‘Spiritual Essence Sect?’ Elder Su was shocked. Spiritual Essence Sect was one of the main four sections, and Falling Clouds Sect was just a middle grade sect. ‘If I offend Spiritual Essence Sect, I will be in trouble!’
Bai Moyu said, “Elder Su, don’t listen to Yun Chujiu’s lies! How is it possible for a trash like her to gain the favor of an elder from Spiritual Essence Sect? She obviously made up this lie because she didn’t want to hand over the poison recipe!”
“Elder Su, my brother is right. Everyone in Ye City knows that Yun Chujiu is a good-for-nothing who can’t practice cultivation! How can an elder from Spiritual Essence Sect accept someone like her as his disciple?” Bai Morou agreed through gritted teeth.
Elder Su looked at Yun Chujiu in slight puzzlement. All she saw was Yun Chujiu standing tall and straight, full of pride. She did not look the slightest bit diffident.
Elder Su glanced at the people of the Yun family and saw Yun Chushan’s eyes twinkling. She seemed to have something to say. So, Elder Su pointed at Yun Chushan. “You, tell me. Is what Yun Chujiu said true?”
Everyone in the Yun family looked at Yun Chushan. She appeared conflicted for a while before she said with a quivering voice, “Elder Su, my ninth sister has never been able to refine spiritual energy since she was a child, and I have never heard of her having a master before.”
The Yun family members glared at Yun Chushan, but she continued speaking with a whimper, “Why are you looking at me like this? I’m telling the truth. Why aren’t you blaming Yun Chujiu for being selfish and not handing over the poison recipe? Elder Su is showing her a favor by asking her to hand the poison recipe over. Yun Chujiu, give the poison recipe to Elder Su now! If you want to die, don’t drag us into your mess as well!”
While Yun Chushan said this, she snuck a peek at Elder Yun’s reaction. ‘That idiot Yun Chujiu is going to die regardless of whether she hands over the poison recipe or not. And if things go south, the Yun family might be destroyed as well. I need to side with Elder Su to save my life.’
Elder Su knew just what Yun Chushan was thinking of, and she could not be bothered to acknowledge her. She looked at Yun Chujiu, but the dark-skinned lass did not look afraid even when her lie was exposed. She still looked haughty.
“Hey, lass. Did your master give you a memento?” Elder Su was truly wary of the Spiritual Essence Sect. Even if Yun Chushan had already testified against Yun Chujiu, Elder Su did not dare to do anything to Yun Chujiu rashly.
“Memento? No! My master brings me a lot of delicious food every time. It’s gone after I ate them.” Yun Chujiu could not help but say in resignation. She even shrugged for good measure.
“Hmph! What nonsense. Which master on earth would only give their disciple food but no memento?! Elder Su, Yun Chujiu is always lying. Don’t believe her!” Bai Morou screeched.
Elder Su glared at Bai Morou in displeasure, and Bai Morou felt a pressure on her chest. She immediately shut her mouth. Still, she glared at Yun Chujiu with a poisonous look in her eyes.
“Yun Chujiu, you have neither spiritual energy nor a memento. In this case, no one will believe what you say. How about this? I’ll have you come to Falling Clouds Sect as my guest for a while. When your master comes, I can meet him as well.”
Elder Su was not willing to take the risk of offending Spiritual Essence Sect, but she was not willing to give up on the poison recipe just yet. So she came up with an idea. ‘If Yun Chujiu’s so-called master doesn’t come and claim her, it won’t be too late to kill this girl.’
But Yun Chujiu was not scared at all. Instead, she looked eager. “Alright! I’m tired of Ye City anyway. I might as well hang around at Falling Clouds Sect. Big Brother, please head back and tell Grandpa to ask my master to come and pick me up at Falling Clouds Sect when he shows up.”
Yun Chuyi almost burst into tears. ‘Young Jiu, although you’re really good at lying, you don’t have a master!’
