The Spirit Sword Sect Master narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying a chilling undertone.

"You want to become an enemy of our Spirit Sword Sect?"

The Sect Master of the Hall of Samsara didn't speak, but instead flashed to stand behind the Nine Nether Gate Master, in the most vulnerable spot.

Seeing himself become the target of everyone's criticism once again, the Nine Nether Gate Master admitted defeat, "Alright, I was wrong. I was just saying it; I really didn't mean it."

The meeting continued.

Li Zi was led out by the Immortal Ziyang, sobbing uncontrollably.

Immortal Ziyang sighed, "Xiao Zi, that's the Nine Nether Gate Master. That's just his personality; he's a very gloomy person. He's probably getting scolded inside right now."

Li Zi, her eyes welling up, obediently hummed in agreement.

Tears still streamed down my face uncontrollably.

The Immortal Ziyang took out a packet of Candied Fruit and stuffed it into her hand.

"I heard you've been practicing Martial Arts Techniques lately. Why don't you come and stay with our Sect for a while? Our Hehuan Sect has a special Combat Arts Pavilion. Training there will be a bit tougher, but you'll improve very quickly."

Without a second thought, Li Zi nodded, "Okay."

The Immortal Ziyang's eyes flickered, and his smile grew even gentler.

"Since you're so afraid, then work hard to improve your strength and make yourself invincible, then you won't have to fear anyone."

Li Zi's eyes were bright and sparkling; her dark pupils seemed to have been washed by rain, clear and bright.

"Godmother, I will cultivate very hard!"

The Immortal Ziyang smiled and ruffled her hair. "Good girl."

They have to wait for the Hehuan Sect Master to finish his meeting before they can go back together.

Li Zi then took Immortal Ziyang on a leisurely stroll throughout the entire Spirit Sword Sect.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Zi took Immortal Ziyang's arm and said, "Godmother, Junior Sister Ran is currently in seclusion at the Sect's Repentance Cliff. Would you like to go see her?"

Mentioning Ran Zirou, Immortal Ziyang couldn't help but frown with some disgust.

Ran Zirou was never well-behaved while she was in the Sect.

She would occasionally appear before her dao companion, using tricks to get Mo Feng to find her some spirit medicine and Medicinal Pill for her cultivation.

She'd seen through these children's tricks too many times; she could see right through them.

Little by little, the bond between them as mother and daughter was almost completely worn away.

"No need. Let her cultivate peacefully within the Sect."

The system spoke up at the opportune moment, "[Ran Zirou and Mo Feng have a history. Back when Ran Zirou was at the Hehuan Sect, she often hung around Mo Feng. She kept him hooked, using her beauty to seduce him, and the two almost ended up in bed together. She even got some Medicinal Pill from Mo Feng. Your godmother doesn't know about this.]"

The veins on the forehead of the Immortal Ziyang were faintly visible.

Now I know.

They almost got to that point?

She staggered, feeling a little dizzy.

Li Zi quickly helped Immortal Ziyang sit down beside her and busied herself fanning her.

"Godmother..." she said worriedly, "Do you really like your current dao companion partner? Actually... there are countless men in this world, you don't have to hang yourself on one crooked tree."

Immortal Ziyang rubbed her temples, forced a smile, and patted Li Zi's hand.

"I know, but... sigh, I've been in a bad mood these past few days, so please come to the Hehuan Sect and keep me company."

"Okay." Li Zi nodded obediently.

After the meeting ended, Immortal Ziyang greeted the Sect Master and then pulled Li Zi back to the Hehuan Sect.

On the way, Li Zi started talking to the system, saying that after they arrived, they would help Immortal Ziyang beat up the scumbag boyfriend and girlfriend.

The Hehuan Sect Master pulled Immortal Ziyang aside and whispered, "You know that the Flame Hall brought this girl to the Sect for a while some time ago, right?"

The Immortal Ziyang nodded. "I understand."

The Hehuan Sect Master glanced at Li Zi, whose eyes were fixed on him, out of the corner of his eye.

His voice lowered even further, "Then you should know that the Flame Hall is in complete chaos right now."

I've never heard of that.

Immortal Ziyang looked bewildered. "What's wrong? Has something happened to the Flame Hall lately? I haven't heard any rumors."

The Hehuan Sect Master took a deep breath. "A few days ago, the Sect held its annual competition. During the most intense phase of the competition, the top three all gave up the competition to go and date. Elder Huo was furious, saying that the disciples were neglecting their duties because they had listened to Li Zi."

The Immortal Ziyang revealed a malicious smile.

"That's right! This is exactly the effect I wanted!"

Upon arriving at the Hehuan Sect, they encountered two disciples fighting.

The fox-eyed woman with a high ponytail on the left glared angrily, pointing her Longsword at the oval-faced girl opposite her.

"You've done such a despicable thing and you still won't admit it? Today I'll fight you to the death!"

The girl with the oval face rolled her eyes dramatically.

"What's wrong? Sister, don't accuse me of something unjustly. Embroidered handkerchiefs can be found everywhere in our Sect. How can you be sure that handkerchief is mine?"

The system excitedly exclaimed: [Big news! Host, there's some big news!]

Li Zi. "What kind of gossip? Tell me about it."

At the same time, the sound also reached the ears of two Inner Sect female disciples who were drinking and practicing their zither nearby.

The two rubbed their ears, exchanged a puzzled look, and curiously followed the sound.

The system has already started observing the situation.

[These two female disciples are both inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect. They are cousins from the same Lineage. The one on the left with fox-like eyes is the elder sister, and the one on the right with an oval face is the younger sister. Some time ago, while the two sisters were training outside, they became infatuated with a disciple of the Wind God Sect and began to pursue him relentlessly. The elder sister noticed that the Wind God Sect disciple was wiping his sweat with an embroidered handkerchief and assumed it was a gift from her younger sister, which led to their fight.]
