There were many martial arts training grounds, and the empty places that were usually there were now crowded. Yan Weiwan stretched his neck to look around.
There are several other sects participating in the trial this time.
Among the Xianbei Sect, Chenwu Sect, and Guyou Sect, only the Ziyun Sect is special.
The rest of the sects wore different costumes, all colorful. The elders went to the Xuanying Sect's main hall to discuss with the elders of their own sect.
Speaking of negotiation, in fact, everyone knows the process, but on the one hand, we need to do a good job on the surface.
Since the leading elder was not there at this time, the disciples from other sects were discussing and resting in the area prepared by Xuanying Sect.
Most of them are new students this year, and they look nervous and expectant, chattering non-stop.
Yin Huan's eyes were attracted by the figure in the far corner.
There is only one female disciple in Ziyun Sect.
Hun was wearing a black robe and a black cloak, with the hood of the cloak pulled up to cover half of his face. He was carrying a long umbrella on his back and stood there silently without saying a word.
Yan Weiwan gestured to Yin Huan.
"Wow, it seems like you were also well-dressed when I first met you when you came to the sect. How come there is only one person in their sect?"
Yin Huan took a look.
Indeed, she looked alike. However, she was wearing tattered clothes at that time, with nothing but patches. She could tell at a glance that the little girl was not ordinary. She was a beautiful girl who was invulnerable to water and fire, and should have been extremely favored in the sect.
"Ziyun Sect..."
Yin Huan murmured, feeling that this was somewhat different from the Ziyun Sect in his memory.
Although the Ziyun Sect's disciples' attire was similar to hers, she still remembered that in previous trials, the Ziyun Sect was as lively as other sects and would not be so desolate.
Could such a huge change happen in 500 years? Could such a powerful sect be reduced to such a state? What happened during this period?
Although it's none of his business, he still can't help but be curious.
However, now is not the time to think about the hexagram, but to focus on the competition.
Yin Huan shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, but someone else started a discussion about it, and the two of them heard every word of it.
"Strange... That Ziyun Sect, no matter which competition, there is only that one person. Is their sect so destitute?"
"Their sect... is notoriously difficult to cultivate. After all, it is the way of soul refining. If you are not careful, you may develop some strange demonic diseases. This leads to a decrease in the number of disciples every year."
"Yes, and I heard that during the war between immortals and demons five hundred years ago, the Ziyun Sect also suffered heavy losses. A traitor, the Jie Mo Clan, emerged in the sect. Later, when they were trying to rebuild their forces, they encountered the attack by the Xiao family. The entire sect was almost destroyed, and now only a single sapling is left."
"Ah? This is too tragic, isn't it? You are the only one in the sect, yet you come to the meeting alone. I really admire you a lot."
Everyone sighed, and suddenly realized that the little girl seemed to have heard their discussion and was looking at them with her head slightly tilted.
However, she quickly withdrew her gaze, walked to the other side, and stood far away, far away from the chattering crowd.
Seeing her like this, the group of students opened their mouths and started discussing again.
“Boom——”
Later on, Yin Huan 놌 Yan Weiwan didn’t go to listen.
Because the Xuanying bell had already rung, Geng Jihuan, wearing pearls and jade on her head, with a charming look in her eyes and an orange-red tight-fitting waisted dress, stood in front of the sect's palace facing the wind. She did not feel out of place, but instead had a different kind of charming charm, which was very suitable for this autumn season.
The elders from various sects came out from behind him, all with smiles on their faces, and walked to their seats still discussing.
Although it is a test, it is also related to the reputation of each sect.
"Dear disciples, welcome to participate in this sect trial meeting. Elders, please take your seats."
Geng Jihuan spoke, and the elders made invitation gestures with their hands, and after sitting down, they began to exchange greetings.
Everyone's eyes were on them, while Yin Huan looked at Bai Yunshu who was walking at the end.
There was a flash of surprise in her eyes.
Bai Yunshu was wearing a blue and white robe with long sleeves, white gauze adorning his shoulders, a blue and white crown on his head, a high ponytail, an elder's jade pendant hanging around his waist, a smile on his lips, a gentleness emanating from his heroic spirit, even a little unruly.
She had never seen Bai Yunshu dressed like this before, and was stunned for a moment until Yan Weiwan motioned for her to go over and gather. Then she withdrew her gaze, but still couldn't help but look for him secretly.
She stood in the team, while Bai Yunshu, who was sitting in the elder's seat, was drinking tea calmly, looking at his disciples who came to participate in the trial.
Geng Jihuan and the others all had inner disciples standing behind them. Geng Jihuan preferred red and orange, so her disciples' uniforms were also red and orange.
Nan Lezhi was purple, and her brothers were also dressed in purple and stood quietly beside her.
As for Yue Daiyuan, she was quietly pouring herself a glass of wine. Her younger brother beside her looked at her speechlessly, signaling her not to be so impatient.
Behind Bai Yunshu, there was nothing.
She didn't say anything, just quietly observing the surroundings.
The clothes for Xuanyingzong's new disciples are red and black. After becoming disciples, new clothes will be distributed. You can wear them casually, but today, you need to be more neat.
Thinking back to the first time Geng Jihuan saw her this morning, he dreamed directly back to the carefree days of his youth.
She tilted her head to read the book, her eyes full of admiration and joy.
I remember that back then Bai Yunshu also wore a blue robe, with sword flowers flying in his hands, and won first place in every competition.
She saw it, but later on, Bai Yunshu Zhongai wore white clothes. Although the figure was not bad and both looked good, she did not have the heroic spirit as before, and there was a faint melancholy air about her.
"Junior sister, it's rare that you have dressed up. This time I dreamed back to the past, and you looked so beautiful! This body suits you best, and you really make the world happy."
She praised him generously and also encouraged Nan Lezhi to praise him together.
Nan Lezhi beside him nodded slightly, which was considered as agreeing with what Geng Jihuan said.
It really looks good.
Bai Yunshu smiled when he heard her praise.
"Senior sister, you are joking. Senior sister is pretty, and Elder Nan is pretty too."
As colleagues for so many years, you still have to flatter each other occasionally to maintain a good relationship with each other.
In terms of social skills, Bai Yunshu thought it was enough to have good relations with the people in the sect. After all, she would not go out to contact people from other sects.
Only Yue Daiyuan was true to her character and said she would not beat around the bush with them.
Yue Daiyuan walked in and said to Bai Yunshu the first time she saw him: "Hey, Elder Ying Su is so arrogant today? This new dress, this new skirt, and the thousand-year-old blue ink crown on the head, is it because you want to accept a new disciple?"
She spotted the blue inkstone on the top of the crown at a glance.
After all, she had wanted to find a precious sword to decorate herself, and she spent a lot of money to buy a small one, and placed the precious one in the middle of the hilt.
She loves to have fun no matter what, Bai Yunshu narrowed his eyes.
"After all, it is also the sect's business, so it is only right to dress appropriately and bring honor to the sect. I am not like Elder Yue who doesn't care about it and doesn't even change his clothes. I guess he doesn't care about the sect at all."
The elders always liked to joke with each other. Geng Jihuan laughed immediately when Nan Lezhi knew about it and looked at Yue Daiyuan.
Yue Dai has not changed much since then. She is dressed in a strong black outfit. Apart from the required elder's hat, she has few accessories. Her whole appearance reveals a sense of simplicity.
Yue Daiyuan sat down and started to refute.
"Hey, hey, hey? Who told you I didn't change clothes? I did! But my dress is the same color! Can't you take a closer look? The dark patterns on the embroidery are different."
She often wears black clothes, and most of the things in her closet are also black, which is stain-resistant and wear-resistant, and most importantly, it saves money!
Even if it gets torn, you won't be able to see it after mending it, and you can just get through another year without any hassles! It's a must-have for a frugal household.
Who in the entire sect can surpass her?
Bai Yunshu looked at her from behind and said thoughtfully, "I'm really sorry, I really didn't notice it. I always felt that you didn't change your clothes. If you want to change, just pretend I didn't say anything. Why don't you ask the other elders if they noticed it?"
She suggested Yue Daiyuan with a smile in her eyes.
Geng Jihuan tried to suppress his laughter and observed the situation carefully.
She observed it carefully, really carefully, looking her up and down, and then expressed her own opinion.
"Actually... maybe, maybe it has been changed. After all, I remember there was a hole in Elder Yue's skirt before, but now it's invisible. I don't know why it has been repaired or changed."
Hearing her words, Yue Daiyuan smiled awkwardly.
There's no need to observe so carefully... Doesn't she have any dignity?
"Yes, I really did. But I did mend the hem of the dress. We should carry forward the fine traditional virtues of diligence and thrift..."
She remained calm, Geng Ji smiled and nodded seriously.
"Elder Yue is right. Be diligent and frugal in managing your household."
She would not expose Yue Daiyuan and give her some face. It was not easy to be a sword practitioner, and the martial arts responsibility of the sect still depended on them.
