Chapter Eighty-One: Waiting

  As November draws to a close, winter is gradually coming into people's view, but at this time, the Valley of Yin Wind has already entered winter!

  In the depths of winter, the cold wind howls and wails incessantly, sounding eerily mournful.

  In front of the White Ape Mountain Cave, a young girl sat quietly, her long black hair shining and smooth, scattered on her shoulders, swaying gently in the cold wind, three thousand strands of hair dancing in the air, elegant beyond compare. Matching the simple clothes she wore, it showed off her almost perfect slender figure, making it hard for people to forget at a glance.

  Her skin shone with a lustrous glow, like cream, and her bright eyes now showed a hint of expectation and waiting. Her small red lips rose slightly, whispering softly, adding a touch of vibrant color to the dull winter season.

  "Still no one?" Gazing at the empty venue, after a long while, the girl threw away the withered grass in her hand and muttered to herself.

  It's been ten days since that day. In these ten days, she almost came here every day to take a look, because the young man told himself when he left that he was cultivating in this area.

  "Bastard, he must be cheating me!" The girl couldn't help but complain.

  Her face was slightly red, as if recalling the scene of fighting side by side that day, a hint of a smile appeared.

  "Hey, Xīn'ér, what's wrong with you? You haven't gotten many points in the past few days. If this continues, do you still want to be first place this month?" The gentle voice from behind pulled the girl back from her thoughts.

  "Hey, look at Xiang'er sister sneaking a smile just now. She's been coming over here every day recently. Zi Lan sister, I bet Xiang'er sister has definitely fallen in love, yeah, no mistake about it. Still thinking about that guy you fought with the other day?" A petite and slightly eccentric-looking girl chimed in teasingly.

  "Ke'er, why are you teasing Xiner again? Can't you see she's blushing?" said the girl known as Zilan with a reproachful expression.

  But words and expressions were adding fuel to the fire.

  "Haha, okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. We know that Xiang'er sister is thinking of spring and that's all. If others find out that Xiang'er sister is secretly smiling foolishly by herself here, I'm afraid the whole courtyard will be in an uproar!" Ke'er chimed in, playing along.

  Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter and chatter, with only Liu Xiangyan's discontented complaints and her flushed face standing out.

  "Hmph, who's waiting for someone here? I...I was just looking around to see if I'd run into Bai Yuan again. You two, humph, the clockwork fluid I gave you that day was wasted on you!" Seeing the two continue to tease her, Liu Xiangyan finally couldn't help but start fighting back.

  "Haha, I know, Xinger sister is waiting for Bai Yuan, haha... That ugly guy made Xinger sister miss him, but it seems that the clock milk is not so easy to get? Is Xinger sister waiting for Bai Yuan to appear and then that person will reappear and fight side by side with you?" Ke'er continued to play her weird role, teasing.

  If someone else were here, they would definitely be shocked. Normally, in the Starlight Sect, who doesn't know about Liu Xiangyan's personality? In front of outsiders, that calm and serious side, who has ever seen her being so shy and playful like a little girl? Who has ever seen such a cute and lovely side? At this moment, she is very similar to Ke'er.

  "Whatever, I won't bother with you guys anymore. Where are the others? How did you all come here?" After a round of teasing, the girls finally calmed down, and Liu Xiangyan asked Ke'er.

  "They're organizing a hunting competition! The end of the month is approaching, and everyone is rushing to accumulate points. Xinger sister, it's not me saying this, but you've been in first place for eight consecutive months now, you can't relax at this time, you should seize the opportunity instead. Now look, your ranking has even dropped to fifth place this month! Zilan sister, isn't that right?" said Jifen with a pout, complaining about her points.

  "It's like this, the competition for points this month is still very fierce, especially in the top ten. I heard that Wang Chen has also joined the competition, who knows, maybe he'll even make it into the top ten this month!" Upon hearing this, Zilan couldn't help but furrow her brow and mutter to herself.

  Thinking of that newcomer who has been overwhelmingly strong recently, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about!

  "Is that the new player who broke into the top 90 and then broke into the top 20 last month, Wang Chen?" asked Liu Xiangyan with a slightly furrowed brow.

  Nowadays, there are really not many people outside the door who don't know Wang Chen, let alone her! This Wang Chen has been making a big splash for two months, entering the top 20 in his second month as a newcomer, and even surpassing the achievement of Liu Yuanxiu's older brother three years ago! Can he really break into the top ten this month?

  It's hard not to get an unbelievable feeling at this point.

  "That Wang Chen I know, yeah, his points had almost reached 500 yesterday, and he killed all the way to 15th place. According to Xiang Qiankan, this month he's going to break into the top ten!" As soon as they mentioned Wang Chen, Ke'er on the side also got excited.

  "What did Xiang Gan say? That shouldn't be fake, that guy's information is still reliable! But who exactly is this Wang Chen, I heard he only has the strength of a 9th-level Body Refiner? Is it really possible for him to be so strong and kill his way into the top ten?" Zilan asked with a hint of doubt, looking at Ke'er. Among the few people present, this little girl was the most cunning and knew the most.

  On one side, Liu Xiangyan was also curious and looked at Ke'er as if asking something.

  "I don't know either, Wang Chen is very mysterious, every time we go back he has already finished handing over the points, I haven't seen him either. But I heard that he is indeed very strong, several times encountering first-class true martial artists to plunder and nothing happened, since entering the sect, only been plundered twice, both of which occurred last month."

  It's hard for ordinary people to rob him, that guy is good at hiding, I think he's just some despicable person, humph, definitely not a good thing, only knows how to hide, otherwise why would he want to use his cultivation of the 9th stage to kill his way into the top thirty?

  Xinger sister, next time we meet him, we must take good care of him and rob him thoroughly! Let's line up and take turns robbing him! Ah, that's it, let him know that the Star Sect is not without masters, but just doesn't bother to deal with him!" As she said this, Ke'er showed a face full of excitement, eager to try, as if at this moment, Wang Chen was already standing in front of her waiting to be robbed.

  "What time did he join, midnight or dawn?" Liu Xiangyan asked doubtfully after a moment of thought.

  "There are many teams that have invited him, but he doesn't know what's good for him and hasn't joined any of them!" Ke Er said with indignation.

  "Is that so? Ah, Wang Chen! How interesting!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangyan muttered to herself.

  He actually refused everyone's invitation, doesn't he know that doing so is equivalent to offending many people in a subtle way?

  Others wanted to join the team but didn't have the chance, yet he refused. With his strength at the 9th stage of Body Refining, he's a dime a dozen in the Starry Sky Sect. Is he really ignorant of his own mortality or is he arrogant to that extent?!

  To know, the people who enter the Star Chart, those who do not join an organization are only two kinds of people. One is that they are arrogant to the extreme, and this kind of person will only end up being extremely miserable, frequently suffering from looting, and their ranking will either remain stagnant in a distant place or advance slowly, even taking a year's time to make little progress. As for the top thirty or even top ten on the leaderboard, they can only gaze longingly! Of course, some people may be even more tragic, causing their ranking to plummet drastically! This type of person occupies the vast majority!

  Another kind of genius has real talent and strength, but is unwilling to join in. There are two possible outcomes for such people: one is that they may spend several times more effort than others to reach the same height, or they may burst into prominence with a strong momentum, like the top ten on the Star Chart, such as Kuang Ren and Xiang Qian Kan.

  And this Wang Chen, with his 9th-stage Body Refining strength, is clearly one of those who are overly self-confident. How much longer can he hold on in the Starry Sky Ranking? It's hard not to be curious.

  Naturally, if one insists on saying there is a third type of person, then that person must be an idiot. The final result would be directly topping the Star Chart, and such examples are not uncommon.

  "Let's go and take a look!" Thinking that the hunt was still going on, Liu Xiangyan looked at the empty space in front of her with reluctance and said unwillingly.

  However, just as a few people had just walked out of the dense forest and were about to go take a look at the hunting circle, they saw several people rushing forward in front of them, as if something had happened.

  "Hey, what's going on with you guys?!" Ke'er asked curiously as she walked up to the scene.

  "Ke'er, Xiner sister, and Zilan sister are also here, just in time. There's a beast hunt arena on the other side of our valley that's being robbed by someone, I heard someone was even robbed. Just now, someone came to ask for help, let's go take a look!"

  "They've stolen our You Beast and now it's been robbed, isn't this still not the open period? Hmph, it must be Zi Ye and Tian Ming's people who did it. Otherwise, no one would dare to steal our Red Sleeve's You Beast!" Hearing this, Ke'er suddenly gained energy, clenching her small fist and shouting loudly.

  "I heard that the person who isn't from Subei or Tianming is extremely powerful, and has already robbed two people at the 9th level of Body Refining!" As she said this, the woman furrowed her brow, seemingly also having some doubts.

  The Starlight Pearl that can sweep away two 9th-stage Body Refiners in a row is no trivial matter, and it's likely that the person who came is already among the True Warriors. Among the outer sect members of Xingchen Sect, there are over thirty people who have entered the ranks of True Warriors, and they all seem to know each other. Now that we haven't yet entered the final sweep phase, I understand that as a Red Sleeve member, you won't take the initiative to attack and sweep away.

  "Go, take a look!" Yu Xiangyan seemed slightly calmer, but his face was noticeably darker. He gave orders to several people and ran forward first, followed closely by Ke'er, Zilan and others.
