At this point, Qiuyue and the others also recalled that they had previously thought Bu Zheng was being taken care of by someone. However, when they heard Bu Zheng say he was a miscellaneous disciple of the Alchemy Peak, they understood that this was impossible. If someone really was taking care of him, it wouldn't just be by making him a miscellaneous disciple. Even if it was for training, there was no need for that. Moreover, there was no need to go to the Alchemy Peak. What could he learn there? The most useful thing in the Qingyun Sword Sect was the Qingyun Sword Technique; everything else was basically worthless.

So, Bu Zheng should just be an ordinary miscellaneous disciple. But how could an ordinary miscellaneous disciple have a Qiankun Ring? Was it because his family was rich?

The Qiankun Ring is a very special item. If you have money, you can buy it. It's normal for wealthy merchants to own Qiankun Rings, and sometimes it's even a symbol of their status. But this kid doesn't look like he has money at all. It's really strange, what's going on?

Or was it just a stroke of luck?

"Little Junior Brother, how did you get your Qiankun Ring?" Qiuyue couldn't help but ask. Women are naturally more curious. If Bu Zheng didn't want to answer, she wouldn't press further.

"I traded for it," Bu Zheng replied after some thought. It seemed that the woman didn't say he couldn't talk about it, only that he couldn't mention meeting her.

"Traded for it?" At this point, Qiuyue's interest was piqued. It didn't seem like the Qiankun Ring was a secret for Bu Zheng, and there seemed to be something interesting about it. How could a miscellaneous disciple trade for a Qiankun Ring?

"Yes, traded. I wanted to go to the Contribution Hall to trade for a Qiankun Bag, but then I met Senior Sister Shang..." Bu Zheng said. At this moment, he didn't mention how many contribution points he used to trade for the Qiankun Bag, and no one noticed. Otherwise, they would have wondered how a small miscellaneous disciple could have so many contribution points.

Of course, this surprise would only last for a moment. For them, contribution points were easy to come by.

"Senior Sister Shang? You mean the Shang Ai from the Qingyun Peak, the sect leader?" Qiuyue immediately asked. She was well aware of the beautiful women in the sect, even if she had no interaction with them. She had paid attention, especially to Shang Ai.

"I don't know if she's from Qingyun Peak, but her name is Shang Ai," Bu Zheng said.

"Is she very beautiful? When she appears, people go into a daze," Qiuyue asked.

"What does 'go into a daze' mean?" Bu Zheng had never heard this term before. He was so innocent, a simple country boy. Whether he would remain this innocent in the future was unknown, but for now, everyone had their own innocent times. In a few years, they might only be able to talk about it.

"I used to be innocent!"

"Going into a daze means being so captivated by a beautiful woman that you can't think straight. You must have been like that too," Qiuyue explained.

"Oh, I see. The people around me went into a daze, but I didn't. She's not as beautiful as my wife," Bu Zheng shook his head and said.

"Not as beautiful as your wife? Really? Shang Ai may not be the most beautiful in the Qingyun Sword Sect, but she's definitely one of the top. Is your wife more beautiful than her?" Zhao Zhiyin interjected. When it came to women, he got particularly excited and even interrupted to ask.

"Of course. My wife is the most beautiful person I've ever seen," Bu Zheng said proudly.

At this moment, no one cared how many wives he had. They just found Bu Zheng's words interesting. What did he mean by the most beautiful he had ever seen? Qin Shuang was here, and he had seen her. Could she be more beautiful than Qin Shuang?

Everyone thought this was impossible!

"Is she more beautiful than Junior Sister Qin Shuang?" Zhao Zhiyin asked, gesturing to Qin Shuang's position.

"Much more beautiful!" Bu Zheng, completely unaware of manners, said bluntly.

"Tsk, you're just boasting!" Zhao Zhiyin looked down on Bu Zheng. "Whether you have a wife or not is a question, and you say she's much more beautiful than Junior Sister Qin Shuang."

"I have two wives, and both are much more beautiful than her, really," Bu Zheng pointed at Qin Shuang and said loudly, eager to make people believe him.

"..."

At this moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent. Everyone stared at Bu Zheng, who was pointing at Qin Shuang, and repeatedly asked themselves if this was true. Could this kid really be pointing at Qin Shuang and saying she wasn't as beautiful as someone else? This was too unbelievable.

Qin Shuang, who was being pointed at, didn't look too good. She was usually very calm and had encountered women who were more beautiful than her, but being pointed at and said to be less beautiful made her a bit annoyed.

"Ah!" Zhao Zhiyin immediately pulled down Bu Zheng's hand and said hurriedly, "Kid, are you looking for death? Don't boast too much. Alright, alright, it's just a joke, Junior Sister Qin Shuang, don't take it to heart."

"Of course, I don't care. He's just a silly kid," Qin Shuang said indifferently.

"..."

Although it sounded like nothing, everyone knew that if Qin Shuang really didn't care, she wouldn't even speak. It seemed Bu Zheng had upset her, but they believed Qin Shuang wouldn't take it too seriously and wouldn't stoop to trouble the kid.

As for Bu Zheng, everyone thought he was just talking nonsense, a silly kid.

"Cough, Little Junior Brother, continue. What happened after you met Shang Ai?" Qiuyue coughed to bring the topic back, or rather, to change the subject.

"She traded a Qiankun Bag she didn't want for my contribution points, and I traded for some materials for her," Bu Zheng replied.

"Oh, I see. You're really lucky!"

Besides saying he was lucky, no one knew what else to say. This explanation made everyone believe it, because if it were them, they might have done the same.

"Wait, you said Qiankun Bag? But the one you have isn't a Qiankun Bag!" Suddenly, someone noticed the issue. Bu Zheng had a Qiankun Ring, while Shang Ai traded for a Qiankun Bag. These were fundamentally different.

"Yes, it was a Qiankun Bag. Later, a Second Senior Brother appeared and wanted to trade his Qiankun Ring for the Qiankun Bag, so I traded it," Bu Zheng replied.

"Second Senior Brother?" Everyone was surprised. The only Second Senior Brother they knew was one of the top ten disciples in the sect. No one else could be called Second Senior Brother.

"Are you talking about...?"

"No need to ask, it must be that Second Senior Brother. Otherwise, who would just give away a Qiankun Ring? And you've heard, haven't you? Second Senior Brother has been pursuing the beautiful Shang Ai. What a pity, another flower is about to wither," Zhao Zhiyin said confidently, showing a look of understanding.

"A man would give up anything, even the world, to please the woman he loves. This great sentiment of loving the world but loving the beauty more, you wouldn't understand," Zhao Zhiyin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, as if saying, "The world is drunk, but I am awake."

Everyone continued forward, ignoring Zhao Zhiyin, while a crow flew by in the sky...
