Chapter 2515

Zhu Yanyi realized that the blue-robed Daoist’s face was now completely lost. She stared at her calmly. Since she had tried to scheme against her, she must be prepared for her counterattack.

"I do not know your name," Zhu Yanyi said. "But if you want to bet, the stakes must follow my rules."

"Little girl, do you not think your words are too aggressive? This will not benefit you if it spreads." The blue-robed Daoist reminded her unconsciously.

"If others do not offend me, I do not offend them. If they offend me, I will fight back. It is simple logic. Dare you swear to heaven and earth that your bet had no trick?" Zhu Yanyi’s lips curled in a slight sneer. She wondered if she had appeared too weak, making people think she was easy to bully.

The blue-robed Daoist sighed deeply. "Little girl, when traveling, one must know when to yield."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Friend, have you forgotten we are cultivators? Cultivators do not need to yield. We only need to move forward bravely. Why do you think yielding is better?"

Her words paused the blue-robed Daoist. He realized his understanding might be wrong.

Zhu Yanyi spoke softly, "Also, remember, what you see is only what we want you to see."

Her words sounded mysterious and unexpected. But Zhu Yanyi knew one thing: no matter what, one must face things directly, especially with someone like the blue-robed Daoist.

The blue-robed Daoist could not refute her. As a sword cultivator, he wanted to recruit them but did not want to push too hard.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. She said nothing more. Her disciples were not easy to steal. She trusted them, but she also wanted them to know: as disciples of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, she would always protect them.

The blue-robed Daoist sighed. "I spoke wrongly." Sword cultivators were rigid. Recruiting people was not their style. she accepted her rejection.

This was why Zhu Yanyi dared to confront her. Although she was the Queen of the Underworld, currently she was just a small medical immortal. If she did not know a person’s character, she would not dare to argue. But she knew this man was a sword cultivator.

To be a qualified sword cultivator was hard. The sword path was noble. Small-minded acts were forbidden. So Zhu Yanyi confronted her openly. The blue-robed Daoist did not get angry; instead, she reflected on herself.

Indeed, he reflected. He knew he was wrong. He touched his nose and said nothing.

Even though he thought the Sword Palace had a high chance of winning, he did not dare to act rashly. He did not want to lose face for the Sword Palace.

Seeing the ten disciples, including Cui Wan, he sighed again. It was unbelievable. He still felt reluctant, but he knew they had no fate with the Sword Palace.

"Nothing." Seeing the blue-robed Daoist admit her mistake, Zhu Yanyi did not press further. This was actually good for them. At least Cui Wan and the others now knew they were seen as having great talent.

This did not make them proud. Instead, it made them think deeply. They were orphans. They had experienced sect recruitment tests before. They had been rejected.

If they had the talent the blue-robed Daoist saw, they would never have stayed in the orphanage so long.

Their good luck came only after joining the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. This meant the sect gave them everything. Thinking of this, they looked at Zhu Yanyi with curious eyes.

They wanted to know what changes had happened to their bodies.

After eating, the blue-robed Daoist left with regret. But he was not fully convinced, so he left his contact method before leaving.

Although they had almost argued over the disciples, the blue-robed Daoist did not hold a grudge.

"Master." After she left, Cui Wan approached. She wanted to ask but did not know how to start.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Cui Wan. She asked for more snake soup and blew on it. "Are you curious about your current talent?"

"Why did that senior want to recruit us? We know our talent is poor. When sects came to the orphanage, they checked us. If we had the amazing talent he saw, we would not have lived in the orphanage for so long."

Cui Wan was very rational. She slowly voiced her doubts.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Cui Wan, you are smart. You are indeed suitable to be the eldest senior sister."

"Master~" Cui Wan looked at her.

Zhu Yanyi swallowed a spoonful of snake soup. "When you came to the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, your talent was near zero. Not just you, but the junior brothers and sisters who came later were the same. I brought you back not because your talent was high, but because I could make your talent high."

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Cui Wan. "The Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect is a medicine and pill cultivation sect. Such methods are not rare. But our sect is still small, so we cannot be too famous. That is why I hid the sect.

This time, I only brought you ten out. Otherwise, if other sects knew all our disciples had talent like yours, and all one hundred thousand disciples were the same, it would bring disaster to the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. That is why I always require you to have self-protection abilities before leaving."
