The Wuyou Pavilion is nestled amidst verdant mountains, a picturesque setting. In fact, a winding path has been carved out of the deep bamboo grove, paved with bluestone slabs. The lush bamboo groves on both sides of the path, with the occasional sprouting new shoots, further enhance the tranquil and elegant atmosphere of the place.
Several disciples of the Sword Sect followed the people from the Worry-Free Pavilion to a place where they would be staying for the next few days. As they walked along the path, Xie Zhou suddenly saw an opening. Following them through, everything suddenly became clear and the view opened up.
Suddenly, a few people arrived, dressed differently from the disciples of Wuyou Pavilion. They looked somewhat unfamiliar. The Wuyou Pavilion disciples who hadn't gone to the main hall to greet them that day started chattering and pointing at Xie Zhou and the others.
"Are these disciples from the Sword Sect?"
"You didn't see it, so you don't know. Those guys standing in front of the Sword Sect were all beaten to a pulp by their senior brothers. The scene was absolutely horrific!"
"No wonder, they think they can live in spacious accommodations? What a pipe dream, hahaha..."
Ao Tian and his companions, who had just been soundly beaten, blushed with shame and turned their faces away, wishing they could disappear into the ground. They decided to pretend they hadn't heard anything: ...
But seeing how small the accommodations arranged for them by the people of Wuyou Pavilion were, and how they weren't even given separate rooms, were they supposed to be forced to live together with men and women without any separation?! How dare they treat them so harshly!
Xie Zhou pouted with disdain and deliberately shouted loudly, "Tell me, this Worry-Free Pavilion is really shabby. It doesn't even have a place for guests to stay. Tsk tsk."
When the others from the Sword Sect heard Xie Zhou's words and saw her teasing, irritating expression, they couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, which eased some of the resentment they had been harboring.
"Right, Senior Brother?" Xie Zhou nudged Luo Fantian's arm with his elbow, signaling him to speak.
Looking at her innocent and harmless face, Luo Fantian suddenly laughed. These disciples of the Worry-Free Pavilion didn't understand the evil in the world. If they tried to reason with Xie Zhou, they would probably be driven crazy by this clever girl.
Xie Zhou looked at her senior brother who was grinning at her without saying a word, and her face fell. She wasn't angry, and nudged another senior brother from the Sword Sect next to her with her elbow, "Hey, senior brother, don't you think so?"
"Indeed, I didn't expect that while the Pavilion Master possesses such extraordinary bearing, his subordinates are so petty and calculating, playing these childish tricks. It's truly laughable, hahaha..."
Xie Zhou raised an eyebrow sharply and suddenly gave a thumbs-up to this senior brother who dared to speak up.
Others from the Sword Sect: She's a big shot, we can't afford to mess with her.
Upon hearing this, several disciples of the Sword Sect echoed, saying that the Worry-Free Pavilion was stingy and shabby, even its accommodations were so poor, no wonder it had just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Sword Sect...
"Shut up! How can you talk such nonsense!" Wuyou Pavilion was quite angry after their back-and-forth.
"Oh, by the way, in the competition just now, our Sword Sect won completely. Your Worry-Free Pavilion suffered a terrible defeat. Even your Pavilion Master's face turned green."
Seeing the situation, everyone in the Sword Sect sided with Xie Zhou. After all, in the face of clan conflicts, they had to protect their own people, partly out of genuine affection for Xie Zhou.
"How about we have a contest? According to the rules of our Worry-Free Pavilion, the stronger people naturally live in the bigger places. Do you guys dare to have a contest?" The disciple next to him suddenly pulled the speaker aside and whispered something in his ear.
The disciples of Wuyou Pavilion were so angry that their faces turned red. No matter how much they argued, they couldn't win against Xie Zhou. Suddenly, someone spoke up. It was the person who hadn't gone to the main hall earlier. Xie Zhou was sure that this was the fool. He had just deliberately provoked him with his words.
All of this was, of course, for the purpose of getting a spacious room.
Xie Zhou and the Sword Sect members kept provoking the disciples of Wuyou Pavilion, which angered them and finally drove them to jump into the pit.
"Who cares if they're strong or not? Are you scared? You just said they were beaten to a pulp by their senior brothers in the sect. Why the sudden change?" The disciple struggled to pull away the hand of another disciple who was tightly gripping his arm. His face was flushed, and he just wanted to fight these people.
“It’s definitely those people from the front. You really can’t beat Xie Zhou, stop messing around.” After saying that, the disciple tugged at him again.
"I don't care, Xie Zhou, our Wuyou Pavilion disciples want to fight you all. If you win, you'll get a good place to stay. If you lose, you'll all kneel down and apologize to the people of Wuyou Pavilion!"
“Yes, that’s right!” The other disciples who didn’t go also chimed in.
Xie Zhou's lips curled into a smile. She thought to herself, "I'm just afraid you won't take the bait." She raised her hand and said loudly, "Then you'd better keep your word!"
"Of course!" The naive disciples of Wuyou Pavilion were completely unaware that they had fallen into Xie Zhou's trap.
The system gave a thumbs up: Ruthless.
The system thought for a moment, and if Xie Zhou heard this, he would probably be so smug, and would probably reply with "That's right!" The system sighed helplessly.
The disciples who came out to fight hurriedly revealed their signature weapons, unaware that Xie Zhou had taken a look at this scene. She understood what was going on and began to lay out a grand plan.
"Senior brother, you go and accept the challenge." Xie Zhou pointed to one of the senior brothers, who, recalling the terrible beating he had just received, had some doubts.
"It's alright," Xie Zhou leaned closer and whispered, "There's an elemental advantage, so it's easy to fight." He then gave a playful smile, almost blinding several people.
Luo Fantian's scalp tingled: Why is this brat throwing in flirtatious glances when she should be speaking properly!
The person in front of him looked quite strong. Although there was an elemental advantage, Xie Zhou pointed to a senior brother who was also quite strong to fight, just to be on the safe side.
When the arrogant disciple was completely stunned by the beating, the system suddenly appeared and praised Xie Zhou, "You're really something, smart!"
Xie Zhou chuckled and said, "Tongzi, you finally said something human. Oh no, you're not human."
System: "Get lost, get lost, get lost."
Xie Zhou: "What I said isn't wrong either."
The system fell silent, indicating it didn't want to speak.
Although the people sent by the Sword Sect had various attributes and different strengths, Xie Zhou not only provided guidance from the sidelines but also assigned people to compete based on attribute counters. Seeing Xie Zhou's strength just now, the people were happy to humbly accept the arrangement.
Soon, the disciples of Wuyou Pavilion were routed, and Xie Zhou succeeded in seizing three dorm rooms. The disciples of Wuyou Pavilion were furious at her radiant smile.
Xie Zhou shared a room with a female disciple, while the other two rooms each housed two people. The rooms were assigned to the group, but Ao Tian was stubborn and had a falling out with the Sword Sect members, refusing to share the rooms. So he ended up sharing a room with several other Wuyou Pavilion disciples who had been squeezed out of their rooms.
