"Senior sister, you..." Ji Xiaoxiao's direct refusal left Huang Yanheng speechless, unsure whether to stand up or kneel, her face a picture of confusion and helplessness.

Ji Xiaoxiao loved watching Huang Yanheng's pathetic state. Back then, Huang Yanheng was heartless, disregarding the bonds of sisterhood and trampling on the original owner's pride and self-respect to climb to the top. Ji Xiaoxiao didn't consider herself a kind-hearted person; Huang Yanheng had been trying to profit from her, so she wouldn't hesitate to turn her back on her. Besides, a hungry tiger wouldn't let a fat sheep that had offered itself up pass by.

Unending and endless, what can be done? If not plucked even a hair, it will become an axe handle.

If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring. Over time, they'll inevitably become a major problem. Ji Xiaoxiao is determined to nip Huang Yanheng, this natural adversary, in the bud. However, since the original owner's wish didn't explicitly require Huang Yanheng to pay for her crimes with her life, Ji Xiaoxiao can't act on her own. But a complete and utter suppression is unavoidable.

As someone once said, "Today's cause will surely have tomorrow's effect, and today's effect will also arise from yesterday's cause. There is cause and effect, and effect and cause. The cycle of cause and effect is inescapable, and retribution is inevitable."

The words were spoken in a refined and elegant manner, but Ji Xiaoxiao wholeheartedly agreed. What goes around comes around; look up and see who the heavens have spared! As for her own current state, it was simply the time for retribution for her past actions. She couldn't blame anyone or complain about anyone else.

"Junior sister, if you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly. Senior sister shouldn't be idle like junior sister. You still need to continue cultivating later and strive to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and ascend to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible." Ji Xiaoxiao walked to the old pine tree, straightened her clothes, and sat down directly on the futon.

Her clenched fist trembled slightly. Huang Yanheng was burning with anger and shaking all over, but her face remained calm and indifferent. "Senior sister, I beg you, please let me see Qingyou Cave with my own eyes!"

Huang Yanheng solemnly kowtowed deeply, then stubbornly raised her head, her defiant, shimmering eyes staring directly at Ji Xiaoxiao in silence. Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at her lightly, unmoved, and slowly closed her eyes; the silent stare was by no means an invitation with a smile.

"Senior sister, I believe that sincerity can move mountains. If you refuse my small request today, I will kneel and beg you until tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the same as today, and I will never give up." Huang Yanheng wished she could devour Ji Xiaoxiao alive, but she had to ask for a favor, and she couldn't act like a big shot.

If an ordinary person were present, they would have already marveled at Huang Yanheng's perseverance and determination, and happily granted all of her reasonable and unreasonable requests. Ji Xiaoxiao was no ordinary person; she believed that by not taking advantage of her misfortune and merely using the recording stone secretly, she had already shown respect to Master Yunyi.

I thought Huang Yanheng was all talk and no action, but I never imagined he would be a man of his word. Huang Yanheng endured wind and sun for a whole day and night, while Ji Xiaoxiao accompanied him under the old pine tree in a whimsical act of lofty elegance and purity, drinking the morning dew and sleeping under the lonely moon.

"You dare to eat fruit on my turf, Huang Yanheng!" When this person gets angry, regardless of right or wrong, it's all someone else's fault.

Ji Xiaoxiao set an excellent example for the general public by leading by example.

"Junior sister, you should go now. It's not good for you to stay here with your senior sister." Ji Xiaoxiao patiently persuaded Huang Yanheng to leave as soon as possible.

Undeterred by setbacks or losses, Huang Yanheng knelt and pleaded, "Senior Sister, are you agreeing to let Junior Sister enter Qingyou Cave to see what's inside?"

With a loud bang, all of Ji Xiaoxiao's patience was consumed by the fire.

"Since you can't understand human speech, then I'll take you to Master to see if you've been possessed by some demon or monster."

Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly launched an attack, and Huang Yanheng had no time to react. Ji Xiaoxiao grabbed her by the collar and ran all the way from Pingjue Peak to the Chaoyun Hall on Xianyun Peak, the main peak of Qingyun Sect.

"Ah." Ji Xiaoxiao landed firmly on her feet and casually threw the yellow smoke on the ground.

Ji Xiaoxiao had just taken over the memories of the original owner, Su Mali, and hadn't yet fully mastered her skills. She flew at lightning speed, tumbling and staggering, towards Xianyun Peak. Halfway there, just as she was about to crash and shatter to pieces, Ji Xiaoxiao twisted and turned, escaping one danger only to plunge into another, recklessly charging straight towards the towering mountain. After several close calls, Huang Yanheng was terrified, still stunned and unable to recover.

Unwittingly catching sight of the exquisitely beautiful and magnificent Chaoyun Palace, Ji Xiaoxiao became completely absorbed, as if drunk and lost in a trance, oblivious to Huang Yanheng. Fortunately, having traveled to different worlds, she had gained extensive knowledge. After a moment of disorientation, Ji Xiaoxiao regained her senses, her mind cleared, and her demeanor returned to its usual arrogant and disdainful state.

"Mary, what brings you here to Master?" A kind-looking old man appeared out of nowhere, teasing Ji Xiaoxiao with a smirk.

"Xiao Heng, what's wrong?" Yun Yi Zhenren scanned the ground with his divine sense and saw Huang Yanheng lying there, seemingly lifeless, and asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanheng turned to look at Master Yunyi, her eyes blurry with tears. She opened her mouth, but Ji Xiaoxiao spoke first, "Master, Huang Yanheng has repeatedly disturbed my secluded cultivation to break through to the Golden Core stage, and this time she almost suffered a qi deviation. I didn't hold it against her because she is your disciple. But she has become increasingly demanding, and my repeated tolerance has only made me an accomplice to evil and brought me bitter consequences. Master, Huang Yanheng is staying at Pingjue Peak and won't leave, so I really can't cultivate in peace. However, I am only Huang Yanheng's senior sister and have no right to teach her. She won't listen to me, and I can't do anything about it. I've been fighting with her for a whole day and night, and in desperation, I had no choice but to bring her to Xianyun Peak for you to teach her personally."
