Jealous Junior Sister

The elder continued to call out, “Those going to the southeastern border of the Central Divine Continent to slay demons and evil, wait on the right side. Cultivation must not be lower than the late-Foundation Establishment stage.”

This time, only a few dozen disciples moved, but they were all of considerable cultivation, every single one of them in the Golden Core realm.

In this manner, as the elder’s calls continued, disciples moved one after another, choosing their destinations.

The cultivation requirements for these training grounds also steadily increased. By the time the elder announced, “Minimum requirement of early-Nascent Soul,” Gan Tang’s bright eyes, fixed on her senior brother, were filled with resentment…

Her true cultivation was early-Nascent Soul.

“Senior Brother, where on earth are you going?”

Lu Qiancha remained silent, a smile playing on his lips.

Soon, only fifteen people in the square had not moved, and only two training destinations remained unannounced.

Of these fifteen, aside from the brother-and-sister pair in the corner, the rest were all immortal scions of their respective peaks, the key disciples of this generation.

The elder glanced at Gan Tang, then continued to call out, “Those going to Linyuan Island in the Eastern Sea for training, enter the hall and wait. Minimum cultivation must not be lower than the late-Nascent Soul stage.”

Of the remaining fifteen, nine moved at the same time. The auras they each released were, surprisingly, all at the early-Spirit Transformation stage.

Murmurs of admiration rose from the crowd as these nine disciples swiftly flew into the hall.

At this point, only six people remained unmoving in the square, and everyone’s attention quickly converged on a young woman in a bright red immortal dress, carrying a broken sword on her back.

The young woman stood with her eyes closed, seemingly radiating two words —’Keep Out.’

She was one of the most famous disciples of the Tianyuan Sect’s current generation.

Not only was she devastatingly beautiful, but her cultivation aptitude was also astonishing.

The aura she revealed in advance was already at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm.

Having joined the sect for only forty years, such aptitude had earned her great esteem from the Tianyuan Sect, and she had long been accepted into the lineage of the Creation Peak’s master.

‘Shangguan Yunzhu is going to Beiju Luzhou as well? That’s not bad.’

A faint smile appeared on Lu Qiancha’s face in the corner.

Traveling with such a high-profile celebrity would make it even easier for her to remain an invisible bystander.

Beside him, Gan Tang caught a whiff of something strange.

Her gaze darted back and forth between her senior brother’s smile and Shangguan Yunzhu…

‘It doesn’t add up! There’s definitely something going on!’

‘Could it be… that my home has been stolen from under my nose?’

Gan Tang silently clenched her fists, her heart filled with jealousy.

“Senior Sister Yunzhu is also going to Beiju Luzhou? Then it seems Senior Brother Qingfeng is going as well.”

“Isn’t that a given? Didn’t you see Senior Brother Qingfeng hasn’t moved? He’s obviously waiting for Senior Sister Yunzhu to make her decision.”

“Watch your words and guard your heart. Don’t offend these two cultivation prodigies from Creation Peak.”

…

In the air, the elder looked at the brother-and-sister pair, Lu Qiancha and Gan Tang, and shook his head slightly before continuing in a loud voice: “Disciples heading to the Juezhang Treasure Forest in the southwest of Beiju Luzhou, enter the hall and wait. This place is extremely dangerous, and disciples are often injured. A minimum of peak-Nascent Soul is required.”

As he finished speaking, the woman in the bright red dress opened her eyes.

Her phoenix eyes were remarkably clear.

The hem of her dress swayed gently with the wind, like a fiery red lotus, as she floated into the hall under the gazes of many.

Following closely behind her was a gentle and refined young man, whose revealed aura was also at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm.

His eyes never left the bright red figure, so he was naturally that ‘Senior Brother Qingfeng’.

Lu Qiancha began to walk forward at the same time.

With Qingfeng and Shangguan Yunzhu drawing all the attention, she was practically invisible and moved with great ease.

But after just two steps, she inexplicably shivered.

A pair of resentful eyes followed her like a shadow…

“Senior Brother, why are you suddenly going to Beiju Luzhou?”

Lu Qiancha felt a cold wind at her back. She stopped, turned her head, and said in a deep voice, “To gather herbs.”

“Senior Brother? Aren’t the herbs at home enough for you? You…”

“Gan Tang of Tianquan Peak.”

A voice called from the air, interrupting their conversation. “Are you participating in this training excursion?”

“I am.”

Gan Tang answered.

Feeling the stares from all around, her pretty face flushed slightly.

She quickly continued, “Apologies for troubling the elder. My cultivation is still shallow, and I was a bit indecisive just now. I have now decided to follow the other senior brothers and sisters to the shores of the Eastern Sea.”

The elder nodded, a kind smile on his face. “Hurry and rejoin your group. Don’t cause any delays.”

“Yes.”

Gan Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she turned to look for her senior brother again, he was already gone.

“Honestly, why go to such a dangerous place…”

She pouted and grumbled under her breath, “Didn’t even say a word of farewell… Hmph, be careful, you wretched Senior Brother.”

…

Inside the Myriad Phantoms Hall, a dozen pairs of eyes fell on Lu Qiancha. Most of them held a look of suspicion, wondering who this person was.

Lu Qiancha silently released her aura—peak-Nascent Soul, just barely passing the requirement, an upper-middle level among the current generation of disciples.

“You meet the standard. Quickly join the group.”

The elder glanced at Lu Qiancha, then quickly looked away.
