gifts to others. This was the first time he had ever received a gift from someone else.

Duan Qianchui's heart melted when he saw the little dumpling in front of him, its short arms holding a pile of refining materials and its big, bright eyes looking at him expectantly.

No wonder Yun Yao likes this little apprentice so much, and says he likes him very much too.

Who wouldn't love such a well-behaved and adorable little apprentice?

What?

When she first met herself and Su Mingyue, she looked disgusted and repulsed.

Like a mischievous little devil?

Sorry, but that's how you have to be when facing enemies and people you hate. That's called guts, that's called not flattering someone in their tribulation stage.

A cultivator who has no temper is a coward, and Duan Qianchui looks down on him.

"Alright, alright, Master, I accept it. Master, please give Zhenzhen some more treasures..."

Duan Qianchui seemed to have a treasure chest, taking out one magical weapon after another as if they were free.

"This is a Silver Peach Blossom Space Bracelet. It has a large capacity, about the size of three rooms."

"A flowing, butterfly-patterned fairy dress with wide sleeves, a defensive magical artifact. It's made of the same material as the one Master is wearing—white!"

"Lotus-patterned Spirit-Enriched Safety Buckle, a top-grade spiritual treasure. It can increase a cultivator's absorption of spiritual energy by one-thousandth. Don't underestimate this one-thousandth; it adds up to something quite formidable over time. Come, truly try wearing it and absorbing some spiritual energy."

"Okay~"

Yun Yao, who was drinking tea with her eyes down, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing these words.

"Don't!"

It was too late; the violent spiritual energy swept in like a raging flood—
