Conflict, Wu Yuexin

The two palace masters and the great elder walked alongside Emperor Beichen, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. These cultivators were brimming with confidence as they set off to participate in the assessment competition. However, they couldn't help but wonder how many of them would return two years later when the competition ended.

As they listened to Emperor Beichen's words, a hint of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the crowd. They hadn't expected the teleportation array to be so miraculous, directly transporting them into the small world. The process was much more convenient than they had imagined.

"I've never heard of a teleportation array before, it feels amazing!" Xia Zhiqing's eyes shimmered with excitement. Although she was well aware of the endless dangers in the small world, getting to witness a teleportation array that ordinary people couldn't experience was also a good opportunity.

Though Dongfang Yu and the others didn't speak, their expressions also revealed a sense of curiosity. The methods of the major sects were truly diverse and bewildering.

All of this further solidified their determination to participate in the assessment competition. Only by doing so would they have a chance to become members of the sect.

"Unsophisticated!" Wu Yuxin glanced coldly at Xia Zhiqing. With Xia Zhiqing's status, she was unworthy of representing the Tian Gang Sect in the assessment competition.

She had made sufficient preparations for this competition and only wanted to achieve a good ranking when breaking through the assessment array. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Baili Hongzhuang and the others, the first place would undoubtedly be hers!

Now, seeing this group of bumpkins stealing her limelight, she felt discontented.

Upon hearing Wu Yuxin's words, Xia Zhiqing glared back at her with displeasure. "You're not that impressive even if you've seen the world."

She hadn't known Wu Yuxin before, but now that she saw Wu Yuxin standing beside Han Xiling, she knew that Wu Yuxin was their opponent. Naturally, she wouldn't mince her words.

Wu Yuxin was taken aback, looking at Xia Zhiqing angrily. "It's still better than you!"

Baili Hongzhuang's eyebrows slightly furrowed. She hadn't expected Han Xiling and Wu Yuxin to team up, as they seemed to have similar personalities and their words were quite distasteful.

"I don't think so," Xia Zhiqing shrugged indifferently, wearing an innocent expression that clearly showed she didn't regard Wu Yuxin highly.

Baili Hongzhuang had initially planned to speak up in support, but seeing how Xia Zhiqing's sharp tongue had become even more eloquent, she realized that Xia Zhiqing could handle it herself.

Han Xiling patted Wu Yuxin's shoulder, gesturing for her to endure for now. They were about to enter the small world soon, so any action should wait until they were inside. If they exposed their conflicts to others now and later on, if Baili Hongzhuang and the others ended up dead, it would only raise suspicions about their involvement.

Noticing the caution in Han Xiling's eyes, Wu Yuxin took a deep breath and reluctantly suppressed her dissatisfaction. They were all outstanding cultivators selected from the affiliated forces of the Tian Gang Sect, and they were naturally quite proud.

Compared to Han Xiling, Wu Yuxin couldn't help but feel inferior in terms of status, position, and strength. However, when it came to people like Baili Hongzhuang, who had come from a remote and insignificant place, she held them in disdain from the bottom of her heart.

In her opinion, only someone like Han Xiling deserved the title of Young Sect Master.

Emperor Beichen observed the conflict between Wu Yuxin and the others, and a deep and profound light flashed through his deep and vast eyes.
