As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Yaoyao instantly became angry and embarrassed. Her originally pretty face was now distorted by anger, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Since ancient times, those who are capable have received more. Since your family is rich, what's wrong with giving a little more? Do you want us poor people to bear the burden?" She screamed, trying to cover up her guilt with her voice.
What's wrong with this woman? She's trying to shift the blame onto her today. It's just a small amount of money, isn't it? It's like asking for her life!
Song Jiao looked at her hysterical appearance and couldn't help but feel funny.
So he took a step forward and walked in front of Liu Yaoyao, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Junior Sister, you're not answering the right question! Don't you always say you like helping others? Why? Now that it's your turn to pay, you won't set an example?"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried an unquestionable majesty.
The fellow disciples around him held their breath and watched this wonderful show.
They all took out a lot of spirit stones, and now when they heard Song Jiao questioning Liu Yaoyao, they couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to know how many spirit stones this junior sister who always pretended to be so pretentious had actually given out.
"My fellow brothers and sisters here have all given out a lot of spirit stones, so let us ask you how much you gave out. Why do you act as if I have done something unforgivable to you?" Song Jiao continued, her tone full of sarcasm.
Moral kidnapping? This thing doesn't exist in front of Song Jiao.
She would not use morality to restrain others like Liu Yaoyao, nor would she be restrained by others using morality.
"Or is it that Junior Sister didn't give any spirit stones at all?" Song Jiao's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liu Yaoyao's heart.
Liu Yaoyao was furious and was about to open her mouth to yell at someone, but her senior brother Lin Chen was already standing in front of her and said to Song Jiao coldly, "Senior Sister, how can you be so aggressive? Junior Sister came in last, so it's normal for her to not have any spirit stones on her! Besides..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a crisp slap.
Song Jiao shook her hands impatiently, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Oh? Did I ask you a question? Didn't you see I was talking to Junior Sister?" Her voice was cold and full of endless majesty.
Lin Chen was stunned by the slap and raised his hand to fight back, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
He looked down and saw that his arm had hung down limply, obviously crippled by Song Jiao.
"Ah..." Lin Chen let out a scream, his face full of pain and unwillingness.
Liu Yaoyao panicked, her eyes red as she looked at Song Jiao. "Senior Sister, how could you be so cruel? Did you know that Senior Brother is a swordsman? How can he survive without his hands?" Her voice was filled with tears, trying to move Song Jiao with sympathy.
However, Song Jiao just laughed coldly. "Heh, he's disrespectful to his elders. Now that our Master and the elders are in seclusion, I'm the one guarding the entire sect. Is he questioning my way of doing things?"
Her voice was cold and majestic, as if every word contained infinite power.
The people around who wanted to help took a step back unconsciously. It was obvious that the result of the eldest brother made them feel scared.
They didn't want to end up like Lin Chen because of helping Liu Yaoyao.
A majestic roar exploded above the hall like thunder, causing pain in everyone's eardrums, and the sect hall instantly fell into dead silence.
Song Jiao's posture was lazy, but she had a domineering aura that could not be ignored. She walked slowly to the position of the great elder, raised her hand lightly, and Liu Yaoyao staggered and fell in front of her as if being pulled by an invisible rope.
"I didn't want to pursue these matters before. After all, we are all doing good deeds for the sect, and it's our duty." Song Jiao's voice was lazy, but it revealed a sense of majesty that could not be ignored. "But now, I feel it is necessary to clarify some things, at least to give an explanation to my fellow disciples."
Her eyes were like knives, staring at Liu Yaoyao closely, as if she wanted to see through her thoughts.
"Since you always ask us to help you raise spirit stones, I'd like to know why everyone in the mortal world calls you a living Bodhisattva, but never mentions us who have contributed. Do our efforts deserve to be buried in obscurity?"
Liu Yaoyao's heart tightened, but she still tried to change the subject.
"It's all for the sect, why bother to make such a clear distinction? If senior sister really cares about this matter, you can just tell her. Why hurt senior brother?" As she said this, she pretended to wipe away her tears, trying to gain sympathy.
However, Song Jiao was not moved at all.
She raised her hand and swung it vigorously. A powerful force surged out instantly, and Liu Yaoyao flew directly onto the pillar of the hall like a kite with a broken string. She crashed into it heavily and fell down in a mess.
"It seems that you gave away those spirit stones in your own name, so we deserve to be your backup money storage tool? Should we be used as your tools to extract supplies and money?"
Song Jiao's words were like thunder, causing everyone present to fall into deep thought.
Over the years, Liu Yaoyao had indeed taken away a lot of precious resources from them, but whenever someone came to express gratitude, it was because of Liu Yaoyao's title of "Junior Sister".
However, those who silently contributed and shed blood and sweat behind the scenes were almost never mentioned, as if their existence was only to set off Liu Yaoyao's brilliance.
"From what Senior Sister said today, all our efforts over the years have only been to pave the way for Liu Yaoyao." A junior brother said indignantly, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Seeing that the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly unfavorable to her, Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but feel anxious.
She knew very well that if she continued like this, her true identity would be completely exposed.
So, she simply rolled her eyes, pretended to faint, and collapsed to the ground.
As long as you faint quickly, these people will definitely not be able to do anything to you.
"Oh, why did Junior Sister faint?" A little follower exclaimed. They obviously did not expect Liu Yaoyao to suddenly do this.
"Senior Sister, how could you do this? Look, you even knocked Junior Sister unconscious!" A little follower accused, his voice trembling slightly, obviously intimidated by Song Jiao's aura.
"That's right, if you don't want to take the money, then don't take the money. How can you be so vicious?" Another follower also echoed, their tone full of dissatisfaction and hostility towards Song Jiao.
Song Jiao smiled faintly, as if she was watching a joke.
She slowly stood up, walked to Liu Yaoyao's side, took out a silver needle from her sleeve, and gently pricked Liu Yaoyao's fingertip.
"Ah—" A scream resounded throughout the hall. Liu Yaoyao suddenly jumped up, her face filled with fear and anger. "Senior Sister! How could you do this to me?"
Song Jiao looked at Liu Yaoyao's embarrassed appearance, and her smile grew even wider.
"What? Can't you pretend anymore? I thought you could hold on a little longer."
