Yun Chujiu and Little Black laughed for a while and continued to collect more herbs. If not for this fellow’s fear of being discovered by Elder Qi, she would have moved the entire spirit herb garden into her storage ring long ago.

From that day onward, Yun Chujiu made use of all the time available to refine the lightning energy released by the strange grass. She faintly felt that she was about to reach the threshold of a breakthrough.

That morning, Yun Chujiu was about to go to the spirit herb garden from the pill refining room when she heard a few outer sect disciples discussing among themselves.

“Have you heard? The people from the Heavenly Gates Sect are here.”

“Of course I’ve heard about that huge gathering. I’ve heard that there are a few pretty female disciples! Especially one called Su Yanran. She’s so pretty and charming!”

“The Heavenly Gates Sect and our Spirit Radiance Sect have always been at odds with each other. What are they here for this time?”

“There’s not much time left before the big four sects’ 30-year competition. They’re probably here to test the waters.”

“Tsk! Our sect leader isn’t stupid. Why would he reveal his true strength? He’s probably just going through the motions.”

“It’s hard to say. After all, it’s a matter of face! However, if the competition is also between the successor disciples and inner sect disciples, we only need to watch the show and the beauties.”

…

Yun Chujiu’s heart moved. Su Yanran? Could it be the Su Yanran she knew? Was she not in the Drifting Cloud Sect? How did she end up in one of the four great sects, the Heavenly Gates Sect? Perhaps it was someone with the same name.

Yun Chujiu did not take it to heart. She stopped for a moment and continued to hop toward the spirit herb garden.

One evening two days later, when Yun Chujiu passed by Yun Chuwu’s courtyard, she heard a faint voice inside and knocked on the door.

She saw Yun Chuqi’s face full of indignation. “This is too much! That Heaven Gates Sect is really too much!”

“That’s right! They don’t have any sense of decency as guests at all. They’re really shameless!” Qing Si echoed from the side.

Yun Chujiu asked curiously, “What’s going on? What’s wrong with the guests form Heaven Gates Sect?”

“Little Jiu, you don’t know about this yet! The Heaven Gates Sect sent people here, yes? According to the rules, it’s our Middle Peak’s big kitchen’s turn to serve the attendant disciples’ meals this time. The people from the Heaven Gates Sect were all shouting rudely. They’re so arrogant.

“They said that Spirit Radiance Sect’s meals aren’t good, and that we must follow their recipes! They were being so picky even after they were done. It’s like picking on the bones in an egg! Alas, they’re guests from far away so we couldn’t say anything and could only endure it. It’s too much!” Yun Chuqi said angrily.

Yun Chujiu nodded. “It’s quite infuriating! But it doesn’t have to make you so angry, seventh sister! Is there anything else you want to say?”

“When two male disciples came to get their meals, they saw that fifth sister and seventh sister were pretty, so they started to get physical with them! Fortunately, Elder Huang and the others got rid of them!” Qing Si saw that Yun Chuwu and Yun Chuqi looked troubled and took the initiative to speak.

“What? ! F*ck! They actually bullied members of the Yun family! They’re really tired of living, aren’t the?! I won’t go to Elder Qi’s place tomorrow! I want to see who doesn’t care about their lives so much that they dare bully Yun family members!” Yun Chujiu said angrily.

Yun Chuwu sighed. “Forget it! With Elder Huang and the others, we won’t be at a disadvantage. Besides, we’ll rest tomorrow and avoid them.”

Yun Chujiu rolled her eyes. “Just rest as you usually would. I haven’t gone to work for a long time, and I just happen to miss Elder Huang and the others. I’ll go to work tomorrow.”

How could Yun Chuwu be at ease? After trying to persuade her for a while, she still could not dispel Yun Chujiu’s thoughts and could only say, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll all go to work. Little Jiu, let’s make a deal first. You can’t cause trouble. They’re Spirit Radiance Sect’s guests. If you offend them, the sect leader will definitely punish you.”

“Fifth sister, don’t worry. If they don’t provoke me, I definitely won’t take the initiative to provoke them.” Yun chujiu secretly added in her heart. ‘I would only beat them until their teeth were all over the ground!’
