Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Cultivation, realm, magic treasure, Dao artifact, martial equipment, these are the main components of a person's overall strength. Su Yi is currently in a state without a handy magic treasure, suitable cultivation techniques, or fitting special Dao techniques.

It's not that Liu Tangxi is withholding knowledge or unwilling to guide her, but rather, she doesn't have any suitable demon cultivation techniques at hand. If she blindly teaches something unsuitable, it could lead to issues.

So, on regular days, the only guidance she can offer is for the other person to learn some skills. However, Su Yi's skill tree is almost entirely focused on... support aspects.

Yes, she's a healer.

Her characteristic and element are both wood, primarily aiding others in healing and cultivation. She often actively snuggles into her husband's bed, circulating cultivation techniques to assist in his cultivation.

Though not as convenient and fast as dual cultivation at zero distance, this quality furnace still shows her importance, allowing someone to jump an entire great realm in just three years, even in this indirect manner.

However, the old problem remains. This so-called martial arts competition segment itself isn't suitable for a healer to compete, leaving Su Yi looking rather helpless.

"Senior brother, I have something to ask."

The always silent Bai Yu suddenly spoke.

With a gesture of invitation, it was evident that recently, this girl has been quite close to Yan Fengchun. It could be seen that the young man is genuinely interested in the Purple Cloud Palace disciples, not just for their looks but because their strength, ability, and background are all clean and impeccable.

For the environment where Yan Fengchun lived, meeting such a girl is indeed rare. Moreover, with such talent no less than his own, combined with the reputation of Swordmaster Peak disciples, Jiang Feng can't imagine how their family would find any reason to reject such a perfect daughter-in-law.

Clearing her throat, the young woman calmly asked, "Senior brother, our Purple Cloud Immortal Palace has always emphasized fairness and justice. If we were to privately exchange jade tokens, wouldn't that violate sect regulations, even if the sect doesn't hold us accountable? Morally, we would be at a disadvantage."

Very straightforward and a statement consistent with her personality.

Everyone looked at Jiang Feng, except for the new junior sister who maintained a smiling expression, as if she had already seen through everything.

No choice, those from the Imperial Family tend to have many thoughts, especially this one.

The young girl, barely an adult, holds real power in her hands, unlike a puppet princess.

"Sister Bai Yu, those are incorrect thoughts. In my opinion, this is the sect providing us disciples with a second choice, or rather, another kind of test."

She proactively initiated the topic.

Bai Yu's expression was startled, instinctively glancing at Jiang Feng.

However, he only smiled, gesturing for the junior sister to continue. In the entire mountain gate, there were just two people who could have genuine discussions with Jiang Feng. Naturally, he was very pleased if Liang Yu was willing to help relax the pressure.

With her senior brother's approval, Liang Yu no longer hesitated. Naturally, she picked up a teacup from the table and softly said, "I once supervised two imperial exams. During each final and interview, my father personally monitored the exams. Tens of thousands of talented scholars gathered, creating quite a lively scene."

"With joy for some and sorrow for others, while some might succeed and top the rankings, others would always be rejected. However, my father never disregarded those who failed. He would personally visit each examination room."

"He selected some exam papers and candidates who employed trickery, took them back to the palace for thorough review, and investigated their backgrounds."

"Within these, even though some essays contained radical ideas and the thoughts seemed whimsical, my father tirelessly sifted through them time and again. Ultimately, he selected some individuals from among those who employed trickery and underperformed, assigning them crucial roles across the country."

"Initially, I didn't understand my father's purpose, but now it seems this is exactly like the rules of the Nine Peaks martial competition within the sect."

The girl smiled slightly, merely using her way to convey her thoughts, or rather the hidden implications of the sect to her fellow sisters.

"Not everyone is suitable for combat. Sister Su Yi is proficient in the Five Elements, excelling in wood, and lacks a handy magic treasure or suitable Daoist skill. In combat, compared to those specializing in body cultivation, she would inevitably be at a disadvantage."

"In my humble view, Sister Su Yi should be responsible for war preparations or healing the injured in the rear. She isn't suitable for one-on-one combat. The most suitable scenario would be a battle between two factions where a Five Elements wood-biased healer is the blessing of the whole team."

"Her contribution can't be compared to a few at the Core Formation Stage."

Upon hearing this, everyone started gradually understanding Liang Yu's intention. Even Liu Tangxi stood outside the door at some point, silently listening to the conversation of these young ones.

These little ones are much more outstanding than she had imagined.

"But in face of established rules, it's still somewhat disadvantageous. You must know, the sect's intention of hosting such martial competitions is naturally to select various talents. And these talents aren't limited to combat; they cover all fields."

"Thus appeared the so-called jade tokens entrusted to us for self-keeping."

As she spoke, the young girl gently took out a jade token from her bosom.

Immaculately white and of unique material, its aura couldn't be fully concealed even in a Qiankun Bag. This jade token is not only a symbol for contestants but also a form of indirect supervision.

In other words, the elders, Peak Masters, and protectors definitely know what's going on in their hearts.
