Xie Zhou then led the disciples of the Sword Sect to the Monster Mountain Range. On the way, they saw Xie Zhou but did not say a word. The new disciples had long heard of Xie Zhou's great name and were overjoyed to see their idol in front of them.
Everyone outside was saying that Xie Zhou was indeed a lively and clever girl, but after this trip, they felt that Xie Zhou was a particularly quiet and patient person. However, she didn't tell them much, only offering some basic care and precautions, and that was about it.
She speaks very little and is not as talkative, lively, and active as the legends portray her, like a celestial being on a high mountain.
Perhaps it's because Xie Zhou has been wearing white for the past few days. Although it's very plain, the subtle patterns and designs on it are layered and exquisite.
Xie Zhou actually took a look at the new disciples on the way, at least noting their numbers, general appearances, and names. She needed to remember some of them so that it wouldn't be too awkward to call out to a few people later.
Unexpectedly, after a month, there were quite a few new faces in the sect. Xie Zhou had an excellent memory and was able to remember some of them. After all, these new disciples still had childish faces, but they had already put on their Sword Sect's training clothes and picked up their swords.
These disciples all looked like adults, having tied their hair up early on. They were much quieter and less noisy, occasionally saying a few words. They were much more well-behaved than the previous junior brothers and sisters.
However, Xie Zhou did not expect that these new disciples would treat her with great respect. And when facing Xie Zhou, their indifferent expressions, coupled with their taciturn nature, made them seem exceptionally aloof.
Therefore, the new disciples were afraid that if they said anything out of turn or did anything that would displease Xie Zhou. After all, who wouldn't want to perform well in front of their idol? They respected him, but now they also felt a little afraid. They didn't know why, and Xie Zhou probably never thought of this reason.
She stubbornly believed that the fact that she didn't show any serious expression on her face shouldn't scare them.
However, the system then saw through her act, saying, "Host, the system can tell that those little children are afraid of you!"
"No way, how could that be?"
Xie was somewhat puzzled, then a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the new disciples. He noticed they showed no fear whatsoever. Where did they get that scary look in their eyes? Isn't it all normal? The system's ability to manipulate people's emotions is probably rather rudimentary!
Having come to the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range for training, the elders repeatedly reminded Xie Zhou to protect them. Of course, Xie Zhou wouldn't let his guard down. However, he wasn't in a hurry to set up camp on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, as he still needed to find a place to rest temporarily.
There are many accommodations specifically for cultivators on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, mostly post stations and inns. So Xie Zhou planned to take them back to the inn first, settle them in, and then set off again tomorrow to patrol the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.
"Alright, the inn is just ahead. You've all had a long day, so go eat, wash up, and get some sleep. I'll take you to the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range first thing tomorrow morning."
The disciple walking in front nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Sister!"
The group then arrived at the inn. Seeing so many people, the waiter quickly stepped forward and said, "Esteemed guests, are you also here for the Monster Mountain Range? If you're looking for a meal, I'm sorry, but our small inn has been very busy these past few days, so you might have to squeeze in..."
"After all, we're the only inn around here, so please bear with us..."
No sooner had the waiter finished speaking than a man led several servants to the front door. His clothes were indeed extraordinary, and the man was arrogant, as if everyone was inferior to him.
When the disciples of the Sword Sect saw that the newcomer was actually from the Fire Spirit Sect, who had participated in the previous sect competition, their expressions became somewhat solemn, and they seemed to be avoiding that person as well.
Xie Zhou was furious when he saw the arrogant rich kid.
Immediately afterwards, a servant hurriedly replaced some things in the inn with large and small bags, including the cushions and chairs. It was quite a generous gesture.
A disciple of the Sword Sect muttered, "It's them, so what if they're rich..."
Xie Zhou, with his sharp ears, overheard this and, upon reflection, realized that they might have been involved in what happened in the room.
She didn't want to cause trouble, but the person walked straight towards Xie Zhou.
With a frivolous air, he said, "Miss, what is your name? You are so beautiful, if you are not married, perhaps..."
"I didn't expect you to be from the Sword Sect, tsk tsk... Bah! They're utterly useless, yet they're always being bullied by us from the Fire Spirit Sect!"
Xie Zhou thought that rich kids wouldn't become spoiled brats, but he didn't expect that his mouth reeked of thugs. The guy's piercing eyes made her feel uncomfortable, and the other Sword Sect disciples felt the same way.
A disciple standing nearby frowned and stepped forward angrily, saying, "Get your filthy hands off me!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that?"
With a single glance, the Fire Spirit Sect members stepped forward and brandished their weapons. The disciple suddenly felt a pang of regret and fear, but he couldn't just stand by and watch his senior sister be bullied. He steeled himself and stepped forward to block Xie Zhou's view.
The other new disciples of the Sword Sect originally wanted to stop the impulsive Xiao Ye, but they were helpless because he spoke his mind so bluntly. Most of the disciples did not dare to go against the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect.
Seeing this disciple blocking her way, Xie Zhou took the initiative to attack the leader of the Fire Spirit Sect.
She slapped him in the chest with a dull thud, "Bang!"
He was pushed several meters away, and then Xie Zhou attacked him, knocking the team leader flying.
"Ugh! Thud..."
"Boss!"
When the Fire Spirit Sect members saw that the girl in front of them had acted so quickly, they had only intended to threaten the Sword Sect members. They did not expect that the girl in charge would take action directly and with such force.
Seeing that their leader had a little blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and had fallen to the ground without making a sound, they immediately became furious.
The other Fire Spirit Sect disciples attacked Xie Zhou one after another, using their magical weapons to launch several attacks on him, but what did it matter?
