"Qingqing!"
Seeing Mu Qingqing, Ye Yuan's eyes immediately lit up.
He thought that a highly favored lady by the heavens like Mu Qingqing would probably not come to such a small event.
But he didn't expect Mu Qingqing to be there.
Moreover, it seemed she was looking for him, making Ye Yuan incredibly excited.
He directly left the elder in charge of the examination and quickly walked toward Mu Qingqing.
However, when the other disciples saw this, they froze.
"Who is this person?"
"He is a first-grade talent!"
"It seems like he knows Senior Sister Mu."
"....No, it seems more than that."
At this moment, anyone with a keen eye could detect Ye Yuan's emotions in his excited words.
He walked toward Mu Qingqing without hesitation, showing that their relationship was not normal.
"Ye Yuan?"
Mu Qingqing returned to her senses and stared in surprise at the young man before her. "Why are you here?"
Ye Yuan smiled, "Do you remember what I said back then? I said I would come find you."
"I thought you were joking."
"How could I? I wouldn't lie to you."
Upon hearing such blunt and sincere words from the young man, Mu Qingqing bit her lip in reply.
However, meeting him again didn't bring her the same joy as half a year ago.
If it had been before, she might have been happy.
But all these days, all Mu Qingqing could think about was Su Changyu.
She couldn't control the thoughts running through her mind, as if possessed by a demon.
Moreover, Ye Yuan called her so affectionately, if Su Changyu heard that... she was afraid he would misunderstand!
At that time, it would be useless even if she apologized again!
Even though Ye Yuan was exceptionally talented, Mu Qingqing only had a favorable opinion and didn't pay too much attention to him.
On the contrary, Su Changyu.
The more Mu Qingqing compared, the more she realized.
If she wanted to choose a Daoist couple, Su Changyu was definitely more suitable than Ye Yuan.
Thinking of this, she calmly said, "You should quickly go and complete the entrance test, and also, call me Senior Sister Mu within the sect."
Ye Yuan froze.
"Qingqing, what are you talking about? I came here for you..."
"Ye Yuan." Mu Qingqing frowned slightly. "It is time for the examination. Please focus on it; if not, it is disrespectful to the Great Holy Sect."
"I... I understand."
Ye Yuan wanted to say something else, but seeing Mu Qingqing's cold expression, he decided to pass the examination first.
"You are too impulsive."
As Ye Yuan walked back to the examination location, his master's voice resounded in his mind.
"Master, Qingqing's attitude towards me seems off..."
Ye Yuan said without moving.
"What's wrong with it? I think it's normal."
"She should be happy."
"Silly disciple, she is the Sect Master's direct disciple. You have not yet passed the sect examination nor been enrolled as a disciple. Also, why are you acting so intimately with her? I've often told you you have talent and should put more thought into cultivation."
"Nope... Master, listen, they are all talking about Qingqing."
As Ye Yuan walked back, he felt the gazes of a group of sect disciples along the way, and the voices of these people talking about it naturally reached his ears.
Upon hearing it, Ye Yuan listened to a name - Su Changyu!
"This Su Changyu is about to become the Great Holy Sect's Holy Son, and he is also pursuing Qingqing?" Ye Yuan said incredulously.
"What's so strange about that? Mu Qingqing is extremely talented. If not, she wouldn't have been accepted as a direct disciple of the Great Holy Sect's elder. It's normal for someone to pursue her." She spoke without any interest.
"But..."
Ye Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists.
He felt that Mu Qingqing treating him coldly must have something to do with Su Changyu!
"Master, do you think that if I perform well enough, Qingqing will like me?"
"This..."
She paused.
What should she say?
Although Ye Yuan was quite capable at the moment, he was a hundred thousand miles away compared to the other true geniuses.
About the future? Who knows?
A good investment needs caution.
Even if she were to consider Mu Qingqing's position, she would definitely choose the Holy Son.
If it were her, she too would choose the Holy Son.
However, she had no other choice. As her physical body was destroyed, only her divine consciousness remained with Ye Yuan.
Her only hope of rebuilding her body was Ye Yuan.
As his master, she still comforted him, ''For sure. Well, there are many strong people here. Keep a low profile as much as possible. It's up to you to decide what to do next."
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely take first place!" Ye Yuan said confidently.
...
Well, Ye Yuan's confidence was justified.
With his first-grade talent and cultivation base at the seventh stage of the Soul Palace Realm, he passed the first and second rounds of tests. In the third round of the actual combat test, he defeated the ninth stage of the Soul Palace Realm of a certain Elite Family in one fell swoop, winning the title of 'Number one disciple.'
Although the standard for entering the sect for the Great Holy Sect's new disciple test was above the fifth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, it didn't mean that the disciples who took part in the test were only in the Qi Condensation Realm.
Many people from elite families cultivate themselves from a young age. After reaching a certain level, they were sent to the sect to become disciples.
One for practicing and the other for growth.
This kind of person would enter the inner sect directly after the examination.
Some would even be accepted as disciples by the Great Holy Sect elders and become direct disciples.
As for Ye Yuan, he didn't have any background and defeated the disciple of an elite family whose cultivation was two levels higher than his. This was just by his own efforts; his talent was beyond belief.
So when the third examination round ended, the Great Holy Sect's elders couldn't sit still.
"That young man is good!"
"I'm afraid that what the talent detection stone measures isn't his limit."
"If he can be properly cultivated, his future achievements will be unlimited."
"Haha! Everyone wants to make him their disciple? While the Great Elder is in seclusion, it may be up to us, right?"
The Great Holy Sect's elders discussed the matter.
Meanwhile, others who visited looked on with envy.
This was the advantage of great power!
As long as they were stronger than you, they could choose.
They picked the finest among every generation of disciples, and as the days and months passed, they competed for power.
The current state of the cultivation world was that the strongest were always stronger!
"I didn't expect him to be so outstanding." Mu Qingqing looked at Ye Yuan with a complicated expression.
She was in a dilemma right now.
She instinctively wanted to befriend Ye Yuan.
After all, he was just like her, relying on his efforts.
Mu Qingqing admired such an individual.
However, she was now unwilling to let go of Su Changyu.
There was a saying - what you can't get keeps you unhappy.
In the past, when Su Changyu pursued her, she didn't feel anything. However, she was distressed now that he didn't SIMP for her.
It was as if Su Changyu was actually supposed to treat her well, and she was supposed to enjoy those 'favors.'
"I want to worship the Great Elder!"
In the battle arena, Ye Yuan said loudly, "My purpose for joining the Great Holy Sect is very simple, and that is to become the Great Elder's direct disciple!"
After saying that, he looked toward Mu Qingqing, a confident smile spreading across his face.
As the spectators followed his line of sight, they were speechless.
Are you here for Great Elder?
You clearly have ulterior motives!
Just then, a gentle voice rang out.
"Becoming the Great Elder's direct disciple isn't bad, but this new junior brother is ambitious."
Suddenly, the crowd parted, and Su Changyu walked over with a smile on his face.
Behind him, Su Jiuming respectfully followed.
The pair were like divine couples, and in a matter of seconds, they became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Who is this person?" Ye Yuan frowned. "Another big family disciple?"
He secretly shook his head, showing disdain for the young masters of these families.
Family background? Natural benefits?
Even so, weren't they defeated by him?
But it didn't matter; it wasn't just his business anyway.
He only needed Mu Qingqing to watch alone.
At this moment, he saw the goddess Mu Qingqing, and his originally bland expression immediately changed to joy!
But then.
"Qingqing is waiting for him!?" Ye Yuan was stunned.

Thanks for the chapter. I feel a little bad for the protagonist. He is one of those idiots who fell in love for a unworthy woman.
