Wu Lin pressed further, "What kind of magic weapon is it? Now that your magic power is almost completely destroyed, you can't use any magic weapon, no matter what its attribute is!"
Wu Qing said, "Yes, junior sister, show it to us. If we think it's usable, we'll exchange it for some good pills!" After saying that, she glanced at the other three nuns.
The four of them burst into laughter.
Wu Lin began to try and snatch the storage ring from Chu Nian's hand. The ring belonged to the original owner and contained nothing of use to Chu Nian. However, Chu Nian did not want them to take it, so she casually raised her hand, and the back of her hand traced a subtle arc.
So, the four nuns surrounding her didn't see what technique she used, but they heard four crisp slaps, and they immediately felt a burning pain on their faces: they had all been slapped by Chu Nian in that instant.
Wu Si stared at Chu Nian in utter shock, gritting his teeth as he said, "Wu Nian, you just said that your power hasn't recovered."
Chu Nian said, “It’s not so easy to recover lost power. However, I can freely enter and leave Mount Ling, so I naturally have many skills that others don’t know about. Would you like to try a few more?” After saying that, she raised her lips in a cold smile and looked at the nuns who were covering their cheeks.
Enraged, Wu Si glared and was about to step forward to deal with Chu Nian when Chu Nian spread his palm, and a beam of light shot into the sky with a loud bang. Even Wu Si and the others could feel the Emei magic power carried by this light, let alone Kong Yuan.
Upon seeing this light, Kong Yuan would undoubtedly rush back as quickly as possible.
Upon seeing this, the four nuns quickly exchanged glances and retreated from Chu Nian, each closing their eyes and meditating in four different places, appearing obedient and waiting patiently for Kong Yuan to return.
Chu Nian found the four of them particularly amusing and found a place to sit down as well.
Kong Yuan returned shortly afterward and asked, "Who sent the signal just now?"
The four nuns all pointed at Chu Nian.
Chu Nian, however, looked completely innocent and said, "Senior Sister Wusi, it was clearly you who was anxiously waiting for Master and sent the signal. Why are you pointing the finger at me along with the other senior sisters?"
Wu Si immediately roared angrily, "Wu Nian, what nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly you who sent the signal..."
Kong Yuan frowned and said coldly, "This signal can only be sent by a cultivator at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Wu Nian's cultivation has been destroyed and he hasn't even started rebuilding it yet; moreover, the signal also reveals your magical power aura. Wu Si, do you think I would believe you and Wu Ning and the others if you joined forces to accuse Wu Nian?"
"Master..." Wusi looked at Kongyuan with great grievance and called out in a tearful voice.
Kong Yuan said coldly, "Wu Si, do you really think that I haven't seen through your resentment, or even hostility, towards Wu Nian all these years?"
"But it really was Wu Nian's signal!" Wu Si shouted, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Kong Yuan impatiently shouted, "Enough! Wu Si, if you dare to frame Wu Nian so blatantly again, don't blame me for punishing you severely. Now let's set off immediately and return to Emei." He then glared at Wu Si fiercely.
Wu Si was so angry her nose was almost crooked, but Kong Yuan just wouldn't believe her, so she had no choice but to return to Emei first.
Kong Yuan did not punish Wu Si. In fact, this master was relatively lenient towards his disciple Wu Si, because she herself always believed that the master only cared about Wu Nian.
Wu Qing and the others were surprised that Kong Yuan identified the signal as being from Wu Si, especially Kong Yuan, who said that she sensed Wu Si's magical power in the signal. This was truly a mystery.
They felt that Chu Nian, who had returned from Demon Mountain, might have learned some particularly powerful magic from the demons, and that it was the kind of magic that could still be used even after one's physical body had been destroyed. Therefore, they were all a little afraid when they saw Chu Nian after that.
They thought that Buddha might have really given Chu Nian some powerful and special magic weapon.
Because she was wronged, Wu Si was also disliked by her persistent master, which fueled her hatred for Chu Nian. One day, while her master was accompanying her uncle down the mountain to kill demons, she sought out Chu Nian again.
She asked, "How did you do that?"
Chu Nian asked knowingly, "What?"
Wu Si: "On the way back to Emei from Lingshan last time, why did the signal you released carry my magical aura?"
Chu Nian blinked her innocent big eyes and said, "Senior sister, I don't understand why you insist that I was the one who sent the signal. It was clearly you who sent it."
Wu Si: "Master isn't on the mountain right now, aren't you going to tell the truth?"
Chu Nian: "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Wu Si: "What are you pretending to be innocent for, a woman who betrayed her master to join the demonic sect and has now betrayed the demonic sect again?! Your master will see through your true colors sooner or later, as you are a fickle and opportunistic person who changes sides at the drop of a hat."
Chu Nian: "Senior sister, I just don't understand, why are you so hostile towards me?"
Wu Si: "It was clearly you who gave the signal, why are you framing me?"
Chu Nian remained silent, thinking to herself: We are clearly disciples taught by the same master, yet you and Wu Qing and the others are making things difficult for your junior sister. If I, as your junior sister, don't teach you a lesson, you and the others will definitely join forces to harm me again in the future.
Wu Si: "Why aren't you answering?"
Chu Nian: "I already said, I don't understand what you're talking about. That signal was clearly emitted by you."
Wu Si was so angry that he jumped up and down, hysterically shouting, "It was clearly you! Why are you framing me? There's no one else here! Why won't you admit it?"
Chu Nian fell silent again: Do you think I'm stupid? You clearly activated the communicator with Kong Yuan, so Kong Yuan could hear our conversation.
Wu Si roared, "Say something! Why won't you speak?"
Chu Nian asked helplessly, "What exactly do you want me to say?"
Wu Si tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "Wu Qing and the others all saw with their own eyes that you gave the signal. It's no use denying it."
Chu Nian: "Senior sister, you and I are ultimately Master's personal disciples. I really don't understand why you would conspire with Senior Sister Wuqing and the others to harm me? Do you, like them, believe that the Buddha gave me some kind of magical weapon that day and want to kill me to steal it?"
Wu Si roared in shock and anger, "What murder and robbery? I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Chu Nian's voice was filled with grief and indignation as she said, "That day, you and Wu Qing and the others joined forces to lure Master away from the mountain and make him track down the demonic energy. Then, while Master was away, you forced me to reveal the gifts that Buddha had given me. Later, we discovered that what Buddha had given me were just some scriptures that you couldn't understand, so we gave up."
Seeing that you couldn't get any treasure from me, you became impatient and released the signal to summon your master back..."
