The next day.
Early in the morning.
In front of Sword Phoenix Peak.
Under the leadership of Su Qingshui, seventy female disciples had assembled completely.
Besides Su Qingshui and Chen Yan looking as usual, the other female disciples were almost all dressed incomparably beautifully!!!
Their light makeup and exquisite clothing made it seem like they were going to a beauty pageant.
Especially Zheng Danling.
Wearing a thin, purple dress that wrapped around her Ling Long figure, she appeared faintly visible and extremely beautiful.
There was also a faint fragrance of Lingtao Qinghua on Zheng Danling, giving off an intoxicating aura.
Her makeup was even the most delicate of all, painted to look like a porcelain doll.
Originally, Zheng Danling was about a 90-point level, but with careful dressing, she seemed to have surpassed 95 points, almost comparable to Chen Yan.
Zheng Danling followed closely beside Su Qingshui, slightly lifting her head, like a Phoenix, with a smile on her lips and unable to hold back her excitement inside.
"Let's go." Su Qingshui suddenly spoke.
Under her lead, a group of seventy headed towards Sword Emperor Peak, amid the admiration and anticipation of 130,000 female disciples.
An hour later.
Here they were!
Led by Su Qingshui, a group of seventy female disciples had reached the mountainside of Sword Emperor Peak, arriving in front of Sword Emperor Hall.
The grand, majestic, and ancient Sword Emperor Hall exuded an aura of reverence.
At this moment.
Sword Emperor Hall was already open!
Ordinarily, Sword Emperor Hall remained closed.
When Su Qingshui and her group of seventy arrived at the front of Sword Emperor Hall, one hundred thirty male disciples from Sword Dragon Peak, led by Zheng Jiuxing, had also arrived.
The male disciples, each holding their heads high, were also well-dressed, as today their appearance represented the face of Sword Emperor Palace.
At this moment, these male disciples were staring intently at Su Qingshui and the other female disciples.
Among them, Su Qingshui, Zheng Danling, and Chen Yan clearly were the most popular, each attracting the attention of dozens of male disciples.
"Saintess." Zheng Jiuxing stepped forward and said. He was somewhat burly and tall, but exuded an aura of agility and vigilance, especially his eyes, which sparkled brightly, deterring others from underestimating him. Holding a short sword enveloped in green light with a chilling presence, his hair was somewhat white. However, this whiteness did not make Zheng Jiuxing appear old. Instead, it added a strangely handsome charm to him.
"Saint Heir." Su Qingshui replied.
"Thank you." Zheng Jiuxing thought that Su Qingshui had deliberately arranged for his sister to stay close to her, which suited his mind; if his sister caught Su Chen's eye, he would rise to prominence along with her.
Additionally, Su Qingshui dressed very modestly, which suited his preference.
Generally speaking, within a sect, the Saint Heir and Saintess are considered a pair by many.
Take Sword Emperor Palace for instance; not few of the previous Saint Heirs and Saintesses ended up becoming partners.
Zheng Jiuxing was indeed fond of Su Qingshui and had pursued her intentionally or unintentionally, but Su Qingshui never showed any response.
He had been worried about what if Su Qingshui was chosen by Su Chen, the top in War Ancient Sky, today? Fortunately, it seemed that he worried too much; Su Qingshui evidently didn't dress up too much. Though still very beautiful, she appeared modest, reducing the likelihood of catching Su Chen's attention today.
Zheng Jiuxing couldn't help but overthink. He believed that Su Qingshui was behaving modestly mostly because she had a fondness for him, deliberately not wanting Su Chen to notice her.
Thinking this way, he felt even more exhilarated.
"Brother, do you think I'll succeed today?" Zheng Danling asked with some excitement. She didn't know if she was nervous or expectant; her mood was somewhat unsettled.
"You will certainly succeed." Zheng Jiuxing encouraged his sister with a look, as she was inherently beautiful, and today's dress-up was sure to catch the eye.
Zheng Danling smiled, felt happy, and still trusted her brother very much.
In the next moment.
"Come in, all of you." A voice echoed from within Sword Emperor Hall, a somewhat aged middle-aged man's voice.
It's the Sect Master!!!
Instantly, the chatting female disciples of Sword Phoenix Peak and male disciples of Sword Dragon Peak fell silent.
Then, each in an already determined order, entered Sword Emperor Hall respectfully and reverently.
Walking into Sword Emperor Hall, they were filled with a sense of awe and pride.
The entire Sword Emperor Hall was not overly spacious or luxurious, yet it exuded a Divine Charm, an essence only time and sharpness could accumulate.
At the highest position in Sword Emperor Hall, Sword Emperor Palace's Sect Master Yang Chengjian sat without much expression.
Below him were the elders and supreme elders of Sword Emperor Palace.
Further down, there were fourteen stewards and twenty-nine Teaching Masters. Both stewards and Teaching Masters were arranged in vertical rows, standing instantly one after another in the hall.
After Su Qingshui and Zheng Jiuxing led their groups inside, they too were arranged in vertical rows, one after the other.
The ones at the back were standing near the walls of the hall.
At this time, looking at everyone, one could sense a difference in positioning, seeing how far from the center of the hall they stood.
As for Chen Yan, she was quite overshadowed, blocked by Su Qingshui, Zheng Danling, and others in front of her.
"I shall remind you of one thing. Young Master Su's temperament is not very good. Perhaps because of the young Ancient Times, he is somewhat carefree. In other words, if anyone provokes him, he will act directly and kill." From the main seat, Yang Chengjian spoke indifferently, his voice carrying a warning: "So, when Young Master Su arrives, you all better not make any inappropriate moves."
As he spoke, Yang Chengjian glanced at both Zheng Jiuxing and Su Qingshui's groups.
For the other elders, supreme elders, Teaching Masters, and stewards, he had much confidence, yet he was not as confident in the younger disciples of Sword Emperor Palace.
Younger people can be too uninhibited at times.
"Yes." Everyone in the hall replied respectfully.
"Very well. Next, we patiently await," Yang Chengjian nodded.
No one else dared to speak.
Within the hall, a silence lingered.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
About half an hour later.
Suddenly!
From the main seat, Yang Chengjian's eyes suddenly emitted a burst of light.
He stood up.
"Young Master Su is here."
In an instant, everyone else in Sword Emperor Palace held their breath, looking towards the entrance of Sword Emperor Hall.
In a flash.
Silently, a figure appeared in front of the entrance of Sword Emperor Hall, as if by illusion.
Su Chen.
Indeed, it was Su Chen.
"Hahaha, Young Master Su..." Yang Chengjian laughed heartily.
"Young Master Su!" Inside the hall, all others slightly bowed, speaking in unison with respect.
