Even if the servants present had never seen the real Flowing Light Sword, they had all heard stories about what it looked like when it was drawn from its sheath.
Everyone was stunned by the dazzling lights!
"I'll ask you one more time: pay up or die!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Qingsong Peak trembled as they took out spirit stones, while Xiao Feng immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.
And you?
"Pay up or die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a female disciple from Shuiyun Peak stepped forward and, gritting her teeth, spoke to Xiao Feng forcefully.
"You Qingfeng guys are too domineering!"
For a moment, Xiao Feng felt like he had misheard. They cut down our bamboo and called us domineering.
What's the logic behind this?
If it weren't for the fact that it was a female disciple in front of him, Xiao Feng would have already taught her a lesson.
"Stop talking nonsense, just hand over the spirit stones, it doesn't matter what you think!"
The female disciple gritted her teeth.
"The bamboo on Qingfeng has always been free. Now that your master is not here, can this rule be changed?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned involuntarily. After all, in principle, the person in front of him had no right to know that Yan Yun was not in the sect.
Even if she is a female disciple, she is still a menial disciple, and she has no right to know anything about the peak master.
"The rules on the peak are something my junior brother and I can decide!"
Zhao Yuwei stood up angrily. In the past, she would have been too embarrassed to do so, but after hearing that the servant disciples not only showed no gratitude but also took it for granted, no one could stand it.
A small favor is appreciated, but an excessive one breeds resentment!
The few handymen disciples in front of me have put this matter into practice to the fullest extent.
Xiao Feng snorted coldly.
"Just pay up!"
Unexpectedly, the female disciple from Shuiyun Peak not only showed no sign of backing down, but also spoke up confidently.
"Then I'll just tell you straight: Shuiyun Peak simply won't give it to us! I, Sun Xiaoxiao, have never been afraid of anyone!"
These words completely stunned Xiao Feng. How could a menial disciple have such a big temper?
Have I never been afraid of anyone?
Xiao Feng unleashed a sword aura, and the next second, the bamboo behind the female disciple fell down in swathes, and a strand of her black hair fell to the ground.
Sun Xiaoxiao touched her hair in shock and pointed at Xiao Feng's nose.
"You have some nerve!"
Sun Xiaoxiao has always been arrogant, but she has no talent for cultivation at all, and is not even qualified to be a menial disciple.
If it weren't for that alluring method, they probably wouldn't have been able to stay at all.
Xiao Feng was unaware of all this.
"Courage? You're the one with real courage!"
After saying that, Xiao Feng's aura suddenly intensified. Sun Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone, so she drew her weapon from her waist. Xiao Feng, baring his teeth, charged forward.
It came right to my door!
Then you won't be polite!
Xiao Feng kicked her, sending Sun Xiaoxiao flying backward and crashing heavily into a tree. The other disciples, seeing this, pointed at Xiao Feng and started cursing.
"How can you even be a man if you lay a hand on a woman?!"
"I can't believe that a true disciple would actually kill a lowly servant! You've gone too far!"
Listening to the accusations from the servants around him, Xiao Feng found it all laughable. They didn't care at all why he had taken action, nor what he was trying to protect.
They only care about one thing!
The woman was injured!
Before Xiao Feng could even speak, Zhao Yuwei unleashed her powerful Golden Core stage spiritual pressure, silencing the servant disciples in the next second.
A cold voice rang out.
"Anyone who dares to defy us will die!"
Within a sect, disciples are forbidden from harming each other, but this does not include these menial disciples. After all, they are just a group of guys who do odd jobs in the sect, no different from ordinary people.
Even if one or two people were lucky enough to cultivate some spiritual energy thanks to the outstanding people and the beautiful land, in the eyes of those important figures, they would be nothing more than trash.
Who would offend a sect's genius for the sake of a good-for-nothing?
Zhao Yuwei was clearly one of these geniuses. The other disciples realized their audacity and shrank back, their faces turning ugly.
"Senior sister, please stop using your supernatural powers!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yuwei withdrew her spiritual pressure, glanced coldly at the people in front of her, and continued to speak.
"From now on, you'll have to pay to cut bamboo, understand?"
The disciples nodded, their bodies trembling, and Zhao Yuwei did the same without any hesitation.
"I'll give you a discount this time. Hand over all the spirit stones you have!"
Zhao Yuwei understood that these menial disciples were very poor. The sect only gave them a low-grade spirit stone as a salary each month, so they naturally couldn't afford much.
But that's no reason to pity them!
The disciples dared not act rashly, and even the spirit stones that had been growing for many years were obediently handed over.
After finishing these matters, Zhao Yuwei nodded in satisfaction.
"Now you can get out!"
Upon hearing this, no one dared to linger, and they even abandoned their bamboo shoots, fleeing in disgrace.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but tease Zhao Yuwei, who had a mature and sophisticated air about her.
"Senior Sister, now that's what you call Senior Sister!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuwei blushed for a moment, then reverted to her previous demure, girlish demeanor.
"Junior brother, what are you saying?"
Xiao Feng had no intention of continuing to flirt with her; instead, he became somewhat curious about the female disciple from before.
"Senior sister, did that servant disciple just go too far? How dare she!"
Zhao Yuwei sighed and recounted the story in detail.
"Actually, Sun Xiaoxiao's identity is not ordinary. She used to be the maid of Ji Hong, a true disciple of Wushang Peak. Ever since Ji Hong was found to have a top-grade earth spirit root, he has been favored by the peak master of Wushang Peak!"
"It's just a pity that Ji Hong is such a lovesick fool. He can't live without Sun Xiaoxiao. He even said that if Sun Xiaoxiao isn't placed in the Spirit Sword Sect, he'll cut off his own path to immortality!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but gasp. To dare to say something that could offend the sect for the sake of a menial disciple—that was truly audacious.
"If that's the case, then he's really quite devoted!"
"Having no other choice, Peak Master Shen begged Shuiyun Peak to let her become a menial disciple. However, because of Ji Hong's background, no one treated her as a menial disciple. Over time, she became very arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss. After all, logically speaking, a clear-headed cultivator would never let personal feelings jeopardize their future.
Moreover, his Daoist partner was just an ordinary person.
Could it be that Ji Hong is really a lovesick fool?
