After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

She threw a tantrum and refused to eat.

Little Luo Huanzhen was stunned when he heard Zhao Qing's words.

"Third Senior Brother, you are genuinely kind to Junior Nephew Su, and you truly don't care about me. You should leave now and don't come looking for me again."

They didn't consider things from her perspective at all.

How could they teach her to use such tricks on her beloved Master Yun Yao? Wouldn't that damage her obedient image?

What should I do if Master Yun Yao dislikes me?

Seeing her like this, Zhao Qing said unhappily, "Zhenzhen, be more magnanimous. It's just a matter of a word from you, why are you unwilling to do it? Is it because you were punished that you feel happy and balanced when you see others being punished?"

Luo Huanzhen: "?"

Luo was genuinely a little angry.

Why didn't I realize before that Senior Brother Zhao's values ​​were so distorted and narrow-minded?

They're quite adept at spouting off about using other people's money.

Just as Zhao Qing was about to say something more, a huge python's head appeared, its scarlet forked tongue like a red ribbon, conveying a strong warning.

Zhao Qing, a frail medical cultivator, was greatly startled.

He took two steps back before remembering that Luo Huanzhen had brought back a Xuanlin Python from the Lingshan Secret Realm.

So he put on a stern face and scolded, "You beast, I am your master's third senior brother! How dare you disrespect me?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Huanzhen glared at Zhao Qing: "Xiao Hei is not my spirit pet, but a friend I invited to the Xuan Tian Sect. Nephew Zhao, you are the one who is disrespectful to my friend!"

Zhao Qing never expected that Luo Zhen would actually side with outsiders, reprimanding him for the sake of a beast.

He looked heartbroken: "Zhenzhen, you've changed, you've really changed completely. The Zhenzhen of the past was so kind and soft-hearted, but now she's like this, like this... Mingyue is right, your reason and humanity have indeed been affected by the demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."

Luo Zhen really didn't want to listen and interrupted him directly: "Since you care so much about Mingyue, then go and take the punishment for her yourself. Don't keep bothering me! Not everyone has to sacrifice their own interests to unconditionally help Su Mingyue!"

Kindness and a soft heart should be given to the right people.

Thinking about what Zhao Qing might do in the future, Luo Zhen really wanted to beat him to death on the spot. How could he possibly scold and defend Xiao Hei for his sake?

Seeing that Luo Zhen was truly unmoved, Zhao Qing sighed with disappointment, "I thought too highly of you and misjudged you... Since that's the case, I won't ask you for anything..."

That tone, that attitude.

Luo Huanzhen suddenly jumped up and threw a punch straight at Zhao Qing's face—

"A perfectly normal person like you, why do you have to grow such a lousy mouth? Take this thousand-year-old turtle punch!"

Luo Zhenhuan started beating people without any warning.

She used both her hands and feet to launch a series of attacks, leaving Zhao Qing with a bruised and swollen face, staggering backward.

"You, you have no sportsmanship! If you're not going to help, fine, but instead you resort to violence..."

"False compassion, false benevolence! Take this biased kick to the heart from the Venerable One!"

"Ouch... Stop hitting me, I'm begging you..."

"I get beaten even if I don't ask for it; just seeing you makes me angry!"

"Incomprehensible! Naughty child!"

Zhao Qing quickly used the Wind Control Technique, retreated several thousand meters, and slunk away from Zhiyun Peak.

Luo Huanzhen put away her little fists, her face flushed red—she was angry at Zhao Qing.

This is outrageous! Why is everyone in the sect opposing Zhenzhen?!

Should she not have come back to Xuantian Sect?

"Hiss~"

The enormous python head came to Luo Huanzhen's side and nuzzled against her.

"Don't be angry, Zhenzhen, your Master Yun Yao is back."

The Xuanlin Python cannot speak; this voice appeared directly in Luo Huanzhen's mind because of the spirit pet contract.

Upon hearing this, Luo Huanzhen looked up and indeed saw Yun Yao's lush, bamboo-like figure appear in the distance.

Her anger and resentment vanished.

She had to return to Xuantian Sect; her beloved Master Yun Yao was still waiting for her here!

"Master!"

Luo Zhen rushed over like a small cannonball and grabbed Yun Yao's leg.

Yun Yao picked her up. "Zhenzhen, what's wrong? Your eyes are red. I just saw Zhao Qing. Did he bully you?"

Luo Huanzhen wrapped his little arms around Yun Yao's neck, rested his head on his shoulder, and whispered a complaint: "Yeah, I bullied you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao readily asked, "That's very unfair. Would you like your master to help you get revenge?"

Luo Zhenzhen shook his head, looking proud and smug: "Zhenzhen gave him a good beating. Zhenzhen vented her anger herself."

Yun Yao smiled slightly, recalling Zhao Qing's bruised and swollen face earlier. It was clear that he hadn't even had time to use any medicine or healing techniques on himself, probably because he was afraid that Luo Zhenhuan would catch up and beat him up.

That's why Yun Yao didn't want to become a medical cultivator in the first place.

Healers are really delicate...

Although... cough cough... Zhenzhen is indeed a super-strong doll... there's no denying that healers are physically fragile.

Yun Yao: "That's really great, you can protect yourself now."

Hearing Yun Yao's words, Luo Zhenzhen nodded earnestly: "Zhenzhen will protect herself. Zhenzhen will also protect Master. Master's dantian will not be destroyed, nor will he be imprisoned by bad people..."

The child's speech lacked logic, leaving Yun Yao completely confused.

But his tone was so solemn, as if he were making some kind of solemn oath, so Yun Yao smiled and echoed, "Yes, Master will also protect Zhenzhen."

Yun Yao had only said it casually, but suddenly felt a dampness on her shoulder, and the little baby in her arms suddenly started to sob softly.

Yun Yao was taken aback, then lowered her long eyelashes and said softly, "Zhenzhen, why are you crying? Don't you believe your master?"

Luo Zhenhuan covered her eyes and said arrogantly, "Zhenzhen didn't cry, Zhenzhen just got sand in her eyes!"

Master.

You weren't lying; you really risked your life to protect Zhenzhen.

……

Su Mingyue eventually came out of the Cliff of Contemplation ahead of schedule.

The solution was for Lin Yichen to take the punishment in her place, as he was going into seclusion to break through and focus all his efforts on reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Luo Zhenhuan broke through to the Cliff of Repentance, and Lei Ziyue also broke through to the Cliff of Repentance.

He decided to try his luck.

Su Mingyue returned to her cave to recuperate. Elder Dan Hong was busy with affairs and only came once or twice a day.

Zhao Qing was mainly responsible for taking care of and treating Su Mingyue.

"Mingyue, take your medicine."

With his help, Su Mingyue got up, drank the medicine from his hand, and took a healing pill.

After feeling much better, Su Mingyue frowned and looked up, saying sadly, "Third Senior Brother, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got injured..."

Zhao Qing said, "Silly junior sister, it's just a minor injury. Don't worry about it."

Su Mingyue bit her lip, her eyes red and her face full of pain. "Senior brother, but Junior Martial Aunt is getting more and more arrogant. She'll definitely target me even more in the future. She already disliked me, and now she has Grandmaster Yun Yao backing her up. Mingyue, Mingyue, maybe we should leave Xuantian Sect..."

Hearing Su Mingyue's words, Zhao Qing also felt sad.

What can we do?

Even the sect leader, Master, was punished and beaten.

However, no one else knew about this except him.

Master has a sense of shame.

Thinking of the whip marks on his master's back that had not yet healed, Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Luo has really changed.

He thought she was just being stubborn for a while and would eventually return to her nest.

Unexpectedly, she showed no mercy and attacked him directly.

She knew perfectly well that he was physically weak and couldn't withstand much damage; even among medical cultivators, he was considered one of the weaker ones.

Zhao Qing continued, "I heard Master and Fifth Junior Brother mention that a senior rogue cultivator wants to visit the Xuan Tian Sect in a few days and stay for a while. He is also at the Tribulation Transcending stage. If only he were our Master... then you and I wouldn't have to be afraid of Luo Huanzhen."

Su Mingyue leaned against Zhao Qing's chest, and her eyes lit up when she heard the news.

Why not?

Although Hengyangzi was the sect leader, he was still overshadowed by his Uncle-Master Yunyao.

She needs to find a stronger backer.

She slowly lowered her eyelids, looking weak, but beneath her eyelashes, an undisguised, burgeoning ambition surged within her eyes.
