"Let me see..." Kong Tong Yuer glanced at the compass in her hand, watching as it swayed for a moment before settling on a direction. Following its indication, she saw the three people standing together: Nan Gong Huan and her companions.

  The pointer was clearly pointing at them!

  Hmm... The sect leader said the Purple Star was a woman. So, between the one standing and the one lying down, which one could it be?

  "Excuse me, could you take a couple of steps to the side?" Kong Tong Yuer gestured for Nan Gong Huan to move aside, then tried changing her position to see who the compass would point to.

  Nan Gong Huan remained calm and composed, silently stepping to the side while discreetly observing the identities of these sudden visitors.

  It was clear that all the elders were staring intently, their gazes shifting between her and Nan Gong Qian’er. What did they mean by the "Purple Star" they mentioned earlier?

  Kong Tong Yuer frowned as she looked at the compass in her hand. The pointer seemed to have suddenly malfunctioned. No matter how she changed her position, it remained completely still.

  She broke into a cold sweat, tapping the compass twice. Please don’t tell me it’s broken at a time like this...

  "Yuer, have you figured out who it is?" an elderly woman urged impatiently.

  "Well... the compass suddenly stopped working... but it’s fine! Let me try sensing it instead." Kong Tong Yuer laughed casually, then spotted Song Xi Ran nearby and immediately clung to her like a lifeline.

  She seemed a bit unreliable... Nan Gong Huan couldn’t help but think to herself.

  "Princess... who are these two people? What are their talents like?" Kong Tong Yuer asked nervously.

  "The one standing is Nan Gong Huan, the legitimate daughter of the Nan Gong family. Previously... it seemed her talent was measured at zero. The one on the ground is Nan Gong Qian’er. She was measured at level nine talent, a rare genius indeed," Song Xi Ran explained.

  "Level nine?" Kong Tong Yuer was astonished. Such a genius was hard to come by... There’s no doubt, the Purple Star must be her!

  As for the other one... zero talent? That’s also unheard of...

  Never mind, the one with high talent must undoubtedly be the Purple Star!

  At that moment, Nan Gong Qian’er slowly regained consciousness. Still unaware of what had happened, she sat up groggily, frowning as she tried to recall the events before she fainted, but her mind was blank.

  If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Nan Gong Huan glanced at her sideways. With such a grand entrance from these people, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

  Just then, Kong Tong Yuer pointed at Nan Gong Qian’er and declared confidently, "It’s her! She’s the Purple Star!"

  The moment she was pointed at, Nan Gong Qian’er immediately felt the intense gazes of everyone fall upon her. A group of old men and women crowded around her, pushing Nan Gong Jing Tian aside, and despite the rotten eggs and vegetables on her, they affectionately took her hands!

  "What’s your name? Nan Gong Qian’er, right? Would you like to become my disciple? Join the Qingyun Sect, and I’ll ensure your path to greatness!"

  "Don’t listen to them! Come to the Ice Moon Academy! We’ll provide you with all the cultivation resources you need! We can even cure the spots on your face!"

  "They’re all weak! Become my personal disciple, and I’ll teach you everything I know!"

  The elders were going crazy to recruit her!

  Meanwhile, the onlookers were stunned!

  What was going on? Nan Gong Qian’er, who had almost been sentenced to death, was miraculously coming back to life!

  Wei Yu Gong, who had been observing from the shadows, also widened his eyes. Qian’er was the Purple Star? Then what about him... He clenched his fists tightly, seemingly making a decision.

  Nan Gong Huan stood to the side, looking bewildered, and whispered to Ye Wan Jun, "What do they mean by the Purple Star?"

  Ye Wan Jun was surprised. "You don’t know? We’ve all heard the rumors. The Purple Star represents great fortune. Whichever faction obtains this person will have a bright future. It’s said that the Purple Star is located in our Jianglou City. Ah, it’s really a stroke of luck for that poisonous woman."

  No wonder these elders were crazier than shoppers during a supermarket sale! Nan Gong Huan understood, but she still found it hard to accept.

  If it were someone upright and kind, she might have believed it. But how could someone as malicious as Nan Gong Qian’er be the Purple Star?

  At the judges’ platform, Song Xi Ran looked somewhat troubled and asked softly, "Yuer, are you sure she’s the Purple Star?"

  "Ah, did something happen earlier?" Kong Tong Yuer’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly realizing that her earlier decision might have been too hasty.

  But the compass had malfunctioned, and her astrological skills weren’t fully developed...

  "Nan Gong Qian’er and her mother colluded to plant Gu worms in many people, using them to control others. It’s truly..." Song Xi Ran didn’t finish her sentence, but Kong Tong Yuer understood.

  Such behavior truly didn’t deserve the title of Purple Star!

  But Nan Gong Qian’er’s talent was high! Kong Tong Yuer was suddenly conflicted, but then she remembered what her grandfather had said: The Purple Star possesses immense strength and can stand out among ordinary people.

  "Wait, has Nan Gong Qian’er already reached the Second Spirit Stage?" Kong Tong Yuer suddenly realized that breaking through to the Second Spirit Stage at this age was a sign of immense strength!

  "Yes... She’s the only one in this trial who broke through to the Second Spirit Stage. Everyone else is still at the First Spirit Stage," Song Xi Ran said.

  Of course, Nan Gong Huan hadn’t revealed her cultivation level to anyone except Ye Wan Jun, so naturally, no one knew.

  "Then it must be her! Such rapid cultivation speed, outstanding and top-tier strength—it has to be her!" Kong Tong Yuer concluded firmly, solidifying her belief.

  She must have made the right choice!

  Amid the chatter of the crowd, Nan Gong Qian’er finally understood that she was the Purple Star the Yunxing Sect had been referring to!

  At that moment, a sense of triumphant comeback surged within her, and her superiority complex made her straighten her back, though the black spots on her face made her appear somewhat ugly.

  Where is that wretch, Nan Gong Huan? Where is she?

  "Esteemed elders, I understand your enthusiasm, but I’d like to address one matter first," Nan Gong Qian’er said, glancing at her disheveled state and casting a cleansing spell to make herself look more presentable.
