Chapter 422

The assessment wasn't over yet, and only three people had managed to break through the barrier.

While everyone was still waiting for the assessment results, their attention was entirely focused on Rong Rong.

Many people wanted to strike up a conversation with Rong Rong, such as the disciples of Taiwei, and the disciples of the Nanjiang Peak Master who was sitting closest to Wu Yan.

But due to the icy aura of the fog and flames, no one dared to take action.

Only Taiwei gently inquired about Rong Rong's information, and thus everyone learned that the girl's name was Rong Rong.

"Rongrong." What a warm and lovely name.

Some people unconsciously kept murmuring this name until, at a certain moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, people felt the air pressure increase and some had difficulty breathing, and only then did they belatedly realize that the Old Ancestor of Mist Flame had become angry again.

People quickly shut their mouths, and Taiwei shook his head with amusement.

Everyone silently complained about the domineering nature of the Mist Flame Ancestor, while only the Peak Master of Nanjiang Peak, despite the Mist Flame Ancestor's murderous aura, casually chatted with Rong Rong from time to time.

Rong Rong saw that this person looked kind and sunny, much more approachable than the icy Wu Yan, so she chatted with him for a bit longer.

He was still wondering to himself why this peak master of Nanjiang Peak wasn't a person with great fortune.

Wu Yan's face grew increasingly cold, but he did nothing but release cold air and low air pressure.

Everyone admired the Peak Master of Nanjiang Peak.

The crowd, preoccupied with Rong Rong, failed to notice that Jin Ling, who always had a rich inner world and a constant flow of thoughts, had been quiet for a long time.

Since her true feelings were revealed after she transmigrated here, Jin Ling has been the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone loves to hear her innermost thoughts.

No matter what people are doing or saying, they are always watching her. Whenever she stops watching the drama unfold, people become very anxious and will deliberately say things to get her attention.

But now, everyone's focus has shifted to the female lead, and Jin Ling suddenly feels a great sense of loss.

She finally understood how the female supporting character in the original book felt.

In the original book, after the Fog Flame Ancestor took the female lead as his disciple, the junior sister of Xuanxiao Peak became the female lead.

The female supporting character felt resentful as she watched her master and senior brothers revolve around the female lead all day long, while treating her coldly. Gradually, she began to target and frame the female lead.

Jin Ling talked about the future of many people, but she didn't mention her future, or rather, the future of the female supporting character in the original book.

Because the female supporting character repeatedly plotted against the female lead, she was eventually discovered by Wu Yan and expelled from the sect.

The female supporting character was not skilled enough and was eaten by a spirit beast not long after leaving the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, leaving no trace of her body.

At this moment, Jin Ling miraculously empathized with the female supporting character.

In a daze, she felt that she was the original female supporting character in the book, and the original female supporting character was her.

It's hard to say whether the female supporting character in the original book was her past life.

Therefore, Jin Ling must change her fate; she absolutely cannot end up like that. She needs to think of a way to deal with the situation ahead.

Xiao Gua told her that if she wanted to steal the luck of those with great fortune, she had to gain their 100% favor.

Now that the female lead Rong Rong is around, she feels it might be a bit difficult for her to win over those with great fortune.

What should she do?

Jin Ling was so frustrated that she was trying to think of a solution that she lost all interest in anything else.

Xuanxiao Peak.

Qinglin and Shenhe were sitting at a stone table outside the courtyard, drinking.

They deliberately avoided participating in the new disciple entrance examination in order to avoid that incomprehensible female lead; they had already learned everything from Jin Ling.

Besides feeling absurd, I also felt very ashamed. How could they do so many irrational things for a woman?

Leaving aside their tragic end, just the fact that they fell in love with the same person as their fellow disciples and master, and even fought over them, doing all sorts of undignified things, was unacceptable and unbelievable to them.

"Heh." Shen He shook his head and took another sip of wine.

Shen He is a prodigy, whether in the mortal realm or the cultivation world.

He was born a prince, and the current emperor was his elder brother. Because of his outstanding talent, he was brought to the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect and was directly taken as a disciple by the Fog Flame Ancestor.

He had a smooth and successful journey, with no shortage of money or treasures.

People have always treated him with utmost care. As proud as he is, he would never believe that he would be subservient to a woman.

Qinglin's astonishment and disbelief were no less than Shenhe's.

Although Qinglin did not have such a powerful background, his status as the senior disciple of Xuanxiao Peak had made him accustomed to being high and mighty.

He couldn't accept that he had become so humble in order to please others, and he couldn't accept that his golden core had shattered and his cultivation had regressed. What he cared about most in this life was cultivation, his path to enlightenment!

Qinglin was aloof and indifferent to everything. He couldn't even imagine why he would become like that because of someone.

Could the other party possess some kind of evil magic?

After all, they had signed a contract with the demon god.

Thinking of this, Qinglin unconsciously frowned. Compared to Shen He, he was not so optimistic.

My heart suddenly skipped a few beats, and a bad feeling crept over me.

A cultivator's premonition is not a vague feeling that appears out of thin air, but is very likely related to the future; in layman's terms, it is a glimpse into the secrets of heaven.

Cultivators absorb spiritual energy, which influences the heavens and earth, giving them the ability to foresee certain events.

Qinglin was restless, and soon he felt his communication talisman getting slightly warm.

He took out the communication talisman, and after reading the message from his friend, his expression changed completely.

"Oh no! Master has taken that female lead as his disciple and is about to take her back to Xuanxiao Peak!"

"What?" Chen He slammed the wine glass down on the table, not even caring that the wine had spilled on his hands.

"Why?" Shen He couldn't believe it. "Master knew that the other party was a jinx who would cause us to suffer such a fate, so why did he still bring the person back?"

"Could it be..." Shen He's expression suddenly turned serious, "...that Master has really fallen in love with her? Has he become love-struck?"

Shen He first heard the term "love-obsessed" from Jin Ling's inner thoughts.

He felt that this word was very apt in describing Wu Yan, Qing Lin, and Shen He in the book.

Yes! It's Wu Yan, Qing Lin, and Shen He from the book. He absolutely refuses to acknowledge that he and Shen He from the book are the same person, nor does he acknowledge that his master and senior brother are the same person as Wu Yan and Qing Lin from the book.

But now, it feels like Master has changed a bit, become love-obsessed?

"Shut up!" Qinglin snapped.

He choked back a sob, but stubbornly kept his mouth shut.

In this world, apart from his elder brother, his master, and his eldest brother, no one else could be so fierce to him.

Shen He turned his head away, his eyes filled with malice; he didn't want to look at Qing Lin anymore.

Qinglin sighed helplessly; he had always treated Shenhe as his own younger brother.

Looking at the other person's expression, he spoke earnestly.

"No matter what, you must not disrespect your master. We can discuss anything after your master returns."

I believe there must be some hidden story behind this!

Despite Qinglin's analysis, he still felt uneasy. "We'll know what's going on when Junior Sister arrives."

They can understand everything by listening to Jinling's inner voice.

At this moment, Qinglin seemed to have forgotten that his junior sister was about to be replaced!
