When Sheng Ning came down from the mountain, he saw his senior brothers struggling with Shi Yueyao.
His brow twitched sharply.
Before she could even step forward, Yu Ye exclaimed, "Don't touch me!"
Shi Yueyao seemed quite shocked by the change in her senior brothers' attitudes towards her.
When Sheng Ning leaned closer, she saw that the woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she pointed at Sheng Ning's face, gritting her teeth and sobbing, "Is it because of her?"
Sheng Ning: What kind of melodramatic soap opera plot is this?
She pointed to herself, looking puzzled. "What's wrong with me?"
All she did was say a few bad things about the other person and curse at them.
But wasn't everything she said the truth?
Shi Yueyao's eyes were completely red, her affectionate eyes brimming with tears, as if she could burst into tears with just a blink.
Fortunately, not many cultivators came from the foot of Chongwu Mountain, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to explain herself even if she jumped into the Yangtze River.
Seeing Sheng Ning's innocent look, Shi Yueyao felt both angry and aggrieved.
"You must have been talking badly about me to my senior brothers, otherwise why would they dislike me?"
Shi Yueyao was spoiled and believed that everyone in the world should treat her unconditionally well.
Calling her a naive and innocent girl is an understatement.
Sheng Ning's eyes twitched violently upon hearing her words. "You think the responsibility for your senior brothers treating you badly is entirely mine?"
"You must pee in your house even if you don't have a mirror, right? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you have eight legs or four arms to attract the attention of your fellow disciples?"
"So you think you're the boss of the whole world? Why don't you go into the mountains and ask those monsters if they're willing to give you face and not come because of you?"
Sheng Ning speaks too fast.
So much so that Shi Yueyao couldn't find an opening to interject.
After she finished speaking, tears welled up in Shi Yueyao's eyes and were about to fall.
The next second, tears streamed down her face.
"How can you, a woman, speak so rudely?"
Sheng Ning immediately grinned, her lips drooping, "Oh, oh, oh, how can I, a woman, speak so rudely?"
"Not only am I being vulgar, but I'm also calling you an idiot, an ingrate, a brainless idiot, using my senior brother as a stepping stone, bah!"
Aside from Lu Qing'an, this was the first time Lu Jingshen and the other two had ever seen Sheng Ning criticize Shi Yueyao.
They only knew that Sheng Ning and Shi Yueyao didn't get along, but they didn't expect her to be so righteous and even help them vent their anger.
Yu also took out a spiritual fruit from his mustard seed bag and handed it to Sheng Ning with a smile.
"Junior sister, you must be tired of scolding. Here, have a spiritual fruit to quench your thirst."
Sheng Ning took the spirit fruit, took a bite, and continued her shrewish rant.
During this time, she truly witnessed how stupid and wicked Shi Yueyao was.
It was fortunate that Lu Qing'an and the others were sober; otherwise, if they had focused all their attention on Shi Yueyao as they did in the book, she probably would have used her Gatling gun on them.
When Shi Yueyao saw that she had been scolded by Sheng Ning like this, not only did her senior brothers not stand up for her, but they even gave Sheng Ning spiritual fruits.
Overwhelmed by the shock, tears streamed down her face.
"Senior brother, Yueyao really knows she was wrong."
Seeing that her gaze remained fixed on the spiritual fruit in her hand, Sheng Ning sneered and asked, "What did you do wrong?"
Shi Yueyao, who had never been harassed before, froze for a moment, then stammered, "I am a disciple of the Invincible Sect, I shouldn't... I shouldn't keep running to the Taixu Sect."
Thinking she would be scolded by Sheng Ning again, Shi Yueyao took a deep breath and prepared herself for the scolding.
But then Sheng Ning raised his head and gestured with his chin toward the person behind her, "Fellow Daoist Qin, did you hear that?"
"As long as she doesn't leave the Invincible Sect, she will always be a disciple of the Invincible Sect."
"You all fawn over my senior sister all day long, where do you put the dignity of my Invincible Sect?"
Today, the Taixu Sect is led by Qin Chuan.
A group of disciples from major sects had just arrived, all smiles, when Sheng Ning poured cold water on their enthusiasm.
Shi Yueyao's attention remained focused on Lu Qing'an and the others.
She had hoped that after this apology, the previous issues would be forgotten.
After that, she could continue to run to the Taixu Sect and continue to reap benefits from both sides.
Little did she know that when she said those words, the disciples of the Taixu Sect were right behind her.
In an instant, Shi Yueyao's face turned deathly pale.
The disciples of the Taixu Sect also changed their gazes towards Shi Yueyao.
They have always liked Shi Yueyao.
It wasn't just because Shi Yueyao instilled in them a strong protective instinct, making them want to give her the best of everything in the world.
It was also because she always came to the Taixu Sect to cry and complain about how terrible her sect was, and they took pity on her, which was why they were kind to her.
It seems that they've been overly romanticizing Shi Yueyao.
Perhaps Shi Yueyao isn't as good as they imagine?
Shi Yueyao glanced at Qin Chuan, who was leading the team, and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed. She panicked and moved closer to him, wanting to explain to him.
Unfortunately, Sheng Ning didn't give her that chance.
"The morning rush is about to begin. If you run off, how will you protect me?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yueyao's eyes widened instantly. "You!"
She witnessed Sheng Ning hunt down a Foundation Establishment Level 2 demon beast by herself yesterday; her strength far surpasses hers.
But she wants her to protect her?
Sheng Ning seemed to see through her thoughts, and she smiled, revealing a small tiger tooth. "As you said yesterday, Senior Sister, it's impossible for me to hunt a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast."
"I'm a useless person with five elemental spiritual roots. In order for me to successfully become a cultivator, I'll have to trouble you today, Senior Sister."
Yesterday, Shi Yueyao used the core given to her by the Taixu Sect to cultivate tirelessly through the night, and has now barely broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
