Yan Xuehen thought to herself that she had protected everyone and was still innocent.

Anger from Yan Xuehen: +66 +66 +66...

Zuan was taken aback, wondering why she was suddenly angry.

However, given what happened, it's understandable that she's angry: "I was careless that night and didn't think of that."

Yan Xuehen suddenly said, "Why do I feel like this is something one of your confidantes did out of jealousy?"

Zu An's face flushed. Actually, he had the same feeling at first, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely. His confidantes weren't here, so it couldn't be Xie Daoyun, could it?

Yan Xuehen opened her mouth, wanting to say that this behavior was somewhat similar to Yun Jianyue's, but Yun Jianyue, as an elder and not his confidante, shouldn't be so bored.

"Achoo~" At this moment, in the courtyard where Kongming Island is located, Yun Jianyue sneezed and said with a smile, "The Ice Stone Woman must be furious now. Although I can't see it with my own eyes, just thinking about it is interesting enough."

In the room, Qiu Honglei said with some worry, "Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's really too despicable."

"Young Miss, are you kidding me? We're demonic witches from the Demonic Sect, isn't it our duty to be despicable?" Yun Jianyue rolled her eyes at her.

Qiu Honglei was somewhat embarrassed: "But I've really offended Chu Chuyan. How will we get along in the future? Besides, if Azu finds out, he'll definitely blame me too."

Yun Jianyue snorted: "You still think you can get along with her? You two are destined to be either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind. Do you really want to put on a show of sisterly affection?"

"There can only be one winner among you, and the other can only bow down and be subservient. I don't want you to be the subservient one." Yun Jianyue looked at her disciple with a serious expression. If she becomes the subservient one, then what am I? However, this thought was quickly dispelled. Humph, I'm only thinking of this silly disciple.

Qiu Honglei couldn't help but mutter, "Why does it feel like Master cares more about the competition for favor in the harem than I do?"

"What did you say?" Yun Jianyue raised an eyebrow.

"It's nothing." Qiu Honglei hurriedly grabbed her arm. "But Master, isn't the highest level of seduction the ability to capture a man's heart? I fought with Chu Chuyan, and in the end, my ruthless methods incurred Azu's displeasure. What's the point of winning?"

"Don't worry, I'll handle that kid. Anyway, I did all of this, so if he wants to blame someone, he can blame me." Yun Jianyue said domineeringly, but she was a little uneasy. This time it was indeed a bit risky.

...

In the Biluo Palace, Pei Mianman finished her half-day of cultivation. Looking at the chattering disciples outside the window, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what are they talking about outside? It seems unusually lively today."

In order to fulfill her master's wish, she has been staying at home and focusing on her cultivation, completely unaware of what is happening outside.

Master Huoling waved her hand casually, and a burst of energy directly blocked out everything outside the room. She said coldly, "It's just some trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Compared to the other chief disciples, you are at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation time. You should make the most of these days to hone your skills. You are close to breaking through, so don't slack off."

"Mmm." Pei Mianman nodded, wiping the fine sweat from her chest, thinking to herself that she absolutely couldn't lose to Chu Yan...

As the turmoil intensified, the Nine Sects of Taoism held their grand assembly as scheduled.
