The eldest brother said, "Fairy Xueli needs to remember the name first. I will take you there."

Xue Li naturally agreed.

The place to record visitors and sign up for the Xinglin Society was on the main peak. Just as Ah Jin had said, the inn chosen for her by the eldest senior brother was very convenient for travel and not far from the main peak. The five of them flew for a while and soon arrived.

However, as soon as they landed at the main peak, they ran into several red-clothed disciples.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Fang?"

The eldest brother and his companions originally just wanted to say hello and leave, and directly took Xueli to register. However, after only a few steps, the red-clothed disciples came to greet them.

The red-robed disciples and the green-robed disciples all wore the same style of clothing, simple medical attire and hair bands, only the color of the clothing was different. The red-robed disciples' clothing was red, and because they had been worn for a long time, it had become slightly dull, like the setting sun reflected in the water, making the water light smudged.

The three of them were traveling together, one of them had his hands clasped lazily in his sleeves, and the three of them walked with a somewhat arrogant look, and although they had bright smiles on their faces, they looked malicious.

One of them laughed and said, "Big Brother is finally back. There is only less than a month left until the Xinglin Conference. We were saying that your Qingyi Sect was so confident this year, but now we can't even see a trace of him. Big Brother might be waiting for the day before the Xinglin Conference to appear like a god descending from the sky!"

Another person said, "The elder brother is very busy and is sent out to do things by the elders whenever he has nothing to do. How can he be the same as us idle people? Besides, the Qingyi Sect is very advanced. The entire West Peak is devoted to cultivation all day long. You can't see them except for attending classes and picking herbs. Although the Xinglin Association has lost four sessions in a row, it is still different from us ordinary people. Maybe they don't care about this ranking at all."

One of the people said, "Let's get back to the point. Speaking of which, the Qingyi Sect usually either stays at home or is busy as a top. How did the eldest brother find time to come to the main peak today?"

The eldest brother was not very angry after hearing all their sarcasm. He just bowed and explained, "Brothers, you are joking. We just came back from outside. We came here today just to bring the guest to the main peak to record her name and take her around Xinglin Peak later."

"This is really strange. The Qingyi Sect actually has visitors?"

One of the red-clothed disciples sneered, his words hinting at something.

He said, "Everyone knows that since Qingyi sent out Xinglin Peak fifteen years ago, it has been extremely embarrassing, and it is usually deserted. Where can you get it from-"

The Red Robe Sect disciple wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Xue Li standing behind him, the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

Xueli followed the others and left the little tiger in the yard. Because she didn't know the way, she fell behind without realizing it. There were three tall and strong male disciples in green clothes blocking the way. At first, the red-clothed disciples were only concerned with looking at the green-clothed disciples and talking to the eldest brother. They didn't notice that they were followed by a female guest from Xinglin Peak. When they heard the eldest brother say that he was bringing guests, the three red-clothed disciples subconsciously stretched their necks to look for them.

They were just planning to take a quick look, and subconsciously thought that the people brought back by the Qingyi Sect were probably casual cultivators picked up from somewhere, and that it was no big deal. But once they saw them, they immediately felt unwell!

Its flower is bright and shining, like the clear moon.

Xueli stood there quietly. She had a beautiful face. Even though she had intentionally reduced her fairy-like aura before leaving the house, she still couldn't hide her otherworldly appearance. When they saw Xueli, they were immediately dazzled, and the first thought in their minds was "This is a fairy."

Then, they felt the fairy aura on Xue Li that was different from that on other people. She was indeed a fairy.

The red-clothed disciples never expected that the green-clothed disciples would go out and bring back a fairy without saying anything. All the ridicule they had intended to say was stuck in their stomachs. The red-clothed sect had suppressed the green-clothed sect in Xinglin Peak for so long that these younger disciples thought that the world was supposed to be this way. They usually didn't respect the green-clothed sect very much, and would even make some sarcastic remarks when they were in a bad mood. Now, in front of the green-clothed disciples and the fairy they brought back, they wanted to say a few words to save their image in front of the fairies, but they racked their brains and didn't know what to say.

This was Xue Li's first time out of the mountains. She didn't communicate much with outsiders before, but she could hear the tension in the conversation between Qing Yi and Chi Yi. She didn't know what this had to do with her, and looked a little confused.

They stared into Xue Li's confused gaze and were stunned for a long time.

The Red Clothes Clan member was holding it in for a long time, but in the end he couldn't think of anything to say, so the man said, "Awesome, you guys are awesome!"

"But just wait and see! This time, the Xinglin Association is still won by our Red Clothes Sect!"

"Master Uncle is so strong, he will definitely not lose to anyone!"

After saying that, they left a sentence "This, this time you guys are awesome", and even forgot to say hello to Xue Li. The three of them pushed each other and ran away in a hurry, not forgetting to look back at Xue Li a few times while running. Soon they fled in panic and flew out of the main peak with the wind.

Even the eldest brother didn't expect the Red Clothes Sect's people to run so fast this time. He thought they would have to fight for a while longer. He stared at the three Red Clothes Sect's backs running away in a daze. Then he bowed to Xueli awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, Fairy."

"Humph! A paper tiger! Let them look down on us!"

Ah Jin rolled his eyes at the direction the three people were walking.

She started to get angry as soon as the three opponents showed up at her door, but everyone knew that she was a little firecracker that would explode at any time, so the two senior brothers held her down from behind, preventing her from rushing out. When she was about to be held down, she never expected such a thing to happen.

Ah Jin suddenly became energetic.

She was a person who could not hide her secrets, and she had conflicts with the Red Shirt Faction often, but she always lost more than she won. This was the first time she saw the Red Shirt Faction, who were always tough, running so quickly. She had never thought that she could win so easily, and she felt relieved from head to toe.

Ah Jin immediately saw that Xue Li was even more affectionate than before, and happily put his arm around Xue Li's.

Xueli was confused by the scene before her. She asked, "Are all the people from the Red Clothes Sect like this?"

The eldest brother quickly shook his head and said, "How is that possible? There are many different people. There are also people with good personalities in the Red Clothes Sect. Sometimes after a quarrel, someone will come to apologize to us in private. There are also people in the Green Clothes Sect who will take the initiative to provoke the Red Clothes Sect. But now it is true that the Green Clothes Sect is not as good as the Red Clothes Sect in front of outsiders, so it is inevitable that there are more people in the Red Clothes Sect who are more flamboyant."

Having said that, the eldest brother smiled bitterly.

He said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take the fairy in to register her name."

"good."

Seeing this, Xue Li stopped asking questions. She would be staying in Xinglin Peak for nearly a month. Anyway, she didn't need anyone to explain too much about the situation and she would be able to understand it slowly.

Xue Li immediately followed the senior brother and the others into the registration office on the main peak.

The registration office was as clean as the guest house. Perhaps because it was not the peak hour, the room was a little deserted. Only Xue Li and the eldest brother and his group were there.

The eldest senior brother led Xue Li to the registered disciple. When the registered disciple saw Xue Li's appearance and celestial aura, he froze in his seat as if frozen in place, with his eyes wide open, and did not move for a long time.

Xueli gave him a friendly smile.

The disciple froze even more. After a long while, he asked blankly, "Name?"

Xueli said: "Xueli."

Seeing that disciple's pen trembled for a long time before writing down the two words, but the ink was spilled all over the place, Xueli added: "I also want to participate in this Xinglin meeting as a free cultivator."

The disciple said, "Okay, okay."

But he immediately added: "If you are a lone cultivator, your points cannot be counted among the Red and Green disciples, and you can only participate in the general meeting."

Xueli said, "It's okay."

Xue Li just wanted to get the Xuanri Yan Fruit for the Big Snow Wolf, and she was eager to end the battle quickly, so she didn't care much about the conference itself.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know what happened in the southern forest at midnight five days ago?"

The disciple shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. I slept very soundly that night, but I heard from other brothers and sisters that it seemed that it was dawn or something that night, but many of the elders in the peak have been out recently, so it is difficult for us to judge."

“… I understand. Thank you.”

Xue Li was a little disappointed after hearing this, but everyone was indeed asleep at that time, so if she wanted to find out the truth, she would have to ask more people.

The disciple was originally feeling frustrated because he couldn't answer the questions asked by the immortal, but now that the immortal thanked him, he hurriedly waved his hands.

Xue Li and the eldest senior brother and his group immediately left the registration office. The eldest senior brother originally said that he would take Xue Li around Xinglin Peak and introduce her to the local environment. However, as soon as they left the house, they heard a commotion inside and outside the mountain, and a large number of figures were flying in from the peak entrance.

They were at the main peak at that time and could see the people coming in clearly. Xue Li could clearly see that this group of people were much older than the disciples she had seen before, and were quite dignified. Many disciples greeted them respectfully when they saw them, and many stood very straight. Moreover, these people were different from the other disciples. They were dressed exquisitely, and based on their attire alone, it seemed impossible to tell whether they were from the Red Clothes Sect or the Green Clothes Sect.

The originally quiet Xinglin Peak seemed to become quite lively all of a sudden.

Xue Li tilted her head and asked, "Who are these people?"

The eldest senior brother's originally relaxed expression suddenly became very serious. He stood upright on the spot, as if he was ready to salute at any time.

Seeing Xue Li asking, he quickly replied, "The elders and masters of Xinglin Peak went out half a month ago to visit and invite various major sects of immortal cultivation for the Xinglin Association. After wandering around, I didn't expect them to come back together today! I was careless. I should have gone to pick them up earlier!"

He said: "Fairy, these are the teachers and seniors of Xinglin Peak. Most of them are one or two generations older than us. They are all famous seniors in the world of immortal cultivation!"

As he spoke, he looked very excited, and bowed to the immortal cultivator from a distance, looking very respectful. In addition to him, the other disciples also made similar actions, and even the most jumpy little sister A Jin became honest and bowed in that direction in a panic.

Xue Li did not need to salute, but just stood there curiously, watching the group of people simply greet the disciples guarding the door, and then slowly walk into the peak. They walked in a neat row, and from a distance, they looked like a line of egrets migrating south.

The eldest brother was nervous, but he introduced Xue Li to her when no one was paying attention.

He gestured in a low voice, "Did you see that? The one standing in the middle, the one wearing red brocade clothes, is our master uncle from the previous generation! Before Nun Lin Shao showed her talent and after Nun Lin Shao left Xinglin Peak, he was the most anticipated disciple of the previous generation. Now he has several direct disciples of the same generation as us. It is said that Master Uncle is expected to succeed as the chief peak master. Nun Lin Shao didn't have the time to participate in the Xinglin Association back then, so he was Master Uncle. He has won the championship in the Xinglin Association for four consecutive terms and is from the Red Clothes School."

The man that the senior brother was talking about looked to be in his forties, but Xueli knew that he was actually older than he looked. He had a frown on his face and a square face, and looked very dignified. He was the kind of middle-aged man that children would not dare approach if they walked on the street.

He is of the same generation as my aunt.

Xue Li couldn't help but look a few more times, and soon the master disappeared in front of the team.

The group of people walked farther and farther away, and soon they reached the end of the queue, and all the people who returned entered the peak.

But at the end of the queue, Xueli suddenly saw a hunchbacked old man. He was incongruous with the others' fancy dress. His clothes were ragged, his shoes were worn out, and he looked very haggard. He walked very slowly at the end, as if his thin legs could not support his hunchbacked body, but he was still carrying a medicine box on his shoulders and a row of heavy medicine bags hanging around his waist.

Behind the old man, Xue Li saw another young man.

He looked only about twenty years old, younger than the eldest brother, with a jade crown on his hair and handsome appearance. Compared with the other middle-aged and elderly people in this group, he was too young. When he walked out of the crowd with his youthful posture, people felt like a bright pearl mixed in with a dull fish scale, and a wisp of fresh air blew into the turbid air, making people notice him at a glance.

He followed behind the old man and seemed to be his disciple.

Xue Li paused when she saw the two men and asked, "Who are the last two people? Is the younger one your junior fellow apprentice?"

The eldest brother looked in the direction Xue Li said, and then was stunned for a moment.

He said, "No, that is our elder from the previous generation, our junior uncle. He is the youngest disciple of the previous generation. Although he is only twenty years old this year, younger than many of us, he is a generation older than us."

The eldest senior brother hesitated for a moment, then said to Xue Li, "Do you still remember the Sister Lin Shao I told you about before? That old man was Sister Lin Shao's former master Dai Youzong. That junior uncle... was the only serious fellow disciple of Sister Lin Shao when she was still at Xinglin Peak."

As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, the young uncle who was following at the end looked over here as if he had heard them talking.

They spoke very softly, and Xue Li was startled and blinked.

The next moment, the junior master stopped, turned around, and walked straight towards them!
