Chapter 83: Protecting Senior Sister from the Unscrupulous Is a Junior Sister’s Duty!

Description

Most cultivators’ contests were not that roundabout.

After the notary was confirmed, they each found opponents and began fighting one another.

They had heard Yun Li’s earlier scolding of Su Lingzi and also felt the previous discussion had been too rough, so they set a few more rules themselves.

By agreement, each of them had only one chance to fight someone.

They chose their own opponents, and the content of the contest was also decided by the two of them.

When the time came, even if they lost it would be because their skill was inferior; they could not blame anyone else.

Before long these people’s contests ended one after another.

Su Zhan watched from the side and did not find anything improper.

If she had to say something, it was that these people were overly rule-abiding and basically all stopped at a touch.

This was somewhat different from Su Lingzi’s original plan, yet the general direction had at least developed toward the situation she had envisioned.

She felt a bit helpless.

Although she had lost because of this, fortunately the junior sister in her same group had won, so they had gained something after all.

It had not been in vain that she had wasted so much talk persuading everyone in front of the crowd.

She had originally still tried to draw a bit closer to Su Zhan, but every time she approached a few steps Yun Li would glare at her without any courtesy, then pull Su Zhan away like a hen protecting her chick, even remembering to make a face at her.

Throughout the entire process Su Zhan offered no resistance.

Whatever Yun Li said, she did.

Interesting.

A Nascent Soul stage senior sister… how was she managed so obediently by a Qi Refining junior sister?

It truly made one a little curious.

Thirty minutes was not long.

Very soon the fruits of the tree of light were picked clean and scattered into specks of starlight that sank into the earth.

That rock also swayed and floated up, returning to its original appearance.

It was rather miraculous.

According to the agreement, Su Zhan obtained the first batch of two fruits and prepared to leave before refining them.

The others who had been allotted fruits prepared to absorb them on the spot.

After all, if they left, what if other people who hurried over later tried to snatch them?

There were many people here; even if someone harbored thoughts they would not truly make a move.

Even so, there were still some who had not obtained fruits wandering around.

“Are you annoying or not?

Why do you keep sneaking up in front of my senior sister?!”

When Su Lingzi walked over once more and tried to strike up a conversation, Yun Li blocked in front of Su Zhan and huffed at her, putting her dislike right on her face.

“I came to apologize to Senior Sister Su.” Su Lingzi smiled and cupped her hands toward the two of them.

“Just now I failed to consider things that deeply and caused this junior sister to misunderstand.

I can swear a Heavenly Dao oath that those words just now absolutely had no intent to frame anyone.”

“You already said words like that without thinking that deeply.

If you thought even deeper, wouldn’t you trick my senior sister into going to dig coal?”

Whatever you say, as long as I’ve decided you don’t have good intentions, then hurry up and stay far away!

Yun Li planted her hands on her hips and said unhappily, “Hurry up and leave.

I don’t want you talking to my senior sister.”

“How would I have that ability…

Just now it truly was an unintentional mistake,” Su Lingzi’s mouth twitched.

How had this little girl imagined her to be that bad.

“Why digging coal?” Su Zhan said, depressed. “What kind of nonsense is digging coal.

Does she look that easy to trick.”

“Probably because too many such things have happened in the cultivation world recently?

I remember over in Eastern Yi there were Foundation Establishment cultivators abducted to dig spirit mines.

The way they lived was miserable, you know,” Su Lingzi seized the chance to speak.

“Senior Sister, don’t talk and give this person a chance to latch on!”

Yun Li was so angry she could not speak.

How was this person so hard to shake off, grabbing any pole she could climb.

Utterly shameless.

She glared fiercely at Su Lingzi, snorted, and pulled Su Zhan away at a quick pace.

“Ai, Junior Sister, don’t walk so fast.

This one sincerely wants to befriend the two of you.”

“Annoying!

Who’s your junior sister!

Go away!”

Su Zhan and the others sat on the mechanical bird and swayed away from the plain.

All along the way the two girls sat on Su Zhan’s left and right, talking without stop, one sentence after another.

“She even wanted to get close to Senior Sister.

Dream on.

Pei, shameless!” Yun Li said indignantly.

“Exactly, exactly.” Chu Yao nodded in agreement. “Senior Sister, that creature is not a good person at all.

From the very beginning she never had good intentions!”

“And you, Senior Sister Chu, why didn’t you help me stop her just now?

I get angry the moment I see her!” Yun Li scolded.

“Exactly, exactly.” Chu Yao continued nodding in agreement.

“Ah? How is there something involving me too?

I’m wronged,” Chu Yao’s face was full of innocence.

This plain was so big, how could she possibly stop her.

That person ran so fast she truly could not catch up.

“…Enough, Junior Sister.

Don’t be angry.

It’s already over.” Su Zhan sighed helplessly and reached out to pat Yun Li’s head.

“Then Senior Sister, don’t forget either.

From now on you’re not allowed to agree to everything so casually…” The girl rather restlessly ducked away, still jutting her lips, looking every bit like she was very angry right now.

“Senior Sister Su, Junior Sister Yun, those spirit tree fruits will also dissipate after a period of time.

To be safe, better refine them first,” Shen Zhi said while sitting at the very front steering the mechanical bird.

She deliberately changed the subject to rescue Su Zhan.

As a senior sister, being lectured by a junior sister for so long was far too face-losing.

Although Senior Sister Su was not annoyed, Shen Zhi could not quite watch it anymore.

“That’s right.

Junior Sister, let’s refine the fruits first.

This is an important matter and cannot be delayed,” Su Zhan said solemnly.

“Nn, all right.

Senior Sister together too.”

Yun Li nodded and said nothing more.

After all, in her understanding her own senior sister had made a sacrifice for her sake so that she would have the chance to obtain this opportunity.

It could not be wasted.

Her senior sister was good in every way, knew how to take care of people, and her emotions were very stable.

She was just too dull.

It was all the fault of that hateful Ruthless Dao, turning Senior Sister into a block of wood.

Yun Li took out the fruit she had carefully tucked against her chest.

Whether or not it was a psychological effect, as she looked at this fruit it actually seemed to have dimmed a little.

After hurriedly giving Senior Sister one, under Chu Yao’s guidance she tightly closed her eyes, held her mind, brought the fruit to the position of her dantian, silently recited her mental formula, and began to absorb.

A warm feeling immediately spread from her abdomen through her entire body.

At first there was a slight stinging, yet it quickly gathered into a warm current that wandered through her body accompanied by a somewhat tingling numbness.

She could not help letting out a light moan.

Su Zhan silently stared at her junior sister, thinking, Is this girl a little too sensitive?

Why is it that every time she encounters some opportunity, her reaction is like she was…

Yet she quietly observed Chu Yao’s expression and discovered the other party did not seem to find it strange.

It was probably a normal phenomenon.

She was the one whose thoughts had gone askew.

Pressing down the messy train of thought, Su Zhan drew a deep breath, imitated Yun Li’s movements, closed her eyes, and also began to absorb the fruit.

Within the Purple Mansion of her Nascent Soul, as the essence inside the fruit was drawn in, a vortex-shaped mass of spiritual energy slowly formed, gradually drawing close to the Nascent Soul itself and fusing with it, like a baptism.

And in her sea of spiritual consciousness, she saw a tiny figure crouched in a corner, hugging itself and trembling.

That figure’s face could not be seen clearly… yet it seemed to be murmuring something the whole time.

Su Zhan concentrated and listened, and heard that figure constantly whispering one sentence.

“Qingqing… where are you… I’m so scared… where are you…”
