Ran Zirou didn't even realize what was happening when the four of them appeared in the VIP room on the Top Floor of the restaurant.
She took a few steps back, wary and frightened, but quickly recovered and regained her composure, revealing a pure and innocent smile.
"Senior brothers, what brings you here?"
Yu Lin walked in with a smile, fanning himself with a folding fan. "Junior Sister Ran, we came to the Mortal World for a visit. What a coincidence to run into you here! This private room is nice. Junior Sister, you're quite wealthy."
Ran Zirou warmly invited the group.
"What a coincidence! Senior brothers and sisters, come in. I'll treat you to dinner. The food at this restaurant is excellent."
The four of them walked in without any ceremony and sat down at the dining table in a very casual manner.
Li Zi was eagerly waiting for the food to be served when she suddenly felt a strong gaze fall on her, sending chills down her spine.
When she looked up, she met Ran Zirou's resentful gaze.
"Is Li Zi coming here to play? What a coincidence!"
Her voice softened, "Senior sister, you didn't know I was here all along, so you brought a few senior brothers to ambush me, did you?"
Reborn into this world, Ran Zirou feels Li Zi.
In her past life Li Zi made things difficult for her.
Although she later extracted Li Zi Myriad Flower Divine Bone, that memory still left a considerable shadow on her.
Li Zi, "..." It really was she who suggested coming here.
Before she could even utter a word, tears streamed down her face.
"I'm sorry, senior brother. I shouldn't have suggested coming here. It's all my fault. I really didn't know junior sister was here, and I didn't follow you. I'm sorry, I will never suggest coming down to the mortal realm again."
She cried with tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered countless injustices.
Her eyes trembled, her eyelashes were wet, and pearly tears fell one by one, making her look incredibly pitiful.
These tears just came so suddenly!
Ran Zirou was shocked.
Although that was indeed the implication in her words, she suspected that she was being followed by Li Zi.
She also suspected that it was Li Zi who suggested coming to the Mortal World with her fellow disciples.
But why did Li Zi start crying first?
Ran Zirou also squeezed out a few tears, "Senior brothers, were you all really following me? Am I really so distrustful of you?"
But now, all three senior brothers have gone to comfort Li Zi, and no one is watching her performance at all.
Bao Yuanwu's face darkened. "Ran Zirou, apologize!"
A cold expression settled on Yu Lin's handsome face. "Ran Zirou, what? We can't come to this city? How can you doubt your junior sister like that?"
Fu Chaoqing's face turned cold, a rare occurrence for him. "Junior Sister Ran, coming here was a unanimous decision on our part. Besides, we're not just coming here; we'll also be traveling to several nearby countries. What? Do we need to report this to you?"
In an instant, Ran Zirou became the target of public criticism.
She was so angry that her face turned ashen.
How so!
These three people always unconditionally protected her in her past life.
How did the person they were protecting become Li Zi?
What went wrong?
Li Zi was overjoyed.
[System, I don't think the original female lead is so scary anymore. My senior brothers are all so kind to me and even protect me. If you know of any fortuitous opportunity or anything like that, remember to tell me. I'll pass the information on to my senior brothers and help them get some benefits.]
The three who defended Li Zi felt extremely gratified.
The difference between Ran Zirou and Li Zi is too great.
The former only knows how to take from them, while the latter is still thinking about how to get benefits for them from the system.
Ran Zirou looked at the three unfamiliar people in front of her, her anger rising and falling.
"Senior brothers, is Li Zi the only junior sister you see? Why are you protecting her so much? I only asked a question, and you're already targeting me like this!"
Yu Lin stared intently at her, then suddenly said softly, "Junior Sister Ran, why don't you go into seclusion after you return to the Sect with us this time?"
If Zhu Min found out what she had done, she would probably kill Ran Zirou even if it meant going against the entire Cultivation World.
Meeting Yu Lin's all-seeing gaze, Ran Zirou felt inexplicably guilty.
Do they all know that she attacked Zhu Liang?
Impossible!
They simply rescued Zhu Liang on the street; even Zhu Liang himself was unaware that his encounter with the bully was a setup.
How could they possibly know?
Forcibly suppressing the unease in her heart, Ran Zirou lowered her eyes in a wronged manner.
"So your senior brothers dislike me that much, and don't even want to see me in the Sect? Fine, I won't return to the Sect for now. You have no right to restrict my freedom."
Li Zi thought to himself, "That's wonderful!"
The system says, "[Ran Zirou is preparing to find her other men, then return to wipe out the Spirit Sword Sect, capture you, and take your Divine Bone.]"
Li Zi rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.
That's too cruel!
Why do we have to target her?
Ran Zirou's men all became powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage and Mahayana Stage later on.
She needs to start cultivating as soon as she returns to her Sect; the sense of crisis is just too strong!
She swallowed hard. "Senior brother, let's go back to the Sect to cultivate tomorrow. I want to learn more Martial Arts Techniques to protect myself."
She's only at the Qi Refining Stage Cultivation now; that's far from enough.
Not wanting to be crushed by the female lead's men, she could only seize the time to cultivate.
Fu Chaoqing patted her shoulder with a smile, "Okay, your senior brothers will teach you some Martial Arts Techniques when we get back."
He turned to look at Ran Zirou, his disgust becoming increasingly evident in his eyes.
"I sent you into Secluded Cultivation to cultivate your character and mind. Now come back with us."
Ran Zirou's face turned ashen with anger. "I'm not going back! Leave me alone!"
