"Hey, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you having a big meeting here?"
As soon as they stepped out of the bamboo forest, they saw Xi Zhen and the others standing outside.
When they came out, Sheng Ning saw that they were all looking at her with excited expressions... behind her.
She turned around to look at Qin Chuan behind her, and before she could finish speaking, she was shoved hard.
Fortunately, she was stable enough; otherwise, with the cultivation level of the instigator Xi Zhen, her small body could easily have been pushed to pieces.
Seeing a group of people rushing towards Qin Chuan, Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow and stood next to Su Daiyuan and the other person.
She nudged Qi Wenyao with her elbow and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Qi, how about we make a bet?"
Qi Wenyao was still watching to see what kind of trouble the disciples of the Taixu Sect were up to this time.
Suddenly, he heard a voice beside him. He looked down and met the voice's gaze. "What are you betting on?"
"I'll bet five hundred high-grade spirit stones that those idiots from the Taixu Sect will think that the person who advanced in the formation just now wasn't me, but Qin Chuan."
Qi Wenyao blinked and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. You just advanced to the next level, and your spiritual energy is overflowing."
"These people may not be very bright, but they are still cultivators. Can't they sense the abundant spiritual energy within you?"
Sheng Ning listened to his words and sighed inwardly at how well the Qi family had protected him.
"Just tell me if you're going to bet or not. You're the young master of the Qi family, you don't even have five hundred high-grade spirit stones, do you?"
Qi Wenyao is most susceptible to being provoked.
When he heard Sheng Ning say that he didn't dare to bet with her, his temper flared up immediately.
He pulled out his mustard seed bag and slapped it into her hand. He said angrily, "Let's gamble. I have a thousand high-grade spirit stones here. If you lose, you have to pay me double."
Sheng Ning opened the bag and looked at the number of spirit stones inside.
With a smile playing on her lips, she glanced at the Taixu Sect disciples who had completely surrounded Qin Chuan not far away, and a wide smile spread across her face.
"make a deal!"
The atmosphere here is different from that here in Shengning.
Xi Zhen and the others, who had surrounded Qin Chuan, were staring at him with excited expressions.
Even though Qin Chuan had said not long ago that he wanted to leave the Taixu Sect and leave with Sheng Ning, it was still a problem.
This wouldn't delay Qin Chuan's advancement, and they were very excited.
"That's great, Senior Brother. The Sect Master has always wanted you to be his successor and to sit in the position of Sect Master of Taixu Sect. Now that you have advanced once again, you must be the strongest among all the direct disciples of the sects."
"Yes, Senior Brother, we know that what you said to Elder Qian was just said in anger. How could someone as good as you leave us?"
"Senior Brother, congratulations on your advancement! Don't leave yet. What's so great about going to a small sect to eat chaff and wild vegetables? It's so much better in the Taixu Sect. You can pick and choose resources at will and live a life of luxury."
"Senior Brother, don't go..."
The noise of a group of people was giving me a headache.
Qin Chuan's scarred face remained expressionless.
Perhaps Xi Zhen and the others were too noisy, for a hint of impatience finally showed on his usually cold and stern face.
"I've already said I'm leaving, and no one can persuade me otherwise."
"I am no longer your senior disciple. Let Elder Qian and the others re-elect a new direct disciple of the Taixu Sect next year."
"Also, I wasn't the one who advanced just now."
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, ignoring the shocked expressions on Xi Zhen and the others' faces, he went straight to Sheng Ning and the other two.
Qi Wenyao stood aside and watched the entire play.
Seeing Xi Zhen and the others fawning over Qin Chuan like lackeys, practically clinging to him, he felt nothing but disgust.
He only realized what was happening after seeing the smile in Sheng Ning's eyes.
His facial features contorted for a moment, and when he saw Xi Zhen and the others looking in his direction, Qi Wenyao spat at them on the spot.
"And they call themselves the head of the four major sects? What are the Taixu Sect's criteria for recruiting disciples? Do they only look at cultivation level and not intelligence?"
"A bunch of tall but brainless bastards, they deserve to end up like this."
Five hundred spirit stones were nothing to Qi Wenyao.
What angered him was that Xi Zhen and the others always acted so brainlessly.
If even the disciples in a sect are like this, how can the Taixu Sect be ranked first among the four major sects?
Not long ago in the Northern Secret Realm, among the people of Dingtian Sect, apart from the brainless Xie Wenxuan, which of the disciples of Dingtian Sect was not more intelligent than the Taixu Sect?
Qi Wenyao's disdainful expression was noticed by Xi Zhen and the others.
For a moment, Xi Zhen and the others, who had just recovered from Qin Chuan's words and were still harboring an impossible thought, were filled with a fierce aura.
"Young Master Qi, don't think we won't touch you just because you're the young master of the Qi family. This isn't the Northern Region, it's the continent. There's no place for you, the young master of the Qi family, to stand here."
"What kind of young master of the Qi family is he? I think he's just a bastard born of a mother but raised without one..."
Qu Zhengqing's words caused the atmosphere around him to freeze instantly.
Qi Wenyao squinted at him for a moment, and then after a while, he curled his lips and smiled slightly at the other man.
"Sorry, I can't hear well. What did you just say? What do you mean by 'born of a mother but not of a mother'? What do you mean by 'I'm a wild child'?"
He asked the question with a smile while picking at his own ear.
Qi Wenyao pushed aside Qin Chuan, who was blocking his way, and came to stand in front of Qu Zhengqing.
Qu Zhengqing, a Golden Core cultivator, could not possibly fight someone of a higher level, let alone Qi Wenyao, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The moment his neck was seized, Qu Zhengqing felt an extraordinary pressure controlling his entire body.
He tried to pry the man's arms off his neck, but his cultivation was too low; trying to overthrow Qi Wenyao was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
As her feet gradually lifted off the ground, Qu Zhengqing stood on tiptoe and looked at Qin Chuan for help.
The latter seemed not to hear, his face still showing that indifferent expression.
Qu Zhengqing took in this scene and felt only gloom.
"By the way, weren't you guys asking about Qin Chuan's advancement? You could ask me too. I was there too, so I saw a lot."
When Qi Wenyao was threatening Qu Zhengqing, the disciples of Taixu Sect still subconsciously looked to Qin Chuan for help.
The former curled his lips into a mocking smile, then looked up at Qin Chuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you really are pathetic."
"At such a young age, they're already acting as both fathers and mothers to so many overgrown children. I really don't know what these 'geniuses' are good at besides being quick-witted?"
"If I kill them now, nothing should happen, right?"
Upon hearing Qi Wenyao's last words, Qu Zhengqing finally felt a genuine sense of panic and fear wash over him.
Just as he was about to despair, a clear voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
