Steel Plate Was in a Bad Mood

Tang Ruowei has been in a bad mood lately.

More than thirty years have passed since her troublesome master followed Li Jinyao to the Land Where Gods Fell and never returned.

Thirty years is nothing to Cultivators, but with the person who used to tease her chest for fun gone from the Small Courtyard they lived together, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.

To alleviate this disappointment, she has devoted herself to cultivation for the past thirty years. Not long ago, she broke through her cultivation barrier and is now a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

Unfortunately, she was stuck at the thirty-seventh level of the Fortune Body Forging Technique, which was meant to allow her to defy fate, and encountered a bottleneck.

After emerging from seclusion, she received an invitation from her younger brother, who had Shangxuan Emperor for over ten years. Her Father Emperor and mother had also passed away while she was in seclusion.

Therefore, in order to ease her mind and to understand worldly ties, Tang Ruowei accepted her younger brother's invitation and went down the mountain to Shangxuan some time ago.

Upon returning to Shangxuan, Tang Ruowei, now a Nascent Soul Cultivators, naturally received the warmest welcome from her younger brother. Her clothing, food, lodging, and transportation were all of the highest standard. Even when she went out, the Shangxuan Emperor personally accompanied her. She had never enjoyed such treatment when she was the Grand Princess of Shangxuan.

But Tang Ruowei was not happy after this trip.

The reason for this can be traced back to Tang Ruowei's family tradition. In order to avoid the women in the clan being "cursed" like her, the Shangxuan Imperial Family has always placed full-figured women as the primary standard when selecting male concubines. Even when Imperial Family Princess gets married, the physical standards of the women in the groom's ancestors are examined.

Tang Ruowei is Cultivators, so she is an exception to the Imperial Family. But apart from her, all the descendants of the Shangxuan Imperial Family have followed this ancestral precept.

Unfortunately, this empress was very fertile, giving birth to three sons for her brother.

Thirty years have passed, and even the youngest Prince has married a princess. At the Shangxuan Emperor invited Tang Ruowei to sit in the main seat, and the empress and the princesses toasted her. In Tang Ruowei's eyes, there was a turbulent sea.

This resulted in the girl's murderous intent surging like waves while she was drinking.

To avoid taking action herself, Tang Ruowei hurriedly bid farewell and returned to the Azure Nether Sword Sect on the third night after paying respects to her parents' memorial tablets.

After sleeping in her room in the courtyard of Seven Star Peak, Tang Ruowei intended to go up the Sect Master, but suddenly she saw that the Main Peak of the Azure Nether Sword Sect was crowded with people again.

A group of Qingming Sect Disciple surrounded the Sect Master's courtyard, eagerly peering inside.

When she saw that most of the onlookers were male disciples who had recently joined the sect, she roughly knew what had happened inside.

She bypassed the crowd and flew into the Sect Master's courtyard from the side. Sure enough, a group of beautiful Hehuan Sect disciples of the Hehuan Sect were standing in Jueyunzi's courtyard. They were chatting and laughing in the courtyard, and the small courtyard was filled with the sounds of birdsong and the scenery was as beautiful as a spring painting.

These disciples must have all come with their masters, but Tang Ruowei didn't even need to think about who their masters were.

Ever since Sect Master Su of the Hehuan Sect emerged from seclusion and learned that her old man had disappeared somewhere, she has brought a group of disciples to the Azure Nether Sword Sect almost every year to inquire about him.

Although she was a powerful figure in the Demonic Path, Jueyunzi and the others dared not lead a group to eliminate her. Whenever Su Xiangxue came, Jueyunzi would treat her with great courtesy, regarding her as an honored guest.

Moreover, with the aid of the blood essence of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, Su Xiangxue has successfully Tribulation Crossing after emerging from seclusion. Her current Huangfu Feng, the number one Demonic Path. The charm she exudes in every move and every smile is so captivating that even though she now travels with a veil, Jueyunzi and the others find it somewhat overwhelming.

Even the Sect Master leader is like this, let alone these newbies from the Azure Nether Sword Sect who have only recently entered the sect. Although Su Xiangxue has never shown herself in front of them, the female disciples of the Hehuan Sect alone are enough to make these youngsters lose their composure.

Many of the new disciples of the Azure Nether Sword Sect are now losing interest in their studies, their vital energy is leaking out, and they are becoming increasingly thin, which greatly worries the Sixth Elder, who is in charge of education.

Tang Ruowei bypassed the Hehuan Sect disciples and walked into the house. Some disciples saw her and quickly greeted her. Although they were not very clear about Tang Ruowei's true identity, they had seen Su Xiangxue's attitude towards Tang Ruowei.

Tang Ruowei returned the greetings one by one and came to the door. Before she could knock, she suddenly heard a loud shout from inside.

"Demoness from the Hehuan Sect! What are you doing here at my Azure Nether Sword Sect? Are you looking for death?"

The voice was powerful and contained immense True Essence, indicating a very profound cultivation level. However, Tang Ruowei had never heard this voice before within the Azure Nether Sword Sect.

Judging from his tone, he seemed to be a very influential figure within the Azure Nether Sword Sect, but it was unclear who he was.

However, no matter who it is, they must not let him fight with Su Xiangxue.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruowei quickly went up and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The voice inside the door heard the knocking and asked somewhat impatiently.

"Disciple Tang Ruowei requests a Sect Master Jueyunzi."

Tang Ruowei spoke to the person inside the door.

The sounds inside the door paused for a moment, then Jueyunzi's voice came from inside.

"So it's Aunt Ruowei, please come in."

Tang Ruowei pushed open the door and went inside. She found that besides Su Xiangxue, who was dressed in white and wearing a veil, a dignified-looking middle-aged man was sitting in the main seat, with Jueyunzi standing next to him.

"Jueyun."

The middle-aged man seemed annoyed that someone had interrupted him. He glanced at Tang Ruowei, assessed her cultivation level, and then turned to look to the side.

"Who is this? When did I get such a junior sister? Her cultivation level is so low, and she just barged into the Sect Master's courtyard without any manners."

Jueyunzi cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Master, this is the Personal Disciple that our Martial Ancestor Uncle took in more than thirty years ago."

"What?"

Tang Ruowei saw the middle-aged man let out a soft gasp, and when he turned to face her, his face was beaming.

"So she's a senior disciple from our Martial Ancestor Uncle's school."

The middle-aged man greeted Tang Ruowei with a beaming smile, took her sleeve, and led her inside to a seat.

"I am Zhu Feng. I hold a sinecure as a Grand Elder in the sect and have only recently emerged from seclusion. I was blind to your greatness and hope Senior Sister Tang will forgive me."

"Oh oh."

Tang Ruowei felt somewhat uncomfortable as the highly skilled middle-aged man pulled her to a seat, then glanced at him.

It turns out he was the Grand Elder of the Azure Nether Sword Sect who was in seclusion.

The girl thought to herself.

Bai Qiuran had mentioned to her that the Grand Elder of the Azure Nether Sword Sect was also the former Sect Master, as well as the current Sect Master and the master of all the Elder, so it was not surprising that Jueyunzi treated him this way.

At this moment, Su Xiangxue couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master Jueyunzi, have you heard any news about him lately?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, there's also you, you Demoness."

As soon as Su Xiangxue spoke, the Grand Elder Daoist Zhufeng remembered that there was a leader of the Hehuan Sect standing nearby. He looked at Su Xiangxue and said angrily, "Although I don't know who you are, my Azure Nether Sword Sect Demoness always been at odds with the Hehuan Sect's vixen. Demoness, state your name! My sword Daoist Zhufeng's sword, does not slay nameless demons!"

"Master, I advise you to calm down."

Jueyunzi whispered from the side.

Daoist Zhufeng ignored him, while Su Xiangxue gently bowed to Daoist Zhufeng.

"I am Su Xiangxue, the newly appointed Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect."
