"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment."

Just as Lu Li was about to put the items into his storage ring, a woman's voice suddenly called out to stop him from behind. As she shouted, the woman rushed toward Lu Li in a hurry.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lu Li's lips twitched involuntarily.

Then, as if he hadn't heard anything, he quickly put the items into his storage ring, calmly got up, and prepared to leave the stall.

"Fellow Daoist, my junior sister just said 'Wait a minute,' didn't you hear her?"

Then, he was stopped again, by the same familiar people!

"Chirp chirp~" It was only then that Shushu saw clearly that the people blocking their way were Wen Jianxi and her lackeys.

She said the voice sounded strangely familiar, and it turned out to be someone she knew.

At this moment, even Shushu couldn't help but sigh that their fate with Wen Jianxi, this scourge, was truly damned, the kind of fate that was truly damned.

As Shushu thought this, her three-lobed lips twitched involuntarily. The next moment, she was cursed at by the other party: "What are you yelling about, you beast, huh~!"

Immediately afterward, the person who had been cursing her was sent flying, and the crowd on the street scattered in all directions, each one wanting to get as far away from the male cultivator as possible.

As Shushu watched the person fall in a parabola not far away, his three-lobed mouth gaped open. He turned to look at his senior brother and happened to see the cold glint still lingering in his eyes.

Knowing that it was her senior brother who was standing up for her, the anger she had felt from being suddenly scolded disappeared. She nestled obediently in Lu Li's arms and received a gentle pat from him.

"Ah~ Senior brother, are you alright? How could you hurt someone, you..."

Just then, Wen Jianxi and her group of lackeys seemed to realize what was happening. They shouted and ran towards the male cultivator, while also loudly condemning Lu Li.

However, when faced with Lu Li's icy eyes and the sudden, overwhelming pressure from the Golden Core stage cultivator, she couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

Seeing that he had intimidated the group, Lu Li withdrew his oppressive aura, reverted to his harmless appearance, and continued to leisurely stroll through the market with the millet and sweet potato in his arms.

They showed no intention of leaving, strolling around as if they were invisible to Wen Jianxi and her group.

Seeing this, Wen Jianxi was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but recalling the oppressive aura she had just felt, she was still shaken and her throat tasted bloody, but she dared not make any rash moves.

She only heard the senior brother, who had stood up for her but was seriously injured, groan in pain. She took a deep breath, suppressed the strange feeling in her throat, rushed over, and asked with teary eyes.

"Senior brother, how are you?"

"Junior sister, I'm sorry, it's my fault for being useless. You...you don't cry, I'm fine. If this thing is gone, I'll find you a better one next time."

The male cultivator who was tackled by her saw his beloved junior sister heartbroken because of his injury, and he wanted to beat himself to death.

It's all my fault for being incompetent and unable to protect what my junior sister wanted, which led to her having her favorite things taken away.

Overwhelmed with guilt, the male cultivator even made a promise to find someone better for Wen Jianxi.

"Okay, thank you, senior brother. I knew you cared about me the most."

Unfortunately, these words did not comfort Wen Jianxi; instead, they reminded her of the feeling of losing her treasure again, and her throat instantly felt sweet again.

This feeling was only slightly worse than when she lost the Treasure-Seeking Rat. Thinking of this, Wen Jianxi almost lost her temper.

Only when she remembered that they were outside did she barely suppress the urge to explode. She looked at the male cultivator with teary eyes, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice in the world, yet had no choice but to be strong.

"Junior sister, don't worry, we will definitely find something better for you."

"Yes, yes, we're going to Xianglai Forest next, we're sure to find some good stuff there, I'll give it all to you then."

Her appearance not only frightened the injured male cultivator, but also made the other followers feel sorry for her, and they all comforted her.

Everyone remained silent about what Wen Jianxi had wanted from Lu Li, let alone tried to take it from him.

"Okay, thank you, senior brothers and sisters. I knew you loved me the most. When I get back to the sect, I will definitely brag to my father that I have the best senior brothers and sisters in the world who love me the most."

Wen Jianxi could easily tell that everyone was avoiding the situation and that they were afraid of the person who had just spoken.

But she also knew that all of them combined might not be a match for the other party, so she might as well pretend not to know and let the matter drop, which would also win her some goodwill.

But when her senior classmates told her to let her choose the good stuff first, she didn't refuse and agreed immediately, which was what they should do.

Of course, saying that she would tell her sect leader father about how good everyone had been to her when she got back was just a way to win people's hearts.

Since they were all her father's personal disciples and nominal students, with her, his biological daughter, speaking well of them, they were sure to reap considerable benefits.

As for whether she'll tell him when she gets back, that depends entirely on her mood. They can't exactly chase after her and ask if she told him, can they?

"Junior sister, you are our junior sister, if we don't love you, who will we love?"

Sure enough, her words made everyone smile with satisfaction, and at the same time, they received another wave of assurances.

"Senior brother, how is your injury? I have a healing pill that my father gave me. Take it, and your injury will heal faster."

Finally, Wen Jianxi caught a glimpse of Lu Li still buying things in the distance, and then remembered that there was an injured senior brother. She quickly spoke while making a gesture to take out pills from her storage space.

"Junior Sister, you don't need your pills. I have some here. Keep yours for self-defense."

This resentful senior brother was originally upset because his junior sister's attention was diverted by others and she didn't notice him.

Seeing that his junior sister was actually offering to give him pills, he felt that she still cared about him, and he was instantly happy, but he still remembered to decline.

After all, they hadn't completed the sect missions they received when they came out, and they would be staying outside for a long time. They couldn't waste their junior sister's good pills, as they were meant to be saved to save her life.

Thinking this, the male cultivator did not forget to struggle and take out his pill bottle from his storage bag.

After carefully pouring one pill into her mouth, she quickly put the rest away, as if worried that someone would snatch it away at any moment.

He felt the pain in his body subside considerably and he was able to move again. Only then did he get up with the help of his two junior brothers and leave the market together.

Completely unaware that after taking one pill, he was only less than 30% better.
