Chapter 529 - 227: The Gentleness of Women! Consecutive Failures! (Dear Readers, Please Support)_3
This world is very simple; once you see through it, that’s how it is.
It all comes down to one sentence: "As long as you don’t hurt others, happiness is most important."
If someone says that suffering is a blessing, that hardship is a form of cultivation, and that life is a damn painful journey, even when your knees are broken you have to keep crawling forward. Then this person certainly hasn’t actually suffered; they’re undoubtedly someone who benefits from the system.
Every single one of them is a crafty old fox.
Yuchi: No matter how many lifetimes I live again, when it comes to beauties, it’s always a tough barrier for me to pass. I, Yuchi, aim to have all female disciples in the Immortal Realm wear short golden skirts; that’s the goal I strive for in this life!
Wow.
What a grand dream.
...
The next morning, the sky over the Immortal Island was beautifully lit with golden hues, and many cultivators were coming from the south and north, with voices bustling everywhere.
The sect competition is ultimately a festivity for a minority of sects; most sects just come to find a venue and do business. And the business, of course, isn’t limited to dealings between men and women; there are many things for sale.
There’s all sorts of miscellaneous stuff, from some commonplace spirit stones to some slightly rare magic tools, then to some Celestial Craft Workshop artifacts, and even some ancient secret manuals, everything is available.
However, Yuchi had no intention of looking unless he was buying some spirit stones or other hard commodities; otherwise, he firmly believed: buying isn’t as wise as selling.
This thought helped him avoid countless pitfalls in past lives.
"Where would you find family? They’re all good brothers who can send money."
Of course, there are moments of finding rare treasures, but it’s not as if he’s the only one who can find them. Really, to say that there’s only one person in the whole world who can see an item as a rare treasure while all passing cultivators are fools is highly unlikely.
"So it’s still the same old saying..." Yuchi looked at Xu Feiling beside him, who was clearly a bit nervous. "Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem. Losing is losing, there’s no loss of face in that."
Sect Leader Senior Brother... Xu Feiling muttered gently, then nodded firmly: "I will give it my all! We can’t let our Ascension Gate lose face!"
Yuchi: "..."
He said it for nothing... He went on in circles yesterday, just to prevent Xu Feiling from putting too much pressure on herself; it’s unnecessary. After all, it’s just the first match; there are plenty of days ahead.
And Xu Feiling had already successfully registered, just waiting for the organizers to announce the specifics of the competition.
...
In the distance, the beautiful Song Yinghan had changed into another dress. Her graceful figure was quietly hidden in the corner of the crowd, stealthily looking in the direction of Yuchi.
She began to observe the situation at the scene carefully.
Yuchi was in a red robe, accompanying his disciple, whispering something to his disciple, but the distance was too far to hear clearly. After Xu Feiling registered, only a stick of incense time passed, and she was already on the stage for the match.
There are many stages for cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Realm. Watching Yuchi leave with his disciple, she immediately followed from afar. In any case, her participation in the sect competition was just for show; to really fight?
No need.
Observing the performance of the Ascension Gate disciples is most important since she is now a member of the Ascension Gate. According to Yuchi, Song Yinghan is now the youngest sister disciple.
And a little sister must naturally care about her elder sisters’ performances; after all, we’re all in the same boat.
"Go, Feiling!" cheered Song the beautiful one in her heart.
Upon reaching the scene, after seeing the person on stage, her mood instantly tensed.
"That’s the New Grand Sect!"
The New Grand Sect!
Yuchi knew this. He had learned when gathering information beforehand. The Purple Gold Sect is first a very powerful sect, renowned in the third state. However, it seems the New Grand Sect poached the elders of the Purple Gold Sect, directly bringing them into their own sect. Originally very powerful, the New Grand Sect was already ranked forty-seventh!
This has led the New Grand Sect to become a seed contestant in many people’s minds and a very competitive sect in this sect competition.
Unexpectedly, the Ascension Gate faced off against the New Grand Sect!
"It’s not usually this difficult; this is truly difficult."
"Second Senior Sister might have some tough times ahead..."
"Hope she’s alright."
Song Yinghan clasped her hands together, quietly praying.
...
On the scene.
Yuchi stood beside Xu Feiling, having learned about the situation from other sect leaders and disciples.
The situation was quite peculiar; indeed, the opponent was a disciple from the New Grand Sect. But besides this disciple, none of their disciples or sect leaders came to watch; this isn’t because they neglected their disciple but because the New Grand Sect’s leaders had gone to watch higher-level cultivators’ matches.
"Amazing, New Grand Sect; you don’t need to worry about the young disciples’ affairs. Losing or winning doesn’t affect much."
This relates to the sect competition’s rules.
If young disciples’ sects win, the points they earn are comparatively low. For example, if little Qinghan won three matches consecutively, earning one point per match, then the Ascension Gate would have three points. But if Miss Shanlan won three matches consecutively, it wouldn’t be three points; perhaps it would be thirty points. Of course, if Shanlan lost three matches in succession, it could be negative thirty points.
