The competition ended, and Song Ling and Yue Yaojie were about to leave when two figures suddenly blocked their path.

“You are Zhaoming Di Ji, Shen Shaohua?”

The speaker was a young man, around twenty years old, dressed in a true disciple’s uniform. He had a stern expression and looked at Song Ling with a hint of disgust and scrutiny.

Song Ling didn’t recognize this young man, but he had seen the young boy next to him. A few days ago, at the sect entry ceremony, this boy was accepted as a disciple by Xue Chenfeng. So, the young man standing with him must also be Xue Chenfeng’s disciple.

Song Ling pretended to know nothing and asked doubtfully, “I am Shen Shaohua. Senior Brother, who are you?”

“I am Gong Bo, the fourth disciple of Elder Xue Chenfeng. Zhaoyang Di Ji, it was my master who discovered your extraordinary talent. If it weren’t for him, you might have been sent away as a tool for a marriage alliance between two nations. Where would you have had the chance to embark on the path of immortality?”

“He originally thought that once you joined the Purple Radiance Sect, you would definitely become his disciple. I never expected that you would betray him for an-grade spiritual root and become Elder Bai’s disciple. It’s utterly disappointing!”

Gong Bo’s tone was full of dissatisfaction and contempt, as if Song Ling’s actions were a great insult to his master, Xue Chenfeng.

“Senior Brother Gong, did you stop me just to say these things?” Song Ling lowered her eyes.

“I want you to kneel and kowtow in the direction of my master’s cave dwelling to admit your mistake!” Gong Bo raised his chin slightly, looking down at Song Ling.

Song Ling’s face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly. “Senior Brother Gong, I…”

Yue Yaojie, who was standing by, couldn’t bear it anymore. He frowned and said,

“Senior Brother Gong, don’t go too far. It’s Shaohua’s freedom to choose who she wants to be her master. How can she—”

Before Yue Yaojie could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Gong Bo’s reprimand:

“Shut up, I’m not talking to you!”

As he spoke, Gong Bo’s Qi Refinement Stage Level 4 cultivation fluctuations spread out, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped Yue Yaojie, making him involuntarily take a step back.

Yue Yaojie’s expression was grim. His cultivation was Qi Refinement Stage Level 3, seemingly only one level lower, but it was actually the difference between the early and middle stages of Qi Refinement. He was not his opponent.

“Shen Shaohua, if you don’t want to be too embarrassed in public, do as I say. It’s not a too shameful thing to kowtow and admit your mistake to a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator. Otherwise, I will make you a hundred times more embarrassed!” Gong Bo said indifferently.

While the few of them were talking, the commotion here also attracted the attention of the surrounding audience who had not yet dispersed, including Kuang Wan and Tao Zhibin who had left the Resentment Platform. They glanced over but quickly withdrew their gaze.

This level of dispute was not worth their attention.

Song Ling lowered her head, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Although the Purple Radiance Sect forbade disciples from killing each other, if it was just an ordinary conflict that didn’t result in death, they generally wouldn’t interfere. So, it seemed he had to endure this humiliation today…

Just then, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind Song Ling: “Gong Bo, is bullying a newly initiated junior sister your only skill?”

Song Ling turned around and saw Third Senior Brother Jian Yunyi slowly walking over and standing in front of him.

“Jian Yunyi?”

Seeing Jian Yunyi arrive, Gong Bo’s expression changed.

“Even if Shen Shaohua has many faults, she is still my junior sister, and it’s not up to an outsider like you to bully her,” Jian Yunyi said with a cold expression.

“Jian Yunyi, I am disciplining Shen Shaohua, this ungrateful wretch, on behalf of my master. It has nothing to do with you,” Gong Bo said, steeling himself, but his momentum was clearly much weaker than before.

Jian Yunyi said with a hint of impatience, “I said, no matter what, she is my junior sister, and it’s not up to an outsider like you to humiliate her. Don’t you understand?”

With that, he released his aura, pressing down on Gong Bo!

“You actually broke through to Level 6?!”

Gong Bo found it hard to accept for a moment. He and Jian Yunyi used to be evenly matched opponents, but then he was surpassed. Recently, he had been gathering his strength, preparing to break through to Qi Refinement Stage Level 5 to catch up, but he never expected… the other party had already broken through to Level 6!

Jian Yunyi didn’t speak, just looked coldly at Gong Bo.

“…Let’s go.”

Gong Bo looked unwilling, motioning for the young boy beside him to leave. But after only two steps, he turned back and said to Song Ling, “Shen Shaohua, in the initial examination three months from now, my junior brother will defeat you and let you know how wrong your choice was!”

With that, he didn’t linger any longer and left directly.

After Gong Bo had walked far away, Jian Yunyi turned around and looked down at Song Ling. His height, nearly 1.9 meters, made Song Ling’s slender figure appear exceptionally petite.

Jian Yunyi said slowly:

“Knowing that you’re not well-liked, you should cultivate diligently. If you don’t have enough strength, you should avoid causing trouble.”

“Third Senior Brother, it’s not like that. I was the one who invited Junior Sister out—”

Yue Yaojie quickly explained, but was interrupted by Jian Yunyi: “And you, after all this time, you still haven’t cultivated the ‘Mist Mountain Art’ to perfection. Have you learned all four pseudo-techniques that come with it, just to come and watch the fun?”

“Uh…” Yue Yaojie chuckled, not daring to speak.

“Hurry back. Regardless of whether your past deeds are true or false, they have already spread throughout the sect under the instigation of those with ulterior motives. Many people dislike you. Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

After Jian Yunyi finished speaking, he strode away.

“Oh, Senior Brother Jian, although his words aren’t pleasant, he’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Junior Sister, don’t take it to heart… Oh, Junior Sister, why are you crying?”

Yue Yaojie turned to look at Song Ling and saw that the girl had shed two lines of clear tears at some point.

“Sixth Senior Brother, am I really that annoying?”

Song Ling’s eyes were red, and her voice was desolate.

“No, that’s all a misunderstanding. Junior Sister, you’re so beautiful, how could anyone dislike you?” Yue Yaojie was a bit flustered. He had no experience dealing with a crying girl.

“Really?” Song Ling’s eyes were tearful.

“Really!” Yue Yaojie nodded affirmatively.

“Then Senior Brother, would you be willing to lend me some spirit stones?”

“Of course… huh?”

…

Bamboo Forest Courtyard.

Song Ling sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the five spirit stones in front of him, a faint smile on his face.

After some feigned weakness and pitiful acting, Yue Yaojie finally, with great heartache, agreed to lend him the spirit stones.

“These spirit stones are enough for me to get started with the ‘Grand Clarity Cavernous Profound Art’!”

Song Ling took a deep breath, eager to circulate the ‘Grand Clarity Cavernous Profound Art,’ once again fully immersing himself in cultivation!

A day passed in the blink of an eye. As the third spirit stone was consumed, Song Ling suddenly opened his eyes.

‘Grand Clarity Cavernous Profound Art’, initiated!

Song Ling excitedly summoned the panel, but a prompt that popped up on the panel made him freeze.

[Detecting that host has mastered high-level power, panel upgrading, please wait…]

These past two days… Qingling’s mental state hasn’t been very good again. Sigh, it keeps repeating.
