Chapter 41 Li Mixue (1/2)

In reality, not all Inner Disciples had the right to enter the Spiritual Qi Gorge. The Pro-disciples of the five Elders were the only ones free to enter as they wished. The rest of the Inner Disciples required a cultivation plate to enter and the plate was valid for a month. To obtain the plate, they must either use a large amount of Spirit Stones to buy it through connections or win on the battle platform each month.

The crowd began to discuss in low whispers. ”Did Luo Shangyan get beaten up on the battle platform so badly the other day just for this person?”

”Toward the end of the battle, she looked like she had cast her life aside. She actually went and battled a Lv 6 disciple...”

Xiao Chen clenched the jade plate in his hand and the rims of his eyes gradually reddened. How could he not tell that she had sustained grievous injuries? How could he cultivate here with a clear conscience...

Mo Yu chuckled. ”So what if he has a cultivation plate? Does that mean that everyone can just make a cultivation plate and bring someone from outside the sect up here?” He fixed a cold glance at Xiao Chen. ”Hand over the cultivation plate and then scram out of here.”

Xiao Chen's expression swiftly turned dark and his robe shook without the wind. If not for this man, Senior Sister Luo would not be forced to go to the battle platform and sustain such great injuries...

He raised his head and said solemnly, ”Mo Yu, you better not take this too far. If I can kill Ye Fei, I can also kill you. If I put my life on the line in a fight, you have no hope of surviving...”

Mo Yu's eyes narrowed. ”Oh? Is that so? Then I'm really interested in giving it a go and see how impressive your Lv 7 Qi Refining Realm is.”

The crowd fell into shock. ”What?! He's in Lv 7 Qi Refining Realm? How long has it been since he came to the sect? No wonder he could win against Senior Sister Wen!”

Xiao Wan'er and Cheng Ying were also astonished. They felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck them in their hearts. Xiao Han was the only one who was serene as if he had long known about this.

”Hehe, try me then...” Xiao Chen's expression was increasingly dark as a murderous aura soundlessly extended from within him. Everyone in the vicinity could feel a chill down their backs.

Just then, a cold female voice resounded from outside of the crowd. ”Since he has a cultivation plate, I think Senior Brother Mo better not make things difficult for him.”

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and saw a white-clothed girl slowly walking over. She wore no expression on her face. With her sleeves gently swaying in the wind, she looked like a fairy from heaven who had been banished to the Human World.

For a moment, many of the male disciples felt a deep sense of shame over their inferiority in looks and they all looked away from her. Mo Yu smiled. ”So it's Junior Sister Li.”

The girl was the one that Xiao Chen met at the end of the bridge. She cast Mo Yu an indifferent glance without saying a word. She was perhaps the only one out of all Three Pure Sect who dared to act this way with him.

With a cold laugh, Mo Yu promptly walked to the other side. When he passed by Xiao Chen, he said in a low voice, ”Insects remain insects at the end of the day. If you climb to a place that you don't belong in, prepare to get trampled...”

Xiao Chen clenched his fists and his sleeves trembled without the wind. ”Then you can try me...” he said coldly.

”Hehe. I'm the one who placed the Lv 6 Qi Refining Realm disciple...” Mo Yu gradually walked away from him, leaving behind only these words.

Xiao Chen clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles creaked. It was Mo Yu who deliberately arranged for a person to injure Senior Sister Luo.

Moments later, the crowd scattered as well. Xiao Chen walked to the girl and said softly, ”Thank you for your help earlier, Senior Sister. How should I address you?”

The girl glanced at him and shook her head. ”I'm Li Muxue. There's no need for you to call me Senior Sister since I can't be considered an official disciple of Three Pure Sect.”

Xiao Chen was taken aback by how generous with words this girl was with him. He immediately smiled. ”Thank you very much for preparing a cultivation ground for me the last time, Miss Li.” By now, it was impossible for him not to guess that the courtyard was this girl's former dwelling place.

When Li Muxue did not reply, Xiao Chen continued, ”Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Li?”

He felt that this girl had a motive of her own to help him again and again. Similarly, he did not wish to owe favors to this girl as well. It was just right to settle the karma between them.

However, the moment the words left his mouth, he saw the girl's beautiful eyebrows forming a frown. He could not help feeling regretful. Perhaps she did not have any motive in helping him and his words might be a little premature. He chuckled and said, ”I'm sorry. I'm being impolite.”

Li Muxue was still not speaking. A moment later, she sighed and turned around to leave. From afar, he could hear her saying, ”You can't help me...”

”You can't help me...” Watching her gradually retreating figure, Xiao Chen suddenly felt agitated. Her words seemed to carry a sense of helplessness borne out of too many worries.

When evening arrived, Luo Shangyan showed up to bring him back. No one mentioned what had happened earlier and Xiao Chen naturally would not bring it up either. When they reached the mouth of the gorge, they saw figures moving on top of a spacious bluestone platform at a distance. ”Senior Sister Luo, is that the battle platform?” he asked.

Luo Shangyan turned to look at him with a slight frown. ”What's wrong?”

Xiao Chen shook his head. ”One day, I'll definitely step onto that platform.”

Today was like any other day before it, with everyone going to the Spiritual Qi Gorge. This time, Luo Shangyan's complexion had improved a little. However, just after nine am, two white-clothed disciples entered the gorge.

The two of them looked like they were in a great hurry. One of them yelled, ”The five Elders summon everyone to the public square at once!”

In a flash, many people who were meditating and cultivating opened their eyes one after another. They asked the people around them, ”What happened? Why are the Elders summoning us in such a hurry?”

”I have no idea. I just came here too.”

Naturally, Xiao Chen and his friends also got the message. Luo Shangyan wore a deep frown. ”What happened?”

Shangguan Yan looked like she wanted no more than to see the sky collapse on them. ”Hehe! Looks like there'll be a good show to watch!”

Xiao Chen glared at her. ”Why are you so happy? If the sky collapses, you can run either.”
