Lu Gui's words were met with nods of agreement from everyone present, and Mei Shi, who was watching the players' performance in the game from outside the game, couldn't help but nod as well.
"Indeed, every family has its share of troubles."
After saying that, Mingmei glanced at her "stinky little brothers" out of the corner of her eye, and Yan Hui and Ruan Xun gave her a completely professional fake smile.
What else can I say?
What could they possibly say?
"So, what does that bug want to do?" Ming Yi had stopped paying attention to the players' performance. Compared to Mei Shi and the others who were focused on the players who had been in contact with their daughter, Ming Yi was more interested in the performance of some players who had been marginalized since entering the game.
Compared to these players who dressed up as disciples of prestigious sects, players from smaller sects lived a very comfortable life. Some had nothing to do, spending their days cultivating immortality and chatting about trivial gossip with their sect members. Others would suddenly disappear overnight.
They die even faster than the Hundred Herbs Sect, without giving anyone a chance to react.
However, due to its remote location and the fact that the sect was not affiliated with a prestigious sect like Bibo Yaoshan, the news of its annihilation did not cause much of a stir.
There is another type of player who transmigrates into a demonic cultivator. Compared to righteous cultivators, their daily lives are not so peaceful, and deaths are commonplace in their eyes.
The law of the jungle is so vividly displayed that if a player suddenly dies, no one will notice anything wrong.
It doesn't seem like a big deal that a few players died.
When Lou Jia, who was serving as a protector of the Hehuan Palace, was found by Qing Mian again, and was asked about the recent decrease in the number of disciples under his tutelage, Lou Jia realized the seriousness of the matter.
"I haven't settled the score with you yet for letting a friend you know sneak into our Hehuan Palace group to go to the far north, and then almost getting us implicated because of that person's mistake. But how are you going to explain this now?"
Lou Jia didn't consider himself a spineless person, but the murderous intent hidden in Qing Mian's deep, tingling voice still made his legs go weak.
He gasped in shock when he saw that many of the life tablets of the Hehuan Palace disciples were broken.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, this subordinate was unaware of this. In recent days, my disciples have frequently taken on missions and been active in various places, and the disciple guarding the life lamps has not reported it..."
"Because the disciple who was guarding the palace lanterns also died."
"What?"
Now it was Lou Jia's turn to be dumbfounded.
The one who was guarding these life lamps was none other than his classmate.
No wonder he hadn't seen the other person these past few days.
Because demonic cultivators have more freedom than righteous cultivators, they often appear and disappear unpredictably, which everyone is used to. So much so that even if they hadn't seen each other for several days, and Lou Jia himself was always on the go, they didn't realize that something like this had happened.
"It was my fault!" Lou Jia didn't care anymore and knelt down to admit his mistake. Qing Mian's unpredictable nature wasn't exactly good. Although he didn't have the habit of indiscriminately killing innocent people, he still had the ability to cripple people at will.
"Since you've already said you went too far, why don't we take a closer look together... what mistakes did you make?"
Qingmian crouched down to look at Loujia, smiling slyly as if mocking him—"You walked right into this trap!"
Lou Jia: "..."
What kind of nonsense is this?!
The matter of the evil female disciple of Bibo Yaoshan colluding with the monks of Lianhua Temple to indiscriminately kill innocent people was eventually suppressed. However, the Wanjianmen people, who were the biggest victims in this story, were the first to leave. Although it was unknown how much compensation Yuehua had given them, Mingmei privately guessed that it was quite good, judging from their not-so-solemn faces when they left.
As for Mingmei and her group, they were the second group to be allowed to pass. Among them were the people from Tianyi Pavilion who came to deliver clothing materials, including Lu Gui, who also went down the mountain after being given a "gag order".
As for why Bibo Yaoshan and Lianhua Temple were still entangled on the mountain for so long, Mingmei soon heard Mei Jiu share first-hand gossip information from Luo Yao with her.
Both sides are discussing how to release this information in a way that saves face for themselves.
Immediately afterward, during the negotiations, both sides realized one thing—you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Therefore, Bibo Yaoshan insisted that the deceased Qilan was a love-struck person who would do anything for the person she liked.
The subtext is—"You monks from Lianhua Temple are incredibly wicked! You're taking advantage of girls' feelings."
The representatives of Lianhua Temple insisted that their disciples were simply infatuated with the temple and were capable of anything because of their deep emotional attachments.
The subtext is: "Our disciple is very innocent; he was just seduced by you bunch of bad women."
As expected, the two sides discussed for a long time but failed to reach an agreement.
At least when this news came back, the two sides had not yet reached an agreement on this matter.
If you've both gotten together, is it really that hard to take the blame for your partner?!
Upon hearing this, Mingmei's lips twitched uncontrollably; the shattered illusion in her heart was beyond repair.
These ethereal and otherworldly cultivators—they're truly unparalleled!
Upon receiving this news, Mingmei, along with Meijiu, went to Lu Xiaoyao's residence as if they were "delivering a story."
She planned to try and get more information out of Lu Xiaoyao.
Is her information less reliable than hers?
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Spirit Food Hall, the two saw a large group of Jingyun Mountain disciples gathered there.
Immediately following was the sound of a gavel striking from inside the room. Before Ming could observe closely, Lu Xiaoyao's familiar yet shrill voice came from inside the room.
"In the blink of an eye, my friends in Linjing City and I were forced to fight back after being attacked by that evil spirit! My friends! You have no idea how terrifying that evil spirit has mutated—it has eight legs and is over ten zhang long!"
Mingmei was a little confused; why did this description sound so familiar?
"Who would have thought!"
Lu Xiaoyao's voice suddenly rose, startling everyone standing outside the door, including Mingmei and Meijiu. Then they heard Lu Xiaoyao shout, "Who would have thought there was another evil cultivator standing there! Good heavens! To hide his true identity, guess what that evil cultivator did?!"
"What's wrong?"
There were indeed people present who showed their support.
"That evil cultivator transformed into someone else's face and committed countless atrocities! When I saw that he was a disciple of the Butian Sect, my heart pounded with fear! How could a righteous disciple become an evil cultivator?! If the person in question hadn't been out giving fortune telling at the time, this matter would have been impossible to clear up even if he jumped into the Yellow River!"
Lu Xiaoyao became more and more excited as she spoke, and the louder her voice became, the clearer Mingmei could hear her—Lu Xiaoyao was bragging again!
Isn't this just taking what happened to her in the Realm of the Primal Demon that night and putting it on her?
"Sis, don't you remember her back then... um!"
Mei Jiu was never one to back down from a challenge. Luckily, Ming Mei covered it up in time. Otherwise, with so many people present, Lu Xiaoyao's reputation for this outrageous move would have resounded throughout Jingyun Mountain in less than two days.
Let's give her some face.
