Chapter 621: Call Me Qingcheng
Various dramatic rumors circulated about how Ye Wenxin had unsuccessfully pursued Jin Xiaoqin and even attempted suicide. All sorts of melodramatic tales became fodder for people's imaginations.
Ye Wenxin found it amusing, while the male disciples were ecstatic. Seeing Jin Xiaoqin's willingness to take on disciples, they eagerly tried to catch her attention.
Previously, Jin Xiaoqin had merely been an elder of the Teaching Hall, but now she was the Sect Master of Cangyu Sect, her status greatly elevated. Simply put, not only was Jin Xiaoqin beautiful, but she was also the most promising sect master among the immortal sects - a prime target in everyone's eyes.
Jin Xiaoqin should have been happy about no longer having to worry about Fairy Feng Ya stealing her disciples, but Ye Wenxin sensed that once Jin Xiaoqin chose a third true disciple, she might be expelled from the sect.
"Should I strike first and betray the sect?" Ye Wenxin contemplated a new idea. Since Fairy Feng Ya had always been the scapegoat, why not let her truly take the blame this time and cleanly sever all ties?
As Ye Wenxin considered asking Fairy Feng Ya for help, she suddenly heard someone calling her. Looking up, she saw the junior brothers who had been surrounding Jin Xiaoqin running over.
"Senior Sister Ye, the Sect Master said whoever among us defeats you can become the third true disciple." Ye Wenxin was speechless, having forgotten that no matter how Jin Xiaoqin changed, she remained as direct as ever.
Based on everyone's perception of Ye Wenxin, she might not even be able to handle outer sect disciples, so there were many contenders for becoming Jin Xiaoqin's true disciple. Seeing these junior brothers approach aggressively, Ye Wenxin knew she couldn't escape. She made a welcoming gesture.
"Then you can all come at once." What followed was her swift ending of these junior brothers' delusions, displaying Ye Wenxin's most arrogant demeanor.
Jin Xiaoqin watched intently, as if searching for some clue in Ye Wenxin's actions. Ye Wenxin met her gaze directly, giving her a slight ceremonial bow.
She smiled, showing both her defiance and pride, attempting to provoke Jin Xiaoqin into revealing the true answer.
Jin Xiaoqin paused briefly, then turned and left.
Initially, Ye Wenxin thought the matter of Jin Xiaoqin seeking a true disciple had concluded, but as news spread, Ye Wenxin's life gained a new form of entertainment - dealing with challengers.
More and more disciples came to challenge her, with Ye Wenxin easily winning through speed alone. The challengers' ranks grew increasingly higher, leading to Ye Wenxin encountering challenges every few steps.
Day after day, even in her dreams, she could hear other disciples shouting.
"Junior Sister Ye, XXX from XX division comes to challenge!"
"Senior Sister Ye, XXX from XX division comes to spar!"
Seeing another crowd of challengers gathering outside, Ye Wenxin grew weary. She finally decided to seek out Jin Xiaoqin privately to ask her to stop this behavior. But Jin Xiaoqin kept avoiding her, forcing Ye Wenxin to appear in the dead of night.
