Chapter 303 Gentle Senior Brother 11 (2/2)
Reading Settings
Lin Wanwan stepped in front of the spiritual plant, forcing a fake smile at Zi Xi.
Her words were extremely malicious.
First, it implied that Zi Xi was pretending to be aloof and keeping to herself, but now she's found a junior brother to protect her.
He even wanted to deliberately steal her opportunity!
She also subtly mocked Liu Zixi for being too old and having too low a cultivation level, implying that she was not worthy of competing with her.
Upon hearing this, Zi Xi's gaze suddenly turned cold.
The items in the secret realm are unclaimed, and resources are scarce on the path of cultivation, so where does the concept of humility and friendship come from?
Besides, what kind of person is this Lin Wanwan?
Even if she doesn't need the Spirit Nourishing Fruit, her fellow disciples at Hidden Peak do.
Therefore, she can ignore provocations, but she will never give up when it comes to resources.
Just as she was about to speak, another cold voice rang out before she could.
"Is this how the Heavenly Evolution Sect teaches you? To steal resources from your fellow disciples?"
"The opportunities in secret realms depend on one's own abilities; age is irrelevant."
"Your remarks are questioning the sect's rules. Apologize to Junior Sister Liu immediately!"
Mu Yuan removed his mask, and the usual gentle smile on his face disappeared, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
If today Little Ice Cube is indeed accompanied by a junior brother, it is not him.
Wouldn't we really be bullied?
His tone was stern and unceremonious, even carrying a hint of the pressure of his cultivation level.
When Lin Wanwan saw who it was, her face turned deathly pale and she trembled all over.
"Mu...Senior Brother Mu Yuan...How could it be you!"
"But, I absolutely didn't mean that..."
Lin Wanwan was so frightened that she stammered.
How could this frail figure be Mu Yuan!
Damn it, that mask concealed Senior Brother Mu Yuan's appearance and figure.
Moreover, she had never seen Mu Yuan so cold before, especially since he was protecting this despicable woman!
"So what do you mean by this?"
"Or do you think that just because you're the Sword Master's personal disciple, everything in this secret realm should belong to you?"
Mu Yuan pressed closer, his eyes sharp.
Lin Wanwan was speechless, feeling both ashamed and scared, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Since they are discovered at the same time, the rules apply: whoever gets it first gets it."
Mu Yuan stopped looking at her and turned to Zi Xi, his tone softening.
Zi Xi glanced at Mu Yuan, very satisfied with his arrangement.
Without saying a word, he moved instantly.
Lin Wanwan also realized what was happening and screamed as she lunged at the Spirit Nourishing Fruit.
However, Zi Xi's movements were faster and more precise.
She didn't snatch it directly, but instead lightly flicked it with the tip of her sword.
A gentle sword aura swept by, and the three Spirit-Nourishing Fruits fell together, landing perfectly in the jade box she had prepared beforehand.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, without damaging the plant's core in the slightest.
Lin Wanwan missed her target and almost fell to the ground.
"Thank you for upholding justice, senior brother."
Zi Xi closed the jade box, not even glancing at Lin Wanwan lying on the ground, and nodded slightly to Mu Yuan.
Her tone remained calm, but it carried a hint of approval compared to before.
Mu Yuan watched her calmly reap the rewards, her profile showing no sign of favor or disgrace, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
She was truly different from those sycophantic female cultivators who blushed and their hearts raced when they saw him.
She is resilient, independent, and calm, with her own principles and bottom line. Even when faced with injustice and provocation, she will only let her strength speak for itself.
"Ugh! It's so dirty!!"
Lin Wanwan watched the two figures leave with a cold gaze, then slammed her hand on the ground in frustration.
Unfortunately, the photographer captured a picture of an ant nest.
Enraged, she conjured a flame in her palm, which burned down all the surrounding spirit ant nests.
