After leaving Wenxi Daojun's place, Liu Yunqing headed straight for the Taixuan Sect's mountain gate.

As soon as they stepped out of the mountain gate, they saw Wuchen and Siqing waiting not far away.

The Tai Xuan Sect is not like those outside, especially the peaks of those Supreme Elders.

Although Si Qing's cultivation level was higher than expected, and he could enter the Tai Xuan Sect as if it were empty, it was still somewhat difficult for him to enter a specific peak without alerting the peak master.

Si Qing, on the other hand, has never paid much attention to or cared about people other than those who are curious about him, and naturally he doesn't want to disturb people for no reason.

It was precisely because Liu Yunqing understood this point that she felt confident enough to meet with Daoist Wenxi.

Thinking of what Daoist Wen Xi had said earlier, Liu Yunqing did not immediately go over. Instead, she first raised her hand to send a message talisman before adjusting her expression and smiling as she walked over to greet the two.

Liu Yunqing simply nodded to Wuchen, then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Siqing.

"Thank you for waiting, Senior Si Qing. I've finished my business, let's go now."

Si Qing glanced at Liu Yunqing, wanting to say something, but seeing the other's unusually smiling face, she swallowed her words.

It wasn't that he was being considerate; rather, he intended for Liu Yunqing to ask the question herself.

The other newbies, of course, didn't know what was going on, since the pressure wasn't directed at anyone else, but this little girl must have known it all clearly.

As long as he doesn't say anything, the little girl will definitely be unable to resist asking.

Once Si Qing thought about it, his expression became calm and composed.

As a result, Si Qing waited all the way but did not receive any curiosity from Liu Yunqing. Instead, he became restless because he was waiting for someone to ask him questions.

How dare this little girl treat him like that?

Didn't he realize he was waiting for her to ask him?

When this idea popped into her head, Si Qingjiu was startled.

Who is he, and what is his cultivation level? How could he let a mere Golden Core cultivator disturb his peace of mind like this?

Yes, given the vast difference in their strength, he could easily defeat them with a single word, leaving them no chance to resist. Why make things difficult for themselves here?

Si Qing stopped and turned to look at Liu Yunqing.

"I saved your life again, and you won't even say thank you?"

Liu Yunqing looked surprised, glanced around, and asked in bewilderment:

"Huh? But we haven't encountered any danger along the way! Could it be that the senior resolved the crisis in advance?"

"Stop playing dumb with me! I was talking about back in the Tai Xuan Sect!"

As Si Qing spoke, he observed the changes in Liu Yunqing's expression, noticing her flawless confusion and bewilderment before she suddenly realized something and said:

"So the intimidating atmosphere at that gathering was actually blocked for us by our seniors?"

"But that's the Tai Xuan Sect. Who would dare attack a disciple in the Tai Xuan Sect?"

Liu Yunqing's expression was so sincere that Si Qing stared at her for a long time but couldn't find any flaws in her lie.

Does she really not know what happened that day?

Si Qing had some doubts in her heart, wondering if Liu Yunqing had deliberately set a trap to make her a shield for her.

Seeing her like this now, Si Qing became somewhat uncertain.

Si Qing wanted to ask another question, but given his own cultivation level, he still had to save face in front of Liu Yunqing, so he didn't press further. He could only say with some resentment:

"Hmph, it seems fools are indeed blessed."

"What did you say, senior?"

Seeing Liu Yunqing looking over curiously, Si Qing casually said it was nothing, then glanced at Liu Yunqing and said:

"Do you remember the person who chased you outside Red Moon City?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunqing's curious gaze instantly turned sharp and angry, and she said coldly:

"Of course I remember!"

"If I hadn't been lucky enough to fall into a moving secret realm that time, I'd probably be buried with grass growing three feet high by now!"

Seeing the fire blazing in Liu Yunqing's eyes, Si Qing became even more certain that she truly knew nothing about the Tai Xuan Sect's affairs this time, and couldn't help but smile and say:

"Ha, what grave grass? It's most likely that it's been pulverized and its soul has been scattered. There won't be a grave at all."

"Moreover, that person seems to have his eye on you; he's the one who caused the commotion within the Tai Xuan Sect."

Alright, Liu Yunqing finally had the chance to ask questions.

She looked utterly surprised and turned to ask Si Qing:

"Huh? It's him? Senior really fought him?"

Now it was Si Qing's turn to be dissatisfied.

It turns out that this person didn't believe what she just said at all and thought she was lying to her.

Si Qing snorted angrily, but thinking of the mysteries surrounding Liu Yunqing, she ultimately held back and said:

"We didn't really make any moves, after all, the Sun Realm can't withstand any major actions."

"But that person can't beat me. With me here, he shouldn't bother you for the time being."

This time, without Si Qing saying anything, Liu Yunqing had already bowed respectfully to him.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Si Qing felt relieved.

It's just as the little girl was unaware of the situation beforehand; she had simply misunderstood the person.

Thinking this, Si Qing put his hands behind his back and said in a light tone:

"Alright, I did this to find out the secrets you have. If you really want to thank me, tell me in detail about your secrets and your dream sometime. That would be the best way to express my gratitude."

Without waiting for Liu Yunqing and Wuchen, he vanished from the spot. But Liu Yunqing knew that he had simply concealed himself.

Because they were accompanied by others, Liu Yunqing and Wuchen had even less interaction. Apart from the occasional exchange of glances, their brief conversations consisted mostly of small talk.

Liu Yunqing realized that this stalemate wasn't going to work, so after thinking for a moment, she simply said to Wuchen:

"The past is settled. The most important thing now is the cultivation competition."

"Now that you've advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, why don't you go back and consolidate your cultivation? Then you can come and cheer me on during the Grand Competition. I'll also take advantage of the last bit of time left to go back to Luoxia City and prepare properly?"

When Wuchen heard the words "the past is over," his eyes flickered. Seeing Liu Yunqing nod slightly, Wuchen understood that Liu Yunqing had already taken care of things with the Mother Tree.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too, but it's a pity I can't help you get another place."

"Perfect timing. While I'm back to consolidate my cultivation, I'll look for my fellow disciples who are going to participate in the competition."

Liu Yunqing naturally wouldn't refuse such a thing, and since it wasn't just a matter for him alone, he simply nodded.

Moreover, Liu Yunqing had another candidate in mind whom she also wanted to bring to her side.

Thinking it was a no-brainer, Liu Yunqing immediately sent a message to Master Mingxin.

She mentally calculated the time; it was only about two years until the Cultivation Grand Competition. She did indeed need to return to Luoxia City to cultivate in peace for a while.

Of course, another reason is that she hasn't seen Chunyu Changfeng in a long time and really should go back to visit him.

What Liu Yunqing put so much effort into was, in Si Qing's eyes, just a bunch of boring trifles.

Upon returning to Luoxia City, seeing Liu Yunqing so focused on preparing for the cultivation competition, Si Qing couldn't help but say:

"How can someone who cultivates immortality be so vain?"

"Instead of thinking about how to improve your cultivation, you're always thinking about forming cliques and getting more rankings. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
