Chapter 205: The Fox Spirit (18)

Then came Yao Ye. Wen Wan stared intently, her eyes wide. She wanted to see how Yao Ye would put on a show. However, to her surprise, Yao Ye was actually using legitimate cultivation techniques and spiritual power, and quite a lot of it. If Wen Wan hadn't known his identity, she would never have guessed that he was a demon.

"No wonder she's the male lead's rival! Her abilities are amazing, and she's so good at pretending too."

In the end, only Lin Qingshui, Shen Qianyuan, Yao Ye, and Si Xun, an outer disciple, remained on the field. There really was a hidden dark horse. Wen Wan was extremely shocked.

"System, is this dark horse contestant also an important supporting character?"

System: [This is very strange.]

"What's so strange?"

I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it.

Wen Yan: "..."

Soon, they started PK-ing in pairs: Shen Qianyuan and Lin Qingshui, and Yao Ye and that outer disciple.

"The female lead has it in the bag, this round is a sure thing." After all, Shen Qianyuan would definitely let the female lead win, and the final result was pretty much what Wen Wan thought. Shen Qianyuan didn't even use his full strength and lost to Lin Qingshui.

Lin Qingshui was a little unhappy. "Senior brother, you're letting me win again."

Shen Qianyuan: "Junior sister misunderstands. Junior sister has received the sect leader's true teachings. Senior brother is really not as good as junior sister."

To Wen Wan's surprise, Yao Ye lost the other group.

Seriously? You, as a character with the least screen time besides Shen Qianyuan, actually lost to a random extra? Don't you have any dignity left?

Yao Ye: "You're amazing, I've lost."

Si Xun: "You flatter me."

As Si Xun fought his way through, the onlookers were all greatly shocked. Si Xun was an outer disciple, yet he was able to defeat so many inner disciples and finally stand on the final stage.

Several elders even started to consider taking on disciples and began arguing on the field. Gu Xuefeng didn't care. Soon it was time for the final, with Lin Qingshui facing off against Si Xun. Wen Wan was really nervous.

"Will the female lead win?"

System: [It definitely will; this is a crucial plot point between the male and female leads.]

Wen Wan: Why do I have some bad premonitions?

The two quickly began to fight. Lin Qingshui held a spirit sword and used the sword techniques given to him by Gu Xuefeng, while Si Xun held an ordinary disciple's sword and used some common Xuezong techniques. However, he was very powerful. They fought several rounds without a clear winner.

"Who do you think will win?" Gu Xuefeng asked Wen Wan. Wen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Lin Qingshui, it's definitely your future wife who will win."

Gu Xuefeng: "..."

"Si Xun has already won."

Wen Wan: "..." Impossible, aren't we still competing?

Gu Xuefeng continued, "Given such a large difference in weapons and techniques, the fact that they were able to hold their own for so long already demonstrates the gap between them. Lin Qingshui is not as good as Si Xun."

Wen Wan could also see that this was true, but why did the male lead say it so directly? Didn't the female lead have any pride?

The final result was both unexpected and expected: Si Xun won, by a margin.

The outer disciples below went crazy, screaming and shouting Si Xun's name.

After all, those who can become inner disciples are the best among the disciples. They have the best cultivation resources and the best treatment. No matter where you are, fairness is relative. Now that the outer disciples have defeated the inner disciples, it is an inspiring thing for the outer disciples.

If Wen Wan weren't on the female lead's side, she would also think this was an amazing underdog story, incredibly exciting! If this were in a cultivation novel, wouldn't she be the male lead of a popular online novel? Is she really not an important character?

However, now that she's on the female lead's side, her feelings are... very complicated.

"System, the female lead has lost."

System: [I saw it. How is this possible? This wasn't even caused by your actions; it just happened.]

Wen Yan: "..."

The winner of the freshman competition was Si Xun, an outer disciple. Almost all the elders on the stage wanted to recruit this disciple and started making empty promises, such as, "Come to my sect, and I will give you the best cultivation resources, the best techniques, and the best teachings."

Lin Qingshui was a little sad, and Shen Qianyuan was comforting her, "It's okay, you're already very good."

"If my senior brother doesn't let me win, he might be able to win."

Shen Qianyuan: "I can't even beat you, how can I beat him? Junior sister, don't joke around."

At this moment, Si Xun stood in front, looked at Gu Xuefeng and said, "This disciple wishes to become the sect leader's disciple."

All elders: "!!!"

Si Xun indeed had his own plans, but that makes sense, since they were far inferior to the sect leader.

Wen Wan slapped Gu Xuefeng hard, "No, you can't take him as your disciple, you know?"

"I do not accept disciples."

"This disciple is willing to give up everything, hoping only to become a disciple of the sect master."

Wen Wan: "I won't allow it. You can only have one disciple, Lin Qingshui. Don't agree to let him come from an unknown background."

Gu Xuefeng: "I don't accept disciples, but I agree to let you enter Qianxue Palace. Since you got first place, it should be yours, and you should get it."

Si Xun was very happy, but only the muscles on his face twitched. "Thank you, Sect Master."

Wen Wan suddenly slapped Gu Xuefeng's hand, "What are you doing?"

She opened her mouth and bit Gu Xuefeng's finger, but didn't dare to actually bite. Gu Xuefeng only felt the gentle licking of her teeth. Gu Xuefeng reached out and pinched Wen Wan's baby teeth. "If you dare to do that again, you'll lose your spirit stones."

Wen Yan: "..."

The other elders saw that the matter was already settled. Although they were somewhat regretful, they dared not compete with the sect leader for the person!

Thus, Si Xun became the second disciple to enter the Thousand Snow Hall after Lin Qingshui. Moreover, he was an inner disciple before that, which could easily be predicted to be the topic of discussion among the disciples for the next month.

Lin Qingshui lost, and Wen Wan was not in a good mood. Seeing Si Xun made her even worse. So she glared at Si Xun subjectively and then ran over and kicked him.

Si Xun: "???"

"Are you Xiaobai? The sect leader's beloved pet?" Wen Wan was lifted up by Si Xun. "You're so cute." Then he took a spirit stone and handed it to Wen Wan. Wen Wan originally wanted to give Si Xun a hard time, but since he gave her a spirit stone, she couldn't do anything to him anymore. She took the spirit stone and left.

Lin Qingshui said with a smile, "Congratulations. If you have any questions in Qianxue Palace in the future, you can come to me."

Si Xun: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Lin Qingshui: "We entered the sect together, so you don't need to call me senior sister."

Si Xun shook her head. "You entered Qianxue Palace before me, so you are my senior sister."

Lin Qingshui: "..."
