The two men had just seen Ye Liuyun from afar dressed as an inner sect disciple, so they saluted her the moment she landed. But when Ye Liuyun approached them, they realized that the person was actually a great beauty.
The two of them were stunned at the same time. Their eyes were extremely masculine. There was no need to look at them. These two were probably gender-changed female disciples assigned from other sects.
Ye Liuyun knew the look in the man and the woman's eyes at a glance. This was already experience.
"Sister, you can't do that. This is a rule set by the elders and sisters. We are all female disciples at Caiyun Peak, so we must be polite." One of the female disciples smiled slightly, but it was obviously a forced smile.
Ye Liuyun thought about it, then moved closer to the two of them and asked in a low voice.
"You were men before, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately felt awkward. They both showed an obviously embarrassed expression. What they feared most now was that their previous identities would be discovered because it was too embarrassing.
"Well, senior sister, are you the same?" one of them asked in a low voice.
Ye Liuyun smiled and nodded.
When the two men saw Ye Liuyun nod, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.
"Ah! Since we came to Caiyun Peak, our days have been like years. We never thought that there would be such a day." The guard disciple on the left sighed.
Perhaps because they met someone who was willing to pay attention to them, these guard disciples became a little unstable.
"Eh? What's wrong? I've been practicing in seclusion at home for some time, and I don't know what has happened in the sect in the past few months, but I know that the sect requires disciples who have changed their gender to be reassigned to factions. Could it be that Caiyun Peak is not treating you well?" Ye Liuyun guessed.
When the other party heard this, he nodded aggrievedly again.
After they were assigned to Caiyun Peak, they were like inferior people and were targeted everywhere by the former female disciples. It was difficult for them to be treated fairly by Caiyun Peak. Anyway, there was a certain degree of discrimination and exclusion.
In accordance with the sect's requirements, they were also working very hard to learn how to be qualified female monks, but these three months were more difficult than their usual three years. Some high-ranking female disciples at Caiyun Peak treated them like maids and slaves.
Anyway, they were not treated as same-sex people, and each of them was given a blue card. What was the purpose of this card? It was to tell others that she was a male monk before, to prevent these transgender female monks from mixing into the real female monk group.
There were also many places in Caiyun Peak where they were not allowed to enter, and even the accommodation was allocated separately, and they were not allowed to live with the original female disciples.
After hearing what the two said, Ye Liuyun sighed in her heart. She didn't think that these female disciples of Caiyun Peak did anything wrong, because, as a normal person, if the male disciples around you become women, can they immediately think that you are the same kind? Obviously, even Ye Liuyun herself didn't believe this sentence. The first reaction of a normal person is two words: "perverted".
At least in the eyes of most female disciples of the Yun Sect, it is difficult for them to regard these former brothers and sisters for the time being. They need time to trust each other.
Of course, there are a few male disciples who are female-to-male transitions. It is also difficult for them to get along normally with the real male disciples. It is the same for them all.
However, the male disciples did not show much rejection. At most, they just didn't like their shy look and knew that they all had difficulties.
"Eh? Take it slow. They may just think that women like us are only half women. After a while, there shouldn't be any problem. By the way, why do I feel that our faction's dojo is so quiet? Did something happen?" Ye Liuyun asked.
When the guard disciple saw Ye Liuyun asking this, he quickly explained.
"Oh, that's right. The Nanling Festival is coming soon. According to the rules of the Nanling Festival, small sects can only send ten disciples to participate, and medium-sized sects can send a maximum of fifty people. Because we are a direct subordinate of the Supreme Induction Sect, we have an additional fifty places, so our Yun Sect has a hundred places to participate. But you know, this is an opportunity to rise to heaven in one step, and everyone in the sect will definitely want to participate."
"But the number of places is limited. We have more than ten thousand people in the Yun Sect. One hundred places, even if we distribute the sect's powerful disciples from high to low, are not enough. Finally, the sect decided to hold a sect conference for three months from October to December." The disciple explained.
Ye Liuyun understood what this meant. It was already September and the sect conference would begin next month. All those who wanted to participate would definitely go out to practice, so it was so deserted.
"Oh, I understand. Hey, there are more than 10,000 people in the sect. How can they compete? Is it a one-on-one duel?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
The guard disciple shook his head.
"Definitely not. Before the sect conference begins, there will be a Monster Hunting Conference. Aren't there many monsters in our Yunhai Mountains? At that time, all the disciples who want to participate in the Nanling event will participate in the Monster Hunting Conference. The top one thousand disciples in the Monster Hunting Conference will then participate in the sect conference, and finally compete for one hundred places through martial arts competitions." The guard disciple explained.
Ye Liuyun smiled when she heard this. In that case, she wouldn't need to ask Lin Aoxue to take her to the Nanling Festival. It would be a good opportunity to verify her own abilities. If she couldn't even pass the competition for the internal quota of Lianyun Sect, then forget about the Nanling Festival.
After all, the disciples sent by the major sects for this grand event are all the elites in the sect, and no one would send weak disciples to make up the numbers.
"Oh, I understand. Thank you. I have been practicing in seclusion and almost forgot the time. I will leave first." Ye Liuyun took back the tassels and entered the Caiyun Peak faction headquarters under the puzzled gazes of the two.
"Strange, isn't the inner sect senior sister who is in the early stage of Lingxi Realm too weak?" The two couldn't help but talk.
Although Caiyun Peak is a faction, it has an independent and complete sect system that is more comprehensive than Yunxia Sect.
After Ye Liuyun entered, he spent half an hour touring around Caiyun Peak before he came to the Caiyun Peak faction library. According to the rules, new inner disciples could go to the second floor of the library and choose any technique to practice.
Ye Liuyun couldn't miss this free martial arts technique. Now that he was here, he had to go in and take a look.
Although she cannot practice magic, she can still learn weapon routines.
But when entering the library, Ye Liuyun encountered trouble.
"Stop." The female disciple at the door of the library called out to Ye Liuyun with a serious face.
Ye Liuyun knew what the other party meant, so he spoke.
"Two senior sisters, I am a new inner disciple. According to the rules, I can enter the second level and choose any part of the exercises to practice. This is my token." Ye Liuyun said.
But Ye Liuyun may have misunderstood what they meant.
"A new disciple? A male disciple assigned from other factions?" One of the female disciples immediately became displeased when she saw that Ye Liuyun did not have an identity tag representing a male.
They had set a temporary rule at Caiyun Peak that any male disciple had to wear an identity badge, otherwise they would be considered to have ulterior motives and be plotting something bad.
Ye Liuyun said that she was new and didn't have a name tag, which naturally made them unhappy. They directly treated Ye Liuyun as a male disciple.
"No, I'm a disciple of Caiyun Peak." Ye Liuyun explained quickly.
However, the number of disciples of Caiyun Peak is the smallest among all factions, and there are even fewer inner disciples, so if they are old disciples, they all know each other, but obviously, they have never seen Ye Liuyun.
"What? You are an old disciple? Who are you kidding? Why don't we know you? Early Lingxi Realm? When did we have an inner sect cultivator as weak as you in Caiyun Peak?" These female disciples became even more unhappy. They felt that Ye Liuyun had deceived them.
"Eh? No, really, I started here three months ago. My name is Ye Liuyun, you can check it out." Ye Liuyun was speechless.
But her words caused these women to misunderstand even more, because these disciples who were assigned here also joined the sect three months ago.
"Three months ago? That's right. During this period, we have only had male disciples assigned here. How could there be any new female disciples? Who are you kidding?" The leading female cultivator of the second level of the Taoist Palace said angrily.
Ye Liuyun still wanted to explain, but it was a pity that the other party didn't give him a chance, and there was a high probability that he would not believe what Ye Liuyun said.
Ye Liuyun has not been to Caiyun Peak since she joined the sect, so others may not have heard of her name.
Chapter 267: Forced to Take Action (4000 words)
"Junior sister, slap this newcomer in the face. She's full of lies. Teach her the rules of Caiyun Peak." The leading female disciple guarding the library immediately gave the order to her junior sister in displeasure.
After receiving the order, the female disciple immediately walked towards Ye Liuyun indifferently and raised her hand to slap Ye Liuyun in the face.
During this period, the disciples of Caiyun Peak were extremely strict in treating the disciples assigned from other factions.
In fact, they also have a sense of crisis, and can only use this kind of high-pressure rectification method to declare to outsiders that they are the masters of Caiyun Peak.
The total number of female disciples assigned from other factions is nearly two thousand more than the number of female disciples from Caiyun Peak who have not become men. They are afraid that these androgynous outsiders will dominate.
From the perspective of the disciples of Caiyun Peak, it is normal to have a sense of crisis. After all, the world of cultivation is not a place for peaceful coexistence. Peaceful coexistence is only possible when the strength is equal.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly. These women were really hostile. She could understand the sadness of those disciples at the entrance of the faction.
But Ye Liuyun is not the kind of person who is easy to bully. She had to keep a low profile before because she didn't have the ability. Now she has enough ability to deal with troubles, so she can't keep being tolerant. Keeping being tolerant will only make others think that she is easy to bully.
"Hey! You can't blame me for this. You were the one who started it first." Ye Liuyun complained in his heart.
After saying this, Ye Liuyun's body suddenly flashed rapidly and he easily dodged the slap from the female disciple.
The female disciple was stunned; her hand missed.
"This? He was dodged, just an early Lingxi realm?" The female disciple was stunned.
Just as she was stunned, a delicate palm slapped the woman hard on the face from her side. With a loud slap, the female disciple who wanted to hit Ye Liuyun was slapped instead. She took several steps back before she could steady herself.
"You? You dare to hit me?" The female disciple of the first level of the Taoist Palace who was beaten touched her face and took a few steps back, then looked at Ye Liuyun in disbelief.
The rest of the guard disciples were also stunned. Ye Liuyun's reaction was too fast. It was totally unlike the reaction speed of an early Lingxi Realm cultivator.
But at the same time, they were also very confused. The person in front of them was only in the early Lingxi realm. How could he possibly dodge the attack of a Taoist monk? The key point was that he could even hit the other person back.
"Oh, sorry, it's my body's instinct. I can't control my hand." Ye Liuyun looked at his right hand in astonishment and said sarcastically.
Ye Liuyun respects women very much, but the prerequisite is that you have to be worthy of her respect. It is not okay to hit her without knowing the right or wrong. She can only fight back in kind.
After all, she is a woman now and she cares a lot about her appearance. She can't allow others to slap her in the face.
"You? You are a rebel. How dare you beat up a disciple on guard? While on duty, the guard disciples and patrol disciples have the power to discipline the disciples in the sect, which is equivalent to the law enforcement disciples of the sect. You are ignoring the sect rules and committing treason. Someone come and arrest her." The leading disciple guarding the library was furious.
As the order was given, more than a dozen guard disciples surrounded him and grabbed Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun looked at the dozen people who were coming towards her and sighed again. She took a deep breath, and the internal force in her body began to circulate, and her speed instantly soared several times.
The physical strength of cultivators at Dao Palace level is generally not at Dao Palace level, and is at Lingwen level at most.
Most female monks pay less attention to physical training than male monks, so their physical strength may barely be at the level of an average spiritual pattern realm monk.
However, if they use magic power to activate their bodies, their body functions will be greatly improved.
Ye Liuyun didn't want to cause trouble, but today, there was no way to avoid it and he could only fight it head-on.
There was suddenly such a big commotion at the door of the library that some passing disciples gathered around.
"Eh? What's going on? Is this senior sister from the library making things difficult for fellow disciples assigned from other factions again?" Some disciples from Caiyun Peak complained while looking at the entrance of the library from afar.
"I guess we've met a tough guy. They've been too much in the past three months. It's not us who wanted to come to Caiyun Peak, so why should we be inferior to them?" complained a woman with a blue jade pendant around her waist.
Those who wore blue jade tokens around their waists were all male disciples.
"Brother, was she also a male disciple before? I don't think so. She is too beautiful, like a lotus emerging from the water or a lotus on a snowy mountain. Her temperament doesn't seem like that of a male disciple either."
"Who knows? Besides, among those of us who have become female cultivators, there are quite a few who are good-looking. Take a look at Senior Brother Tan Tai Hao Yue from Ziyun Peak. I no, I should call her Senior Sister Tan Tai Ming Yue now, it's a slip of the tongue. Her temperament and purple color make her more beautiful than Senior Sister Han Yao from Caiyun Peak."
These disciples talked while watching the battle.
Yes, the most beautiful woman in Yun Sect at present is Ziyun Peak’s direct disciple, the sect’s seed, Tan Tai Mingyue.
Ye Liuyun relied on his reaction speed and easily dodged the attacks of the guarding disciples. However, these women showed no mercy and every attack was aimed at capturing Ye Liuyun.
If Ye Liuyun was hit by them, he would definitely be injured.
"It's really difficult, the Falling Flower Palm." After Ye Liuyun dodged several waves of attacks in succession, he had no choice but to fight back again. He appeared behind the guard disciple with an Extreme Flash and then hit the female disciple on the lower back with a palm.
This palm strike may seem gentle, but it is extremely powerful, because the characteristics of the Falling Flower Palm are just right for physical cultivators like Ye Liuyun, and it can allow one's strength to penetrate the opponent's physical defense. If one fails to react in time, it would be very uncomfortable to be hit by such a palm strike.
"Puff! Ah..." The female disciple let out a cry of pain and flew out like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily on the bluestone floor, unable to get up for a while.
Ye Liuyun's internal energy was wreaking havoc in her body; this was the miraculous effect of the Falling Flower Palm.
"Junior sister? You, you actually used such a heavy hand on a disciple from the same sect and faction. You are finished. Junior sisters, there is no need to show mercy. Attack with all your strength." The leading female disciple's face changed, and then she issued a more severe order.
As soon as this order came out, exquisite Taoist palace pavilions began to appear behind these female disciples, and their momentum and strength also began to rise.
Ye Liuyun immediately felt pressured, and she quickly stepped back, taking out her own pills and preparing to use them to fight back. She was confident that she could defeat a first-level Taoist master with all his strength, but she had no idea about fighting more than a dozen of them.
"You found this yourselves. I am afraid of my own remedies when they are used."
Ye Liuyun held a pill in his hand, ready to activate it at any time.
But at this moment, a cold voice came from the library.
"Stop? Who told you to fight in this important place of the library?"
As soon as the voice fell, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, suppressing all the people who took action on the spot, including Ye Liuyun.
"My body feels so heavy that I can't move. Is it the cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm who are taking action?" Ye Liuyun's face changed.
Then, a woman dressed in the attire of an elder of Caiyun Peak appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone. This person was dignified and graceful. She was the grand elder of Caiyun Peak.
---------------------------------
"Great Elder, it was this guy who was causing trouble at the door of the library. We were only forced to take action." The leading female disciple explained hastily.
But the Great Elder of Caiyun Peak is not an idiot. During this period of time, the disciples of Caiyun Peak have been deliberately targeting the newly assigned disciples. But generally speaking, they will not care as long as it is not excessive. But today, it is a bit out of line.
The most important thing is that she discovered something interesting, that is, the girl in front of her was actually a rare physical cultivator. Because the path of physical cultivators is different from that of regular cultivators, it is impossible to directly judge the other party's true combat power from their realm.
Because there is currently no clear division of realms in physical cultivation.
"Don't quibble. I am an elder and I am not blind. Although I don't like to get involved in the minor frictions between you disciples, it doesn't mean that you are allowed to treat new disciples in this way. Although the peak master agrees to your request and allows their gender-changed disciples to wear gender jade pendants, it doesn't mean that you should exclude and bully them." The elder of Caiyun Peak interrupted the female disciple.
The female disciple's expression froze, and then she fell silent, because if they really had to make a fuss, they were indeed the ones asking for trouble, and they just accidentally ran into a tough guy.
"Thank you, Elder, for doing justice for my disciple." Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the elder was on his side.
“Haha, little girl, you hit her pretty hard. But, they were the ones who bullied you first, so I will assume that you were forced to defend yourself.” The Great Elder laughed and then waved his hand at the female disciple who was hit by Ye Liuyun's Falling Flower Palm. With this wave, the internal force remaining in her body dissipated, and the female disciple was no longer in pain.
After doing these things, the great elder also spoke up to remind the guard disciples.
"This time, you went too far. Don't let it happen again. I don't want to see you abuse your power by relying on your status."
These disciples did not dare to argue, so they all nodded and said yes.
After doing these things, the great elder disappeared again and returned to the library.
Only Ye Liuyun and the angry-looking disciples who were guarding were left.
