Shi Yueyao did not know where Sheng Ning and the others lived.
Fortunately, the five disciples were quite conspicuous. After asking them a few questions, she learned that they had been staying in a dilapidated temple at the foot of the mountain for the past few days.
Upon hearing this, she frowned slightly, feeling that the Invincible Sect had once again embarrassed her.
The Invincible Sect is small, but it is still richer than most sects.
Sheng Ning is ignorant, and even Lu Qing'an doesn't know how to spend money to stay in ordinary people's homes?
Lu Qing'an and his group didn't stay in ordinary people's homes; instead, they chose temporary accommodations in locations with the richest spiritual energy.
Before Shi Yueyao even stepped into the dilapidated temple, she sensed a rich spiritual energy entering her body.
It was a completely different experience from dining in restaurants in the city.
They were shocked by how lucky Sheng Ning and his group of five were to have chosen such a blessed place.
Just as she stepped into the dilapidated temple, she heard someone approach her like a ghost and whisper in her ear.
"Oh, what a rare guest!"
"ah--!!!"
The person behind her appeared so suddenly that Shi Yueyao didn't even sense their presence.
The sudden sound of voices startled her, causing her pupils to shrink and her to jump up on the spot.
Lu Qingan picked at his ear, looking impatient. "Why aren't you staying at the Taixu Sect? What are you doing here?"
“Our little temple can’t accommodate such a big Buddha as you.” Yu also nodded in agreement.
"She wants the core of a demon beast." Guan Yunchuan bluntly exposed Shi Yueyao's purpose for coming.
Even if Shi Yueyao is stupid, being ridiculed like this by her senior brothers who used to dote on her should make her realize what she did to make them dislike her.
She bit her lower lip tightly, stood at the door, and glanced at her senior brothers' faces with a wronged expression.
Finally, she turned her gaze to her fifth senior brother, Guan Yunchuan, whom she had always been on good terms with.
"Fifth Senior Brother, you know I never fight or snatch. This time, Junior Sister stole the core of the Taixu Sect. The Taixu Sect will definitely not let her off easily."
"I'm doing this for my junior sister's own good. If you don't want to return it all, half... or even 30% is fine too."
Guan Yunchuan ignored her.
There weren't many late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, but the disciples of the Taixu Sect worked together to kill nearly a hundred.
Shi Yueyao couldn't imagine what kind of Sheng Ning she would see tomorrow or the day after if he refined all these cores by himself.
I felt a bit resentful.
If Sheng Ning hadn't failed to join the Invincible Sect, all these cores would now belong to her.
Both sects dote on her, so if she takes half to refine, the Taixu Sect certainly won't say anything.
And now those cores have all fallen into Sheng Ning's hands.
His hands were clenched into fists, his neatly trimmed nails digging deep into the soft flesh of his palms.
The detachment commander Yueyao dared not act childishly as before.
During this time, her senior brothers completely changed. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, she would be expelled from the Invincible Sect.
She didn't even get to taste a single spiritual fruit from the area behind her fifth senior brother's courtyard.
Sheng Ning was refining the core with his third senior brother, Lu Jingshen.
She could smell the fragrance of cosmetics from a great distance.
Upon seeing Shi Yueyao's figure, she had already guessed that the other party would definitely not be able to sit still, and she sneered inwardly.
Having handed over the core components to Lu Jingshen, Sheng Ning finally appeared gracefully under Shi Yueyao's expectant gaze.
As if she had just seen the other person, Sheng Ning exclaimed, "Oh, what a rare guest!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yueyao nearly vomited blood from anger.
She always went to the Taixu Sect, so her senior brothers gradually stopped liking her, and they let it go after what they said to her earlier.
Who does Sheng Ning think he is, daring to speak to her like that?
With a slightly darkened expression, Shi Yueyao adopted the demeanor of a senior sister, "Junior sister, how can you be so disrespectful of the rules?"
Sheng Ning raised her eyebrows, feeling inexplicably accused of being unruly.
Then the other party spoke again in a deep voice.
"You've been in the Taixu Sect for so many years, you should have learned a lot of rules. Is this how the Taixu Sect teaches you to respect your senior sister?"
Sheng Ning immediately understood.
She wanted to tell Lu Qing'an and the others that she had once been a disciple of the Taixu Sect, and she even wanted him to kneel down and kowtow three times before handing over the core to her with both hands.
He's not particularly good-looking, but he has some pretty grand ideas.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning grinned and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Senior Sister. I lived a life of uncertainty in the Taixu Sect, and no one taught me manners."
After saying that, she tilted her head and asked Shi Yueyao, "Isn't Senior Sister the same? She has her own home but she always runs to the neighbor's house."
"My senior sister said I was unruly, but she sided with other sects. You can't just side with outsiders like that."
Fallacy!
Shi Yueyao had never heard such a twisted and absurd argument before.
She was almost never scolded growing up.
Everything changed because of Sheng Ning.
Looking around at her fellow disciples standing in the temple, Shi Yueyao's eyes immediately reddened. "But you did steal the core of the Taixu Sect. Tell me, fellow disciples, am I wrong?"
That's true.
But yesterday, Gu Zhuo brazenly and shamelessly claimed that he was the one who hunted the monster core that Sheng Ning had stolen.
Is it wrong for them to retaliate today?
Should small sects be bullied by large sects?
Lu Qing'an and his ilk are not saints; they are extremely protective of their own.
If Shi Yueyao hadn't betrayed the Invincible Sect and had stayed with them, they would have been willing to kill Gu Zhuo and his gang today.
She is still a disciple of the Invincible Sect, yet she keeps mentioning the Taixu Sect to them.
For a moment, the atmosphere around Lu Qing'an and the others became much heavier.
However, Shi Yueyao did not sense it.
She was determined to stand up for the Taixu Sect. Once she got all the cores back, she would use them to apologize to Senior Brother Qin, and she thought she could get a share of the cores in return.
