“The matter of Xuhua Valley, which Mu Ze and I went to, has also been resolved,” Yu Qiqi replied. “Elder Zhufeng led people to intimidate the other forces, and they haven’t returned yet, but the problem shouldn’t be too serious.”
"These minor and middle-tier forces that want to take a share of the pie are not worth worrying about now. Eliminating a few troublemaking forces will be enough to deter them for a while."
"The most troublesome thing now is the upper class. The number of disciples of the Illusionary Concealment Sect is increasing, and their strength is not weak."
"The disciples' strength is comparable to that of upper-class forces, or even top-class forces. The only drawback is that the Illusionary Concealment Sect has very few top experts."
The number of powerful individuals on the cultivation continent is not large to begin with, as most of them have already been recruited by the major forces that have stood on the continent for many years.
The remaining powerful experts either had concerns or chose to live in seclusion, avoiding involvement in the struggles between factions.
The Illusionary Concealment Sect has no more than five pseudo-immortal realm experts at most, which is more than enough to deal with a top-tier power.
However, if one is dealing with multiple powerful forces, one will inevitably be unable to attend to all of them and will be overwhelmed with their own problems.
Moreover, the Illusionary Hidden Sect's goal is to become a top-tier power, which requires an absolute powerhouse to maintain its dominance.
After the Twilight Thunder Sect was destroyed, its cultivation resources went to the Illusionary Concealment Sect. Such a big thing could not be kept secret.
Furthermore, the fact that the Illusionary Hidden Sect also possesses medicinal beasts has made it an increasingly target of public criticism.
Even many upper-class forces couldn't resist the immense temptation of medicinal beasts and top-tier cultivation resources, and wanted to take action against the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
Thinking about the issue of top experts, Yu Qiqi and Luo Wanyin couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong? Why are Elder Yu and Elder Luo looking so worried?" A familiar voice with a smile came from outside.
Then Ruan Xiyan, dressed in men's clothing, walked in.
"Sister Yan, you're back." Yu Qiqi rushed to Ruan Xiyan's side, her eyes sparkling as she stared at her outfit.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! Sister Yan! You look so cool in this outfit, it's almost enough to make me gay!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan was both amused and exasperated, "You're exaggerating too much."
Yu Qiqi immediately looked at Luo Wanyin, "If you don't believe me, ask Wanwan."
Luo Wanyin stepped forward with a smile, "Qiqi is right, Xiyan, your men's attire is absolutely stunning. You are as elegant as a gentleman, unparalleled in the world. I wonder how many female disciples in the sect you will be captivated by."
Seeing Ruan Xiyan return, their worries vanished instantly, the weight on their hearts lifted, and they even had the mood to tease and joke with each other.
Ruan Xiyan touched the tip of her nose. No wonder the disciples in the sect kept casting strange glances at her when she was walking through the sect earlier.
The female disciples, in particular, were glued to her. She thought they didn't recognize her anymore because she had been gone for a while.
"Hey hey hey! What I said came true." Yu Qiqi looked towards the door.
There were many female disciples lingering at the entrance of the main hall, frequently peeking inside.
There are also those who, under the guise of sweeping, almost plastered on the front door, repeatedly wipe the same spot under their hands with a rag.
His eyes, however, drifted to Ruan Xiyan, who was standing there, and noticed that the spot he was wiping was now gleaming.
Normally, the disciples would not want to do this kind of sweeping work, but now they are scrambling to do it just to catch a glimpse of Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan hadn't expected her men's clothing to cause such a stir. She sighed and said, "Never mind, I'll change back into women's clothes first."
She turned around to change her clothes when she saw Lin Muze squeezing in from the crowd.
"What are you all doing gathered here? Aren't you going to cultivate?" Lin Muze muttered, then turned his head and saw Ruan Xiyan.
"Damn it! My eyes are blind! Sister Yan... oops, no, shouldn't I be calling you Brother Yan now?!"
No wonder these disciples are all gathered here with infatuated expressions; now I know why.
And what he saw was his own soft, cuddly wife happily hugging Ruan Xiyan, not even glancing at him as he approached.
Lin Muze looked at Ruan Xiyan with a mournful gaze, "Sister Yan, are you trying to kill us? You were already stunningly beautiful as a woman, but now you're dressed as a man, which is absolutely outrageous."
Ruan Xiyan's lips twitched. Was this a compliment or an insult?
"Sister Yan, please leave some room for the male disciples of the sect. There are more male disciples than female disciples in the sect, and they are all a bunch of single dogs."
"With what you've done, Sister Yan, the female disciples have become even more picky. The number of single people will only increase."
Lin Muze subtly pulled Yu Qiqi back to his side, afraid that his wife would leave him and run into Sister Yan's arms.
If any male disciple in the sect heard Lin Muze's words, they would surely be moved to tears.
Elder Lin understood their bitterness best. There were so few female disciples in the sect, and there were already too many people and not enough women. Now, a female sect leader disguised as a man had come and was competing with them. It was really going to be the death of them.
"For the sake of the male disciples' future happiness, Sister Yan, you should try to wear men's clothing less often in the sect."
Hearing Lin Muze's accusations against her, Ruan Xiyan's eyelids twitched. "Is it really that serious? I was just in a hurry to get back to the Illusionary Hidden Sect and didn't have time to change it back. I'll go change it right away."
"Why are you pulling me?" Yu Qiqi glared at Lin Muze, who was pulling her, in confusion. When she heard that Ruan Xiyan was going to change her clothes, she quickly said, "Sister Yan, let me take another look."
"Sister Yan is so handsome, I want to look at her more. She's so pleasing to the eye. I'll go with Sister Yan to change her clothes."
