After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 181 Borrowing Money

"Why are you here?!"

Ye Danqing was so frightened that he sat up straight in a flash. Then he hissed, clutched his chest, and frowned.

Why does he have pain in several places on his body? Especially in his chest, it feels like his ribs are broken...

"Ahem, we happened to see you after we arrived in the Void Illusion..."

Seeing Ye Danqing's reaction, Chu Wenqing touched his nose somewhat guiltily.

Although he kicked Ye Danqing several times to vent his anger, he didn't kick him in the chest! It wasn't his fault! It was Lin Ji who used his full strength!

Ye Danqing frowned, subconsciously looking around, and found himself lying in a large patch of white flowers. Not only him, but all the other members of the Tianyi Sect were also lying in the flowers, a strange smile playing on their lips!

Ye Danqing wasn't stupid. Thinking back to his dazed state before he fainted, and connecting it with the current situation, he quickly came to a conclusion—something was wrong here!

"What on earth is going on?!"

Chu Wenqing didn't hide anything and quickly told Ye Danqing the details, leaving Ye Danqing feeling as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turning pale.

So that's how it is! Because of these stone flowers, the entire Tianyi Sect perished here! They almost! They almost suffered total annihilation here, becoming nourishment for the flowers!

and……

Ye Danqing glanced at Chu Wenqing, who was smiling smugly, and revealed an expression even more unpleasant than if he had swallowed a fly.

What he found most intolerable was that they had actually been discovered by the Lingxiao Sect! In the end, it was Chu Wenqing who saved him!!

Ignoring Ye Danqing's displeasure, Chu Wenqing asked in a self-satisfied manner, "Ye Danqing, I saved you, so you don't have anything to say? Really? The top disciple of Tianyi Sect, you can't even repay a debt of gratitude?"

"..."

Ye Danqing would certainly repay the kindness! But Chu Wenqing's tone was so rude! His words were infuriating! Damn it, my hands are itching!!

Ye Danqing took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Then she wiped her face and took out a bottle of Heaven-Rank Pills from her storage bag, handing it to Chu Wenqing with a cold expression.

"This is a Healing Pill that I personally refined. It can heal internal injuries and replenish spiritual energy. One pill can be sold for five high-grade spirit stones, which is quite valuable. As payment for saving...me..., that should be enough, right?"

"Enough is enough!"

Upon hearing how valuable the pill was, Chu Wenqing's eyes lit up, and he accepted it without hesitation. Afterwards, he couldn't help but chuckle and praise Ye Danqing, "You're quite perceptive; it wasn't in vain that I saved your life!"

Although he was merely using what Su Luo had given him as a favor, pouring the small portion of Frost Lotus Water directly into Ye Danqing's mouth, he hadn't expected Ye Danqing to be so generous, promising to give the pills to Su Luo upon their return!

Ye Danqing was initially quite distressed, but seeing Chu Wenqing's worthless, mercenary smile, she couldn't help but frown, a flash of disdain crossing her eyes.

It's just a Heaven-Rank pill, look at how naive he is...

Well, at least the other party saved him, so giving them a pill is justified. Their Tianyi Sect has already gained a lot this time, so this little bit won't make a difference.

However, Ye Danqing would soon regret his idea.

Ye Danqing straightened up, glanced at his fellow disciples trapped in the illusion, his eyes darkened slightly, and then lowered his stance, asking Chu Wenqing to also rescue the others, adding that he could exchange something else for them.

He had just heard Chu Wenqing say that he had used a medicinal bath infused with Frost Lotus to revive him!

He knew about the Frost Lotus; it was a divine herb, unparalleled in the world! He wondered how Chu Wenqing and the others had gotten so lucky to obtain such a herb; it was truly enviable! However, the most important thing now was to wake up the others. He was in charge of leading the team into the Cloud Realm this time, and if the others couldn't be saved, he would be held responsible when they returned!

Chu Wenqing had been waiting for Ye Danqing to say this. Upon hearing it, he quickly said that his friend had Frost Lotus and might be willing to make a deal with him.

Ye Danqing's heart sank slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly arose...

When Ye Danqing followed Chu Wenqing away from the flower bushes to meet the person with whom he could make a deal, he hadn't gone far when he spotted Feng Xiyue and the others, who were clearly waiting for him.

But when his gaze fell on the person next to Feng Xiyue, Ye Danqing froze, his pupils shrinking.

Feng Xiyue greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ye, we meet again."

Ye Danqing didn't even glance at Feng Xiyue, his eyes fixed on the girl in blue beside her. The girl felt his burning gaze, raised her eyes to look at him indifferently, her eyes calm and unmoved, as if she were seeing a complete stranger.

Lin Ji disliked Ye Danqing looking at Su Luo like that, so he stepped forward to shield the girl behind him, narrowing his dark eyes and letting a dangerous glint flash in them.

Those guys from Tianyi Sect are really annoying, they're always like a persistent ghost! Very well, once we get out, he'll tear down Tianyi Sect's protective gate!

Ye Danqing did not notice Lin Ji's actions, but instead lowered her eyes with a heavy heart.

Since losing to Su Hou in Fuguang Town, he and his junior brother have been greatly affected, and some have even developed inner demons.

Before that, Ye Danqing never imagined that the girl they had once ignored and looked down upon could one day defeat them with a straight face! She would even peel off their faces without any regard for their feelings, throw them on the ground and mock them at will, and even recorded humiliating videos for them, making them feel ashamed!

After returning home, he would unconsciously recall Su Luo's words in the middle of the night or while cultivating, and then belatedly feel ashamed. Every time he was with Junior Sister Ning, he would unconsciously recall how they had treated this former "junior sister" over the years, and his feelings became even more complicated.

Think about it now.

Although Su Luo was timid and insecure in the past, she was obedient and sensible, and her heart was filled with affection for them and her master. It was they who looked down on her, despised her for being clumsy, and only wanted someone as intelligent and quick-witted as Junior Sister Ning as their junior sister, someone who would follow Junior Sister Ning around day and night…

They were the ones who pushed Su Luo away!

But they were completely oblivious to this at the time! They grew increasingly disliked Su Luo because of her taciturn nature, even feeling a slight sense of smug satisfaction at her voluntary departure from the sect. It wasn't until they accepted the mission and arrogantly went to find Su Luo that they were utterly thrashed!

Only then did they finally realize that the junior sister who used to obediently stay behind them was long gone! Now, Su Luo utterly loathed them and wanted nothing more than to never speak to them again! It was their arrogance and self-righteousness that had created this situation…

Ye Danqing tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying to laugh but unable to. His lips stiffly turned upwards, forming an ugly arc.

"Su Luo...it's you...you have Frost Lotus?"

Su Luo ignored him and glanced at Feng Xiyue. Feng Xiyue immediately stepped forward and said, "That's right. We have a potion made from Frost Lotus. Drinking this potion can awaken those who have been affected. Chu Wenqing just tried it on you, and I don't need to say more about the effect, do I?"

Ye Danqing pursed her lips.

The results are truly remarkable...

"So, how do you plan to make the deal?"

Feng Xiyue smiled and offered a cup of water in exchange for a high-grade spirit stone.

Ye Danqing's brow twitched upon hearing this, and he blurted out instinctively, "Are you robbing me?!"

Even as direct disciples of the Tianyi Sect, they could only receive ten high-grade spirit stones a month! This was because high-grade spirit stones were extremely rare and valuable; one high-grade spirit stone could cover the expenses of an ordinary cultivator for two years!

Feng Xiyue casually asked for a high-grade spirit stone in exchange for a cup of water. Their Tianyi Sect has forty-six members; even excluding him would cost forty-five high-grade spirit stones! Isn't this robbery?!

Feng Xiyue remained unmoved, simply explaining how precious and rare the Frost Lotus was, and how valuable it was. Finally, she reminded Ye Danqing that unless he could single-handedly lead everyone from the Tianyi Sect away from here, he had no other way to save them.

Hearing this, Ye Danqing clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together. But no matter how unwilling he was, Ye Danqing knew that Feng Xiyue was telling the truth!

So he took a deep breath, shamelessly negotiated the price with Feng Xiyue, hoping to get a discount.

While the two were haggling, Chu Wenqing came over and, as if presenting a treasure, took out the pills that Ye Danqing had given him and handed them to Su Luo.

"Su Luo, look, this is a Heaven-Rank pill! It's a thank-you gift from Ye Danqing!"

"good."

As Su Luo said this, she didn't even glance at the pills, waving her hand to let Chu Wenqing keep them, "You keep them, after all, you're the one who saved the person."

"But that's because I used your Frost Lotus..."

Su Luo shook her head, "What do you mean 'mine' and 'your'? The Frost Lotus belongs to everyone. Didn't everyone pick it back then? We can split the reward for saving people later."

Since Su Luo had already said so, Chu Wenqing didn't waste any more words and accepted it without hesitation.

Because Feng Xiyue refused to budge, Ye Danqing had no choice but to agree. However, even after emptying his pockets of spirit stones and pills, it still wasn't enough. So, he had to shamelessly ask Feng Xiyue and the others to wake up Qin Xiu first and then raise the money.

Chu Wenqing immediately and eagerly fed Qin Xiu some water.

When Qin Xiu woke up, he was in so much pain that he was wincing. Before he could figure out what had happened, his senior brother suddenly came over and asked with a stern face, "Junior brother, do you have any extra spirit stones? Lend me some."

Qin Xiu: "..."

Is he still dreaming? His senior brother actually wants to borrow money from him?!
