The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 136 Guiyuan Sect 11

Upon hearing this, the girl burst into tears, crying pitifully: "Your Guiyuan Sect brought us to the sect and said you would treat us as family and make amends to us. Is this what you mean by treating us as your own people?"

Do you think we want to join the Guiyuan Sect? We stand here today because our parents and families sacrificed their lives for us! We have a clear conscience!

The girl poured out her grievances.

"..." Upon hearing this, the senior sister's face turned red. She didn't know what to say. These guys were always like this, using this excuse everywhere. But they couldn't bring themselves to speak ill of those who died unjustly, after all, they were heroes who died saving the people.

Although no one could refute them with harsh words, the disciples simply watched them coldly.

The situation developed far beyond what the group had expected. They thought they would gain a large number of sympathetic people to stand on their side, but the result seemed to be the opposite.

The young man coldly rebuked the four, saying, "Don't let me hear you gossiping about Junior Sister Cheng Jiu. No matter who has wronged you, Junior Sister Cheng Jiu hasn't, and she has no obligation to tolerate you for it. If I hear it again, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"You're so eager to protect Qingxu Immortal Lord's disciple, but who is she to you anyway! You, a mere outer disciple, are going to such lengths to speak well of her, aren't you just trying to curry favor with the disciple of Mahayana Immortal Lord? It's utterly despicable! And that Junior Sister Cheng Jiu whom you're protecting isn't any better!"

The girl spoke without thinking, clearly embarrassed by the boy's mockery. If this guy had dared to be so presumptuous in front of her before, he would have disappeared from this world long ago, instead of making them lose face here.

The next second, her face changed, her complexion turned pale, and a long spear was pressed against her throat, a sense of impending death hovering in her throat.

Looking ahead along the spear, she saw a rather elegantly dressed young man, but his movements were anything but elegant; the spear was pressed firmly against her throat, and his eyes were cold.

Looking further behind him, there was another boy with the same appearance, but the boy's bowstring was fully drawn, and his target was clearly... her head.

"Apologize to Junior Sister Cheng Jiu!" Gong Cheng couldn't stand it anymore. How could she say such things for no reason? Junior Sister Cheng Jiu was simply going too far!

He had no sentimentality towards women; he valued Cheng Jiu, whom he had grown up with, more than outsiders.

"Junior Brother Gongcheng, calm down! These people can't be killed yet." The senior brothers and sisters watching around were sweating profusely. Although they also disliked these four people, the incident happened too suddenly. The people who were calmly watching the show suddenly erupted. This is the Guiyuan Sect. If they really make a move against these girls, the Enforcement Hall will not be a pushover.

They all tried to dissuade Miyagi, saying that even if he disapproved, he shouldn't take action!

The girl was frozen in place by the chilling murderous aura emanating from Gongcheng, her legs involuntarily going weak. She heard faint, distant admonitions around her: "I...I was wrong. I spoke without thinking. I shouldn't have said those things about Junior Sister Cheng Jiu."

Upon hearing her apology, Gongcheng slowly lowered his gun: "Junior Sister, what do you think? Should you forgive her?"

Cheng Jiu snapped out of her shock. Although she heard the other person say that she was indeed a little angry, she didn't expect that Gong Cheng and Senior Brother Gong Yu would act even faster than her.

The moment the threat of death arose, the girl's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

Cheng Jiu didn't take it to heart. She had heard plenty of hurtful things in her past life. Although these guys openly and secretly looked down on her and belittled her, she was still a good person.

But does she need to care about these guys' disdain and belittlement?

It's completely unnecessary, okay?

They might never see each other again in the future, so she learned her lesson and let it go. She smiled at Gong Cheng and nodded, "Thank you, Gong Cheng, Senior Brother Gong Yu."

The five people's actions attracted the attention of both parties involved. The young man carefully examined Cheng Jiu, his tone hesitant: "You are, Cheng Jiu's junior sister?"

Cheng Jiu nodded to him: "It's me!" To be honest, she couldn't remember his name either, just like him. Did she have any connection with this senior brother?

"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu is me! Nine years ago, it was Junior Sister Cheng Jiu who refined the White Lotus Pill to save my sister at Medicine Peak!" Yuan Lang said with extreme excitement.

"White Lotus Pill?" Cheng Jiu thought carefully for a moment, then immediately remembered who the person in front of him was, mainly because the other person was the first person to ask him to refine pills: "Medicinal Pearl, right!"

"Yes! Yes! If it weren't for Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, my sister would probably already be... Junior Sister Cheng Jiu's great kindness and virtue, my brother and I will always remember it in our hearts!" Yuan Lang had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Cheng Jiu, but he was weak and powerless, and Cheng Jiu was a disciple of a Celestial Lord, so he couldn't find an opportunity to repay her.

Today, when he heard that someone dared to slander Cheng Jiu, he took the initiative to stand up and caught the group of girls off guard.

Previously, their rumors about Qingxu Immortal Lord accepting disciples went unnoticed and spread extremely widely.

This is the second step: to compare Cheng Jiu with Lingling, hoping to impress Immortal Lord Qingxu by making Cheng Jiu look inferior and causing everyone to believe that Cheng Jiu is unworthy of being Immortal Lord Qingxu's disciple, while Lingling is the most suitable candidate.

First, create momentum. If Lingling really becomes a disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu in the future, she will have the upper hand when fighting against Immortal Lord Qingxu's first disciple.

Even if this rumor doesn't meet the hopes of a few, it will still be a hidden threat in the future. Some things you won't believe if you hear them once, or even twice, but what if you hear them many times?

That was exactly what they were planning. Because of their previous experience, they thought they were in the clear. However, as soon as they started discussing how to spread the word, a hothead interrupted them.

They were caught off guard and had no chance to react, which was then displayed to everyone.

Now that the person in question had also arrived, the girls looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Lingling, whose face turned pale.

Yuan Yan bowed deeply to Cheng Jiu, her voice filled with gratitude: "If it weren't for Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, I would probably be in grave danger. I have no way to repay your great kindness, and I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse!"

Cheng Jiu quickly helped her up, saying, "Why are you like your brother? No need to kneel, no need to kneel! Besides, that medicinal bead was precious enough back then, so it's nothing!"

“Junior sister, there’s no need to say such things! There’s no reason in this world to ask an alchemist to refine medicine for a single set of herbs. If it weren’t for you, junior sister, my silly boy would never have been able to ask an alchemist to refine medicine for him. My brother and I both know that my life was saved by you, junior sister!”

Yuan Yan knew better than her brother. She had been working in the Guiyuan Sect for more than a decade longer than him, and no one knew better than her how difficult it was to get an alchemist to help with a single set of medicinal herbs—it was simply impossible.

Especially considering her brother's situation, she had already inquired about the difficulty of refining the White Lotus Pill. She could only say that she survived because her brother had encountered a kind-hearted fairy child.

So she always told her younger brother that he must remember this kindness and repay it in the future.

So, the reason why she, who is always cautious, chose to stand by her brother's side and support him when he took the initiative to provoke these girls was because they were slandering her benefactor.

Cheng Jiu felt a warm glow and was filled with joy as he looked at the siblings.

She never expected that her kindness would be reciprocated many years later. Rather than saying that good deeds are rewarded, it would be more accurate to say that she was very lucky to have met the Yuan siblings, who are grateful, kind-hearted, and of excellent character.

Wen Sishu looked at the two little bears beside them and felt they were very familiar, so she lowered her head and reached out to touch them.

The two bear cubs, drawn by a familiar yet unfamiliar scent, rubbed against each other.

Touching the familiar, slightly prickly fur and feeling the constant nudging, Wen Sishu fed the two bears two Rank 7 spirit beast pills: "They're those two little bears from the Azure Glass Mountains. I never expected they'd become your contracted beasts! It seems you treat them very well!"

Indeed, that coat of fur is so glossy and shiny; it's not something that can be easily cultivated. It's clearly the result of meticulous care.

Judging from their attire, they weren't exactly wealthy disciples; they were, in fact, very good contractors.

The siblings seem to have given the two bear cubs the best of everything; who can say this isn't the best choice?

Upon hearing this, the siblings looked at each other, scratched their heads awkwardly, and made very similar gestures, clearly indicating that they were siblings.

Through the siblings' explanation, Cheng Jiu and the others learned that Jin Yuan had sent the two bear cubs to the rental shop, and the siblings had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Cheng Jiu, but unfortunately Cheng Jiu had gone to gain experience and his return date was uncertain.

They also heard that Cheng Jiu had brought the two bear cubs back, and out of love for Cheng Jiu, they would often go to see the two bear cubs.

The rental space provided by Guiyuan Sect is excellent, but there is also hidden competition within it. In particular, these two little bears are foreign spirit beasts, and they are bound to be bullied by the more domineering spirit beasts in the rental space.

When Xiao Xiong first arrived at Guiyuan Sect, he was completely unfamiliar with his surroundings and was also very young, so he was filled with anxiety every day.

Fortunately, the siblings came to take care of the bear cub every day, trying their best to protect it from the bullying of those domineering spirit beasts. This gave the bear cub a great sense of security.

They got to know each other after a while, and the two little bears took the initiative to ask to form a contract with the siblings, even though the rental place provided food and drink and the treatment was very good.

But the two bear cubs preferred to stay with the siblings. Perhaps they couldn't provide them with a better life than the rental place, but the unparalleled sense of security they felt there was something the bears longed for.

The siblings were initially very hesitant, as they had never considered contracting a spirit beast, mainly because they couldn't afford to raise one.

If they were to truly form a contract with a spirit beast, they would rather provide the spirit beast with a good environment than have it suffer mistreatment alongside them.

But under Little Bear's strong insistence and attempts to get closer, the two eventually compromised.

Fortunately, after forming a contract with the bear cubs, Yuan Yan, the older sister, broke through to the Golden Core stage and gained better strength to acquire resources to take care of the two bear cubs.

Although the siblings were poor and of average strength, the two little bears lived a very comfortable life, which made some of the spirit beasts at the rental shop a little jealous.

Good owners are hard to find, and owners who treat their pets like family members are even harder to find.

After the story was told, the two of them inevitably felt a little awkward, as if you left your child at someone else's house while you were away, and the other person ended up taking care of the child at their own home!

They initially intended to repay a debt of gratitude, but it seems they've ended up owing each other more!

The five were very pleased with this, especially the disciple from Yaofeng, who grabbed Yuan Lang's hand and earnestly told the two to take good care of the little bear and to come to him if they needed any help.

Wen Sishu was overjoyed to see that the two little bears had found suitable owners.

After all, their mother entrusted the two bear cubs to him because she trusted him.

Unfortunately, none of his friends took a liking to the two bear cubs. Even after returning the two bear cubs to the sect, the matter still weighed on his mind.

Upon returning to his sect, he originally intended to visit the two bear cubs and see if he could arrange suitable owners for them at Medicine Peak.

As a result, as soon as he returned to the peak, his master pulled him away to teach alchemy, and when he had free time, the beast tide broke out again.

He simply didn't have time, but now that he's met Little Bear again, and both of them have started new and wonderful lives, he couldn't be more gratified.

"I wonder if the two senior brothers and sisters have entered the outer sect of the Seven Peaks?" Wen Sishu asked, as if he had just thought of something.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads. Entering the Seven Peaks was not so easy. The difficulty was about the same as turning from the outer sect to the inner sect. Both were leaps over the dragon gate.

Both of them had average aptitude, and even if Yuan Yan broke through to the Golden Core stage, it would be difficult for her to enter the Seven Peaks of the Outer Sect.

"Would you two be willing to become disciples of the outer sect of Medicine Peak?" Wen Sishu wanted to talk to his senior brother and persuade them to join Medicine Peak.

Don't underestimate the opportunity to enter the outer sect of Medicine Peak. For these outer sect disciples outside the Seven Peaks, it's like a windfall.

"But neither of us knows how to refine pills!" Yuan Yan hesitated upon hearing this. Who wouldn't want to? If they could enter the outer sect of Medicine Peak, even raising two little bears wouldn't leave them in such dire straits.

But this is Medicine Peak, the peak with the best benefits and the hardest to get into. It's very difficult to get in if you don't know alchemy.

"It's alright! I remember there are still a few spots for planting spiritual herbs at the foot of the peak. As long as you're willing, I'll put in a word with my senior brother. As long as you know the Spirit Rain Technique, you can go and plant spiritual herbs."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" The two of them couldn't bring themselves to refuse and just kept thanking each other.

Originally, I just wanted to stand up for Cheng Jiu, but now I realize I owe him more and more.

My gratitude towards Cheng Jiu and the others deepened. Indeed, there are still more good people in this world, and one should know how to repay kindness.

When the surrounding disciples heard Wen Sishu so casually promise that the two siblings could become outer disciples of Medicine Peak in the future, some of them were so jealous that their eyes turned red.

If they had known that this would allow them to become outer disciples of Medicine Peak, they would have been even more fervent in protecting Cheng Jiu than Yuan Yan and her brother. Unfortunately, there is no "if only" in this world.

The other four people were caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or stay. They saw that Cheng Jiu and his group were completely ignoring their conversation with Yuan Yan and her brother.

Especially for Lingling, she had already set the tone for the competition. If she left like this, wouldn't she be losing three points of the opponent's momentum for no reason?

How can we compete then? Wouldn't that put us at a disadvantage for no reason?

So the four of them stood there like wooden stakes, while the girl who had been leading the way was still reeling from the earlier threat Miyagi had given her with his spear and didn't dare to interrupt.

All I could do was listen to the seven of them reminiscing.

After catching up, Cheng Jiu and his group of five ignored the other four and prepared to leave the market and return to their peak.

Watching the five people prepare to leave, the four of them felt as if they were in a circus act.

Being on high alert? That's a joke.

The girl with weak legs watched the five people leave with a look of resentment in her eyes, and shouted loudly: "How can you just leave like this, disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu? Are you afraid?"

Do you dare to compete with Lingling? Whoever wins will be qualified to be Qingxu Immortal Lord's disciple.

What? You dare to compete?

Cheng Jiu continued walking without stopping: "My master has never said he would take on a second disciple!"

Cheng Jiu felt that it would be foolish for him to compare himself to Lingling. What was the point of talking about being a good match?

She is already her master's disciple, having gone through the apprenticeship ceremony, and Heaven has recognized her. Why should she compare herself to the other person to see who is more qualified?

Is she just bored and has nothing better to do?

Watching the five people leave with an air of nonchalance, the girl's face turned pale. What they thought was a sure thing now seemed like a joke!
