Senior Uncle, He Harassed Me-Beat Him Up!

Who would have thought he was still such a pushover in front of his wife? He had even kowtowed to his father-in-law several times, each thump ringing out.

Just imagining the scene made them laugh.

They would never be able to look at Thunder Sect Master the same way again. The moment they saw him, they would picture him bowing and scraping before his wife, all his mighty, overbearing presence gone.

Li Zi cackled for a while before she heard the system say, [Host, Host! Medicine King Sect's Sect Master is heading this way.]

Senior Uncle, He Harassed Me—Beat Him Up!

Li Zi was baffled. [Huh? Here?]

[Yes. That young girl escaped and is running this way. Medicine Sect Master's fake son went after her. When Medicine Sect Master returned to the sect and found his fake son missing, he got word of it and came after them.]

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Medicine Sect Master's son was named Yao Hui. He had been fairly well-known in the Cultivation World for years.

He was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius alchemist of the Medicine King Sect.

As for whether Yao Hui often harassed the sect's female disciples, they knew nothing about it. Not even a whisper had ever leaked out.

They had thought they would only hear what happened next through that voice. Getting to see it unfold before their eyes was an unexpected bonus.

Li Zi found it odd. [Wait, why is that girl running this way? Did she pick a direction in a panic? But this place is quite a distance from the Medicine King Sect. It can't be that much of a coincidence.]

The sound of the system flipping through pages rang out again.

[Oh, so this girl is a new disciple taken in by the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master. Oh! She also has the extremely rare Azure Lotus Yin Body, and an Azure Lotus Demon Flame naturally formed in her dantian. She has a pure fire Spiritual Root. Her talent is already exceptional, but once the Azure Lotus Demon Flame inside her is awakened, her cultivation speed will shoot through the roof. She'll be an absolute cultivation prodigy!]

In an instant, every stunned gaze landed on the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master.

The Five Elements Sect's Sect Master jolted.

He was still taking in everything that voice had revealed.

He had taken in that young disciple just this year. Her name was Meng Ning.

She did indeed have a pure fire Spiritual Root, which already made her a promising seedling.

But pure Spiritual Roots were not especially rare in their sect. They had disciples with ice, water, and earth roots, so he had not paid her much attention.

But if she had the Azure Lotus Yin Body...

Then he had found a treasure!

That physique was rarely seen even once in ten thousand years!

Once the demon flame inside her was awakened, she could reach Foundation Establishment in one year, Nascent Soul in three, and Spirit Transformation in ten!

A disciple beside him said quietly, "Master, Little Junior Sister really hasn't come back for several days. Could it be that she really..."

[Host, the girl knew her master was coming here today to take his disciples into the Secret Realm. That's why she's running this way with everything she's got. She wants to ask him for help.]

Li Zi grew anxious and stood on tiptoe to look toward the Five Elements Sect.

[What do we do? She won't get caught, will she? Should I warn the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master?]

The system's voice rose to a shrill pitch. [Oh no, she's about to be caught! She's so pretty. Don't let him catch her! Run!]

Li Zi finally stepped forward, about to speak.

But the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master let out a thunderous shout.

"How dare you lay a hand on my young disciple, you scoundrel!"

The shout carried such powerful spiritual energy that it flattened a broad swath of the surrounding forest.

At the edge of the dense woods, the man who had been reaching for Meng Ning with a vicious grin was struck by the blast. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next instant, the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master appeared behind Meng Ning.

A flush of excitement rose in Meng Ning's deathly pale face.

"Master, save me!"

The Five Elements Sect's Sect Master grabbed Yao Hui with one hand and hurled him to the edge of the valley's cliff.

Yao Hui was a handsome man, but there was something rakish about his features. His eyes darted about, and one look told you he was no gentleman.

Thrown there, he was disheveled and bewildered.

As soon as he came to his senses, he straightened his clothes and stood tall.

"Five Elements Sect Master, what are you doing?"

Meng Ning was about fifteen. She had grown tall and slender, graceful in form, with the first hints of the cool bearing of an Immortal.

She was in a sorry state too, with cuts across her face. Her expression was icy, as though she had not been the one desperately crying for help moments ago.

Seeing Yao Hui still putting on an act, Li Zi cursed him inwardly.

[That bastard's still pretending! Sect Master, get him!]

The corners of the Five Elements Sect's Sect Master's mouth lifted slightly.

When he looked back at Yao Hui, his eyes were cold. "What were you trying to do to my disciple?"

Yao Hui's gaze flicked over Meng Ning. "She's your disciple?"

"Oh." Yao Hui's eyes rolled. "I saw this young lady in danger and wanted to save her. I didn't expect you to see us, Sect Master. Perhaps you misunderstood."

Meng Ning frowned. "That's not what happened, Master. He..."

The words rose to her lips, but she could not bring herself to say them.

How could she?

Could she say that Yao Hui had held her captive for days?

Once she said that aloud, her reputation would likely be ruined for good.

She was not afraid for her own reputation. She was afraid her master would force her to marry Yao Hui.

Yao Hui was Medicine King Sect's Sect Master's son. Surely her master would not rashly offend him for the sake of the truth.

That scum! She refused to marry him!

The best thing to do was stay silent.

Meng Ning lowered her eyes and clenched her teeth without speaking.

Yao Hui smiled smugly. "See? Even Miss Meng has accepted it. I was trying to save her."

If they had not been able to hear Li Zi's thoughts, everyone might have been fooled by Yao Hui's sanctimonious act.

Li Zi was almost bursting with anger.

[This world is far too harsh on women. Yao Hui was the one who held her captive, but if word got out, everyone would say she'd lost her virtue, and she'd be forced to marry the man who hurt her! That's why Meng Ning won't explain. It's infuriating!]
