Chapter 14: Millennium Dragon Blood Stone



But now, looking at Zhao Yanran's aggrieved look, Wu Yan's heart was burning with anger. Wasn't Chu Heng the brother of Junior Sister Yanran? How could he blame Junior Sister Yanran in front of so many people?

Wu Yan only felt a surge of blood in his heart. As expected, at this moment, Junior Sister Yanran was the only one she could rely on.

Wu Yan cast a reassuring look at Zhao Yanran, and then said loudly to Sheng He: "Junior Sister Yanran has given me that piece of hemp rope. If you want it, I'll give it to you!"

Zhao Yanran's eyes flickered. Seeing that everyone was still staring at her, she involuntarily hid behind Chu Heng.

Sheng He had forgotten about Wu Yan, her lackey. She stood up, looked at Wu Yan's arrogant look, and held the bracelet tightly in front of everyone with an expressionless face.

"This bracelet was given to me by Junior Sister Zhao as an apology for my wrongdoing. My family is poor, so I gave Junior Sister Zhao this thing made by my widowed mother to show my appreciation."

"On the flying boat, Junior Sister Zhao promised me to keep it well, but she turned around and gave it to someone else. If Junior Sister Zhao looked down on Sheng He, she could have just said so. There's no need to humiliate me like this!"

Wu Yan's face changed drastically, and he quickly explained: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a piece of broken hemp rope. You said it was woven by your mother? Who knows if you are..."

"shut up!"

Chu Heng shouted loudly, releasing the pressure of the Jindan period. Wu Yan immediately felt as if his body was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, and almost knelt down on the spot.

Chu Heng looked at Zhao Yanran who kept hiding behind him and didn't want to say anything. He seriously pulled her to Sheng He and asked, "What's the matter with the apology for the slip of the tongue?"

Sheng He raised his head stubbornly and stuffed the jade bracelet into Zhao Yanran's arms.

"When Qingyun Sect was recruiting disciples in Qingshan City, I knew that I didn't have good aptitude, but I still wanted to give it a try. But Junior Sister Zhao openly mocked my talent of five spiritual roots. I might as well jump off the flying boat on the spot to avoid being laughed at."

"Brother Chu, I know you all look down on me, but do I have no qualifications to practice Taoism?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the disciples present changed.

After all, those who come here to receive spirit stones include not only direct disciples, but also inner disciples, outer disciples and menial disciples. In terms of talent, how many people here can compare to Zhao Yanran?

Zhao Yanran looks down on those with five spiritual roots, so does that mean she can look down on those with three or four spiritual roots?

"Oh, Senior Brother Li, you'd better send me the spirit stones quickly so that I can go back and practice earlier. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at!"

"That's right. I want to ask my mother why she didn't give me a single spiritual root. We are all in Qingyun Sect, so why do we look down on others?"

Listening to the discussions of his disciples, Chu Heng's face turned pale. He was an upright person and would never allow anyone to flatter the powerful and bully the weak in the sect.

But now, the person who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak is actually his own junior sister.

Chu Heng was about to explode when he saw Zhao Yanran raising her watery eyes and looking at him pitifully.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean it. I shouldn't have said that about Senior Sister Sheng He, and I shouldn't have given Senior Sister Sheng He's beloved thing to Wu Yan. But the rumor really wasn't spread by me, and I don't know what happened."

"Brother, I know I was wrong, I will definitely change in the future, please forgive me."

Looking at Zhao Yanran's delicate and pitiful appearance, Chu Heng sighed heavily.

Forget it, Yanran is still young after all. What's more, since Master Xuanxiao has already accepted her, he can't expel her from the sect. I can just teach her well in the future.

Chu Heng took out a foundation-building pill from his storage bag and handed it to Sheng He.

"This is all Junior Sister Yanran's fault. This foundation-building pill should be regarded as my gift on behalf of Junior Sister Yanran..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop it!"

Mu Yao finally finished watching this wonderful show while eating melon seeds. After taking the Pure Heart Pill, her mind was now extremely clear. She could tell at a glance that it was this Junior Sister Yanran who directed and acted in this show to slander her little Sheng He.

Now seeing Chu Heng actually bringing the elixir to apologize, Mu Yao was even more furious.

Are you kidding? When it comes to delivering pills, she is the professional, right?

Mu Yao took out several bottles of pills from her sleeves and stuffed them into Sheng He's arms.

"Here, Foundation Building Pill, Yuan Hui Pill, Heart Purifying Pill, and Qi Gathering Pill."

"And this, the Explosive Flame Pill, I stole it from my master. Throw one on the head of someone you dislike, and I guarantee that he will never dare to appear in front of you again!"

After delivering the pills, Mu Yao raised her eyebrows at Chu Heng with a smug look on her face.

"Brother Chu, my Junior Sister Sheng has suffered such a great injustice, do you think you can just give her a Foundation Establishment Pill and let it go?"

Chu Heng's hand hidden under his sleeve moved slightly. This seemed to be the first time he saw Mu Yao being so intimate with someone else, but he still suppressed the urge to ask, and still had a gentle smile on his face.

"Since A Yao has already given you the elixir, I will give this to you. Junior Sister Yan Ran is still young and ignorant, so just think of it as me, her senior brother, apologizing to you on her behalf."

Chu Heng opened his palm, and a translucent stone emitting a faint cold light appeared in his palm.

"This is……"

"Thousand-year-old dragon blood stone! Ordinary dragon blood stone is red, and only the best quality dragon blood stone will emit a cold light."

Mu Yao bumped Sheng He's arm and whispered, "This is a rare treasure for refining weapons. If you refine your own natal sword in the future, you might need it. Why don't you take it quickly?"

Sheng He pursed her lips and did not rush to accept the dragon blood stone. Instead, she looked at Chu Heng seriously.

"Brother Chu, Sheng He knows that his words are not taken seriously, and he is not insisting on this dragon blood stone. All Sheng He wants is justice."

"On the way from Jianfeng to the Discipline Department today, many disciples pointed fingers at me. I don't know what I did wrong to deserve such humiliation. You said that Junior Sister Zhao is still young, but I am the same age as her this year."

Chu Heng nodded and said gently, "Junior Sister Sheng, I know you feel wronged. Don't worry, I will check the source of the rumor."

Chu Heng said, and suddenly turned to face all the disciples, saying loudly: "I hope all the junior brothers and sisters will take this as a warning and not listen to one side. Our Qingyun Sect is not a small sect that is not in the mainstream. We will not determine a person's future achievements based on talent."

"Since Elder Tianyu has chosen Junior Sister Sheng He as her disciple, I believe that Junior Sister Sheng He must have her strengths. I also hope that all disciples will not underestimate themselves. Junior Sister's words and actions today were inappropriate. I apologize to everyone here. Everyone present is a fellow disciple, so please don't harbor any resentment in your hearts."

Don't listen to one side only, fellow disciples? In their previous life, none of them did it.

Sheng He chuckled and took the thousand-year-old dragon blood stone from Chu Heng.

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Brother."

Chu Heng pushed Zhao Yanran from behind. Zhao Yanran bit her lip and stood up reluctantly.
