Jun Xiaomo's last words completely eliminated the suspicion that she took pills to lower her cultivation level, but there are still many doubts about her sudden drop in cultivation level to Qi training level. After the second elder pondered for a while, he raised his eyelids and asked in a calm tone: "When did your cultivation begin to decline?"
"Back to the second elder, I don't know, disciple." Jun Xiaomo made a bow.
"Not sure?" The second elder raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I don't know. After the disciple was punished for trespassing in the forbidden area, the sect leader checked the disciple's meridians and Dantian. At that time, the disciple's meridians were indeed damaged, but not to an irreversible extent. Unexpectedly Over the past few days, the loss of spiritual energy in the disciple's Dantian and meridians has become more and more serious. By the time the disciple discovers that his hands and feet are weak and the spiritual energy in his body is almost gone, it is already too late, and his cultivation has dropped to the level of Qi training."
There were both truth and lies in Jun Xiaomo's words. She knew that such half-truths and lies were the most difficult to judge.
Even if someone asks He Zhang for confirmation, she is not afraid. She did take the healing elixir given to her by He Zhang, but can anyone explain clearly why the more she "healed", the more "injured" she became? I'm afraid, He Zhang didn't dare to say what he gave him to eat.
Oh, a medicine that can turn oneself into an acquired demonic body... Does He Zhang really think that everyone is a fool
Sure enough, after Jun Xiaomo finished speaking these words, everything became quiet.
It is obvious to everyone how severe the punishment Jun Xiaomo received after trespassing into the forbidden area. It is not surprising that his foundation was damaged because of that punishment.
"Why didn't you report this matter to the sect?" the third elder asked.
"Trespassing into forbidden areas should be punished. If the disciple's cultivation level declines because of this, it is the disciple's own fault. Therefore, I do not intend to disturb the elders' cultivation with such trivial matters."
Jun Xiaomo spoke righteously, looking like a good disciple who thought about the elders.
Pack? She can too, but she doesn't bother to pretend to be pitiful. Jun Xiaomo's indifferent gaze swept over Yu Wanrou, who was sitting aside with her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking.
After Jun Xiaomo said this, the third elder and the fifth elder both nodded appreciatively. It was obvious that Jun Xiaomo's words made her a lot of impression in the hearts of these two elders. However, the second elder was an exception. His eyes looking at Jun Xiaomo became even darker and unclear.
Jun Xiaomo's heart sank, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with the second elder's attitude towards him.
She thought that she had little chance of offending the respected second elder. From this point of view, the second elder might be making things difficult for her for other reasons.
What is the reason? Is it simply because I don't like myself or...
Jun Xiaomo was not allowed to continue thinking about it, but someone interrupted her train of thought again—
"Um... Junior Sister Xiaomo, if your cultivation has really dropped to the first level of Qi training, why don't you feel any discomfort now?" The male cultivator sitting not far away asked hesitantly.
And he was still looking so domineering and pressing every step of the way, the male cultivator added silently in his mind.
Jun Xiaomo glanced at him, and then glanced at the audience with a calm expression. In the eyes of everyone, she saw many of the same doubts and surprises.
Jun Xiaomo narrowed his eyes, suddenly raised his chin, raised the corners of his lips, and raised his voice to everyone: "Do you have to show your physical discomfort? Why show it? Do you want to pity me or sympathize with me? Pity me? , Sympathy, pity, I, Jun Xiaomo, don’t need these, because I am Jun Linxuan’s daughter, and I have my own pride. That’s it for now, you can judge for yourself.” After saying that, he turned away as if he was angry. He turned his head and no longer looked at anyone present.
Didn’t he say that she was “unruly, unruly and willful”? Then she will be "proud" to show them once!
Yes, Jun Xiaomo is indeed "proud" now, but this kind of pride is not offensive. If Yu Wanrou's teary-eyed look from time to time makes people pity, then Jun Xiaomo's injured but gritted teeth look is even more heartwarming and a bit... cute
There is an animal called a "civet" that is like this. Even though it has been injured, it still shows its claws pretending to be calm, trying to show its power and unyieldingness. I don't know why, many people present thought of this. , including Qin Lingyu and Ye Xiuwen, but neither of them showed it on their expressions.
The balance in the hearts of many male cultivators present began to slowly tilt towards Jun Xiaomo, and a sentence flashed in their minds: She is truly worthy of being the daughter of Master Jun Linxuan, and her character is strong enough.
An alarm bell rang in Yu Wanrou's heart! She couldn't help but glance at Qin Lingyu, and found that he was looking at Jun Xiaomo intently in the field, with complex emotions that even he didn't know about in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and shouted in her heart: No! Ling Yu is mine! Jun Xiaomo can't take him away!
As if responding to her inner thoughts, the pain on Yu Wanrou's chest suddenly intensified, causing her to cough uncontrollably, as if she wanted to cough out her heart and lungs.
Jun Xiaomo turned around because of Yu Wanrou's cough, and said in a cold tone: "What, Junior Sister Wanrou, do you have anything else to add? Or... you still think that I am a first-level qi practitioner?" A person like you, who is at the fifth level of Qi training, can hurt you, huh?"
"I'm not... cough cough cough..." Yu Wanrou wanted to say that she didn't cough to express something, but Jun Xiaomo didn't give her a chance to explain.
"Why, aren't you wronging me?" Jun Xiaomo's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, deliberately misinterpreting what Yu Wanrou wanted to say, "Then tell me, why am I so unruly?" How can I bully you, a poor person, so unreasonably, and threaten you unruly and willfully so that you don't tell anyone? Please tell me in detail, don't miss anything."
Yu Wanrou bit her lower lip hard and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The tears this time were not fake, she was really feeling aggrieved - for some reason, whenever she wanted to recall the details of how Jun Xiaomo hurt her, her memory would suddenly become blurry.
It’s like it’s been modified!
Jun Xiaomo narrowed her eyes, and she noticed something from Yu Wanrou's expression.
Yu Wanrou seemed to have forgotten the symptoms of her almost becoming possessed at that moment. It would be better this way. It would be troublesome if Yu Wanrou remembered it.
Jun Xiaomo's mind changed and he put this matter aside for the time being.
She walked slowly in front of Yu Wanrou, looking down at her tears.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that I am really 'unruly and willful'. Look, doesn't this make you cry? I don't know... did my previous reputation of being 'unruly and willful' come from this?" ?”
Jun Xiaomo spoke softly and unhurriedly. Although it was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone because of the silence of the surrounding environment.
In an instant, almost most of the people looked at Yu Wanrou and their eyes changed: Yes, didn't they get their impression of the "unruly and willful" young lady Jun Xiaomo from others? Many people said that Jun Xiaomo often used his background to bully some of his fellow disciples who were not from a good background. Among them, Yu Wanrou was the one who heard about it the most.
However, if this level is considered "bullying"... As expected, the rumors cannot be believed at all.
Feeling the dazzling gazes of everyone, Yu Wanrou really wanted to tear Jun Xiaomo's smile to pieces!
I have been an eagle all my life, but I didn’t expect that I would be pecked in the eye by an eagle today! She had always pretended to be weak before, making it hard for Jun Xiaomo to argue, but now that it was her turn to be the weak one, the anger in Yu Wanrou's heart was blocked in her throat, and she could not get up or get out.
Yu Wanrou bit her lower lip and decided to go all out—she couldn't back down on this matter, otherwise the label of "slandering fellow students" would be pinned on her head!
In the sect, the punishment for slandering a fellow sect is also very serious, and it is impossible for Yu Wanrou not to be afraid of it.
Thinking of this, tears filled Yu Wanrou's eyes and slowly flowed down. She choked and said: "Sister Xiaomo, I don't want to wrong you, but the person I saw at that time was indeed you. What can I do?" What to do? In fact, I don’t want to pursue it, but I don’t want the misunderstanding between us to continue... Ahem, cough... We... Can’t we let go of the past? I won’t care anymore who hurt me... "
Jun Xiaomo straightened up and looked at Yu Wanrou for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Yu Wanrou's eyes flickered, thinking that Jun Xiaomo was planning to go down this stairs, but who knew -
"No." Jun Xiaomo said condescendingly, "It will never be possible to bury the hatchet between you and me, because you are too hypocritical."
Yu Wanrou was choked by what Jun Xiaomo said, and stared at Jun Xiaomo blankly, forgetting to shed tears.
