"Ah this..."
Ruan Li herself felt lucky. She didn't even ask her master why he accepted her. Instead, she blamed all of this on her being too lucky.
"But you don't have to take it to heart, just make them envious." Mu Jinyang was afraid that Ruan Li would be nervous, so he immediately felt relieved.
Ruan Li nodded, not nervous at all, just a little uncomfortable.
"Sister, look, why are the Mu brothers together with that Ruan Li again?"
At this time, Shui Yunjiao, who was eating, saw them and said with a somewhat dissatisfied look: "It's just that the second young master of the Mu family is kind and helped her during the trial to prevent her from being eaten by monsters. That's all I won’t let go of you shamelessly!”
"Yunjiao!" Shui Yunxi scolded lightly, but his tone was not serious: "Don't make assumptions about others. Ruan Li has just woken up from a coma. The Mu family brothers who completed the trial with her are considered life and death friends. There are many exchanges between them on weekdays. Why is it wrong?"
"Sister! What kind of life-and-death acquaintance?" Shui Yunjiao was unconvinced: "Why didn't you tell me that you saved her life? You should be her savior!"
"She was unconscious at the time, how could she know this?" Shui Yunxi sighed: "Don't make trouble unreasonably!"
"Also, if you want to call me Senior Sister from now on, this is the Tiangui Sect, not our Shui Family!"
"Sister...senior sister!" Shuiyun put down his chopsticks anxiously: "Are you really not in a hurry? Are you not..."
"Yunjiao!" Shui Yunxi's face froze, and he seemed to be really angry: "Stop talking, it's a great chance that you and I can join the Tiangui Sect. We should focus on cultivation and nothing else. Nothing matters!"
Seeing that her always gentle and good-tempered sister was really angry, Shui Yunjiao didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only curl her lips unwillingly: "I know, sister...senior sister!"
"Ouch? Isn't this Ruan Li?"
Ruan Li had just picked up the Lingzhai, holding the food box in his hand, when he turned around and was blocked by someone.
The man in front of him was strong and strong, standing like a wall in front of Ruan Li.
Before Ruan Li could react, several more people surrounded her from the left and right.
Mu Jinyang and the others went to eat first, so Ruan Li was the only one at this time.
He raised his head and looked at the person coming, but he didn't recognize him.
"Is something wrong?" Ruan Li couldn't feel the kindness of the other party, so his face was slightly cold.
"Oh? You're quite arrogant!" Huo Ji raised his brows with a disdainful expression: "You are so arrogant without spiritual roots. You are worthy of being a disciple of Shennong Hall. If it were me, I would be arrogant too!"
"that is!"
"I'm so envious..."
The people next to him also started cheering.
Ruan Li was impatient and just wanted to leave here quickly. The master was still waiting to eat Lingzhai.
She was about to leave, but Huo Ji turned around and blocked her again.
Looking at the food box in her hand, she sneered: "Spiritual food? Why don't you eat it here? Do you feel embarrassed too? A mortal without spiritual roots and spiritual power still wastes spiritual food?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Li felt a force grabbing the food box in his hand. His eyes fell on Huo Ji's palm and found that his palm was glowing with red aura.
"I'll call someone if you do this again!" Ruan Li blurted out anxiously.
But Huo Ji is not afraid, because these days everyone is talking about her, and most people are very disdainful of Ruan Li. To put it bluntly, they are jealous.
He took the opportunity to deal with her, and no one knew how many people were applauding him behind his back!
How could Ruan Li be Huo Ji's opponent with his mere physical body? With a slight effort from the other party, his palm opened uncontrollably, and the food box fell down.
"Crash..." With a sound, the food box fell to the ground, and the spiritual food inside was scattered everywhere.
"Hey, let it go, there's nothing to eat!" Huo Ji laughed when he saw this, with an expression on his face that he wanted to be beaten.
Ruan Li panicked, this was the master's spiritual food.
The sound of the food box breaking finally attracted others to watch, and Ruan Li was immediately surrounded inside.
Unfamiliar faces looked at her coldly.
"Don't you guys know each other yet?" Huo Ji saw this and introduced loudly: "This is the new disciple of our Tiangui Sect, Ruan Li, who has no spiritual roots."
Sure enough, the expressions in everyone's eyes were more complicated now.
"She is Ruan Li? Master's disciple?"
"You are really lucky enough to be able to enter the Shennong Hall and have access to elixirs and plants every day."
"That's right, he has no spiritual energy. If I were better, how much more spiritual energy could I absorb!"
Words of dissatisfaction, disdain, unbearableness, and even contempt spread into his ears, making Ruan Li's mood slightly chaotic.
But she didn't show any signs of cowardice. She had heard this kind of ridicule a lot since she was a child, and it had long been unable to hit her.
She was upset because of the knocked over spiritual food in front of her. The senior brother said that the master's spiritual food was different from others, and he didn't know if there was any extra amount.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a sharp shout came from outside the crowd.
Hearing this voice, everyone consciously made way for them and said respectfully: "Senior Brother Jingchen!"
The man with a stern face walked up to the person and noticed the spilled spiritual food on the ground at first sight.
"Who did it?" Jing Chen glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.
Huo Ji was afraid of the weak and shrank his neck when he felt Jing Chen's gaze, which gave Ruan Li the chance to speak first.
Ruan Li hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother, I came to get spiritual food for Master, but he blocked the way. Not only did he verbally humiliate me, but he also knocked over the food box in my hand!"
As he spoke, Ruan Li pointed his slender fingers straight at Huo Ji's nose.
Huo Ji looked horrified because Jing Chen's eyes had fallen on him.
"Jing...Senior Brother Jingchen, I didn't know this was Master's spiritual food...I...I was teasing her..." Huo Ji was so flustered that he couldn't even quibble!
"It's against the rules of the sect to waste spiritual food. It's still Master's spiritual food. How brave you are!" Jing Chen was selfless and said immediately: "You will be punished by kneeling outside Xuantian Gate for seventy-two hours!"
Seventy-two hours?
Doesn’t that mean we have to kneel for six days?
But before Huo Ji could beg for mercy, Jing Chen scolded: "Go now!"
Huo Ji was frightened and hurriedly nodded and bowed out, but from the corner of his eye, he gave Ruan Li a vicious look.
Ruan Li was too lazy to look at him and hurriedly said to Jing Chen: "Thank you, senior brother, for making the decision for me. My physical body has no power to fight back. I just wasted the master's spiritual food. I don't know how to explain to him."
"Are you Ruan Li?" Jing Chen looked at her and asked.
Because the scattered spiritual food is all vegetarian, Master is the only one in the Tiangui Sect whose spiritual food does not contain meat and fish, so Jing Chen already knows her identity.
Ruan Li nodded.
"Wait here for a while, and I'll get another one for you." Jing Chen didn't say anything else, and turned around and entered the inner room of the dining hall.
