Pu Xing Yu and Yu Zhao stopped at a secluded area within the Seven Stars Sect.

“Senior Yu Zhao, please forgive me for making you witness such a scene,” Pu Xing Yu said politely.

Despite her sharp attitude when facing Elder Luo, Pu Xing Yu appeared exceptionally well-behaved in front of Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao studied Pu Xing Yu quietly for a moment before asking, “What are you planning to do next?”

Having openly fallen out with the Grand Elder, Pu Xing Yu’s future in the Seven Stars Sect would likely be difficult.

Pu Xing Yu, however, remained composed. “Senior Yu Zhao, please don’t worry. I know the Grand Elder well. He values his reputation greatly and wouldn’t dare make further moves against me.”

It was precisely because of the Grand Elder’s nature that Pu Xing Yu had decided to confront him so publicly.

Seeing that Pu Xing Yu had already considered her fallback plan, Yu Zhao grew even more certain that Pu Xing Yu was the right person for the task.

Pu Xing Yu blinked in surprise, then her eyes brightened with excitement. “Please, Senior Yu Zhao, tell me what you need.”

“Are you aware that there is a spirit stone vein beneath the Seven Stars Sect?”

“A spirit stone vein?!” Pu Xing Yu exclaimed, quickly lowering her voice as she shook her head. “The Grand Elder never mentioned anything about it to me.”

Yu Zhao wasn’t surprised by this. The spirit vein was the lifeline of the Seven Stars Sect, and the Grand Elder would never divulge such critical information—not even to a blood-related granddaughter.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with how I know about it,” Yu Zhao continued. “I can only tell you this: someone has already set their sights on the Seven Stars Sect. You must find a way to stop them from stealing the vein.”

“M-me?” Pu Xing Yu stood frozen, dumbfounded.

Wasn’t Senior Yu Zhao overestimating her abilities?

“Yes, you,” Yu Zhao affirmed. “Among those who know about this, you are the only one from the Seven Stars Sect. You’re the only one I can entrust with this.”

“But, Senior Yu Zhao, wouldn’t it be better to inform the Sect Master?” Pu Xing Yu asked, thinking this was a more reliable solution.

Yu Zhao countered, “Do you really think the Sect Master would believe me if I told him?”

Pu Xing Yu was no fool. After a moment of thought, she understood Yu Zhao’s concerns.

However, she was not accustomed to being at the center of such significant events. Her heart raced with anxiety. Still, meeting Yu Zhao’s trusting gaze, she gritted her teeth. “Senior Yu Zhao, I will do my best.”

“I believe in you.” Yu Zhao paused before adding, “I don’t know when the people targeting the vein will act or how they plan to do it. You’ll need to make your own decisions. No matter the outcome, I need you to send me a message at the Five Elements Dao Sect to inform me of the process and results. This is crucial to me.”

Pu Xing Yu nodded resolutely and agreed without hesitation.

With her long-standing concerns resolved and her revenge from a past life fulfilled, Yu Zhao felt a rare lightness in her heart.

When she met Sect Master Tian Shu again, a faint smile lingered on her face, startling him so much that he abandoned his prepared speech and rephrased it into something more indirect and apologetic.

In essence, he offered an apology on behalf of the Grand Elder while subtly urging her to leave.

Perhaps fearing Yu Zhao might stir up further trouble, he even prepared a lavish gift for her.

Yu Zhao had intended to leave anyway and readily accepted the gesture, though she declined the Sect Master’s gift.

If she took the gift after publicly defeating the Grand Elder, leaving him spitting blood and unconscious, rumors would undoubtedly paint her as a bully exploiting her power for wealth. Her reputation would be ruined.

On the day of her departure, Sect Master Tian Shu and several elders of the Seven Stars Sect almost cried with joy as they escorted her down the mountain. Even after her figure vanished from sight, they lingered for a long while, reluctant to leave.

Standing at the back of the group, Pu Xing Yu furrowed her brows.

Where exactly was the sect’s spirit vein? And how was she supposed to stop someone from stealing it?

…

[Ding! Host, a high-quality target for your strategy has appeared. Please take action immediately!]

[Ding! Host, a high-quality target for your strategy has appeared. Please take action immediately!]

[Ding! Host, a high-quality target for your strategy has appeared. Please take action immediately!]

The system’s urgent alerts roused Ye Cong Xin from her meditation.

Instead of irritation, her face lit up with excitement.

“System, who is the target, and where are they now?” she asked eagerly.

[Ding! The high-quality target is Quan Ye, who has awakened the Azure Dragon bloodline. He is about to arrive at the Five Elements Dao Sect. Host, please proceed with your strategy immediately!]

“The Azure Dragon bloodline!”

A flush of excitement brightened Ye Cong Xin’s pale face.

So, Quan Ye was a descendant of the Azure Dragon!

Ye Cong Xin had always wondered how someone as simple-minded and physically strong as Quan Ye could possess such great fortune. Compared to her other senior brothers, his flaws were far too apparent, making him an unlikely candidate for dominance.

It all made sense now—he was benefiting from his ancestral legacy.

She smirked disdainfully and then chuckled softly.

If she could conquer someone as unpredictable as Lan Zi Yu, how could she fail to deal with a pig-headed brute like Quan Ye?

Ye Cong Xin rose leisurely, changed into a light blue dress, and adjusted her appearance to look innocent and pure before heading straight to the sect gates.

Before long, the figures of Master Qing Yan, Su Ming, and Quan Ye appeared outside the gates.

The disciples on duty turned to Ye Cong Xin with admiration. “Junior Sister Ye, you truly share a special bond with Master Qing Yan. They have indeed returned.”

Ye Cong Xin smiled modestly and stepped forward to greet them.

“Master, Third Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother.”

“Junior Sister, did you come here just to welcome us?” Su Ming asked, pleasantly surprised.

“Yes, Third Senior Brother. Are you happy to see me?”

“Happy? Of course, I’m happy! Junior Sister, I even brought a gift for you. I’ll give it to you in a bit.”

Before Su Ming could finish speaking, a cold snort interrupted him.

Su Ming’s expression darkened. “Quan Ye, I’m talking to Junior Sister. What does it have to do with you?”

“I snorted. How is that any of your business?” Quan Ye retorted.

The two had been at odds throughout their journey and neither was willing to back down.

If anyone else had accompanied them, they might have tried to mediate, but Master Qing Yan remained indifferent, enjoying the silence.

As a result, their pent-up animosity erupted before Ye Cong Xin.

The two glared at each other fiercely, as if ready to fight.

“Third Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, please don’t act like this…” Ye Cong Xin looked between them, feigning helplessness while secretly rejoicing.

Their conflict allowed her to mediate, increasing her interaction with both and making it easier to win their favor.

Who was right or wrong didn’t matter. What mattered was that they would reconcile because of her.

Meanwhile, a dormant soul stirred within Qing Yan’s consciousness and spoke coldly: “Qing Yan, I’ve warned you before. Ye Cong Xin is a menace. Her mere presence stirs conflict among your disciples. One day, they will pay a heavy price because of her—and so will you.”

Irritation flickered in Qing Yan’s eyes as he listened to the voice.
