Qi Yu watched the three people's backs and sighed, "The world is so cold. I went through all that trouble to save people, and only one of them was genuinely grateful to me. It's not easy to be a good person these days."
Ren Pingsheng: "..."
Ren Pingsheng smiled somewhat reluctantly, "It's nothing. You bravely stepped forward to save people in the face of danger just now. Feixing Sect will definitely, uh, definitely remember your kindness."
The people in the council hall: "..."
In the cave at the highest point of the Flying Star Sect, a small figure lay on a huge hammock. In front of him floated a huge water mirror, which played Qi Yu's actions in the secret realm from all angles.
Upon seeing Ren Pingsheng utter those extremely insincere words, the figure finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He was overjoyed, lying on the hammock laughing non-stop until tears almost streamed down his face. It took him a while to calm down, and he kept muttering to himself.
"This person is very interesting; we must bring her in."
...
Qi Yu sighed again, "It's a pity that we burned that silk-spitting spider to ashes just now, otherwise we could have scored points."
Ren Pingsheng: "There's no need to feel sorry. Miss Yu, you have the ability. You will definitely be able to join the Flying Star Sect smoothly after the assessment."
"I hope so."
Although she spoke with some insecurity, Qi Yu showed no worry on her face.
She walked briskly in another direction, and when she realized that Ren Pingsheng hadn't followed, she turned back in confusion and asked, "Young Master Ren, aren't you coming?"
Ren Pingsheng was holding the small green-furred beast in his arms, seemingly communicating with it. Hearing Qi Yu's voice, he followed.
"They're here."
The first and second days were spent in constant killing. By the third day, Qi Yu's storage bag was almost full of monster corpses.
With only half a day left before they were to leave the secret realm and settle their points, they had encountered several other cultivators who were also participating in the assessment over the past two days. Qi Yu "friendly"ly asked to take a look at their storage bags. While everyone thought she was about to rob them again, Qi Yu actually just took a look.
After examining the storage bags of more than a dozen cultivators, she gradually felt relieved.
There isn't a single one who can fight.
She kindly returned the storage bags to the trembling monks, patted them on the shoulder reassuringly, and said softly, "Keep going!"
Cultivator: "..." How terrifying!
The cultivators, who fled Qi Yu's clutches in a panic, spread the word that there was a heartless female cultivator in the secret realm who loved to rob.
The story spread more and more outrageously, even evolving into a rumor that Qi Yu had robbed all the monsters in their storage bags, which made Qi Yu cry out that he was wronged.
In short, panic gripped the secret realm.
After all, the Flying Star Sect didn't say whether monsters stolen from others counted towards points.
What if we calculate it?
Some people felt fear, while others harbored malicious intentions.
Although the secret realm is full of projection stones, there are always blind spots. The people of the Flying Star Sect only look at those with extraordinary talent and outstanding performance. They naturally cannot distinguish those on the margins whose storage bags are not even full.
Shall we take a gamble?
Success would make him a new disciple of the Flying Star Sect, while failure would simply mean returning to being an ordinary rogue cultivator.
The Flying Star Sect didn't have the time to settle scores with them.
Thus, a "ruthless and ruthless female cultivator who loves to rob" truly appeared in the secret realm.
They were of different sizes, but all of them were masked.
Many cultivators were killed when they had just finished fighting and their spiritual energy was depleted.
Everyone knew about the rumor, so regardless of whether it was true or not, the blame was placed on Qi Yu.
Completely unaware of the enormous blame she had been placed on, Qi Yu was strolling along the edge of a giant lake, leisurely enjoying the scenery.
If it weren't for the abundance of monsters in the secret realm, the scenery here would be quite beautiful; in the original world, it would definitely be a 5A-level scenic spot.
Ren Pingsheng and Qi Yu moved together, their storage bags stuffed full, and he leisurely followed behind Qi Yu.
"Thump!"
Qi Yu pointed to a long, gray fish that had leaped out of the lake and laughed, "Why does this fish look so strange? It looks like a fish and a snake at the same time."
Ren Pingsheng: "...It looks somewhat like the legendary dragon."
Qi Yu blinked and said apologetically to the now calm lake, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiao, I was blind. You are just too beautiful to behold."
Ren Pingsheng: "...Hahaha."
This was the umpteenth fake smile he'd given in the past three days. Qi Yu looked at Ren Pingsheng and said earnestly, "Young Master Ren, if you're forcing yourself to smile, don't. It'll give you wrinkles."
Ren Pingsheng withdrew his smile, his face expressionless.
Qi Yu: "Never mind, you look better when you're smiling. Smile."
Ren Pingsheng was completely numb.
"Just kidding, I'm just casual..."
Suddenly, the water surface exploded like a thunderclap from a clear sky, interrupting her joke.
Qi Yu and Ren Pingsheng suddenly turned around, and a group of men in black who had appeared out of nowhere were floating in the air above the lake.
Holding various weapons, they seemed unaffected by the suppression of their cultivation level in the secret realm, and frantically attacked the water's surface.
Qi Yu pulled Ren Pingsheng into a nearby bush and quietly peeked out.
The person in charge... looks somewhat familiar.
The woman's graceful body was shrouded in black, her familiar face filled with murderous intent. She held a silver hairpin in her hand, and as she uttered incantations, ominous crimson spiritual energy shot continuously towards the lake.
It was actually Takehime!
That day, the Blood Fiend Cult demonic cultivator Zhu Ji slaughtered several people at Chunyi Tower!
Why is she here?
Could it be that the demonic cultivators also want to join the Flying Star Sect?
