Quick Wear: Heaven Always Favors Me

Chapter 499 Immortal Cultivation: Villainous Master 23

Zong Zhengqing softened his tone, as if the person who had sworn so confidently just now was not him.

Jiang Yao frowned slightly, then looked at Xuanyuan Zihan and asked, "Zihan, do you think your senior sister cheated?"

Xuanyuan Zihan lowered his head in panic after being looked at by Jiang Yao, and then bit his lower lip and said hesitantly:

"Disciple...disciple doesn't know, but if Master says there is none, then there is definitely none."

Jiang Yao remained calm and raised her hand to create a water mirror.

"Since you don't know, let's take a look together."

The last scene on the ring was clearly reflected on the water mirror.

Jiang Yao slowly played out the scene that no one else saw.

During this process, Jiang Yao searched for the presence of the predator's aura, but the predator was hiding very well, and Jiang Yao was completely unable to find any trace of the predator from this flashback.

Those who originally did not see it clearly could not help but marvel at the whole process.

“It’s so exquisite!”

"The fairy Situ reacted so quickly. If it were me, I would probably be thinking of running away."

"Yes, I didn't expect that she would take the sword head-on, and then use the talisman and the magic sword to block all of Fairy Xuanyuan's escape routes."

Those who followed suit and scolded Situ Lanyu for cheating were now silent and their faces flushed red.

Moreover, after the speed of the water mirror slowed down, everyone could see the murderous intent and determination in Xuanyuan Zihan's eyes.

It was clearly a competition between fellow disciples, but in her eyes, the person in front of her seemed not to be a senior sister but an enemy.

This scene made those who wanted to speak up for Xuanyuan Zihan shut up.

Although it is normal to be competitive in order to win, Xuanyuan Zihan seemed to be going a bit too far when Situ Lanyu remained rational and only restricted Xuanyuan Zihan.

The image on the water mirror stayed at the point where Xuanyuan Zihan stabbed the sword into Situ Lanyu's abdomen. Jiang Yao looked at Xuanyuan Zihan with cold eyes and said in a cold tone:

"Your sister took your life into consideration even when they were fighting. She used spells to block your escape route and never hurt you with a sword. But you don't have any camaraderie with your fellow disciples. I am really disappointed."

When Xuanyuan Zihan heard this, his eyes trembled, and he looked up at Jiang Yao in disbelief, then quickly knelt in front of Jiang Yao:

"I deserve to die. I shouldn't have such a strong desire to win. I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Jiang Yao lowered her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Zihan's hair whorls, and said in a cold tone:

"Then go to the Cliff of Repentance and retreat for three months."

Xuanyuan Zihan trembled when he heard the words "Thinking Cliff", but still accepted it: "Yes! Master."

After Jiang Yao saw her accept the offer, she looked at Zong Zhengqing standing beside her and said, "Qing'er, the champion this time is Lan Yu, do you remember that?"

Zong Zhengqing lowered his eyes, raised his hand and bowed, saying: "Disciple will remember this."

After hearing what Zong Zhengqing said, Jiang Yao took Situ Lanyu away from the arena.

Zong Zhengqing looked at the place where Jiang Yao had just stood, his eyes full of coldness.

As expected, the master still prefers Situ Lanyu.

Xuanyuan Zihan waited until Jiang Yao left before she dared to stand up. She looked a little aggrieved, "Big Brother, what should I do if Master is angry?"

Zong Zhengqing glanced at her and said, "Junior sister, if you don't cause trouble in the Cliff of Repentance, Master won't be angry."

When Xuanyuan Zihan heard Zong Zhengqing's words, her eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe that the senior brother who had just rescued her would say such a thing.

Situ Lanyu's injuries were not very serious. With the help of Jiang Yao's spiritual power, he was no longer in danger.

Jiang Yao withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes to look at Situ Lanyu and asked:

"Please circulate your spiritual power. Is there anything wrong?"

After hearing Jiang Yao's words, Situ Lanyu's eyes became hot for some reason, and tears started to fall straight down. She choked and said:

"Disciple is fine, Master, thank you for your concern."

Jiang Yao sighed, then conjured up a handkerchief and wiped away Situ Lanyu's tears: "Why are you crying? You are now the leader of the inner sect, aren't you happy?"

Situ Lanyu shook her head, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string:

"I'm happy, I just..."

"I just feel that Master has never liked me."

“It feels like a dream right now.”

Jiang Yao paused and said, "I treat all of you the same. If you really did something wrong, I won't speak for you today. Do you understand?"

Situ Lanyu nodded, raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly, and wiped away the tears that kept falling with his sleeve: "Disciple knows."

Jiang Yao looked at her like this and sighed secretly.

Perhaps this is a good thing. Before faking his death, it would allow Situ Lanyu to feel more warmth from his master, and at the same time, he could trip up Xuanyuan Zihan.

Jiang Yao intuitively felt that she was not far from the time when she faked her death.

On the night when the inner sect competition ended, Situ Lanyu used the jade pendant to summon Zixu.

During this meeting, Situ Lanyu had a smile on his face, and the gloom from the past had completely disappeared.

She called out, "Master Zixu."

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows. When they met in the past, Situ Lanyu would only call Zixu "Master", instead of "Master Zixu".

As if he knew the reason for Jiang Yao's doubts, Situ Lanyu said a little embarrassedly: "Master Zixu, actually Master is very good. During this inner sect competition..."

She briefly explained: "...so I think it's better to call them separately."

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Yao cautiously, fearing that the latter would be unhappy.

Jiang Yao didn't care about this little detail, after all, both of them were her.

But seeing how nervous Situ Lanyu was, she hummed and said, "Nothing, Shenhua also knows that you have become my disciple."

Situ Lanyu was obviously surprised, but since Jiang Yao didn't continue talking, she didn't ask any more questions.

She happily took out her prize from the inner sect competition and said, "Master Zixu, I have won the inner sect championship. It seems that I am not that stupid."

The smile on her face showed an unprecedented confidence.

……

After the inner sect competition ended, Xuanyuan Zihan became famous overnight. Even though she was not the champion, everyone remembered that she was a genius and knew that she was the most talented disciple of Tianxuan Sect.

As for Situ Lanyu, apart from the highlight in the finals, she was obsessed with cultivation and rarely showed up, so her reputation was far inferior to Xuanyuan Zihan's.

The days that followed were uneventful.

The punishment on the Cliff of Repentance did not make Xuanyuan Zihan depressed. Soon, she became famous in her own way.

Xuanyuan Zihan had trained outside and collected high-level spirit beasts, and destroyed several evil cultivators' strongholds. She then performed heroic deeds to save beauties and punish evildoers. Every time she went down the mountain, she would encounter events that would increase her fame.

She has many suitors, and a rough count shows that they can circle Tianxuan Gate five times.
