However, the Princess of Country Liang, after all, is a princess. Although young, her intellect is not comparable to those children; she has learned a lot while her father assessed the pros and cons and played the Emperor's heart games.

Her eyes twinkled, and she quickly came up with an idea.

"Senior Brother, I have a thought."

"Although I am not very familiar with Daoist skills, this Demon-slaying Sword clearly matches Senior Brother well in both quality and how it can summon Heavenly Thunder."

"Thus, why not choose this item as the reward for the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition?"

Just as he was about to speak, upon hearing Liang Yu's confident voice, he suddenly realized that his junior sister was much smarter than he was.

"The cultivation techniques that Senior Brother and I practice, whether Daoist skills or otherwise, all originate from the same source. As the Demon-slaying Sword is both a magic treasure and a divine weapon, whichever one of us siblings obtains it would greatly enhance our strength."

"In the coming years, I must stay within the Mountain Gate and focus on cultivation, as I'm currently at Foundation Establishment Peak and need to attempt breaking through to the Core Formation stage this year."

"Senior Brother is different; he will certainly be going out to experience the world soon, so I'll entrust this Demon-slaying Sword to Senior Brother. After a few years, when Senior Brother breaks through to the Nascent Soul or obtains a more suitable magic treasure, he can gift it to me."

"With Senior Brother's talent, shouldn't it take just a few years?"

His expression was somewhat surprised.

Though there was a hint of consolation, the perspective was indeed novel. If he used it first, and then handed it to his junior sister after advancing his realm, it would be a good plan, especially since Liang Yu was also very suited to the Demon-slaying Sword.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel tempted. Seeing this, the little princess chose to strike while the iron was hot.

"The Heavenly Clarity and Serenity True Technique likely isn't required by many. Since Senior Brother is worried about giving rise to rumors, why not choose it as compensation, which would prevent any grumbling from other senior brothers and sisters, and everyone knows about Senior Brother's serious injury from the assassination attempt last time."

"Then select the Cloud Soaring Whip as the award for this Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition; its grade is excellent, and among the many participating disciples, it seems no one specializes in whip techniques, so there wouldn't be any disputes with other sect disciples; only this Mysterious Moon Pipa could be a bit troublesome."

"But I have an idea to obtain this Mysterious Moon Pipa as well."

Lowering her voice, she tiptoed and slightly tugged Jiang Feng's shoulder with her small hand.

Compared to the tall and sturdy Jiang, the not-yet-fully-grown little princess appeared rather petite; while not quite a small potato, she was indeed only to his shoulder height.

Thus, Jiang Feng bent his knees slightly like dealing with a child, a scene that made most of the males present grind their teeth, even Gu Miyun at the front, maintaining order, shook her head.

"Such a scandal, such a scandal!"

Yet the two simply ignored the gazes of the others and continued their little discussion.

"Senior Brother, have you forgotten? Senior Sister Yun took out her willow wood zither when she battled you that day."

He nodded.

With this reminder, he remembered.

Insiders often see less clearly than outsiders due to Jiang Feng's personal engagement in the battle, he didn't know the origin of the magic treasure in Gu Miyun's hands, but the disciples watching from below recognized it, and after discussing among themselves, they figured it out.

"That day at the Martial Arts Arena, Senior Brother did not know what magic treasure was in Senior Sister Yun's hands."

"According to Sect Master's original plan, it was to lend Senior Sister Yun this Mysterious Moon Pipa as a transitional tool, although Senior Sister Yun is slightly inferior to Senior Brother, other sect disciples believe Senior Sister Yun is within the top ten."

"However, Uncle Yun from Yuzhu Peak handed down the Mountain Gate's ancestral magic treasure to Senior Sister Yun in advance, meaning the Mountain Gate's ancestral magic treasure fits her better, so the specifically prepared Mysterious Moon Pipa became less useful for her."

"The key is, among the crowd, it seems no one else can use it, so Senior Sister Yun appears to have no choice either."

"In this case, Senior Brother, do you have a way to trick Senior Sister Yun into giving up this magic treasure that is useless to her?"

"Anyway, with Senior Brother's charming and handsome looks, you two are a perfect match…"

Bam!

He reached out and lightly tapped her head.

"Troublesome girl, don't talk nonsense, although your idea is good, I'll borrow it."

He straightened up.

The siblings couldn't help but chuckle slyly, leaving everyone present stunned, not knowing what agreement they reached, but soon Jiang Feng stood tall and spoke to Zhang Shanyuan.

"Elder Zhang, I'd like to choose this item."

Saying that, he picked up the small whip on the table.

"What?"

"Huh?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even the knowledgeable Zhang Shanyuan was momentarily wide-eyed, not knowing what Jiang Feng was up to, suspecting the boy had a lapse in judgment.

"You... are skilled in whip techniques?"

"Not at all, but I still choose it, as no senior brothers or sisters present need it. As the saying goes, if I don't enter Hell, who will? Let me bear this pain."

His expression remained unchanged and steady.

From this, you can see Jiang Feng's strong mental fortitude, even Liang Yu standing nearby almost burst out laughing, other disciples were also somewhat bewildered, but to them, it was good news since nobody wanted it; if it was chosen, it could be traded with others due to its high grade.
