Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Just as Fengling rolled up her sleeves, ready to make a big splash, the disciples of Baicao Peak looked at each other in bewilderment, and one by one they kept backing away.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan was about to stop her, but Elder Mu Qian from Baicao Peak beat him to it.

"The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak are indeed arrogant. A late-stage Golden Core cultivator bullying a disciple who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage? Do they think I, an elder, am dead?"

Mu Qian was around thirty years old. Although her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, she had a good temperament.

At this moment, she glanced coldly at Feng Ling and stood in front of the group of Hundred Herbs Peak disciples.

With the elders' protection, the disciples grew bolder once again.

"Their Xiaoyao Peak is just being unreasonable. They've monopolized the Monster Forest for five months and won't even allow other disciples to speak out."

"Yes, Elder Mu, you are at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, how could she, a mere late-stage Golden Core cultivator, possibly succeed?"

"And Bai Xiaobai is only at the first level of Qi Refining, why is he dominating the Monster Beast Forest for so long?"

"We are all disciples preparing to establish our foundation, and the Demon Beast Forest also contains the spiritual herbs and demon cores we need. If she hadn't occupied the Demon Beast Forest, perhaps some of us disciples would have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Peak Master Shen, as the master of one peak, shouldn't you give us, the other disciples, an explanation for this matter?"

"..."

Shen Ji had no intention of getting involved in this matter at all. Today, he was simply there to pick up his junior disciple who had "completed his studies" and return to Xiaoyao Peak.

"Sect Master, the weather is lovely today. It's been a while since I visited your Lingxiao Peak. How about we go for a stroll together now?"

Li Qingshan naturally didn't want to be caught in the middle, so he nodded repeatedly when he heard Shen Ji's suggestion.

"I happen to have some things to discuss with Junior Brother Shen, so let's hurry up and go."

After he finished speaking, his eyes locked onto the furtive Xuanhu, who was preparing to take advantage of the chaos to return to the Monster Forest.

Xuanhu, who was being stared at, felt a chill run down his spine, and then his body involuntarily retreated.

"I don't want to go back to being your watchdog! Let me go! Li Qingshan, forced love is never sweet, and a forcibly bound tiger is never loyal. I advise you to quickly release the restraints. Otherwise... Waaah, you... let me go! Little princess, Ah Yin... quickly save the tiger!"

Faced with Xuanhu, who wanted to ask for help but was silenced by a spell, Bai Xiaobai spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help.

As for Ah Yin, it had long been fed up with Xuan Hu's nagging and couldn't wait for it to leave.

So, to the astonishment of all the disciples, Xuanhu was dragged away with tears in his eyes.

Ling Tian and Feng Ling had long been used to their master's hands-off management style, and even Bai Xiaobai had completely adapted.

Therefore, the most unacceptable people at the scene were the disciples of Baicaofeng and the two elders.

"Why did the sect leader leave? Wasn't he supposed to uphold justice for us? Why did they leave?"

"Elder, what should we do now?"

The two elders were also dumbfounded, never expecting that Li Qingshan and Shen Ji would leave them behind.

The wind chimes did not back down at all, and even took another big step forward.

"You wanted justice, didn't you? Come on, if you can beat me, then come and talk about justice with my Xiaoyao Peak. And you two elders, why don't you come at me all at once? Anyway, your purpose was just to cause trouble. Now that the sect leader is gone, you two can show off your skills."

Mu Qian was enraged by Feng Ling's words.

"How dare you! We are elders from Hundred Herbs Peak. We are here today because your Free and Unfettered Peak has monopolized our disciples' cultivation resources, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ling Tian interrupted her coldly.

"Monopolize? Elder Mu, have you forgotten that the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak have hardly ever used the resources of this Demon Beast Forest? Not only the Demon Beast Forest, but also other resources within the sect for disciples' cultivation—how much have we used? Even if my junior sister cultivated in this Demon Beast Forest for ten years, it wouldn't be excessive at all."

"Our Xiaoyao Peak only has six disciples. Compared with the resources used by your other peaks, I think the two elders are well aware of the difference in resources we use for cultivation."

"So it's utterly ridiculous that you came to the Monster Forest today to cause trouble and demand that Xiaoyao Peak give you an explanation."

Bai Xiaobai really loves her domineering senior brothers and sisters. Being protected by them makes her feel incredibly safe.

During their time together in the Monster Forest, she developed a tacit understanding with Changling and Ayin.

So the man, with his sword and a tiger, silently retreated to a safe area, waiting for his two senior brothers and sisters to deal with the troublemakers from Baicao Peak.

Changling also kept its promise to Bai Xiaobai and would not reveal that it was a natural disaster for the time being, and naturally it would not speak anywhere other than Xiaoyao Peak.

Mu Qian was speechless after being rebuked by Ling Tian, ​​and could only look to Yuan Song, another elder beside her, for help.

Yuan Chong is an elder of Baicao Peak whose strength is second only to the peak master Ye Qingcheng. He broke through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm three months ago.

As for Elder Mu Qian, her strength is at the late Golden Core stage.

In terms of strength, the two elders of Baicao Peak are clearly far superior to Fengling, who is in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and Lingtian, who is in the great perfection of the Golden Core realm.

Yuan Chong naturally understood Mu Qian's meaning, and the reason he came to this monster forest today was also because of Mu Qian.

He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, since the cultivation resources of the Hundred Herbs Peak disciples didn't necessarily have to come to the Monster Forest.

But he had always liked Mu Qian, while Mu Qian had always been indifferent to him.

So when Mu Qian came to him that day, he impulsively agreed to it.

After hearing what Ling Tian said, he also felt that Xiaoyao Peak had not done anything wrong.

After all, what they said was true.

But when the person he likes finally asks for something, even if he's in the wrong, he can only stand on the same side as her.

Yuan Chong stepped forward, shielding Mu Qian behind him, his tone relatively calm.

"Elder Ling, while what you say makes sense, it's still wrong for Xiaoyao Peak to set up a barrier around the Demon Beast Forest. How about you have Bai Xiaobai apologize to the disciples of Baicao Peak and promise not to monopolize the sect's cultivation resources in the future? Then we can consider this matter settled, what do you say?"

Bai Xiaobai finally understood.

The barrier was set up by his own master, but the apology specifically named him and demanded that he apologize.

They just think she's the weakest. Even though she has the title of a princess of the spirit world, what's the use?

After all, this is the world of cultivation, where strength is everything.

These people just want to pick on the weak.

But she's no pushover; she's the beloved junior sister protected by her sect.

Even if her cultivation level was terrible, she didn't think her senior brothers and sisters would agree to this suggestion.

After hearing what Yuan Chong said, Feng Ling and Ling Tian both turned cold.

"Elder Yuan, think things through before you speak."

"Apologize? Why should my junior sister apologize?"
