The normal disciples didnât know about the escape of the evil clan devil.
Hence, it was very peaceful below the mountain. However, Ming Shuâs appearance broke the peaceful atmosphere.
âXuan Ji, arenât you dead?â Xiang Lan brought some people along and blocked her way. Her face was filled with anger. âWhy did you come back?â
Who the hell spread the rumor about me dying!
Ming Shu smiled. âI came back from the dead. Are you scared?â
Xiang Lan didnât believe her. âDonât talk nonsense!â
There was no such thing as coming back from the dead in this world.
Ming Shu continued smiling. âYou said I was dead and then said I was talking nonsense when I explained I came back from the dead. Why are you so unreasonable?â
Boom!
The second Ming Shu finished her sentence, Xiang Lan was thrown to the ground by Ming Shu.
Xiang Lanâs sidekicks wanted to help her up, naturally. Ming Shuâs smiling eyes scanned them and they froze on the spot.
Everyone: ââŠâ Is this how reasonable you are?
Ming Shu looked down and stared into the angry eyes of Xiang Lan, which were almost bursting with fire. âBe more reasonable next time, okay?â
Ming Shu beat Xiang Lan the moment she came back and caused a commotion among everyone. Some people were curious as to where Ming Shu went in this period of time while others commented on how powerful she was.
Elder Xu, who was not on good terms with Ming Shu, heard the commotion and came over.
âXuan Ji! Where did you go?â Elder Xu immediately released his imposing aura and wanted to challenge Ming Shu.
However, Ming Shu firmly stood her ground. Only her clothes swayed slightly. She ignored Elder Xuâs aura.
âTo cultivate immortality.â Ming Shu looked at Elder Xuâs long face and smiled slowly. âWhat else can I do? Save the world?â
âYou have a three-spirit root. No matter how much you cultivate, you will still be useless. What is the use of cultivating?â Elder Xu slammed the table and felt that Ming Shu was lying. âWhat do you take this place as? You disappear whenever you want and appear as you like?â
âWhy canât a three-spirit root owner cultivate? Are you looking down on three-spirit root owners?â
âFor a three-spirit root owner, even the foundation would be hard for them to cultivate. It is the same as a useless spirit root. Who are you lying to when you say you went to cultivate immortality?â
âTo you.â
ââŠâ
When Elder Hong entered, the two of them were already in a heated argument.
Of course, most of the time it was Elder Xu who was shouting angrily. Ming Shu smiled and answered him and Elder Xu easily became angrier. The cycle continued.
When Ming Shu calmly left with a gentle smile, Elder Xu was already smashing tables inside and wanted to kick Ming Shu out of the Yin Sect.
âXuan Ji, why do you have to provoke him? You should know his temper. He didnât like you from the start.â Elder Hong pulled Ming Shu to a corner.
âHe started it.â Ming Shu didnât know what motive Elder Hong had, but he didnât do what Elder Xu did so Ming Shu gave him a better attitude.
Elder Hong sighed. âHe is still the deacon elder. If you can tolerate him, just tolerate him. Once you enter the internal division, you can find him for trouble then.â
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âHow do you know I will enter the internal division?â
Elder Hong sighed. âI can see that you are not a normal person.â
The aura in her body was very pure. Although he couldnât see her mental state, he felt that it should be very stable too.
This kind of person, even if they had the three-spirit root, would rise to the top.
Elder Hong said a few more words and left.
Ming Shu was not curious about Elder Hongâs intentions at all.
âŠ
Elder Xu really went to report her and claimed that she was disrespectful and didnât abide by the rules of the sect. He wanted to kick her out of the Yin Sect.
Many people were waiting to laugh at Ming Shu.
Even if no one dared to provoke her now, it didnât mean that there were people who liked her.
Elder Hong tried to fight for her, but the result was given out.
However, this result didnât reach Ming Shuâs hand. The disciple who was supposed to bring the news over was called back and this issue died.
Elder Xu glared fiercely at Ming Shu.
Yun Yao returned ten days later. She seemed fine, but was a lot quieter than before. Occasionally, she would look at Ming Shu with a sinister gaze.
The Harmony System didnât say anything about her Hatred Points being full. This meant that the Hatred Points were still lacking.
The mission was still ongoing. She still needed to work harder.
As for the issue of the evil clan, the sect didnât take any action. They hadnât found out anything yet.
âŠ
In a corner on the practice areaâŠ
A girl wearing the external divisionâs Taoist robe was practicing magic arts. She was trying to raise a big stone. However, she seemed to be facing some difficulty. The stone kept falling back to the ground after it was raised a little bit above the ground.
The girl was a bit disheartened.
A young man ran toward the girls with a long face. âZi Luo. did you provoke Xuan Ji?â
The girl was puzzled. âHuh? I didnâtâŠâ
She had heard of Xuan Ji before. She was an outer sect disciple from the external division. No one dared to provoke her now.
However, she was just a three-spirit root owner.
She heard that she had never used magic arts before and used her speed and fighting skills to win over her opponents.
âReally?â The young man didnât believe her.
Zi Luo nodded. She didnât have any interactions with Xuan Ji, how would she be able to provoke her?
The young man was curious. âWhy is she looking for you then?â
Zi Luo was even more curious. âLooking for me?â
The young man frowned. âShe asked for you outside. I donât know what she wants to do. Let me go with you.â
Zi Luo thought for a while and rejected the young manâs help. âItâs okay. I didnât provoke her. She might be looking for me because of other things. I will go meet her myself.â
The young man was still worried, but Zi Luo stood firm to her decision. In the end, he said, âBe careful, then. This person doesnât have a good reputation. If anything happens, just shout and I will bring people over. I donât think she will dare bully you.â
Zi Luo nodded.
She walked out of the practice area with a heavy heart.
Ming Shu sat on the stone lion outside the practice area and looked up at the sky. Everyone stood far away from her and pointed at her.
Zi Luo looked at her stance and suddenly didnât dare to approach her.
She gritted her teeth and finally walked toward the stone lion under the gazes of the crowd. âHello, what are you looking for me for?â
Ming Shu looked down at the female protagonist. Her aura was different from the fake female protagonistâs aura. Zi Luoâs entire body was covered in Qi like a pure precious stone.
Ming Shu came to find the female protagonist with the blue-sea stone in hand.
She sized the female protagonist up.
There were a few practice areas in the external division. The female protagonist was not in the same practice area as Yun Yao so Ming Shu only watched her from afar before.
The female protagonist was very lowkey. This might be because her journey only started after the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array when she found her teacher.
Zi Luo felt awkward under Ming Shuâs gaze. âExcuse me, what business do you have with me?â
Ming Shu asked, âDo you know how to cook?â
Zi Luo was stunned. Cook?
Zi Luo didnât know what Ming Shu wanted to do, but she felt that Ming Shu was a bit scary. She stammered, âYes⊠a little bit.â
Ming Shu jumped down the stone lion and smiled. âCook something for me and I will give you something good.â
âW⊠what?â
Cook for her?
What kind of request is this?
Zi Luo looked around her. There were more and more people surrounding them. She considered for a while and said, âFollow me, then. But I only know how to cook a littleâŠâ
Ming Shu followed Zi Luo with anticipation.
