When Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue came out of the disciples' market, they were covered in treasures, not just weapons, but also defensive inner armor and jewelry with automatic protective features.
"Eh? I say, Ao Xue, you've spent almost all of your Master's contribution points. Aren't you afraid she'll get mad at you?" Ye Liuyun asked with some worry.
When this was brought up, Lin Aoxue showed a slight hint of embarrassment, but it was only momentary.
"Are you silly? My Master is the Sect Master of Yunxia Sect! The entire sect belongs to her. What's wrong with spending some contribution points? Don't worry, nothing will happen," Lin Aoxue comforted herself.
But Ye Liuyun really wanted to say, 'You spendthrift woman,' but since she herself accounted for half of the spending, Ye Liuyun could only accept it gladly.
Ye Liuyun was now fully armed, covered in treasures one after another. The two looked like wealthy magnates; besides their clothes and themselves, everything was Spirit-grade treasures.
Yun Yun's contribution token originally had over a million contribution points, making her the person with the most contribution points in the entire Yunxia Sect, but now it was nearly depleted, with less than ten thousand left.
This was still because Ye Liuyun told Lin Aoxue to leave some, otherwise, it would have been completely spent.
"This, this, this, wow! Is this the new Direct Senior Sister? How does she have so many Spirit-grade magic treasures on her? And that Junior Sister next to her, who are they?"
"A pair of very rich sisters."
On the way out of the sect market, the people around them were all attracted by the shimmering treasures on the two.
Ye Liuyun was originally very resistant to women's accessories, but as soon as she heard they were magic treasures, she immediately stopped resisting.
The two didn't immediately return to their respective places, but instead looked around various parts of Yunxia Sect. The most lively place was still Yunxia Sect's martial arts arena, where the most disciples gathered. Cultivators were relatively fond of fighting, and the martial arts arena was full of cultivators sparring.
In Yunxia Sect, the Lingxi Realm is generally the realm of Entry Disciples and junior disciples.
The Linghe Realm is for intermediate disciples, the Linghai Realm for senior disciples, and the Lingwen Realm for Core Disciples.
The above are essentially the high-ranking members of the sect. Jiang Hong, whom they met not long ago, was a Personal Disciple of the Lingwen Realm.
While Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were familiarizing themselves with Yunxia Sect, Jiang Hong had already arrived at the residence of another Personal Disciple.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, something big has happened!" Jiang Hong called out everywhere as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Inside the house was a young cultivator with a graceful demeanor and ethereal aura. This person was currently Yunxia Sect's Head Disciple, Li Jianxin.
The so-called Head Disciple of a sect is the strongest among the current generation of disciples in that sect.
Li Jianxin heard someone calling him from outside the door, so he stopped cultivating and calmly got out of bed.
"Junior Brother Jiang, such a commotion, what kind of behavior is that?" Li Jianxin walked out of the house.
As soon as Jiang Hong saw Li Jianxin, he immediately cupped his hands and apologized.
"My apologies, Senior Brother, I was rude, but I was anxious! Don't you know? The Sect Master actually accepted a Personal Disciple, a Junior Sister." Jiang Hong apologized, then quickly explained.
Li Jianxin, who had been calm, immediately had his eyes sharpen upon hearing this.
It seemed Li Jianxin was also displeased about this matter, but cultivators of their level, even if very unhappy, would not make a big fuss.
"Is that so? Then, how does this Junior Sister seem?" Li Jianxin hesitated for a moment before asking.
Jiang Hong found Li Jianxin's calmness hard to understand. This was a major event, so why was his Senior Brother so composed?
The reason Jiang Hong was anxious was that he and Li Jianxin were both disciples of the same elder, and before Lin Aoxue appeared, Li Jianxin was absolutely the most suitable person to inherit the position of Sect Master.
But now, Lin Aoxue's arrival was equivalent to sentencing Li Jianxin to death, so Jiang Hong couldn't be happy.
"Senior Brother, you're too calm! Your position has been taken!" Jiang Hong reminded him.
Li Jianxin sighed softly.
"And then? What do you think I should do? Go appeal to the Sect Master?" Li Jianxin retorted.
This question stumped Jiang Hong. Indeed, as juniors, they had no right to question the decisions of their elders, and the Sect had never stated that Li Jianxin would become the next Sect Master.
But the problem was that Li Jianxin had been the Yunxia Sect's Head Disciple for decades, and he was at the peak of the Lingwen Realm, about to enter the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
Such a person had an unparalleled reputation among the disciples of this generation.
"But, Senior Brother, do you really not care?" Jiang Hong was still a bit indignant; he felt the Sect was burying talent.
Li Jianxin had talent, character, and prestige. He was absolutely the leading figure among contemporary disciples. Not choosing Li Jianxin, but instead selecting a new generation disciple as a successor, was unreasonable.
What are new generation disciples? The Yunxia Sect recruits disciples every fifty years as appropriate. He and Li Jianxin were disciples from fifty years ago, with an average age of over fifty. New generation disciples naturally referred to those who entered the Sect this month.
Their average age is under eighteen.
"What if I care? What if I'm unhappy? Junior Brother Jiang, as a cultivator, you must always remain calm when things happen. Even if the Sect Master takes a Personal Disciple, it doesn't necessarily mean she will become the Sect Master. Everything still depends on strength," Li Jianxin said confidently.
Li Jianxin was very confident in himself. Even if the Sect Master's new disciple had extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for her to catch up to him in a short time. As long as he broke through to the Dao Palace level, the position of Sect Master would be within his grasp.
Because the true decision-maker of the Sect was not the current Sect Master, but the Grand Elder, who was Yun Yun's Master.
Jiang Hong understood Li Jianxin's meaning after hearing him speak.
"Oh, I understand. It really was me, your Junior Brother, who was too anxious." Jiang Hong gave an awkward smile.
"Alright, you go back first. I still need to cultivate. Oh, by the way, what is this Junior Sister's name?" Li Jianxin asked curiously.
"Oh, her name is Lin Aoxue. I just saw her in the Sect Market. By the way, this Junior Sister Lin is a great beauty, and she also has a very beautiful and pure older sister." Jiang Hong felt a little restless at the thought of Ye Liuyun's charming eyes.
It's just that if this guy knew that the object of his restless desire was originally a big man, what do you think his reaction would be?
"Boring. Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed. Junior Brother, you are also a cultivator, don't you understand that you should stay away from female charms?" Li Jianxin admonished him, then entered his room.
Jiang Hong immediately rolled his eyes when Li Jianxin said such a thing.
"Hmph, you only have your sword in your eyes. Isn't it normal for men to like beautiful women?" Jiang Hong muttered to himself.
After speaking, he also left. But looking back at Li Jianxin, he closed the door, took a deep breath, then showed a hint of displeasure and resumed cultivation.
It was impossible to be completely indifferent, but Li Jianxin didn't necessarily insist on taking the Sect Master position. He just felt that the Sect seemed to have some prejudice against him.
Otherwise, why would they rather choose a successor from the new generation of disciples than choose him, the Head Disciple?
This was a matter of dignity and face. How many people in life don't care about face and dignity?
Clearly, Li Jianxin had not reached the level of being without desires.
