Ms. Doctor Divine

Clearly, she was quite dissatisfied with Gu Chaoyan\'s response.

However, considering the circumstances within the Xuantian Sect and her own position as the Elder Miss of the Wuji Sect, she nodded and bid Gu Chaoyan farewell.

Mu Weiran was the kind of person who cared little about her reputation. If someone couldn\'t be of use to her, it was better to have no association with them. Otherwise, they could potentially become a threat in the future.

On their way back to the hostel, Mu Weiran had already made up her mind.

Zhao Dier was muttering beside her, but Mu Weiran paid no attention. She returned to her own room and resumed her practice.

Meanwhile, on the way back to the hostel…

Observing that there was no one around, Li Mu cautiously asked, "Lady Chaoyan, are you alright? I sense that the Elder Miss from the Boundless Sect has ulterior motives."

"It\'s fine. I knew that choosing the Golden Rolls would come with its own troubles. Nothing will happen right now, but I need to train myself to prevent being bullied in the future," Gu Chaoyan replied, sounding somewhat distressed.

Li Mu nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

In the world of cultivation, the strong preyed on the weak. As long as one possessed sufficient cultivation, they didn\'t have to worry about such matters.

On that day, instead of returning to the casino for stones, they headed back to the hostel. Gu Chaoyan still had some Spirit Stones left in her storage space, and she decided to forgo further practice. What she needed most was a proper rest. Therefore, she entrusted most of the Spirit Stones to Li Mu so he could commence his practice as soon as possible.

There was no ulterior motive behind her actions.

Since Duan Feng had assigned Li Mu to protect her, Gu Chaoyan felt responsible for his well-being. Having offended Mu Weiran on the Yuehua Continent, she had no idea what the future held. Therefore, the most crucial thing was to help Li Mu advance in his cultivation, enabling him to protect himself if any unforeseen circumstances were to arise.

Gu Chaoyan spent the entire night rejuvenating herself with the magical energy from the Spirit Stones.

The following day…

Li Mu was in a good mental state.

Upon arriving at the Xuantian Sect, everyone wore a grave expression. They were no longer as relaxed as they had been on the first day.

These ten individuals were all highly skilled practitioners who had managed to reach this stage. It wasn\'t easy to outperform the other nine contestants.

Gu Chaoyan\'s face bore a serious expression as well, as she too felt the weight of the pressure.

Before the contest began, Mu Weiran approached Gu Chaoyan and whispered, "You still have one last opportunity to reconsider. Once the contest starts, there\'s no turning back. Are you absolutely certain that you don\'t want to reconsider?"

Gu Chaoyan shook her head, harboring a certain admiration for Mu Weiran.

She couldn\'t help but acknowledge Mu Weiran\'s remarkable patience and tolerance. Despite her intense dislike for Gu Chaoyan, she still engaged in a discussion with her calmly. That was no easy feat.

While Gu Chaoyan had the chance to ask her one more question, she knew that the Wuji Sect was not an alliance she would consider.

Shortly after Mu Weiran\'s speech, the contest commenced.

One by one, the ten participants faced off against each other, with the victors advancing and the losers being eliminated immediately.

Gu Chaoyan found herself pitted against an unfamiliar, fierce-looking opponent.

However…

Despite his formidable appearance, Gu Chaoyan swiftly defeated him.

As he fell, Zhao Dier also collapsed.

As the contest drew to a close, the Xuantian Sect\'s arena lay in ruins, with only two participants remaining.

It was none other than Mu Weiran and Gu Chaoyan.

This outcome had been anticipated by Mu Weiran.

She held the nine-segment whip in her hand.
