"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Mu Ruo asked with concern.
“Yes, Senior Sister. Song Huai’an’s giant sword was incredibly powerful just now. We thought you wouldn’t be able to withstand it.” Meng Qingyue’s tone was somewhat tense. He felt terrified when he recalled the situation.
Looking at the junior brothers and sisters surrounding her, Xie Wanning, though still feeling a slight pain in her wound, forced a smile and reassured everyone: "It's alright, I'm right here, aren't I? Besides, I took that sword strike to lower Song Huai'an's guard so that he would stop and I would have a chance to strike."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that their senior sister was really brave, managing to hold on even in such a critical situation.
Xie Wanning lowered her head, smiling but saying nothing.
As she recalled the scene of the competition, her hands trembled involuntarily.
At that moment, she picked up the Plum Blossom Sword and slashed out several times to slow down the giant sword. She then picked up the sword to prepare to withstand the giant sword head-on.
Unexpectedly, the Cold Plum Sword could not withstand the power of the giant sword and broke on the spot.
Xie Wanning's shoulder was cut by the sword energy of the giant sword, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm.
Just when she thought she was going to pay the price with her life for her misjudgment, the Luoze Sword suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the giant sword's attack for her. Moreover, when the giant sword transformed into countless flying swords, the Luoze Sword quickly resisted, blocking the fierce flying swords for her and allowing her to survive.
The thought still sent shivers down Xie Wanning's spine. She was lucky she hadn't been riddled with holes if it weren't for Luo Zejian.
It's best to be more cautious in your actions in the future.
"Alright, alright, you bunch of little brats, stop disturbing Xiaolin's rest. She has a martial arts competition tomorrow." Lin Xuanjin pretended to be fierce and chased away all the disciples who were surrounding Xie Wanning and asking her all sorts of questions.
Only Xie Wanning and Lin Xuanjin remained in the room.
Lin Xuanjin watched the disciples leave, closed the door, turned his head and saw Xie Wanning smiling. He frowned and said in a stern and reprimanding tone, "Xu Weilin, you have disappointed your teacher today."
Xie Wanning pointed to herself, her face full of doubt, and asked, "Master, what...did I do something wrong today?"
"You did a terrible job in every way." Lin Xuanjin's eyes were filled with barely concealed anger, and his words were overflowing with rage and blame.
Xie Wan Ning lowered her head guiltily, seriously considering where she went wrong in today's competition: Was it because she failed to counter Song Huai An's moves in time? Or was it because she was careless and failed to dodge Song Huai An's first move of the Qingyun Sword Technique? Or did she surrender and lose the competition in the end?
When Xie Wan Ning was the senior disciple of Qingyun Sect, Yan Ze always spoke coldly to her, never showing her any emotion other than his aloof and unapproachable demeanor. Only when it came to Ye Qian Qian's matter would Yan Ze criticize her a few times; otherwise, whether dealing with Qingyun Sect affairs or practicing swordsmanship, Yan Ze usually didn't want to say a word, leaving everything to Xie Wan Ning. Therefore, Xie Wan Ning was still quite unaccustomed to Lin Xuan Jin's frequent visits to show concern for her, including today's sudden reprimand; she didn't know how to respond.
It was clearly a common matter between master and disciple, but Xie Wanning didn't know how to handle it.
Xie Wanning cautiously raised her head, hesitated, and finally closed her eyes, then asked, "Master, are you disappointed because I didn't win the swordsmanship competition?"
Lin Xuanjin stared at Xie Wanning in disbelief; he simply couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Is he that kind of person? How could he possibly be that kind of person?!
Lin Xuanjin gritted his teeth in anger, and finally slapped Xie Wanning hard on the back of the head. His tone was full of helplessness and annoyance at Xu Weilin's lack of understanding: "What are you thinking? Do you think I care so much about rankings? As long as you little brats are safe and sound, I won't object to throwing a big banquet to welcome you back."
Seeing Xie Wanning's confused expression, Lin Xuanjin blushed with anger. In the end, he could only silently recite the Heart-Clearing Mantra to calm himself down and slowly analyze Xie Wanning's mistakes today.
“Xu Weilin, you knew that the giant sword was difficult to withstand today, yet you still forced your way through. I was on the viewing platform, constantly monitoring your spiritual power. When the giant sword struck you, your spiritual power was barely perceptible. I was really anxious at that time and almost went down from the platform to save you.”
"Moreover, even when you were seriously injured, you still insisted on fighting Song Huai'an to the death. Song Huai'an is just a teenager and can't use his innate sword body properly. Those hundreds of sword blades almost pierced through your body. Do you know that? If it weren't for my intervention, you would have been in real danger."
"Xiaolin, you must always remember that fame, money, and power are all external things. Your safety and well-being are the most important things, and they are also my greatest wish." Lin Xuanjin spoke too much at once and was a little out of breath.
When he looked at Xie Wanning, he saw that the girl's eyes were red and tears had already blurred her vision.
"Master!" Xie Wanning cried out involuntarily, throwing herself into Lin Xuanjin's arms and sobbing uncontrollably.
"You, you child." Lin Xuanjin sighed helplessly, gently stroking Xie Wanning's head.
"Next time, be more careful and don't be so reckless." Lin Xuanjin chuckled, then casually called out, "Hey you guys behind the door, stop hiding and come in."
The door opened.
With a loud crash, Meng Qingyue, Mu Ruo, Mu Zhi, and Qi Shaozhuo lost their footing and fell together.
Meng Qingyue, who was at the very bottom of the cushion, cried out miserably, "Get up! Get up! It's too heavy!"
Mu Zhi slapped Meng Qingyue in annoyance, and Meng Qingyue felt his head buzzing.
Mu Zhi put her hands on her hips and pouted, "Who are you calling heavy? Second Senior Brother, I've been on a diet lately!"
Meng Qingyue stood up and smiled sheepishly, "How could Third Junior Sister be heavy? It's because Senior Brother is too weak. I will definitely exercise more in the future, hehe!" As he spoke, he scratched his head.
With a "pfft," Xie Wanning was amused and burst out laughing.
The somber atmosphere inside the room was broken, and everyone, facing each other, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, Lin Xuanjin's face turned serious, and his tone carried a severe warning: "You all heard that, right? From now on, each of you must pay attention to your own safety and never take any more risks."
"Ah."
The disciples answered in unison.
"Alright, alright. There's a competition tomorrow, so don't stay up late, go back to sleep." Lin Xuanjin waved his hand, and the disciples obediently returned to their rooms to sleep.
Xie Wanning slept very well that night, without insomnia or nightmares, and without even frowning once.
Have a good night's sleep.

"Elder, we have searched all the disciples responsible for providing food for the spirit beasts, but we have not found anyone who mixed the Mad Demon Grass into the spirit herbs," a disciple said timidly.
"How is this possible?!" Elder Zhao slammed his hand on the table, his face turning ashen.
Three days have passed since the Mad Demon Grass incident. Although Qingyun Sect quickly blocked all news and successfully controlled all the berserk spirit beasts, Wanshou Valley, together with other sects, has been putting pressure on Qingyun Sect, determined to find the disciple who put in the Mad Demon Grass.
The sect leader and peak masters of Qingyun Sect also attached great importance to this matter. The fact that they were able to put Mad Demon Grass into the food of all the spirit beasts shows that this spy had been stationed in Qingyun Sect for a long time and his power was terrifying.
However, the three-day search yielded no results, which naturally worried Elder Zhao.
"Elder Zhao, there is one more thing." The disciple who reported this trembled and dared not speak.
"Speak!" Elder Zhao roared, his voice booming, and his imposing aura instantly descended upon the disciple.
The disciple suppressed the urge to vomit blood and hurriedly said, "A disciple discovered the body of a female cultivator on Fu Peak. After confirmation, it was identified as Mo Shiyu, an inner disciple of Bibo Court."
"What!" Elder Zhao almost lost his balance and nearly fell off his chair.
A grand sect competition was underway, but countless undercurrents were brewing beneath the surface.
