Chapter 753: 751: Sect Master’s Good-for-Nothing Daughter 25

Xie Jiuqing and the other two have just come out from a certain Secret Realm. The three teamed up two years ago for training, accidentally falling into a Secret Realm. Now that they’ve just come out, they don’t plan to stay outside any longer and immediately return to the Sect.

Because it was a Secret Realm without any time restrictions on entering and exiting, it’s enormous, filled with countless opportunities. The three of them couldn’t explore much in two years, so they naturally want the Sect to secure it quickly. Even if they can’t have it all to themselves, they still need a certain degree of control.

Pei Feixue, upon learning of this, quickly gathered the high-level members of the Sect, arranging for some Elders and the Peak Master to go to the Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuqing and the other two left marks, making it very easy to find.

The higher-ups in the Sect, not daring to delay, made full use of their speed advantages to head to the Secret Realm without stopping.

Xie Jiuqing and the other two, who discovered the Secret Realm, also received rewards from the Sect and were preparing to return to their respective caves.

All of them were disciples of Pei Feixue, naturally living on the main peak, close to where Ah Chen’s cave was.

On the way, a servant disciple told the three about recent happenings in the Sect.

Only then did they know that Jin Congmo was injured during training, damaging his Dantian and is still gathering Spiritual Medicine, unclear when it would be enough.

Xie Jiuqing, having some friendship with Jin Congmo, even sharing a good relationship, dismissed the idea of returning to his cave immediately and decided to visit Jin Congmo to see if he needed any Spiritual Medicine.

"It was by a Flood Dragon, as it captured Senior Sister Jin. I heard that the Flood Dragon was at Nascent Soul Early Stage," the servant disciple said. "There’s actually a misunderstanding involved in this."

Seeing the three’s curiosity, the servant disciple didn’t keep them in suspense and explained about how people initially misunderstood Pei Chen.

Xie Jiuqing frowned slightly, "Did Little Junior Sister go for training too? With her cultivation level, she dared to train? Wasn’t she just causing trouble?"

The servant disciple looked a bit awkward, lightly coughed, and whispered, "At that time, Senior Sister Pei secretly followed, but it really had nothing to do with Senior Sister Pei. The scene of the Flood Dragon capturing Senior Sister Jin was shown for three days and nights on several peaks."

"Originally, Senior Sister Pei hadn’t intended to take out the Memory Stone, which was meant to record the scenery but happened to capture it. Some people still didn’t believe it wasn’t related to her and gossiped behind her back, leading her to bring the Memory Stone out."

The servant disciple felt he joined too late and didn’t get familiar with Senior Sister Pei’s face. Otherwise, he’d have run errands quietly for benefits, never saying a bad word about her.

Many disciples in the Sect with average talents have received benefits from Senior Sister Pei.

Does Senior Sister Pei truly need them to run errands for her?

Being someone who understood the ways of the world, he guessed Senior Sister Pei did this mostly out of some sympathy and care for those average-talented disciples.

However, with Senior Sister Pei’s character, she would never show this and could only arrange people to run errands.

Otherwise, why would the errand runners be different each time?

Still, many disciples didn’t see Senior Sister Pei in a good light for some reason.

He’d heard older disciples reminisce about how likable Senior Sister Pei was as a child, with everyone in the Sect thinking she was cute and caring for her.

As she grew older, her temperament worsened and she became less likable, occasionally having conflicts with others.

Those older disciples further suggested that it was indeed younger children who are more endearing.

Privately, he’d overheard people saying Pei was simply jealous, and he couldn’t figure out why.

Senior Sister Pei’s temperament became less endearing, but her reputation worsened due to jealousy in people’s hearts and a desire for more. Her kindness, to some, led to further jealousy and even viewing her as a fool, feeling no gratitude from their hearts.

Nowadays, it’s been a long time since Senior Sister Pei asked any disciple to run errands downhill, making some people anxious recently.

It’s said that Senior Sister Pei now dedicates herself to concocting Elixirs for the Sect’s Spiritual Beasts, causing envy among many with no alternative.

The servant disciple sneered inwardly, wasn’t it deserved?

So, next time if Senior Sister Pei is forgiving and wants someone to run errands, could she pick him? He knew how to keep his mouth shut and felt genuinely grateful, respecting the resources fully.

"To think such a thing happened, one can imagine how wronged the little junior sister must have felt at the time," Ling Yu said, "I won’t follow First Senior Brother then, I’ll go see the Little Junior Sister."

With those words, Ling Yu turned and left.

"I’m not going either; I need to solidify my cultivation," Jiang Yuzhao said. She wasn’t very mindful of the Sect’s happenings, including Little Junior Sister’s matters. Practicing was more important in her eyes, with nothing else causing her inner stirrings.

Xie Jiuqing, naturally not insisting, went to Jin Congmo’s cave himself.

Upon hearing that Xie Jiuqing had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage, Jin Congmo felt quite troubled.

Xie Jiuqing asked about the remaining Spiritual Medicine, and not hesitating, he named what he needed, not expecting Xie Jiuqing to actually have two kinds.

Adding to the previous inventory, they had gathered eleven out of twelve kinds of Spiritual Medicine, lacking only the final one for Jin Congmo’s recovery.

His previous low spirits vanished, replaced by a beaming smile, "Brother Xie, I really must thank you this time."

"It’s nothing," Xie Jiuqing wasn’t truly concerned. Both having Heavenly Spirit Roots, they secretly competed with each other, yet also admired each other. Having once trained together, they’d cooperated in handling various crises, maintaining a good relationship.

"I hope you find the last Spiritual Medicine soon; I’ll head back now."

Once Xie Jiuqing left, Jin Congmo hurried to contact Qi Feng, informing him of the news, whereupon Qi Feng, equally delighted, earnestly began searching for that last Spiritual Medicine.

Ah Chen, while refining pills in her cave, heard Ling Yu’s voice from outside.

She dismantled the Array, with not just Third Senior Brother Ling Yu entering but also the Spiritual Beasts squeezing through, with cute faces crowding before Ah Chen, all coming for treats.

Ling Yu hadn’t even reached Ah Chen when she got surrounded by Spiritual Beasts, all rubbing against her.

To make her fond of them, they’d specially groomed their fur, ensuring cleanliness without a single unpleasant odor.

Ling Yu was a bit stunned. Since when did Little Junior Sister become so popular with Spiritual Beasts?

Then he noticed the Alchemy Furnace at the side and realized, was Little Junior Sister refining pills?

"Little Junior Sister, did I disturb you?" Ling Yu asked softly, "Wouldn’t this cause the furnace to explode?"

Ah Chen, smiling, looked up, "No, it won’t. Third Senior Brother, have you returned from training?"

"Yes, I have. Soon, Sect disciples should have tasks. We discovered a Secret Realm, and Sect disciples should be arranged to enter in batches for training. It’s vast, not fully explored even after two years."

"That sounds good."

"Little Junior Sister, what’s happening? Why do so many Spiritual Beasts suddenly like you?" Ling Yu asked.
