The main hall of Lingqi Peak is luxuriously decorated; any random ornament might be a magical artifact.

The peacock hasn't come back yet.

Gingerbread had just finished eating melon in the back garden and crouched down to sneak back to the front hall.

I am now extremely restless.

It's only been a few months since she transmigrated, and there's already so much drama surrounding the Sword Sect!

We can't possibly finish it all.

That senior sister Rongrong is beautiful, and we just gave her a gift. It wouldn't be right not to help her, would it?

"Who in the family understands this?!" Gingerbread said, speechless.

Did I travel through time to save all living beings?

She asked a sincere question!

Gingerbread sighed, took out red dates from its cloth bag and started eating them. It would scratch its cheeks and change its sitting position, its anxiety and entanglement evident.

"Senior Brother Xie, the formation on your sword is now secure."

"Okay, thank you, Junior Sister Rong."

Finally back!

Gingerbread's eyes lit up, and it quickly ran out of the hall.

"Senior Sister Rongrong—"

She ran up to the two of them, but before she could finish speaking, she stopped in her tracks as a man and a woman walked up the stairs.

They were all dressed in blue and white sword sect attire.

He wore the emblem of the Spirit Weapon Peak on his chest.

"Junior sister—" The female cultivator covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing shyly at Xie Yingnan, "Senior brother Yingnan, are you here to repair the spirit sword?"

"Hmm." Xie Yingnan's attitude was indifferent.

It seems that peacocks are picky eaters and don't radiate charm to everyone they meet.

but--

That voice sounds so familiar!

Oh, right!

This is the woman talking behind the artificial hill.

It turns out that the two of them were trying to harm Wang Rongrong.

Seeing Xie Yingnan's cold attitude, the female cultivator's pretty face darkened, but her expression returned to normal as she turned away.

He's practically a master of face-changing.

She wasn't angry. She gently took out a deep blue umbrella from her storage bag and handed it to Wang Rongrong. "Junior sister, Master added an array and asked me to bring it to you."

"Okay, thank you for making the trip, senior sister."

Wang Rongrong stretched out her hands, as if to take it.

Gingerbread suddenly sensed something was wrong.

This is the magical artifact that has been tampered with!

"Wow—what a beautiful umbrella!"

During the handover, a chubby little hand suddenly reached out and snatched the umbrella away.

Just as gingerbread was about to open the umbrella.

The female cultivator's expression changed drastically, and her tone became unfriendly: "Don't you know the rules! This is Junior Sister Wang's natal spiritual weapon. How dare you, an outsider, snatch it away like this? Give it to me!"

He reached out and grabbed the umbrella roughly.

Xie Yingnan frowned. Although he didn't like this little fool, he was still someone he had brought with him, so how could he let him be bullied?

"Isn't this junior sister's behavior a bit excessive?" Xie Yingnan drew the soft sword from his waist, and the slender sword wrapped around the female cultivator's arm like a vine.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Gingerbread opened the umbrella and threw it out.

A deep blue umbrella hung high in the air. Wang Rongrong frowned when she saw a certain array formation.

"Wow! Senior Sister Rongrong, your umbrella is so beautiful! When will Bingbing be able to have such a pretty magical artifact!"

Her reminder was brief and to the point.

Wang Rongrong sensed something, her expression somber but she forced a smile and said, "Junior Sister will have it after she reaches Foundation Establishment."

Her bright and beautiful face was tinged with bitterness, and her smiling lips were taut. She turned to Xie Yingnan with a heavy heart and said, "Senior Brother Xie, there are still things to take care of on the peak."

"I won't give you the velvet."

Xie Yingnan sensed that something was off.

The two cultivators from the Spirit Weapon Peak avoided eye contact.

He understood, cupped his hands in farewell, and said, "Then I'll take my junior sister with me now."

Do the whole act.

When Xie Yingnan took Jiang Bingbing away, she clung to his arm and shook it vigorously, "Third Senior Brother, Bingbing wants a beautiful magical artifact too! I want one too!"

And so they made a ruckus all the way back to Xianyu Peak.

Xie Yingnan slipped away extremely quickly.

"Tsk, stingy." Gingerbread returned to the courtyard, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it with a smug look.

"Saving people is so tiring!" she exclaimed.

...

There are still two days left in the holiday.

During this time, she went to Zhenxiu Peak to deliver the blueprints to Master Ma, asking her to turn the things in the drawings into mounts.

He spent the rest of his time obediently cultivating in his room.

"I initially found the mantras obscure and difficult to understand, but why did it suddenly become clear after I closed my eyes and meditated?"

Gingerbread was completely baffled. After racking his brains, he finally slapped his thigh and came to a conclusion.

"I really am a cultivation genius!"

"......"

Fen Jue, who had just woken up from his cultivation, felt a tightness in his chest.

He really is.

I regret forming a pact with this shameless girl.

When Gingerbread finished its holiday and went to Tiande Hall for class, the incident at Lingqi Peak finally came to light.

Zhuge Tienan excitedly shared the gossip with her.

"Little Bing, Spirit Weapon Peak actually kicked out two inner disciples. Can you guess why?"

Gingerbread knows why, of course.

If it weren't for her.

Today's gossip is about Wang Rongrong's death.

She feigned ignorance and asked, "Why?"

Zhuge Tienan leaned closer, looking like he didn't want to air his dirty laundry in public, "I heard it was about harming fellow disciples!"

"Bad guys deserve it!"

Gingerbread crossed her arms and said angrily.

Zhuge Tienan: "They deserved it! When the Sword Sect was first established, the ancestor set a rule that anyone who harmed a fellow disciple would be expelled from the Sword Sect and never be accepted back. Other sects dared not accept those who were expelled from the Sword Sect. They could only become rogue cultivators, who were helpless and miserable!"

"I don't know what those people were thinking, they just knew how to take crooked and unethical approaches."

"Mmm~" Gingerbread chimed in softly.

People who use illegitimate means to achieve their goals have existed throughout history and everywhere. In modern times, from school to work, she has encountered many such people with crooked minds.
