In an instant.
Bai Mei's courtyard was packed to the brim, with countless pairs of fervent eyes fixed on the golden radiance emanating from her body inside the room. Not a single person moved.
"Who is she?"
"I've never seen her before."
"Is she really a disciple of our Yunjie Sect?"
"Right, is she even one of us?"
"No, she is!"
Someone shouted, "I recognize her! She's a new inner disciple named Bai Mei, formerly from the Fengyun Sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
A wave of excitement and fervor swept through the gathering.
"Are you serious?"
"Is she really a disciple of the Yunjie Sect?"
Everyone was thrilled and buzzing with energy.
After all, having such a prodigious talent among their ranks meant that the entire sect could rise in prominence alongside her.
"Of course, she's a disciple of our Yunjie Sect," the disciple who had spoken earlier declared with utmost seriousness.
"This is amazing!"
"This is truly fantastic!"
"Yes, our Yunjie Sect is destined to flourish!"
Nearby, several elders of the Yunjie Sect were trembling with excitement.
Initially, Bai Mei's arrival had caused internal strife within the sect, with many firmly opposed to her joining.
They believed that offending the Fengyun Sect over Bai Mei simply wasn't worth it.
Some even insisted that Bai Mei would bring nothing but trouble to the Yunjie Sect.
But now, looking at her, they realized she wasn't trouble at all—she was a heaven-sent opportunity!
With Bai Mei's Supreme Golden Bones, offending even ten Fengyun Sects would be worth it.
The elders' hands shook with excitement, and some were on the verge of tears.
Suddenly, they shuddered as a thought struck them.
Oh no.
The Fengyun Sect was currently pressuring them at the sect's gates, and no one knew if Guan Ling would cave under the pressure and hand Bai Mei over.
What if...
That couldn't happen.
The elders scrambled, rushing out in a flurry of urgency.
At the sect gates.
Guan Ling stood with a grim expression, locked in a standoff with the Fengyun Sect's spirit vessel.
To be honest, his initial decision to accept Bai Mei into the sect had been a mistake born of his affection for Su Yu'er. It had been impulsive.
But even now, knowing he had acted rashly, he couldn't simply take it back.
After all, Bai Mei was already a disciple of the Yunjie Sect.
By both reason and principle, he couldn't just cast her out. Doing so would turn the Yunjie Sect into a laughingstock.
Yet, in the current situation, he had no idea how to resolve the conflict.
"Guan Ling, don't push your luck! Are you really willing to gamble with the lives of countless Yunjie Sect disciples?" The Fengyun Sect elder's voice echoed coldly from the spirit vessel.
Guan Ling's face was icy, but he still couldn't make a decision.
Just as he and his people were at a loss, still locked in the standoff, he noticed a group of elders rushing out from the sect.
Seeing this, Guan Ling's expression darkened.
These were the very elders who had opposed Bai Mei's entry and had even pressured him to expel her.
For them to appear at such a critical moment was not a good sign.
If they contradicted him in front of the Fengyun Sect, the standoff would lose all meaning.
"Ugh!"
Guan Ling let out a heavy sigh.
But just as he was about to stop the elders and send them back inside, he heard them shouting first.
"Hand her over? Over our dead bodies! Who do you think you are, ordering us around?"
"Exactly, who do you think you are?"
"Let me make this clear—we're not handing anyone over. Turn your ship around and go back where you came from."
The elders' voices were firm and unyielding, leaving everyone present utterly stunned.
Especially Guan Ling.
He blinked in disbelief.
What? These guys were even more defiant than he was?
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
