On the high platform, Su Qingshui continued, "Tomorrow, it will not only be the disciples from Sword Phoenix Peak. There will also be disciples from Sword Dragon Peak, along with elders, deacons, sect masters, and even grand elders. So, for the 69 of you who will follow me, be prepared, do not overstep, don't panic, and don't disgrace us."

Tomorrow, the 70 from Sword Phoenix Peak represent the face of Sword Phoenix Peak, and as the Saintess of Sword Phoenix Peak, she must warn them in advance.

"To prevent any unnecessary chaos, tomorrow, after entering the Sword Emperor Hall, you 69 must follow behind me in order of your ranks, no overstepping." Su Qingshui continued.

She knew very well that the 69 people following her were likely all fanatical admirers of Su Chen, the kind who were infatuated!

By then, if anyone pushes forward to catch a close glimpse of Su Chen, it will certainly result in chaos and disgrace.

So, it is necessary to establish things in advance.

The top 69 in rank had already stepped forward, each possessing an attractive appearance and none lacking in strength.

In the back, as many as 130,000 other female disciples were enviously watching, their gazes almost filled with tangible envy, but all they could do was envy.

"Did you hear?" Su Qingshui's beautiful eyes scanned the 69.

"We heard." the 69 replied.

However.

One among them raised a hand.

It was Zheng Danling, ranked fourth.

A woman with light makeup, tall stature, cold, stunning face, and looks scoring about 90 points.

She's considered a beauty among thousands, but unfortunately, she falls quite short compared to Su Qingshui and Chen Yan.

She looked up at Su Qingshui, her beautiful face both proud and slightly desperate.

"Zheng Danling, speak up." Su Qingshui slightly furrowed her brows, but still responded calmly.

"Saintess, tomorrow, I wish to be by your side." Zheng Danling straightforwardly stated, coming right to the point.

She meant to replace Chen Yan by saying she wanted to be by Su Qingshui's side.

According to the ranks, the higher the rank, the closer to Su Qingshui.

Following right beside Su Qingshui was naturally the first-ranked Chen Yan.

And Zheng Danling, being fourth, was comparatively further away.

Although fourth and first do not seem vastly different, Zheng Danling understood that if she followed the fourth position, she would probably only catch a distant glimpse of Su Chen.

She had some understanding of the seating arrangements at the Sword Emperor Hall, which were not horizontal but vertical rows: one row for elders, one for deacons, one for Sword Phoenix Peak, and one for Sword Dragon Peak.

If Su Qingshui is the first in this row, then Chen Yan is in the second row, and Zheng Danling would be directly in the fifth row.

That's too far back.

With Su Qingshui, Chen Yan, Xuu Lingjing, and Gao Ziting blocking ahead, what chances could there be? Su Chen would definitely not notice her.

Zheng Danling has her own ambitions!!!

She had some confidence in her looks as well, what if? What if there's a chance Su Chen takes a liking to her tomorrow? What if Su Chen falls for her at first sight? If Su Chen couldn't see her due to the distance, wouldn't that be missing an opportunity?

If she is noticed by Su Chen, even if only for one night of affection, she would ascend to new heights, from then on, who would dare provoke her?

This kind of opportunity to rise suddenly, even if it were a slim one, she still wanted to grasp it.

Zheng Danling held onto a thread of hope and desire, and she had a bit of reason too; firstly, her looks indeed did not match up to Chen Yan and Su Qingshui, but they weren't bad, she was considered a big beauty. Secondly, like Chen Yan and Su Qingshui, she was also a virgin~~~.

This is precisely why Zheng Danling stood up; she wanted to replace Chen Yan.

Only to replace Chen Yan.

Replacing Su Qingshui was out of the question, Su Qingshui excelled over her in all aspects, and she was the Saintess, crucially, she was also the sect master's disciple.

But Chen Yan was nothing, no background, no strength, just the top of the top in terms of looks, that's it.

"Zheng Danling, the vote has already been decided." Su Qingshui cast a deep glance at Zheng Danling and said, a bit displeased internally.

"Saintess, even if I swap places with Chen Yan, it's no big deal." Zheng Danling said with a smile, casting a glance at Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, what do you say?"

"Nonsense!" Su Qingshui was not pleased, her beautiful eyes became fierce.

"Saintess, I insist." But Zheng Danling showed not a trace of fear!!!

Very determined.

Not because of anything else, just because she is Zheng Danling.

Zheng Danling was considered one of the top in strength in Sword Phoenix Peak, stronger than Chen Yan by quite a bit. Of course, that wasn't the crucial point, the crucial point was that she had a brother.

Her brother's name was Zheng Jiuxing.

Zheng Jiuxing; this name was well-known in the Sword Emperor Palace.

Zheng Jiuxing, Sword Emperor Palace's Saint Heir, number one in Sword Dragon Peak.

In other words, Zheng Jiuxing held the same status as Su Qingshui, to be precise, higher than Su Qingshui's status, because Sword Dragon Peak overall strength was stronger than Sword Phoenix Peak.

"You…," Su Qingshui became upset, her demeanor turned cold. She naturally knew why Zheng Danling was so fearlessly arrogant, but she would not be deterred.

Even if it meant going against Zheng Jiuxing, she would not shy from it!!!

"Chen Yan, have you thought it through? After all, you can attend the Sword Emperor Hall regardless. Don't be foolish over a seating position." Before Su Qingshui could speak, Zheng Danling directly threatened Chen Yan.

Beside Chen Yan, a round-faced girl with a ponytail became furious, wanting to stand up for Chen Yan, but was stopped by Chen Yan.

Moreover, Chen Yan directly spoke up: "If Senior Sister Zheng wishes, the first rank can be ceded to Senior Sister Zheng."

The entire hall burst into an uproar.

Chen Yan actually gave in that easily?

"That's more like it…" Zheng Danling rejoiced, her face beaming with smiles, internally thrilled; she was now one step closer to Young Master Su.

"Chen Yan, you…" The round-faced girl with a ponytail was furious: "Even if her brother is Zheng Jiuxing, she can't bully people like this, her fourth can't compare to your first."

"It's okay, I'll be content just seeing Young Master Su from afar." Chen Yan said with a smile, with her own reasons.

Zheng Danling's brother was Zheng Jiuxing.

Chen Yan believed she couldn't afford to provoke, though she also wasn't afraid. How could a martial cultivator be afraid? If fearful, why cultivate martial arts?

But Chen Yan could see, if she refused Zheng Danling, Su Qingshui would support her. Meaning, Su Qingshui would offend Zheng Danling, consequently, offending Zheng Jiuxing.

It was said that Zheng Jiuxing had secured the support of several elders and was highly likely to become a candidate for the next sect master of Sword Emperor Palace.

If the Saintess offended Zheng Jiuxing, her future in Sword Emperor Palace would be very difficult.

After entering the Sword Emperor Palace, Saintess Su Qingshui had helped her considerably, Chen Yan felt grateful to Su Qingshui in her heart.

Therefore, she thought taking a step back to help Su Qingshui was worth it, taking a step back wasn't much of a loss.

"Chen Yan, you…" On the stage, Su Qingshui was both angry and moved, this silly girl…

"Saintess, I voluntarily switched with Zheng Danling." Chen Yan earnestly stated.

"Chen Yan, I didn't see that you were quite understanding." Zheng Danling smiled even wider: "Chen Yan, rest assured, tomorrow, if there's an opportunity while I'm at the front, I'll surely speak to Young Master Su, making it worthwhile for us to switch places."

Chen Yan nodded, showing little emotion.

"This fool. Hmph. Doesn't know how to seize opportunities." Zheng Danling thought to herself, extremely pleased, despite not wanting to admit it, Chen Yan's beauty was truly exceptional, she was actually worried that if Chen Yan's seat was in the front, she might catch Young Master Su's attention. Now it's fine, the chance of Chen Yan catching Young Master Su's attention is slim, instead, her own opportunity has arrived.

Thinking about seeing Young Master Su up close tomorrow made Zheng Danling feel like her heart was being scratched by a cat.

She couldn't wait to return to her room to get ready and prepare.
