Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Please Call Me Senior Sister

After flying for a while longer,

Xie Jiuniang stopped; it was Jian Lingyan who had momentarily lost her sense of direction and found a safe place to land.

It was a cave.

It appeared to have been opened up by disciples who had come here for training in the past. Jian Lingyan flew out and made a round in the nearby vicinity.

Xie Jiuniang laid out an Array Plate and took out a meditation cushion to sit on.

The Broken Sword flew back.

Jian Lingyan exclaimed with surprise, "They’re fighting, they’re fighting, people are fighting outside."

"Who’s fighting?"

"It’s the disciples of the Tianxu Sect and Wuji Sect, they’re fighting over a stalk of Dragon Breath Grass."

"Someone found Dragon Breath Grass so quickly?"

"Someone got lucky."

"Then do you know who found it first? Never mind, regardless of who found it first, helping our fellow Sect members is never wrong." Xie Jiuniang was clear on the priorities.

She packed up the meditation cushion and Array Plate in the cave, stepped onto the Broken Sword, and flew rapidly towards the site of the fight.

From afar, she could hear people fighting ahead.

She first probed with her Divine Sense and indeed saw several Tianxu Sect disciples engaged in a brawl with people from the Wuji Sect. Judging by the situation, the Tianxu Sect, with fewer numbers, was at a disadvantage. For everyone to gather so quickly, they clearly had formed teams in advance, used special methods to know each other’s whereabouts, and had regrouped successfully.

Xie Jiuniang saw Ren Bingyan.

Ren Bingyan wielded her Hanbing Sword with exceptional ferocity, single-handedly taking on two opponents.

"Worthy of being a prodigy of the Sect, advancing rapidly. Just a bit behind me," Xie Jiuniang discussed with Jian Lingyan while hurrying forward.

Jian Lingyan agreed completely, "Exactly."

When Xie Jiuniang hurried over, she just happened to see a Wuji Sect disciple making a sneak attack on a Tianxu Sect disciple.

In the first instant, Xie Jiuniang was about to rescue the person.

But someone else was faster than her, who, wielding a spear, impaled the attacker with a single thrust through the heart.

The man who saved the day, with ordinary looks and dressed in the Tianxu Sect’s Inner Sect uniform, had a face that was unfamiliar to everyone; nobody could recall who he was. Only Xie Jiuniang knew.

The man was Mo Chuan in disguise.

Mo Chuan quickly joined the fray.

With his participation, the situation for the Tianxu Sect began to improve.

Xie Jiuniang, standing on the Broken Sword to the side, didn’t immediately join the melee, but started to heckle loudly, "I heard earlier that the Wuji Sect’s conduct hasn’t been too good in recent years, always loving to rob others of their treasures. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I’m witnessing it with my own eyes."

Mo Chuan, who was engaged in the battle, chuckled softly and chimed in, "Sister Yuanxi might not know, but in the Secret Realm, the Wuji Sect is detested by all, like demons and ogres. They suffered a big loss at the Lu Yuan Secret Realm last time, yet that didn’t stop their recklessness."

Xie Jiuniang stood rather elevated.

From her vantage point, with her lovely peach blossom eyes, she glanced sideways at him, "Please call me Sister, as my Cultivation Base has reached the eighth level of Golden Core."

Mo Chuan, "..."

Is that really the point?

The other Tianxu Sect disciples consequently fell silent.

Jian Lingyan stumbled over her words, "Dog owner, don’t make a fool of yourself. Haven’t you noticed that Mo Chuan is also at the eighth level of Golden Core? He joined the Sect before you did, so him calling you Yuanxi isn’t wrong."

Now it was Xie Jiuniang’s turn to be speechless.

Mo Chuan’s rate of Cultivation... was that not rather strange?

Last time at the Longyuan Abyss, he was only at the Initial Golden Core stage... At that moment, she completely forgot that back then she herself was only at the Foundation Establishment.

Xie Jiuniang had mixed feelings about Mo Chuan.

A person from her past life, who had been buried deep in her heart for half her lifetime, was now fated to stand as an enemy on the opposite side. Subconsciously, she didn’t want to see him; as long as she didn’t see him, she could pretend he didn’t exist.

But now his Cultivation Base had caught up to hers.

It’s just inexplicably annoying.

Xie Jiuniang couldn’t help but ask, "You piece of crap, are you saying I’m the Child of Destiny or is he the Child of Destiny?"

"What are you trying to ask?" Jian Lingyan asked in surprise.

"You know how fast I cultivate. Yet, he’s not much worse than me."

"There’s nothing much about that, he even has a Semi-Immortal Artifact, and his destiny is just slightly worse than yours," Jian Lingyan did not reveal the fact that there seemed to be a rich and vibrant breath of life on Mo Chuan, subtle and elusive.

Xie Jiuniang could accept this.

There are skies beyond skies, people beyond people.

However, when it came to fate, she didn’t quite agree.

Privately, she felt that his luck was much better than hers. After all, her life from birth to her eleventh year was utterly mundane, and she had to endure bullying from her elder uncle’s family. Even after leaving the family, her days hadn’t improved much, living every day in constant trepidation.

Her life was just miserable.

Where could one find the carefree life Mo Chuan had, becoming famous as a young man, living life splendidly?

Even though he had recently fallen on hard times, his strength was still apparent.

Mo Chuan helped Ren Bingyan and the others to repel the disciples of Wuji Sect, and the Wuji Sect disciples, knowing they were outmatched, fled faster than anyone else.

Afterward, Ren Bingyan went to pick a stalk of Dragon Breath Grass.

Ren Bingyan expressed her gratitude to Mo Chuan, inquiring about his peak and name, to which Mo Chuan simply said that sect mates should help each other and then left nonchalantly, showing no interest in sharing the Dragon Breath Grass.

At this moment, Mo Chuan thought he had hidden himself very well, not realizing that Xie Jiuniang had already seen through him and, maliciously, said nothing.

Ren Bingyan stepped forward, about to thank Xie Jiuniang, "Sister Yuanxi..."

At the moment of shouting "Sister," Ren Bingyan’s delicate face froze for a second.

"Hey! I’m right here."

Xie Jiuniang responded with particular ease.

It was like drinking a cold tea on a sweltering summer day.

One of the twin jewels of the Eastern Region in her previous life, now addressing her as sister, her vanity had never been so inflated, "You don’t need to mind me, I didn’t lend a hand just now."

"Still, I must thank Sister Yuanxi for speaking up to help," Ren Bingyan bowed with a gesture appropriate among peers, showing gratitude.

The rest came forward one by one, thanking Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang told them not to be polite and then left on her own.

With the matter concluded, there was no reason to stay. Only a few noticed that Xie Jiuniang left in the direction that the Wuji Sect disciples had fled.

Monitored by Jian Lingyan.

Xie Jiuniang easily caught up with a few Wuji Sect disciples.

But for now, she remained hidden in the shadows.

The Wuji Sect disciples were led by one named Wuhuan, who was in the later phase of Golden Core.

Wuhuan currently looked grim, his eyes blood-red with rage, he ground his teeth and said, "Tianxu Sect! Damn that Yuanxi!"

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

Wasn’t it just speaking the plain truth?

She hadn’t even made a move, so how did the hatred shift to her?

Good grief, is there any sense in this?

Xie Jiuniang stroked her chin, feigning profundity, "Little Jianjian, it seems this world really can’t do without me."

"How so?"

"Without me, who would they direct their hatred at?" Xie Jiuniang’s words were careless, but her eyes were dark and focused on those people.

Wuhuan already held deep animosity towards her outside the Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t know how she had become his enemy, but it was certain he wanted to kill her, and at the moment he was leading others to do the same.
