The handyman disciple breathed a sigh of relief and began to flatter Elder Qian again, sincerely apologizing for his earlier words.
Elder Qian had no patience to listen to him: "I have other things to do. If you don't have anything else to do, you might as well go back and cultivate properly."
"If your cultivation level doesn't improve, even if there are no more people with the surname Zhao, there will be people with the surname Wang or Li, but there won't be another person with the surname Sun like you."
Elder Qian said meaningfully, "If you want to be of more help, you can't do it in your current state."
Sun, the servant, nodded and bowed in agreement, saw Elder Qian off, and then took a complicated look at the bamboo house nearby before leaving.
Perhaps because their cultivation level was insufficient, they were completely unaware that their every move had been exposed to others.
After everyone had left, Yinyin cautiously asked, "Tianyuan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a bit frustrated," Qi Tianyuan said, bowing his head. "I misjudged Sun the servant, and unintentionally became his and Elder Qian's accomplices."
Yinyin didn't try to dissuade him from taking it to heart or say that Senior Brother Zhao wasn't a good person either. Instead, she said, "Then you'd better be careful next time and learn from this experience."
Yinyin and Qi Tianyuan both thought the matter was over and didn't take it seriously.
The next day, when it was time for the competition, the two of them went up against each other like that.
When others faced Qi Tianyuan, they were more normal, but when they saw Yinyin, they immediately told her to back down.
There's no other reason than that Yin Yin is much younger than the others, and naturally, she's not very tall either.
Although they knew that everyone who came was at the Foundation Establishment stage, Yin Yin was too deceptive, and many people couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Even the peak masters of the First Sect couldn't help but pay more attention to Yin Yin after seeing her.
When Yin Yin drew her sword to exchange blows, the peak master of the First Sword Peak's eyes lit up, and he pulled the person next to him to ask, "Which sect does that child belong to?"
Someone brought over the roster: "They are disciples of the Heavenly Outer Sect."
"The Outer Heavens Sect? Never heard of it," the peak master of the First Sect's Weapon Peak said nonchalantly. "If we take a liking to it, we can just recruit it as a disciple."
"It's obvious to everyone how to choose between an unknown small sect and the number one sect."
After a moment's hesitation, the Sword Peak Master said, "I'm afraid not. I saw that when she drew her sword, she already had sword intent. I suppose her sect has put a lot of effort into training her."
The peak master of Qifeng still didn't think anyone could refuse the First Sect, so he proposed a bet with him.
If he loses, he'll give Sword Peak a batch of supplies for free. If the Sword Peak Master loses, every time he issues a quest to find something, the Sword Peak disciples will have to help him.
The Sword Peak Master immediately agreed, not for any other reason than that this was a sure-fire way to make money for Sword Peak.
Sword Peak is poor from top to bottom. Any good things they have are used to nourish their own natal swords. If they win this time, it will be good if the disciples can have more money.
Even if we lose this time, although we will have to help Qi Feng find something, we will get closer to Qi Feng and build a better relationship with him. In the future, will we still have to worry about not having anything to use?
Yin Yin had no idea that she was also involved in a bet between two of the top sect masters, but even if she did know, it wouldn't matter.
For Yu Yinyin, no matter how good the first sect was, it was not her sect.
Yin Yin only displayed the abilities of the early Foundation Establishment stage, but her swordsmanship was exceptionally superb, and she combined ice magic with swordsmanship very well. Many late Foundation Establishment stages might not be able to match her.
Given this premise, when she defeated many people whose cultivation was slightly higher than hers, the onlookers were surprised but also thought it was reasonable.
Sword cultivators are often single, and beating up people of higher levels is commonplace in the cultivation world. Yin Yin is a sword cultivator with good magic skills, and she hasn't exceeded her abilities by too much, so there are plenty of people willing to find excuses for her.
When she encountered a direct disciple of the first sect's inner circle, Yin Yin took the opportunity to naturally step down.
She was a good actress and no one doubted her acting skills. In addition, she didn't cheat and admitted defeat, which even earned her a lot of goodwill.
The disciple who had defeated her spoke to her in a soft, slightly strained voice, but he was good-looking and his voice wasn't unpleasant, so Yin Yin was willing to return a smile.
After losing this match, Yin Yin sat quietly beside her master, accepting food from her senior brothers and watching her junior brother Qi Tianyuan's match.
Qi Tianyuan felt no pressure and was able to compete with ease, but he didn't encounter any particularly formidable opponents in the early stages, so he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
After returning from the competition that day, Qi Tianyuan went to find Yin Yin.
"Junior sister, please teach me! How do you manage to lose without anyone noticing?"
Yin Yin shared her experience with him: "Your strength is undeniable. If you lose easily, others will definitely have doubts."
"So if you want to lose without being suspected, it depends not only on yourself, but also on your opponent."
"At the very least, your opponent has to be someone who doesn't look weaker than you, or you've already encountered a tough opponent and you've 'gone all out,' so it's only natural that you'd perform worse in the next match."
Qi Tianyuan nodded: "I understand, I'll give it a try tomorrow."
Yinyin reminded him, "Where did you get the schedule for tomorrow?"
Qi Tianyuan realized what was happening and said, "Then the day after tomorrow."
After the two had spoken, they were about to go back to rest when someone knocked on the door of their house.
"Who is it?" Yin Yin and her companion were in the courtyard, so they were the first to hear it.
Someone outside answered, "First case, the Enforcement Hall."
Yin Yin and Qi Tianyuan were both puzzled. What was the First Law Enforcement Hall doing here at this time?
Yinyin stopped Qi Tianyuan, who was about to open the door, and said to the outside, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell my master."
After Yinyin finished speaking, she pulled Qi Tianyuan to knock on Ruoshui's door. After receiving Ruoshui's instructions, she and Qi Tianyuan went to open the door together.
“My master said that since you have come to visit so late at night, we dare not invite you all in. Just send one person to come in with us to pay our respects.”
After Yinyin finished speaking, she noticed that everyone in the Enforcement Hall was focused on Qi Tianyuan.
The disciple leading the Enforcement Hall said, "There's no need to come in. We've come here today because someone has accused Qi Tianyuan of using underhanded tactics to harm a disciple of the First Sect. We've been ordered by our master to come and ask him to cooperate with the investigation."
The disciple from the Enforcement Hall made a gesture, and the people next to him were about to step forward and arrest Qi Tianyuan like a criminal.
Yinyin stood in front of Qi Tianyuan, her face stern: "Coming in the dead of night without any token, you want to arrest our disciples based on just a word? Is this how the First Sect treats its guests?"
The people from the Enforcement Hall didn't take Yin Yin seriously at all, and raised their chins: "Take her away."
Yinyin pressed down Qi Tianyuan's hand that was about to draw his sword and shouted loudly, "Master, Senior Brother, the First Sect is bullying us!"
A surge of spiritual energy swept past Yin Yin and Qi Tianyuan, striking the people from the Enforcement Hall and blasting them all out of the door.
Ruoshui's voice rang out: "You're not qualified to cooperate with the investigation."
This was the first time the disciples of the Enforcement Hall had suffered such a loss, and they threatened, "Are you trying to make an enemy of the First Sect?"
Ruoshui gave a cold snort, causing the disciples of the Enforcement Hall present to feel their blood and qi surge, and some even experienced a disruption in their spiritual energy, nearly kneeling down.
"Is this an enemy, or is it the first case to use the opportunity to eliminate dissidents?"
"If you want to harm my disciple, get lost!"
