Lu Zhengming was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's see whose fault it is."

“If it is the other party’s fault, then how can I allow others to bully my daughter?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Tianjin's expression darkened even further.

According to the sect's rules, he really couldn't gain anything from this matter, but he couldn't swallow his anger even if he just let it go like this.

An elder nodded. “That’s true. According to the sect rules, Elder Qian, you must open your storage ring and let Fu Yue choose three items from it. Otherwise, your son will have to return to the life-and-death arena.”

"Elder Qian, what do you think?"

The elder in charge of law enforcement looked at Qian Tianjin’s gloomy face and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Only now did Lu Zhengming understand the whole story. Although Qian Tianjin was the master of one of the peaks of Fulu Peak, he couldn't afford to offend him.

But no matter what, Fuyue is still his daughter. Qian Tianjin openly violated the sect rules and injured the sect leader's daughter. Isn't this a slap in his face?

Lu Zhengming's gaze immediately turned cold as he looked at Qian Tianjin. He said sternly, "Elder Qian, even I, the sect master, cannot violate the sect's rules. How dare you do this today? Not only did you injure my daughter, but you also disregard the sect's rules!"

Elder Dan, seeing this scene, also stepped forward, after all, he had injured his only disciple.

"Elder Qian, I've noticed that your son has been bullying others in the Tianxuan Sect for quite some time now. If Fuyue hadn't shown mercy today, you probably wouldn't have seen him. If you don't discipline him properly, he won't be so lucky next time he meets someone else."

Qian Tianjin looked at them in disbelief. They actually showed no respect to him, a fifth-grade talisman master, for the sake of a little girl.

He raised his hand, trembling, and pointed at the elders and others, "Fine, fine, fine, I guess I'm just unlucky today!"

After saying that, he reluctantly took out his storage ring and handed it to Lu Fuyue, letting her choose.

Lu Fuyue glanced at the people present. Lu Zhengming, the law enforcement elder, and Elder Dan all nodded to her, so she felt reassured and began to choose items.

After looking around for a while, she took out the first item, which looked like a defensive magic robe.

Upon seeing this item, Qian Tianjin's face turned green, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only admit defeat.

He closed his eyes, hoping that out of sight, out of mind, and that God would protect her from picking that thing.

"Fuyue, you're lucky. A fifth-grade defensive robe would suit you well, so that some people won't take advantage of your age to bully you."

Lu Fuyue smiled sweetly, then took out something else from inside.

When the people present saw what it was, they were all stunned.

Lu Zhengming exclaimed in shock, "This is... a high-grade Earth-level cultivation technique called 'Step by Step Lotus'?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Tianjin, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes filled with heartache. He immediately rushed over, saying, "This won't do, change it to something else!"

Upon seeing that it was indeed true, the elder in charge of law enforcement reached out to stop Qian Tianjin. "Hey, Elder Qian, are you going to violate the sect's rules?"

Lu Zhengming also looked at Qian Tianjin with suspicion. Even Elder Dan, who rarely got involved in things, looked at him. So he could only grit his teeth and say, "How could that be? Continue, continue."

"That's good."

When Lu Fuyue reached in again, she suddenly felt something attracting her. However, when she took it out and looked at it, everyone was greatly disappointed.

It turned out to be just a jade hairpin without any spirit, nothing special except for being pretty.

Even Qian Tianjin couldn't remember when he put such a thing inside.

Fortunately, it wasn't anything important, otherwise he would have really gone crazy.

However, Lu Fuyue had a premonition that this hairpin was not simple.

Lu Zhengming glanced at Qian Tianjin, whose face was ashen, and sighed.

"Since Fuyue has already chosen three items, let's leave it at that."

However, Lu Fuyue suddenly spoke up, "Father, I would like to make a copy of this cultivation manual and put it in the library for all my fellow disciples to borrow."

Lu Zhengming glanced at Lu Fuyue with some surprise. He had been thinking about how to tell her, but she brought it up herself first.

"Fuyue, are you sure?"

After all, most people wouldn't share their cultivation techniques with others, let alone hand them over to the library.

Lu Fuyue nodded obediently, "I'm sure."

Lu Zhengming pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, since that's the case, the sect can't take advantage of you for nothing, so we'll give you 100,000 contribution points."

Lu Fuyue was overjoyed, not expecting such an unexpected gain. "Thank you, Father."

She obtained a high-grade local cultivation technique in front of everyone. Although some people didn't show it on their faces, they would definitely have designs on her.

Although she wasn't afraid, petty people were difficult to deal with and troublesome to handle.

Handing over this cultivation manual would not only reduce the danger lurking in the shadows, but also do the sect a favor. Why not do it?

...

After this matter was over, Lu Fuyue returned to her cave dwelling.

She took out the jade hairpin she had just used and studied it repeatedly for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out. So she tried dripping a drop of blood onto the jade hairpin, but there was still no change.

Could it be that she really sensed something wrong?

Just then, the spirit of the Weak Water Harp, Shui Ze, awoke.

Seeing Lu Fuyue's self-doubting expression, he suddenly appeared beside her and asked, puzzled, "What happened?"

Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and handed him the item in her hand. "I don't know why, but I always feel that this jade hairpin has a strange attraction for me."

Shui Ze took the jade hairpin and looked at it. His eyes flickered slightly. This was... Shui Ling?

With a gentle wave of his right hand, a small, light blue dot flew swiftly from the jade hairpin into Lu Fuyue's brow.

"This is a great opportunity for you, seize it."

Lu Fuyue frowned slightly, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy pool, her whole body chilled.

Suddenly, she emitted bursts of light blue from her body, and the meridians in her body began to break and heal repeatedly.

She clenched her teeth, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face became even paler.

"Hold on, this is a water spirit, and you have a top-grade water spirit root, so you can try to refine it and achieve a water spirit body."

Although Lu Fuyue's consciousness was gradually fading, she could still hear what Shui Ze was saying.

Watery?

It is the water spirit among the five elements in legend.

So she forced herself to cheer up and mobilized the spiritual energy within her body to circulate the Yin-Yang Life and Death Technique.

Yin and Yang give rise to each other, life and death cycle, Yin, Yin, Yang, reincarnation has its way.

...

As time passed, a large number of black impurities began to appear on Lu Fuyue's body, and her skin became more and more delicate.
