"Oh no, I almost forgot the time!"
Qi Yu slapped his forehead in frustration. Before he could say a few more words to Zhu Xiuzi, he hurriedly pulled Liu Xing out of the space.
Zhu Xiuzi floated in the air, only managing to utter half of "Go for it!" before his two disciples vanished.
"What an impatient person..."
He muttered a complaint, sighed as he looked at the now quiet and desolate space, and turned to bury himself in the pile of storybooks.
Qi Yu, meanwhile, pulled Meteor along, using his movement technique to drift towards the plaza in front of the sect.
Upon seeing this, Feng Xiao, who was following behind her, transformed into his original form.
A magnificent white phoenix suddenly appeared in the woods, its pure white feathers spotless, its long tail feathers trailing behind it. With a flap of its wings, it caught up with the hurried girl.
"Xiaoyu, come up here."
Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and, together with Liu Xing, leaped onto Bai Feng's back.
The sect had set up a magic array, which should have prevented birds from flying, but Feng Xiao was no ordinary demon beast, so it was normal that the magic array couldn't do anything to him.
She clung to a feather on Fengxiao's body and peered down.
There seemed to be fewer people inside the sect; they must have already arrived at the plaza in front of the sect.
It was all her fault for being so engrossed in cultivating in the space that she almost missed the time. It was only when Feng Xiao entered the space and reminded her that she remembered today was the day to set off for Yunyang Sect.
but……
While cultivating just now, she even had a vague feeling that if she were given a little more time, she could break through the early stage of the Golden Core realm and advance to the middle stage.
But with this interruption, that mysterious state vanished.
What a pity.
The communication jade talisman in Qi Yu's arms kept lighting up, but Qi Yu had no time to look at it anymore.
It was probably her teammates urging her, the team organizer.
The sect plaza was now in sight. Feng Xiao lowered his body and began to accelerate.
A large crowd had already gathered in the square, and they all looked up at the sky.
"What kind of spirit beast is that! It looks so powerful!"
"Wait a minute, aren't flying beasts forbidden in sects? How can this person do it!"
Before they could get a better look, two figures had already gracefully descended from the sky.
"Wow! This looks kind of familiar..."
"Without a doubt, only that person has the confidence to fly so freely with a beast within the sect."
"Ahem, I heard that the one from the Azure Dragon Kingdom..."
"Shh! Can't you see that guy standing up there? Be careful he doesn't hear you and take it out on you."
The group of people reluctantly fell silent.
The two people who had attracted everyone's attention also came over.
When Venerable Canglang, who was standing at the very front of the crowd, saw the newcomer, his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
He asked, "Why are you only arriving now?"
"Something came up and I was delayed."
Qi Yu bowed apologetically to everyone, "I'm so sorry, I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time."
A sarcastic voice rang out from the crowd.
"How could we dare to make the renowned sect leader's disciple apologize? Shouldn't we just wait and see?"
"Haha, do you think she'll be like this during the competition? Everyone else will be on the stage waiting, but she'll be nowhere to be seen for ages."
Qi Yu pursed her lips and looked toward the source of the sound.
The bronze-skinned man, surrounded by several people, gave her a provocative sidelong glance.
It is Yin Hongwei.
Well, she was in the wrong after all, so it's only right that she gets a few words of criticism.
Qi Yu turned around and said to Venerable Canglang, "Venerable, now that everyone is here, let's set off."
However, her attitude only emboldened Yin Hongwei and his associates.
"Ha. She leaves once everyone is here, with so many people waiting for her. She's shameless."
“Junior Sister Yu—no, can we ordinary disciples call the sect leader’s personal disciple ‘junior sister’? What if she gets upset and beats me up too?”
Qi Yu clenched his fist in suppressed anger.
During the sect competition, Yun Gui did not go with them, and Canglang Venerable, another disciple of the sect leader, also seemed distant to outsiders.
That's why these people felt she had lost her backer and kept pressing the issue, making sarcastic remarks.
Just as I was closing my eyes and silently reciting the mantra "Don't Get Angry," a gentle and kind voice suddenly rang out again.
“Junior Brother Yin, although Junior Sister Yu and Junior Brother Liuxing are the last two to arrive, there is still a quarter of an hour before departure, so you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
Qi Yu turned around unexpectedly, and the woman in the light blue robe smiled at her, "Junior Sister Yu has done nothing wrong, there is no need to apologize."
Wen Ru wore a smile, but her words clearly indicated her support for Qi Yu.
When Yin Hongwei saw her speaking up for Qi Yu, his square face opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, finally letting out a furious snort.
Wen Ru helped many disciples calculate their scores during the secret realm trial. Her gentle smile and always soft voice left a ripple in the hearts of many disciples.
Among these people was Yin Hongwei, who had received medicine for his injuries from Wen Ru.
He still keeps those medicine bottles carefully, taking them out from time to time to recall his brief exchange with Wen Ru.
Unfortunately, his beloved was now helping his enemy, so he could only console himself that women always side with women.
Wen Ru was highly respected among the disciples, and no one discussed her anymore.
Qi Yu walked gratefully towards Wen Ru and whispered her thanks.
"It's alright, it wasn't your fault." Wen Ru reached out and helped her comb her hair, which was a little messy from the wind.
When the appointed time arrived, Venerable Canglang, who had remained silent until now, finally stood up and formed a hand seal.
As he moved his hands, everyone was surprised to find streaks of pale light emerging from beneath their feet.
