Chapter 22: Teaching a Lesson
Seeing her people being beaten, Liu Ruxi immediately stood in front of Mu Linger and looked at her angrily.
"Junior sister, you've gone too far. How can you hit someone?"
Xiao Liyue clasped her hands together and looked at her with disdain: "Oh! You can't hit people? Then she is disrespectful to her elders, shouldn't I hit her? Who is she? What is my identity? When is it her turn, Mu Ling'er, to mock me, the ninth elder? She is so rebellious, is it all taught by you, senior sister? I really admire you, senior sister."
Liu Ruxi blushed with shame: "You... don't talk nonsense, when did I ever teach her to say these words?"
"Since Senior Sister never taught her to say these things, then as an elder, what's wrong with me teaching her a lesson? If she treats other elders of the sect in the same way in the future, I'm afraid it will be more than just a slap in the face! So I'm doing this for her own good, what's wrong with that?"
The inner sect disciples below the stage all nodded in agreement.
"The Ninth Elder is right. Mu Ling'er was the one who didn't know the difference between superiors and subordinates. Hitting her with a slap was the lightest punishment. If she was outside, she would have died without knowing how." Chu Mingyou gave a thumbs up and agreed.
Wei Zisu at the side also said softly: "Senior Sister Mu is not young anymore. Sometimes the mouth can cause trouble. I hope that Senior Sister Mu will be careful with her words and actions in the future to avoid getting into trouble."
Situ Mo rubbed his nose and said, "Zi Su, why do you care about her? She has been acting weird since the Ninth Elder came. If she was treated lightly, someone else would have destroyed her long ago."
"It's all your own fault." Nangong Yu said coldly. After all, he was born in the imperial palace and was accustomed to the fighting among the women in the harem, so he couldn't stand the sight of such a villain succeeding.
Yu Fengchen just watched silently and didn't say anything.
Mu Ling'er was so aggrieved that she shed tears after being told off by the four people. At this moment, her heart was filled with hatred. She hated Xiao Liyue for humiliating her in front of everyone, and she hated her even more for being able to be with the person she loved.
That's right. Ever since Mu Ling'er entered the sect and saw Wei Zisu for the first time, she fell in love with this man who was one year younger than her. So when she saw Wei Zisu's gentle smile to Xiao Liyue, she became jealous and wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone. However, she failed to humiliate her and instead made herself the object of everyone's ridicule.
Mo Jingxuan frowned and looked at Mu Ling'er with displeasure: "Ling'er, apologize to the Ninth Elder and don't speak like this again in the future."
Mu Ling'er lowered her head in grievance when she heard this, gritted her teeth and clenched her hands. The seeds of hatred surged into her heart, causing her nails to dig into her palms. Even so, she didn't feel any pain.
After a moment, Mu Ling'er showed a harmless look and looked at Xiao Liyue with a frustrated look: "I'm sorry, Ninth Elder, Ling'er shouldn't have said that. Ling'er knows she was wrong!"
Xiao Liyue knew that if she continued to dwell on this matter, she would appear to have no magnanimity.
So she smiled and said, "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. This elder will naturally not hold it against you."
"Haha... Elder Nine is right." Mu Ling'er said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's just let this go!"
The corners of Mu Ling'er's eyes twitched, and the smile on her lips could hardly be suppressed. She had never seen such a shameless person.
Yu Fengchen on the side kept staring at Xiao Liyue intently. She was indeed not the same Xiao Liyue. He was now sure that she, like himself, was reborn with the memories of her past life.
But after her rebirth, she was a completely different person. The current Xiao Liyue was so strange and unfathomable to him.
Now she is confident and dazzling, and even if she speaks aggressively, people will not feel disgusted by her.
Her various changes made him want to get to know her more deeply. Even though he still hated what she did in her previous life, he was still deeply attracted to her.
This made Yu Fengchen a little irritated and uneasy, and he wanted to know what Xiao Liyue was going to do. If she was reborn, she could choose not to accept him as her disciple and pretend not to know him, so all he had to do was take revenge.
But she didn't do that. Instead, she was unusually nice to him, which made the hatred he had for her not as impulsive as before. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Mo Jingxuan waved his hand and a spirit ship flew into the air, slowly growing larger, and finally becoming a giant ship that could accommodate thousands of people.
"The time has come, all disciples, follow me." After saying that, Mo Jingxuan took Liu Ruxi's hand and flew to the spirit ship. Mu Ling'er followed closely behind them.
Xiao Liyue pulled up Yu Fengchen who was still in a daze, turned to look at Wei Zisu and the other three: "Let's set off too!" After that, she flew up with Yu Fengchen.
Wei Zisu and the other three smiled and nodded, then followed closely.
Yu Fengchen came back to his senses and felt the soft and sticky touch on his palm. The overly close contact allowed him to clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Xiao Liyue, which he found very pleasant.
He shook her hand off in panic: "Master... I can fly by myself."
Xiao Liyue didn't notice his strange look, "Haha... I forgot about it."
"Well! It's okay." Yu Fengchen said with his head down.
Wei Zisu and a few others flew to Xiao Liyue's side. After witnessing the domineering power of the spirit ship, the other disciples flew to the spirit ship on their swords.
Mu Ling'er stole a glance at Xiao Liyue, and looked at Mo Jingxuan with pretended admiration: "Uncle Mo is so amazing, he can actually drive such a huge spirit ship."
Mo Jingxuan smiled and said, “When you reach my level of cultivation, you can do it too.”
Liu Ruxi rubbed Mu Ling'er's head and smiled gently, "Don't listen to your uncle Mo's lies. I can't even drive a spirit ship with a thousand people at my current level."
"Wow! Uncle Mo is about to break through to the early stage of the golden elixir."
Mo Jingxuan nodded and said, "Yes! Almost there."
Liu Ruxi's eyes revealed a hint of pride: "Him! Now I can hardly catch up with him."
"Then I'll wait for you to catch up with me." Mo Jingxuan held her hand affectionately.
Liu Ruxi blushed: "Humph... I don't want you to wait for me, I will catch up with you."
"Haha... I believe Xier can do it." Mo Jingxuan laughed.
Mu Linger looked envious: "The relationship between Master Jingxuan and Master Ruxi is really enviable!" After saying that, her eyes drifted towards Xiao Liyue.
In the past, Xiao Liyue would definitely be jealous and make a big fuss.
As a result, Xiao Liyue looked at the scenery outside the boat with great interest and was fascinated by it.
Instead, Chu Mingyou at the side shook his body, with a look of disgust on his face: "Hey... Zi Su, if you three have partners, don't be so greasy in the future."
Nangong Yu rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, as long as you are not greasy, we will not be greasy either."
"Haha...that's right, You has always been so greasy." Situ Mo put his arm around Chu Mingyou's shoulders and laughed.
Chu Mingyou pushed him away with disgust: "Get lost... I didn't."
Wei Zisu and Yu Fengchen looked at each other and smiled.
Xiao Liyue was amused by them and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha...you guys are so funny, I like you very much."
