Chapter 107 A Resounding Slogan

Lingzhu Zhenren looked at Lou Yuqing and Ling Yunxiao with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She had designed the Snow Lotus Small World herself, and the two of them had completed it much better than she had imagined.

"According to the competition rules, the top three will receive prizes."

Lingzhu Zhenren waved her hand, and three pure white petals flew to her. The petals glowed with spiritual light and were exactly the same as the snow lotus petals that Lou Yuqing had seen during the trial.

The next moment, she heard Master Lingzhu say, "These are snow lotus petals, a top-quality spiritual medicine. Even if you are seriously injured, as long as you have a breath left, you will not die after taking it."

really.

Lou Yuqing understood immediately.

This reward is undeniably generous; the fact that it can cause such bloodshed in the small world indirectly proves its value.

The petals vary in size.

Lou Yuqing stared directly at the largest petal, making no attempt to hide it. At the same time, Ling Yunxiao's gaze lingered on the petals, revealing a hint of anticipation.

Qi Qingxiong's gaze at the petals burned even more intensely, his previous dejection completely gone. He thought with great ambition, "So what if I'm third place? I've already secured my spot in the arena."

Seeing their excitement, Master Lingzhu smiled slightly. The seven sects had gone to great lengths for this competition, and the rewards from the other small worlds were treasures no less valuable than snow lotus petals.

Just as Lingzhu Zhenren was about to distribute the rewards, she noticed a strange look on Lou Yuqing's face. Out of her fondness for the girl, she took the initiative to ask, "Is there a problem?"

Lou Yuqing stopped worrying about it and asked, "Senior Lingzhu, may I ask if there is any connection between the snow lotus petals you gave us and the snow lotus spirits in the small world?"

Ling Yunxiao's eyes flashed; he was also thinking about this matter.

Lingzhu Zhenren was slightly taken aback, and said with a half-smile, "Do you think it's easy for spirits to take human form? Trials are trials, and reality is reality. I can tell you clearly that there is no connection between them."

"Thank you for your explanation, senior."

Lou Yuqing smiled obediently, feeling a great sense of relief. The idea that the snow lotus spirits had real human forms and that they should consume their petals was somewhat terrifying to her. Fortunately, this idea did not exist.

Ling Yunxiao glanced at the girl without leaving a trace, instantly understanding her thoughts, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.

Qi Qingxiong was a rough and unrefined man, unlike Lou Yuqing who was more thoughtful. Now, however, he realized it was a good thing.

Master Lingzhu glanced at their varied expressions, gave a soft hum, and handed the petals to them. The largest petal belonged to Lou Yuqing, the medium-sized one to Ling Yunxiao, and the smallest one to Qi Qingxiong.

The importance of rankings is fully demonstrated; the higher the ranking, the better the reward. Everyone knew this result, so there were few surprises.

Lou Yuqing reached out and caught the pale white petal. The cool touch made her realize that the petal was covered with a layer of water. She looked at Lingzhu Zhenren in surprise and asked, "Senior, what is this?"

Ling Yunxiao and Qi Qingxiong were also somewhat puzzled.

Master Lingzhu smiled and explained, "Snow lotus petals are not easy to preserve. This water film can slow down the loss of its medicinal effects. Wait, what are you all looking at? Put your faces away. At least for the next five hundred years, we will be safe."

She glared at them, annoyed.

Lou Yuqing smiled awkwardly: "Senior, please don't be angry. I thought it was about to wither, so I was a little surprised. Since you said it has five hundred years, then I have no objection."

Ling Yunxiao kept in sync with her, clasped his hands in apology, and said, "This junior has misunderstood you, senior. I hope you will forgive me."

Master Lingzhu looked at the two and sensed something unusual about them. He slightly curled his lips and said in an ambiguous tone, "Young people are full of vigor, and I have high hopes for you."

She ignored Qi Qingxiong, who wanted to apologize, and before they could react, she waved her wide sleeves and said, "Alright, someone is waiting for you. If I keep you here any longer, those old guys will probably get anxious."

The old guy Qingxuzi: "..."

The old fellow, Sword Master Chengfeng: "..."

Lou Yuqing's vision blurred, and she found herself in the void. There, she saw many senior experts from various sects. She cleverly bowed to Sect Leader Qingxuzi and said, "Disciple greets Sect Leader. Yuqing has lived up to your expectations and won first place!"

Sect Leader Qingxu stroked his white beard, his face full of undisguised smiles, and gently lifted her body with his spiritual energy: "Yuqing, there's no need for such formalities. I've seen your performance, and the sect will reward you handsomely."

Lou Yuqing hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise, and said crisply, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Sect Leader Qingxuzi looked at another disciple: "Who are you?"

Ling Yunxiao bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Ling Yunxiao greets Sect Leader."

"Haha, you're both excellent. Let me introduce you. This is Master Minghan from the Hundred Spirits Sect, this is Master Fengyun from the Star Pavilion... and this last one is Sword Venerable Chengfeng from the Cloud Soaring Sect." Sect Leader Qingxuzi had Lou Yuqing and the other person greet him one by one, his face beaming with a smile, as if he were plotting something.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects responded to their greetings, feeling a mixture of love and resentment towards these two promising talents—love for their excellence, but resentment that they weren't from their own sect.

Only Master Minghan vaguely sensed the old Daoist Qingxuzi's intention, and his lips twitched involuntarily. Sure enough, the next moment, the sect leader Qingxuzi casually said, "Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, your Yunxiao Sect won third place. I haven't congratulated you yet."

The Yunxiao Sect cultivators hardened their fists.

Two disciples from the Wendao Sect achieved rankings, and even ranked first and second. Either of them would easily defeat the Yunxiao Sect. Is this congratulations just a way to show off?

Sect Leader Qingxuzi proudly raised his head. Yes, it's exactly what you all thought. His disciple has lived up to expectations. As the sect leader, when else should he not show off?

Elder Kui Tu and Madam Hong Yan, along with other high-ranking members of the sect, looked on with pride at their peers.

Just then, Sword Master Chengfeng said calmly, "You're welcome."

Sect Leader Qingxuzi was taken aback. He looked at his expression and found that there was no sign of reluctance. It seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, and he was speechless.

He forgot that this guy doesn't play by the rules and might even be a little incapable of understanding human language.

The Yunxiao Sect cultivator loosened his fist, feeling a great sense of relief. As expected of Chengfeng Sword Master, he had used minimal effort to deflect Qingxuzi Sect Leader's boast.

When Master Minghan saw that Daoist Qingxu had been humiliated, he laughed unkindly. No matter how much you show off openly or secretly, you'll have to give up when you encounter Chengfeng Sword Master, your natural enemy.

Sect Leader Qingxu coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. Just as he was about to say something, Sword Master Chengfeng said, "I find you agreeable. If you don't mind, you can take this spirit sword. It contains my sword energy, which can be activated if you encounter danger."

Lou Yuqing blinked and pointed at herself: "Are you talking to me?"

Sword Master Chengfeng held his spirit sword in his hand, his face showing an expression that said, "Who else but you?" He was completely unrecognizable from the usually taciturn man who had just spoken such a long passage.

The cultivators of the Cloud Soaring Sect were dumbfounded. It was unbelievable! The Sword Master was actually showing goodwill to a junior, and it wasn't just ordinary favor. The fact that the sword cultivator was giving away his sword energy for self-defense showed, to some extent, how much he valued this person.

Qi Qingxiong had finally managed to adjust his depressed mood of being subordinate to others and was preparing to make a name for himself in the arena competition to win back honor for his sect. However, upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, his mentality shattered once again.

He was standing there alone, one of his own, while Senior Chengfeng bypassed him and presented gifts to disciples from other sects. Did Senior Chengfeng really not think highly of him...?

Ling Yunxiao noticed Qi Qingxiong's unusual behavior and immediately realized that he was getting stuck on a rut. He shook his head and said that Chengfeng Sword Master only treated Junior Sister Yuqing differently, and it had nothing to do with any other reason. It was simply because of the chemistry that the other party mentioned.

"Yuqing, why don't you thank Fellow Daoist Chengfeng?" Sect Leader Qingxuzi smiled again.

Lou Yuqing, feeling dizzy, accepted the spirit sword: "Thank you, Senior Chengfeng."

Sword Master Chengfeng nodded and withdrew his gaze, completely unaware that his casual action had sparked all sorts of speculation.

Of all those present, perhaps only Shi Hua could understand Cheng Feng Sword Master's actions. When she first met Lou Yuqing while castrating pigs in the Spirit Beast Garden, she also felt that this girl was to her liking.

And her natal spirit beast, the Nine Heavens Azure Phoenix, was not as resistant to this girl as it was to others. On their first meeting, it was willing to condescend to carry her in flight.

"Our sect now has two disciples who have qualified. Fellow Daoists, please don't think about us. Let your disciples show their true strength..." Sect Leader Qingxuzi got more and more excited as he spoke, and the smug look on his face was particularly irritating.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Qingxuzi."

Finally, someone couldn't stand his behavior any longer and interrupted, saying, "The disciples from the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core divisions are still undergoing trials. I need to focus my attention and observe their performance. If you like to talk, then take these two juniors to another place, and you can say whatever you want there."

Sect Leader Qingxuzi paused, looked at everyone, and sensed that they had all reached their limit. He swallowed his prepared remarks and said in a seemingly indifferent tone, "Fellow Daoist Fengyun, what makes you say such a thing? I certainly did not want to disturb you. Very well, I will send them away."

Upon hearing this, Master Fengyun said no more.

Lou Yuqing and Ling Yunxiao exchanged a glance, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes towards the sect leader. Then, in a flash, the surrounding scenery changed, and they found themselves in the square.

As soon as it appeared, it was surrounded by disciples of the Wendao Sect.

Si Nidie hopped to the front and gave Lou Yuqing a bear hug: "Junior Sister, you're amazing!"

Shen Lijun and Chu Qingyang hugged Ling Yunxiao from both sides, their strength almost strangling him to death. Ling Yunxiao disdainfully broke free, saying, "What's so great about hugging a grown man?"

If anyone needs a hug, it should be Junior Sister Yuqing.

The thought above subconsciously surfaced in Ling Yunxiao's mind, and his earlobes turned slightly red. He felt that he was being too unreserved; how could he have such thoughts?

However, the next moment, his gaze fell on the girl, and he couldn't help but think about how soft her embrace was.

While he was thinking, Lou Yuqing looked up and gently pushed her senior sister away. She walked towards him step by step, and as his heart raced, she reached out her hand.

Then, nothing happened.

Ling Yunxiao was disappointed. Wasn't it supposed to be a hug?

Despite thinking this, he quickly returned the girl's hand.

Lou Yuqing raised her clasped hands and shouted, "Wen Dao Sect, number one!"

Her voice was so loud that every disciple of the Wendao Sect heard it and excitedly responded, "Wendao Sect, number one!"

Looking at the girl who seemed to be glowing, Ling Yunxiao couldn't help but shout, "Wen Dao Sect, number one!"

The crowd's excitement grew even higher: "Wen Dao Sect, number one!"

The female and male cultivators, who looked like a perfect couple, led the crowd in shouting a loud slogan, and for a moment, the square echoed with this exciting phrase.
