Lu Li and Shushu were among the last to arrive. By the time they arrived, almost all the senior disciples from the peaks, except those who were not in the sect, had already arrived.
Therefore, as soon as the two of them came in, the human-shaped baby Shushu instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. If Lu Li hadn't deliberately unleashed his full aura, they would have all rushed up to snatch the baby away.
Even though everyone was hesitant to come over and take the sweet potato away because of Lu Li's powerful aura, they could still make jokes and banter.
So, the senior students exchanged a knowing glance and started talking to Shushu frequently, one after another, without leaving Shushu out for even a moment.
During this time, Xu Ruoyun and Fu Ziang were eager to take away the sweet potato several times, but Gu Borong suppressed them, and the two of them did not actually take action.
Seeing this, Lu Li quietly lowered his hand, which he had been raising, and continued to protect the baby in his arms, preventing her from moving around and falling.
He even managed to give Gu Borong an appreciative look when Xu Ruoyun and Fu Ziang weren't looking, leaving the other junior brothers and sisters present speechless.
They wanted to say something, but it seemed unnecessary. Besides, they couldn't beat those two ruthless guys, so they simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, acting as if they hadn't seen anything.
But when it comes to talking to millet and potatoes, they don't miss a single word.
Even if you can't hold a baby, you can still hear the soft, sweet voice of a baby.
As for Shushu, she didn't notice the flirting between her two senior brothers, because her attention was completely drawn to her senior brothers and sisters, and she was earnestly answering their questions one by one.
It's fortunate that he's a cultivator; otherwise, a baby talking so much would surely strain his voice.
Of course, the splits are something that can't happen to a potato.
After estimating that Shushu had been talking for a while, Lu Li took the initiative to pick up the conversation and handed Shushu a milk fruit to stop everyone from letting Shushu speak.
Shushu has almost no resistance to milk fruit, and since it was Lu Li, whom she trusts the most, who gave her the milk fruit, she drank it without any hesitation.
While drinking, she happily squinted her eyes and swung her two little feet around.
That soft, adorable little face—any person, no, even an animal, could feel her joy.
So, the senior students present didn't even need to look at each other; they all rushed to rummage through their storage rings to find things to feed the cute little taro.
What was originally a chat competition has turned into a feeding competition.
Shushu also liked her senior brothers and sisters very much. When she noticed that they were all looking at her expectantly, she felt embarrassed to refuse and accepted them all.
After thinking for a moment, she stretched out her free little hand, ready to shake hands with them one by one.
Unexpectedly, when everyone saw this tender, white hand, shaped like a lotus root with little chubby dimples, their eyes lit up like wolves eyeing meat.
The sight of this made Shushu shudder and shiver, inexplicably feeling as if his hand was about to be lost.
She wanted to back out, but since she had already said it, and didn't want to disappoint everyone, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.
Then, as a result of her being soft-hearted, she watched as her senior classmates started lining up to shake her hand, and not just once.
For some reason, Lu Li, seeing Shushu's lifeless expression, only cared that no one would take the baby away, and didn't care at all how everyone held her little hands.
Therefore, when Liu Yu led a group of peak masters in, what he saw was Shushu's professional smile and the disciples lining up to shake hands.
The two naive senior brothers, Xiong Yan and Chongming, thought that Shushu's little hands had some kind of magic.
They disregarded their dignity as master and peak master and tried to join the queue to shake hands, but Hu Heng stopped them in time, preventing them from actually getting to the front of the line.
With these commotions, everyone still queuing inside noticed that their master and senior uncles had arrived, and they all stood up to pay their respects.
The handshake activity was thus forced to stop, and although everyone was somewhat reluctant to leave, they all behaved themselves.
Sitting at the head of the table, Liu Yu and several peak masters naturally noticed the expressions of everyone below. Although they were somewhat puzzled, they did not ask any questions and went straight to the main topic of why everyone had been gathered together.
That is, the various arrangements for the upcoming power ranking competition.
Actually, the arrangements are mostly complete; now it's time for supplementary arrangements.
Especially for those who stayed behind in the sect, the Flowing Moon Sect was the key to exposing the Demon Clan's major incident this year.
To prevent any slip-throughs from causing trouble, Liu Yu was extremely cautious.
Once the participants leave the sect, Shan Ling, Xiong Yan, and Hu Heng, who are responsible for staying behind, will lead their disciples into a state of high alert, ready to guard against any unexpected events or enemy attacks.
If necessary, they can even directly activate the sect's grand formation, or temporarily retreat to the sect's secret realm.
As for the participants, as in previous years, Liu Yu will definitely be present, and Liu Ying and Chong Ming will also accompany the team to protect everyone.
Next up are Lu Li and his fellow disciples, as well as one direct disciple and two nominal disciples from each peak.
There was no other way; Liu Yu had the most personal disciples in the entire sect, and they were also the most capable fighters. Apart from Xiao Shushu, the others were all skilled in a particular profession, and they could fill in when needed.
Of course, if the disciples from the other peaks don't get into trouble, these few will definitely not go into battle.
After that, the best disciples were selected from both the inner and outer sects. Liu Ying already had a detailed list of who would participate and who would be on the waiting list, and they were just waiting for the competition to begin.
The power ranking competition is held in Star City, the largest city on the Rainy Continent and its central city.
Star City is adjacent to the Heavenly Silkworm Temple, but it does not belong to the Heavenly Silkworm Temple. It is also located in the middle of the East and West continents, and it is even farther from the Flowing Moon Sect than from the Heavenly Silkworm Temple.
To ensure they can arrive on time and participate in the competition, they plan to depart early, which means tomorrow.
After reviewing all the arrangements one last time and confirming that there were no further mistakes, Liu Yu dismissed everyone.
As for Shushu, she had spent a lot of money on things before, so she didn't need to participate in this power ranking competition.
But she still dragged Lu Li along, and together they went to the affairs hall to exchange for a lot of things, and at the same time handed over some resources that she had forgotten about during this busy period.
With both contributions coming in and out, Shushu not only didn't spend a single contribution point, but also gained a large sum of money. When the disciples of the Affairs Hall informed her of the result, Shushu was briefly stunned.
However, it was only for a moment. She quickly returned to normal, happily left with her storage ring now full, and looked forward to setting off the next day.
