Chapter 77 077 Another freeloader has appeared.
"It seems we're bound to face the Hehuan Sect in the finals."
Standing to one side, He Chong looked at Jiang Yan, who was surrounded by the crowd, and said leisurely, "Although that Hua Xiu is not of a high level, she should not be underestimated. We suffered a loss at her hands last time in Wushan."
Shen Miaoyin's gaze swept heavily over Jiang Yan's retreating figure: "She won't be lucky forever. This time, running into Senior Brother is her death day! Senior Brother's infamous 'Soul-Summoning Sword' will definitely make her pay."
He Chong frowned and said, "I always feel that Hua Xiu is not as simple as he seems on the surface, and we need to deal with him carefully."
Jiang Qun dismissed it, saying, "Junior Brother He is overthinking it. No matter how powerful they are, if their foundation isn't solid, how could they possibly turn the world upside down?"
Everyone knows that the disciples accepted by the Hehuan Sect are always those rejected by other major sects, either because they lack talent or have poor physical constitution.
Jiang Yan only joined the Hehuan Sect because her spiritual roots were completely destroyed, so her mere skillful tricks are nothing to fear.
Over the years, apart from their sect master, no one in the Hehuan Sect has successfully ascended to immortality, making them a laughing stock in the Three Realms.
Jiang Qun felt that if he allowed this kind of person to win the Xuanji Jade and the White Jade Bottle from him this time, it would be a sign of his incompetence.
He would never allow such a thing to happen!
Soon, a voice came from the arena, "Next match, Yuanjian Pavilion versus Jianqi Pavilion, please prepare."
Shen Miaoyin frowned and looked at He Chong, saying, "Senior Brother He, get ready to go on stage. Be careful."
He Chong nodded: "I know."
He then leaped onto the arena.
"Over there at the Hehuan Sect, Poyun is preparing for the next match by analyzing the opponent's strengths and weaknesses," Jiang Yan added a few more words based on Poyun's words, and then sat down to watch the show.
With a gurgle, it rolled back and threw a bunch of wild vegetables and mushrooms at Jiang Yan's feet.
Then she snuggled up to her feet, rubbing against her and whining, "Waaah, Master~ I'm hungry, I want to eat~"
Jiang Yan patted his dark head and said with a smile, "Then let's cook!"
"Very good!"
Jiang Yan gestured to the few mosaics to take their things and find a quiet place. She then took out her pots and pans and began to prepare a meal.
While they were busy at work, the competition was also in full swing.
Soon it was time for the second match of the morning for the Hehuan Sect. Their opponent was a sect with considerable strength among the major sects.
He was a mid-to-late Nascent Soul cultivator, and his cultivation level was similar to that of Jinmu, the disciple sent by the Hehuan Sect. Therefore, it was difficult to determine the winner for the time being, and both of them had some injuries on their bodies, making the entanglement somewhat difficult.
Fortunately, Po Yun had already carefully studied the opponent's moves with Kaneki, which allowed him to narrowly win at the last moment.
Jinmu stepped down from the arena, took the medicine bottle from Poyun, and smiled, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Ruoning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The first half is finally over without any major incidents!"
Po Yun frowned and said, "The key is in the second half."
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if the two of us can't make it, we still have our junior sister! I always felt that she has some luck on her side!"
As soon as Ruoning finished speaking, she turned around and saw smoke rising from the chimneys outside the crowd.
Jiang Yan stood there, using her spiritual power to control a pile of pots and pans, while 'Gongsun Jin' stood beside her, controlling the heat.
Lin Yun, Ling Yue, and Xiao Bai would occasionally hand her plates, bowls, and chopsticks.
Dongfang Chen sat there calmly, smelling the aroma of food in the air, his mind wandering: This dish is my favorite, and so was the one just now.
This Hua Xiu is definitely interested in him, otherwise why would she go to such lengths to please him?
Shen Yuchen secretly took a bite of the fish on the plate, and then his eyes widened in surprise. It was his favorite flavor!
She really does care about him!
Ruoning looked at Jiang Yan and the others and chuckled, "Junior Sister, with that kind of mentality, nothing she does will go wrong. Once we get the Xuanji Jade and stabilize her internal energy, her cultivation will advance even further, right?"
Po Yun frowned and said, "If we can really win the Xuanji Jade, the benefits to her are self-evident, and it will also benefit the others."
"I was worried that once the Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord took human form, they would be eager to break their contract with my junior sister. But it seems I was overthinking it."
Po Yun chuckled and said, "Junior Sister has always been innocent, lively, and adorable. She can live well without anyone. These are not the focus right now. The focus is on winning the Xuanji Jade."
Ruoning frowned. Although she spoke lightly, she was well aware that many experts had gathered for this treasure hunt.
Their Hehuan Sect wasn't entirely confident, otherwise Poyun wouldn't have submitted both his name and his own.
But it doesn't matter, the people of the Hehuan Sect have a good attitude!
Ruoning walked towards Jiang Yan outside the crowd, the air filled with the enticing aroma of food, which seemed to penetrate deep into one's lungs.
"Junior sister, your cooking looks amazing!"
Jiang Yan squinted and handed over the sweet and sour pork ribs, asking, "Senior sister, would you like to try some?"
Ruoning picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The hot aroma of the meat burst out between her lips and teeth with a "pop," and the meat juice instantly filled her mouth.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she nodded repeatedly: "Delicious!"
Lin Yun sighed, thinking, "Oh no, another freeloader has appeared!"
Ruoning waved her hand, gesturing to Daiyue and the others not far away: "Come and have a taste!"
Lin Yun and Shen Yuchen exchanged a glance, then darted over and quickly grabbed several pieces of pork ribs...
Coal Ball watched as the group of people approached and quietly hid the plate of fish in front of him.
"Awoo!" It swallowed the fish head in one gulp, chewed and chewed, and squinted its eyes in satisfaction.
Jiang Yan looked helplessly at the empty plate in front of her, then silently took out some mushrooms and wild vegetables from her magic bag...
After they finished eating and tidied up, the afternoon competition began.
This was the first time Jiang Yan had seen Senior Sister Ruoning and Senior Brother Poyun compete with someone. Although Senior Sister Ruoning usually seemed a bit crazy and unserious, she never let anyone down when it mattered.
However, Jiang Yan could still tell that her senior sister probably didn't like practicing swordsmanship on a regular basis, so swordsmanship wasn't her forte.
However, the other party prefers to attack her weaknesses.
Dai Yue, watching from below the stage, looked extremely nervous.
At the last moment, she abandoned her sword and used her palm as a blade. Wherever her palm passed, the energy was like a rainbow, carrying an aura that could sweep away thousands of troops!
Ruoning feinted an attack, then struck the man's shoulder with a palm strike, before kicking him off the stage while he was off guard.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience as Ruoning gracefully leaped in front of the Hehuan Sect members.
She smiled at Jiang Yan and said, "How about it? I didn't let you down, did I? This time I'm going to take that Xuanji Jade from you!"
Jiang Yan frowned: "So, Senior Sister and Senior Brother actually came here for me this time?"
Ruoning smiled and said, "It can't really be said that I came here for you. After all, this Xuanji Jade or the White Jade Bottle can also be useful to other disciples in the sect. Your senior brother and I are more senior, so we naturally want to be the first to grab such a good opportunity."
Jiang Yan smiled, though she was actually quite touched inside.
The relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of the Hehuan Sect was so much better than the life of a beast of burden she had lived in her previous life. Both Senior Sister Ruoning and Senior Brother Poyun were wholeheartedly concerned for the sake of their fellow disciples.
After this round of competition, the three or four winning sects will face another draw.
Po Yun was matched against Shen Miaoyin of Yuanjian Pavilion in this draw.
