After Zhou Yun arrived at the back mountain, he realized that there were already many disciples waiting.
The senior sister and Qiao'er had arrived a long time ago. When Qiao'er saw Zhou Yun, she called him big brother Zhou Yun again, then rushed toward him.
Seeing Qiao'er rushing towards him, Zhou Yun felt resigned. Every time Qiao'er saw him, she would be so excited as if she hadn't seen him in a few years.
Before Zhou Yun could roll his eyes, he realized that all the inner sect disciples present were looking at him with complicated expressions.
There was indifference, hatred, jealousy, and disdain. Looking at these people's faces, Zhou Yun said to himself, "Why isn't there any admiration?" They seemed to take it for granted that he was a pill-refining genius.
"Is there no one in the entire inner sect who likes to refine pills?" he thought.
Looking at these people's expressions, Zhou Yun smiled slightly. It didn't matter how these people looked at him as long as it didn't affect his life. However, if they really wanted to go against him, Zhou Yun assumed he had to teach them a lesson.
At the thought of this, Zhou Yun's smile gradually turned into a cold smile.
"Excuse me, friend, please make a hole!" A cold voice came from behind Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun turned his head and looked at the person indifferently.
"The road is so wide. Why do you have to pass through here?"
"There are so many roads you can take, but you have to make things difficult for me, right?" he thought.
Zhou Yun looked at the young man in front of him, but he did not move.
The other inner disciples were all shocked when they saw the young man.
"Hello, Junior Brother!"
The crowd all greeted him. They were clearly very respectful of this young man.
Hearing the crowd's shouts, Zhou Yun realized that this person was Junior Brother, Meng Fei'ang!
He looked at Meng Fei'ang again and found that Meng Fei'ang was also at the ninth stage of Qi cultivation.
This shocked Zhou Yun. Of everyone present, only he and Meng Fei'ang were at the ninth stage of Qi cultivation.
"Zhou Yun, step aside. Can't you see you're blocking Senior Brother Meng's way?"
A shout came from the crowd, interrupting Zhou Yun's train of thoughts.
"According to their ranks, glory disciples seem to be of a higher rank than the Senior Brothers, right?"
Zhou Yun's eyes narrowed as he sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately came out to criticize Zhou Yun.
"Senior Brother Meng is the person closest to Qi disciple stage ten in the past hundred years. Once he breaks through to Qi disciple stage ten, the sect will immediately promote him to a glory disciple."
"And you, a piece of trash who relied on refining pills to become a glory disciple, what makes you think you can compete with Senior Brother?"
Hearing this, Qiao'er couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and said, "It's not like you're the ones advancing. What are you all so arrogant for? And didn't your last attempt fail?"
Another inner sect disciple stood up. "There is a reason for my failure last time. I'll definitely succeed this time! And no matter what, I just can't accept that Zhou Yun became a glory disciple through refining pills!"
Qiao'er tried her best to defend Zhou Yun. "If you're so good, why don't you refine some pills too? There's more than one spot for the glory disciple position. You guys could have gone up too. It still doesn't work, right?"
"Do any of you have the same talent as brother Zhou Yun? Are you guys as handsome as him? Do you all attract the attention of the female disciples as much as him? Can you eat as much as he does? Can you..."
Qiao'er asked more than ten questions in a row. She was just trying to humiliate these disciples.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned by Qiao'er's words.
Even Zhou Yun was dumbfounded. He wondered if he was really as powerful as she said. "And why does eating a lot become an advantage of mine?" he thought.
Zhou Yun was touched by Qiao'er's words.
However, as aggressive as Qiao'er's sounded, her words did not convince these disciples. On the contrary, they just hated Zhou Yun even more.
Although the crowd had stopped talking, their dissatisfaction with Zhou Yun grew.
Zhou Yun could even see the burning flames in their eyes. It was obvious that these people were even angrier.
At this moment, Senior Sister Su Wanyi walked out.
She said softly, "Everyone, stop quarreling. Although Junior Brother Zhou Yun's cultivation level is the lowest, his talent in refining pills is undeniable. Everyone has their own strengths, so don't look down on others. We must all live in harmony!"
Su Wanyi had naturally seen the anger in everyone's eyes. She was worried that Zhou Yun would be bullied because of this, so she came out to mediate.
"Many thanks, Senior Sister!"
"You're welcome. Your cultivation is the lowest. No matter what, I'll have to look out for you!"
Su Wanyi smiled at Zhou Yun gently.
After Su Wanyi's persuasion, the inner sect disciples present temporarily held back their anger and did not dare to flare up.
What she didn't know was that Meng Fei'ang had been pissed off by her smile at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun clearly felt this. He could clearly feel that this Senior Brother's anger was even stronger than that of the inner sect disciple just now. He even developed a murderous aura.
Meng Fei'ang stared at Zhou Yun coldly for a long time before he looked away. He was furious, but Su Wanyi was here, so he couldn't show it.
"Zhou Yun, I thought you were just a nobody. But since you dared to speak to Wanyi in front of me, I'll really have to teach you a lesson!" he thought.
Meng Fei'ang had always regarded Su Wanyi as his exclusive property and would never allow anyone to speak to her. But today, Su Wanyi defended Zhou Yun, spoke up for him, and even smiled at him. This made Meng Fei'ang furious.
Zhou Yun saw the anger and killing intent in Meng Fei'ang's eyes. He really wanted to tell Qiao'er and Su Wanyi that they didn't have to protect him like this!
"If you didn't defend me, at most a few people will hate me."
"Now that you're so protective of me, I feel like I've become the enemy of all the disciples!" he thought.
Zhou Yun laughed bitterly in his heart when he saw the hatred in everyone's eyes. "I'm sure they want to kill me and bury me in some secret place now," he thought.
He believed he had just made a mistake.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't want to become a glory disciple. Now there was nothing he could do so as not to be recognized.
No matter where Zhou Yun went, he would be the center of attention, be it for him or against him. In short, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile.
"The sect leader has arrived!"
With a shout, everyone's thoughts were interrupted, and they quickly looked up at the sky.
The figures of several white-haired elders slowly appeared in the sky and finally stood in the void.
Among them, an old man in luxurious clothes stood in the middle. He was the sect leader.
"Your majesty, sir!"
Everyone bowed in unison!
"Everyone, I hereby announce the beginning of the inner sect trial!"
