Chapter 21 Cloud Soaring Sect 4
Chapter 21 Cloud Soaring Sect 4
"Luo Simiao!" Luo Aimei looked at her in disbelief. This bitch actually dared to make a move. Didn't she care about her image at all?
Luo Zhui was angrier than her. He had to understand that he was the only young master of the Luo family, and in his eyes, even his sister was just a stepping stone for him in the future.
In fact, Chen Tingyi went to the Luo family to seek revenge, but eventually gave up and tried her best to please him.
"You wretch, how dare you hit me? Believe me or not, I'll tell your mother. Your second mother will definitely beat you to death, you wretch!"
Cheng Jiu slapped him twice more, drew his sword and pointed it at his mouth. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. As for Chen Tingyi, do you think I care?"
If she dares to come, I'll beat her up. If your only reliance is your crotch, I won't hesitate to cripple it!
The cruel tone sent a chill down everyone's spine.
"And don't try to associate with me. My name is Cheng Jiu, not Luo Simiao!"
Even your father doesn't dare to associate with me, how can you two have the nerve to do this!
And you two came to see me, don't you feel ashamed at all?
You were conceived by your own father during your mother's marriage, giving your original father a huge green hat.
In other words, you are cuckolded bastards. If it weren't for your appearance proving your lineage, who would know whose child you are?
And Luo Aimei, who knows if you're Luo Xing'an's child? Did he really never have any doubts?" After she said this, both of their expressions changed.
The others looked at the two with a hint of amusement.
Enraged, Luo Zhui was about to attack, shouting, "How dare you insult my mother!"
The four people who were watching the show couldn't stand to see Cheng Jiu being bullied all by himself, so they stepped forward to protect Cheng Jiu behind them and started fighting with the other party.
In the marketplace, the Yunxiao Sect's Enforcement Hall was not to be underestimated.
Especially since their sect's disciples were unilaterally beaten, putting everything else aside, all four of them were exceptionally talented, and their strength was naturally different from that of ordinary people.
The opponent's strength wasn't that high either; the highest level was only a Golden Core cultivator, while Li Weixin was also a Golden Core cultivator, and one who could fight beyond his level.
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall came out to stop them, and of course, the group couldn't refuse. In the end, they were taken to the Cloud Soaring Sect Master, who was naturally also having a headache.
Several inner disciples got into a fight with Venerable Disciples from other sects, but fortunately, all four of their masters were in the Cloud Soaring Sect, so they could be invited over to discuss how to resolve the situation.
Lord Qianli looked at his disciple and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. How could he have been so blind as to fall for him?
Although the other party was indeed a lightning spirit root, he was clearly such a clever and skillful child back then.
As a result, he became more and more distorted as he grew up. The last time he used lightning to cook, he blew up the kitchen.
The time before last, I don't know what kind of weird thing I fed him with his contracted beast, and he got poisoned.
The time before last, he stained his sword; his sword was so angry that it chased him for ten miles, and afterwards it became even more withdrawn, saying that it was better to have this disciple than this sword, and vice versa.
This cheeky fellow suddenly said he wanted to come to the Cloud Soaring Sect to watch the sect competition, and after thinking about it, he agreed.
After all, his little apprentice had always stayed on his peak and had never gone out to see the world. This was a good opportunity to broaden his horizons.
He said he wanted to go to the market, and I told him there was no danger and not to cause trouble. He ended up getting himself into the sect leader's hands. What a coincidence!
Although he thought this way inside, Lord Qianli outwardly maintained an expression of trust in his little disciple.
A short while later, he saw two familiar faces. "Qingxu, Qingyang, what brings you here?"
"Because some of the other disciples involved in the fight are our disciples," said Venerable Qingyang.
"What happened? Tell me!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Venerable Qianli urged the sect leader.
Luo Aimei came out first, sobbing, "I just saw my sister and we talked about how our father missed her. My brother had some complaints about our sister because of our father, and then my sister started hitting him."
She stared at Venerable Qingxu, feeling a pang of jealousy. She had been in the inner sect for so long, yet not a single elder had ever taken notice of her. In the end, that worthless woman who had been deemed a waste was able to become Venerable Qingxu's disciple.
She was determined to show him what this guy was really like.
Qingxu Venerable frowned, and under Luo Aimei's joyful and expectant gaze, he spoke: "It must be that the male disciple's words were too harsh and offended my disciple. My disciple is well-behaved and never initiates conflicts with others."
Luo Aimei paused for a moment, then the sorrowful expression on her face slowly froze.
He stared at Venerable Qingxu in disbelief. Was he telling the truth? That guy who would beat someone up at the drop of a hat, was actually well-behaved? Could Venerable Qingxu really lie through his teeth?
"It must have been the other party who made the first move, so my disciple intervened to protect my junior sister!" Lord Qingyang said earnestly.
"My disciple only intervened because he saw injustice. Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect, I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly and give my disciple justice." The three masters unanimously chose to protect their disciple.
The Luo siblings were dumbfounded, while the sect leader was unsurprised, as the Venerable Lord's disciple had not suffered any loss.
He investigated the matter and found that the brother and sister's case was untenable. In the end, he fined them a year's worth of their allowance as punishment.
There were no further punishments, after all, the Yunxiao Sect had to protect its own disciples to some extent.
After this farce, the five of them lost interest in exploring any further and returned to their respective sects' residences after parting ways.
While in someone else's sect, the four of them had no interest in cultivation and simply started playing the popular card game among cultivators.
The figures depicted above are all familiar names, such as the founders of the five major sects and legendary powerful sect leaders.
Moreover, the character illustrations are extremely exquisite, and some cards are even made using special methods, where the scenes and characters can be briefly displayed.
This adds to the sense of realism, making it somewhat similar to auto chess.
Every year, the merchant guild that issues the Song Immortal card releases a new card, and these cards command high prices in the market.
Cheng Jiu once received a card from her master. Yes, her master also had cards, each worth 3000 top-grade spirit stones, and they were extremely rare and valuable.
The two brothers and Mao Hongsheng are also loyal fans of this kind of card game, and have a lot of treasured cards.
Having more cards naturally makes the game more enjoyable, and Cheng Jiu had a lot of fun, while her gaming partner was very dedicated.
That evening, he told her the information he had gathered.
Cheng Jiu originally thought that after he saw Chen Tingyi off, he would have nothing to do with the Luo family anymore. He never expected that he would still be able to get involved in the Luo family's affairs because of those two siblings.
Thinking about it, it's pretty brilliant. After reading the message, Cheng Jiu realized that he had underestimated her love-struck daughter.
Even gold doesn't have such pure nerves.
As mentioned earlier, the other party used their Nascent Soul stage cultivation to go back and seek revenge. As a result, his father humbled himself and tearfully said that although Zhao Meier was his true love, he had long harbored feelings for her after so many years together.
Then her mother didn't doubt it at all and believed it immediately.
She believed him and eventually forgave her father.
Originally, it was said that the two wives were one human and one ghost, and there was no difference in their status. Cheng Jiu also thought that the two guys referred to each other as "Second Mother" because they had a biological mother, so they called the other mother "Second Mother".
Unexpectedly, there was a big drama unfolding along the way!
Although he had married two wives, there still had to be a ranking. At this point, Zhao Meier used a feigned retreat to advance, saying that she was the later one and should not be ranked first.
Chen Tingyi got into a scuffle with the other woman, and finally said that she was her husband's most beloved woman, and that she had given birth to his son, so she should rightfully be the eldest.
Then his father saw the two women being so humble and respectful towards him, and he was deeply moved.
In the end, it was decided that Chen Tingyi, the original wife, would actually be the concubine.
Although the two women appeared to be of equal status, the truth was generally known within the large family.
When there are important matters that only require one woman to step forward, isn't that Zhao Meier, the so-called "big sister"?
So what's the difference between Chen Tingyi and those concubines? After all, concubines occasionally attend banquets.
It was only because of Chen Tingyi's strength and Cheng Jiu's influence that Luo Xing'an agreed to let her become a concubine. Otherwise, even if Chen Tingyi, with her love-struck mind, were willing to become a concubine, Cheng Jiu wouldn't be so foolish.
Although she actively severed ties with the Luo family, there were still those outside who refused to believe her.
If a concubine's daughter comes along, Cheng Jiu will have to bring her master and wipe out the Luo family.
In the end, everyone was happy, everyone was happy!
Cheng Jiu was initially disappointed in Chen Tingyi, but then suddenly laughed. She realized that she actually admired Chen Tingyi quite a bit; in the realm of being love-struck, she was unbeatable!
Most people wouldn't do something like this!
She lay in bed, unsure what to say, and her friend knew her mind was in turmoil. He didn't send her a message.
The sect competition began the next day.
The disciples of each sect changed into their own sect's robes. Cheng Jiu usually wore the ninth-grade Dharma robe given to her by her master. She had never received a sect robe. Other disciples of the sect either wore the peak robes belonging to their own peak. Even Nan Yanzhe never wore sect robes.
Now Cheng Jiu roughly understands why: it's too green. It's not the kind of dark green or any other green, but a very refreshing water green, too refreshing.
Even the headband and hair tie are this green, making it stand out from the crowd. It's all about the person wearing it – their looks are what make it special.
Otherwise, one can easily be overwhelmed by this color, and even so, the person will appear increasingly dark.
Cheng Jiu finally understood why she didn't wear it anymore; it gave off a strangely ugly vibe. Thank goodness she wasn't participating in the sect competition!
Compared to the other sects, the colors of their sect uniforms are much more normal. For example, Medicine King Valley wears uniform red robes, Wuji Sect wears brown tight-fitting clothes, Longyuan Sect wears black tight-fitting clothes, and Yunxiao Sect wears all white. Coupled with the bright green Guiyuan Sect, the five major sects are really eye-catching!
Compare the Foundation Establishment stage and the Nascent Soul stage simultaneously, and compare the Golden Core stage and the Deity Transformation stage simultaneously.
Although there are many people in the Foundation Establishment stage, the competition is exceptionally fast. After all, there are only a few spells and abilities that people know. Judging by proficiency alone, even someone as simple as Xiang Ping doesn't have much spiritual energy in his body, so he can't last long at all.
One major competition for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and twenty competitions for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators have already concluded.
In the end, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators chose the winner first. Among the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the most famous were Senior Brother Nan Yanzhe and the dark horse Huo Yan, who suddenly became a favorite to win the championship.
With his extremely low profile and incredibly fast swordsmanship, he won a series of victories, killing with a single blow, making him impossible to defend against.
"Senior Brother Huo is so strong!" The Foundation Establishment disciples watching from the sidelines were amazed. Huo Yan hadn't used a second move yet.
"Senior Brother Huo should have grasped the Sword Realm by now!" Gong Cheng looked at the stage with admiration.
Although Huo Yan's presence was indeed low, the cultivation world doesn't judge people by their presence.
It was his strength, especially since his opponent was defeated so quickly that people soon noticed.
His strength is also very high, so even with his low sensitivity, he still stands out at this moment.
"He comprehended the Sword Realm at the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 20. I will definitely not be inferior to him in the future!" Cheng Jiu exclaimed. This is the true prodigy of heaven, and she will strive to be the one to pursue in the future.
In the future, she also wants to stand on this stage and make a name for herself like her senior brother Huo.
Several friends nearby nodded, "We're working hard together too!"
"Let's work together!" The five of them smiled at each other.
Those Nascent Soul stage cultivators who made it to the later stages were all top geniuses among them.
That female sword cultivator from the Dragon Abyss Sect—Huo Yan was already incredibly talented for comprehending the sword realm at the Nascent Soul stage, but she already had a glimpse of the seed of swordsmanship.
That male disciple from the Wuji Sect has already reached the Dragon Blood Realm; ordinary people simply cannot break through his defenses.
That disciple from Medicine King Valley is said to be a direct disciple of the Supreme Elder, possessing a mastery of poisons that makes him impossible to guard against.
The disciple from the Cloud Soaring Sect possessed extraordinary agility, making him impossible to catch.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Huo Yan from Guiyuan Sect who made it to the final round. Unfortunately, he encountered a disciple from Medicine King Valley, and before the fight even started, he was poisoned.
It was Nan Yanzhe, the sect leader's eldest disciple.
Upon closer inspection, he wasn't without his faults, but from the perspective of the five people, why didn't they notice them?
Because it was really too ordinary. In terms of swordsmanship, he was among the best in all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but not outstanding. The same was true for physical skills and movement techniques. In fact, his opponent also knew a little bit of alchemy.
He excels at everything, but is not outstanding at anything; he is a well-rounded, evenly matched individual, a pentagon.
"Actually, in a way, the sect leader and senior brother are also a chosen one of heaven!" Gongcheng sighed.
"Of course, otherwise do you think just anyone can become the sect leader and senior disciple?"
Qin Che appeared out of nowhere, with Huo Yan beside him. "Apart from Senior Brother Bai from Medicine King Valley, the others on the stage are all disciples personally taught by the sect leader."
As the direct disciple of a sect leader, he has a very good chance of inheriting the position of sect leader in the future, so his strength is certainly not low.
"Our sect's Senior Sister Quan is also the daughter of the Great Ascension Immortal Lord."
Li Weixin, standing to the side, recommended, "It is said that she is born with a sword heart and sword bones, a natural talent for swordsmanship with a single gold spiritual root. However, Senior Sister Quan is not the sect leader or senior sister. She herself does not have that intention. She only wants to pursue the Great Dao. Our sect leader and senior brother is Senior Brother Liu."
There are just too many people in the cultivation world. Even if we say it's one in a billion, we can still find six or seven people, not to mention the mortal world!
Therefore, there is never a shortage of geniuses. Every year, a few geniuses with exceptional talent will emerge. Originally, because of his exceptional talent, Cheng Jiu was somewhat proud.
But at this moment, I calmed down.
People should go out and explore more, otherwise they won't realize how narrow-minded they are.
