Chapter 8: Dark Brothers and Sisters
Ye Qinglan was shocked, "He has a lover?"
Zhong Ling'er... not yet. At this moment, he is training in the secret realm with many disciples of the sect, and he should not have seen his cousin yet.
"Ouyang Ruochen is indeed powerful. He is now known as the best among his peers. However, he is the only one who can hold up the Taiqiong Sect." A voice came from the table next to her. Zhong Ling'er looked over and saw a young man who put down the jade slip in his hand and spoke with an indignant look on his face.
Ye Qinglan also looked over, and hurriedly turned around to hold down Zhong Ling'er's head, whispering, "Don't make a sound, they are from the Tianyu Sect, we can't afford to offend them."
Zhong Ling'er looked at her in surprise. Is Senior Sister Ye so cowardly?
Ye Qinglan pouted and explained, "They always pick on us. Many of our sect disciples have been bullied by them. Second Senior Brother said that if you can't beat them, just hide. It's not shameful."
Zhong Ling'er understood. This was the life-saving method taught by Second Senior Brother. Although it was a bit cowardly, at least one would not get hurt.
The two of them kept silent and listened quietly to the conversation between Tian Yuzong and the other person.
The fat man next to him said, "Senior Brother Zhao, our senior brother is not much worse than Ouyang Ruochen. Now that one of the two beauties of Taiqiong has been killed, who can say that the other one won't be killed as well?"
Senior Brother Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Ouyang Ruochen is too popular and has been targeted by many people. The Taiqiong Sect is declining, and I don't know how long it can protect him."
"As long as we get a top five ranking in the sect competition, Taiqiong Sect will fall out of the top five sects, and the Taiqiong Twins will mean nothing. This Qiongxiao City will belong to our sect."
The fat man immediately said, "Brother Zhao is absolutely right. I heard that the head of Taiqiong Sect accepted a useless person who can't practice as his personal disciple. I don't know what they are thinking. During the sect competition, if the personal disciple challenges that level, they will definitely lose."
Senior Brother Zhao snorted and said, "I'm afraid they won't let this loser participate in the competition."
The fat man lowered his voice and leaned close to Senior Brother Zhao's ear and said, "The headmaster said that she will have no choice but to participate in the competition. We can't touch Ouyang Ruochen, but can't we touch Bai Luochen, whose cultivation has regressed?"
His voice was very soft and due to the noisy atmosphere in the restaurant, Ye Qinglan did not hear it clearly. However, Zhong Ling'er sensed it and heard it clearly. In order to win the sect competition, was the Tianyu Sect going to attack the second senior brother?
This is not impossible. I remember that in the sect competitions in the past few generations, the eldest and second senior brothers of Taiqiong Sect were unable to participate. Not long after that, Tianyu Sect replaced Taiqiong Sect and became one of the five major sects. It also became the master of this Qiongxiao City.
While the two were whispering, Zhong Ling'er used her spiritual sense to put the jade slip that Senior Brother Zhao had placed on the table into the round bead. Fearing that it would be decomposed by the round bead, she immediately transferred it into the storage ring, and then quietly left with Ye Qinglan.
The two of them walked around the street for a while when they were caught by Bai Luochen who was looking for someone. When they were about to go back, they saw the disciple in charge of security in the city running over and saying that a fight had broken out in the restaurant and that the man had a very high level of cultivation and the disciples were no match for him.
Bai Luochen brought two people over to take a look, and saw that the two people from Tianyu Sect were being beaten up by a middle-aged man. When they asked the reason, the shopkeeper said that Zhao Qingfeng's jade slip was lost, and the man was the only one passing by, so he suspected that he had stolen it, and they had a disagreement, so they started fighting.
Zhong Ling'er was very happy to see that the middle-aged man beat Zhao Qingfeng and the other two so badly that their faces were bruised and swollen. Ye Qinglan was almost clapping and cheering. She pulled Bai Luochen aside to complain, and they talked for a whole cup of tea. Seeing that Zhao Qingfeng and the other two had completely lost their temper, she let Bai Luochen come to the three people who were fighting.
"This should be Fellow Daoist Yuanjia. I wonder if you can stop. Fighting is prohibited in Qiongxiao City." Bai Luochen actually recognized the big man and called out his name.
The onlookers exclaimed, although Yuan Jia was a casual cultivator, he was a master in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He had always been powerful and was a figure that many forces had been unable to win over.
When Zhao Qingfeng found out who this guy was, he knew he had hit a wall, and he immediately said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yuan. I have heard of your name for a long time. It was just a misunderstanding. I was reckless."
Yuan Jia said angrily: "You want to let the matter go just because you said it was a misunderstanding?"
Zhao Qingfeng twitched his lips, and immediately took out a storage ring and said, "No, this is a small apology, I hope you will accept it."
Yuanjia took the ring, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that he was very satisfied with this apology.
Zhong Ling'er suddenly spoke to the fat man and said, "Your senior brother gave it as an apology, what about yours?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Yuanjia looking at him fiercely, he immediately took out a storage ring and gave it to him. Then he glared at the talkative Zhong Ling'er, and scared her so much that she hid behind Bai Luochen.
Yuanjia received an extra compensation gift and was overjoyed. He thanked Bai Luochen, glanced at Zhong Ling'er, and then turned and left.
Bai Luochen patted the little sister's head and said to Zhao Qingfeng and the others, "According to the rules of Qiongxiao City, anyone who fights in the city will be expelled. Do you two want to go through the city gate or take the teleportation array?"
Zhao Qingfeng's face turned livid, but he refused to give in to Bai Luochen. Instead, he said coldly, "Bai Luochen, you're great. We'll remember what happened today. Let's see what happens."
Then he took the lead and walked towards the teleportation array. Bai Luochen was not angry, but followed slowly behind him until Zhao Qingfeng and the other two stood on the teleportation array. He then squeezed aside the disciple in charge of the teleportation array and said to them with a smile: "The teleportation fee is 200 spirit stones per person. Who will pay it?"
A sneer appeared on Zhao Qingfeng's lips, and he raised his hand and threw four hundred spirit stones on the ground.
The surrounding disciples all glared at him, but his insult or provocation failed to move Bai Luochen. He remained as gentle as jade, gently waved his hand, and the light of the teleportation array rose.
However, Zhong Ling'er noticed that the spirit stone thrown on the ground by Zhao Qingfeng had quietly moved. Under the interference of these spirit stones, the landing point of the teleportation array changed its position, moving horizontally by at least three thousand miles.
This wouldn’t be the case of teleporting people out of Dongzhou. The culprit must be Second Senior Brother. She likes this method.
When the two disappeared and the teleportation array returned to its original state, Zhong Ling'er deliberately glanced at the location of the spirit stones. Sure enough, the spiritual energy disappeared and turned into ash. The little girl raised her innocent smile and said, "Second Brother, did you do something bad?"
Bai Luochen raised his lips, "Junior sister, we are the same."
Ye Qinglan looked at her fellow brothers and sisters who were smiling strangely, feeling puzzled.
After returning to the sect, the two of them sent Ye Qinglan away. Bai Luochen asked, "Junior Sister, don't you have a jade slip? Why did you take Zhao Qingfeng's?"
Zhong Ling'er was puzzled, "How did Second Senior Brother know that his jade slip was with me?"
Bai Luochen said helplessly: "There is his aura on it. I felt it when I saw you and Junior Sister Ye, and I helped you cover it up. You don't have the cultivation base, and the things in the storage ring can't block the aura."
