Chapter 39 Argument
"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Cen Feng could only get up and hastily splash water on his face.
Seeing the dark circles under Yu Xian'er's eyes, Nan Muyin guessed that she hadn't rested well, and said softly, "Later, I'll go find a few more inns. We can't just make do like this."
"It's alright, don't worry about me. I'm fine with everyone." Yu Xian'er clutched the handkerchief in her hand and said softly, "Besides, you're the main force in the competition, I don't think I can be of much help..."
"Nonsense!"
"Alright, let's go downstairs."
Looking at Yu Xian'er's expression, Ye Luo felt that something was wrong. Ever since she set off, Yu Xian'er had seemed preoccupied.
After everyone had breakfast, Ming Cang led the group into the central arena, and their queue was placed at the very end.
Ye Luo looked around the circular arena. On the prominent high platform, several people with an air of otherworldly elegance sat in the main seat, and Fu Zhenghan was among them.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given the current status of the Tianfeng Sect in the Immortal Dao Alliance, it's not surprising that they could get a council member position in the alliance.
Suddenly, Ye Luo seemed to understand something.
No wonder the alliance insisted that Peach Blossom Valley participate in this sect competition; the Heavenly Wind Sect must have played a significant role in it.
"Such a petty person..." Ye Luo rolled her eyes and complained, yawning occasionally, "I never thought that even after cultivating immortality, I would still have to listen to those long and tedious opening ceremony speeches..."
"Please be quiet, everyone!"
At this moment, an elderly man with white hair and beard stood up from the main seat and gestured to the crowd.
A cheer erupted from the audience. The old man gestured for silence, then spoke in a powerful voice: "Since the founding of the Immortal Alliance, the Grand Competition has been a regular event for friendly exchange and competition among the major sects..."
"Who is this person?" Ye Luo asked, yawning.
Nan Muyin: "He is the leader of the Immortal Alliance and the head of the Xuanwu Palace."
"Oh..." Ye Luo nodded in sudden realization. So he was Yu Xuan's master.
No wonder Bai Ruoqian took a liking to him. As the direct disciple of the Alliance Leader, this is a significant resource that will lay the foundation for her future development in the Immortal Alliance.
Suddenly, Ye Luo sensed a murderous intent. He immediately closed his eyes and used his divine sense to investigate, finally catching her.
Who else could it be but Bai Ruoqian?
Suddenly, Ye Luo frowned and fell into deep thought. "How could she be so young and have such a strong desire to kill..." He suddenly felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
"That woman named Bai Ruoqian seems to have always harbored murderous intent towards you. You should be careful in the future," Jun Yi whispered to him.
"You also think something's off about her?"
"Hmm." Jun Yi thought for a moment and continued, "For some reason, she makes me feel very uncomfortable..."
"Could she be the one who hurt you?" Ye Luo was somewhat surprised. She guessed that Bai Ruoqian didn't have that much power right now.
"no."
"Oh well, you'd better keep your presence hidden."
As Ye Luo and Bai Ruoqian spoke in secret, Bai Ruoqian's intense killing intent was noticed even by those around her.
"Be careful to control your emotions, and don't let your emotions show." At this moment, the voice of the Soul Guide suddenly rang in Bai Ruoqian's mind.
"I get annoyed just looking at him!" Bai Ruoqian said angrily, her eyes filled with malice.
"There are plenty of ways to make him disappear, like your followers, aren't they the most effective weapons?"
"Indeed, I almost forgot about them." Ruoqian sneered. She had recently won over quite a few people, and with just a slight signal, they would naturally rush to stand up for her.
"Hmph, Ye Luo, you just wait!"
The leader of the alliance on the stage was still giving a passionate speech, and his lengthy words were finally coming to an end, "...For the future of the Immortal Alliance, let us work together!"
After he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Ye Luo, however, seemed out of place in the atmosphere, constantly yawning and feeling sleepy. Yu Qianling nudged him and asked, "Are you really that sleepy?"
"All I want to do right now is die in bed..."
"..."
After the opening ceremony, Ming Cang led everyone towards the rest area to begin preparations for the individual competition.
"Hey! Isn't this Sister Xian'er?" Suddenly, a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out behind them.
Ye Luo and the others who were walking behind turned around and saw a girl dressed in purple standing not far away with her arms crossed, and a number of people standing behind her.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xian'er's body stiffened, and her face turned pale. Ye Luo, seeing that the group had come with ill intentions, pulled her behind him and said coldly, "Second Senior Sister, let's go."
"Um……"
"Wait, don't go! You're a member of the Yu family, after all. Shouldn't you at least greet the patriarch when he comes? How can you be so rude!"
"I am no longer a member of the Yu family." Yu Xian'er looked somewhat sad and continued walking forward without paying any more attention to her.
"Heh, as expected of a bastard with no manners, no wonder he was raised by that bitch Yu Zheng!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er stopped in her tracks, her face darkening as she glared at her. "Yu Xinyao, watch your mouth!"
"Hmph! So what if I said that? Yu Zheng is a slut, a slut, a slut!!!"
"She committed such heinous acts as killing her teacher and friends, and she doesn't even allow others to talk about it? If it weren't for my father intervening back then, the Yu family would have been implicated and wiped out by her. I'm being lenient by scolding her!"
"She didn't!!" Yu Xian'er's eyes were bloodshot as she said in a trembling voice, "Sister would never do such a thing..."
Yu Zheng?
Ye Luo frowned and pondered. It seemed that there was indeed such a character in the original work, but he was only used as a background description for Yu Xian'er's corruption.
So Yu Zheng is the older sister of the second senior sister?
The book describes how Yu Xian'er was kicked out of her home because of her sister and harbored resentment ever since. Coupled with the tragic death of Nan Muyin, she turned evil and killed everyone in her path, but was eventually killed by Bai Ruoqian and her men.
Could there be more to this story?
The argument drew everyone's attention. Just then, a tall, slender man walked over and asked, "Xinyao, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinyao ran over and threw herself into the man's arms, saying aggrievedly, "Brother Ce, I just wanted to say hello to Sister Xian'er, but I didn't expect her to be so mean to me..."
Ye Luo couldn't help but roll her eyes. This bitch-like behavior, why doesn't she go and have a showdown with the female lead, that innocent white lotus? They'd probably be evenly matched.
Zhuo Yunce looked at Yu Xian'er, his face showing surprise: "Xian'er, is that you?"
"Sect Grand Competition".
Which sect are you currently in?
"Peach Blossom Valley".
"Oh." Zhuo Yunze looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped. At this moment, Yu Xinyao took his arm, a smug look on her face.
"Sister Xian'er, we're getting married soon. If you don't mind, you must come and have a drink at our wedding."
"Okay, I'll go with Xian'er then."
Nan Muyin arrived at some unknown time, and with a large hand around Yu Xian'er's slender waist, a look of worry appeared in his tender eyes.
