Yun Li's True Scheme

Yun Li was about to explode with anger.

More than a minute had passed since he had flown down from the sky with effortless flair and stood before Lin Yu and Xiaobai.

Yet during that entire minute and more...

The two youngsters before him seemed to have been making eyes at each other the whole time, even flashing inexplicable smiles now and then!

Neither of them paid him any attention!

"Hey, even if you're so madly in love you stick together like glue, you should still consider the occasion!"

Yun Li's eyes shifted, and then he puffed out his beard and glared, putting on a fierce expression.

"What sort of decorum is this! You're tarnishing the atmosphere of our Qianyuan Sect!"

"You even seemed to want to live together earlier! Men and women must maintain their distance, and our Qianyuan Sect has never set such a precedent!"

"Boy, since you're so capable, why don't we have a match?"

"If you win, I won't interfere with you and this little girl anymore!"

Yun Li abruptly changed tack, a shrewd, calculating smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, I won't bully you, either. Your cultivation is only at the pitiful golden core third tier, so I'll suppress my cultivation to the golden core third tier as well!"

"If you can last an incense stick's worth of time against me, I'll count it as your win!"

Yun Li chuckled, a hint of slyness actually appearing on his aged face.

"What does Elder Yun Li mean by this?"

"No idea! Wasn't he furious just now? Why does he suddenly want a match?"

"Look at that strange smile. He's definitely up to no good! Junior Brother Lin Yu mustn't fall for it!"

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, don't agree!"

"Exactly, Junior Brother Lin Yu, this isn't fair at all!"

Yun Li's words immediately drew cries of surprise from the disciples.

Elder Yun Li had clearly looked furious just moments ago, so why did he suddenly want to spar with Lin Yu now?

And hadn't his expression changed far too quickly?

It was practically Sichuan opera face-changing!

The disciples were all utterly baffled by Yun Li's behavior.

Just as that senior brother had said, Elder Yun Li truly had an extraordinarily eccentric personality.

"Yun Li, you old fossil, you've actually come out too!"

Just then, another aged, powerful voice suddenly rang out from the void!

"Old man Yun Li, don't think we don't know what you're scheming!"

"Stop putting on an act! Your lousy acting might fool the disciples, but do you think it can fool us?"

"Hehe, the sect master may show you some respect, but we're not afraid of you!"

Several more powerful voices rang out from the void, their imposing force shaking the heavens, their echoes lingering!

"It's the Peak Masters! They've all come too!"

A disciple shouted excitedly. For today's sect admission assembly, almost all of the Qianyuan Sect's elite, top fighting forces had turned out!

They were indeed somewhat unfamiliar with Yun Li, but they knew these four Peak Masters extremely well!

That was because every disciple of the Qianyuan Sect would join one of the main peaks upon entering the sect to continue their cultivation!

And the person at the helm of the disciples' cultivation on each main peak was naturally its Peak Master!

Qianyuan Peak, Heavenly Light Peak, Surging Waves Peak, and Stabilizing Mystery Peak-every one of their Peak Masters was a genuine Spirit Transformation Realm expert!

Had Elder Yun Li not appeared to interrupt, it seemed they should already have reached the stage where the Peak Masters and disciples chose one another.

Joining Qianyuan Peak was what the vast majority of new disciples longed for!

Although the four peaks naturally stood united against outsiders, there was also considerable competition among them.

As the Qianyuan Sect's foremost main peak, Qianyuan Peak could provide its disciples with extremely abundant cultivation resources!

By comparison, Heavenly Light Peak and Surging Waves Peak paled somewhat.

As for Stabilizing Mystery Peak, the gap between it and the other three main peaks was especially pronounced!

Over the years, the spiritual power on Stabilizing Mystery Peak had grown increasingly sparse, and the quality of its recruits had declined steadily!

If it hadn't still been able to take in some disciples rejected by the other three main peaks each intake, Stabilizing Mystery Peak would probably have long since lost any reason to exist.

"But from what the Peak Masters are saying, Elder Yun Li was actually acting?"

Hearing the Peak Masters' words, a disciple voiced his confusion.

"I don't know. Lin Yu and Xiaobai are only new disciples, after all. Why would an elder like Yun Li need to put on an act for them?"

"Let's see what they say..."

The disciples exchanged looks. They really couldn't make sense of a clash between immortals like this.

"Why have you old fossils come too?"

At the sight of the Peak Masters, Yun Li's expression immediately soured somewhat.

This is bad!

If only I'd taken these two youngsters away earlier!

I could have taken my time discussing the terms with them in private.

Now the duck already at my mouth has flown away. With these four old foxes here, my scheme will probably fall through!

"Hmph, we should be asking you that!"

The Qianyuan Peak Master snorted. "If you hadn't suddenly appeared, we'd already be choosing disciples and letting them choose us!"

"Hehe, don't think we don't know what you're thinking!"

The Heavenly Light Peak Master picked up where he left off.

"Old man Yun Li, aren't you just taking advantage of these youngsters' inexperience? Halfway through the match, you'd goad them into a wager, making them become your personal disciples if they lost!"

"It was bad enough that you pulled this a hundred years ago, but now you're actually trying the same old trick again. Do you think we'd fall for it twice?"

"Besides, do you really think every young person in the world is as dim-witted as that unlucky kid a hundred years ago?"

"I advise you to watch yourself!"

The Heavenly Light Peak Master spoke angrily, exposing Yun Li's little scheme in just a few sentences.

"Hiss..."

As the Heavenly Light Peak Master's words fell, sharp intakes of breath rose all around.

What sinister intentions!

They had never imagined that Elder Yun Li, who looked so kindly and benevolent, would actually harbor such a scheme!

And judging by what the Heavenly Light Peak Master had said, they had clearly already suffered a loss once before.

The disciples also turned astonished gazes toward Lin Yu and Xiaobai.

To think these two had actually made even someone like Yun Li want to take them directly as disciples!

And he was even willing to resort to such an underhanded trick!

How would this matter ultimately end?
