The female cultivators from Baihua were delighted to see this scene. After a moment of stunned silence, they suddenly burst into laughter, and the noise was so loud that it drove away many of the onlookers.
The most arrogant of them all was the oval-faced female cultivator with a cross-bun. She mocked Luo Zhan in a shrill voice, "Oh, that slap was really loud. But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of herbs here, including those for reducing swelling and relieving pain. If you feel uncomfortable, don't be embarrassed. Just ask me."
After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled, and the other people from Baihua beside her also joined in the laughter. Song Chengming was already frightened enough, and after the other party's commotion, he held Luo Zhan's arm even tighter.
He was afraid that Luo Zhan would be really enraged and would disown his family and settle accounts with Tu Nian. He was even more afraid that Tu Nian would disregard Luo Zhan's face and say something harsh to add fuel to the fire.
However, Tu Nian was exceptionally calm. He ignored the people from Baihua and bowed directly to Luo Zhan, saying, "I had no intention of offending you, but due to the urgency of the situation, I have to apologize to you. I hope you can put the overall situation first."
Song Chengming was inevitably a little surprised by this, but in fact, Tu Nian was calm from beginning to end and she knew what she was doing.
The slap was not pretty. If it wasn't an emergency, she would never have done it.
The competition has clear regulations. In order to prevent malicious interference with participating disciples from other sects under the pretext of conflicts, participating sects are not allowed to fight for any reason other than participating in the competition. If anyone violates the regulations, a large number of points will be deducted from the sect immediately and the fighters will be disqualified from the competition.
The other party's blatant provocation was obviously intended to use the rules. If she didn't slap him and let Luo Zhan take action, that would really play into the other party's hands, causing the entire sect to be defeated before the battle even started, which would definitely not be worth it.
Besides, since there is such a restriction, the other party has not taken any action either. The two sides have only had a verbal dispute at most. Even if the words are harsh, no one will suffer any loss. So what?
Luo Zhan obviously understood this, but he inevitably lost his rationality when he was angry. Now that he had been hit, he became much more sober. In addition, Tu Nian deliberately gave him a way out, so he went along with it.
"It's okay, I'm too impulsive."
He put the magic weapon back, took a deep breath, and said to Tu Nian seriously, "Thank you."
Seeing that the two were fine, Song Chengming, who had been worried, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He let go of Luo Zhan's arm and bumped fists with him helplessly, "You really scared me to death."
"Brother Zhan..."
Qin An had been frightened earlier, but now that the atmosphere had calmed down, he quickly came over and held Luo Zhan's hand, saying fearfully, "Let's go. I don't want the elixir anymore. If they like it, give it to them."
Tu Nian looked at the girl with relief.
Luo Zhan was so excited, it must be because she had been wronged. She was willing to endure it for a while, which was undoubtedly to give Luo Zhan a way out so that he would not get stuck in the dead end of being a hero saving the beauty. He was so smart and sensible, which showed that the slap Luo Zhan received was not in vain.
"As for spiritual medicine... I just saw a stall selling them. The prices are pretty reasonable. Why don't you go check it out?"
Tu Nian took the initiative to invite, and his meaning was very clear: Don’t get involved in other people’s business, just go and enjoy your own life.
"OK."
How could Qin An not understand, so he responded readily.
Among the four people, it goes without saying what the two ladies said meant, and Song Chengming and Luo Zhan had no choice but to obey.
The onlookers were so smart. Seeing that the problem was solved with a slap and a few words in the Snow Valley and the country returned to a harmonious state, it was obvious that they would not care about Baihua anymore. Everyone was bored with the excitement and soon dispersed.
Seeing this development, the Baihua people were momentarily at a loss. They had used this kind of trick before, especially the younger contestants, who were more vulnerable.
After a series of scoundrel and harsh words, they were almost always successful. Under their tactics, only a few people could hold back. Where have they ever met someone who did not fight back and allowed himself to be bullied?
"Sister Ruoruo, what should we do?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Gong Ruoruo pursed her lips and half-closed her eyes, "Wait, they must want to wait for the crowd to disperse before taking action."
"Ah?" Several female cultivators were momentarily frightened upon hearing this. "If that person disperses, what will happen if those burly guys really start fighting and get hurt?"
"You're all afraid of this and that. Why don't you just go back to the sect?"
Baihua's disciples were obviously very afraid of Gong Ruoruo. She angrily slapped these words, and immediately no one dared to mention it anymore.
Choosing a random disciple, Gong Ruoruo said, "Go and tell the witness to keep watch. If he sees a fight happening on the other side, call for help."
"Yes." The man was afraid of angering her, so he didn't dare to ask anything. He lowered his head, answered, and quickly went to find someone.
Gong Ruoruo turned her gaze back confidently, revealing that contemptuous look again, trying to make the other person see her.
Her idea was simple: wait for the crowd to disperse, grab evidence of those violating the rules, and then go find the next group. However, to their surprise, as the crowd gradually dispersed, Tu Nian and the other three turned around and planned to just follow the flow of people and leave.
This time even Gong Ruoruo was stunned.
Without any conspiracy or plan, these people just left like that? Do they have any self-respect?
"this……"
Seeing that several people were about to merge into the crowd and disappear, someone was pushed out to be a suicide squad member, "Sister Ruoruo, should we just continue to wait like this?"
Gong Ruoruo's face was gloomy. She glared at the man fiercely. When she turned around, she walked straight towards Tu Nian and the others. "Pretending to be calm, huh? I'm going to make you reveal your true colors."
