Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren were paying close attention to Bai Mumu's lottery results.

Behind Bai Mumu were Feng Heyun and his three companions.

Shen Daochen originally did not intend for the four of them to participate in the individual competition, as their condition was not good.

However, under their strong insistence, and given that Master Lingxiao also wanted them to undergo training, he agreed.

Even if they were in poor condition, they were still Lingxiao Zhenren's personal disciples, so their strength wouldn't be too bad.

Bai Mumu placed the Flying Cloud Sect's Young Sect Master's token on the boulder.

"Feng Heyun of the Flying Cloud Sect, Group One."

"Bai Mumu from Feiyun Sect, second group."

"Luo Chu of Feiyun Sect, Group 3."

Feng Heyun and Luo Chu took the tokens on their own, without saying a word to Bai Mumu the whole time.

Instead, he looked around, seemingly searching for Shen Sangruo's figure.

Upon seeing Ye Huai and the others beside Shen Sangruo, the two gritted their teeth and gripped the tokens in their hands tightly, as if they wanted to crush them.

"Wait, the person who went to release the Young Sect Master's token from Ninghua Sect... was it Xiao Ruo?" Wen Xuan strained his eyes, trying to see the scene clearly.

The group turned their heads in unison and saw Shen Sangruo raising her hand to take the young sect leader's token off the boulder.

"She's the young sect leader of Ninghua Sect?!" Feng Heyun's voice changed. "She's only been in Ninghua Sect for a short time, how did she become the young sect leader?"

After watching the lottery draw for the Flying Cloud Sect, Shen Daochen, who was on the high platform, naturally looked towards the Ninghua Sect.

Upon seeing Shen Sangruo standing in front of Ye Huai and the others, he immediately understood her status in Ninghua Sect, and his gaze suddenly froze.

His half-closed eyes were instantly filled with gloom and unbelievable anger.

It would have been fine if Shen Sang had joined a new sect, but instead he became the young sect master of Ninghua Sect.

He knew what the position of Young Sect Master meant and how important it was to a sect, and Shen Sangruo knew it too.

Does she really intend to settle down in Ninghua Sect and stay there for the rest of her life?

How can someone like her shoulder the responsibility of a young master?

Shen Daochen could see that the sect leader of Ninghua Sect, Wuwei Daoren, was not a fool. If Shen Sang acted recklessly, would he act recklessly along with her?

Is this how the fate of an entire sect is entrusted to someone who has just joined?

That small token was enough to demonstrate how much Wuwei Daoren valued Chen Sangruo.

“He’s really getting senile,” Shen Daochen said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Shen Daochen felt only agitated and confused. Shen Sangruo's actions were going a bit too far.

Their hostility towards Ninghua Sect has even surpassed that of Tianjian Sect, which has been ranked second in previous years.

"Her personality is nowhere near as good as Mu Mu's, yet she dares to dream of becoming the young sect leader? Humph, what a disgrace."

He only hoped that Bai Mumu would trample Shen Sangruo into the dust, so as to wake Shen Sangruo from that unrealistic fantasy.

Lingxiao Zhenren's face was also covered with frost.

The two shared the same thought: they absolutely could not allow Ninghua Sect to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.

Since it's a minor sect, it should be eliminated and perish!

"Purple!" A familiar voice drifted from afar.

"Hiss, where did that strange noise come from?" Song Weiyan frowned, stroking his chin.

Shen Sangruo turned around and saw Fang Yu, with amazing skill, easily pass through the crowd and wave to her.

"Sister Sang Ruo!"

His familiar "Sister Sang Ruo" immediately put Ye Huai and the others on their guard.

"Hey bro, is this your grandma?" Song Weiyan glanced at the handsome young man in front of her, her tone somewhat sarcastic.

"What grandma and brother?" Fang Yu scratched his head, clearly feeling a little uncomfortable under the stares of four pairs of eyes. "You must be Sang Ruo's senior brothers and sisters, right?"

"Who is this?" Bai Ruoan asked Shen Sangruo.

Shen Sangruo explained, "He is Fang Yu, whom I met in the Illusory Realm, from the Joyful Union Sect."

“Yes!” Fang Yu nodded. He looked at Su Xiyu and said, “This must be Sang Ruo’s fourth senior sister. Hello, senior sister. I even took your pills when I was in the Illusory Domain.”

Then his gaze swept over the other three people before finally settling on Bai Ruoan. "You are... Sister Sang Ruo's third senior brother? Your eyes are so bright, it must be you!"

Su Xiyu and the other three looked at each other. Hmm, they really do seem a bit dim-witted.

The group then lowered their guard.

“I saw Sister Sang Ruo when Ninghua Sect first entered the arena, but I haven’t had a chance to come and find you.”

"Those seniors of Ninghua Sect are truly amazing, especially that Immortal Lord Changli. He's your master, right?" Fang Yu asked excitedly.

"Hmm." Shen Sanruo looked at the Young Sect Master token in Fang Yu's hand and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Young Sect Master?"

"Temporarily, temporarily." Fang Yu sighed and said helplessly, "There's no one else from the Hehuan Sect, so I have to come."

"I'm in group one, Sister Sang Ruo, which group are you in?"

“Group three, my senior brother is in the same group as you.” Shen Sangruo smiled and looked in Ye Huai’s direction.

Ye Huai remained as indifferent as ever, nodding to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu quickly replied, "You're too kind. Senior Brother seems to be quite skilled. If we run into each other later, please go easy on him."

The Hehuan Sect members were just there to make up the numbers, so they didn't care about rankings.

As they were talking, a moment later, Ji Zicang from the Beast Taming Sect also came over.

After exchanging greetings and introductions, Chen Sangruo asked, "Fellow Daoist Ji, is there something you need?"

Winning over the Beast Taming Sect was an important step in Shen Sangri's plan for the Ninghua Sect, and she also attached great importance to Ji Zicang's actions.

"I don't know, my master told me to come." Ji Zicang answered honestly, "He didn't tell me what to do, he just told me to come."

Shen Sanruo nodded, realizing that the token she had given to Yuan Jin had worked.

Having witnessed the elders' contest earlier, Yuan Jin may have already wavered somewhat, but he is still hesitant at this moment.

That's why Ji Zicang was sent over; it was also a kind of test.

"Brother Ji, are you also participating in the individual competition? Which group are you in?" Fang Yu was keen to find out everyone's group assignments.

"I'm in group three."

"Then you're in the same group as Sister Sang Ruo." Fang Yu looked on with envy. "Why wasn't I in the same group as Sister Sang Ruo?"

"Meeting me is not a good thing, I won't hold back." Shen Sanruo smiled.

"Young Master Shen."

At that moment, two voices rang out simultaneously, and a man and a woman appeared in their line of sight.

Shen Sanruo recognized the two as Zhu Huaqiao and Chen Zhouxing, the young sect leaders of the Weapon Refining Sect and the Alchemy Sect, respectively. The two seemed to be behaving intimately.

She had heard of the two men when she was in the Flying Cloud Sect. Although she had never met them, she could tell them apart by their clothing.

"Young Sect Master Zhu, Young Sect Master Chen," Shen Sangruo greeted the two with a cupped-hand salute.

The two men returned the gesture with clasped hands, both wearing friendly smiles, showing no hostility whatsoever.

However, Shen Sangruo was somewhat unsure of their intentions regarding their arrival.
