Chapter 30: Saints by the Great Pine Lake

After a few polite words, Gaoyi and others excused themselves with the pretext they had something to do. Only Chen Lu, the eldest disciple of the Yunluo peak, was left behind on the cloud to accompany the Saintess of Biluo sect.

The Saint didn't seem to pay any attention to Eldest Martial Sister Chen Lu.

She took off her boots and sat on the edge of the cloud, unconsciously swinging her legs, like a romantic girl washing her feet by the stream.

Chen Lu's eyes climbed up along the milky white feet of the Saint, and finally reached the cold face of the Saint.

What the hell is she doing? Chen Lu fell into deep doubt.

The Saint has stayed in that position for a long time. It seems that she doesn't care that her slightly unusual behavior is seen by others.

Is the newcomers' competition really so eye-catching?

Chen Lu doesn't think so.

At this time, a familiar cry came from the square under the cloud.

"The winner is Xiao Jinse!"

The Saint's slender eyelashes quivered gently.

This is the sixth round. After this round, the female disciple named Xiao Jinse successfully reached the final of the newcomers' competition.

She has observed Xiao Jinse's final opponent, a cultivator named Fan Ren, who was on the eighth Stage of the Qi Refining Period.

According to the information disclosed by the "professional commentators" on the ground, Fan Ren was born in a family of cultivation. He officially started cultivating at the age of seven and was known as the champion of the Fan family.

Therefore, although Xiao Jinse performed exceptionally during the competition, few people believed that she could win.

After all, Xiao Jinse's cultivation base is lower than the seventh Stage of Qi Refining Stage.

"Trust me, trust Fan Ren!"

"Bet on Fan Ren and make a lot of money! Easy win!"

The final is about to begin. There are many people around the challenge arena waiting for the final.

The Saint suddenly said, "Miss Chen, who do you think will win the final battle?"

Ah? Chen Lu was obviously stunned.

After realizing that the Saint was asking her, she answered without hesitation, "Fan Ren!"

"?" The Saint looked at Chen Lu with surprised eyes.

Chen Lu frowned and said, "May I ask, do you think differently?"

The Saint shook her head. "I'm just surprised at Miss Chen's prediction."

In other words, the Saint couldn't help belittling Chen Lu. The eldest disciple of the Yunluo peak didn't have a good eye.

The Saintess actually prefers Xiao Jinse!

On one hand, Xiao Jinse has won every round very quickly, and surely has retained more of her strength; On the other hand, Xiao Jinse is the younger Martial Sister of “that woman”!

The Saint closed her eyes slowly.

She began to conceive a terrible scene in her mind, which once became the internal demon on her path of cultivation!

That was nearly two years ago.

At that time, though her name was known, she was yet to become a Saint.

Following the rules of the sect, the Saint led some weak disciples down the mountain for training. The training place was a small mountain town called Ghost Crying Town. The goal of the training was to investigate the truth of a "ghost crying".

She was so self-confident that she couldn’t imagine meeting an unbeatable enemy there.

–The seventh night of training.

After tracing her way to the Great Pine Lake, the Saint found that the ghost cry came from the depths of the lake.

Just after she and her younger Martial Brothers and sisters worked together to kill the Green-Eyed Ghost, a vicious Ghost King soon emerged from the Great Pine Lake. A tremendous battle followed, before she was finally bound by the Ghost King with its Soul-eating Chain.

It was not easy for her to grow up from an ordinary disciple to being a core disciple of the sect. Unexpectedly, she was about to suffer all kinds of humiliation and die at the Great Pine Lake!

Before the Saint could speak, everyone around laughed.

"Xiao Jinse's sword is called Blowing Snow Sword, and our younger Martial Brother's sword is called Melting Snow Sword. Its nature will restrain Xiao Jinse's sword."

The Saint said, "Don't be careless."

There was not much reproach in her tone.

"It's our turn to play!"

The Saint has negotiated with Elder Gaoyi about the duel between the new disciples of the two sects.

Therefore, while Bai Lian fed Xiao Jinse pills to recover from her injury, the Saint and the Deacon who presided over the newcomer's competition appeared together.

The competition between the two sects immediately aroused the interest of all the disciples present.

"Still fighting? Doesn't that mean I still have a chance to win my money back?"

"Wow, the Saint is so 'big'!"

"Humph, is she 'bigger' than Martial Sister Bai Lian?"

With a smile on her face, the Saint glanced at all the disciples under the stage.

When she found that Bai Lian was not looking at her at all, she could not help frowning.

Hum.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Saint moved her steps down from the challenge arena, and the onlookers consciously made way for her.

This way, the Saint made her way to Bai Lian.

The square became quiet as everyone was looking forward to the sparks between Martial Sister Bai Lian and the Saint.

"?" Bai Lian wondered. What's wrong?

She began to doubt whether she had been infected by her younger Martial Sister and she now had the punchable face of a protagonist.

The Saint took the lead in saying, "By the Great Pine Lake, being chained by the Ghost King, Shen Xiangling."

Ah? Bai Lian was confused.

She knows that Shen Xiangling is the real name of the Saint, but what the hell is the Great Pine Lake?

Then the dusty memory suddenly appeared in Bai Lian's mind. She remembered it!

It should have been two years ago. She was ordered to go down the mountain to buy some goods. When she came back, she passed a ghost town.

When she took a shortcut to pass by the Great Pine Lake outside the town, she saw a group of Biluo sect disciples lying on the side of the lake in the shallow water.

A young girl was tied up by water and grass. She was crying at a worn-out dress hanging on a willow tree by the lake, and kept talking about "Ghost King", "Soul-Eating Chain", "Insult" and "Don't come here".

Bai Lian could see at a glance that she was poisoned by the ghost fog on the lake. This fog can make cultivators exhausted and even produce hallucinations. When the fog disappears, the cultivator will immediately return to normal.

Bai Lian didn't want to cause trouble.

But the girl cried so much that it was annoying, so she shouted "It's so noisy!" and cut the ragged dress to pieces.

Seeing the girl "too scared to speak" because of her, she left contentedly.

So the Saint was that idiot...

Bai Lian was about to speak, and the task options popped up.

[Task 1: Follow your heart, "Oh, you are that idiot!" (Reward: A middle-grade magic tool - Guanshan Jade Flute)]

[Task 2: Confused, "What are you talking about?" (Reward: An inferior magic tool - Soul-Summoning Flag)]

[Task 3: Enthusiastic, "I didn't expect you to become the Saint of Biluo sect." (Reward: Light Skill+2)]

Bai Lian was speechless.

Why can't I be honest?

How come all the women in this game are so narrow-minded!

She squeezed out a smile and reluctantly complimented Shen Xiangling, "I didn't expect you to become the Saint of Biluo sect!"

She really remembers me!

Shen Xiangling's uneasy heart immediately settled down.

She showed her Saintly demeanor and began to compliment Bai Lian.
