C1 He Scolded the Mulberry Tree
The sun has just risen, the sky is clear for thousands of miles, the early bird starts to chirp, the air is like the cool of the night hasn't completely faded away, the warmth brought by the sun only brings a little bit of freshness.
On top of a towering mountain peak, many young men in green robes were busy. They were either fetching water, chopping wood, or sweeping the floor.
On one of the winding mountain paths, a young man in a green robe was cleaning the fallen leaves on the stone steps. He had a pair of very bright black eyes and thick eyebrows. A straight nose, thick lips, oval face, the youth's tender face... His hair was coiled under the back of his head, looking very casual.
His name was Lin Feng, and he was a servant disciple of the Dongling Sect. He had been here for three months, and he was in charge of cleaning the mountain path.
"Why can't I gather my attention? What did I miss?" It was just that he was a little absent-minded. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his black pupils flickered. He was thinking about a problem that had troubled him.
At the same time, there was a group of men and women wearing yellow robes at the foot of the mountain. Their ages ranged from fifteen to twenty, and they were led by a fifteen year old yellow-clothed girl.
This girl had decent facial features, and she was quite pretty. Her yellow robe was tight, and her slender figure was highlighted. If one had to say that there was a flaw, only her twin peaks were slightly protruding, and it was obvious that they hadn't fully bloomed yet.
She walked in front, but no man and woman dared to walk side by side with her. It could be seen how high her status was in everyone's eyes.
Her name was Zhang Xiaoying, and she was the granddaughter of the Dongling Sect's Sect Master. She was a seventh grade Sea Entering Stage inner sect disciple.
Even if the others were all inner circle disciples, with her status, no one would dare to act rashly. They really thought that they were on equal footing with her.
The green robe represented the identity of a servant disciple, the blue robe represented the identity of an inner sect disciple, the yellow robe represented the identity of an inner sect disciple, and the purple robe represented the identity of an elite disciple. As long as one looked at the robe, they would be able to tell the level of the disciple.
"Welcome back, Senior Sister Zhang!" When the servant disciples who were cleaning at the foot of the mountain saw this, each and every one of them revealed a respectful expression. They put down their brooms, retreated to the side, and hurriedly bowed to welcome Senior Sister Zhang.
Zhang Xiaoying had an arrogant air about her. Her eyes were long on the back of her head. Even looking at the janitor disciples made her eyes dirty. She directly ignored the janitor disciples and stepped onto the mountain path.
The other inner sect disciples also did not put the janitor disciples in their eyes. There was even a trace of arrogance at the corner of their mouths. They followed Zhang Xiaoying onto the mountain path and gradually disappeared on the mountain path.
"Sigh! When can we be like them!"
"It's easier said than done to be like them!"
"That's right. I've been in Dongling Sect for more than a year, and I'm only a Fourth Grade Qi Absorbing Stage now. I'm still three grades away from the Seventh Grade Qi Absorbing Stage!"
"I came earlier than you. It's been two years, and I'm only a Fifth Grade Qi Absorbing Stage now!"
The servant disciples watched the group of inner sect disciples leave with envy in their eyes. There was no anger in their eyes. When they thought about how they were still servant disciples, they couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.
Compared to Zhang Xiaoying and the other inner sect disciples, their ages were not much different. The biggest difference was only four or five years, and the smallest was like Zhang Xiaoying. But she was already a Sea Entering Stage Martial Cultivator. What about them? They were still wandering around in the middle and lower reaches of the Qi Absorbing Stage.
It could be seen that the Martial Cultivator was also very particular about being bestowed by the heavens. Whether it was bestowed by the heavens or not depended on one's cultivation speed.
If they were Heavenly Bestowal, they would have become a Martial Cultivator of Sea Entering Stage in a year or two. They would have become inner circle disciples of the Dongling Sect a long time ago. There was no need for them to continue doing miscellaneous jobs that others looked down upon.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoying and the others had arrived at the area Lin Feng was cleaning. They saw Lin Feng cleaning the dried leaves on the stairs. They treated Lin Feng like air and continued to walk up the stairs.
Lin Feng was totally unaware of Zhang Xiaoying and the others' arrival. According to his usual behavior, he swept the dried leaves off the steps and landed on Zhang Xiaoying, who was walking in front of him.
"Whisk! Whisk!" A trace of frost appeared on Zhang Xiaoying's young and tender face, and her eyes flickered with anger. One. A servant disciple actually dared to sweep the dirty dust of fallen leaves towards her and waved his hand. The Spiritual Energy was released, forming a gust of wind that bounced the fallen leaves back.
"Bang!" Lin Feng regained his senses in an instant, and his expression changed. He was just about to dodge when the area of the wind was too large, and there was no way he could dodge it. He could only gather nearly seven hundred streams of spiritual energy on his back to defend himself.
Then, the Spiritual Energy hit his back like a gust of wind. His robe was torn apart, and his body shook. His blood and Qi churned, and the pain swept across his body. His face was flushed red, and his expression was twisted from the pain. His throat rolled, and there were signs of blood spurting out.
At the same time, he lost his center of gravity and fell forward. He could only rely on his hands to resolve the impact. When his palms landed on the stone steps, the numbing pain of the beating instantly spread from his palms.
"How dare you servant disciple not retreat when you see us. You even deliberately played with us. What crime should you be punished for!?" At this time, a seventeen or eighteen year old young man behind Zhang Xiaoying revealed his anger and shouted coldly.
This man was Zhang Xiaoying's pursuer, Yu Hai, a Fifth Grade Sea Entering Stage. He wasn't just an inner sect disciple, he was also the young master of Yu family's village. In order to have a relationship with Dongling Sect, he tried every means possible to show off in front of Zhang Xiaoying.
The other inner circle disciples didn't say anything. They looked at Lin Feng with pity, who had almost become a dog that ate sh * t. They could only blame their bad luck for provoking such a great lady while clearing the mountain path.
After all, they knew Zhang Xiaoying better than anyone else. Even if Zhang Xiaoying didn't say anything, Zhang Xiaoying had hurt Lin Feng on purpose. This was just a lesson. If Lin Feng didn't know what was good for him, the consequences would be very serious.
As for how Zhang Xiaoying was going to torture those people, they had heard about it. They also knew that those people either died or were crippled, and eventually disappeared from the Dongling Sect.
Lin Feng's back hurt, his palms hurt, and he heard the accusation without asking any questions. His face was filled with anger, and his black eyes were flashing with anger. He stood up, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but crack as he took a cold breath.
When he turned around and saw a group of inner circle disciples wearing yellow robes, he naturally knew who they were.
He frowned slightly. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend these inner sect disciples, so he should have held back for a while. He should have taken a step back, but he had suffered such a loss, which made him feel very aggrieved! He was very unhappy!
When he saw Zhang Xiaoying standing at the very front, his heart felt like it was burning. It was boiling, and he couldn't suppress it. He couldn't calm it down!
All the inner circle disciples were stunned by Lin Feng's angry face. When they came back to their senses, they no longer looked at Lin Feng with pity. Instead, they looked at him as if he was an idiot.
They swept the dust on Zhang Xiaoying's body. Even if Zhang Xiaoying hurt you, you should not show it. You should hold it in and apologize. Don't make Zhang Xiaoying hate you!
Why did you show your anger? Don't be like this, okay? It would really make Zhang Xiaoying so angry that she stomped her feet. At that time, , you won't just suffer a little bit of physical pain like you are now, you might even lose your life... [Still no one will uphold justice for you.]
"How dare you, servant disciple, sweep the dust at us just now, and you didn't repent, and you even dared to look at us angrily!" After Yu Hai recovered from his shock, he hurriedly expressed himself. He pointed at Lin Feng and shouted angrily.
He didn't go forward, because Zhang Xiaoying's face was very cold, but she didn't move. He didn't dare to overstep it, because he was afraid that the good impression he had built over a long period of time would disappear completely.
"Senior brother, you opened your mouth and said that I swept the dust towards you. You asked me what crime I should have committed, but you saw me sweeping the mountain path. Why didn't you remind me? Why did you act like a thief? Just because you're inner disciples, your eyes grow on the back of your heads? Now that you've injured me, you won't allow me to get angry?" Lin Feng took a deep breath. The fury in his black eyes did not decrease but increased instead. Standing high up in the sky, he looked down at the group of inner circle disciples in front of him. He said.
To be honest, he was really furious. If he had the same cultivation as before, he would have slapped the person who dared to hurt him to death.
Unfortunately, all he had left was a mouth that deserved a slap!
Zhang Xiaoying's eyebrows stood up when she heard this. She stared at Lin Feng's pupil and a cold light surged out. Her pretty face became even colder and she was ready to kill him.
He actually described her as a thief. Who was she? She was the little princess of the Dongling Sect. Even direct disciples had to show respect in front of her.
Not to mention a servant disciple who was not even an official disciple of Dongling Sect. When he saw her, he had to lower his head and bend down, not allowing her to look at him. Otherwise, it would be blasphemy, and there was no need to mention looking down on her.
Yu Hai, the flower protector, didn't dare to make a sound. He forced Lin Feng to scold him. It would definitely infuriate Zhang Xiaoying. His whole body felt a little cold. He secretly regretted being in the limelight. He was even more annoyed that Lin Feng didn't know when to advance and when to retreat. He just messed up the show once and for all.
The other inner sect disciples did not even dare to breathe loudly. When they saw the coldness on Zhang Xiaoying's face, they all silently mourned for Lin Feng's stupidity in their hearts for three minutes.
Although Lin Feng had the justification, reality would not support the reasoning. It would only be towards power!
"Move aside!" After a while, Zhang Xiaoying retracted her gaze and did not look at Lin Feng anymore. It was as if looking at Lin Feng one more time would disgust her and make her nauseous. She shouted in a low voice.
She endured the resentment and did not act up on the spot. There was no other reason. She was the little princess of Dongling Sect. If she easily blamed her disciples, even if she was not considered a true disciple of the sect, she would still leave a handle on them.
And her grandfather was the Sect Master of Dongling Sect. He would definitely blame her.
After all, if the Dongling Sect were to eliminate dissidents openly, what would the other disciples think? So what? How would they publicize the Dongling Sect?
At that time, the Dongling Sect would seek its own destruction. She didn't want that to happen. Even if she wanted to get rid of Lin Feng, she wouldn't do it openly.
Lin Feng's expression didn't fade from anger, but he didn't dare to block the path. The pain in his body was very deep. He walked to the side and closed his black eyes, which were still flickering with anger.
The inner circle disciples stopped breathing when they saw this. Lin Feng really didn't know the power of Zhang Xiaoying, this tigress. They believed that it wouldn't take long for Lin Feng to disappear from the Dongling Sect.
An insignificant servant disciple, who was two grades higher than the servant disciple, had pissed Zhang Xiaoying off and disappeared. Everyone's heart was as clear as a mirror. Of course, they knew that the disappearance of this servant disciple without any evidence would definitely result in death.
Yu Hai also felt suffocated. Lin Feng closed his eyes and didn't look at Zhang Xiaoying. It was as if Zhang Xiaoying was a common person and wasn't worth looking at.
Fury surged up Zhang Xiaoying's tender face. Her jade-like hands were clenched into fists and she looked like she was about to lose control. The small little bun rose and fell for a while and the fist loosened for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, she took a step forward.
However, when she passed by Lin Feng, Lin Feng was like a wooden sculpture. He was quietly there. His black eyes were still tightly shut and he looked at her as if she was nothing. The corner of his eyes flashed with an incomparably sharp cold light.
Yu Hai's face was gloomy and there was anger in his eyes. When he passed by Lin Feng, he glared at him fiercely and did not say anything threatening in order to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
When the other inner circle disciples passed by, they didn't act like the previous two, but some of them couldn't bear it. They shook their heads and looked at Lin Feng with sympathy.
"She could have beaten me into a pulp, but why did she endure it?" Lin Feng heard the sound of footsteps getting further and further away. He opened his black eyes and looked at the inner circle disciples disappearing from his sight. Then, he frowned.
Although he was very angry and had not lost his reason, he could see that Zhang Xiaoying was very angry and wanted to kill him. However, he did not expect Zhang Xiaoying to stop halfway and did not make a move.
This was a little strange. Who asked a Sea Entering Stage to completely beat him to the ground and even end his life?
She had clearly injured him, why did she not kill him directly? Why did he have to endure this?
