Over a month later, the Outer Sect Grand Competition came to an end.

Seven people from the Eighty-seventh Branch had entered the Inner Sect, which somewhat exceeded Zhang Qingyuan's expectations.

After all, each Grand Competition only had so many places for entry into the Inner Sect.

Yet there were over a hundred Outer Sect Branches throughout the Cloud Water Sect. On average, each branch could only promote around two or three people.

The Seventeenth Branch where Zhang Qingyuan had once stayed had already been among the rare first-rate branches. This time, the promotion of seven people could be called the highest number among all Outer Sect Branches without exaggeration.

Upon learning this news, the disciples of the surrounding branches one after another cast envious looks toward the Eighty-seventh Branch.

Some small lineages and small factions with even a little social connection, who had come to watch the competition from outside the grounds, were even considering inquiring about who taught at the Eighty-seventh Branch and whether they could arrange for their own juniors to cultivate under that person's branch in the future.

This was only natural.

The standard of a branch's disciples was related, to a certain degree, to the Dean teaching them. The reason the Eighty-seventh Branch could reach such a level was largely because Zhang Qingyuan's foundations were incomparably solid. Compared with ordinary True Essence Realm Cultivators, he could see far more clearly, and the results of his teaching were naturally better.

Of course, the thoughts of those small factions would most likely come to nothing.

After teaching this batch, Zhang Qingyuan had already prepared his plan to slip away. How could he possibly remain in the sect and continue serving as Dean?

There were no surprises.

Lu Yunxi was also among the seven who entered the Inner Sect.
