Chapter 75: Little Lamb, You Can’t Escape My Palm
“Wow!”
The villagers from both villages were so scared that they stood still, not knowing what to do.
“Sect Leader Lin indeed has lofty integrity and knows how to correct his mistakes. I am very optimistic about the future of the HeYi Sect!” Qi Huang said sarcastically. Of course, if Lin Feng’s kneeling was voluntary, she would have spoken in a different tone. After all, as a sect leader, doing this much for the sect was truly admirable.
“We wanted to fight to the death, why did our Sect Leader suddenly kneel?” The disciples of the HeYi Sect, unable to perceive spiritual sense, were filled with grief. Lin Feng couldn’t explain. His eyes burned with anger, and he stood up, trembling. The members of the HongHua Sect tensed up, their hands already resting on their sword hilts, ready to react to any sudden situation. Cheng Hong Ling was an exception. She had reached the seventh level of the Guiyi Realm, only one level behind Lin Feng. If she included her clone, she was confident of victory. The members of the HeYi Sect were also the same. Seeing their Sect Leader humiliated, many had already drawn their swords.
“Let’s go!” Lin Feng took a deep breath and, wisely, led his disciples away from the HongHua Sect. The matter ended there. Qin Quan stepped forward and distributed the money to the villagers. “Everyone, take this money and buy houses in the Prefecture Capital. Don’t return to your original village; it’s not safe,” Qin Quan instructed. The villagers were not foolish and thanked him one after another.
“Qi Huang, by doing this, you have completely fallen out with Lin Feng. You need to be careful of his revenge in the future,” Xu Mei said kindly, reminding her. “Master, don’t worry. He can’t deal with me now, let alone in the future. He’d better behave himself, or I won’t just be talking about destroying the HeYi Sect,” Qi Huang replied confidently.
“Where do you get your confidence?” Cheng Hong Ling walked over with a frown. Seeing her clone bragging without regard for the occasion made her feel like ants were crawling all over her. “Acting! Acting gives me confidence!” Qi Huang pondered for a moment and finally gave a “reasonable” answer.
“You’re going to act again in the future?” Cheng Hong Ling was stunned, her tone suddenly becoming excited. “Yes, as long as I’m alive, I’ll keep acting,” Qi Huang said, clenching her small fist for encouragement. Cheng Hong Ling shook her head in anger. She didn’t know why she had cultivated such a shameless clone, which was detrimental to her “pure and chaste” good reputation.
The matter was perfectly resolved. Qi Huang went back to the Orchid Courtyard to continue growing vegetables, watering them and weeding daily. For added security, she even bought a temperature-measuring “water bottle,” making it look quite professional. Cheng Hong Ling, as usual, went into seclusion to cultivate. Seeing her clone’s unmotivated state, she was truly grinding her teeth in anger. Qi Huang, however, was like “a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.” Before long, the news of her indulging in vegetable growing spread, causing quite a stir.
Not long after, Qi Huang was brought by her Master to Qin Quan for a lecture. “Well… Qi Huang, we old folks aren’t not trying our best, it’s just that our talent is like this. So, the future of the HongHua Sect depends on you. You must understand, right?” Qin Quan said painstakingly. “I understand! I understand perfectly,” Qi Huang replied, nodding her head like a pecking chicken. “It’s good that you understand. We all see how hard your main body cultivates, but you spend all day in the greenhouse growing vegetables. This isn’t good, is it?” Qin Quan started indirectly before attacking.
“I think it’s pretty good. We each do our own duties. She cultivates, and I grow vegetables. Growing vegetables is also a legitimate skill,” Qi Huang said, pretending to be confused. “Indeed! Growing vegetables is a legitimate skill. After all, with so much Yin Energy now, and rarely seeing the sun for days, it’s not easy to grow vegetables!” Qin Quan first affirmed her with a fake show of agreement before continuing, “But the problem is, our HongHua Sect doesn’t lack people to grow vegetables, but lacks cultivation geniuses! Do you understand? You and Cheng Hong Ling are, strictly speaking, one person. It’s impossible to do your own duties!” Qin Quan added after a moment’s thought, “Firstly, you are playing the role of the main body, which is not a good influence! Secondly, if someone wants to deal with her, and you have low cultivation, they only need to deal with you. At that time, you will not only harm yourself but also her.”
“Don’t worry! I will absolutely not hold her back,” Qi Huang promised emphatically. Qin Quan and Xu Mei exchanged a glance, their faces showing confusion. Qi Huang returned to her residence, and her main body was already waiting at the door. “How was it? Got criticized? Serves you right for not listening,” Cheng Hong Ling said sarcastically with her arms crossed. “Yeah!” Qi Huang’s face flushed awkwardly, but she quickly and firmly replied, “So what? I don’t listen at all. He scolds, I grow veggies.” Xu Mei, who was standing nearby, heard this and her expression became extremely interesting. It seemed the Sect Leader had been talking for a long time without her truly listening.
“You’re really asking for a beating.” Cheng Hong Ling gnashed her teeth in anger and then said to her Master, “I told you long ago, for someone who doesn’t listen, all it takes is a beating. Wasting words is completely useless.”
“This… isn’t this inappropriate?” Xu Mei asked with an awkward smile, her face looking unnatural. “What’s inappropriate about it? Not every fifteen-year-old girl is as obedient as me. She clearly lacks emotional maturity and needs to have a complete childhood,” Cheng Hong Ling analyzed reasonably. “You mentioning it reminds me, you are both only fifteen, strictly speaking, you are still children,” Xu Mei said, suddenly enlightened. She then looked at Qi Huang, “Isn’t it because she’s too young that she doesn’t listen? And her temper is also very strange.”
“Yes, yes, yes, that must be it. Why didn’t I think of that earlier,” Xu Mei concluded to herself. “Master! What is it! It’s not like that at all, okay?” Qi Huang anxiously retorted. Her actual age was almost twice that of her main body. “Whether she is or not, let’s beat her up first,” Cheng Hong Ling said without further ado, directly releasing the Soul Bond.
“Joke, how could I fall in the same place twice?” Qi Huang sneered, closed her eyes immediately, and began to escape, while also releasing her spiritual sense to block the Soul Bond. Cheng Hong Ling remained unmoved and, as usual, sent out the Fierce Weapon List with her spiritual sense, while reminding her Master, “Master, close your eyes!” Although Xu Mei didn’t know what was happening, out of trust in her disciple, she immediately closed her eyes.
The Fierce Weapon List unfolded rapidly, and killing intent permeated the surroundings. Even Cheng Hong Ling felt immense pressure. “Heh, my eyes are also closed. As long as my spiritual sense doesn’t sweep over that Fierce Weapon List, what’s the use of your strong killing intent?” Qi Huang thought smugly, but the next moment she was dumbfounded. Although her spiritual sense had not swept over the Fierce Weapon List, a strong palpitation came from her chest, and she was unable to concentrate her spiritual sense, falling from the sky again.
Cheng Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, then flew out with surprise and hugged her clone by the waist. “Why? My spiritual sense clearly didn’t sweep over the Fierce Weapon List!” Qi Huang’s body felt weak and limp, and she was on the verge of tears. ‘Why did this guy get hit when she clearly had her eyes closed and her spiritual sense didn’t sweep over the Fierce Weapon List? If this is the case, wouldn’t Master be in more trouble?’ Cheng Hong Ling put away the Fierce Weapon List and looked at her Master with worry.
Xu Mei, however, opened her phoenix eyes as if nothing had happened and asked, “What happened?” “What’s going on? Why did only this one get hit? There’s no sunlight now, so it shouldn’t be possible to lock onto a target,” Cheng Hong Ling was even more confused. After fiddling with the Fierce Weapon List for so long, she had basically figured out how to use it. Without sunlight, its killing intent couldn’t be fully unleashed, and it was an indiscriminate area attack. Besides that, another weakness was that it was useless if the target closed their eyes. Of course, it was different with sunlight. As long as the reflected light hit the target, it would be useless even if they closed their eyes, and those swords and spears would materialize and attack, with their power increasing with the number of people they had killed.
But now, Qi Huang clearly had her eyes closed, yet she still got hit. Logically, this was impossible. Cheng Hong Ling wanted to think carefully, but due to the influence of the Fierce Weapon List, her heart couldn’t calm down for a while. “Could it be…” Cheng Hong Ling’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she gazed greedily at the clone in her arms, then said flirtatiously, “Heh heh, little lamb, it seems you can’t escape my palm from now on.”
