Nan Yi hastily raised his eyes and saw a figure he knew very well standing behind the door.
"Senior sister..."
"How is it? How do you feel?" Chu Li asked with a smile in her eyes, looking intently at her junior brother.
After his senior sister told him those words, Nan Yi went back and thought about it carefully. In the following days, he also kept observing the behavior of the two people and found that they were no longer the people he used to know.
He had planned to make a decision in the next few days, but those people actually wanted to directly bother his senior sister—this behavior made him no longer hesitate about his decision.
My senior sister is right. They are no longer the same people they used to be, and they must give up what needs to be given up in time.
But then again, I wonder if they said anything they shouldn't have at the door, since my senior sister could hear everything.
While answering his senior sister, he secretly glanced at her expression, but found that her expression was indifferent and he could not tell her true emotions at all.
"Senior sister, if they said anything offensive, they should apologize to you."
Chu Li glanced at him, as if she could see through his hidden thoughts, and smiled faintly: "That's what they did, what does it have to do with you?"
Hearing Chu Li's words, Nan Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his lips: "It's still my fault. They were my friends before, and I was the one who let them in."
Chu Li neither agreed nor disagreed with what Nan Yi said, but only added a reminder: "You might as well go into seclusion for a while. The sect competition is in half a year, and the rewards for the competition are quite good."
Although the competition is mainly for ranking the strength between sects, individuals who achieve top rankings will still receive generous rewards, which are much more lucrative than those in the internal competition of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
Nan Yi nodded, her eyes brightening slightly: "Then, Senior Sister, will you come to watch my competition this time?"
Chu Li met Nan Yi's expectant eyes and couldn't bring herself to refuse—of course, she had been considering this matter herself. After a moment's thought, she gave a vague answer: "I'll most likely go, but we'll have to see how it goes then."
Nan Yi received an answer that wasn't exactly a promise, but he wasn't too disappointed. He knew that what his senior sister said was probably true; she would go together unless there was something urgent. She never made empty promises.
He turned and hurriedly returned to his residence, where he went into seclusion.
Chu Li watched his hurried retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle. She hadn't expected that her junior brother would trust her advice so much.
In the past, although he enjoyed cultivation, he had never done this before.
During his seclusion, Nan Yi tried his best to improve his strength, but perhaps due to the limitation that he could only have one tail, his cultivation was unable to completely break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Having no other option, he turned to another direction and began to study a field, especially the many fields that his senior had prepared for him that were suitable for him to explore.
He wasn't like that little blue phoenix, who couldn't understand his own abilities and insisted on learning things in an unsuitable field...
Forcing things too much will only waste time.
Such a thought vaguely crossed his mind, but he then continued to immerse himself in the realm of enlightenment.
The time for the sect competition is getting closer and closer, and the Myriad Manifestations Sect is also getting more lively.
All the disciples who went out to compete represented the Myriad Manifestations Sect. As a result, many disciples who were not selected were "selling" their magical treasures, trying to sell them to other disciples who were going out to compete at a "friendly price".
“Junior brother, please wait a moment. I think your domain is very suitable for my fan. Since we are so destined, I would like to sell it to you for ten high-grade spirit stones.”
"Pah! You're so greedy! This broken fan wouldn't even cost this much outside."
"This isn't just any ordinary fan..."
"Junior sister, I'll lend you this magic weapon of mine for now. Isn't it just what you need that type of artifact?"
"Exactly! I've been having this problem lately, thank you so much, senior sister!"
The sounds from all directions drifted away on the wind, swaying and carrying into the distance.
The sect leader stood on the eaves of the Wuxiang Hall, looking at the scene before him, and couldn't help but sigh.
She watched the sect rise to prominence and grow to its current state.
Even though the title of the Myriad Manifestations Sect has changed, its core essence remains unchanged; it is still a place for teaching the Dao.
All the disciples have gathered here to study their respective fields, and in a few days, they will fight for the honor of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
"Why does the sect leader sigh?" The woman beside him spoke slowly, her gaze fixed on something in the distance, as if she were looking at something, yet seemingly seeing nothing at all.
"Of course, it's an amazing achievement that the Myriad Manifestations Sect has reached this level. Back in the day..."
The sect leader intended to recount a story from the past, but then remembered the original identity of the person before him, and the words he was about to say stopped abruptly. He awkwardly changed the subject, asking, "What brings you here this time?"
"It's nothing serious, but I'd like to go with them for the sect competition in a few days."
Upon hearing Chu Li's words, the sect leader was momentarily stunned. There were already three team leaders for this competition, so why did she also want to go?
Perhaps the sect leader's surprise was too obvious, so Chu Li subconsciously explained, "I promised my junior brother that I would go watch his match."
The sect leader paused for a moment before realizing that the junior brother she was referring to was Nan Yi. Ever since she stopped taking Wen Xiangluan under her wing, the term "junior brother" had become a specific noun, referring only to that one person.
It took the sect leader a while to find his voice, "Go if you want to..."
She absolutely refused to admit that she was jealous again! When had their master ever taken such good care of them? He hadn't done it before, and he certainly wouldn't now. And they, being self-aware, would never make such a somewhat impolite request of their master.
She had to admit that the fox's methods were truly remarkable, and she had no reason to stop her master.
As her emotions gradually calmed down, she discovered another heartbreaking fact: she seemed to have begun to accept the reality of her master's kindness towards Nan Yi. No, she had to tell Lu Qianfeng and Lu Qianling about this so that they could also experience it, and so that they wouldn't have nothing to do all day in the sect.
When Chu Li returned, she was in a good mood and happened to run into Nan Yi who had just emerged from seclusion. She briefly mentioned the matter, and Nan Yi's eyes immediately lit up. Upon learning that they had to set off immediately the next day—after all, it would take several days to get from the Myriad Manifestations Sect to the competition venue—he immediately turned around and began packing his things.
The next day, a huge spirit ship landed on a flat, level ground in the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
All the disciples who were going to participate in the sect competition were already fully prepared and stood in front of the spirit boat.
Besides these disciples, there were also some elders leading the teams and some disciples with higher cultivation levels, and Chu Li was also among them.
Without much conversation, the elders boarded the spirit boat first, followed by the other disciples who boarded in order.
This is a common practice within the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Whenever a large number of disciples are going out together, there's no need for formalities; this actually makes it easier for the disciples to face everything with ease.
Even now, many disciples are still chatting excitedly with those around them, and there is no sign of seriousness in the entire group, as if they are just going out for a trip.
"Sigh, is this really okay?"
An elder walked ahead, and couldn't help but look back at his very active disciples.
He didn't stay in the Myriad Manifestations Sect for very long. He only joined as an elder later because he became interested in the domain, so he didn't experience many major events.
Seeing his disciples laughing and joking, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Alright, what's there to worry about?" Another elder next to her smiled. She had been to the Myriad Manifestations Sect for quite some time and had risen through the ranks from disciple to elder. She was used to this kind of situation. "Actually, it doesn't matter if we don't maintain the sect's ranking. Our master's original intention was never to focus on so-called first- or second-rate sects."
First-rate and second-rate sects are just worldly judgments; the ancestor didn't care about that at all, and that was never her original intention.
However, the distinction between first-rate and second-rate sects also affects the allocation of some resources. The elder seemed to want to say something, but then he remembered the most solid backer of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, who was also the founder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and so he kept his mouth shut.
That's true. As long as that person is there, the Myriad Manifestations Sect will never fall.
It's a pity that he has been in the Myriad Manifestations Sect for some time now, but he has never seen his grandmaster's face.
The last elder came over and joined the conversation: "I've lived in the Myriad Manifestations Sect since I was a child, but I've never seen what my grandmaster looks like. I've only heard that he's always focused on cultivation and rarely pays attention to other things."
The three fell silent, never expecting that none of them had ever seen their grandmaster's true face.
Someone couldn't help but say, "We haven't met them, but the sect leader must have."
"But so what? Given the sect leader's esteemed teacher's appearance, there's no way she would discuss our grandmaster's appearance with us."
The three looked at each other, and finally gave up on this uncertain topic, and started a new one instead.
Not far from them, Chu Li looked at the doors along the corridor, carefully choosing the place she wanted to stay.
The spirit boat was very large, and it generously provided each participant with a private room, while those accompanying the participants, like them, had their rooms at the very front of the boat.
There were no restrictions on who would stay in the rooms, so everyone could choose any room they wanted. However, there was one rule: the rooms had to be within a designated area. For example, Chu Li was an accompanying person, so she could only choose her room from a designated area and could not choose the rooms of the other participants.
Chu Li's gaze swept across the room one by one, and then settled on one of the doors. That's it.
The elders and their entourage stayed at the front, followed by those in the Nascent Soul stage, Golden Core stage, and so on, with the Foundation Establishment stage relegated to the back of the spirit boat.
Nan Yi tilted his head back slightly, his gaze drifting forward. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment. As other disciples entered the rooms, he casually picked an empty room and went inside.
As night fell, the disciples who had been quite active during the day returned to their rooms, and the entire spirit boat corridor was completely silent.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past in the light and ran straight toward the front of the spirit boat.
The figure moved through the corridor almost silently, and without anyone noticing, he arrived at a door.
It twitched its nose a few times, and after confirming that the scent inside was familiar, it stretched out its paw and patted the door a few times.
