”I can tell that this old man cultivates the power of water essence, and this old man can also tell you that basically everyone in the Thousand Illusion School cultivates the power of water essence. The power of water essence is gentle and continuous, and is the most suitable for dual cultivation, but that vein of the Gui Yun Sect is the vein of water essence.

So it turned out to be just a trade. But, he hadn't thought that the happiness of a disciple of the Thousand Illusionary Sect would only be worth a single stone.

Seeing my complex expression, Ouyang Yuan could roughly guess what I was thinking. He immediately said, ”You don't have to sigh. Once the Gui Yun Sect wins, the disciples they choose won't be people with outstanding talent. Once they enter the Gui Yun Sect, they will naturally not be short on Essence Stones. So this can be considered a win-win situation. Many disciples are still eager to be selected.”

My heart stirred as I asked, ”It should be the Gui Yun Sect's victory this time, right?” Could the person that they have chosen be Yue Qingsi? ”

Praise appeared in Ouyang Yuan's eyes. He nodded and said, ”That's right. The one who was chosen by the Gui Yun Sect's victor was that girl, Qing Si. However, she refused.”

”Reject? This kind of thing can be considered as a deal between two sects, so you probably can't reject it, right? ”

”No!” Ouyang Yuan shook his head. ”How can a single piece of fine stone compare to a single disciple?” Therefore, the people chosen by the Gui Yun Sect must be willing by both sides. ”

”Since Lady Yue has rejected it, isn't that fine? Why did you come?”

”Sigh, I also know Qingsi's personality. Naturally, I'm unwilling to lose one match, and even more so, I won't agree to use my happiness as the wager between the two sects, so I said that I would gamble for my own fate, and it would be easy for that person to bet three rounds. If he loses all three rounds, he would naturally agree to become a dao companion with her.”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. With Yue Qingsi's character, she indeed seemed like a person who could do such a thing.

”Which three rounds will it be?”

Ouyang Yuan had a helpless smile on his face as well. ”For this first match, I'll have to compete with that person and bet on watching the sun and moon. Whoever moves first loses.”

”Compete in strength? ”Lady Yue used to look up at the moon, and it would take her a few days to see it. But since she called me here, she must have lost. To be able to lose in this aspect, that person truly does have some skills.”

”Isn't that so? The two of them stood motionlessly on the mountaintop for more than a month. Finally, their hair fell down due to exhaustion. In the second round, Qing Yi will compete with that person in terms of alcohol consumption. ”

”Alcohol?” I was startled. When we were at the restaurant, Yue Qingsi had indeed drunk quite a bit, but cultivators could naturally use spiritual energy to disperse the alcohol. It didn't matter how much she drank.

”Qing Xin didn't even need to use her spiritual power to disperse the alcohol. Whoever drinks more will win. The two of them drank for an entire day and night, yet Qing Si was the first one to get drunk.”

Inwardly shaking her head, Yue Qingsi felt a bit too willful. She completely disregarded the consequences and still wanted to be a female hero. But now, she had completely snubbed herself.

”What about the third round? What do they want to compete in?”

Ouyang Yuan looked at me once more and slowly said, ”The third round is precisely the reason why I insist on having you here.”

”Oh?”

”Amongst the friends, the young generation can pick any one of them. Whoever is the strongest will win, and she will be the one to entrust her life's happiness to you!”

I frowned. I didn't expect that the third match would be this!

”She's throwing me this mess, isn't she?”

”Hehe, you shouldn't be disgracing yourself. Originally, if I didn't appear for another month, it would be considered as my loss. I didn't expect that I would come in the end. Isn't this fate?”

Seeing my bitter face, Ouyang Yuan laughed once more. ”Don't worry, Jushi. This girl Qingsi has been waiting for you day and night. This old woman has never seen her smile in the past year!” That person from the Gui Yun Sect has also been living in the Thousand Illusionary Sect for almost a year. He has a good temper, and besides some arrogance, everything else is pretty good, and every day he changes methods to make Qing Si happy. Qing Si's master Yuan Ziyu really likes that child, and in her heart, she really doesn't like you.

”You don't like me even though you haven't met me? ”It seems like I really shouldn't have come.”

Hearing the trace of displeasure in my tone, Ouyang Yuan quickly said, ”It's only right that I don't like you. Junior sister originally doted on and doted on Qingsi, but Qingsi had been haggard for your sake for so long and even gave up such great benefits. Master dotes on her disciple and wishes for her to have a good life.”

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly thought of that familiar aura from Qingyun Peak. I frowned and asked, ”Speaking of which, the person from the Gui Yun Sect who won two battles against Lady Yue, could it be someone called Yin Tianheng?”

When Ouyang Yuan heard this, he was surprised. ”It's him. Could it be that I know him?”

The corner of my mouth curled up in a cold smile. I whispered, ”Of course I know him. It seems that I really need to properly meet him …”
