Chapter 45: No Violent Law Enforcement

Lu Zhiming: "What light?"

Si Nian: "How strange?"

Black cat: “Meow meow meow…”

Wei Yi: “…”

When he saw the look in Wei Yi's eyes as he looked at several people, and his hands suddenly clenched.

Si Nian rubbed his hands and chuckled.

"You go on, you go on."

Wei Yi then averted his gaze and continued, "We were too far away at the time. I only thought those eyes were very bright, so bright that I could hardly distinguish the pupils from the whites. It was just a blur."

"Just because she has bright eyes, you think she's weird? Maybe she's just in good health?"

Lu Zhiming muttered softly.

Wei Yi shook his head. "If it was just her eyes flashing, there wouldn't be anything wrong, but she was staring at a spot on that cultivator's body without blinking."

"When I saw that wandering cultivator again, that spot had turned into a bloody hole."

"Blood...bloody hole?!" Si Nian's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Yes, it was from that day that I heard from the housekeeper that my mother drove the sisters out of the Wei family and did not allow me to go out during that time."

"Until I joined the Wuji Sect."

"I began to gradually forget all these things. One day, when I was reading ancient books and checking the meridians of the human body, I suddenly discovered an even greater coincidence."

"The bloody holes on the bodies of those casual cultivators are the locations of each cultivator's spiritual roots."

"In other words, someone dug out his spiritual roots."

"Is this... so cruel... digging it out alive..." Si Nian swallowed and couldn't help but hold the black cat tighter in his arms.

This caused the black cat to meow reluctantly.

"Do you think it was the sisters who dug out...the spiritual roots of that wandering cultivator?" Lu Zhiming frowned.

Wei Yi didn't respond and continued, "Without evidence, I can't jump to conclusions. It's just too coincidental."

"By the time I realized it, it was already a thing of the past, and those sisters had long since vanished from my life. I had no way of pursuing them."

"But...when I saw Ye Rong and Ye Shu in this secret realm, the events of the past came back to my mind clearly."

"Especially...when Ye Shu looks at Junior Sister, a strange light flashes in his eyes."

Si Nian was stunned. That cold-faced female cultivator?

"But the light is no longer like the one I saw back then. It was just a flash."

"Besides this, there is another reason. For the past decade or so, our Wuji Sect has been very low-key among the four major sects."

"When we met on the first day, we didn't introduce our sect, so everyone thought we were just casual cultivators from somewhere."

"But Ye Rong was able to accurately tell us that we are direct disciples of the Wuji Sect after only hearing our names."

"Yes... She is too familiar with us. Even we only confirmed her identity as a direct disciple when we saw the patterns on her body."

Lu Zhiming recalled the previous scene and exclaimed in surprise.

Si Nian didn't say anything. In the book, Guiyuan Sect has always been a sect with a very weak presence.

Even during the sect competition, it only existed as a decoration.

The direct disciples of Wuji Sect had almost no interaction with the direct disciples of Guiyuan Sect.

But now it seems... everything is starting to change.

"In short, these are just my guesses, but there is one thing I can be sure of."

Si Nian looked over and saw Wei Yi frowning slightly.

"Although Ye Shu is not a direct disciple and does not seem to have any talent in alchemy, her skills are definitely not inferior to those of Third Senior Brother."

"The sect competition is about to begin, and all direct disciples and inner disciples above the foundation-building stage will participate."

"If you encounter this during a competition, be very careful."

After they returned to Wuji Sect, they were first comforted by the enthusiastic Yu Jiaojiao.

When Yu Jiaojiao saw the black cat on Si Nian's shoulder, she looked around. She even sniffed it twice and said in disbelief, "How could such an ordinary black cat exist in this secret realm?"

"Junior Sister, why did you want to bring it back?"

Si Nian looked at the black cat who had a cocky look on his face after entering the sect, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"How could that be? It's always spotting the right spiritual plant, and its expression is so arrogant."

"I thought it was some powerful monster! Second Senior Sister, take a closer look. Is this thing really that simple?"

At Si Nian's unwilling request, Yu Jiaojiao looked around carefully again.

Finally, he crossed his arms with one hand and used the other hand to imitate Wanquan and twirl his non-existent beard.

He said confidently, "It's very simple. Not only does it not have the slightest smell of a demon beast, it doesn't even have the slightest spiritual fluctuation."

"There are generally only two situations like this. The first is that it is indeed! It is just an ordinary raccoon slave."

"What about the second one?" Si Nian asked without giving up.

"The second possibility is that it is already a ninth-level demon beast on the verge of achieving enlightenment, and can completely conceal its spiritual power and animal nature like those ordinary creatures."

"But... Junior Sister, I'm not trying to discourage you. If a demon beast like this were a cultivator, it would already be in the late Mahayana stage, just short of transcending the tribulation."

"They usually appear in books. Even I've never seen one."

"Also, if it really is a ninth-level demon beast, it can't possibly... look like that, right?"

Si Nian followed Yu Jiaojiao's gaze.

I saw the black cat lying on the ground with its legs spread out, its eyes narrowed, and its pupils formed into a line.

The tail was wagging intermittently.

When he met his boss's gaze, he glanced at her with disdain.

It patted the ground with its tail, turned over, and continued to bask in the sun.

He looked like a slacker little gangster.

The muscles on Si Nian's forehead twitched.

Why do I feel that... this cat's expression is so mean?

Then I felt someone patting my shoulder.

"As for your comment about it being able to accurately locate spiritual plants...it might be because it has been in the secret realm for so long that it is familiar with it."

"Then...it seems like it can understand me!"

Yu Jiaojiao looked at Si Nian lovingly.

"Junior Sister, if you pluck out a tuft of hair from the top of its head and shake it, how dare it not understand?"

Si Nian: "..."

"Promise me, Senior Sister, that you won't use violence next time. Be patient and compassionate when dealing with demonic beasts! See through their rough exteriors and reach their pure hearts. Remember that?"

“…I’ve got it…”

Yu Jiaojiao touched Si Nian's head with a smile.

She is the only daughter in the family and the only one in the entire mountain.

When I arrived at the Wuji Sect, from the master to the fourth junior brother, all of them were men.

But finally, I have a junior sister like Si Nian, who is extremely destructive but very obedient.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the shouts of an inner sect disciple coming up the mountain from a distance.

"Senior Sister Yu! Is this Hunyuan Beast gnawing on Elder Ge's spiritual field yours?!"

Yu Jiaojiao's expression froze.

The next moment, he pulled out the whip from his waist and rushed out like the wind.

While running, he yelled: "Bi Yue!! Didn't I just feed you?!"

Si Nian: ...The one who just taught me not to use violence in law enforcement...was Second Senior Sister, right?
