321 Everything Is over Now

There was no doubt that Wei Feiyan had obtained the true inheritance this time.

In fact, according to Liu Yuan’s observation, among the contestants this time, there were not many who could compete with Wei Feiyan.

Initially, if he was not there, Wei Feiyan would have had a high chance of winning by a narrow margin. However, after he was there, it became a sure win.

Liu Yuan was like a flaw detector. He was the coach on the field, the old man in the ring, who could make strategies in real-time. The rest was up to Wei Feiyan to play.

Wei Feiyan was indeed worthy of being a strong contestant who had won the tenth place in the Singing Sword contest. The biggest difference between her and the other disciples was that she was stable.

She could basically execute Liu Yuan’s instructions perfectly, drawing inferences from one instance and using it appropriately. It even made Liu Yuan have the illusion that perhaps he was a very talented teacher.

The three-day competition was coming to an end soon. Wei Feiyan had already stabilized in the top three. The only thing left was the battle between the top three. Her progress could be considered rapid, and Liu Yuan did not need to waste his effort to give her any pointers.

When Wei Feiyan defeated her last opponent and stood in the middle of the hall with a confident and beautiful smile, Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

The eyes of the little Sect Master sitting above were still on him, as if she could not get enough of him. At this time, Xu Ping was looking at her own disciple, his eyes full of relief and pride, as if she was watching her own child finally grow up.

The disciples congratulated the new successive disciples in unison, and their envious eyes fell on Wei Feiyan.

No matter how mature and calm Wei Feiyan was, she could not help but become excited at this time. Her face was a little red as he listened to her Aunt-Master personally announcing the list of the successor disciples and congratulating her Junior Niece for entering the forbidden area and obtaining her second Natal Flame.

Liu Yuan could not believe how many times he had been on the verge of an accident in the past three days.

On the first day, Xu Ping came to him at noon, as if she had something to say, but he was flirting with Wei Feiyan, pretending to be guiding him on tactics and getting away with it. But who knew that Wei Feiyan, this little pervert, would say something so shocking and suggest going to her Master’s room?

What was even more shameful was that Liu Yuan felt from the bottom of his heart that he could not refuse…

In the end, when he went to look for Xu Ping in the afternoon to send her away, he happened to run into Jiang Miaoran, who had come to talk to her Senior Sister. Fortunately, he had laid the groundwork well, and Liu Yuan managed to escape unscathed after dealing with her a little. However, his plan was also put on hold.

The next day, Wei Feiyan did not give up. She secretly sent Xu Ping away, and developed even further with Liu Yuan. In the end, Xu Ping came back at the last minute and almost exposed their affair. Fortunately, Liu Yuan’s cultivation was not shallow. Under full alert, he was one step ahead of Wei Feiyan and hid under the bed.

There was only one word that could describe the feeling at that time, and that was excitement.

After Xu Ping finally left, he brought Wei Feiyan back and ran into Jiang Miaoran again.

However, they weren’t so lucky this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was off about the two of them, and it naturally raised Jiang Miaoran’s suspicion.

Fortunately, Jiang Miaoran was not very bright in this regard, and she did not know much about these things. From Wei Feiyan’s expression, she thought that Wei Feiyan had also fallen in love with Liu Yuan.

Although the little Sect Master was jealous, Liu Yuan pretended not to know. She could not force her Martial Niece to change her mind. She could only think to herself that this proved the excellence of the person she liked.

But even so, she subconsciously felt a sense of danger, which made her unwilling to let Liu Yuan continue to stay with Wei Feiyan. She stiffly found an excuse to get this ‘outer disciple’ to perform more chores for her.

As such, Liu Yuan had no choice but to accompany Jiang Miaoran on a tour of her own orchard. He also helped her out by holding her hand.

The day ended with the little Sect Master’s bashful and happy smile.

On the third day, which was today…

From morning until now, Jiang Miaoran’s happiness index had been on the rise, which led to her increasing attention on Liu Yuan. Xu Ping was jealous as well, and once she was jealous, she went against Jiang Miaoran, who was ‘blatantly provoking’ her.

It could be said that Liu Yuan was both hot and cold. He always had to prevent the two of them from saying anything that would expose him. Occasionally, it would be mixed with Wei Feiyan’s various small actions. He was in pain and happy at the same time.

If such days were to continue for a few more days, Liu Yuan felt like he would explode on the spot.

But fortunately, everything was over now.

The Fire Awarding Ceremony officially ended.

Xu Ping also restrained her aggressive momentum, as if she was immersed in his apprentice’s achievements. Her expression was gentle, and her beautiful eyes were even a little wet.

It made Liu Yuan feel that she was not happy for her disciple. Instead, there was a kind of sadness of parting.

He shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking.

Why would Xu Ping leave the Mythical Flame Sect?

Her feelings for the Mythical Flame Sect were the same as her longing for her home. There was no way she would leave.

However, it didn’t matter. He had already planned it out. As soon as the rules of the Mythical Flame Sect were lifted, he could immediately convince Xu Ping to marry him.

Liu Yuan’s eyes scanned the surroundings. Wei Feiyan’s hands were trembling. She did not know if it was because he was excited about winning the championship or because she was nervous about entering the forbidden area.

The little Sect Master was still calm, but she had already started to pay attention to the movements of the other Elders.

“Open the forbidden area!” The master of ceremonies shouted.

Boom…

At the back of the hall, the ancient Phoenix head mechanism opened to both sides. The heavy door that looked like a wall suddenly opened, and a hot wind of flames spread out, blowing on everyone’s faces.

Through the crack of the door, a ray of red light almost shot out.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath.

As long as he waited for the forbidden area to open completely, he could easily hide his traces and enter at such a close distance. Even if he was detected, it would only take an instant.

Furthermore, Jiang Miaoran was a ‘spy’ who would help him block the Elders who tried to stop him.

The clamor around them finally quieted down, and everyone raised their heads in anticipation of the opening of the forbidden area.

A calm female voice suddenly broke the silence.

“Elders, please wait.”

Alarm bells rang in Liu Yuan’s heart, and an ominous premonition suddenly swarmed him.

He followed the voice and saw that it was Xu Ping!

Her crimson muslin clothes fluttered in the wind. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her eyebrows were like a painting. With a determined expression, she said, “I have something to announce.”

Liu Yuan saw that Wei Feiyan’s expression suddenly became anxious, and she probably wanted to say: “I forgot to tell you, my Master said that after the ceremony, she will…”

However, her voice was drowned out by Xu Ping.

I’ve decided to step down from my position as an Elder and withdraw from the Mythical Flame Sect.

In the face of the Elders’ stunned doubts, Xu Ping smiled indifferently and said, “I’ve let the sect down and have an affair with someone else. I feel that I’m too ashamed to face all of you, so I want to take the blame and resign. This is the best decision.”

Gasps of cold air could be heard.

Jiang Miaoran stood up and said blankly, “Senior Sister …” Who is it?”

Xu Ping sighed. “Things have come to this. Do you still want me to say it?”

Her eyes fell on the back of Wei Feiyan, thinking that this would probably create chaos for him and delay some time. She said softly, “Liu Yuan.”

At that moment, Liu Yuan felt that everything was over.
