71: Chapter 34 Attention from the Sect Leader_3 71: Chapter 34 Attention from the Sect Leader_3 Clearly, the recent Sect competition was so vivid and colorful that Father’s status within the Wanyun Sect had strengthened a bit more.
“Senior Brother,” Ningning Mu said by his side, “let’s go greet the ladies from Caiyun Peak!”
“You go ahead,” Li Ping’an instructed, “just stay over there for a while.
You might be targeted if you’re with me.”
Ningning Mu blinked and asked, “Aren’t you going over, Senior Brother?”
Their side was full of female disciples, and it would indeed be too conspicuous for him to join them.
“You’re also a disciple of Caiyun Peak.”
Holding back a smile, Ningning Mu leaned close to Li Ping’an’s ear and whispered in a mysterious tone:
“Yesterday, several Senior Sisters said they wanted to see you today.
They even prepared a welcome gift for the new disciples of Caiyun Peak for you!”
What kind of welcome gift?
Given Ningning Mu’s expression, Li Ping’an got the feeling it wasn’t anything too good.
Li Ping’an glanced over at the array of Caiyun Peak’s disciples.
The female disciples of Caiyun Peak occupied almost half of the eastern cloud wall.
At a glance, there was a gathering of beauties, slender and plump, like a blossoming of hundreds of flowers competing for attention.
These days, there were no unattractive female cultivators, only those too lazy to fine-tune their appearance.
“It’s not very convenient for me to go over, let’s forget it.”
Li Ping’an said softly:
“Junior Sister, can you handle it for me?
Just tell them that I will definitely visit Caiyun Peak after the competition.
“I’ll just wait here for the contest to begin.”
“Alright then,” Ningning Mu puffed out her cheeks, “I’ll just say that Senior Brother you are too shy, and it’s fine to give the welcome gift to me!”
Li Ping’an said, “Be attentive to the calls from the stewards.
We’ve risen from the list of ordinary disciples and should be among the first to take the stage.”
“Okay, then I’ll head over first.
See you in a bit, Senior Brother~”
Li Ping’an waved with a smile, and Ningning Mu drifted away.
The transition between Xuyun Peak and Caiyun Peak had been successfully completed.
The transition was really just the audience changing locations, the senior stewards carrying their chairs and tables to the assembly area of Caiyun Peak, followed by the arrival of the Master of Caiyun Peak encouraging the disciples.
That was the general process.
The rules of the Earth List competition were much more detailed than those of the Ordinary List, and these rules…
were made by Li Ping’an.
With the intention of Caiyun Peak, there were to be more rounds in the Earth List to liven up the atmosphere among the disciples at Caiyun Peak.
To meet the organizer’s small request and have the Earth List competition last longer, Li Ping’an drew from the esports competition rules he often watched.
Next, more than sixty disciples would first compete in six rounds of ‘point-based’ matches, which would produce the top thirty-two, followed by group round-robin matches to decide the top sixteen who would enter the final elimination rounds and championship bout.
Li Ping’an’s personal goal in this great competition was to break into the Heaven List, entering the top fifty.
Primarily to make his mentor happy.
‘Didn’t my mentor come?’
Li Ping’an looked around and quickly spotted the serene figure meditating in the corner of the viewing platform.
There was a half-yard radius around Qing Su that seemed to be a no-go zone, no one approached to exchange pleasantries, solitude surrounded by peaceful silence.
She didn’t seem to be very good at chatting with others.
Li Ping’an was still pondering when Wei Yan’er came by, squatting beside him, grabbed his arm, and whispered:
“Ping’an, do you want to kick off the first match?
You know, set the tone and all.
“All the Elders from within the Sect are watching.
If your Light Condensation Realm continues to overcome the strong with the weak, you’ll definitely leave an even deeper impression on the Immortals of the Sect.
“Over there, you have all the female disciples of Caiyun Peak…
and you look really dashing when you wield your spear.”
“Elder, let’s stick to the rules and draw lots.”
Li Ping’an was somewhat amused.
He wasn’t some lustful ghost, nor was he of the age where he wanted to show off in front of the opposite sex.
Ah, what a great opportunity it was!”
Wei Yan’er looked regretful and departed gracefully.
No sooner had the senior steward left than Li Ping’an was about to continue his meditation when a whisper suddenly reached his ears.
He didn’t recognize the unfamiliar voice.
The mysterious voice said:
“Little Ping’an, give it your all in the Earth List battles.
If you can make it into the top ten, this poor Daoist will reward you with a few treasures later on.”
Calling him Little Ping’an like that, was that polite?
Just then, the gong sounded, shaking the heavens and earth, while the melodious sounds of stringed music wafted through the clouds.
The Earth List battle had officially begun!
