Chapter 125: Standing Out in the Forest, A Lifeti of Following?
ng Changqing was left bewildered.
From the beginning until now, he had been quietly staying put without uttering a word. Why did the Sect Master suddenly praise him?
Feeling the surrounding gazes, be they shocked, envious, or jealous, he indeed felt like a tall tree standing out in the forest, catching the wind’s attention.
However, ng Changqing didn’t feel any panic. As the saying goes, confidence stems from strength.
The re gaze of his peers couldn’t pressure him. Even if they all ganged up, they wouldn’t be his match.
Thinking this, he smiled slightly and turned to walk outside.
Lan Chan, after hesitating for a mont, followed him. He knew ng Changqing had unique qualities, particularly his remarkable comprehension. But even so, it shouldn’t be enough to earn such praise from the mysterious Sect Master, right?
While Lan Chan was pondering, so were the others.
They all left the main hall one by one.
“ng Changqing,” Han Luoyu finally snapped out of his daze, his hands clenching slightly.
It was the first ti he had heard this na, and for the first ti, he felt an uneasy sensation, as if sothing he cherished was slipping away.
After the disciples left, the hall’s doors closed, leaving only seven people inside — the six Peak Masters and the Sect Master.
“Senior brothers and sisters, it’s been a long ti,” the Sect Master greeted with a smile.
“It has been a while,” Mo Shukuang replied casually. “You ca out last ti, but I was in seclusion and missed it.”
“Judging by your aura, you must have made significant progress,” said the Peak Master of dicine King Peak, an elderly woman with a kind and gentle deanor.
“Indeed, I advanced my cultivation technique by one layer,” the Sect Master nodded.
“There are many sect affairs. I don’t have ti for you to chat idly here,” the Grand Elder suddenly interrupted, causing everyone to fall silent. The Sect Master could only smile wryly and then composed himself.
“According to news from the Thirteenth Junior Sister, the judges for this martial event are from Central Province, and they have brought sothing for Fla Sun Valley.”
Upon hearing this, the six Peak Masters furrowed their brows.
“Do you an that the strength of Fla Sun Valley’s disciples will increase in this martial event?” the Grand Elder asked.
“Very likely,” the Sect Master replied.
“Hmph, this is all because of your past mistakes!” The Grand Elder’s face darkened, recalling past events. He wanted to leave but forced himself to stay.
“It seems our promotion to first rank will beco more difficult,” Shangguan Zhi stroked his long beard and sighed.
“Fla Sun Valley was originally set up to suppress our Tai Xuan Sect. Otherwise, how could a newly promoted force grow so quickly?” said the Peak Master of the Formation Peak, a relatively young-looking woman who might have taken so youth-preserving elixirs.
“The strongest disciple of Fla Sun Valley is that innate fire body,” Mo Shukuang pondered, “so I can guess what they might have brought.”
Hearing this, the others seed thoughtful.
“If it is indeed that item, even Han Luoyu will lose!” The Grand Elder took a deep breath, “Xi Yingqing, I said that before I die, I must see the sect promoted! This has been the wish of our sect for generations!”
“Second Senior Brother, don’t worry,” Xi Yingqing said imdiately. “Although Luoyu is strong, he is not the key to this event.”
“If not him, then who?” The Grand Elder squinted, “Are you referring to ng Changqing, the one you just ntioned?”
“While he has great potential and significant luck, potential is just potential until it is fully realized. Sword qi? Who here doesn’t have it?
“I’ve said before that if we are to cultivate soone, we should do it promptly, instead of waiting and testing!”
“Second Senior Brother, please allow to speak,” Xi Yingqing said, sowhat helpless. The Second Senior Brother was like this — once he started, his words flowed like a torrent.
“Perhaps not before, but just now, I discovered sothing interesting about him.”
“What?” Mo Shukuang asked, since ng Changqing was from his Spirit Peak.
“This,” Xi Yingqing smiled and snapped his fingers. The scene in the hall changed instantly.
Outside the main hall, ng Changqing stood at the edge of the square, leaning against a large stone, looking relaxed. Not far away, several genius disciples glanced at him, pointing and whispering.
Clearly, the Sect Master’s words had left them puzzled and discontented.
Why? Why should an ordinary genius who had just entered the Dao Creation Realm receive such praise from the Sect Master?
Any one of them felt they were stronger than him!
But with strict sect rules and the Grand Elder present, they dared not cause trouble.
“Hey!” a voice called out.
ng Changqing turned to see Mo Xiaoyu, who had dragged a large stone over to stand on, eting his gaze at eye level.
“What do you want?” ng Changqing raised an eyebrow.
“Tell , did you know the Sect Master beforehand? Why else would he praise you and not ? I’m ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!” Mo Xiaoyu asked, arms crossed, sowhat irate.
“Heaven and earth as my witness, today was the first ti I t the Sect Master,” ng Changqing replied with a smile.
“Really?” Mo Xiaoyu was skeptical.
Possibly due to her competitive nature, she always aid to be the best in everything. She thought she had surpassed ng Changqing, but today, he had once again outshone her!
The Sect Master’s praise — she had never received it!
How annoying!
“Of course, I’m an honest person and never lie,” ng Changqing spread his hands.
“I don’t believe you. You look like a big liar.” Mo Xiaoyu raised her small fists, “You better et in the martial event. I’ll defeat you fair and square to prove I’m stronger!”
“eting in the event would an fighting within our own sect, benefitting other forces,” ng Changqing replied.
“Um… true, then let’s see who ranks higher!” Mo Xiaoyu proposed.
“Alright, but there should be a wager,” ng Changqing suggested.
“What wager?” Mo Xiaoyu asked.
“If I rank higher than you, you have to agree to one request of mine.”
“What request?”
“My greatest love is making friends. You just need to agree to be my friend.”
“Friend?” Mo Xiaoyu was taken aback, not expecting such a request.
“Alright, I agree. But if you rank lower than ,” Mo Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips, a mischievous grin on her cute face, “you have to call senior sister for life and be my follower!”
