Chapter 274 The Sect Master's Wife
"Well done. I will send someone to that valley. Do the disciples you brought remember the way?"
Li Qingqiu pulled his spiritual sense out of the storage bag, looked at Jiang Zhaoxia, and chuckled softly.
As the number of disciples in the sect increases, the pressure on the number of blessed lands also increases, and now the Heavenly Mountain Spirit Pool has become a major sacred place for cultivation.
“Yes, they remember. I’ll handle this. It’s time for me to take on some responsibility,” Jiang Zhaoxia nodded.
Li Qingqiu smiled with satisfaction. It was a good thing that Jiang Zhaoxia was willing to take on some tasks.
Even though Li Qingqiu has already established the power structure, there are still many things that require his approval, and many minor matters that also need his attention, making it difficult for him to have complete peace and quiet.
Afterwards, the two brothers talked about the magical duel tournament.
Jiang Zhaoxia had a lot of confidence in Jian Du, believing that Jian Du was a sure thing to make it into the top three, but he wasn't sure if Jian Du could compete for first place.
"Senior Brother, who do you think will win first place this time?" Jiang Zhaoxia couldn't help but ask, trusting Li Qingqiu's judgment.
"Clouds".
Li Qingqiu stated frankly without the slightest hesitation.
"Clouds?"
Jiang Zhaoxia was stunned. He had long heard of Yun Cai's talent and comprehension, but he rarely interacted with Yun Cai. He did not expect that Yun Cai was stronger than Li Qingqiu's disciples.
"Ji Ya, Jian Du, and Xue Jin are all inferior to Yun Cai?"
"Ah."
"interesting."
Jiang Zhaoxia suddenly realized that his understanding of the sect was somewhat outdated. He was either going down the mountain to carry out missions or in seclusion, so he had indeed neglected to learn about the sect's disciples.
Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "Perhaps in a few years, it won't just be you, Ning'er, and Shen Yue vying for it; the power from the younger generation should not be underestimated."
Jiang Zhaoxia frowned and asked, "You mean I might be surpassed?"
“No, I’m just reminding you not to underestimate the younger generation. In the future, you can also assign them some responsibilities and train them. You are not only an elder of the Sword Sect, but also the sect’s support. Didn’t you say that you are the deputy sect leader?” Li Qingqiu said seriously.
Once you reach the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, it takes a very long time to break through to a higher realm. Therefore, Li Qingqiu hopes that Jiang Zhaoxia can play a different role.
Jiang Zhaoxia fell into thought.
Li Qingqiu continued, "It takes time for a sect to produce a powerful expert who surpasses the Spiritual Consciousness Realm. Therefore, I hope that the sect can produce more cultivators at the Spiritual Consciousness Realm in the next ten years."
Jiang Zhaoxia nodded and said, "I understand. I know what to do. I will keep an eye on this martial arts competition."
Li Qingqiu smiled and then mentioned Lin Xunfeng.
"If Master goes down the mountain to seek immortality and returns to see the Qingxiao Sect in its current state, what will he think?"
This topic piqued Jiang Zhaoxia's interest. He scoffed, "He must be regretting it. So many years have passed, and there's still no news of him. Could he have really found the Immortal Sect?"
“Perhaps it really is possible,” Li Qingqiu said meaningfully.
……
As June approached, the tournament intensified, with the goal of determining the top 64 finalists by June. This meant that many geniuses would be eliminated.
Mid-May.
Han Lang, the eldest disciple of the Sword Sect and a top ten finisher in the previous martial arts tournament, was defeated by Yun Cai, becoming the biggest upset since the start of the tournament and shocking the entire sect.
Han Lang is Jiang Zhaoxia's disciple, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. Before meeting Yun Cai, he was even a strong contender for first place.
Most importantly, in this battle, Yun Cai completely dominated him.
Yun Cai, who is 25 years old, is also at the eighth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. As her fame grows, some busybodies begin to summarize her past.
More and more people realized that Yun Cai's cultivation speed was extremely exaggerated, even unmatched within the sect. Coupled with her combat talent, all things considered, she possessed a style comparable to Xu Ning, perhaps even surpassing her. Yun Cai's background also became a topic of discussion among many disciples.
He is another typical genius of the sect leader's faction.
He was saved by the sect leader before he joined the sect, and out of gratitude, he became a disciple. The sect leader then discovered his talent and began to cultivate him.
Yun Cai's fame spread far and wide, making Li Qingqiu's chivalry and insightful judgment a topic of conversation among his disciples once again.
Inside a courtyard.
Ji Ya was drinking with his five close friends, and they were talking about Han Lang's defeat.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to Han Lang. He stopped leading the Sword Sect disciples in sword practice and spent his days meditating on the cliff, refusing to see anyone.
Yang Lin looked at Ji Ya and asked, "Ji Ya, you must have had a lot of dealings with Yun Cai. What kind of person is she in private?"
Thanks to Ji Ya's connections, the five of them were arranged by Li Qingqiu to join the Sword Sect. They have been cultivating diligently for many years, and their cultivation has not declined. In their eyes, Yun Cai is a junior, after all, Yun Cai joined the sect later than them.
The fact that Yun Cai defeated Han Lang had a great impact on them.
They couldn't imagine how someone with less training time than them could defeat Han Lang.
These Sword Sect disciples were most aware of Han Lang's strength.
Ji Ya pondered and said, "In private, she is just as cold-hearted as she is on the dueling platform. She is a true cultivation fanatic, spending almost all her time on cultivation."
Yun Cai's victory over Han Lang also greatly stimulated him.
He realized he might really be no match for Yun Cai.
"She is a disciple personally taught by the sect leader, so why doesn't she become the sect leader's disciple?" a male disciple asked, his question arousing the curiosity of the other four.
This is also a question that many disciples of the sect are curious about.
Ji Ya gave a strange smile and said in a low voice, "I can tell you, but you must not spread it around."
"You're telling me, you still don't trust us?"
"That's right! Tell me quickly."
Urged on by Yang Lin and the others, Ji Ya said mysteriously, "Because she doesn't want to be her master's disciple, she wants to be someone else?"
Another identity?
Everyone was puzzled, but Yang Lin seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed slightly.
Ji Ya raised an eyebrow and said, "You didn't even think of that? What other identity could she have? She wants to be the sect leader's wife. Every time Hu Yan calls her 'senior sister,' it annoys her!"
Everyone was greatly surprised, never expecting that Yun Cai, who was as cold and aloof as a fairy on the dueling platform, would have this side to her.
They immediately became excited and began to press for details, wanting to know Li Qingqiu's attitude.
“Of course my master can see through her thoughts and won’t agree to her at all,” Ji Ya shrugged, but these words made Yang Lin’s eyes light up.
Once a person becomes famous, rumors and gossip will inevitably emerge.
The cloud is like that; many people are talking about her.
Less than five days after she defeated Han Lang, news that she wanted to become the sect leader's wife spread like wildfire within the sect, making the disciples even more excited.
This also led to Li Qingqiu being discussed among his disciples.
The disciples found that the sect leader had no flaws and met all the criteria for admiration of the female disciples, yet he had not been involved in any romantic relationships with anyone.
Gradually, the disciples' discussion shifted from the clouds to their curiosity about what kind of woman their sect leader liked.
