Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Fourth Sister Shang Xiu!

"An old acquaintance? What old acquaintance?"

Liu Ruyan’s eyebrows shot up as she said, "Master has instructed that during this trip, we should not have dealings with the secular world."

Qin Yaotiao hurriedly said, "Senior Sister misunderstands, it’s not about having dealings, but this senior once saved my life in the past. Without his help, I wouldn’t have had the chance to embark on the Immortal Path! In my heart, his position is no less than Master’s!"

"What audacity," Liu Ruyan sneered. "How can a mere mortal be compared with Master? Qin Yaotiao, don’t think that just because you are favored by Master, you can disregard your Senior Sisters once you leave the Sect!"

"Junior Sister wouldn’t dare!"

As Qin Yaotiao was naturally meek, seeing Liu Ruyan get angry over this made her fearful of bringing trouble onto Zhao Chang’s side, so she had to let it go.

"You’re sensible," Liu Ruyan, as the eldest Senior Sister and the strongest among those who had come out, had reached the latter stages of Foundation Establishment!

Actually, she had long been displeased with Qin Yaotiao.

Because of Qin Yaotiao’s presence, Master’s guidance towards her had lessened!

"Senior Sister, Yaotiao is only a newcomer to the Sect and is ignorant of many things. Please don’t hold it against her. We should hurry on our journey! We still have over a thousand li to reach Tianyuan!"

A Junior Sister stepped forward to mediate, and Qin Yaotiao sent her a grateful look.

This was the fourth Senior Sister, Shang Xiu.

"Who asked for your opinion?"

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, then said, "With more than ten of us, we can either find one large carriage or two small ones. Since you’re so idle, you should be the one to go look!"

Shang Xiu was not offended and replied with a smile, "Eldest Senior Sister, since Junior Sister Yaotiao has acquaintances here, she must be familiar with Ten Thousand Demon Town. Why not let her take Junior Sister to look around?"

"Go on, then."

Liu Ruyan was becoming increasingly displeased with Qin Yaotiao and figured out of sight was out of mind. As she gestured with her hand, she added, "Find two small carriages."

She had also decided to split up and ride separately.

"Yes, Eldest Senior Sister!"

Shang Xiu took Qin Yaotiao by the hand and walked towards the mountain exit.

Only after they had left Liu Ruyan’s field of view did she speak softly, "Yaotiao, don’t be angry with Eldest Senior Sister. That’s just how she is."

Qin Yaotiao nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Fourth Senior Sister, for your reminder. I won’t be angry."

She was born lowly, originally just a maidservant in the Lu Family, and was used to being looked down upon.

In her heart, Master was like Lu Chen, who protected her in the Lu Family.

In the Lu Family, had she ever been treated kindly?

Most coveted her beauty and were wary of Lu Chen’s status and position.

Comparatively, within the Xuanji Sect, her generation of disciples were all female cultivators, and after cultivation, each was more beautiful than the last, with their cultivation being the main point of comparison.

Looks were never brought into competition.

Qin Yaotiao had never taken pride in her appearance. Hadn’t it brought her nothing but trouble?

"If you can think like that, then it’s good," Shang Xiu said with a smile. "Are you familiar with Ten Thousand Demon Town?"

She had claimed familiarity in front of Liu Ruyan, but was now asking her again, which made Qin Yaotiao realize that Shang Xiu had deliberately taken her out of the situation, filling her once more with gratitude.

As expected, upon seeing her not respond, Shang Xiu smiled and said, "It doesn’t matter if you’re not familiar. Your senior must be, right? Do you still remember the way? It’s a good opportunity to visit him and also inquire where we can rent carriages!"

"Fourth Senior Sister, there’s really no need to go,"

Qin Yaotiao shook her head, refusing Shang Xiu’s kindness.

"Yaotiao," Shang Xiu sighed and said, "If you don’t visit, there will always be a knot in your heart. Though you’ve entered the Immortal Sect, your heart remains in the secular world. That’s why you’ve been unable to breakthrough to the latter stages of Qi Refinement!"

"Senior Sister, I..."

"No need to say more," Shang Xiu shook her head and said, "Just listen to your Senior Sister! If Eldest Senior Sister blames us, I will protect you!"

Shang Xiu was also in the latter stages of Qi Refinement and naturally wasn’t intimidated by Liu Ruyan.

But her greatest skill wasn’t her realm or strength, but her smoothness in dealing with people!

Seeing how certain Senior Sister was, Qin Yaotiao had no choice but to let it be. She looked around to determine their location and then led the way towards the direction of Zhao Chang’s courtyard.
