In fact, among these people, Xu Xingzhi was neither outstanding in terms of talent nor status.
In this demon-slaying team, he appeared to be in charge of everything, seemingly the one who coordinated the overall situation and led everyone.
But in reality, he's just someone who manages miscellaneous tasks.
Anyone present could easily dismiss him.
Otherwise, in the original story, after Xu Xingzhi's attempt to take advantage of Yun Qin failed, Song Tianyu wouldn't have acted without any hesitation and killed him with a single sword strike.
When Xu Xingzhi saw Rong Zi and the others arrive, he immediately got up and went to greet them.
"Everyone, let me introduce you to these new members who have joined our core team."
He introduced, "This is Miss Shen, whom I'm sure you all know. She is the chief disciple of the Shuiyuan Sect. This is her junior brother, Fellow Daoist Zhu Haohao."
"And this person is Qi Yufei, the young master of Lingyi Valley. As for this fellow Daoist, he is Ling Erbai, the eldest disciple of Rongling Sect, who has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at a young age."
"From now on, they will all be members of our core team. I hope everyone can work together to defeat that great demon Ling Mo!"
Xu Xingzhi introduced all four of them one by one.
But Rong Zi was not mentioned at all.
It's obvious... this was done on purpose!
Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Rong Zi, Xi Ling'er, who was sitting to the side, suddenly frowned and asked Xu Xingzhi a question.
"Xu Xingzhi, when did your eyesight become impaired?"
Xu Xingzhi was taken aback. "Huh?"
Xi Ling'er pointed in Rong Zi's direction and said, "There are five of them, but you only introduced four. Didn't you see the other one?"
She possesses a naturally alluring figure, coupled with an incomparably beautiful face; even the simplest gesture of hers inexplicably draws attention and draws stares.
Xu Xingzhi was caught off guard by Xi Ling'er's words.
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hand, explaining, "Of course not, I just..."
"So you saw it?" Xi Ling'er interrupted him.
Leaning languidly against the armrest of the chair, she rested her chin on one hand and asked another question with a slight raised eyebrow.
"Why didn't you introduce her to someone you saw? Did she offend you?"
Xu Xingzhi was speechless: "..."
Rong Zi watched the scene before him with great interest, then suddenly sniffed and lowered his eyes with a forlorn expression.
She said sadly, "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Xu is too arrogant and looks down on a nobody like me who's only at the Qi Refining stage? After all, he's at the Golden Core stage!"
She even deliberately raised her voice slightly when she said the last sentence.
The moment these words were spoken, the situation instantly reversed.
All eyes in the room fell on Xu Xingzhi.
It's important to know that before Rong Zi arrived, Xu Xingzhi was the least talented member of the entire core team.
Before anyone else could say anything, he was already looking down on them...
This behavior is truly despicable.
Xu Xingzhi deliberately didn't introduce Rong Zi, intending to embarrass her and make her lose face in front of so many people.
But who could have imagined that Xi Ling'er would suddenly appear and cause trouble?!
Thinking of this, Xu Xingzhi gave Xi Ling'er a deep, brooding look.
However, the other person casually lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, without even glancing at him.
Xu Xingzhi: "..."
Rong Zi witnessed the interaction between the two of them.
She narrowed her eyes subtly.
Xi Ling'er's attitude towards Xu Xingzhi seems a little different from what she imagined.
There were many people yesterday, and she didn't see the two of them interact much, so she didn't know much about their relationship.
However, isn't Xu Xingzhi Xi Ling'er's sweetheart?
How could she embarrass him in public and make him lose face?
It seems she needs to find some time to look into this matter in detail...
Xu Xingzhi felt extremely uncomfortable under everyone's gaze.
He tried to calm himself down, then turned to look at Rong Zi and spoke with a forced smile.
“Miss Rong, you’re wronging me. You’re just a Qi Refining stage cultivator, yet you’ve entered this core team that only those with Golden Core stage or higher cultivation can join. You haven’t felt ashamed at all, nor have you offered to quit. I admire your strong will. How could I possibly look down on you?”
Rong Zi tilted her head and smiled brightly.
"Really? I also think I have a pretty good temperament, thank you for the compliment~"
Xu Xingzhi: "..."
Is this girl really that shameless?
From which sentence did she realize he was praising her?!
Seeing that Xu Xingzhi's face had turned red with anger and his lips had been moving for a long time without uttering a single word, Rong Zi's smile widened.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xu is unwilling to introduce me, then let me introduce myself."
Rong Zi strode cheerfully to the top of the council hall.
She stood there, adopting the posture of a leader giving a routine speech, and cleared her throat in a serious manner, "Ahem... Let me formally introduce myself to everyone here. My name is Rong Zi, and I come from Rongling Sect. I see that many of you here are familiar faces, so you must all know me."
As she spoke, Rong Zi smiled and waved to everyone.
Hello everyone, long time no see!
Everyone: "..."
Don't we know each other?
Anyone who has seen Rong Zi, that unfortunate fellow, will probably never forget him.
Back in the Junmang Mountain secret realm, she, the sixth sister, practically emptied everyone's spatial rings...
Rong Zi expressed great satisfaction with everyone's reaction.
Sure enough, a girl as lovable as her, so charming and captivating, is unforgettable to anyone who sees her.
Rong Zi noticed a particularly strong gaze among those looking at him.
She followed that gaze and a familiar face came into view.
Rong Zi greeted the other person very warmly.
"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Qin? By the way, did you get your tooth fixed? If not, you can come find me anytime. I have a special secret method that can make your teeth grow stronger than before, and they definitely won't break from a single blow like they used to!"
Qin Ziteng was so angry that his hands, which were resting on the table, were trembling.
He glared angrily at Rong Zi, "You..."
Before Qin Ziteng could finish speaking, Rong Zi waved to him with an understanding and generous demeanor.
"Oh, don't be so polite. There's no need to thank me. After all, we've known each other for a while now, and this little favor is nothing. Don't feel pressured."
Qin Ziteng: "..."
No need to thank me, you son of a bitch!
Don't put too much pressure on yourself?
Does this unlucky thing have some misunderstanding about its own position?
Who should thank her?
How dare she!
