Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 32 Sect Grand Competition (7)

After a busy day, the disciples gathered again on the field.

Luo moved his aching wrists in the water, waiting for the elders to announce the final results.

Wen Lian had already left without anyone noticing.

Lu Da and a group of elders came out to greet them with smiles.

"Well done, go and rest now. Tomorrow is the individual competition, so keep up the good form and keep it up tomorrow!"

"understand!"

The group of trusted followers scattered in a panic.

"Let's go, I'm exhausted after climbing mountains all day."

"As expected of the five major sects, they actually managed to hunt down so many ghosts."

"We were too late. You didn't see it. The five major sects are indeed worthy of their name. They can still hit the target every time with such a broken bow. Especially that girl from Xianyun Peak, she fired three arrows. She didn't shoot ghosts, she shot my heart."

"Don't get carried away with your fantasies. That's the second senior sister of Xianyun Peak. Look at her and the senior brother of Xianyun Peak, they're such a perfect match. Stop daydreaming."

"Hey, why is it that only the five major sects found the ghost today?"

"They have the ability, that's all."

"Don't you find it strange? You didn't see the scene at the time. I think the five major sects almost went to war with Wen's family."

"What's so strange about that? It's normal for sects and families to have some minor conflicts."

"I can't explain it either. Never mind, these things are none of our business."

"That's true. Let's go eat, I'm starving."

"Senior sister, let's go too."

Those who cultivate the Tao have sharp ears and keen eyes, so these idle gossips naturally reach their ears. However, as for the truth, there's probably no need to explain too much to them.

"Let's go."

Luo Zai Shui had no interest in these pointless topics; she took Su Wu Si's hand.

"Let's go, you must be tired today, go home and get some rest."

"what--"

A piercing scream was hard to miss, but no one stopped to offer any help.

Because the perpetrators of the violence were members of the Wen family, and the injured were also members of the Wen family.

"Hurry up and go, don't provoke the Wen family. They're disciplining their own people, so don't meddle."

Su Wusi recognized the Wen family member who had been robbed earlier that day at a glance. She tried to pull Luo Zaishui away, but she saw a trace of pity in Luo Zaishui's eyes.

My senior sister is always so kind-hearted.

She didn't have much of an impression of this Wen family member, but she figured they must be someone who had been bullied for a long time, otherwise why wouldn't they dare to fight back?

"Didn't you say you were a great archer? Where were you? You made us lose the match, and you'll regret it if the young master is unhappy!"

The man clutched his head, stammering, "I...I got separated from you, and then my bow disappeared..."

The leader kicked him hard: "Your own bow is gone! Who are you trying to fool? Are you doing this on purpose? I bet you're a spy for those guys from the Five Great Sects!"

"I...I didn't...I didn't..."

"No?" The man became even more aggressive. "You still dare to argue? If I don't beat you up, you won't know who you are. Don't think that just because your mother slept with the head of the family, you can rise to the top overnight. A bastard is a bastard! A worthless slut that nobody wants!"

"Hey, hey, third brother, let's stop this. Don't let it escalate into a fight. It'll be hard to explain if the patriarch asks."

"Pah!" The man spat in his face. "You son of a bitch, a family could have as many as you want, why would they care if this guy lives or dies!"

Luo Zai Shui couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to stop them: "The Wen family sets the rules, but the Wen family members themselves don't abide by them. It seems that the Wen family is nothing but a bunch of treacherous people."

"What did you say?"

The leader was furious and, seeing Luo Zai Shui standing up for that person, was about to cause trouble for her.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, the person suddenly lost his arrogance.

"Ah, so it's Miss Luo. I was blind and offended you. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Luo Zai Shui carefully examined the person in front of her. Just a moment ago, she was so arrogant, but now she was afraid of the bow and arrow in her hand.

She gave a mocking smile: "It's not an offense, but my junior sister and I just saw this young master of the Wen family causing trouble in public, and you passersby were also half witnesses. How so? I remember it was a rule set by the Wen family that troublemakers would be disqualified from the competition."

The man began to break out in a cold sweat: "Yes, yes, Miss Luo is right. But we were just disciplining a good-for-nothing junior in our clan. We barely saw him during the entire competition. We were just teaching him a lesson. It doesn't count as causing trouble, it doesn't count as..."

"Oh? Is that so?" Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow. "I think he's about to be beaten to death by you guys."

"How could this be, how could this be..." The man was sweating profusely. "We just hit him a little too hard. We'll take him to get treatment in a bit."

"Oh?"

Luo Zai Shui crossed her arms and stared at him intently, and the man dared not make any further moves or say anything.

The wounded boy struggled to open his eyes. He immediately recognized the female cultivator who had helped him up earlier that day. Blood blurred his vision; something must have gotten into his eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes.

This is the first person to stand up for him since his mother died.

Luo Zai Shui naturally wouldn't let those people take the boys away. If they really did, the boys would likely be doomed.

She sighed inwardly. After all, she was now entangled in karma, and she couldn't just leave the boy alone.

Su Wusi tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Senior sister, even if we save him now, he will still be bullied in the future."

Luo Zai Shui patted Su Wu Si's hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, I have a way."

The man couldn't hear Luo Zai Shui's conversation, and he didn't dare to provoke them. If they really started fighting, their swords would be no joke.

What are you still doing standing here?

Luo asked in the water.

"Understood, understood, we'll take him to get treatment right away!"

After he finished speaking, two people tried to carry him away.

"Wait a minute." Luo Zai Shui called out to them, "My junior brother is nearby. He's the disciple of the Jade-Faced Yama. Treating this little injury won't be a problem for him. You can let him do it. Moving things around like this, there's blood all over the ground."

"Alright, alright! Thank you very much, Miss Luo!"

Before they could finish speaking, the group scrambled away.

Su Wusi chuckled and showered her with compliments: "It has to be Senior Sister. As soon as you open your mouth, they don't dare to utter a single word."

Luo Zai Shui frowned: "Don't speak so vulgarly, and stop hanging out with your senior brothers."

Su Wusi stuck out her tongue: "Oh—then what about him?"

"What else can we do? Let's try to save him first. Can't you see he only has one breath left?"

Luo Zai Shui handed him a bottle of pills: "Take this first."

Without saying a word, the man took the bottle of pills, poured them all into his mouth, and swallowed them.

Luo Zai Shui smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"

The man stared intently at Luo Zai Shui, then asserted, "You wouldn't, you're a good person."

"Why do you say that? Just because I helped you?"

"Correct."

After firmly stating "yes," the man saw the bow in Luo Shui's hand, and his eyes trembled: "You..."

Luo Zai Shui smiled and returned the bow: "I'm sorry you suffered an undeserved misfortune, but we had no choice. We also need to fight for our own survival."

The man opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

He suddenly chuckled and said, "Thanks."

Luo Zai Shui asked, puzzled, "What are you thanking me for?"

The man stood up unsteadily and bowed to her: "My name is Wen Qi. I thank Miss Luo for saving my life."

Luo Zai Shui quickly helped him up: "I can't accept this courtesy. You've suffered this undeserved misfortune because of me..."

The man kept his head down and did not get up. He said in a low voice, "Please help me, young lady. I want to leave this place. I'll go anywhere, even as a menial disciple on Xianyun Peak. As long as it's not here... anywhere is fine."

"Wu Si, let's take this young master to find Xue Xin."

"it is good."

Su Wusi knew that her senior sister had agreed to this matter.

Wen Qi limped behind them, gradually moving away from the Wen family.

"Senior sister, how do you plan to help?"

Luo Zai Shui leaned close to her and asked in a low voice.

Luo Zai Shui smiled and said, "It's not that I want to help, it's that he's figured it out and decided to leave."

Su Wusi asked, puzzled, "You figured it out so easily? And what about the Wen family...?"

"Because through me, he knows that no one in this world will help him for no reason. Staying in the Wen family is either a dead end or he will live the same life every day. If he is smart, he should choose to leave immediately. As for the Wen family, who would care about an illegitimate child?"

Xue Xin was startled to see a blood-soaked figure following behind his senior sister.

He applied medicine to Wen Qi, and the man didn't open his mouth the whole time. He didn't cry out in pain when the medicine was applied to the wound, but his red eyes betrayed him.

Before leaving, Wen Qi found Luo Zai Shui.

He bowed to her solemnly again: "Zheng Qi thanks Miss Luo."

Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow: "Isn't your surname Wen?"

The man shook his head. "The surname Wen is not good. My mother's surname is Zheng, so I will take her surname."

Luo Zai Shui smiled and said, "The journey ahead is long and arduous; I hope you take care."

Zheng Qi twitched the corners of his mouth; he hadn't smiled like that in a long time.

He waved goodbye to his friend, whom he had only known for two days: "Miss Luo, we shall meet again someday."

"May we meet again someday."

He left without taking anything from the Wen family, only carrying the bow and arrow that Luo Zai Shui had stolen. After that, everything about the Wen family was no longer his concern.

Shi Ming suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "You think you can pick up people on the street?"

That sounds rather sarcastic.

Luo Zai Shui touched his nose: "When you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help, haha."

"The Wen family..."

Shi Ming was somewhat worried.

Luo Zai Shui looked in the direction the person had gone and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. If all else fails, just say that the person insisted on leaving. The Wen family can't do anything about it."

Zheng Qi sneezed not far from where he had left. He tightened his thin coat. Autumn was coming, and it was time to go back to his hometown to collect medicinal herbs.
