One looks like a beggar, the other acts like a rich man; it's clear she's the one who's been taken advantage of. Listen to that! Listen to the nonsense those men and women are spouting, turning right and wrong upside down. It's all Ji Xiaoxiao's fault here, inside and out!
Ji Xiaoxiao's lack of access to the original owner's memories doesn't mean she has to be restrained and at the mercy of others. The adults said she's both an outsider and not an outsider. Her missions in various worlds are ultimately about empowering the protagonists and allowing the serfs to rise up and sing their praises. They ask for this and that, but looking beyond the surface, the essence of "life" is nothing more than a vibrant and carefree existence.
Faced with Ji Xiaoxiao's unintentional words, the young men and women, still in their prime, felt as if they had swallowed a huge walnut and were gasping for breath, their faces turning red, and their ethereal aura dissipated with a gust of wind.
The defeated troops were no threat. Ji Xiaoxiao was cautious and determined to press her advantage. "Senior brothers and sisters, I have a question for you. Could you please answer my questions?" Ji Xiaoxiao deduced her relationship with the man and woman from their conversation.
The eyes of the crowd were not mere decorations. Ji Xiaoxiao was disheveled, with several minor injuries. As the senior sister, even if Ji Xiaoxiao glared at her junior sister, they couldn't say she had done anything wrong. After all, the disciples of Qingyun Sect had endured so much hardship back then. Besides, Ji Xiaoxiao stood there blankly like a wooden statue, silent and still, and hadn't done anything heinous or immoral.
Thinking this, the usually calm and collected crowd blushed with embarrassment.
"Junior Sister Su, please speak." The man who spoke first reacted the fastest, putting aside his distracting thoughts and speaking with a faint smile.
At the summit, Ji Xiaoxiao stood immovable, slowly raising her jade-like arm. Her slender fingers were so delicate that the bones were visible in the sunlight. "Is there any mind-reading technique in this world?"
"Yes." The man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can senior brothers and sisters use mind-reading on junior sisters?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked one question after another.
"No, mind reading is an unparalleled supernatural power, difficult for ordinary people to cultivate. Moreover, mind reading can only be used on people whose cultivation is higher than the other party's. Junior Sister Su is exceptionally talented, and at only sixteen years old, she has already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Senior Brother is thirty-five years old and has only just reached the High-Level Foundation Establishment stage. His cultivation and mental state are both inferior to Junior Sister's." It was not hard to see the man's jealousy, envy, and hatred towards the original owner.
"What about the other senior brothers and sisters?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked again.
The man glanced at his junior brothers and sisters' faces; they were clouded with gloom, as if a torrential downpour was imminent. Not wanting to offend them, he shook his head without a word.
"If senior brothers and sisters can't read minds, why do they presume to guess what junior sister is thinking? One should be forgiving when possible. Junior sister has never said a harsh word to junior sister Xiaoheng. And look at junior sister's miserable state; if junior sister were to lay a hand on junior sister Xiaoheng, she would be utterly destroyed." Ji Xiaoxiao's smile didn't diminish; instead, it deepened.
Ji Xiaoxiao's words were all reasonable and insightful.
The three men had lost face in front of Ji Xiaoxiao, and they already harbored resentment towards her. Now, they added fuel to the fire, truly desiring to get rid of Ji Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, like the proverbial "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
"If it weren't for her, would we have lost face in front of Su Mali?" It takes two to tango, and the junior sister, who was left out in the cold, was on the verge of tears, innocently caught in the crossfire.
Frustrated, the three of them forced themselves to chat with Ji Xiaoxiao for a while longer, ignoring their junior sister "Xiao Heng's" repeated pleas. Under Ji Xiaoxiao's watchful eye, they vanished on a cloud. Without outside help, the victorious junior sister "Xiao Heng" couldn't linger with the loser Ji Xiaoxiao. After a solemn apology, she left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.
After everyone left, Ji Xiaoxiao sat listlessly on the futon, gazing longingly at the drifting white clouds in the sky. The tranquil environment was a silent lullaby, and Ji Xiaoxiao yawned ten times before closing her eyes, drawn by the gentle breeze and warm sunshine.
On the continent of Tiancang, the cultivation of immortality is prevalent.
The Su family is one of the seven great immortal cultivation families of the Tiancang Continent. Su Mary is the legitimate daughter of Su Changsheng, the head of the Su family, and was born into wealth and privilege. At Su Mary's birth, extraordinary phenomena occurred, much to the delight of the Su family. At the age of three, her spiritual root was tested and revealed to be a chaotic spiritual root, a highly coveted and hated talent.
With such natural talent and family influence, Su Mali began practicing Qi cultivation at eight, reached Foundation Establishment at twelve, and peaked Foundation Establishment at fifteen. At sixteen, she entered the Qingyun Sect and became a disciple of the sect leader, Master Yun Yi. For a time, she enjoyed immense prestige, and Su Mali was considered a leading and outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Tiancang Continent.
Two months after entering the Qingyun Sect, Master Yun brought back a girl named Huang Yanheng, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. At first, Su Mali didn't think much of it. She thought, "It's going to rain or someone's going to get married. What can a master do when he takes on a disciple?"
As her junior sister was, Su Mali quickly learned that Huang Yanheng was originally an outer disciple of the sect, possessing five spiritual roots, skillful yet clumsy, but lacking in natural talent. However, diligence could compensate for her shortcomings. After nearly three years in the outer sect, Huang Yanheng's talent astonished everyone. Her cultivation, which had been stagnant, advanced by leaps and bounds within a month, climbing from the middle stage of Qi Refining to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It was no wonder that Master Yunyi accepted Huang Yanheng as his personal disciple after such an extraordinary feat.
Accustomed to being a loner, Su Mali made a few inquiries about Huang Yanheng, told her she wouldn't see any outsiders, and then put the matter aside to focus on her cultivation. Huang Yanheng, an ordinary woman, had long admired the renowned genius Su Mali, who was famous throughout the Tiancang Continent. Three months later, she personally visited Su Mali with disciples of Master Yunyi. At that crucial moment in Su Mali's cultivation, Huang Yanheng's unexpected visit disrupted her focus, causing her to lose her composure, her energy to become disordered, and her spiritual power to backfire and injure herself.
Originally, he could have advanced to the Golden Core stage, but Huang Yanheng thwarted his plans. Huang Yanheng offered Su Mali some pointers, and Su Mali, thinking she could use the opportunity to teach Huang Yanheng a lesson and vent her anger, agreed.
Despite being injured, Su Mali had no problem dealing with a mere beginner in the Foundation Establishment stage. Huang Yanheng, however, defied expectations and defeated Su Mali, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, despite only being at the beginner stage. An ordinary girl defeating a prodigy immediately drew criticism from all sides.
