A quarter of an hour later, in the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Ye Sisi and Bai Luochen sat leisurely eating spiritual fruits and snacks. The young lady and a group of guards, disheveled and covered in wounds, knelt in the center of the hall. At the head of the hall sat an imposing middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man, exuding a murderous aura, was Chen Chen, the city lord of Yunhua City. He was furious. Meng Tianyuan was known for protecting his own. Although many people looked down on the Tianling Sect, no one dared to look down on Meng Tianyuan. Why did this arrogant and brainless niece have to provoke Meng the Madman's disciple?
Suppressing his emotions, Chen Chen smiled and said, "It's my fault for not disciplining you properly, which has caused you two young friends to suffer!"
He then took out a storage bag and used his spiritual power to present it to the two of them, saying, "Inside are a thousand spirit stones and five hundred spirit fruits. Consider this my apology to you two young friends on behalf of this unfilial junior!"
The city lord's attitude was relatively mild, but his words were quite firm, meaning that once the apology was accepted, the matter would be over, and he did not intend to ask for their opinion.
Ye Sisi didn't speak, just focused on eating her snacks. Bai Luochen smiled, took the storage bag, and said, "City Lord, you're too kind. I'm fine, but this young lady has repeatedly insulted my junior sister, and tried to hurt her more than once. My junior sister is always well-behaved. Even I, her senior brother, can't bear to say a harsh word to her. Even Master dotes on her and protects her..."
After speaking, he glanced at the kneeling Miss Biao. Although he had come with the intention of swindling a few spirit stones, he was indeed angry that she had bullied his junior sister several times.
The meaning was already quite clear. Ye Sisi was almost amazed at her fifth senior brother's ability to lie through his teeth. If she hadn't been so self-controlled, she would have burst out laughing.
The city lord at the head of the table couldn't help but twitch his lips. Did he think he was a fool? Wasn't this girl just someone Bai Luochen brought back from outside two hours ago? He was acting like they had a deep relationship.
He still gave the kneeling Miss Biao a symbolic reprimand and punished her by confining her to her quarters for a month before saying, "I wonder if my young friend is satisfied with this punishment?"
Bai Luochen didn't say anything, but tossed the storage bag he had just received. This action was too obvious. The city lord wasn't stupid. He just wanted more spirit stones than he could afford. As expected, like father, like son. A disciple who is obsessed with money is also obsessed with money.
Thinking about it, he glared fiercely at his cheap niece, who was full of resentment, for always causing him trouble.
So he took out another thousand spirit stones and five hundred spirit fruits. This time, his face was expressionless. He was determined that if these two guys were greedy, he would throw them out even if it meant fighting with that sword madman.
Bai Luochen smiled and handed one of the storage bags to Ye Sisi beside him: "Junior Sister, let's each have half."
City Lord...
This scene is so irritating, can't they just go outside and divide it up?
Bai Luochen noticed that the city lord's expression had worsened, and knew that he was on the verge of losing his temper, so he quickly took out a recording stone and crushed it in front of the city lord.
Why did Bai Luochen so readily follow the guards from the City Lord's Mansion back then? Wasn't it to see that dim-witted guy again and gather evidence? But his junior sister is such a good actress; her pitiful appearance would make anyone feel sorry for her and how hateful the person opposite her is.
The brother and sister left the city lord's mansion under the city lord's displeased gaze. After walking for a while, Ye Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, Fifth Senior Brother, if you had dared to say another word just now, the city lord probably would have thrown you out!"
"Junior sister, what am I doing this for? I'm just forced by life to let such a sucker come to our door to be fleeced. I'd feel heartbroken if I didn't fleece him as much as possible!"
"But Junior Sister, you acted so well, otherwise you definitely wouldn't have achieved this effect!"
"Fifth Senior Brother, why does everyone seem so afraid of our Master?"
Bai Luochen coughed lightly: "Ahem, because our master is very strong, they can't beat them!"
Ye Sisi looked at him suspiciously: "Just because of this?"
Bai Luochen's eyes wandered for a moment, and then he said through a message: "Because the master is not only protective of his shortcomings, he is also crazy. Anyone who fights with him will not only be beaten but also compensated!"
Ye Sisi...
Ah, this...
"You're saying this is someone Master can defeat, but what if he encounters someone Master can't defeat?"
"Currently, there is no one in the entire Cangxuan Continent who can defeat our master. He is hailed as the number one sword cultivator in a thousand years!"
Ye Sisi knew that her cheap master should be quite strong, but she hadn't read the original work carefully, so she wasn't very clear about it. Now, hearing Bai Luochen say this, she couldn't help but feel proud. With such a powerful master backing her up, wouldn't she be able to walk sideways in this Cangxuan Continent?
"Fifth Senior Brother, logically speaking, since Master is so strong, our sect should also be very strong, so why are there only so many people?"
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, mainly because it wasn't mentioned in the original work!
"Because of poverty. By the time of my master's generation, he was the only one left in the Heavenly Spirit Sect. The generation of our grandmasters either went to cultivate in higher planes or passed away for various reasons. He was the only heir of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and the sect did not leave him any property. Instead, it left him a huge debt!"
Ye Sisi was stunned. She never expected there to be a sect that would cheat its disciples like this. She had truly broadened her horizons!
"So, Master not only paid off the sect's debts on his own, but also cultivated step by step to the Nascent Soul stage. You can imagine the hardships he endured. Anyone who can do all this must be a ruthless person, which is why most people don't want to mess with him!"
"Now, including you, our Heavenly Spirit Sect has seven people. This can be considered a revitalization of the sect!"
Ye Sisi...
She was speechless!
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Logically speaking, with Master's current strength, if he were to announce that he wants to take on disciples, there should be plenty of people offering money to him, so why is it that no one is coming to the Heavenly Spirit Sect?"
"Because the Heavenly Spirit Sect has high standards for accepting disciples. Master said that it's better to have none than to have bad ones. Not just any ugly or deformed person can come to our Heavenly Spirit Sect!"
Although Bai Luochen spoke with great conviction, she still felt that something was off. But it was good that there were fewer people in the sect, as there was no open and covert struggle or so many twists and turns like in a large sect.
"What are the standards for accepting disciples in our Heavenly Spirit Sect?"
Bai Luochen proudly stated, "First, we look at appearances; anyone who isn't good-looking will be rejected. Second, we absolutely won't accept anyone without some special talent!"
Ye Sisi couldn't help but think of her own eyes. Her master must have seen her Voice Spirit Eyes, but she certainly wasn't considered pretty when she was brought here. So looks were probably a secondary factor; talent was the main thing.
"Fifth Senior Brother, did you already see the unusual thing about me when you brought me back?"
