Chapter 84: Punished by Heaven?
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck her, and she froze for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground, vomiting blood.
"Ruoqian!"
"Qian'er!"
At this moment, Bai Qingyi and Fu Zhenghan were extremely anxious. They immediately jumped to her side and summoned their magical artifacts to jointly resist the heavenly lightning that struck down again.
After the two flashes of lightning, the rolling thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, and the bright sunshine returned to the sky, as if nothing had happened.
Fu Zhenghan removed the defensive magic item and looked at Bai Ruoqian on the ground with a face full of heartache. "Qian'er, are you alright?"
Bai Ruoqian coughed lightly, her face pale, "Master... I'm in so much pain..." The people from the Tianfeng Sect all gathered around, and seeing the messy scene, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Everyone had clearly seen the strange phenomenon that had just occurred, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss it.
"What's going on?"
"Haven't you heard? That's a blessing from Heaven! The talisman in Ye Luo's hand has become a divine-grade talisman!"
"But look at Bai Ruoqian's appearance... can that really be a blessing from heaven?"
"Uh...maybe it failed."
"It is said that heavenly lightning is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, but to me... it looks more like divine punishment."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. How could Fairy Bai be punished by the heavens?"
...
Listening to everyone's words, Ye Luo couldn't help but wonder: what just happened really did seem like divine punishment.
Shouldn't the female lead be Heaven's favorite daughter?
This is almost always the setup in cultivation novels.
Looking at her miserable appearance, she didn't seem like a favorite of Heaven at all; on the contrary, he seemed like the one who was favored by Heaven.
Ye Luo stroked the talisman in her hand, looked at the match that had been suspended due to the heavenly lightning, and whispered to Ming Cang, "I guess I'm in first place?"
"You little rascal, why did you make such a commotion?"
Ye Luo looked completely innocent. "How can you blame me?"
He was also startled, thinking he had to go back to the interstellar world!
"Tsk, let's go see the mess you've made."
After Ming Cang finished speaking, he walked towards the Tianfeng Sect. Ye Luo seemed to have no choice but to follow behind him.
"Sect Leader Fu, how is she?" Ming Cang asked politely.
Su Yuyuan glared at them, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "How dare you show your face here!"
"Yes, it's all his fault that Junior Sister Ruoqian is in this state!"
"Did I cause trouble?" Ye Luo chuckled, glanced at the sky, and pointed at the disciples who had been competing on the stage. "Heavenly lightning is not something I can control, so why was it only struck on her?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Tianfeng Sect were stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Ye Luo looked at Bai Ruoqian on the ground with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Do you know why?"
Bai Ruoqian's eyes were half-open, filled with hatred, and she began to sob, "Master... Senior Brother... I'm in so much pain, Ye Luo must have used some underhanded trick to hurt me..."
Ye Luo: "Hey, you need evidence to make a statement. You're just making baseless accusations."
Cen Feng said with dissatisfaction, "That's right, don't even think about framing our junior brother. Everyone's eyes are sharp. Maybe it's just the Heavenly Dao wanting to punish you!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Yuyuan retorted angrily.
Bai Ruoqian had overheard many people's discussions and knew that continuing to argue with them would only bring her no advantage, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to faint.
"Junior Sister!"
"Qian'er!"
Fu Zhenghan glared angrily at Ye Luo, "If I find evidence that you harmed her, I will definitely not let you off easily!"
"Hehe, not that day." Ye Luo shrugged, indicating that he was fearless.
Surrounded by the Tianfeng Sect, Bai Ruoqian was carried away by Fu Zhenghan, leaving the crowd looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Luo looked at Bai Qingyi beside her, noticing that she was staring blankly in the direction Bai Ruoqian had left, and asked, "Uh... how should the competition be calculated now?"
After being swept away by the heavenly lightning, the competition venue was almost completely destroyed, and the talismans drawn by Bai Ruoqian were turned to ashes. It is estimated that the remaining disciples will no longer be able to continue the competition.
Bai Qingyi's beautiful face showed anger as she said, "I'll consider you first, and the others are tied for second place!"
After saying that, she stretched out her jade hand to Ye Luo. Although Ye Luo was a little reluctant, she had no choice but to hand over the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in her hand.
All materials used in the competition are provided by the alliance. Whether it's the crafted magical artifacts or talismans, they all belong to the alliance.
"A divine-grade talisman! This is the first time I've ever seen one like this!"
"That's right, even if you spend millions of spirit stones at the auction house, you might not be able to buy it!"
"Oh dear, that's a huge loss!"
Upon hearing everyone's words, Ming Cang clutched his chest, nearly vomiting blood. The people from Peach Blossom Valley exchanged bewildered glances.
Cen Feng, oblivious to the danger, comforted him, "Master, we can just have Junior Brother draw a few more when we get back."
"You know nothing! Heaven's blessings don't come every time!"
Mu Tai was overjoyed, patting Ming Cang on the shoulder and laughing loudly, "Just consider it a contribution to the alliance. If it comes in handy in the future, I'll credit Peach Blossom Valley for this!"
"Pah, you old fool, you really know how to take advantage!"
Due to the damage to the venue, the original formation competition had to be temporarily moved to a different location and postponed for an hour.
Instead of returning to the inn, the group from Peach Blossom Valley found a teahouse and sat down. The commotion caused by the Heavenly Blessing today was quite significant, and it had already spread like wildfire throughout Tiankun City.
"Peach Blossom Valley" and "Night Lake" naturally became the focus of everyone's discussion, and they couldn't help but speculate about his true identity.
Because people couldn't believe that such a prodigy would stay in an insignificant sect, some even began to speculate that Peach Blossom Valley was actually a hidden great sect.
All sorts of rumors spread like wildfire, leaving the Peach Blossom Valley members in the teahouse astonished. Nan Muyin put down her teacup and chuckled, "Thanks to Junior Brother, our Peach Blossom Valley has become quite famous."
"Haha, you're really something! You even received a blessing from Heaven." Yu Qianling patted his shoulder, looking pleased. "It seems your talisman skills will definitely surpass your senior sister's in the future!"
Ye Luo was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratched her head and laughed, "It's probably just good luck."
"If we're lucky, then it's our Peach Blossom Valley's luck," Ming Cang said with a smile as he drank his tea.
Before long, the waiter brought out all sorts of desserts. Ming Cang pushed them in front of Ye Luo, saying, "These are all your favorites. After you finish eating, close your eyes and rest for a while. There's a formation competition later."
"Um!"
