Zhu Yi seized the opportunity: "Our little peach blossom is the most clever! Can you teach your older sister how to collect the treasures inside the Immortal Peach Secret Realm?"
"It's so simple. In the entire secret realm, isn't I the most precious thing?" Little Peach Blossom felt that Zhu Yi was a bit ungrateful. With her little hands crossed in front of her chest, she looked so unapproachable that it was really infuriating.
Zhu Yi was in a great mood and played along with the little peach blossom's smugness, gently poking the little girl's chubby cheeks: "Mmm, you're the most precious one. From now on, I'll name you Tao Bao, okay?"
"It's alright, I guess!" Tao Bao turned her head proudly and pointed to where the peach tree had been. "If you dig down inside, there's a treasure box. It's full of the spiritual plants I've planted for you over the years, all seeds I brought from the spirit realm!"
"Our Taobao is the best!" Zhu Yi grinned from ear to ear, pulling Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei along to dig for treasure.
Shen Hanfang, however, shamelessly took out her sword and started digging before Zhu Yi could.
"Are you a fellow disciple of the Tianlan Sect?" Zhu Yi didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point. "The treasure inside this tree root was left to me by Tao Bao. How could you start digging it up without her permission?"
"Heh? Just because she says it's yours doesn't mean it's yours." Shen Hanfang harbored great hostility towards Zhu Yi; she wanted to oppose the three of them.
"Junior Sister, she seems to be a disciple of the Talisman Sect." Wei Weiwei found Shen Hanfang very familiar, after all, they were fellow disciples of the Talisman Sect and would often run into each other when entering and leaving the disciple building.
"You seem to be hostile towards the three of us?" Xue Shan frowned and asked Shen Hanfang. She also felt that every time she saw Shen Hanfang, she felt something was off.
Shen Hanfang did not answer, but instead dug even more vigorously.
"Since it's an unclaimed treasure, it's first come, first served! So what if it's yours? It's something the three of you owe us!"
"How did the three of us owe you anything? Go ahead and dig if you want." Zhu Yi watched coldly.
"I'll just take it from you after you dig it out. After all, you're such a robber, openly robbing our treasure right in front of us. You're not exactly an honest person!"
"What kind of honest people are you?" Shen Hanfang got angry and started spouting nonsense.
She pointed angrily at Wei Weiwei, her voice trembling: "If it weren't for her seductive appearance that tempted Senior Brother Shuchen, my sister wouldn't have been implicated by Lanxiang and the others, and would have been punished to face the wall at the Cliff of Repentance!"
Forgotten memories suddenly flooded her mind, and Wei Weiwei's fair face instantly turned as red as an apple. She said in a low voice, "That time, Lanxiang, Chuncao, Yunyan, Liuyan, and Shen Fangting were punished to face the wall at the Cliff of Repentance because they bullied me. The five of them even wrote apology letters and posted them on the sect's notice board."
"So what? They were the ones who were unreasonable first, so isn't it right for them to be punished?" Zhu Yi looked directly at Shen Hanfang as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"So what is your relationship with them?" Xue Shan looked at Shen Hanfang with a probing gaze. This made it easier to explain the hostility she felt towards Shen Hanfang.
"Shen Fangting's older sister, Shen Hanfang."
"Tsk, the name doesn't rhyme." Zhu Yi had a rather amused look on her face. "Why did you stop digging?"
"You!" Shen Hanfang was somewhat bewildered by Zhu Yi's unconventional approach. Her eyes flickered, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.
"You're allowed to bully my sister, but I'm not allowed to fight back?" she raised her voice, furious.
"Your sister did something wrong, and instead of disciplining her properly, you indulge her and complain about it. Do you think the senior brothers and elders of the sect are just sitting around doing nothing?" Zhu Yi couldn't stand these overprotective parents. Not only were none of them reasonable, but they all felt wronged.
"Your sister and her group of five have only themselves to blame!" Zhu Yi couldn't control her temper and began to reprimand them. "These young girls don't focus on cultivating and completing tasks in the sect. They're always neglecting their duties. They get upset if Shu Chen talks to other female cultivators for a few minutes. Instead of reflecting on their own behavior, they only know how to bully others. It's already been more than generous of us not to expel you from the sect, okay?"
Wait a minute, she sensed that Shen Hanfang's gaze seemed to be expecting something.
Zhu Yi felt a chill behind her. She turned around and drew her broadsword, the cold light flashing in her eyes, stinging her. She closed her eyes involuntarily. All she heard was the sound of swords clashing. In an instant, Zhu Yi was slapped hard across the chest, her chest and lungs burning with pain.
The Hehuan Sword was placed in front of Zhu Yi to help him defend himself. Zhu Yi quickly adjusted his eyes, circulated his wood spirit energy once, and barely opened them. Zhu Qianying's furious face came into view. He didn't know what had gotten into her, but she had put all her strength into wielding her sword to assassinate Zhu Yi.
Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei were putting up a lot of resistance.
They couldn't beat her, they simply couldn't beat her. Two Qi Refining stage disciples really couldn't defeat Zhu Qianying's mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.
"Zhu Qianying, if you have the guts, come at me. What kind of skill is it to bully others?" Through blurry vision, Xue Shan and Wei Wei were each kicked to the sides by Zhu Qianying.
Tao Bao chanted a spell with her fingers, her face full of suspicion: "What kind of magical artifact are you using that can block my magical restraints on you?"
"Mind your own business! Since you can't be used by me, then you can go and die with those three bitches!" Zhu Qianying went berserk, her bloodshot eyes launching indiscriminate attacks on the three people and the tree. She summoned the Bodhi Space Shield, trapping Zhu Yi and her group within the spatial array under her control.
"It's a Bodhi leaf!" Tao Bao immediately understood. The Bodhi Divine Tree's level was many times higher than that of the Peach Tree. No wonder this annoying human cultivator could break her spell.
Little Peach quickly found a corner to hide in. She tried to contact the Bodhi Tree with the connection between the immortal plants. Someone was using his leaves to do evil. Would he still care?
Fortunately, sensing the Bodhi Tree within the Bodhi Space is relatively easier.
While dodging Zhu Qianying's pursuit inside the spatial array, Zhu Yi asked, "What is this thing?"
Tao Bao shrank her neck and explained, "One flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi. The Bodhi Space Shield is a spatial array made from Bodhi leaves. One leaf, one spatial array, traps all the target enemies within the space of the leaf holder, making it easy to kill them one by one!"
Zhu Qianying's attacks were all deadly. Her sword strikes, imbued with fiery spiritual energy, slashed at Zhu Yi, engulfing her in a bone-chilling heat that caused her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Zhu Yi didn't hold back, using Netherworld Ghost Fire to condense a swarm of tiny insects that landed on Zhu Qianying. The finger-length insects swarmed and pupaed all over Zhu Qianying's body. Zhu Qianying couldn't stand the dense swarm and cursed Zhu Yi: "You bitch, what kind of fire are you using that's so disgusting?"
"You dare to attack me back? Aren't you afraid to go back and collect your aunt's corpse? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the elders of the Zhu family when you return?" She glared angrily, her ferocious features devoid of any of her usual elegance and composure. Every word she uttered revealed her sense of superiority as the legitimate daughter and the pampering she received from the elders of the Zhu family.
"Don't think everyone in the world is your mother!" Zhu Yi couldn't hold back anymore. It was obvious that Zhu Qianying had taken out such a high-grade magic weapon to go on a killing spree and make them die here.
Shangguan Wenqi had never seen Zhu Qianying so crazy and fierce before, and he was a little stunned.
Xie Ao, on the other hand, was somewhat unsurprised. He thought Zhu Qianying always acted like she was doing this and that, looking all smug and virtuous, but she was definitely not a good person! This time, she's finally showing her true colors, isn't she?
With such a perfect opportunity to strike, it would be strange if Shen Hanfang didn't participate!
