"I see."

After listening to Qiu Changtian's account of the whole story, Xu Yinglian finally understood.

In order to seize the position of headmaster, one must possess both prestige and strength to gain recognition from the headmaster and elders.

The upcoming battle for the twelve cities of Baiyujing is an excellent opportunity to accumulate reputation within the Three Pure Ones.

"I want to take the twelve seats in Baiyujing!" Xu Yinglian said with a clenched fist.

Qiu Changtian also breathed a sigh of relief. This Junior Sister Xu was easier to deal with than he had expected.

She is so competitive that as long as you set a goal for her, she will charge towards that goal fearlessly...it's like saying to a boy, "Can you reach that leaf?"

It’s so simple!

"Brother, do you think I'm easy to deal with?" Xu Yinglian said suddenly.

This question almost made Qiu Changtian break out in a cold sweat.

Junior sister, where did you learn the mind-reading skill from? From Master Ziwei?

But he was a veteran spy after all, so he immediately showed a puzzled expression and tilted his head slightly:

"What?"

"Humph." Seeing that he had not been frightened, Xu Yinglian turned and walked out of the cave, "Would you like to practice fighting with me?"

"Junior sister has invited me, how dare I refuse?" Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

When the two arrived at the extreme west, they saw that there were many more Kunlun monks here.

Apparently, the righteous competition among the twelve cities in Baiyujing was not known only to the people of the chief sect.

Many of the elders' disciples had received the news in advance and were now stepping up their combat training!

The fact that the Kunlun disciples, who believe that "cultivation is everything" and are obsessed with breathing and refining qi, began to practice fighting techniques for the first time shows how important this Baiyujing competition is.

Seeing Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian arrive here, the disciples immediately stopped fighting and rushed over enthusiastically, calling out cordially:

"Senior Brother Qiu!"

"Hello, Senior Brother!"

"Is Senior Brother here to practice as well?"

Qiu Changtian responded politely one by one. Xu Yinglian beside him saw it and sighed:

"Brother, in terms of prestige, I'm afraid no one of your peers in Kunlun can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

The tone of her voice when she said this was indeed one of sincere conviction.

After all, Xu Yinglian saw every step of Qiu Changtian's rise to fame.

Initially, starting from the low Qi Refining Stage, the senior brother constantly took outer disciples out to gain experience and complete missions, and almost never asked for anything in return. He was known as "the altruistic leader, Chief Qiu", and this reputation was widely spread among his peers.

Of course, at that time it was only circulated among the outer disciples of that generation.

Later, Qiu Changtian's reputation became so great that he was put on the Demon Cult's wanted list. He could not go out on missions at any time and anywhere, and could only hold debate conferences within the sect to discuss many Taoist theories with his fellow disciples.

Countless elite disciples of Kunlun came up and took turns to debate with him, and they benefited a lot every time. They were all deeply impressed by Qiu Changtian's knowledge.

As a result, his reputation gradually broke out of the circle of outer disciples and began to spread to the circle of inner disciples and elite disciples.

Later, Xu Changqing ascended to become Qingyang Zhenren, and Qiu Changtian obtained the position of Grand Chief in the Foundation Establishment Realm. As a result, not only all the disciples of the current generation, but also the senior brothers and sisters of the previous generation who had not yet formed the golden elixir, also remembered the name of Grand Chief Qiu.

After all, at this time, he has become the chief of all Kunlun Foundation Establishment disciples.

Finally, Kunlun traveled thousands of miles to rescue Penglai. Chief Qiu broke the Zhuxian Sword Formation with his sword alone, and was praised personally by the sect's immortal Chisong in front of all the elders of Kunlun.

This praise completely pushed Qiu Changtian to the pinnacle of Kunlun's reputation - everyone didn't know that the Zhuxian Sword Formation was incomplete, nor did they know that Lei Caiyan, who presided over the formation, was not proficient in formations. They only knew that it was the famous Zhuxian Sword Formation of the Jiejiao that was broken!

Even the Immortal Chisong praised him, what else could anyone say? Which chief in the foundation-building realm could have done this?

Up to this point, Qiu Changtian had completely broken through the upper limit of the reputation of "Chief", so that the Kunlun monks no longer remembered "Chief Qiu" but "Kunlun Qiu Changtian".

From an outer sect disciple, to this generation of disciples, to all Foundation Establishment disciples, and finally famous throughout Kunlun... Only Xu Yinglian knew how much effort and hard work his senior brother had put in.

He did not rely on any external force, nor did he take any shortcuts. He just reached his current height and status step by step. This is the Qiu Changtian I am familiar with, my Taoist partner, my senior brother!

Thinking of this, Xu Yinglian was also slightly moved, and pride and a sense of accomplishment filled his heart.

Qiu Changtian had no idea that Junior Sister Xu beside him had so many inner thoughts. If he knew, he would probably only be able to utter "Junior Sister Xu is right."

After all, the synchronization value of the invincible character setting cannot be told to others, and no one will believe it even if you tell them.

As people came to greet him one after another, the synchronization value continued to rise sharply. At the end, A Jing's voice became a little numb. He said, "It's still rising, you're glad to know it," and then he stopped giving any reminders.

"Hello, everyone." Qiu Changtian was also entangled and could only clasp his fists and say, "My junior sister and I are going to participate in the Baiyujing competition, so we want to find a place here to practice. I can only chat with you next time."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Everyone said at once, "Chief Qiu, come over here to practice. We are free here!"

It was hard to refuse the invitation, so Qiu Changtian just picked an empty spot and stood in the air with Xu Yinglian, standing with their swords on.

The Kunlun monks immediately dispersed, leaving enough space for the two to fight, and then surrounded the area tightly.

There were even many people who raised their hands and shot out sword lights, sending messages to Kunlun Sky Pillar, as if they were calling their friends to come and watch the battle.

Qiu Changtian: ...

With his invincible character, he couldn't just say "Don't watch it". Otherwise, even if everyone understood that he was "afraid of his own information being leaked in advance", it would affect his subsequent synchronization value brushing.

How could the chief of Qiu University do such a thing?

It should be openly shown to everyone. Even if the opponent knows this information, Chief Qiu is confident that he can win!

Qiu Changtian sighed in his heart and could only look at Junior Sister Xu with a smile.

Xu Yinglian had some ideas in mind. He knew that before the Baiyujing competition, it would be best to keep a trump card hidden.

Seeing her senior brother looking at her with a smile, she felt that she and he had the same thoughts.

In the fight later, just do it in moderation. There is no need to use any really powerful means.

"Brother." Xu Yinglian bowed and said, "I will attack first. Please teach me!"

As Qiu Changtian was the chief, of course he would let his junior sister make the first move. Therefore, the spectators did not think it was wrong. They just held their breath and prepared to watch the exciting fight that was about to happen so that they could know how big the gap was between themselves and the chief Qiu.

However, Qiu Changtian was slightly stunned and stood there in a daze.

In his sight, the serious-looking woman who was asking him for advice, and the strong-willed junior sister who had been defeated repeatedly at the gate of Jinling Cave many years ago but still wanted to challenge him to swordsmanship again and again, the two images suddenly crossed time and space and overlapped together, giving him a trance-like feeling that the world had changed a lot.

Time flies, years pass by, but you and I remain the same.

That’s great, junior sister.

"Okay." Qiu Changtian smiled gently.
