Soon after, Liu Zhenxin returned, and the number she held was the last one.
One is first, the other is last—such a stark contrast.
Xunmi sneered inwardly. Did they want to use those people to weaken Han Shuang's fighting strength and then reap the benefits in the end?
Don't you even consider whether she allows it? Even if Han Shuang was exhausted earlier, one bottle of nutrient solution from her would immediately make her lively and energetic again.
When disciples compete, a leader is also needed.
Especially since they usually represent people with exceptionally strong abilities, it was placed on the last day.
Xunmi watched Ouyang Hanshuang dominate the stage and smiled with satisfaction.
That's how the female lead should be; anyone who dares to stand in her way should be killed first.
Ouyang Hanshuang truly lived up to her promise, setting up a small illusion for herself as soon as she stepped onto the stage.
Incidentally, some itchy powder was added to it, which was also the work of Xunmi.
She was responsible for providing the ideas, and the master provided the final product.
The feeling of being in cahoots with someone is simply wonderful.
So when everyone thought that Ouyang Hanshuang, a woman they had never even heard of, would be easy to deal with.
She got herself inside first, and Ouyang Hanshuang just sat on the stage the whole time.
Clutching a handful of pills, he ate them like candy while watching the people outside fight to the death.
Anyone who's feeling down and gets close to her will immediately enter a hallucination and their whole body will start turning red.
After this happened repeatedly, very few people came to her anymore.
Ouyang Hanshuang was also happy to relax, and would occasionally offer a few comments.
Xunmi watched from below the stage, her face contorted with utter despair. She suddenly realized that Han Shuang had truly surpassed her teacher.
Even her master doesn't act this pretentious, but why does it feel so good to watch?
"That's cheating, it doesn't count."
"Yeah, this is so against the rules."
"If everyone did it this way, wouldn't it be chaos?"
"If you're so capable, then show us your true abilities. What do you mean by this?"
"Liuguang Sect, you are really going too far."
The spectators were outraged; such opportunistic behavior was undoubtedly a sign of their contempt.
Especially since people could give away large quantities of pills at once, it was incredibly enviable.
Those who are elders or sect leaders may have plenty of resources, but they are definitely not this extravagant.
Xuan Guang's face stiffened; he was also annoyed by his junior apprentice.
It's not that he's like those people, but that he thinks the same way as Xunmi.
He'd never been so pretentious before; he was so envious.
Especially when I saw my junior disciple eating the pills like candy, I almost swore.
You said you didn't expend any energy at all, so why did you take any pills?
Even if you're going to eat it, don't provoke such hatred.
He was envious too, okay?
"Sect Leader Liuguang, you must give us an explanation."
Once it happens, it will happen again. Many people will condemn it together, while others will remain on the sidelines.
Xuan Guang was very unhappy. What kind of explanation was that? He himself was still trying to ask his junior sister for some pills.
Asking him for an explanation is just asking for the utterly insane behavior of these people.
"Has our Liuguang Sect violated the rules of the tournament? Has our Liuguang Sect engaged in any underhanded tactics?"
"Has our Liuguang Sect engaged in any malicious targeting? What explanation do you want?"
With a flick of her sleeve, Xunmi instantly unleashed an invisible aura that made her entire being fierce and imposing.
Xuan Guang inwardly applauded Xun Mi, huh, for letting these people dare to target their Liuguang Sect.
Perhaps they were intimidated by the aura of a high-level expert that Xunmi unintentionally emanated, and even if they still had grievances, they subsided a little.
However, there are clearly some people who fail to see the situation clearly, such as Liu Huiran.
He had overheard what Xunmi had said earlier, but hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.
But now, seeing Ouyang Hanshuang leisurely eating pills on the stage, he immediately became unhappy.
Thinking of the search for the Great Elixir of Rejuvenation for the Ancestor, he made a plan in his mind.
"Since you have so many pills, how can you waste them like this?"
"Didn't you see that many members of the Liu family were also injured? Have your apprentice go and give them some."
Without any hesitation, Liu Huiran believed that Liu Xunmi was his daughter, and she should listen to and do whatever he said.
His voice wasn't loud, but he didn't laugh either.
The scene fell completely silent, everyone stunned by Liu Huiran's shamelessness.
The news of Liu Xunmi's expulsion from the Liu family was personally announced by Liu Huiran and communicated to all sects and families.
Now he's so brazenly asking a daughter he ruthlessly kicked out for precious elixirs.
They felt a strange sense of bewilderment, wondering whether Liu Huiran was stupid or Liu Xunmi was incompetent.
Xunmi let out a cold laugh: "Heh..."
She felt her worldview was about to be reshaped again: "May I ask, Patriarch Liu, who are you?"
"What does this have to do with me? Why would I give my pills to someone I don't even know and who is irrelevant to me?"
"Where do you get such confidence? How can you be so shameless?"
Damn it, I really want to punch him right now.
He's a complete lunatic, a delusional lunatic at that.
"That's right. My master is a guest elder of the Liuguang Sect, and he has nothing to do with your Liu family."
On stage, Ouyang Hanshuang immediately chimed in, her gaze towards Liu Huiran growing increasingly hostile.
I've said it so many times, why are there still so many self-righteous flies crawling up here?
Xuan Guang and Tian Xuan also looked uneasy. Was this a blatant attempt to steal people from their Liu Guang Sect?
Not to mention that they all really liked this junior sister, even if she were just an ordinary member of the Liuguang Sect, they wouldn't allow outsiders to bully her.
"Patriarch Liu, you should be careful with your words to avoid misunderstandings."
Liu Huiran frowned impatiently, his tone becoming sharp, "Since she, Liu Xunmi, has the surname Liu, she is a member of my Liu family."
"What, I can't even order my own daughter around anymore?"
See? Sure enough, this daughter is no less troublesome than Xiao Xin. If it were a situation like this, she would definitely have stood on my side long ago.
How could they collude with outsiders to deal with me? They are truly unfilial.
"What a joke! When did you, the head of the Liu family, ever have a daughter named Liu Xunmi?"
"I suppose everyone here only knows that the daughter of the Liu family head is named Liu Zhenxin. Since you, the Liu family head, think that having the surname Liu means you are a member of the Liu family."
"Then we don't need this surname."
Xunmi was so angry she laughed. It's really a shame the original owner had such an awful father.
"Patriarch Liu, please don't force me to take back my promise to protect the Liu family for ten years. I am a woman, not a gentleman."
Does not care? Do you really think she's a pushover who can be bullied at will?
Liu Huiran was embarrassed; he felt that Liu Xunmi was making him look bad in public.
"Liu Xunmi, do you think that once you leave the Liu family, who will dare to protect you?"
"Without my Liu family, you are nothing."
Clearly, Liu Huiran still hasn't kept in mind the fact that Xunmi is already a half-step Spirit Venerable.
