Chapter 28 Sect Grand Competition (3)
Chapter 28 Sect Grand Competition (3)
Once the Wen family members had gone far away, Shi Ming released Song Rentou. He tore off the silencing talisman from Luo Zai Shui's post and was about to curse when he met Su Wusi's kind gaze.
"You... do you believe I'll tell my senior brother!"
The girl retorted, "Oh my gosh~ You even want to tell your senior brother? Are you a primary school student? You're going to tell your parents? You're shameless! If I were like that, I would have gone back to Linghai Sect long ago to pack my things and go home to farm."
"you!"
Song Rentou didn't understand what "elementary school student" meant, but these words were definitely not kind.
What are you doing?
Chu Yeli walked over at some point, followed by the Linghai Sect disciples who had just slipped away in the chaos.
"Perfect." Shi Ming pushed Song Rentou in front of Chu Yeli. "Your sect disciples caused this trouble, so you should resolve it yourselves."
Chu Yeli glared at Song Rentou: "What's going on?"
Song Ren stammered, unable to speak. His eyes darted around, and he pointed at the girl tidying up the stall: "It's all her fault! A disciple who was expelled from the sect, she came to the sect's grand competition and made a fool of herself, disgracing our Linghai Sect. I just wanted to teach her a lesson, but those guys from Xianyun Peak..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Wusi interrupted her: "You mean the second disciple of Linghai Sect bullied a powerless girl, and was taught a lesson by our senior brother and second senior sister, which also attracted the Wen family and almost caused Linghai Sect to lose its qualification for the competition? If you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you."
"is it?"
Chu Yeli's eyes were icy cold at this moment. Song Rentou still wanted to argue, "The talismans she sells all belong to our Linghai Sect. Selling those messy things she draws is a disgrace to our Linghai Sect!"
"Senior Brother Chu, is this a talisman from your Linghai Sect?"
Luo Zai Shui casually picked up a talisman and showed it to Chu Ye Li, a hint of mockery creeping onto her lips.
Upon seeing the talisman in Luo Zai Shui's hand, Chu Yeli's eyelids twitched involuntarily. To be honest, he had never seen such an ugly talisman in his life.
His words showed no regard for the lives of others: "You can recognize something so ugly as belonging to the Linghai Sect? If you don't need its eyes, you can gouge them out and give them to someone who does."
The girl was clearly outraged by Chu Yeli's words: "You're really being presumptuous!"
Su Wusi couldn't help but whisper in Luo Zai Shui's ear, "But it really is drawn very ugly."
Luo Zai Shui didn't reply. Even Su Wu Si, who only knew a little about drawing talismans, could tell the level of these talismans, let alone the talisman cultivators like them. It was best to keep some dignity between them.
Chu Yeli glanced coldly at Song Rentou: "If you don't want to participate in the competition, I can apply to my master."
Song Rentou then slid down and admitted his mistake: "Senior Brother, I was wrong."
Chu Yeli ignored him and kicked him, saying, "Go back and reflect on your actions."
Song Rentou hurriedly scrambled away.
Chu Yeli took a deep breath and thanked Shi Ming and the others: "Thank you very much this time."
Shi Ming raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and accepted his apology with a clear conscience. If they hadn't intervened this time, the Wen family would have held a grudge against Linghai Sect for provoking trouble. This time, Linghai Sect owed Xianyun Peak a favor.
Luo Zai Shui put the talisman back on the stall and said to Chu Ye Li, "No need for thanks, but I think your Linghai Sect should give this young lady some compensation. It has delayed her business for so long, and I heard that she came from your Linghai Sect."
Chu Yeli then turned his gaze to that fellow disciple.
To be honest, he didn't have much of an impression of this girl, but as the sect's chief disciple, he still had to be concerned about the whereabouts of the sect's disciples.
"Which peak are you a disciple from? What is your name? Why were you expelled from the sect?"
The girl put her hands on her hips and raised her head: "Listen carefully, my name is Li Yue. I wasn't expelled from the sect; I left on my own!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yeli frowned: "Why did you leave on your own? Even if you left on your own, the sect would still give you a sum of spirit stones. You don't have to make a living by selling these things at a stall, do you?"
Li Yue waved her hand dismissively: "Those people in the sect always bullied me, so I left. Besides, the money the sect gave me wasn't enough. Fifty low-grade spirit stones weren't even enough for me to leave Linghai Peak."
"Fifty low-grade spirit stones? Didn't the sect give five hundred?"
Chu Yeli immediately realized the problem, and seeing Luo Zaishui's amused expression, he was furious.
"Junior Sister Luo, this is a private matter of our sect. Are you sure you still want to watch this show here?"
Luo Zai Shui's smile deepened: "Senior Brother Chu, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. Perhaps we can help by standing by and offering our opinions?"
Chu Yeli turned her gaze to Shi Ming: "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Shi Ming had a faint smile on his lips: "I can't control that."
"Alright." Chu Yeli was planning to give up. "Here's what I'll do: I'll make up for the spirit stones the sect withheld from you first, so you can stop drawing talismans and setting up a stall here."
Li Yue looked somewhat aggrieved: "Can't I really make money by drawing talismans?"
Chu Yeli looked at the talismans that made the talisman cultivators want to vomit at first glance, and couldn't find any tactful words.
Luo Zai Shui suggested, "Perhaps you could try other methods? Drawing talismans isn't really suitable for making money."
Li Yue scratched her head: "Cultivating immortality is really too difficult. I think I'll just stick to my old profession of writing novels. Everyone else who transmigrates into a book has a cheat code..."
Luo Zai Shui suddenly realized where that familiar feeling from Li Yue came from, and she involuntarily blurted out, "Odd changes, even remains the same..."
"The sign indicates the quadrant!"
Li Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and she wanted nothing more than to throw herself into Luo Zai Shui's arms: "Fellow villager!"
Because there were other people present, she could only excitedly grasp Luo Zai Shui's hand, her eyes brimming with tears: "When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears."
Luo Zai Shui was at a loss for what to do. Shi Ming wanted to pull the person away, but since the other party was a girl, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only cast a resentful look at Chu Ye Li.
Chu Yeli was a little confused: "Didn't Zai Shui grow up on Xianyun Peak? How could he be from your hometown? You must have made a mistake."
Li Yue seemed unable to listen: "It can't be wrong, absolutely not wrong, this sentence, this accent, absolutely not wrong! My family!"
"Huh, no." Chu Yeli was completely bewildered. "Why are you talking about your family members again now?"
“You don’t understand.” Li Yue held Luo Zai Shui’s hands in hers. “How could you NPCs possibly understand these things?”
Su Wusi asked sincerely, "Senior Brother, what is Enpi Sai?"
Shi Ming shook his head: "I don't know either."
Su Wusi speculated, "Could it be that she's talking nonsense because she was expelled from the sect and mistreated?"
She shielded her senior sister behind her: "Who exactly are you? Why are you saying so many strange things to my senior sister!"
Li Yue pushed her away, then grabbed Luo Zai Shui's hand: "Hey, you guys don't understand, but you should understand me! Sister, when did you transmigrate here? Where were you originally from?"
Seeing Su Wusi being pushed away, Luo Zai Shui couldn't help but show a hint of displeasure: "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else. I've lived on Xianyun Peak since I was a child. How could I possibly be your fellow villager?"
She took Su Wusi's hand and said to Shi Ming, "Senior brother, let's go."
"Wait!" Li Yue grabbed her hand. "Aren't you a time traveler too? Don't you want to go back?"
Even the gentle and polite Shi Ming had his temper. He grabbed Li Yue's hand and said, "Young lady, please have some self-respect. My junior sister and I have lived on Xianyun Peak since childhood. We are already family. How can you say we are from the same hometown?"
Unable to break free, Li Yue could only look at Luo Zai Shui: "Don't you really want to go back? There's no air conditioning, no cell phone, no shopping mall, no family, no friends here. Don't you want to go home?"
Luo Zai Shui glanced at her and then said calmly, "Xianyun Peak is my home, why would I leave?"
After saying that, she pulled Su Wusi away.
Shi Ming released Li Yue's hand and chased after her, saying, "I hope you won't bother my junior sister anymore. You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Eh..."
Li Yue wanted to chase after him, but Chu Yeli stopped her.
"Wait a minute, young lady. You've really mistaken me for someone else. Luo Zai Shui has lived on Xianyun Peak since she was a child. She's definitely not from your hometown. I'll make up for the spirit stones the sect withheld from you first, and then..."
"Wait, you mean her name is Luo Zai Shui?" Li Yue asked incredulously. "Then who is the female cultivator next to her?"
Chu Yeli used his limited patience to explain: "That's their junior sister Su Wusi, and the one next to her is their senior brother Shi Ming. You don't even know her, yet you have the nerve to say you're from the same hometown as her."
"She definitely is!"
Li Yue wanted to chase after them, but Luo Zai Shui and the others had already disappeared.
"Senior sister, that person is very strange." Su Wusi was still shaken. "He was crazy and his behavior was not like that of an ordinary person."
A thought flickered in her mind that the man might steal her senior sister away.
"She'll probably come looking for you again," Shi Ming said confidently. The man's words and actions made him inexplicably uncomfortable, and he didn't want to have much contact with him in the water, so he said directly, "It's best to minimize contact."
Luo Zai Shui nodded, a vague unease creeping into her heart.
Well, we'll have to see each other eventually anyway.
After making several turns, the group happened to run into Jian Muyi and his group, who seemed to be haggling with a vendor.
"Boss, look, we've selected so many things, can you give us a discount?"
"No, no, you get what you pay for. This young master is knowledgeable and can tell that the herbs here are no worse than those in the secret realm. If you lower the price any further, this old man will lose money."
Ji Tinghan also pleaded, "Uncle, we really don't have enough spirit stones on us. Why don't you sell them to us first, and we'll get the spirit stones and then give them to you?"
Xue Xin even took out his magic weapon: "How about this, old man, I'll leave my magic weapon here, and you can sell these herbs to us first."
Luo Zai Shui couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What kind of treasure is worth you spending so much money? Let me see for myself."
"Senior Sister!"
The group was overjoyed, as they hadn't expected to see their senior sisters here.
Shi Ming took out spirit stones and bought the medicinal herbs that Xue Xin had his eye on. He asked in confusion, "Why buy so many herbs?"
Xue Xin scratched his head: "I just thought these medicinal herbs were of good quality, so I bought them to make some pills to replenish qi and blood and spiritual power for my senior sister and junior sister. It's better to be prepared. It's a pity we didn't bring enough spirit stones. Thank you, senior brother."
"Alright." Luo Zai Shui smiled. "It's a good thing we ran into you guys while we were wandering around, otherwise you would have been dawdling here for ages."
Jian Muyi scratched his head sheepishly: "We'll definitely bring enough spirit stones next time we go out."
"Alright, it's getting late, let's head back. Our martial uncle is waiting for us."
"it is good!"
Luo Zai Shui knew that Li Yue would come to see her again, but she didn't expect her to come tonight.
