"How could you, a little girl, utter such lewd words? You're so young and already so shameless! You'll be no good when you grow up!"
Ye Sisi...
What did she say?! She was just stating a fact!
She was furious at what utter nonsense that person was spouting!
Not only was she angry, but Bai Luochen and Ye Shubai were also angry, so the two of them grabbed their swords and charged into the crowd.
The first one to be targeted was the one with the foul mouth. Even though she was a female cultivator, Ye Shubai showed no mercy when he attacked her, and even deliberately hit her sore spots so as not to kill her but to make her feel extreme pain.
The battlefield instantly descended into chaos. Ye Sisi hadn't expected her two senior brothers to react so strongly, but it was clear they had been tricked. So she drew her sword and charged in as well.
While hitting her, he pondered that since they did not have sect attire, ordinary people would not be able to recognize them as members of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Only a few people from the Azure Blue Sect, the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Blue Flower Heavenly Palace knew their identities. The rest, not to mention rogue cultivators, even the cultivators of the Lotus Flower Sect, which was ranked second only to the Azure Cloud Sect, did not recognize them.
These people immediately claimed to be from the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and no one would believe that no one was plotting against them.
Thinking of this, Ye Sisi narrowed her eyes and scanned the chaotic battlefield. Sure enough, none of the people who came were from major sects or families; they were all minor sect cultivators or rogue cultivators.
A cold smile tugged at the corner of her lips. These people were really stupid.
Ye Sisi was speechless. The battlefield soon returned to calm. Even with Ye Shubai, a Golden Core cultivator, there was no doubt that they could handle this group, even if it was just her and Bai Luochen.
"Tell me, who told you the treasure was in our hands, and who revealed our identities?" Bai Luochen casually patted a male cultivator's neck with his longsword, his tone somewhat nonchalant.
Ye Sisi wasn't the only one who realized she'd been tricked; even the usually carefree Bai Luochen sensed something was amiss.
The male cultivator, being stared at by the three fellow disciples, shrank back in fear, terrified that the sword might accidentally flip over and decapitate him. However, his bruised and swollen face was full of defiance, clearly indicating that he did not want to answer Bai Luochen's question. Ye Sisi was worried about this man's intelligence; what kind of situation was this, still playing this game?
Just then, Ye Shubai pulled out a small green worm from somewhere, grabbed the male cultivator's chin with one hand, and flicked it gently with the other, sending the worm flying into the male cultivator's mouth.
The male cultivator stared wide-eyed in horror, stammering, "What...what did you give me to eat?"
Ye Shubai gave an innocent smile and explained, "It's nothing, just a bone-deep wound!"
The man's face turned pale, then white, then pale again, and then he knelt down before Ye Shubai, crying and begging for mercy: "Senior, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Ye Shubai's smile was still as harmless as ever, and the light in his eyes was still as warm as ever. But everyone else who saw this smile couldn't help but shiver. Was this still the same boy who blushed whenever he spoke to a female cultivator? How terrifying!
"My fifth junior brother is asking you a question. Answer it well and I'll dismember your bones!"
"No one explicitly said the treasure is in your hands!"
Bai Luochen kicked him and sneered, "Still playing riddles here even now, Fourth Senior Brother, let's ask someone else! We might as well just kill someone as dishonest as him!"
The male cultivator turned pale with fright and immediately said, "I...I wasn't speaking in riddles! As for why everyone came to find you, it's the result of your screening!"
Seeing that the person was almost frightened, Ye Sisi smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Tell me the details!"
The male cultivator breathed a sigh of relief; the young girl was much easier to talk to.
"We were in a chaotic fight as soon as we woke up. After all, anyone would be disgusted by that situation. But then someone said that the yard was gone and the treasure had been taken away!"
"We then came to our senses, and after checking, we found that everyone except those of you who broke the formation earlier was still there. That's when some people guessed that the treasure was on you!"
Ye Sisi continued, "Who told you we were from the Heavenly Spirit Sect!"
The man thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "It must have been your younger sister who said it unintentionally!"
Ye Sisi narrowed her eyes. What was this female lead doing now? She hadn't even thought of taking the initiative to deal with her, but she kept causing trouble again and again. Did she really think she was made of clay?
Before the male cultivator spoke, she had suspected Ning Fan, after all, they had just had a conflict two days ago, causing them to lose face. But she didn't expect it to be the female lead.
Thinking of this, Ye Sisi gave a cool smile and said, "Think carefully before you speak. If you wrong my sister, I won't let you off the hook!"
The male cultivator shuddered, then tried his best to recount what had happened.
Rewinding to two hours earlier, when everyone realized that only Ye Sisi and her two fellow disciples were missing, doubts arose in the crowd, with everyone believing that they must have stolen the treasure and run away.
"Who knows who those people are? We have to get an explanation!"
"Exactly! They've gone too far! We all entered the secret realm together, how can they keep all the treasures for themselves!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? My sister is a direct disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Would they keep the treasure for themselves? Stop making baseless accusations!"
