No one cared about the competition below. Everyone sat together on the high platform, laughing and chatting peacefully. There was none of the situation that everyone had imagined, where the two "senior sisters" would inevitably fight when they met. In the end, quite a few people challenged the other disciples, and even Shangguan Xi was challenged. However, Xu Yuehuai and Ji Yaocen were ignored.
Everyone knows Ji Yaocen's strength. Most people didn't realize that Ji Yaocen was fighting with an injury during the competition, and those who could have seen it wouldn't bother to fight a woman with an injury.
As for Xu Yuehuai, it's even simpler. Those who didn't know Ji Yaocen was injured, seeing Xu Yuehuai defeat the former senior sister and still be alive and kicking, who would want to waste this hard-won opportunity to attack such a monster? And those with some strength thought the same way.
Xu Yuehuai is weak, and they don't want to waste such a good combat experience on someone who is likely just a pretty face.
Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen were also challenged, and the final result was obvious: some won and some lost. Fortunately, these two were not stubborn and did not insist on a reputation. When they saw that they might lose, they gave up in time to avoid injury. So, although they fought many matches, they were almost unharmed.
After the competition, there were quite a few winners. Among these winners, some will have the opportunity to participate in the competition of the seven major sects. It is an opportunity to prove the strength of the sect. Each sect will send out the person they believe to be the most powerful to fight in order to win this competition.
...
After the sect competition ended, Ji Yaocen returned to the dark room without saying a word. On the way, Mingqing stopped her. "Senior sister! What was the reason for your actions today? I don't understand, but I can see that you were helping that person. So why are you being punished even though you've already done that?"
Ji Yaocen looked at the innocent young girl in front of her with doting eyes, "Helping her and whether I am punished are two different things. Helping her is my own choice. The sect cannot be disbanded. Rather than letting others challenge her, it is more authoritative for me, the former senior sister, to challenge her."
"But I just can't accept it! Why are they treating you like this? You didn't do anything wrong, you just said a few words, is it necessary to be punished so severely?" Mingqing's voice was trembling with tears. She really couldn't believe that Ji Yaocen had been in there for half a day and was still in such a half-dead state. If she had stayed in there for another two days, she would probably have been on the verge of death when she came out.
Before Ji Yaocen could respond, a voice came from behind her, "Her punishment will be announced after the competition. This is a matter of prestige, the prestige of the sect leader that cannot be challenged."
Xu Yuehuai followed behind. She had come specifically to find Ji Yaocen. When the aloof woman heard the voice, she turned around and glanced at her. The two were similar in personality and could easily understand each other's thoughts with just a look.
"Don't you understand yet? If it wasn't her who was punished, it would have been you. She took the initiative to ask the sect leader for this opportunity, but you're still causing trouble here. Don't you feel ashamed?" Xu Yuehuai didn't give Ming Qing any face at all. Some people are like that. If you don't explain things clearly, the other party will never understand. Even if you have hinted at the final point, the other party will only think that you are stubborn and incorrigible.
Mingqing thought so in her heart. She felt that Ji Yaocen was an old-fashioned person. Why did she insist on doing things that didn't need to be done? She could have saved herself the trouble, but she insisted on suffering instead.
Ming Qing was stunned for a moment. Recalling the situation that day, she did say a lot of bad things, but in the end, it was Ji Yaocen who was punished. She thought it was related to the last few words Ji Yaocen said. She had considered that Ji Yaocen was being punished in her place, but she thought that the sect leader's decision was made casually. She never expected that the sect leader and Ji Yaocen were playing a game of riddles, and that Ji Yaocen had taken the initiative to come over.
Xu Yuehuai handed a bag to Ji Yaocen, saying, "These are all pills I refined. Don't feel bad about taking them. I have many more. If you really feel embarrassed to accept them, just buy me the medicinal herbs to refine these pills after you get out."
Xu Yuehuai was not good with words in this situation, so she handed what she was holding to Ji Yaocen.
Ji Yaocen did not refuse and accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I will definitely find a lot of herbs for you after I come out."
Ji Yaocen has clearly accepted her new identity perfectly. Compared to others who are not yet able to adapt well to this identity, she is a breath of fresh air.
Ming Qing had nothing to say, watching Ji Yaocen step into the dark room. Before she went in, she stopped Ji Yaocen, saying, "I have something for you."
"These are all the useful pills I have. Here, take them all. Don't get too badly injured. Senior Sister and I will be waiting for you outside." Ming Qing had been looking down, seemingly lost in thought, and spoke again in this way.
Ji Yaocen smiled with relief and patted her head.
He resolutely walked into the dark room.
...
Meanwhile, after Brother Pu brought Ji Yuanchi back to the house, Ji Yuanchi did not wake up. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her lips had turned from red to purple, which was a sign of poisoning. The silver needle was poisoned!
Pu Erge had a very clear view of how Xu Tian made his move from that angle. His eyes darkened, and he immediately went out of the room, wanting to find Fu Ziyi and the others for help. But then he suddenly remembered that they weren't there; they were still at the competition venue.
Almost everyone in the sect was at the competition. Pu Erge returned to his room and used the pills Xu Yuehuai had given him to suppress the development of toxins in Ji Yuanchi's body.
Ji Yuan slowly woke up, and Pu Erge anxiously asked from the side, "How are you? Do you feel any better?"
Ji Yuanchi looked at the anxious man in front of him. He was always very calm. No matter what happened, even if he was injured, he would not blink an eye. But this time, Ji Yuanchi's situation really frightened him.
Ji Yuanchi opened her mouth and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Ji Yuanchi was unaware of how pale she looked. Pu Erge held her hand, his eyes slightly red, "Wait here for your second brother. Your second brother will go find Yueyue to save you. Hang in there!"
After saying that, Pu Erge turned to leave. Ji Yuanchi tried to stop him from behind. She didn't want Pu Erge to go to Xu Yuehuai. She had a strange feeling in her heart, but she just didn't want him to go.
But these words did not reach Pu Erge's ears; she was too weak and spoke very softly.
