Cheng Qingyu’s words once again drew everyone’s attention to Mo Xiaolan.
Su Xin’s delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.
Wei Wan lowered her head, her hands gently clenched.
In the crowd, Lin Qingchou was not surprised at all, because she alone knew Ruo i’s true identity.
Lin Qingchou looked at Mo Xiaolan, puzzled.
Could it be that Lan Yin also knew that Ruo i was the Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect?
Under everyone’s gaze, Mo Xiaolan looked bewildered and spread her hands, saying:
"When did Senior Sister Ruo disappear for a period of ti? How co I didn’t know?"
Her words imdiately made everyone laugh again, and soone said in confusion:
"Yes, I was right next to Junior Sister Ruo at that ti. We were all paralyzed by the poison of the Joyful Union Sect and couldn’t move at all. When could she have left? That’s impossible!"
Once soone started, more and more people chid in:
"Yes, I was not far from Junior Sister Ruo, and she was there the whole ti."
"Senior Sister Cheng, aren’t you being too suspicious?"
Cheng Qingyu sneered, "You didn’t notice because your cultivation is too low."
These people were all outstanding talents within the sect, yet being mocked for having low cultivation was a blow to their pride, so soone said indignantly:
"Senior Sister Cheng, you entered the sect earlier than us, and your cultivation is certainly higher, but Senior Sister Su Xin and Senior Sister Wei are here too, and they didn’t say Junior Sister Ruo ever sneaked away!"
"Yes, Junior Sister Ruo saved during the beast tide in Zhenlian City. I don’t believe there’s a problem with her!"
"Senior Sister Su Xin, Senior Sister Wei, you need to say sothing fair for Junior Sister Ruo!"
Cheng Qingyu’s expression turned sowhat ugly. She hadn’t expected that targeting Lan Yin and Ruo i, two minor inner sect disciples, would provoke such public anger.
She then coldly looked at Su Xin: "Senior Sister Su, I’m doing this for the sect, please preside over fairness."
She couldn’t believe Su Xin, with her cultivation, didn’t notice Ruo i’s anomaly at all.
Su Xin was silent for a mont before finally speaking: "At that ti, I was fully focused on expelling the poison and didn’t notice Junior Sister Ruo doing anything."
"You..."
Cheng Qingyu was stunned, imdiately feeling countless mocking gazes:
"I told you, Junior Sister Ruo was right next to at that ti. Could I be blind?"
"We are just minor inner sect disciples, of little influence, but Senior Sister Su Xin commands disciples, isn’t her word credible?"
"Are so people just jealous that Junior Sister Ruo is prettier and more talented?"
These female disciples spoke with various shades of sarcasm, making listeners feel stifled. Cheng Qingyu’s chest heaved with anger, glaring at Su Xin:
"Senior Sister Su, Ruo i clearly hides her cultivation with malicious intent, why do you cover for her?"
Su Xin’s expression was gentle, her voice elegant: "Junior Sister Cheng, the path of cultivation is perilous. Ruo i isn’t the only one hiding her cultivation, so why chase the matter to its roots?"
Cheng Qingyu was stunned; Su Xin’s words obviously implied that she, too, hid her cultivation.
Wei Wan spoke up: "Senior Sister Su Xin, Junior Sister Ye just sent word that they’ll be here soon, let’s go et them."
"Alright." Su Xin nodded.
The words of the two commanding disciples intended to put an end to the matter.
As such, Cheng Qingyu ended up being perceived as petty, losing all authority among these female disciples.
Cheng Qingyu had not anticipated matters would progress to this point.
With so many flaws in Lan Yin, Ruo i, and He Zhiqiu, Su Xin, why do you still protect them?
No wonder my father says among so many daughters, you’re the kindest, yet also the most useless, even unwilling to acknowledge you!
Cheng Qingyu coldly watched Mo Xiaolan’s back, sneering in her heart.
Today let you pass; let’s see what you intend to do.
Su Xin and Wei Wan were flying with their swords ahead, Su Xin suddenly said to Wei Wan:
"Junior Sister Wei, do you also trust Junior Brother Lan and Junior Sister Ruo?"
Wei Wan paused, avoiding Su Xin’s gaze, and said lightly:
"Doesn’t Senior Sister Su Xin also trust them?"
Su Xin was silent for a mont, then sighed: "Junior Sister Wei, I only hope this trip to the South Demon will not disappoint our sect’s instructions and that we all return safely."
Wei Wan was quiet for a long ti before slowly saying, "What Senior Sister asks, I will surely not fall short."
At this mont, a large contingent of gleaming flying swords approached, carrying a group of handso sect brothers, causing the female disciples to exclaim with joy:
"It’s Senior Brother Chun and the others!"
"And Senior Sister Ye!"
"They’re all fine!"
"Hey, what’s that?"
They quickly noticed soone in the group of sword-flying brothers and sisters, conspicuously riding a large bird.
This person was burly, with taut muscles, mounted on a golden-winged bird, truly distinct and extrely eye-catching.
Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan exchanged glances, equally surprised.
What was brother-in-law riding?
This bird looked so beautiful, almost like a little beauty!
"Is this... a Phoenix Bird Beast?"
Xu Caihe, who had read related texts at ho, recognized the golden-winged bird Qin Gengyun was riding.
Others exclaid in shock: "It’s actually a born Fifth Grade Phoenix Bird Beast?!"
"It’s said there’s only one Phoenix Bird Beast in Feiyun Sect!"
"Where did Junior Brother He find it?"
"This bird is really pretty!"
"Hey, it seems like it’s glaring at ?"
All at once, everyone’s attention was focused on this "Phoenix Bird Beast."
Listening to these people truly taking her for a mount, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden trembled slightly with anger, almost tossing Qin Gengyun off.
Qin Gengyun squeezed tightly with his legs, saying softly:
"Phoenix Maiden, calm down, calm down! Don’t give us away!"
Beside them, Qiu Zhihe coldly glanced over, making the Celestial Phoenix Maiden nervous, forcibly pressing down her inner fury.
At this mont, a group of female disciples ca forward, experiencing delight at their survival and finding themselves much closer.
After a round of warm greetings, the focus inevitably returned to Qin Gengyun.
There was no helping it, the Phoenix Bird Beast was too rare, a top-notch mount both beautiful and powerful, potentially even transforming into an Ancient Divine Beast, a dream beast pet for many Spirit Beast Masters.
Who would have thought He Zhiqiu, a re Body Cultivator, would ta it.
"Senior Brother He, how did you ta this Phoenix Bird Beast?"
"Senior Brother He, your bird is really beautiful!"
"Senior Brother He, can I touch your bird?"
"Wow, the feathers are so smooth and it’s so pretty!"
A group of female disciples crowded around, pestering with questions, and so even boldly reached out to touch.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden, being poked and stroked all over, ruffled her feathers and spread her wings, soaring into the sky with an angry call.
Qin Gengyun explained to the others: "Xiaoque’Er has a bit of a temper, please don’t mind."
"Xiaoque’Er?" Xu Caihe blinked: "Senior Brother He, is that the na you gave the Phoenix Bird Beast?"
Qin Gengyun nodded: "Don’t you think it’s nice?"
In the sky, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, hearing this na, screeched even more angrily.
Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "See, she really likes the na."
