"Senior Brother? You've agreed!"
Xiao Jinglan looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Li Xian turned around and asked expressionlessly, "Why shouldn't I agree?"
Xiao Jinglan waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no. It's fine as long as Senior Brother makes the decision."
Li Xian glanced at Shen Qing and then turned back to continue walking down the mountain.
When Shen Qing passed by Xiao Jinglan, she saw him giving her a thumbs - up. She found the disciples of the Five - Element Dao Sect even more incomprehensible.
Apart from Xiao Jinglan, other disciples also showed a look of admiration for Shen Qing.
Thanks to this little episode, Shen Qing managed to strike up a conversation with the disciples of the Five - Element Dao Sect, and the atmosphere was no longer as oppressive as at the beginning.
Li Xian walked at the front, ignoring the chattering sounds behind him.
And from Xiao Jinglan, Shen Qing learned the reason why everyone had such expressions.
She looked at Li Xian with a complicated expression.
She never expected that Li Xian had such an image in the hearts of the disciples of the Five - Element Dao Sect.
There were too few descriptions of Li Xian in the original text. To Shen Qing, he was just the genius in the book who was first used and then perished by Lin Yibai.
Now that she was on the same path as Li Xian, it was just to guard against Lin Yibai.
In Shen Qing's heart, Li Xian used to be just a character briefly described in the book. Now, the Li Xian standing in front of her was much more vivid.
Shen Qing suddenly realized how wrong it was to just regard Li Xian as a character in the book. What was the difference between her and Lin Yibai in doing so?
No matter who they were, everyone had their own stories, personalities, and lives.
If she had the ability, she should save more people.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly felt that she had gained some kind of enlightenment.
But before Shen Qing could think further, she saw a familiar figure standing at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Shen Chuyun?!
Why was he here?!
Shen Qing felt annoyed and didn't even want to spare a glance for Shen Chuyun.
But Shen Chuyun blocked in front of Shen Qing. With a proud look on his face, he scanned the disciples of the Five - Element Dao Sect standing with Shen Qing contemptuously.
Sure enough, Master was right. Shen Qing was really restless. It hadn't been long since she left the Qingyun Sword Sect, and she had already hooked up with the disciples of other sects.
Needless to say, Shen Qing must have used the excuse of being in poor health again to arouse the pity of other disciples. Wasn't this Shen Qing's usual tactic?
Without a second thought, Shen Chuyun was convinced that Shen Qing was restless.
As soon as Shen Qing saw Shen Chuyun's look, she knew what he was thinking.
She felt a wave of disgust in her heart. Why was this brainless fool her younger brother?
"Shen Qing, don't think that just because the male disciples of other sects don't know your true colors, you can hook up with others recklessly. You're so restless. You should have gone to the Hehuan Sect!"
"Not everyone will be deceived by your affected appearance. Don't use the tricks you play on us on others. You've already lost all the face of our Qingyun Sword Sect!"
Facing Shen Chuyun's unbridled sarcasm and slander, even Shen Qing, who had been constantly telling herself to stay calm, was a bit annoyed.
Why did she have to endure Shen Chuyun's inexplicable malice when she had done nothing?
What did he mean by saying that she was restless and hooking up with male disciples!
Which eye of Shen Chuyun had seen it!!
Shen Qing clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. "Don't push me to slap you. Get out of the way!"
Shen Chuyun sneered. "Not pretending anymore, huh? Getting angry, huh?!"
"If you don't want me to say it, then be well - behaved. If you were half as good as Junior Sister Xiaobai, we wouldn't hate you so much!"
Shen Chuyun preached to Shen Qing self - righteously, completely oblivious to the suddenly changed expressions of the disciples of the Five - Element Dao Sect.
Xiao Jinglan frowned as he watched Shen Chuyun's aggressive behavior and also felt extremely disgusted.
He didn't know why Shen Chuyun wanted to belittle Shen Qing in front of them. After a brief interaction with Shen Qing just now, Xiao Jinglan didn't think that Shen Qing was the kind of person Shen Chuyun described.
Moreover, the person who could make their senior brother take the initiative to talk to must not be a person with evil intentions.
He, Xiao Jinglan, blindly trusted his senior brother!
Besides, their Five - Element Dao Sect was the number one sect. There were quite a few female disciples who wanted to hook up with them on weekdays. He had seen those tactics before.
If Shen Qing really wanted to hook up with them, she wouldn't have subconsciously kept a distance from them and behaved properly in speech and actions.
"Fellow Daoist, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Xiao Jinglan endured it for a while but still couldn't help it. He asked unhappily.
Shen Chuyun looked at Xiao Jinglan with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Another male disciple deceived by Shen Qing's appearance. Well, he might as well wake them up so that they wouldn't be deceived by Shen Qing.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm a disciple under Real Person Hengling, and also Shen Qing's... senior brother. As her senior brother, I advise you to stay away from this woman Shen Qing. Don't let her pester you in the end."
Seeing that Xiao Jinglan still didn't believe him, Shen Chuyun continued.
"She always seizes other people's resources by relying on her poor health. She's extremely jealous. Our Junior Sister Xiaobai on the peak was... still in a coma because of her."
"Anyway, you'd better stay away from her."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinglan looked at Shen Qing's tense side face and the slightly red corners of her eyes. He was full of doubts.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Shen Chuyun paused for a moment and then shrugged. "No, but..."
"Since you don't have any evidence, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Neither... But I did see Shen Qing hooking up with male disciples..."
"That's enough! Fellow Daoist, since you have no evidence and didn't see it with your own eyes, why should I believe your one - sided words?"
Shen Chuyun's face turned ashen. He didn't expect that his good intentions would be rejected so mercilessly.
"Humph! Stubborn!"
Shen Chuyun flicked his sleeves and looked at Shen Qing disgustedly.
"You, come with me. Master said that during the experience down the mountain, I'll follow you all the time to prevent you from doing anything that might damage the reputation of the sect."
After saying that, Shen Chuyun wanted to pull Shen Qing over.
For some reason, when he saw Shen Qing standing with other male disciples, he felt extremely irritated.
And Shen Qing, who had been enduring, finally couldn't bear it anymore when she saw Shen Chuyun about to touch her. She raised her arm and slapped Shen Chuyun across the face.
After this slap, the whole place fell silent.
They were cultivators. They usually used magic arts. It had been a long time since they last saw such a simple and crude slap.
This slap didn't cause much physical harm, but it was extremely insulting.
Shen Chuyun's face immediately darkened. He covered his face, his eyes full of anger.
"Shen Qing! How dare you?!"
"Why shouldn't I dare? You claim to be my senior brother, yet you spread rumors about me in front of outsiders like this!!"
"It seems that what we said in the training ground before wasn't clear enough. Shen Chuyun, since you're so sure that I harmed Lin Yibai, then swear here that you saw me harming Lin Yibai with your own eyes. If not, may your Dao foundation be completely destroyed and may you never step into the path of immortality again!!"
"Do you dare?!"
