Chapter 76 The road is rough
"You do not know?"
"what do you know?"
"This is the direct disciple of the Sect Master of Shangyu Sect, and the eldest daughter of the prestigious Menjing family. She's quite the star!"
"Oh~ So she is Ran Rensha. I heard that this fairy Ran Rensha was able to kill a second-tier Gale Wolf when she was ten years old and established her foundation at twenty. She is no less than Senior Sister Wei. I didn't expect it to be her."
Liu Xingxing had never heard of the Menjing family, but as soon as she heard it was Ran Rensha, she was wide awake.
Ran Rensha, in the novel, can be considered the third female lead. When she first appeared, she looked down on Lu Xihan.
Because she admires strength and likes to confront things head-on, she looks down on Lu Xihan's various petty tricks. On the contrary, she treats those so-called chosen ones with special regard and likes to challenge them at the drop of a hat.
Sure enough, they had only been at Xuanshan Sect for a short time when they picked on Wei Qiushuang.
She looks like a delicate beauty, but she's actually the violent type.
She's neither a particularly good nor a particularly bad person; she just has the temper of a spoiled princess, and she'll fight anyone who disagrees. She doesn't appear many times in the novel, but her presence is still strong, and her character has attracted a group of fans.
Later on, after the female lead repeatedly slapped him in the face and he saved her once or twice, she changed her opinion of Lu Xihan a lot and they became friends.
However, she was later deceived by a scumbag and went into a miasma while retrieving a spiritual medicine for that man. As a result, she was left paralyzed on one side and her dantian was destroyed. She could only live as an ordinary person for the rest of her life.
After learning about this, Lu Xihan immediately helped her get revenge and repaired her dantian (don't ask, it's just that Lu Xihan's cheat is too powerful).
She became a loyal fan of Lu Xihan, and then she was no longer needed. After all, Lu Xihan was about to ascend to immortality, so there was not much for her to do in the mortal realm.
"Oh!"
The commotion on the stage pulled Liu Xingxing back to reality. Seeing the Crimson Fire Fang being sent flying more than ten meters away by Wei Qiushuang's sword, and even seeing stars after being thrown, it seemed that the competition was about to end.
One drawback of beast tamers is that most of their strength depends on their contracted beasts, while they themselves are extremely fragile.
In fact, most cultivators are quite fragile and rely on external objects for defense, unless they specialize in defensive cultivation or pursue body tempering, making their physical bodies extremely strong.
The disadvantages of beast tamers are more obvious than those of other cultivators. Without the support of their contracted beasts, they are no different from ordinary people. Apart from the external objects they can use, they are not as proficient in magic as others.
After all, most beast tamers focus their attention on how to level up their contracted beasts and improve their compatibility, which is similar to cultivating swords and refining sword pills.
However, Ran Rensha was, after all, the sect leader's disciple. Apart from beast taming, she had not neglected other aspects. Seeing that her contracted beast was temporarily useless, she immediately took out a sword and continued to fight with Wei Qiushuang.
But Wei Qiushuang is a sword cultivator. Fighting her with a sword would be suicide. Ran Rensha was a bit too hasty.
When a person gets anxious, they will make many mistakes. Without a doubt, Ran Rensha was subdued by Wei Qiushuang in no time.
"Concession."
Wei Qiushuang withdrew the sword from Ran Rensha's neck, her gentle expression unchanged.
It's just a friendly spar; there's no need to make it look bad.
The Crimson Fire Fang, dazed, trotted back to Ran Rensha's side. Ran Rensha patted its fur reassuringly and gave it two unknown pills to eat. As a contracted beast, the fire on its body could not harm its master.
After it finished eating the pill, Ran Rensha put it back into her spirit beast pouch. She smiled generously, showing no sign of being defeated or losing face: "As expected of the famous Immortal Friend Wei, I have learned a lot today."
Wei Qiushuang didn't show much pride, and said with great composure, "Miss Ranren is not bad either. I look forward to seeing your talent again in the competition."
The two walked off the stage together in a very amicable manner.
With the excitement over, the crowd dispersed, but some people still gathered around the two women, asking them all sorts of questions, making the scene quite lively.
The two, used to such situations, felt no awkwardness and naturally chatted with them.
Liu Xingxing was among those who left.
Now that she had seen the excitement and had nothing else to do, she decided to return to Qiwu Peak. However, instead of using teleportation or flying on her sword, she slowly walked back, which would also help her digest her food.
She ate a lot of food, including three dishes and a bowl of rice, but she liked the feeling of fullness. After all, she had gone hungry for two whole days during her most desperate time, surviving on water.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, that period was truly the darkest time of her life. She almost lost all her ability to take care of herself, and she was like a soulless puppet.
Fortunately, she got through it. Although things didn't go very well afterward, thankfully, she's doing very well now.
Walking along the lush path, Liu Xingxing was in a very pleasant mood, but before she could enjoy it for long, a fight broke out and interrupted her good mood.
"I told you not to steal! Do you dare to steal again?!"
"I didn't steal it, it's mine to begin with!"
"Fine, you still dare to argue? I'll teach you to lie!"
A harsh voice came from the bamboo grove on the right to Liu Xingxing's ears, followed by another burst of punches and kicks.
This place is still at the foot of the main peak, and it's a bit remote, so few people usually come here.
This place is still within the Xuanshan Sect's territory, and there shouldn't be any mortals here. If someone has high cultivation, they definitely wouldn't use their fists and feet to fight others. I guess they're just servants.
"Good grief, are they bullying us?"
Liu Xingxing crept over to see what was going on.
Above a small clearing in the bamboo forest, three people dressed in servants' robes were surrounding a person huddled on the ground.
The person who was being bullied was covered in dirt and blood, but seemed to be desperately protecting something in their arms.
A tall, imposing figure kicked the man on the ground viciously, spat, and said, "You little brat, you've got a death wish! How could someone from a place like that have such a fine jade pendant? You stole Lingling's family heirloom, hand it over now!"
Ring ring, who is it?
Liu Xingxing hadn't noticed before that there was another person standing about seven or eight meters away from those people. He looked young, with a rather handsome face, but he had an inscrutable smile that made his face look wicked. He was also dressed in the clothes of a menial disciple.
The aura was so faint, it was almost nonexistent. No wonder Liu Xingxing didn't notice it.
"I didn't steal her things; these were left to me by my mother..."
The person on the ground spoke very weakly, but remained adamant that he had not stolen anything.
"Ha, how could your crazy mother have such good stuff for you? People from beggar's dens are disgusting! You lie so convincingly, hand it over now!"
Another, thinner one started grabbing at people, but the person on the ground still clung tightly to what they were holding and refused to let go.
"Hey, that's pretty strong! What are you standing there for? Come and help!"
The skinny man shouted angrily at another equally skinny but not very shrewd man.
The person was a beat slow to reply, "Hey, I'm coming!"
Seeing this, Liu Xingxing had no doubts and could immediately imagine the whole story.
Because of her good looks, the young girl usually had many lackeys. One day, she happened to see a young man with little ability carrying such a fine jade pendant.
She happened to like it very much, so she made up a lie and got her lackey to snatch it for her. It was no trouble at all, since the young man had no backing anyway, so she could just bully him.
Seeing that those troublemakers who were forcibly taking things were clearly no good people, and that they were punching and kicking the child who was also a handyman, Liu Xingxing decided to step in and help the poor little guy on the ground.
However, there was no need for her to show herself. Liu Xingxing looked up at the bamboo leaves that were falling from time to time, and then at the group of people who were still wondering what they would face next.
Tiger, the leader, felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, as did the two men who were still fighting.
A bamboo leaf brushed past his ear, suddenly cutting him like a razor blade.
Then bamboo leaves began to fall, and cuts of various sizes appeared on everyone's bodies. They bled but didn't bleed, and although they didn't hurt, they were unbearably itchy, even the girl standing far away was no exception.
"Wait, how could these leaves hurt people?!"
"who!"
The four realized something was wrong, and Tiger, who was in charge, shouted, but they couldn't see a single person around them.
"Something's wrong, let's go!"
The group was immediately alarmed. They were no ordinary people, and this place was Xuanshan Sect. Who knew which powerful figure passing by had helped the kid on the ground? They had no choice but to run away as fast as they could.
Of course, in the eyes of these lowly servants, those above the Golden Core stage were considered great powers.
The group hurriedly fled the scene. The person on the ground looked at the disheveled figures with some confusion. The bamboo leaves above continued to fall as always, as light as feathers.
