My Master Knows It All

149: 120 Sweeping or Looting_1 149: 120 Sweeping or Looting_1 Ling Xi couldn’t understand why everyone was running away when she hadn’t done anything.

What was going on with the people in the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace?

Before she came, her master hadn’t mentioned anything about the situation here.

She’d better find her junior brother and sisters first and ask about what was happening here, to avoid inadvertently embarrassing her sect.

Taking advantage of the fact that not everyone had run away yet, she hurriedly called out, “Senior brothers and sisters, do you know where the other disciples from Four Treasures Peak are?”

“Inside, if you walk straight along this path to the very end, you’ll find a house with a stele outside inscribed with the characters for ‘Heaven,’ ‘Earth,’ and ‘Human.’ They’re in the house.”

From a distance, a disciple shouted back, but didn’t stop, quickly disappearing from Ling Xi’s sight.

“How odd, why are they running?

It’s this road, right?” Ling Xi followed the path as directed, continuing forward.

Fortunately, along the way, she saw many people who did not run away upon seeing her, unlike the group before.

In fact, when she found the stele inscribed with the characters for ‘Heaven,’ ‘Earth,’ and ‘Human,’ a crowd had even gathered to watch from afar.

“Who’s that?

A newcomer?”

“What is she up to?

Is she going to knock on the Hidden Dragon Three Sons’ room?

To challenge those three guys?”

“Yu Haitang and his group are not around, I guess this newcomer must be a tough piece, beat them up, and then they told her that the most powerful here are the Hidden Dragon Three Sons.”

“She’s seeking out those three mischief-makers?

How foolish she must be.”

“Now there’s a spectacle to see.”

A schadenfreude expression appeared on many faces; some of them had also challenged the three from Four Treasures Peak.

They hadn’t challenged the Hidden Dragon Three Sons when they were injured because they knew that even if they won, once the Hidden Dragon Three Sons recovered, they could reclaim their title.

But challenging the three from Four Treasures Peak was different; those three had taken the Hidden Dragon Three Sons title while they were injured, and they felt they had a chance.

As a result, the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace had seen an increase in casualties recently.

Now, no one dared to challenge the Hidden Dragon Three Sons anymore.

Today, when a newcomer finally came to challenge the Hidden Dragon Three Sons, how could they not watch the excitement?

“It should be here.” Ling Xi looked at the stele beside her, walked to the door, and lightly tapped the verdigris-covered door knocker a few times.

She didn’t know what the knocker was made of; it was just a light tap, yet it made a tremendously loud noise, as if someone was pounding on the door.

Inside the room, sitting on the ‘Earth’ mat, Xiang Ziyu opened his eyes upon hearing the knocking and said to Yan Yourong and Bei Yan beside him, “What are these people thinking?

I’m the main character; they can’t possibly defeat me, yet they keep coming to challenge me, interrupting my cultivation.”

As he spoke, he stood up impatiently and, while walking towards the door, shouted outside, “Which one of you is courting a beating this time?

Was I not hard enough on you last time?

Believe me, this time I will break your legs.”

In the midst of speaking, he had already reached the door and flung it open with both hands.

Instantly, sunlight poured into the dim room, and he saw a familiar figure in his view.

Senior sister?

Xiang Ziyu was dumbstruck; what had he just said?

Break someone’s legs?

His senior sister’s legs?

Thank goodness he hadn’t said something about breaking a dog’s legs.

That… those really weren’t the words a main character should say; it was all a misunderstanding.

Luckily, his senior sister was forgiving.

He was thinking about how to blag his way out when a clear, cold voice tinged with surprise came from the side.

“Senior Sister.”

Yan Yourong had already seen Ling Xi standing outside the door.

“Senior Sister?” Outside, the disciples of the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace froze, hearing Yan Yourong’s address.

Was this person also from Four Treasures Peak?

There were only so many disciples at Four Treasures Peak; how did all of them end up in the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace?

As they were stunned, Xiang Ziyu had already raised his hands, apologizing to Ling Xi, “Senior Sister, I was wrong, I didn’t know it was you.” The senior sister was forgiving; he could get past this, but if his second senior sister heard what he had just said, she might chase him with a sword all the way to Four Treasures Peak.

Everyone knew the second senior sister always respected the senior sister!

Although he was strong and considered himself the main character, he could not really fight his second senior sister; he had to apologize first.

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Ziyu with dissatisfaction, schooling him, “You’re not wrong for not recognizing me; you’re wrong for being so arrogant, always talking about breaking legs.

What are you trying to do?

Have you forgotten how our master taught us?

There are heavens beyond heaven, people beyond people; we must keep a low profile!”

“Yes, yes, I was wrong, Junior Brother won’t be so arrogant again,” Xiang Ziyu apologized repeatedly.

Ling Xi nodded slightly, “Seeing as your apology seems sincere, go back and copy ‘I was wrong’ a thousand times and that will suffice.”

From a distance, the crowd watched Xiang Ziyu nodding like a chick pecking rice, continually admitting his mistakes.

They looked at each other, feeling that the sky of the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace was growing darker.

Xiang Ziyu was the most arrogant of the Hidden Dragon Three Sons, always talking about being the main character and so proud.

But upon seeing his senior sister, he instantly turned submissive.
