As soon as she finished speaking, a man dressed in a flowing blue robe...
A woman, standing on an ancient longsword, was flying towards her on her sword.
Behind her followed a group of disciples dressed in the same robes.
The scene really did resemble that of a noble lady leading her entourage on a stroll.
As soon as everyone landed, they bowed to the headmaster in a gesture of respect.
"Disciple Yao Lexiang, along with a group of junior sisters and brothers, greets the Headmaster."
The headmaster warmly helped her up, his attitude mirroring when he first met Feng Zhaolin.
It's a world of difference
"Get up quickly, what did you gain from this trip?"
"Your disciple has lived up to the master's expectations, bringing along two exceptionally talented individuals..."
The two chatted happily, while Feng Zhaolin, who was being held back several meters by Wu Hua, looked completely dejected.
Qin Luo gave Wu Hua a wink, and the two of them slowly retreated to her side.
Wu Hua raised her hand and released her from the restraints, then teased her as she looked at her complicated expression.
"What? Are you jealous?"
Feng Zhaolin stubbornly refused to admit it.
"No, my senior sister is better than me in every way, so it's only natural that the headmaster likes her..."
Qin Luo immediately knew that her confidence had probably been shattered by Yao Lexiang.
He then patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"How can you belittle yourself for no reason? I didn't know before, but this time you think we're a bit better than her? We're much stronger than those two weaklings."
Wu Hua echoed the sentiment.
"Exactly, those two look so weak, I could slap them one slap each and kill them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zhaolin looked at the two people Yao Lexiang had brought back.
The two men looked exhausted, and their eyes revealed their reluctance.
His spiritual energy was unstable and unpredictable; it looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
So she subconsciously murmured aloud.
"Something's not right. These two don't seem to have any spiritual roots."
Qin Luo listened without taking it seriously.
"So what? Neither I nor Zai Zai have spiritual roots either, but how did you figure that out?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhaolin was initially filled with surprise.
She truly hadn't expected that the two people she'd tricked into coming back wouldn't have any spiritual roots either.
The key point is that I didn't notice it at all, and then I calmed myself down.
Only then did I speak to explain to her
"Look at their bodies, brimming with spiritual energy, yet it's constantly raging and dissipating. This is the result of forcibly infusing them with spiritual power when they have no spiritual roots, and doing so will kill them..."
After she finished speaking, Qin Luo and Wu Hua looked over.
The headmaster was observing the two women and giving each of them a pill.
It was said that this medicine could stabilize the foundation, and the two were instructed to take it immediately.
After the two took the pills, their complexions immediately improved.
The so-called spiritual energy around him gradually began to dissipate at a steady rate.
Qin Luo guessed that the headmaster must have sensed something was wrong, which was why he used this pill to save their lives.
As for why she didn't expose it, she must have some unspeakable reason.
She understood, but Feng Zhaolin did not.
She was filled with confusion and wanted to rush over to question him, but Wu Hua grabbed her leg and pulled her close.
Qin Luo also covered her mouth; the two of them were so strong.
No matter how much she struggled, it was to no avail. Before anyone could look over...
He lowered his voice in her ear
"If you don't want to get your headmaster killed, shut up first."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhaolin immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Qin Luo with a puzzled expression.
Qin Luo saw her stubborn, unconvinced look, as if she hadn't given up until she got an answer.
He then told her his guess.
"If you can see it, your headmaster can naturally see it too. Why do you think she doesn't expose it?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhaolin felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Was the headmaster coerced?"
Qin Luo held her head and turned it around.
"Keep your voice down. Do you really want to kill her? I don't know if she was coerced, but there must be something going on."
Wu Hua also loosened her calf and took the jade token that the headmaster had given her.
It was handed to Qin Luo.
"She asked me to meet her here at 10 PM. If we come together then, things will be clear up."
Feng Zhaolin glanced at the jade plaque that belonged exclusively to the headmaster, his mind in utter turmoil.
Even when Lian Yao and Le Xiang led their men to his side, he didn't notice.
Upon seeing the person approaching, Qin Luo immediately put away the jade pendant and nudged Feng Zhaolin with her elbow.
Feng Zhaolin then came to his senses and politely bowed to Yao Lexiang.
"I hope you are well, Senior Sister."
Yao Lexiang looked at her with disdain, her eyes scanning her, Qin Luo, and Wu Hua up and down.
"Junior sister is quite capable, bringing back new disciples before me. However, there's not a trace of spiritual energy emanating from either of them. Are they just two good-for-nothings?"
Before Feng Zhaolin could react to these words...
Qin Luo jumped out and started to retort in a sarcastic tone.
"Even the trash came here willingly. Fellow Daoist Feng Zhao never forced us, unlike some people with wicked hearts who forcibly seize and plunder, and are utterly devoid of conscience."
Yao Lexiang's face turned pale and then red from her words, but she hesitated because the headmaster and other disciples were present.
She couldn't resort to violence, so she could only retaliate verbally.
"You have no spiritual power at all, but you have a sharp tongue. If you could guard a mountain gate in the future, even if all the major sects joined forces to invade, you could still scold them back with your mouth."
The group of people behind her burst into laughter, mocking Qin Luo.
"Yes, from now on, she alone will be enough to guard the gate of our academy, which will save us a lot of spirit stones!"
“Hey, you can’t say that. Our academy is not short of a few coins. We certainly won’t let her suffer any loss.”
"Of course, if you guard it well, your senior sisters and brothers will definitely reward you when they come and go."
