Chapter 72

“……”

It was unclear whether it was Ye Qiao’s “hey hey hey” that had such penetrating power or if the expressions of the disciples were just too amusing, but the scene became quite comical for a moment.

Ye Qiao swaggered forward, reached out, and poked the petrified Third Senior Brother.

“Hey?”

She then pushed Su Zhuo without hesitation, “Are you dumbfounded?”

“Ye Qiao!!”

Finally, someone snapped out of it, and the shrill screams of all the disciples almost blew Ye Qiao away.

What’s scarier than a Nascent Soul stage saintess? What’s scarier is that this person is Ye Qiao!

Mu Chongxi: “Ah!”

Xue Yu: “Ah!”

Mingxuan: “Ah!”

“Hey, hey, hey.” Ye Qiao waved her hand in front of them. “Have you all gone crazy?”

Mingxuan and Mu Chongxi exchanged a glance and turned into screaming marmots again: “Aaaah!!”

The thought of their little sister becoming a saintess was just too terrifying.

Zhou Xingyun directly grabbed her, pulled her face, and after confirming it was indeed their little sister, seemed to be contemplating life, his expression a bit off.

Ye Qiao rubbed her face and, seeing the scene turn so bizarre because of her, spoke in a cheerful tone: “Relax, there are only a few Golden Core stage demons left. We’ve completed our mission; we can return to the sect now.”

Chu Xingzhi, seeing the crisis averted, rushed over to his senior brother and started scolding him, “Senior Brother, you’ve fallen! How did you end up with Ye Qiao?”

What he really wanted to ask was, how on earth did you end up as one of Ye Qiao’s chief protectors?

Originally, they had imagined Ye Qinghan to be just a boy toy.

But it’s best not to share that guess with Ye Qinghan.

Ye Qinghan could only silently utter four words: “Circumstances forced me.”

If he could avoid teaming up with the Changming Sect members, he would. But at that time, aside from trusting Ye Qiao, there was no other way.

And truth be told, despite her crazy antics, following Ye Qiao was actually quite enjoyable.

The sect leaders, upon the completion of their mission, started sending jade slips to each other, signaling to return quickly to discuss the mission rewards.

As for cleaning up the mess? That was left to the five sects, who had braced for a fierce battle but ended up fighting nothing but their own shadows, with Ye Qiao giving them a good scare.

They all looked like wilted cabbage, utterly listless.

Qin Fanfan couldn’t help but chuckle, imagining the horrified faces of the disciples, even without a memory stone to capture the moment. The kids’ imaginations were quite rich.

“The mission was very well completed,” he cleared his throat. “The reward for this mission is the Chaos Pearl.”

“After our discussion, the Chaos Pearl will be awarded to Ye Qiao of the Changming Sect. Does anyone have any objections?”

There wasn’t really a need to discuss this. If not Ye Qiao, then who?

“I object!”

Su Zhuo was the first to voice his dissatisfaction.

That was rare.

“The first to protest isn’t Song Hansheng,” Xue Yu remarked, surprised.

Mu Chongxi: “Maybe he’s been convinced.” After all, Song Hansheng had watched Ye Qiao show off from start to finish.

“Why should she be first?”

Not only Su Zhuo, but other uninformed disciples were also somewhat dissatisfied:

“She didn’t really do anything, right?”

Qin Fanfan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, confirming once more, “Are you all unhappy about her getting the Chaos Pearl?”

“That’s right!”

“Alright then.” Qin Fanfan turned to Ye Qiao, who still seemed indifferent and oblivious to the situation, “Ye Qiao, take out the memory stone from your bag and play it for them.”

Ye Qiao was momentarily stunned, “Oh.”

Every time she entered a secret realm, she would stash a memory stone in her bag. She even carried a few extra for fun. After infiltrating the demon tribe, Ye Qiao, with her modern habits, had instinctively recorded everything.

There are still 3,000 more characters to go. Let me grab something to eat first!
