Chapter 206 Seeking Medicine
Ultimately, Ye Danqing, Qin Xiu, and Ning Wanshuang from the Tianyi Sect went to find Su Luo, while the other three sects were represented by Gu Changhuai, Ye Yi, and Bai Jinyan, to prevent any conflict between the two groups.
And the other side.
Su Luo and the others have restored the Ten Thousand Bones Pit to its original state. If one does not look closely, no one would guess that the Seven-Colored Lotus grows here.
After finishing all this, the group dusted themselves off and continued on until they found a thriving, century-old tree, where they sat down to rest.
Chu Wenqing was excitedly telling Feng Xiyue and the others about what had just happened, and he was even more furious when he mentioned that the people from Tianyi Sect had blindly spoken up for Ning Wanshuang.
"Those people from Tianyi Sect are all blind, black-hearted idiots! No matter what Ning Wanshuang says, even if she's wrong, they treat her words as gospel! Especially Qin Xiu and Ye Danqing, those two are incredibly stupid! Look at how they treat Su Luo, and then compare that to how they treat Ning Wanshuang, it's just speechless! A bunch of morons!"
Chu Wenqing was genuinely angry; he felt sorry for Su Luo!
Feng Xiyue's beautiful face was also covered in frost. "Those people are all fools! They've mistaken a fish eye for a pearl. They'll regret it one day!"
Song Qiao nodded emphatically as well.
He agreed with his senior sister. Su Luo was incredibly skilled at drawing talismans, knew how to create formations, and had even signed a contract with a spirit beast. She was far more powerful than Ning Wanshuang! If the people of the sect knew Su Luo's true abilities, they would regret it to death!
Lin Ji pursed his lips, unexpectedly recalling the first time he became interested in Su Luo.
Back then, in the back mountain of Tianyi Sect, almost all the disciples glared at Su Luo with hostility. Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu, in order to protect Ning Wanshuang, whom they were impersonating, even forced Su Luo to hand over the spiritual plants she possessed. There was absolutely no sense of camaraderie among the disciples, even though Su Luo was their junior sister at the time!
Those people in the Tianyi Sect are all blind and indiscriminate! Masters don't care about their disciples, senior and junior disciples don't respect their fellow disciples, and disciples often bully lower-ranking ones because of their higher status. Numerous despicable acts have occurred. What reason does such a sect with such corrupt conduct have to exist?
Thinking of this, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of bloodlust crossing the depths of his dark eyes, gone in an instant.
Seeing everyone's indignant expressions, Su Luo shook her head and chuckled, "Those people have nothing to do with me anymore, why bother with them? We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning, and we won't have any further involvement with them. Let them continue being stupid."
Su Luo was sincere. She wasn't the original owner of this body, and she had no real feelings for the Tianyi Sect, not to mention that she was utterly disgusted by those brainless idiots like Ye Danqing. Now that she had left the Tianyi Sect, her life was getting better and better!
"I not only have wonderful companions and partners now, but I'm also brimming with magical treasures, spirit stones, and spiritual plants. I'm truly content. It's so good to have you all!"
As she said this, Su Luo's lips curled up, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at the four of them.
The four of them were taken aback, and then they all became embarrassed.
Lin Ji was the most excited. He stared blankly at Su Luo, her words echoing in his mind.
Partner, partner, partner... Su Luo acknowledged that he was her partner!
Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao blushed.
Even the thick-skinned Chu Wenqing scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and finally said something silly.
"Su Luo, I'm embarrassed to respond to your sudden remark."
Su Luo's smile widened, "Because you deserve it!"
Chu Wenqing and the other two looked at each other and, seeing the silly grins on each other's faces, couldn't help but laugh at each other.
"Hahaha... Senior sister, you're laughing so silly!"
"Hmph, you're even dumber than me!"
"Senior sister, senior brother, your smiles are kind of silly..."
"the same as you!"
Su Luo watched the three bickering gently without stopping them. Just then, her hand was taken and their fingers were intertwined.
Without even guessing, she knew it was Lin Ji.
Su Luo turned around and saw Lin Ji staring intently at her, his eyes flashing with an astonishing light.
"Su Luo, you just said I'm your partner...you've acknowledged me!"
Unlike before, Su Luo no longer laughed it off shyly. Instead, she grasped Lin Ji's hand and nodded emphatically, "Yes, you are my partner, someone extremely important to me. Lin Ji, let's go live in seclusion on a small island after we leave the secret realm!"
Su Luo's words struck Lin Ji like a hammer blow, causing his heart to pound wildly. He couldn't help but smile, looking like a fool.
If it weren't for the three pairs of eyes watching them, he would have already pulled Su Luo into his arms!
Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, Lin Ji suddenly stopped smiling, and Song Qiao also raised his head.
"Someone is coming!"
The men's expressions changed, and they all became serious.
Soon, they saw a group of people led by Ye Danqing walking towards them.
Su Luo couldn't help but click her tongue. These people really are persistent!
Feng Xiyue stood up, took a few steps forward to block the newcomers' path, and said coldly, "I remember we reminded you not to bother us. What, are you really deaf?"
Bai Jinyan and his group silently walked a few steps away from the Tianyi Sect members, indicating that they were not with the Tianyi Sect.
Ye Danqing's expression darkened at Feng Xiyue's blunt words, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he took a deep breath, opened his palm, stared intently at Feng Xiyue, and asked...
"Fellow Daoist Feng, we've come to ask you something. Have you ever seen this petal before?"
Feng Xiyue glanced at it and noticed a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus lying in Ye Danqing's hand. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. "This is a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus, isn't it?"
They've already picked all the Seven-Colored Lotus, so where did these petals come from? Did the wind accidentally blow them there?
“These are indeed petals of the Seven-Colored Lotus. They were blown here by the wind. We suspected that there were Seven-Colored Lotuses in this oasis, so we searched around the oasis, but unfortunately we couldn’t find them. So we came to ask you if you have seen any Seven-Colored Lotuses?”
Feng Xiyue immediately shook her head, "No. How could we possibly see such a precious spiritual plant as the Seven-Colored Lotus so easily?"
This is a lie.
There are two Seven-Colored Lotus flowers in her storage bag right now; they picked way too many! But why did she tell these people?
As soon as Feng Xiyue finished speaking, Ning Wanshuang couldn't help but speak up.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, you don't need to lie to us anymore! This petal drifted from your direction, which means that the Seven Clouds Lotus you mentioned was in this area. We didn't see a single Seven Clouds Lotus on our way here, which is enough to prove that you picked them all!"
Feng Xiyue's face immediately darkened, and she sneered, "You say we picked it, so we picked it? Where's the evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that we picked the Seven-Colored Lotus? You can't just make wild guesses without evidence! It's utterly ridiculous!"
Chu Wenqing also came over and joined Feng Xiyue in attacking Ning Wanshuang.
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone making such a guess based on just a single petal! I might as well say that I just lost 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, which were stolen by people from your Tianyi Sect, and you'd better give them back to me now!"
Ning Wanshuang's face turned pale after being rebuked.
"You bullshit!"
Qin Xiu's eyes widened in anger, and he wanted nothing more than to pounce on Chu Wenqing and beat him up. "Don't you dare frame our sect! How could we possibly steal your spirit stones?! And 100,000 high-grade spirit stones at that! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?! Chu Wenqing, do you even have that many spirit stones?!"
Chu Wenqing crossed her arms and said, "I really do have one!"
Since following Su Luo, he's now rolling in money!
Qin Xiu didn't believe it. "You're just bragging!"
"Alright, stop arguing! We need to get down to business!"
Seeing the two arguing further and further away from the main topic, Ye Danqing couldn't help but frown and shout at them.
Qin Xiu reluctantly shut up.
Chu Wenqing made a face at Qin Xiu, which made Qin Xiu roll his eyes in anger.
Ye Danqing felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Every time he encountered Chu Wenqing and his group, they were always making a racket! If it weren't for the Seven-Colored Lotus, he really wouldn't bother with them!
Ye Danqing took a deep breath, glanced at Su Luo behind him with a complicated expression, and then spoke gently again: "Fellow Daoist Feng, don't misunderstand, we really just wanted to ask if you have seen the Seven-Colored Lotus, that's all."
He then sighed, a worried look on his face. "My master was unfortunately injured by villains, his inner core damaged. Only the Seven-Colored Lotus can save him. That's why we entered this perilous Cloud Realm to search for the Seven-Colored Lotus, but so far we haven't seen a trace of it. Now that we've finally seen a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus, we really don't want to give up this only hope! So, we've swallowed our pride and come to you to beg for the Seven-Colored Lotus. If you've really managed to pick it, could you... sell it to us?"
After he finished speaking, he even bowed to the group.
Feng Xiyue and the others were stunned, including Su Luo.
Elder Qingya Zi was so badly injured that he needed the Seven-Colored Lotus to heal him! He was the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage! Who could possibly hurt him?!
In a corner where no one was watching, Lin Ji lowered his eyelashes to hide the malice in his eyes, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
That arrogant guy is still alive, what a pity...
