Sheng Ning and his companions had just returned to the Invincible Sect when they did not immediately go to find their master, Mo Jingchun.
She sent Bai Ze aside to pee and play in the mud, while she glanced at her second senior brother, who shrank back and silently pulled Su Daiyuan and the other three to her side.
Beside the camellia trees planted by the Invincible Sect, Bai Ze glanced down at the water ladle in his hand and the well beside him...
Does Sheng Ning really think of him as a three- or five-year-old child?
He is a divine beast, the Bai Ze, a divine beast that lives as long as the heavens.
Why would someone play with something that three- to five-year-olds like to play with?!
He kicked the water ladle out of his hand, glanced at the departing figures of Sheng Ning and the others, and snorted softly.
"If you won't let me play, I'll go play by myself!"
Chirp, nestled in his arms, immediately perked up, "Chirp!"
Bai Ze took it out of his pocket and threw it on the ground, saying, "There's nothing fun here. Point the way."
After being favored by Sheng Ning for so long, Qiuqiu experienced a sense of loss as soon as she returned to her master's side.
The poor little branch fell to the ground, its vines pointing him in a direction.
Bai Ze looked in the direction it pointed, and finally picked up the twig and put it back in his pocket.
"Uh... well, thanks."
Bai Ze suddenly coughed lightly and thanked her, leaving Qiu Qiu somewhat bewildered.
Its vines swayed in the air, and when it saw its owner turn its head, its ears turning slightly red, the small branches immediately went limp like noodles, chirping softly.
Before it could finish speaking, Bai Ze glared at it, "Don't say such cheesy things like 'I like you'! If it weren't for Sheng Ning saying we should be polite..."
The words Sheng Ning had said that day suddenly popped into my mind.
She said, 'Children need to be polite to be liked...'
"Who cares if they like me! Oh wait, I'm not a child! Why should I be polite?!"
Bai Ze stomped his feet in anger.
It's a pity Sheng Ning wasn't there, otherwise she would have ruffled his hair and praised him for being cute.
Bai Ze's ears were so hot they could cook an egg. He clenched his fists tightly, immediately banished the thoughts from his mind, and quickly headed in the direction Qiu Qiu had pointed.
-
In Shengning Courtyard.
As soon as Sheng Ning returned to his courtyard, he sat down at the stone table, clasped his hands together, and looked at his senior brothers in front of him.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Second Brother, you go first."
Su Daiyuan and the others were still unaware of what had happened.
Upon hearing that Lu Qing'an had been named, all four of them turned their attention to him.
Lu Qing'an felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at. He looked up and met Sheng Ning's scrutinizing gaze, and said with a forced smile, "Junior Sister, taking a step back will open up a whole new world."
"Hmph, you won't tell me, huh? Then I'll..." Sheng Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Daiyuan and the others.
The latter all looked completely bewildered, unable to understand what they were saying at all.
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you," Lu Qing'an covered her mouth and turned to look at Su Daiyuan and the others.
Facing the questioning gazes of the group, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stamped his foot, saying, "Junior Sister knows I've been reborn."
"Hey, so it was Junior Sister who knew you were reborn. I thought you joined a demon clan and got together with a demon cultivator..." Yu also 'sighed', and before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.
"What did you just say? What does Junior Sister know about you?" Lu Jingshen frowned.
Sheng Ning is both intelligent and bold.
She would find out sooner or later that all the disciples of the Invincible Sect had been reborn.
But to their surprise, she found out so quickly.
Su Daiyuan and the others looked at Sheng Ning with complicated expressions.
The latter snorted and was about to ask them why they hadn't said so earlier, otherwise she would have killed Shi Yueyao first, even if she was hunted down by everyone in the Taixu Sect.
Instead of leaving Shi Yueyao alive until now, which has become a future problem.
"You could endure having your sect wiped out in your past life? Senior brothers, you must be ninjas, right?"
As soon as Sheng Ning finished speaking, she felt her sleeve being tugged.
Yu Ye's face suddenly came closer, magnifying in front of her.
"Your senior brothers didn't mean to hide it from you."
Guan Yunchuan also put aside his usual sullen mood and was unusually talkative today.
"The Invincible Sect only has one junior sister, you. If anyone else comes, we will only recognize you."
Lu Qing'an pursed her lips, her face full of unease.
“In our past life, we misjudged people and were harmed by Shi Yueyao. But don’t worry, Aning, your senior brothers know your character and will definitely not abandon you.”
The reason they were afraid to reveal that they were reborn was because they were afraid that she would treat them so well after she found out that they were reborn, and that she would mistakenly think that they were a substitute for Shi Yueyao.
Then, in a fit of anger, he left the sect and ran away.
Looking at her several uneasy senior brothers, and even Su Daiyuan with a solemn expression, Sheng Ning suddenly chuckled.
She raised her hand and patted them lightly on the head, then laughed and said, "Either of you two could walk down the street and be praised as unparalleled geniuses by the world."
“Cultivation is as simple as drinking water for you.”
"Why can't you see things clearly at a time like this?"
Seeing them standing there one by one, Sheng Ning smiled brightly, "I have never thought of leaving the Invincible Sect, let alone misunderstood myself as a replacement for Shi Yueyao."
“I am who I am. If I had known earlier that my senior brothers were harmed by Shi Yueyao in their previous lives, I would have killed Shi Yueyao beforehand.”
A soft sigh escaped her lips. "Unfortunately, the timing isn't right. Shi Yueyao is probably not easy to kill now."
Seeing her shrug helplessly, Lu Qing'an immediately reached out and slapped her palm. "She's just a Golden Core cultivator, isn't she easy to kill? Once she's out, we'll go to the Taixu Sect and demand her release."
Sheng Ning blinked and smiled, "Alright, then I'll go with my senior brothers to find Shi Yueyao."
"I'll also have new toys then, which will definitely surprise everyone!"
She winked at her senior brothers, her bright little face beaming with a wide smile.
Once the matter was discussed openly, the fellow disciples decided to eliminate Shi Yueyao before she fully matured.
Otherwise, given the unpredictable nature of Shi Yueyao, if they were to try to take action again, they would likely suffer some hardship.
However, compared to eliminating Shi Yueyao...
They were clearly more interested in the 'new toy' that their junior sister was talking about.
Guan Yunchuan had witnessed the intricate design of the Gatling gun and also seen how a small landmine, though tiny, possessed immense power.
Sheng Ning was keeping him in suspense by not showing him the new toy, which made him a little anxious.
"Five hundred high-grade spirit stones. Junior sister, show your fifth senior brother what the new toy looks like in private."
Regarding Yun Chuan's violation of the rules, Yu Ye and the others also took out their mustard bags.
Before Sheng Ning could refuse, the group heard a muffled thunderclap explode in their ears.
"It's thunder from Master's courtyard."
"Has Master left the courtyard again?"
"Go check if the old man's been chopped up. His skin is so delicate, how many more times can he withstand that?"
