Bai Luochu was a little confused when she looked at the mysterious expression on Pei Qingfeng"s face. He had brought her to a place that looked like a sect. However, in her memory, she failed to recall any sects located in the place they were in.
“Brother Qingfeng, sister-in-law, you two are finally here! The elders have waited a long time for the two of you. Hurry up and enter now!” Ling Xian"er then dragged the two of them inside into the sect before Bai Luochu could say anything.
When she arrived at the main hall, Bai Luochu discovered that Honored Tian Yun was amongst the people sitting before them. She turned to Pei Qingfeng and waited for an explanation.
However, before he could explain to her about the situation they were in, the elders had already asked the servant to bring him away. “Qingfeng, since it has been quite some time since you returned to the sect, you should probably go and visit Ao Xue first.”
Left alone, Bai Luochu raised her guard as she felt that they were holding malicious intentions towards her. She then started to secretly measure the strength of these people and discovered that their cultivation base was indeed unfathomable. Even with her current level of cultivation, she still had to spend a great deal of effort before she could determine their strength.
After they surrounded her as though they were about to interrogate a criminal, Bai Luochu raised the guard in her mind to the maximum before greeting them politely. “h.e.l.lo everyone, I am Bai Luochu from the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. Please guide me.”
Even though Bai Luochu had been polite with her words, she didn"t seem the least bit courteous. After she had finished speaking, she plopped down on a chair, not losing out on her imposing manner.
However, instead of being offended by her actions, all of them felt as though she was an interesting little la.s.s. In front of all these elders, most people would be scared speechless, but Bai Luochu managed to remain composed before successfully repelling the pressure they had placed on her. Looks like that brat picked up a treasure.
No matter how great their impression of her was, they knew that as elders, they had to maintain their image. They took their seats around her and prepared to question her regarding some matters.
“I"ve heard that not only are you an orphan, but you"re also a trash that can"t cultivate. How are you a fit for our Qingfeng?”
“Furthermore, it seems like you"re also related to that evil sect... Who gave you the courage to step through our doors like that? Aren"t you afraid we"ll directly cripple your cultivation and leave you to die?”
“Even though Qingfeng said that you were somewhat capable, I can"t see what"s so good about you…”
Their words resounded in Bai Luochu"s ear and she realized what was going on - This was the case of a ugly daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law. If Pei Qingfeng had warned her in advance, she could have at least made some preparations. However, it"s too late now and she could only deal with him after she got back.
Bai Luochu wasn"t an easy person to deal with, especially after she had resolved her grudges. Not to mention the fact that she had learned a lot of Pei Qingfeng"s bullsh*t after staying with him in the ruins for two whole years.
She decided to teach these arrogant elders a lesson by firing her poisoned needles at them. Panic broke out in the hall as Bai Luochu stayed unfl.u.s.tered in her seat.
Only after the elders have finished dissipating the poison did Bai Luocho speak up, “I"m sure all the elders here understand what I am capable of now. I have no problems answering all your questions, but you might not want to listen to me drone on and on…”
A terrifying smile appeared on her face and she continued, “ It"s true that I am related to the evil sect. In fact, I was the evil dao witch, Bai Luochu. After my death five years ago, I was reborn into the body of a wastrel that couldn"t cultivate. Luckily, I was able to open my own meridians.”
Bai Luochu revealed a playful smile. She wanted to show them some respect, but they started it by trying to climb over her head.
She celebrated secretly when she saw that the elders" jaws were nearly hitting the ground.
As Ling Xian"er was unable to watch the farce play out, she secretly signalled to Honored Tian Yun to help ease the atmosphere.
It was too bad he would be of no use as his mind was blank. He never knew that the girl Qingfeng had wanted to bring back was actually so capable. If he had known that, he would have destroyed Qingfeng"s prior engagement a long time ago!
Seeing that there was no one else she could rely on, she could do it herself. “Excuse me! I think we have seen enough of Sister Luochu"s skills for today. It is about time that Brother Qingfeng has finished catching up with Ao Xue, I"ll bring her to find him right now! Bye!”
“Wait a minute.” Before she could even take two steps, someone stopped her.
“May I ask what your level of cultivation is now?” The person who had spoken was the head of the sect. He had been probing her since the start, but he failed to determine her cultivation realm.
Bai Luochu felt that the old man had been extremely annoying the moment she stepped in, and she no longer tried to suppress herself. She released her aura without holding back, and a wave of pressure descended on him.
The faces of everyone in the hall changed. After glancing at them, Bai Luochu ignored them after seeing all of them nod their head in acknowledgement. Seeing that there was no longer a need to show off, she left the hall with Ling Xian"er.
“To be able to step into the Inaction Realm at the young age of 18 years old... It"s indeed inconceivable.” The sect master fell back into his chair and sighed.
The remaining elders nodded in agreement as well. Never in their wildest imaginations did they expect for her to be in the Inaction Realm.
