Sunday afternoons are always the time when disciples compete for the chance to help in the kitchen.

All the disciples were eager to try, and they kept glancing in the same direction.

Nana said that she was already used to that kind of look.

Ever since this qualifying match began, I've always enjoyed those gazes and the privilege of being surrounded by a bunch of people.

Ningyue and Jueming aren't here today, so I guess I'll just die even faster.

However, after the fight started, Shichiya found that things were very unusual today.

I, who was originally as dazzling as the sun, seemed to have gone out in an instant?

Not only were they no longer besieged like before, but they didn't even get attacked by a single person!

What? I accidentally ate Bi You Chicken?

Qiye found this phenomenon very strange, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was attacking him and quickly hid, intending to see what caused it.

Following the route of the main force, he discovered that their concentrated fire target was none other than that kid, Liu Yun.

Liu Yun is a bright and intelligent boy, but his personality is just as unconventional as mine.

The only thing he's better at is that he can rein in his impulsive personality when he's doing things.

This is also why he beat me in the horse stance.

But what did this kid do to incur such public outrage?

As Liu Yun ran at top speed, he secretly groaned inwardly.

Judging from the situation, he could guess with his toes that the truth had come out.

As for what it is, what else could it be besides Junior Uncle's mysterious treasure?

The reason I dared to say that was mainly because Senior Sister Ningyue and Senior Brother Jueming took the blame. Who would have thought that both of them would be sent out on missions by Junior Uncle?

Although Senior Brother Qiye is still alive, he hasn't received any reward from Junior Uncle for practicing horse stance recently, which has instead aroused some sympathy from his fellow disciples.

As one side gains and the other loses, you become the one who sticks out and becomes the target of others' attacks.

Even Senior Brother Qiye and the others couldn't withstand such a situation, so how long could I, with my weak arms and legs, hold out?

...

Qi Ye squatted to the side and watched the excitement.

As he looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This... seems like a great opportunity?

Although I don't know exactly why Liu Yun was attacked, I'm hiding in the shadows now. If I secretly help him out of his troubles, wouldn't the last chance be more likely to fall into my lap?

The more Qiye thought about it, the more reliable it seemed, so he started to take action.

At this moment, Jing Lei took the lead and chased after Liu Yunfei, shouting as he flew: "Senior Brother Liu Yun, give up the fight, straighten your clothes, and leave with dignity."

Liu Yun felt annoyed when she heard this.

Jing Lei had clearly benefited from this beforehand, and later it was often said how effective this thing was.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly honest and simple-minded fellow actually betrayed the enemy and infiltrated their ranks.

Liu Yun wanted to expose him, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.

If he had been even a fraction slower, countless flying swords would have pierced his buttocks.

Jing Lei wore a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, but inside he was overjoyed.

Because many fellow practitioners of Tai Chi swordplay unleashed their moves simultaneously, Liu Yun's speed gradually decreased.

The distance between the thunder and the drifting clouds grew ever closer.

Seeing Liu Yun's nice backside appear in front of him, Jing Lei silently apologized and thrust his longsword out with the force of thunder.

Liu Yun was now stuck in the mud, and even though he felt a chill coming from behind him, he had no way to deal with it.

"My life is over!"

With a helpless sigh, Liu Yun prepared to accept her fate.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

Thunder's seemingly sure-fire strike missed!

Not only that, but in the short time he was stunned, a thin red line appeared on his neck.

That was the red paint that Junior Uncle had prepared. If someone slashed someone's neck, it meant that the person was already dead.

Everyone was thrown off balance by the sudden attack. Liu Yun instantly felt the pressure on his body ease, and without thinking, he quickly distanced himself.

"Damn it! Senior Brother Liuyun has accomplices. Brothers, look carefully. After we send Senior Brother Liuyun off peacefully, we'll find out who that person is."

"Alright, fellow disciples on both flanks, please also be on guard around the surroundings. If there is any problem, be sure to raise the alarm immediately."

"This Senior Brother Liuyun is full of nonsense, which caused us to misjudge and suffer such great damage. Today we must cut him down."

"Brothers, charge!"

In just a moment, the pursuing disciples had already adjusted their formation and even made some minor adjustments to their tactics.

Qi Ye, who was already hiding not far away, couldn't help but grin when he heard their words.

These experiences were all accumulated through training against him and Ningyue!

Qi Ye's cultivation level was higher than theirs, and he was indeed very good at hiding himself since others were not observing him closely.

Fortunately, he had now joined the tail of the main force chasing Liu Yun.

Having adjusted their tactics, Liu Yun quickly found himself mired in trouble again.

While the disciples in front were attacking, the disciples on both flanks were also paying close attention to their surroundings.

Liu Yun felt that familiar quagmire again and realized that he probably couldn't escape this time.

However, another unexpected event occurred.

A beam of sword light suddenly erupted from the very front of the group, cutting down several disciples who had just drawn their swords!

The disciple who was maintaining the Tai Chi sword technique withdrew his sword intent to protect himself.

Liu Yun was overjoyed and once again widened the distance between them.

"Damn it! I suspect that Senior Brother Liuyun has more than one accomplice. Brothers in the back, be careful and never let your guard down."

Liu Yun chuckled and couldn't help but give his junior uncle a thumbs up in his heart.

This technique of hitting a cow from across a mountain is really effective.

Liu Yun now felt somewhat more confident.

Unexpectedly, a senior brother was secretly helping him.

With that in mind, what is there left for me to fear?

I'm not afraid at all!

With that kind of strength, even a fool would know it must be Senior Brother Qiye.

With a renewed sense of confidence and hope, Liu Yun's speed actually increased again.

And so, whenever Liu Yun was caught up and controlled, Qi Ye would secretly use the "hitting a cow across the mountain" technique to take care of the disciples in front of him.

No matter how much the disciples searched around them, no matter how frantic they became, they still couldn't find out who had drawn the sword.

After several rounds, two or three out of ten of the pursuing disciples had already been eliminated.

Qi Ye was secretly overjoyed, but his disguised face showed a look of shared hatred as he looked around, pretending to be searching for the murderer with the other disciples.
