📢 New Novel Launch!
Upon hearing the boy’s words, the white-robed inner disciple sneered. He kicked the boy to the ground and said coldly,
“Servant disciples get two spirit crystals a month, why would I care? If you don’t have spirit crystals, get lost. Don’t block the others from testing.”
Even after being kicked, the boy wasn’t angry. He quickly stood back up with a smile and said, “Senior brother, just give me a chance. I’ll repay you however you want, like a horse or ox.”
“There are plenty of people willing to be my horse or ox. Who do you think you are?”
The inner disciple’s body surged with spiritual energy, and the pressure of a True Meridian Realm cultivator radiated from him. He punched the boy hard in the stomach.
The boy groaned and was sent flying.
…
“What’s going on?”
A calm and clear voice rang out from behind.
The white-robed disciple quickly turned and saw a group of cultivators exiting from within Supreme Primal Sacred Ground. Every one of them wore white robes and radiated powerful auras.
At the head of the group was a young woman. Her robe differed from the others, its white was purer, embroidered with drifting clouds.
Seeing her step forward, the inner disciple quickly explained, “Senior Sister Jiang, this person was disrupting the assessment. I was just teaching him a lesson.”
With her appearance, the servant disciples nearby burst into whispers.
“Who is this Senior Sister Jiang?” someone asked curiously.
“Her full name is Jiang Lili, a core disciple of Supreme Primal Sacred Ground,” said someone who had done their homework. “And not just a core disciple, she’s also the Dao Companion of the Sacred Lord's son, Fu Tianming. She’s got serious status.”
“I heard a rumor,” someone else whispered. “They say Senior Sister Jiang was actually forcefully taken into the sect by Fu Tianming.”
Hearing the murmuring around them, the inner disciple frowned and snapped: “Silence!”
Immediately, the crowd fell silent, not daring to speak.
…
Jiang Lili nodded, about to leave, when her gaze unintentionally fell on the black-robed youth nearby.
In that moment, her body froze, visibly trembling. She stared in disbelief and called out, “Mochou… is that you?”
The boy, Jiang Mochou, had just gotten back to his feet. Hearing someone call his name, he quickly turned around.
When he saw her familiar face, his voice trembled as he cried out, “Sister!”
“Mochou, it’s really you?” Jiang Lili still looked stunned. “Where have you been all these years? I thought I’d never see you again.”
“After I escaped that year, I’ve just been wandering on my own. I only just made it back today,” Jiang Mochou replied.
Looking at his ragged clothes, Jiang Lili’s expression turned tender. She said firmly, “Mochou, don’t worry. Now that I’m here, I’ll never let anyone bully you again.”
“I’m fine, sister,” Jiang Mochou forced a smile. But then his expression twisted, and he asked with hatred, “Did that bastard do anything to you?”
“What bastard? That’s your brother-in-law,” Jiang Lili immediately pulled him aside and whispered.
“Sister, what are you saying? Have you forgotten what happened back then? He took you by force!”
Before he could say more, Jiang Lili interrupted him with a calm face.
“Mochou, let the past stay in the past. He’s my Dao Companion now, and your brother-in-law.”
“So you expect me to call our father’s killer my brother-in-law?” Jiang Mochou’s tone turned icy.
“I know it’s hard to accept right away, but you need to let go,” Jiang Lili said softly after a pause.
