Sisterly Strife

Looking at what Green Bamboo Peak once was, who would believe if someone said this was one of the main peaks of the Yuanji Sect?

Because of this matter, her master had always wanted to classify Green Bamboo Peak as one of the main peaks of the Yuanji Sect as well, but had never succeeded because the rest of the elders held opposing views.

The reason was also very simple, the main peak represented the face of the Yuanji Sect, and Green Bamboo Peak was truly...

There was not even a proper cave abode up there, only a broken stone, which would probably make people laugh their heads off if word got out.

My master will definitely be very happy when she sees Green Bamboo Peak as it is now.

Gu Nian brought Xue Fuyao down the mountain in a flurry, and the two of them came to the market together.

People came and went in the market, looking extremely bustling. At a single glance, there were disciples of all kinds: Outer Sect Disciples in green Dao robes, Inner Sect Disciples in white Dao robes, Personal Disciples in light-gold Dao robes, and of course, the ones with the greatest number were the Menial Disciples wearing gray Dao robes.

Although Xue Fuyao had seen quite a few markets in her past life, and even set up a stall herself, she was still a bit shocked when she saw the market in front of her.

For no other reason, everyone here from the boss to the guests all came from the Yuanji Sect. Calling it a market was less appropriate than calling it the internal cultivation resource exchange meeting of the Yuanji Sect.

"What does Fuyao want to buy?" Gu Nian asked.

She had originally wanted to purchase some high-grade recovery pills and talismans, but considering that this was Fuyao's first time coming, she prepared to accompany her with her purchases first.

Xue Fuyao shook her head. "I don't know what to buy either, I want to look around first. If Senior Sister has things she wants to buy, go ahead first. This is the sect market, there won't be any danger, let's gather here again around dusk, how about it?"

After hearing Xue Fuyao's words, Gu Nian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded as she said, "Alright then. If anyone bullies you, you must tell me, Senior Sister will help you thrash them!"

"Rest assured, Senior Sister. If anyone bullies me, I will definitely come find you to complain."

Gu Nian smiled and ruffled her head.

After the two of them separated, Xue Fuyao walked toward the depths of the market. A streak of golden light flashed rapidly across her eyes, and whether the things on these stalls were good or bad became clear at a glance in her eyes.

Relying on the ability of the Heavenly Eye, she bought quite a few good things even amidst this pile of seemingly ordinary things, such as spirit medicines mixed among some ordinary spirit medicines that looked extremely similar but were far more precious.

These people were exceptionally fond of preserving the root systems when digging up spirit medicines, because in this way, the medicinal properties of the spirit medicines would be preserved more completely, and their value would also be higher.

Just as Xue Fuyao successfully pocketed a rare spirit medicine that had been misidentified, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from not far away, as if people were arguing.

Quite a few disciples who heard the commotion rushed over to watch.

Naturally, this included Xue Fuyao, who had heard the commotion.

In fact, almost the instant she heard the sound, before her brain could even react, her body had already moved.

Carefully putting the spirit medicine away, Xue Fuyao could not help quickening her pace, arriving at the direction from which the noisy sounds came ahead of everyone else, and securely occupying the front row of melon-eaters.

At this time, she also finally saw clearly who the two people currently quarreling actually were.

Those were two women wearing green Dao robes who looked to be fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen. They were arguing over a black bracelet, neither willing to yield to the other. The fierce gazes they cast at each other made her believe it if someone said there was a feud of blood and tears between them.

From the mouths of the people around, Xue Fuyao learned the names of these two people, who were respectively the Outer Sect Disciple Ye Qinxuan and the Outer Sect Disciple Ye Qinfei.

Just by hearing their names, one knew this should be a pair of sisters.

However, when Xue Fuyao learned the names of these two people, she was greatly surprised, because the current appearance of these two people was completely different from their appearance in her memories of her past life.

In her past life, the relationship between these two people had always been like fire and water, the kind where they wished they could do each other to death. But the identities of these two people in the past life were by no means any Outer Sect Disciples, but Inner Sect Heavenly Pride, and even Personal Disciples.

In terms of appearance, they were even known as the twin beauties of the Cultivation Realm-one charming and affectionate, the other cold and untainted by mortal dust. How could they be like this now?

Although they were still very pretty in appearance, it was completely incomparable to their past life.

Thinking of the differences in these two people between the present and the past life, Xue Fuyao's gaze involuntarily fell upon the bracelet they were fighting over.

It was a black bracelet, and one could not tell what material it was. It was even covered with many scratches all over, and there was not a shred of spiritual Qi around its body, making it look like the most ordinary bracelet imaginable.

Even if Xue Fuyao used the Heavenly Eye to look at this bracelet, there was still no change whatsoever.

This was strange. Logically speaking, there should not be anything that could not be seen through by the Heavenly Eye. If it could not be seen through, it meant that this truly was an ordinary bracelet.

Yet watching the two of them refuse to give ground to each other, she felt somewhat doubtful. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?

At this time, Ye Qinxuan and Ye Qinfei seemed to also know that continuing like this was no solution, so each of them called over her own backing.

Whether it was a coincidence or sisterly tacit understanding, these two people actually summoned two Inner Sect Disciples at the same time, and moreover, the master of these two disciples happened to be the same Deacon Elder.

These two men clearly harbored romantic intentions toward the pair of sisters Ye Qinxuan and Ye Qinfei, and started speaking rudely to each other the moment they met.

In the past life, Ye Qinxuan and Ye Qinfei had relied on their own beauty and unique temperaments to make countless male cultivators in the Cultivation Realm fall prostrate before their pomegranate skirts. It was said that even the Young Lord of the Demon Realm was no exception, and it seemed this situation was already beginning to show signs now.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, someone unknown discovered Xue Fuyao, who was watching the show in the crowd, and shouted loudly, "Since neither of you will yield to the other, why not let this Personal Disciple's little junior sister arbitrate?"

A single sentence instantly turned Xue Fuyao from a spectator into the target of public criticism, and the two pairs of protagonists who had been arguing all cast their gazes squarely at her in unison.

Xue Fuyao turned her head to look around, then looked at the protagonists of this incident, blinking a pair of bright, watery eyes and looking exceedingly innocent.

Ye Qinxuan and Ye Qinfei were still clutching tightly to a part of the bracelet, unwilling to let go.

"Fine then, let this little junior sister arbitrate." The two of them spoke almost simultaneously, and then cast fierce glares at each other, as if saying, Don't copy me!

Tsk, truly worthy of being sisters; even when speaking, they had such tacit understanding.

Under everyone's gaze, Xue Fuyao took the black bracelet from the hands of the two. It truly was just the most ordinary black bracelet, and the texture in her hand was also very rough. One look showed it had not been carefully polished-this was nothing more than an inferior bracelet.

So this really was just a case of sisters looking at each other with displeasure.

Xue Fuyao looked toward the stall owner who was selling the bracelet.

At this moment, that person was hiding within the crowd, watching the commotion with great relish.
