Hua Yiren is the eldest disciple of Shui Lingjun, and she excels in everything. However, Shui Lingjun favors his useless junior sister Lin Man. Hua Yiren usually practices with other junior brothers and sisters, while Lin Man can often practice with Shui Lingjun.
Humph, that loser is still a loser no matter how much he practices. How can he catch up to even one ten-thousandth of her?
Seeing that Lin Man was not doing his job and brought back a black cat, Hua Yiren picked up the cat belonging to the senior sister and scolded her, "Where did this dirty thing come from? Throw it away!"
After hearing this, Mimi shrank into Su Man's arms.
However, the other spirit within him, Youming, was furious. "Dirty thing? You actually called me a dirty thing? I'll kill you first when I regain my true form!"
Hua Yiren didn't know that she was already on the Demon Lord's assassination list, and she was still chattering, "This kind of dirty thing can't enter the door of my Five Elements Mountain, throw it away quickly."
Su Man smiled sweetly. "I don't know if there's any rule in the Five Elements Spiritual Sect that prohibits pets from entering, or is it...a new rule made by Senior Sister?"
This was a satire on Hua Yiren's overstepping her bounds. To Hua Yiren, who had already considered herself the next head, Su Man's words were extremely irritating. She sternly said, "You've wasted your time on pleasure and neglected your duties, yet you still dare to quibble. Go to the back mountain and reflect on your mistakes!"
Su Man did not move. "Senior sister said that I was obsessed with toys, but I just brought it home and haven't had time to play with it yet. I don't admit this false accusation."
"you!"
Shui Lingjun often goes into seclusion, and all the major and minor matters of the Five Elements Spiritual Sect are managed by Hua Yiren. Seeing Lin Man offending her like this, Hua Yiren's face was full of annoyance.
Seeing his beloved angry, Song Zimo also frowned and lectured Su Man, "Lin Man, Senior Sister is your elder. It is inappropriate for you to talk to her like that."
"If I remember correctly, you joined later than me, right?"
Su Man smiled and said, "I am your elder too. It is not right for you to talk to me like that."
“…”
Song Zimo was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Man to speak to him like this.
In his impression, no matter what he said or did, Lin Man always agreed with him. Even when he was practicing, she would cheer him on.
You actually contradicted him in public today?
Seeing that Song Zimo was completely defeated, Su Man turned her gaze to Hua Yiren, "Senior Sister, I remember that our Five Elements Spiritual Sect has a rule that says we can't stand by and watch someone die. I saved this kitten from falling into the water, and instead of praising me, why are you lecturing me?"
Hua Yiren retorted, "It's just a cat, why bother saving it?"
"Senior sister, what you said is not right. Master often tells us that all beings are equal. Every flower, grass and tree is a living being. We in the Five Elements Spiritual Sect practice the five elements. We want to comprehend the mystery of life in nature. How can you treat living beings differently based on their size?" Su Man said confidently.
"Shut up!" Just as Hua Yiren was about to forcibly send Su Man to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors, applause suddenly broke out from the stone steps.
"Pah pah pah."
Su Man looked up, and her mind was filled with only eight words: ethereal and naturally Taoist.
His appearance can no longer be defined by beauty or ugliness, as if looking at him any longer is a sin.
"Master."
Everyone bowed in greeting.
When Song Zimo lowered his head, his eyes were filled with hatred, but when he raised his head, it disappeared.
Shui Lingjun "floated" down from the stone steps. He looked at Su Man with approval in his eyes, "Man'er has made great progress."
Su Man knew that her big brother was coming, so she quickly stood behind Shui Lingjun and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Seeing Shui Lingjun helping Su Man again, Hua Yiren's face turned cold. "Master, my junior sister is obsessed with pleasure and has no respect for her elders. Are you still going to protect her?"
Shui Lingjun turned his gaze to Hua Yiren, "Do you think there was anything inappropriate in what Man'er just said?"
Hua Yiren glanced at Su Man standing behind Shui Lingjun and said hatefully, "A cat, what kind of living creature is it."
Shui Lingjun gently shook his head, his eyes full of pity, "Yiren, you still don't understand, so your cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Go back and copy the secret method, and give it to me tomorrow."
"Master! But Lin Man..."
"Yiren."
Shui Lingjun called Hua Yiren's name. Although it was not harsh, it also carried a hint of warning.
Hua Yiren's eyes were filled with resentment. It was clear that her master was partial to Lin Man, and he was even confusing right and wrong. However, she couldn't argue with Shui Lingjun, so she could only lower her head and say, "Yes, Master, I will take my leave first."
Song Zimo glanced at the direction Hua Yiren left and bowed his head, saying, "Then I will take my leave."
"Go." Shui Lingjun said in a gentle voice.
After they all left, Shui Lingjun turned his gaze to Su Man, "Man'er, you are naughty again."
Although it was an accusation, the tone was doting, "Yiren is your senior sister, how can you talk to her like this."
Su Man knew that she should admit her mistake in front of her elders. She lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."
Seeing that the usually eccentric Lin Man didn't argue but admitted her fault so easily, Shui Lingjun's eyes flashed with surprise. He sighed, "Forget it, I'll apologize to your senior sister tomorrow."
Seeing that Shui Lingjun let her go so easily, Su Man felt relieved, but she couldn't help but think about how much Lin Man must have hated her when her master, who loved her so much, was killed in one day...
Just as she was slightly lost in thought, Shui Lingjun put his hand on her head and asked, "Unhappy?"
Before Su Man could speak, Shui Lingjun said quietly, "It's okay if you don't apologize."
Su Man:...There is a reason why Hua Yiren hates her so much.
