I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 386 Martial Arts Tournament 4

"She's so beautiful..."

"Why are you so infatuated with women? Didn't you like Senior Brother Ji Zhaoze just a second ago?"

"What do you know? This is called love at first sight. Everything before is just a passing cloud."

"..."

Everyone else stared intently. "She...she's standing with Senior Brother Ji Zhaoze, could she be the legendary little disciple of Immortal Venerable Ci Gui?"

"Possibly??"

"What do you mean 'possible'? It's clearly true!"

"Look, who are those two beauties in red following behind?"

"Hey, shut up, or someone will hear you. How dare you be so bold as a newbie? Call them senior brothers and sisters, be respectful and call them seniors! Who gave you the guts to call them that?"

The others who overheard this also chimed in with their reprimands. Li Erzhuang, who had been scolded, shut his mouth, but still muttered resentfully to himself: "So pretty, maybe it's all looks and no substance... Pshaw, what's so great about the Xuanmiao Sect?" Although he knew rationally that the Xuanmiao Sect was powerful, he was still very resentful of being reprimanded.

After the others were amazed, they dared not exclaim, and even the whispers subsided considerably.

In their eyes, it was harmless for other sects to discuss things among themselves, but the Xuanmiao Sect was an exception.

The reason is simple: the mere mention of the name "Xuanmiao Sect" is enough to inspire awe and fear, let alone any disrespect. This respect and reverence are deeply ingrained in the precepts of other sects, large and small.

The Xuanmiao Sect disciples, led by Ji Zhaoze and Yun Qingyi and assisted by the elders, disembarked from the flying boat one by one. At this time, Ci Gui had already stood with the Zixiao Sect Master and they exchanged pleasantries.

The Purple Cloud Sect Master, with a deep gaze, chuckled and said, "A rare guest indeed! I thought Immortal Venerable Ci Gui wouldn't be coming this year, but I didn't expect him to give me face. It's truly a rare treat."

Seeing that Ci Gui did not speak, the Zixiao Sect Master continued, "Ci Gui Immortal Venerable's disciples are as excellent as ever, hahaha, their strength must have improved a lot compared to last year."

Ci Gui showed no extra expression, simply saying, "You flatter me." There was no further pleasantries.

Seeing that the Purple Cloud Sect Master was somewhat embarrassed by his setback, the Biyun Sect Master quickly tried to smooth things over: "The Purple Cloud Sect has made rapid progress in the past hundred years. Just now, after disembarking from the flying boat, I felt that the disciples in the sect all had extraordinary temperaments, which are several levels higher than a hundred years ago. I'm sure the Purple Cloud Sect Master has contributed to this."

Upon hearing this, the Zixiao Sect Master's expression softened considerably. The Biyun Sect and the Zixiao Sect were on relatively good terms, so the Zixiao Sect Master gave her face and they began to flatter each other, "Sect Master Biyun, you flatter me. I've heard that your Holy Maiden is not even a hundred years old yet, right? She has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. She is truly a formidable young talent."

……

As the two were exchanging flattery and praise, Ji Lan, the sect leader of Xianyue Valley, remained silent like an ice sculpture, only glancing at Ci Gui from time to time, his eyes revealing a sharpness that only Ci Gui knew, yet which was both subtle and undisguised.

Ci Gui glanced at Ji Lan indifferently, not taking him seriously.

Seeing Ci Gui's indifference and the lack of any further action, he already had an ice sculpture-like appearance that kept strangers at bay, but he was thinking in his heart.

Like Ci Gui, Ji Lan usually doesn't come to such events in person. The reason he came to this centennial competition was largely because of his two little apprentices, especially Yun Yu'er.

Thinking of Yun Yu'er, Ji Lan couldn't help but smile faintly. He had watched Yun Yu'er grow up, from nine years old to nineteen years old, step by step, until she reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He had witnessed it all.

To be honest, Ji Lan was very gratified and proud, but when she heard about her family background, she felt even more heartbroken.

The fact that his precious child was living such a difficult life at home, and had even been usurped, made Ji Lan even angrier.

I originally thought that with careful planning, I could make the Qingcheng Yun family pay the price.

Unexpectedly, Yu'er's two sisters had actually become disciples of the Xuanmiao Sect. With the Xuanmiao Sect's protection, it was indeed a bit more difficult to harm them.

Having unintentionally probed Ci Gui's strength, his heart grew even heavier.
