The Naughty Senior Sister
Sticks and Carrots - 2
Thump!
It was Jiqing's voice that involuntarily hit the table near his bed.
"I can't take it ..." Jiqing who had been silent earlier, now began to speak up. His eyes showed a sharp glint, not wanting to accept Wang Jia Li's remark.
"Oh? Which part, can't you accept, Jiqing?" wang Jia Li asked.
"Our death will not be in vain for that long for the sake of First Master!" yelled Jiqing who was already unconcerned about manners when it came to people he respected.
After hearing Jiqing's words, all the faces of the members of the First Master's loyal follower faction hardened uncontrollably.
They still had a low cultivation level, but when it was said that the death they had just experienced was futile, it was the same as saying that their service to First Master was just a waste!
In other words, these zealots really were already unable to discern what was right and wrong when it came to their masters.
Wang Jia Li felt dizzy made these crazy fanatics. He was about to cry due to Jiqing's harsh rejection that had torn down the momentum he had already built up in the beginning. This time, Miao'er who had a stick was indeed more needed, compared to Wang Jia Li who brought carrots for them.
Glancing at Miao'er, Wang Jia Li with a troubled face asked for help.
Miao'er opened his mouth slightly as if saying "Do it yourself." in return.
Sighing tiredly, Xiu Ruolan finally willingly intervened because it was time for her to contribute a little as the Third Miss of the Wind Peak.
"Don't be silly," that was the first sentence that came out from Xiu Ruolan who walked towards Jiqing.
He pointed his slender index finger towards Jiqing, then continued, "Do you think Senior Brother needs followers who only know how to solve problems at the cost of their lives? Don't overestimate yourself, Young Man!"
Both of Jiqing's eyes widened to hear that. His hardened fist, now weakened. He did not have a single answer to deny the other party's final statement calling them too highly self-assessing.
If it was not the satisfaction of succeeding at the top and having possessed the slightest qualification to become a loyal follower of First Master, what else was his name. This time, they were too complacent about the achievements they had just achieved and forgot the main goal of forming a faction. In fact, the strict rules by which once entered would no longer be able to come out, had them broken for easily sacrificing lives on the last fight.
Jiqing simply bowed silently, without a word.
Seeing that, Xiu Ruolan again released another arrow through his mouth.
"Can't answer? That means you are already aware that you have been over-assessing yourself!— See? Only with such an incredible achievement according to your generation that has not been as long as an immortal corn has one big head, what about Senior Brother who has made a feat to make the Wind Peak this big? In fact, it was only the effort of one person, yes, it was the result of the achievements made by Senior Brother alone, while your achievements all along are still very far from the Master you are following!"
If only a broken heart could be heard, there would probably be about five to seventeen times it would reverberate within the room. The pride of everyone there was completely trampled by Xiu Ruolan's remarks, including Ye Miao'er and Wang Jia Li. This was why the two of them did not want Xiu Ruolan to intervene to speak, his tongue was like a double-edged one, not knowing which comrades and enemies, everyone would be affected by it!
'You should only lecture them, don't be so realistic as to hit the point of hurting your own friend!'
'Nima! Third Brother, you always have a sharp and unforgiving tongue. But, can you tell which one is your opponent and which one is your friend? We're here also impacted by your words, two fucking pigtails!'
Wang Jia Li, Ye Miao'er complained in their hearts. Their swearing were made to Xiu Ruolan, who was also affected by his own words. The room was made silent instantly by him, everyone there had completely become moody as if they had just fallen from the height of the highest peak.
...
He cleared his throat once and everyone's attention was immediately turned to the Little Ancestor of Peak Wind.
"It may be too late to say what other goal we came here for, but I'll go straight to the main point after I finish giving you a lesson on the last mission."
Ye Miao'er drew a scroll where the names Yan Xu, Wang Jia Li, Xiu Ruolan and his own. There was an empty space that then started to fill automatically on the part that belonged to Yan Xu. Under the name of First Master of Wind Peak, Qiqi's name was written very neatly which signified that she had agreed to become Yan Xu's direct disciple.
Those who knew the state of Qiqi, began to have a general idea of what Ye Miao'er wanted.
"As you can see on this scroll. The names of the four of us as direct disciples of the Peak Chief were written there, then there was one name that had just been written automatically under the property of Senior Brother. It signified that Qiqi had approved Senior Brother to be her teacher."
Saving back the scroll he had just displayed, Ye Miao'er placed his hands behind his back then said, "With this, we will also make some of you direct disciples. For those who are not elected, there is no need to be discouraged because you can still learn the knowledge we provide through those who are chosen. The difference is only in the status, the treatment we will give to the chosen ones and how they should carry out their duties as direct disciples of us."
Ye Miao'er's beautiful eyelids closed for a moment, then opened up again. Her two beautiful brown eyes looked at Yueqin and Ahn in turn.
He nodded a few times and called them, "Yueqin, Ahn!"
" "Yes, Fourth Miss!" " answered the two brothers in unison.
"Because your blessing is on the strengthening part of the body, will you be my disciples? With my cultivation path, you will reach another height and I guarantee that it can help Senior Brother in the future" Ye Miao'er said.
'Help your mother! You sold Senior Brother to get their hearts!' w.a.n.g Jia Li and Xiu Ruolan shouted inwardly.
After a moment of silence, Yueqin asked innocently, "Why us? Aren't there still many other disciples, Fourth Miss?"
"Because you are the forefront of the combat formation. Of course there are still those who have better blessings than you, but I want you both to be my students because our blessings have something in common even though they are somewhat different."
"Are we going to be tortured every day?" ask Yueqin.
"Of course?— well, it's not torture, it's just part of the practice!" miao'er replied with a smile.
Glup!
It could be clearly heard the sound of Ahn and Yueqin gulping down their saliva. They exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.
The two cupped both hands and gave salutations of respect as a formality.
"Murid Ahn, greet Master!"
"Murid Yueqin, greet Master!"
Nodding a few times, Ye Miao'er with a fairly authoritative expression received their respects. Finally, he obtained two disciples with good blessings, while Wang Jia Li recruited Jiang Nalan as a direct disciple. For Xiu Ruolan, he recruited Jiqing because their specialists were both long-distance.
The four top ranks of the First Master of the Peak Winds Faithful Followers faction had been accepted as direct disciples of the Peak Wind Young Misses. The news quickly spread throughout the members of Peak Wind to cause an uproar for several days.
