"Is everything said in the notice true? Did that Rong Zi really steal Yun Qin's Crimson Flame Fruit?"
"That's right! I had a fellow Daoist who was there at the time. You have no idea just how outrageous Rong Zi was..."
The man spoke with great enthusiasm, gesturing wildly and expressing himself vividly.
It is said that Rong Zi not only stole Yun Qin's Crimson Flame Fruit, but also deliberately threw the Crimson Flame Fruit, which had been eaten down to only a pit, back to Yun Qin, causing a level four Crimson Wind Fire Rhinoceros to frantically attack Yun Qin and her group.
They were relentlessly pursued by the enraged Crimson Wind Fire Rhinoceros, fleeing in a sorry state until they finally escaped the boundaries of the Monster Forest.
After speaking, the man cleared his somewhat dry throat, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a big gulp.
"My God, a level four demonic beast? That's comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator! Rong Zi is trying to kill Yun Qin. How vicious of her!"
"I'm curious how Yun Qin dealt with the bitten Crimson Flame Fruit in the end."
"I don't know, but I heard she didn't throw it away or give it to anyone else."
"Yun Qin went to find the Crimson Flame Fruit in order to establish her foundation. I heard these past few days that she successfully established her foundation the day after she arrived in Yuntian City."
Another person slammed their hand on the table and declared definitively, "She ate it, she definitely ate it!"
"No way? Yun Qin is the personal junior sister of the Yao Huo Sect. Rong Zi even chewed up the Crimson Flame Fruit like that. How could she bring herself to eat it?"
"What can we do if we can't bring ourselves to eat it? It's a Crimson Flame Fruit, worth a fortune. Even if only a little bit of flesh is left, no one would be willing to throw it away."
"That's true..."
Gu Xiaochui sat next to Rong Zi, listening blankly to what the rogue cultivators had to say.
Is the Rong Zi they're talking about his master?
So, was it really his master who did the dog thing?
Rong Zi had already ordered the food. Gu Xiaochui glanced at her and saw that she was small and had a cute and innocent face. She was nothing like the wicked Lao Liu that the rogue cultivators had been talking about.
Impossible! Impossible!
Over the past few days, Gu Xiaochui's impression of Rong Zi has grown better and better.
Not only did she teach him secret techniques for free, but she also fed him all sorts of good things in various ways. She even gave him that high-level spirit sword without batting an eye, showing him no secrets whatsoever.
His master is such a good person, these people must be spreading rumors!
Besides, his master was only a minor Qi Refining stage cultivator. How could he possibly cause such a big blunder for the disciples of the Yao Huo Sect?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaochui rolled up his sleeves indignantly and made as if to get up. "Master, these people have gone too far. They actually slandered you like this behind your back. You wait, I will go and get justice for you right now."
Rong Zi slowly poured himself a cup of tea and nodded.
"Go, go! The opponent is nothing more than one Golden Core cultivator and three Foundation Establishment cultivators. You are a dignified Qi Refining cultivator. They will definitely not be your match. Your master is waiting for you to defeat them and return victorious."
Gu Xiaochui: "..."
He paused for a moment as he stood up, then awkwardly sat back down.
Gu Xiaochui picked up his teacup somewhat awkwardly and took a sip of tea. "Well, Grandpa Village Chief said, 'A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.' Once my cultivation surpasses theirs, I will definitely help Master get justice for today."
The people at that table were still chatting.
"Have you heard? There's an auction at the Cloud Sky Auction House tonight. I heard that the Yao Huo Sect and the Mu Lin Sect, two of the five major sects, will be sending their personal disciples to participate. Do you want to go and join in the fun?"
"Of course I'll go. It's not easy to meet the direct disciples of the five major sects..."
Rong Zi listened to their conversation and subtly raised an eyebrow.
After dinner, she and Gu Xiaochui discreetly checked into an inn.
In the inn's room.
Rong Zi pasted a few talismans on the door before pulling Gu Xiaochui into the Hongmeng Ring and heading straight for the spiritual chamber under the Tree of Life.
Gu Xiaochui's mind went blank the moment he entered the Hongmeng Ring.
He suspected that Rong Zi's ring was no ordinary object. After all, even the golden jade she gave him was extraordinary; it could not only store living things, but its interior space was also ridiculously large.
But Gu Xiaochui never expected that Rong Zi's storage ring would be even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
An endless expanse of space, lush green vegetation, and a gently flowing stream...
Especially that mountain of books!
Gu Xiaochui gasped.
What kind of sect did he join?!
Upon entering the spiritual chamber, Gu Xiaochui, still reeling from the shock, nearly collapsed to the ground from the overwhelming spiritual energy.
"Master, what brings you here? I've already broken through my cultivation level and was just about to go out to find you." Yun Jing greeted Rong Zi with a look of delight as soon as he saw her enter.
He paused for a moment when he noticed Gu Xiaochui following behind Rong Zi.
"Why did he come along too?"
Upon seeing the golden jade pendant hanging around Gu Xiaochui's neck, Yun Jing understood.
I didn't expect my master to handle him so quickly.
Rong Zi rubbed Yun Jing's head and said, "It's not advisable for you to go out right now. You should stay here. It's always good to work hard on your cultivation."
Yuntian City is a mixed bag of people, so it's best for Yun Jing to stay out of the sight of outsiders.
Yun Jing lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, "Okay."
"Come on, let me formally introduce you." Rong Zi pulled both sides to introduce them. "This is your junior brother, Gu Xiaochui, and this is your senior brother, Yun Jing. From now on, you two brothers should get along well, cultivate diligently, and make progress together."
