The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 526 Please respect yourself

Based solely on Ying Xuewu's words, it cannot be concluded that Langhuan is the person behind the scenes, but Yao Chi, who overheard the conversation between the two outside, still glanced at Langhuan sideways.

Everyone knows about the feud between Yao Chi and Chi Ying.

Langhuan quickly and awkwardly explained, "The formation of the lotus seed is not something that happens overnight; the candidate was decided long ago."

The other people had different expressions.

After Chi Ying's death, the Tianyu Sect had no choice but to endure it in order to maintain the overall situation and because no one spoke up for them.

Just because it didn't happen then doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.

After discussion, the people in the Lotus Pond decided to give Ying Xuewu some face, which was also an attempt to ease tensions with the Heavenly Desire Sect.

Although Yao Chi and Chi Ying had old grudges, she was at the time avoiding a life-or-death crisis and could not even protect herself, so she was naturally not within their consideration.

If they had known that Yao Chi was safe and sound, and even that her cultivation was better than before, they would naturally have prioritized Yao Chi's feelings.

Yao Chi said, "This must be the current leader of the Heavenly Desire Sect. He is indeed a man of great talent."

“Back when I was at odds with Chi Ying, Ying Xiaoyou wasn’t even born yet. I wouldn’t be so unreasonable as to blame him.”

"But you, with only two spots available, you're really generous."

Langhuan discerned that Yaochi's expression did not seem sarcastic before she recovered and said, "After so many years, you still have the same temper. It is I who cannot let go."

"I think we all entered the lotus pond together, and in the end, some perished, and those who survived had no future."

"The flowers bloom the same every year, but new faces will eventually replace the old."

Langhuan's sighs prompted others to sigh as well.

“Fellow Daoist Yao Chi, I’m afraid you don’t know this, but a few days before you came out of seclusion, Fellow Daoist Ying Huai went into seclusion.”

The speaker was a refined-looking male cultivator.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the female cultivator with a cold and aloof demeanor stated emotionlessly, "I see that his mental state is unstable this time, and he will definitely fail if he rashly attempts to ascend."

"Yao Chi, your time is almost up too, how confident are you?"

Yao Chi was already mentally prepared and said calmly, "Look at my current appearance, I seem to have some confidence."

Yao Chi's current round and short appearance as a child is nothing short of pitiful compared to the valiant and heroic female sword cultivator they remember.

The other five people present exchanged glances. Langhuan coughed lightly and said, "Now that there are no outsiders, let's not beat around the bush."

"Back then, we witnessed you entangled with Chi Ying, radiating demonic energy, which is why we severed ties with you."

"But our goals are the same. Over the years, not a single person from our Earthly Spirit Realm has successfully ascended to immortality."

"Sister Yao Chi, if you can successfully ascend, you will become the number one person in the Earth Spirit Realm."

Yao Chi's expression grew cold. She waved her hand and said, "You don't need to test me. I've only been out for a few days to enjoy some peace and quiet. Let's forget about the ascension."

"It seems that Sect Leader Yun is inexplicably trapped in an illusion. You should invite Sect Leader Yun out as soon as possible."

Langhuan was a little embarrassed. She said, "It was truly an accident that Headmaster Yun entered the country."

However, there are some things that are indeed not suitable to say in front of Yun Yici, an outsider.

Seeing that Yao Chi was unmoved by reason, the group realized that the past had completely broken her heart.

However, each of them was too proud to admit they were wrong, and for a moment no one spoke; they all stared at the water mirror.

The people in the water mirror were in different situations; some had fallen into an illusion, while the water mirror where Yun Yici and Ying Xue were not together remained calm and still.

Langhuan stood up and said, "I will invite Headmaster Yun out right away."

Yun Yici was unaware that her impulsive question had caused such a huge uproar.

She's trying to figure out how to get rid of the tagalong following her around.

Unfortunately, the lotus pods are straight and have no bends.

Ying Xue, being rather oblivious, kept her distance, following Yun Yici at a moderate distance as she explained the situation of the illusion.

"This illusionary realm has nine levels, and the trials are conducted according to the cultivators' level of temperament. I don't know which level we are in."

Yun Yici, whose back was completely exposed, already felt uneasy, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but turn around to look at Ying Xuewu.

"You mean that those of us assigned to the same level have the same nature?"

Ying Xue nodded with a smile: "That should be it."

"Sect Leader Yun, if you were willing to look back at me, you would find that I am no less than the men beside you."

The Huai Chuan sword was drawn and pressed against Ying Xuewu's throat in an instant.

"Please respect yourself."
