"July? Qiyue from the Hengyang Sect?"
"I know her! She's a direct disciple of the Hengyang Sect, with a top-grade water spiritual root! A genius girl who broke through to the Golden Core stage at only fifteen years old!"
"Wasn't it said that this woman was plagued by inner demons and died at the hands of demonic beasts? How come she's here?"
"I've heard about it too, but... wait a minute! How come he's only at the tenth level of Qi Refining?"
"Alas, it seems the rumors are wrong. He didn't die, but his cultivation level dropped."
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Xie Ji'an and the others looked proud: As expected of Junior Sister! Although she is no longer in the martial world, the legend of Junior Sister still lives on!
Qiyue generously revealed her current cultivation level and spiritual root.
"As you can see, I am not dead, but still clinging to life. How does Fellow Daoist Xia feel about having a top-grade water spiritual root? The feeling of making rapid progress in cultivation must be quite good. Since we are talking about the past, I would also like to ask Fellow Daoist Xia if you know of any cultivation techniques or pills that can alleviate the pain of spiritual root backlash?"
"It's really unbearable for me to nurture this broken spiritual root that doesn't match my own abilities every day."
July's words were as clear as day.
Xia Wanqing was immediately alarmed and had murderous intent, but she still had some sense. Although she wished she could kill Qiyue as soon as possible, she did not immediately jump out to refute, but instead smiled generously.
"I don't know what my senior sister went through when she went down the mountain, which led to her betraying the sect and now speaking rudely to me and my senior brother. But I don't care about these things. In Wanqing's heart, my senior sister will always be my most beloved senior sister."
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will do everything in my power to find you a pill or secret technique to alleviate the backlash!"
"Truly a favored daughter of heaven, with such a broad and righteous heart!"
"It seems that although the rumors are inaccurate, they are not many. It is likely that a drop in cultivation level is no different from death, which is why the former genius is in such a state now."
"This woman has the potential to one day ascend to the throne!"
Hearing the voice beside her, Xia Wanqing smiled coldly. But a little beast dared to try to devour its master. Her mother was right. Why should she care about such a little beast?
July, oh July, you will never rise again, and I am destined to trample all of this under my feet!
Xia Wanqing's confidence was like that of a phoenix soaring in the sky as she looked at Qiyue and the people around her.
Qiyue wasn't angry; she simply looked Xia Wanqing up and down again.
[Tsk, as expected of the female lead, she's got a sharp mind. Even at a time like this, she's not forgetting to win over some casual viewers. But I'm not stupid; how could I be so foolish as to think I could bring you down from your pedestal with just a few words? My silly junior sister.]
As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. Even if many people make excuses for you today, I don't believe these self-righteous moralists will remain so calm when they get burned.
The most important thing is...
Looking at her master, who hadn't said a word, and her other senior brothers, Qiyue felt she couldn't stay any longer. So she stopped arguing and instead followed Xia Wanqing's words with a half-smile.
"In that case, I will await Fellow Daoist Xia's good news."
Seeing Qiyue's shameless appearance, Xia Wanqing, who was unaware of Qiyue's little scheme, almost lost her smile and was about to say something to salvage the situation.
A gentle voice suddenly rang out.
"Little Eight, since you became a disciple, I have never asked you what kind of gift you wanted. How about I return a top-grade spiritual root to you?"
Lou Xuanzhi gently questioned Qiyue, his voice gentle, but the killing intent in his eyes was like a bone-corroding knife, and his hand had already gripped Xia Wanqing's throat from a distance.
