Everyone present was taken aback and subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.
However, the moment everyone looked up, a white longsword gleaming with spiritual light suddenly slashed through the air, heading straight for the binding formation with fierce momentum.
The sword blade pierced fiercely into the barrier of the formation.
With a loud 'bang', the sound of the formation shattering rang out.
The binding formation, which was powerful enough to trap a Golden Core cultivator, vanished into thin air like a balloon that could be punctured at any moment.
While everyone was still stunned, Rong Zi had already put away the white sword that Xiu'er had turned into, and together with Gu Xiaochui, they quickly rushed to Yun Jing's side.
Rong Zi looked down at Yun Jing's small face, frowned and asked, "Are you alright?"
The moment Yun Jing saw her, his eyes instantly turned red.
He reached out his little hand and grabbed Rong Zi's clothes, tilted his head back, pouted his lips with a wronged look, and sobbed, "Senior... Senior Sister, I miss you so much. I thought I would never see you again."
It's been six days.
He had not seen his master for six consecutive days.
He had never been away from his master for such a long time since he started following him.
He was still just a child under ten years old.
Even the strongest person will habitually rely on the people closest to them.
After entering the secret realm six days ago and discovering that he had been separated from Rong Zi, Yun Jing couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Fortunately, he soon encountered Ran Yue and Mu Ting, who had also been separated from their sect.
Seeing that Yun Jing was so young and his cultivation level was not high, and considering that he had once saved their junior brother's life, Ran Yue and Mu Ting were worried that he might get into trouble alone in this secret realm, so they took the initiative to bring him with them.
During these six days, Yun Jing did not encounter any danger under their protection.
But Yun Jing felt very uncomfortable without Rong Zi by her side.
He appeared extremely reserved in front of these two older sisters he wasn't very familiar with, and he kept hoping to see Rong Zi as soon as possible.
Six days passed, but he still couldn't see his beloved master.
Moreover, he was trapped by the Yao Huo Sect members, who threatened to capture him.
The other side had the advantage in both numbers and strength over him and his two older sisters. Although he remained calm throughout, he was actually quite frightened.
He was afraid that he would really be captured by these bad guys.
They were even more afraid that they would never see their master again.
When Rong Zi saw Yun Jing's red eyes, her heart tightened.
She quickly bent down and cupped his little face in her hands, gently rubbing the corner of his wet eyes with the pad of her thumb, and coaxed him softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully you."
This was the first time Gu Xiaochui had ever seen Yun Jing cry.
He frowned and glanced coldly at Qin Ziteng and his group opposite him.
They even bully little kids!
That's shameless!
Gu Xiaochui wasn't good at comforting children. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently patted Yun Jingxiao's shoulder twice to soothe her.
Yun Jing glanced at him.
Remembering his identity, he quickly sniffed and raised his little hand to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand. "I didn't cry, I just accidentally got sand in my eyes."
He's the senior student.
A senior student should act like a senior student.
How can a senior brother cry in front of a junior brother?
Rong Zi and Gu Xiaochui listened to his stubborn words but did not expose him.
Rong Zi rubbed his little head and chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's all the sand's fault. How could a strong little man like you possibly cry?"
“That’s right.” Yun Jing straightened his back, clenched his little fist, and nodded. “A real man never sheds tears.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Ran Yue and Mu Ting beside him, and said to Rong Zi, "These past few days, thanks to these two older sisters, I was able to see you safely."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi looked at Ran Yue and Mu Ting with gratitude and clasped his hands in a fist salute to them.
"I will never thank you enough. I will remember your kindness. Once we leave the secret realm, please feel free to make any requests. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to fulfill them."
The original work does not describe Shui Yuanzong's personal teachings in much detail.
All I know is that this is a sect where everyone from the sect leader to the disciples is a woman.
That's why she was surprised when she learned in the Monster Forest that Zhu Haohao was actually a direct disciple of the Shuiyuan Sect.
This is a female-centric novel. Apart from the female lead Yun Qin, none of the female characters in the original work are outstanding; they are basically all stepping stones for the female lead.
She remembered that in the original story, the direct disciples of the Shuiyuan Sect only appeared during the grand competition of sects in the cultivation world.
Of course, they lost to Yun Qin in the competition.
It was just a few minor characters who appeared in less than a single chapter.
Ran Yue waved her hand.
"It was nothing. You saved our junior brother in the Monster Forest before, and this is our way of repaying your life-saving grace back then."
Mu Ting nodded in agreement, "My second senior sister is right. You two are junior brother's benefactors, so there's no need to be so polite with us."
Across from them, Qin Ziteng and Yun Qin's group looked at Rong Zi, who completely ignored them, each with an incredulous expression on their face.
They actually managed to easily shatter the formation they had set up together with just one strike.
Moreover, if they weren't mistaken, Rong Zi's sword strike had precisely located the core of the formation.
There wasn't a single unnecessary movement.
One move breaks the formation.
But... how is that possible?
Rong Ziming is clearly just an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator!
Could it be that she also knows about formations?
No, no, no!
impossible!
coincide!
It must be a coincidence!
How could a Qi Refining stage cultivator with mixed spiritual roots possibly have such talent?
Qin Ziteng shook off his thoughts, squinted, took two steps forward, and stared intently at Rong Zi in front of him.
"It's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.' Now that you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, it saves us the trouble of searching for you again. You're doomed today."
Rong Zi tilted her head and asked Gu Xiaochui beside her.
"Did you hear that? It sounds like a dog barking."
Gu Xiaochui twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded in agreement.
"I heard it, and it was a pretty awful cry."
Qin Ziteng was stunned for a moment before he realized that Rong Zi was cursing him.
His face turned ashen with rage, and he pointed his sword at her, shouting, "Rong Zi, are you courting death?"
Yun Qin stepped forward with a cold expression, her gaze towards Rong Zi filled with condemnation.
“Rong Zi, no matter what, the Qin family raised you for so many years. It’s one thing for you to be ungrateful, but you even repay kindness with enmity. From the Demon Beast Forest onwards, you have been targeting me and my second senior brother at every turn. From the Crimson Wind Fire Rhinoceros to the Fire Crow this time, you have always wanted to kill us.”
"Don't you feel any remorse or guilt for doing these things?"
