Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jing Yao stepped forward, grabbed Su Xue'er's wrist, and pressed her to the ground. "Now you know who is not good enough for whom, right?"
Su Xue'er struggled to break free from Jing Yao's control, but Jing Yao's arms were like iron clamps, making her unable to move.
"You...you let me go!" Su Xue'er shouted angrily.
Jing Yao looked at her coldly, "Weren't you trying to take my things just now? Why are you begging me to let you go now?"
Su Xue'er's face flushed red, but she couldn't refute it.
At this moment, Xie Si walked over, looked at Su Xue'er on the ground, and said indifferently, "A loss is a loss."
Upon seeing her master Xie Si arrive, Su Xue'er heard these words before she could even complain, and immediately burst into tears of grievance, "Master..."
"Apologize."
Xie Si's voice was cold and clear. He looked down at the disheveled Su Xue'er on the ground and a doubt arose in his heart: why had the master-disciple relationship between him and her faded?
"I'm sorry."
Su Xue'er bit her lip and apologized reluctantly.
Jingyao stood up, put away her whip, nodded slightly, and walked to Mingyue's side.
Meanwhile, Mingyue was leisurely munching on fruit, completely oblivious to everything. When Jingyao came over, she smiled and said, "This is none of your business. You can continue shopping."
"Yes, Master."
Jingyao left without looking back.
Su Xue'er stared resentfully at Jing Yao's back, as if she would not be satisfied until she burned through Jing Yao's back.
If she still had the ability to stop time, would she let her off easily?
Damn it, I always feel like her life shouldn't be like this. Why does Jing Yao, with his mixed spiritual roots, dare to ride roughshod over her?
“Su Xue’er, your Dao heart is unstable.”
Xie Si had been observing Su Xue'er, trying to find out why the bond between master and disciple had faded, and naturally he did not miss the resentment in Su Xue'er's eyes.
Xie Si's expression turned cold as he harbored resentment over such a trivial matter. How far could someone like that go in the cultivation world?
"Yes, Master, I know I was wrong."
Su Xue'er quickly lowered her head to hide the expression in her eyes, and even resented Xie Si's inaction in her heart.
Why should her master side with someone else?
Xie Si assumed Su Xue'er had come to her senses and softened his tone, saying, "It's good that you know."
Mingyue laughed without holding back, "You know that much, that's good. You certainly know how to talk."
Xie Si stared blankly at Mingyue's departing figure after she finished speaking. Had he said something wrong?
The immortal's abode was almost completely emptied. Apart from some rare and precious materials, no secret manuals or peerless treasures left behind by the immortals were found.
Realizing that the entrance to this immortal abode was about to close, everyone reluctantly left.
Mingyue took Jingyao back to Qingyue Peak first, while Xie Si stayed behind to take charge.
"Alright, your demonic power is practically overflowing, there's no point in hiding it."
Mingyue used a small knife to cut and eat the whole roasted lamb that had been delivered from the foot of the mountain. The lamb sizzled with oil, and was roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Jing Yao was startled; she hadn't expected her master to discover the demonic power within her. "I..."
"Demon power is no problem. Humans want to become immortals, but demons don't? It's just that you are half-human and half-demon, so it's twice as hard for you to become an immortal as others."
Mingyue tore off a piece of lamb leg and continued, "Besides, the thing you're wearing around your neck can't block anyone's demonic power except for those below the Nascent Soul stage."
Therefore, apart from those who underwent the trial together, all the other elders and masters knew that she possessed demonic power.
"I'm sorry, Master. If I've caused you any trouble, I can leave now."
