As Luo Qingyu stepped into the secret realm, her first sensation was a biting chill. It was currently nighttime in the secret realm.
Luo Qingyu couldn't help but mutter under her breath, “Shoot, it's freezing.”
She thought to herself that since she wouldn't be able to defeat any demon beasts she ran into anyway, it would be better to get eliminated early so she could go back to sleep sooner.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, her divine sense picked up a movement nearby. She said in a low voice, “Who's there? Come out!”
Caught in the act, Yunque slowly stepped out from behind a tree and called out softly, “Senior Brother Luo.”
Luo Qingyu's brows furrowed, her eyes filled with disdain. “Why is it a fool like you?”
The spectator stands instantly erupted into laughter.
“Haha! He called the Yueqing Sect's little junior sister a fool!”
The Yueqing Sect's fans immediately grew displeased and retorted, “Our junior sister is so cute! Who are you calling a fool?”
Luo Qingyu's fans also shot back right away, “We're talking about you guys! Our beautiful Luo is absolutely right!”
In the spectator stands outside, the two groups of fans bickered endlessly, creating a massive uproar.
Yet, the two people inside the secret realm were completely oblivious to this.
Hearing Luo Qingyu's words, Yunque's face flushed red and white. She braced herself and said, “Senior Brother Luo, we are both in the Golden Core Realm. But I am a talisman cultivator, while you are merely an artifact cultivator.”
Luo Qingyu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you done talking nonsense?”
Yunque was taken aback. “Huh?”
Just then, Luo Qingyu pulled out a loaded handgun from her storage ring and aimed the muzzle straight at Yunque.
Bang! Bang! Two bullets grazed the tips of her ears. Yunque's face turned stark white with terror.
Luo Qingyu said, “Don't you know? Both the righteous and the villains alike die from talking too much.”
With that, before Yunque could snap out of it, Luo Qingyu activated her Breeze Step to dart forward, snatching the jade token from Yunque's waist in one swift motion.
“A fool is a fool, living up to the name. Bye-bye, go enjoy some tea in the elimination area.”
No sooner had she spoken than she squeezed her hand and crushed the jade token. A bright white light flashed, and Yunque went limp as she was instantly teleported out of the secret realm.
The spectating cultivators outside instantly went wild, their cheers rising one after another.
“Ahhh! Young Master Luo looked so handsome just now!”
“That spiritual tool is indeed incredibly cool!”
“Of course it is! Our beautiful Luo refined it with his own hands!”
At the elders' seats, the Yueqing Sect elder stared at Yunque, who had just been teleported out, his face filled with utter disappointment. Yun Hen's expression darkened as well.
The Chengfeng Sect elder's gaze landed on the spiritual tool in Luo Qingyu's hand. Turning to Qin Fanfan, he remarked with a sigh, “The spiritual tools crafted by your Changming Sect's artifact cultivators are indeed extraordinary.”
Hearing this, Qin Fanfan stroked his beard with a smug look and said, “Naturally. Xiaoyu is a rare genius of our Changming Sect.”
The Chengfeng Sect elder's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
I praise your Changming Sect once, and you immediately let it go to your head.
Inside the secret realm, the broadcast announcement echoed simultaneously: [Yueqing Sect, Yunque is out!]
[Yueqing Sect, Song Hansheng is out!]
[Wenjian Sect, Chu Xingzhi is out!]
The announcements resounded almost one after another.
Luo Qingyu didn't even need to think to know that this was definitely the work of her little junior sister, Ye Qiao.
The spectator stands outside instantly exploded with chatter.
“Three people eliminated all at once?!”
“Looking at the elimination list, there are two Yueqing Sect disciples and Chu Xingzhi. This is a heavy blow to both the Wenjian Sect and the Yueqing Sect.”
At the elders' seats, the Yueqing Sect elder's face grew increasingly unsightly, the veins on his temples throbbing violently.
The pressure radiating from Yun Hen was terrifyingly low, and his already gloomy face was now covered in a layer of frost.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the secret realm, Ye Qiao had just eliminated Song Hansheng and Chu Xingzhi when she heard the announcement of Yunque's elimination.
Standing nearby, Xue Yu asked, “Who eliminated that little junior sister of the Yueqing Sect?”
Ye Qiao thought for a moment and guessed, “Could it be Fourth Senior Brother or Senior Brother?”
Xue Yu nodded. “That seems possible. We'll ask them when we find Senior Brother and the others.”
...
Luo Qingyu found a sturdy tree and leaped onto a branch, leaning against the trunk in a highly leisurely manner.
She then pulled out a bag of melon seeds from her storage ring and began cracking them open one by one while leaning against the tree.
“Aren't the Personal Disciples of the five major sects supposed to be fighting? Why is he sitting in a tree eating melon seeds?”
“Is he here to compete, or did he come to the secret realm for a vacation?!”
At the elders' seats, Qin Fanfan watched with a chuckle, stroking his beard as he smiled broadly. “Xiaoyu always has such a great mindset.”
The other four sects: “...”
The filter your Changming Sect has on its disciples is truly thick.
Leaning against the high branch, Luo Qingyu leisurely cracked her melon seeds while carelessly spreading her divine sense to scan the surroundings.
Before long, two distinct auras entered the range of her divine sense, slowly approaching her direction.
Luo Qingyu glanced down, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes as she chuckled, “Oh, isn't that the little white poplar of the Wenjian Sect?”
Walking at the front beneath the tree, Ye Qinghan keenly caught a trace of divine sense. In an instant, his longsword unsheathed, radiating a biting cold.
He turned and warned Zhu You in a low voice, “Be careful. Someone is nearby.”
Zhu You immediately withdrew their presence, nodding seriously as they vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
At this moment, Luo Qingyu sat up on the branch, swinging her dangling legs. Her tone was casual and teasing, “Hey, Ice-Face, long time no see. Did you miss me?”
As the familiar teasing words drifted down, the ears of the usually cold and self-possessed Ye Qinghan suddenly turned red. He replied stiffly, “No.”
Behind him, Zhu You's eyes widened in utter shock. They had never expected their usually stern and unsmiling Senior Brother to actually be teased like this.
Seeing this, Luo Qingyu immediately grew displeased and raised an eyebrow. “Hey! Ice-Face! You owe me a favor, you know. How can you speak to me like that?”
Hearing the familiar nickname “Ice-Face,” Zhu You instantly remembered and said in surprise, “I didn't expect that the person who saved us during our training back then was actually you.”
Hearing Zhu You's words, Luo Qingyu smiled and said, “I didn't expect you to guess it.”
Outside the secret realm, the spectators watching the screen instantly went wild.
“Did you see that? Ye Qinghan's ears actually turned red! He doesn't really like men, does he?”
“No way! My beautiful Luo!”
“Luo Qingyu gave Ye Qinghan a nickname, and Ye Qinghan himself doesn't even mind. Why are you guys fussing over it?”
