Xia Ruofei's expression turned cold, and he glanced at Shen Hu beside him.
Shen Hu suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness flowing through his body from head to toe, and he hurriedly pushed open the door.
Inside the room, a female cultivator wearing a light yellow robe coldly stared at Lu You. This female cultivator had delicate features, but she only had a good appearance. From the words just now, one could tell how sharp and mean she was.
The female cultivator surnamed Lu shouted, "Who's so unruly!"
Then, she turned around and saw Shen Hu and Xia Ruofei standing at the door. Her brows slightly wrinkled, and her tone softened a bit as she said, "So it's Sect Master Shen!"
"Martial Niece Lu, how did my disciple offend you? Martial Niece Lu, why are you speaking so maliciously?" Shen Hu couldn't help but coldly ask.
Just now, he clearly felt Xia Ruofei's cold killing intent, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He knew that he had to immediately seek justice for Lu You, otherwise, he would really offend Xia Ruofei.
At this time, Shen Hu's intestines were about to turn green with regret. If he knew that there would be so many things, he wouldn't have brought Lu You to this ceremony even if he was beaten to death.
This female cultivator surnamed Lu was called Lu Yuqing, and she was the most favored direct disciple of the Luoshen Sect's Sect Master. Her cultivation was only at the fifth layer of the Aura Refining realm, but she was used to being arrogant and domineering.
Although the Sect Master of the Luoshen Sect, Chi Qingqing, was also at the ninth layer of the Aura Refining realm, she was very close to breaking through to the Aurous Core realm. If it wasn't for the increasingly bad cultivation environment on Earth, perhaps she would have already broken through.
Although the cultivation environment was getting worse day by day, Chi Qingqing was still the most likely cultivator to break through to the ninth layer of the Aura Refining realm. Moreover, everyone generally believed that it was only a matter of time before she broke through, so she could be considered a "quasi-Jindan cultivator".
Because of this, although Chi Qingqing didn't enjoy the treatment of a courtyard alone, she was still treated better than Shen Hu of the Water Element Sect and the Sect Master of the Golden Sword Sect, Ouyang Zhongyun — the only suite in this courtyard was allocated to her.
Logically speaking, as Chi Qingqing's personal disciple, Lu Yuqing's status should also rise. However, this courtyard had a total of five rooms. The three heads each occupied one room. The remaining three disciples were Lu You, Lu Yuqing, and Elder Liu of the Golden Sword Sect. There was a difference between men and women. They couldn't let Lu You and Elder Liu share a room, so there was no other way to arrange it. They could only let Lu You and Lu Yuqing share a room.
Because of this arrangement, Lu Yuqing was also very unhappy in her heart. She also found fault with Lu You. However, Lu You came from a small sect and her cultivation was low. She could only swallow her anger.
Just now, she was in a hurry to get the Fukang pills for Xia Ruofei. She knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for Lu Yuqing to respond. As a result, she was scolded by Lu Yuqing.
Seeing Xia Ruofei and Shen Hu walk in, especially when Shen Hu directly scolded Lu Yuqing, Lu You suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.
Lu Yuqing raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Head Shen, what do you mean by this? It was clearly your disciple who didn't know the rules and broke into the room when I was cultivating. How is it my fault? "
"This room is shared by the two of you. Does she need your permission to enter the room? How is this reasonable? "Xia Ruofei asked with a frown.
"Who are you?" Lu Yuqing looked at Xia Ruofei disdainfully and said, "An ordinary person from the secular world dares to meddle in the affairs of cultivators. I think you're tired of living! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Get out of here! You have no right to speak here! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be stunned. This was the first time he had been reprimanded by a little cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining!
Shen Hu was so scared that he almost died on the spot. He trembled as he stepped forward and pointed at Lu Yuqing. "How dare you! How dare you be so rude to Mr. Xia! Is this the upbringing of your Luoshen Sect? "
"What's wrong with the upbringing of our Luoshen Sect?" A cold voice came from outside the door.
Everyone looked up and saw a female cultivator about forty years old walk in with a frosty face and stare coldly at Shen Hu.
Xia Ruofei casually scanned with his spiritual power and couldn't help but secretly curl his lips. She was only a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but she had made such a big scene. Those who didn't know better would think that she was a Nascent Soul master!
Shen Hu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "So it's Head Chi."
"Hmph! If I didn't come, my good-for-nothing disciple would have been scolded to tears by you! " Chi Qingqing said coldly, "Head Shen is so fierce to a junior. Is this the upbringing of your Water Essence Sect?"
"Head Chi, the ins and outs of this matter are very clear." Shen Hu braced himself and said, "My disciple was just going back to her room, but she was scolded by your disciple. We're all living under the same roof. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"I don't know if I've gone overboard or not, nor do I know what just happened. I only know …" Chi Qingqing stared into Shen Hu's eyes and said, "Before I even reached the door, I heard Sect Master Shen questioning our Luo Shen Sect's upbringing. Sect Master Shen, what right do you have to criticize our Luo Shen Sect? What gave you the courage to do so? Could it be that you've broken through to the Gold Core Realm after not seeing you for a day? "
Shen Hu was so angry that his face turned blue. They all lived in the same courtyard, and Chi Qingqing was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Lu Yuqing scolded so loudly just now that she must have heard it clearly even if she was in her room. How could she not have heard what happened earlier?
Chi Qingqing was clearly using her power to oppress others. The cultivation world was so realistic. If one's cultivation was higher than yours, then you deserved to suffer.
Chi Qingqing glanced at Xia Ruofei and said, "Also, you actually brought an ordinary person without any cultivation to the Tianyi Sect! Head Shen, how many heads do you have to dare to do such a thing? Do you believe that I won't tell Elder Zhou about it right now? Guess how Elder Zhou will punish you? "
There was a very important reason why Chi Qingqing could receive some preferential treatment and why Lu Yuqing dared to be so arrogant in the Tianyi Sect — even if she was only arrogant in front of the cultivators of the Tianyi Sect's vassal sects — because Tianyi Sect's early-stage Gold Core Elder, Lao Zhou, was relatively supportive of the Luoshen Sect. There were rumors that Zhou Chong wanted Lu Yuqing and his son to become Dao companions. It was probably not baseless.
Chi Qingqing mentioned Elder Zhou intentionally or unintentionally in order to strengthen her momentum.
In fact, although this kind of behavior was particularly laughable in Xia Ruofei's eyes, it was quite effective on Shen Hu.
After Shen Hu heard Chi Qingqing's words, he revealed a timid expression.
He had the idea of backing down, but when he saw that Xia Ruofei was still watching the show with a playful expression, the idea of backing down immediately dissipated.
Shen Hu braced himself and said, "Head Chi, you don't have to use Elder Zhou to oppress me. I have reason all over the world. Today, Lu Yuqing was arrogant and domineering. My disciple didn't do anything wrong, but he was ordered around and insulted wantonly by Lu Yuqing! We're all here to watch the ceremony, so our status is equal. I don't believe that the Tianyi Sect will favor you! "
Chi Qingqing was slightly surprised. With the strength of the Luoshen Sect, they could firmly suppress the Water Yuan Sect. Her own strength was much stronger than Shen Hu's. In addition, she also used Elder Zhou, a Gold Core Realm cultivator, as a banner. Logically speaking, Shen Hu should have given in.
She didn't expect Shen Hu to be so stubborn.
However, Chi Qingqing didn't take it to heart. The Tianyi Sect wouldn't care much about a vassal sect like the Water Yuan Sect. If they hadn't deliberately curried favor with Elder Zhou like she did, they wouldn't have received any special treatment.
Therefore, with this layer of relationship with Elder Zhou, she could easily make the Water Yuan Sect dejected and dejected.
As for who was in the right and who wasn't … The other higher-ups of the Tianyi Sect wouldn't care about such trivial matters!
Therefore, Chi Qingqing was only slightly stunned, and then said with a sneer, "Shen Hu, you're really unyielding! Let's wait and see! If you come all the way back to watch the ceremony and are driven away by the Tianyi Sect before you start to break through and return to the UK, you'll really become a joke! "
Speaking of this, Chi Qingqing snorted coldly and then said, "Yuqing, come with me! Go to my room to cultivate first. Don't let some wild girl from a small sect disturb your cultivation! "
"Yes, Master!" Master! "Lu Yuqing immediately responded and then glanced at Lu You provocatively.
At this time, Lu You's mind was already in a mess. She realized that she had caused a lot of trouble for Shen Hu and the Water Yuan Sect. The trouble was so big that even Shen Hu, the sect leader, couldn't solve it. Moreover, it was very likely that Xia Ruofei would be implicated.
Her mind was in a mess, so how could she notice Lu Yuqing's provocative gaze?
Chi Qingqing's cold eyes swept over Shen Hu, Xia Ruofei, and Lu You one by one, and then left the room with Lu Yuqing without saying a word.
Lu You said in a trembling voice, "Master, I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble."
Shen Hu said with a wry smile, "It's not your fault. The people of the Luoshen Sect are too domineering. You're my registered disciple. I can't watch you suffer!"
Lu You couldn't help but cry, but she soon came to her senses and said hurriedly, "Ruofei, leave now! Otherwise, it'll be too late! If the people of the Tianyi Palace blame you, you'll be in big trouble! "
Xia Ruofei had been watching coldly for a long time. At this time, he finally said, "Lu You, don't worry. I'll be fine, and your master will be fine. Just stay here with peace of mind!"
After that, Xia Ruofei said to Shen Hu, "Sect Leader Shen, please take good care of Lu You. I'll go back first."
After that, Xia Ruofei nodded slightly to Lu You and walked out.
Seeing Xia Ruofei leave, Lu You also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt that Xia Ruofei would definitely not leave the Tianyi Palace by himself, as long as he was not caught red-handed by the law enforcers of the Tianyi Palace, he would have a chance to be exonerated.
When Xia Ruofei walked out, he also sent a voice transmission to Shen Hu. He said lightly, "Don't worry. I'll tell Chen Xuan. In addition, I haven't finished talking just now. You can tell Lu You that I'm also a cultivator. Although my cultivation is not high, I have a good relationship with Chen Xuan. So this time, I was officially invited by Chen Xuan to attend the ceremony. In this way, she won't be so worried. "
Hearing this, Shen Hu immediately felt relieved and hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "Okay, Senior Xia. Don't worry. I'll take good care of Lu You. Even if Chi Qingqing fights in person, she can't defeat me in a short time. After all, we're all at the ninth level of the Qi Refining realm. Moreover, they won't dare to make a move easily in the territory of the Tianyi Palace. "
"That's good!" Xia Ruofei said.
Then he didn't say anything else. He directly walked out of the courtyard and walked toward the courtyard where he lived.
As soon as Xia Ruofei walked to the gate of the courtyard where he lived, he saw Chen Xuan coming from not far away. Behind him were three handyman disciples who were carrying food boxes and wine jars.
Chen Xuan waved at Xia Ruofei from afar and shouted, "Brother Ruofei! I've taken out all the good wine I've collected for many years. You have to drink with me! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Let's talk about drinking later. I have something to tell you!"
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, but soon said, "Okay! Let's talk inside! "
Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan entered the courtyard. The three disciples soon opened the food boxes in the room that was used as the dining room in the west wing and put delicious dishes on the table.
Chen Xuan waved at them. The three handyman disciples immediately bowed slightly and then left silently.
Chen Xuan then looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "Brother Ruofei, what's the matter? You can tell me now."
Xia Ruofei then recounted how he had coincidentally bumped into Lu You while strolling around and what had happened after that. The main point was naturally how Luoshen Sect's Chi Qingqing and Lu Yuqing had bullied Lu You.
Xia Ruofei didn't add any details. With his current status, it was easy for him to punish Chi Qingqing and Lu Yuqing. There was no need for him to deliberately exaggerate the facts.
After Chen Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but show a trace of anger. He said, "How dare a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage be so arrogant in our Tianyi Palace? Brother Ruofei, did she say which Elder Zhou she was? "
Among the Gold Core Elders of the Tianyi Palace, there was another Elder surnamed Zhou besides Zhou Chong. That was why Chen Xuan asked this question.
However, before Xia Ruofei could speak, Chen Xuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Who cares which Elder Zhou he is! How can we not punish this kind of person who bullies the weak in the name of an Elder of the Tianyi Palace? "
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Chen," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xuan said, "You're already giving me face by not doing it yourself! If I don't handle this matter well, how can I have the face to see you? "
Then, Chen Xuan said, "Brother Ruofei, I was negligent in this matter. I didn't pay attention to whether your friend came with Shen Hu or not. If I knew that your friend was also here, I would definitely ask the disciples in charge of arranging accommodation to take care of him."
"Brother Chen, you're too serious. You have so many things to do these days. It's not your turn to worry about such trivial matters!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Leave it to me!" Chen Xuan said. "Brother Ruofei, please wait a moment. I'll be back after I arrange it!"
