“I don’t agree!”

A gentle yet stern voice resounded in the sect leader’s hall. That voice made people feel like an elder sister was protecting her younger brother and sister.

Just hearing it made one feel good.

It was Su Lingyun’s voice. She no longer had a gentle look on her face, only a serious one.

However, since she made that determined look because of someone else, it made others feel her gentleness even more.

“We’re going to reach the Treasure Pavilion. We’ll have to pass through three big cities, and two of them are extremely dangerous. It’s already so difficult to move forward. Not to mention, after we leave the Treasure Pavilion, there will be thieves eyeing its treasures. I’m afraid there will be another bloodbath.”

Su Lingyun’s stern tone gradually became gentle as she looked at Su Wanyi gently. “My favorite little junior sister is here this time. I really don’t want her to encounter such danger.”

Su Lingyun’s words were reasonable and well-founded, and she was also considerate of others. Not only Su Wanyi but Qiao’er was also touched.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yun pouted his lips as Su Lingyun actually didn’t count him in.

Qiao’er did not expect Su Lingyun, Su Wanyi’s elder sister and the direct disciple who had been in closed-door cultivation for five years, to be so gentle. It was no wonder that Su Wanyi had been so eager to see her elder sister who had finally come out of closed-door cultivation.

Qiao’er turned her head and found that Su Wanyi was looking at Su Lingyun with complete admiration, clasping her hands together like a little fan girl.

“That’s so nice, such a gentle sister,” Qiao’er could not help but mention.

However, at that moment, both Zhou Yun and sect leader Ling Qingyun could not help but cover their faces with their hands.

They all knew that the reason why Su Lingyun spoke so righteously was that she had to pretend to be a gentle person when she was around others.

Su Lingyun thought it was too troublesome to keep up the facade, so she didn’t want the two of them to follow her. In the end, she still had to deal with the trouble.

Ling Qingyun looked at Zhou Yun, indicating for him to help.

In fact, Ling Qingyun was a little shocked by the letter she received from Su Lingyun the day before. Despite her character, Su Lingyun completely revealed her true nature to Zhou Yun and could drop her gentle facade with ease when with Zhou Yun.

Ling Qingyun was very curious about what had happened between Zhou Yun and Su Lingyun. But that was a matter for the future.

What Ling Qingyun had to do now was have Su Lingyun take them out of the valley to train their teamwork and also treat Su Lingyun’s illness.

Otherwise, Ling Qingyun didn’t have any confidence to win the Five Sects Tournament a month later.

Zhou Yun caught Ling Qingyun’s gaze, then saw Su Lingyun’s smile and determination to win.

“By the way, I have something on my mind.” Zhou Yun slowly raised his hand. As her smile froze, Su Lingyun turned her head and looked at Zhou Yun in disbelief.

She opened her mouth silently and anxiously signaled to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun knew that Su Lingyun was hinting at “spiritual sword.” He looked at Su Lingyun and then at the spiritual meal token in his hand. If Su Lingyun couldn’t take the three of them out of the valley, the token would be gone.

Su Lingyun could be betrayed. In any case, the spiritual meal token was worth more than a spiritual sword.

Furthermore, Zhou Yun did not plan to only choose one. He wanted both the spiritual sword from Su Lingyun and the spiritual meal token.

“For us cultivators, pursuing the Great Path passionately and freely should be the way to go. Although there are risks, the benefits are great. Not only can it train our chemistry with one another, but it will also reward us with spiritual meals after the experience. That alone is worth a shot! Think about it, it’s spiritual meals. And it’s even in the form of a spiritual meal token given by the sect leader.” Zhou Yun raised the token and pointed it at Su Wanyi.

He continued, “Don’t you want to try a spiritual meal, something you’ve never tried before?” Zhou Yun knew that Qiao’er would definitely support him. Therefore, as long as he managed to pull Su Wanyi over, it would be 3 against 1, rendering Su Lingyun’s objection useless.

“But…” Su Wanyi was in a dilemma. After all, she liked her sister very much and did not want her sister to worry. “I think I’ll pass. After all, my cultivation level is not high enough to leave the valley. I might just be a burden.”

Su Wanyi didn’t choose to go in the end.

Su Lingyun looked at Zhou Yun with a provocative smile. She knew her sister’s thoughts too well.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes at Su Lingyun, who was starting to be arrogant. He looked at Qiao’er, who immediately understood what he meant.

Qiao’er asked, “But don’t you want to feel protected by your favorite sister all the time?” Her voice was very soft, but everyone present was a cultivator, so they all heard her.

Su Lingyun’s face turned pale.

Meanwhile, as soon as Qiao’er stopped speaking, Su Wanyi’s serious voice rang out, “We cultivators should not fear difficulties, should overcome obstacles, and change our fate!”

“Good, good!” Ling Qingyun said “good” twice. She really hoped that her direct disciple could grow a little more during the trip. “Then, you should pack up and get ready to go out. I’ll get back to my work.” Ling Qingyun didn’t give Su Lingyun a chance to refute as she immediately dispersed the group.

“Wait, I have a question,” Zhou Yun stated.

Su Lingyun’s soulless eyes suddenly lit up. Su Lingyun looked at Zhou Yun and thought, “Could it be that he actually wants to help me?”

“That, what’s the Five Sects Tournament?” Zhou Yun asked what he had been wanting to ask.

Back when Zhou Yun was in the midst of foundation establishment, the Grand Elder had said that he would have to participate in some competition.

Moreover, Su Lingyun also mentioned the matter.

Now, Zhou Yun had finally asked.

“You didn’t tell him?” Ling Qingyun looked at Su Lingyun.

Su Lingyun turned her head. She had bumped into Zhou Yun on the first day, and her dark history was still replaying in her mind. The two of them had not even managed to exchange much words.

“The Five Sects Tournament is a competition set by the five large sects within a hundred miles of us,” Ling Qingyun explained. “In this era where spiritual energy is scarce, natural treasures are becoming rarer and rarer, and spiritual energy is becoming more and more precious. We don’t have the ability to bear the burden of a war between sects. Thus, whenever they discover treasures, the five sects will distribute them according to their value and sect circumstances. Only extremely valuable items will be decided through the Five Sects Tournament.

Zhou Yun gradually understood the significance of the Five Sects Tournament.

He began to feel curious. What kind of treasure was it that was worth the time and effort of the five sects to hold such a competition and fight for?

“Forget it. You’re all disciples representing the Spirit Valley, so there’s no harm in telling you.” Ling Qingyun could see Zhou Yun’s curiosity, so she did not hide anything.

Ling Qingyun added indifferently, “This time, the treasure is the Spiritual Heart Leaf, which allows one to face their true self. It’s especially effective on the inner demons unique to the golden core stage and a treasure that some cultivators urgently need.”

Then, Zhou Yun subconsciously looked at Su Lingyun.

He didn’t expect that Su Lingyun actually had an inner demon.
