For these inner sect disciples, a small peripheral mber was nothing at all. Dead was dead. Even outer sect disciples were about the sa. This was the difference in class, or perhaps it could be said to be the difference in strength.
Although this inner sect disciple had decent strength and was among the upper-middle tier of his generation, Xiaoyao still had ways to dodge this attack. Don't forget, back when Xiaoyao was still in the foundation stage, he could escape for so long even under the Eldest Princess's pursuit.
However, at this mont Xiaoyao didn't dodge. This wasn't because he didn't want to expose his strength, but because soone stopped this situation from happening.
"How audacious!"
A figure flashed over, and a delicate jade hand appeared in front of Xiaoyao, blocking that palm strike.
There weren't many people here who would block for Xiaoyao. Among those with this strength who were also female, it seed there should only be Dongfang Wunian.
Xiaoyao thought this way, and when he saw the owner of that jade hand, she indeed had so relationship with Dongfang Wunian. Although Xiaoyao had never seen this young lady before, he could be certain she was related to Dongfang Wunian, because she had so of Dongfang Wunian's qualities.
Simply put, she resembled Dongfang Wunian sowhat!
Among the young ladies in Heavenly Gate who resembled Dongfang Wunian, there seed to be only one, at least only one that Xiaoyao knew of.
"Eldest Miss!"
"Senior Sister Wuqing!"
The newcor was Dongfang Wunian's older sister, Dongfang Wuqing. Her features were sowhat similar to Dongfang Wunian's, but she had a temperant that Dongfang Wunian lacked. Her entire being emanated a cold aura, like an iceberg, very fitting with her na "Wuqing" (Ruthless).
"Senior Sister Wuqing is right. This kid is too audacious, actually daring to be arrogant here. He doesn't even look at his own status," That inner sect disciple pointed at Xiaoyao and said. Just now Dongfang Wuqing had only neutralized the palm force without using strength or injuring him, which made him think that Dongfang Wuqing just wanted to personally teach Xiaoyao a lesson.
Dongfang Wuqing was soone who paid great attention to rules - this was the result of the sect master's constant cultivation. In her eyes, if there were any irregular matters, she would definitely help the Law Enforcent Hall take action, without considering any personal feelings. Ruthlessness was her characteristic.
Heavenly Gate's sect master didn't necessarily want to cultivate Dongfang Wuqing to beco the sect master, but felt she was definitely the best choice for controlling punishnts. In the future, Dongfang Wuqing would definitely have a place in Heavenly Gate's Punishnt Hall.
Believing in Dongfang Wuqing's qualifications and talent, it probably wouldn't take ten years before she could enter the Punishnt Hall to administer punishnts!!
Now, Dongfang Wuqing already had a bit of the Punishnt Hall's flavor - when soone violated rules, she would punish them. At this mont, that inner sect disciple believed Xiaoyao's behavior was a violation, that Dongfang Wuqing's "audacious" referred to him, and that Dongfang Wuqing now wanted to punish him.
"Eldest Miss, I wasn't..." Xiaoyao also thought Dongfang Wuqing felt his coming here was sowhat against regulations, so he wanted to explain.
"No need to say more!" Dongfang Wuqing stopped Xiaoyao's words. "Although I haven't interacted with you much, I've heard so things from my little sister. You're not the type to cause trouble for no reason. Coming here to find my little sister must have your reasons, and very important reasons."
"Ah..." Xiaoyao was stunned. He hadn't expected Dongfang Wuqing to say this. She wasn't blaming him, which ant her "audacious" wasn't referring to him either.
"Senior Sister Wuqing, you're..." That inner sect disciple was sowhat confused. If Dongfang Wuqing wasn't talking about Xiaoyao, then was she talking about him?
"You're not wrong in your suspicion. I'm talking about you - you're truly audacious!! Xiaoyao is the only person who can make my little sister eat food. You actually dared to harm him. Do you know this would make my little sister very uncomfortable? When my little sister is uncomfortable, I'm also uncomfortable," Dongfang Wuqing looked coldly at that inner sect disciple.
So she wasn't truly ruthless. At least she was very good to her little sister. Even over a al, she didn't want it interrupted. Anyone who injured Xiaoyao would make her very unhappy. Most importantly, Xiaoyao hadn't done anything wrong - he was completely within reasonable bounds.
Although Xiaoyao was a peripheral mber and shouldn't co here, this place didn't prohibit peripheral mbers from entering. It was just that those inner sect disciples were too arrogant, truly treating this as a rule and thinking that peripheral mbers coming here for no reason was wrong.
In fact, even coming for no reason couldn't find any grounds for punishnt - at most a warning. Dongfang Wuqing wouldn't think Xiaoyao ca here to cause trouble. As she said, she believed Xiaoyao coming here must have his reasons. Whatever the reasons, they would justify his coming here.
"Senior Sister Wuqing, I didn't an that. I was just a bit anxious. Actually, I was just saying that he, as a peripheral mber, shouldn't co here," That inner sect disciple said.
"Didn't I just say that he must have reasons for coming here? Why shouldn't he co?" Dongfang Wuqing asked coldly.
"He ca here wanting to get close to Junior Sister Dongfang. A toad wanting to eat swan at - can Senior Sister Wuqing allow such reasons?" That inner sect disciple said.
"Getting close to my little sister? Just the two of them - I think it's impossible in this lifeti!" Dongfang Wuqing let out a cold laugh. As an older sister, she had long understood her sister's relationships with others. She was also very clear about Xiaoyao's situation. She had secretly observed them and felt the relationship between the two was basically impossible to develop - they were just ordinary friends. This point also put her at ease.
She had also suspected Xiaoyao might be pretending, but it had been such a long ti. If Xiaoyao was pretending, he was too good at it. Moreover, recently Xiaoyao had even refused recruitnt to beco an outer sect disciple. From this point, this Xiaoyao didn't care much about status and position.
This matter was based on his own qualifications. Even if he wanted to pretend with Dongfang Wunian, there was no need to refuse. Everyone thought this was very normal and that anyone would agree, but he refused.
While confirming he wasn't pretending, Dongfang Wuqing also began to doubt Xiaoyao's purpose in entering Heavenly Gate. She investigated the causes and consequences of Xiaoyao entering Heavenly Gate, and there were indeed aspects worth suspecting. How could Xiaoyao, a herb gatherer, co here, and so coincidentally break through the Mountain-Protecting Formation?
But although these were worth suspecting, no reasons could be found.
Xiaoyao practiced the Divine Farr's Art - this was the main reason for recruiting him into Heavenly Gate. Because of this, many people gave up their suspicions, including Dongfang Wuqing.
The Divine Farr's Art really had no attack power at all, only assistance. What purpose could such a person have? Even if he had one, what trouble could he stir up?
Based on Xiaoyao's performance over more than a year, he seed to have never had any malicious intent. Although his purpose was unknown, it shouldn't be harmful to Heavenly Gate.
There were also people in Heavenly Gate secretly watching Xiaoyao, not giving him any opportunity to launch conspiracies. Heavenly Gate hadn't reached the point of not taking such precautions.
"Junior Sister Dongfang couldn't possibly look favorably on him, but inevitably so people have wishful thinking." That inner sect disciple seed not to understand Dongfang Wuqing's aning and continued speaking.
"Indeed, there are many people with wishful thinking, but he's precisely not among them. Rather, you're among them!" Dongfang Wuqing said with a cold smile.
"Senior Sister Wuqing, how can you say that? I'm worried about Junior Sister Dongfang." That inner sect disciple couldn't save face.
"Enough, I don't want to say more to you. Anyway, you didn't injure him! Also, let tell you, his role in Heavenly Gate is no less than yours. You're not qualified to look down on people! Xiaoyao, I'll take you to see my little sister. I estimate she should be coming out soon!" After Dongfang Wuqing said a few words to that inner sect disciple, she left with Xiaoyao. She didn't ask Xiaoyao's reason for finding Dongfang Wunian.
This was also because she didn't want to ddle in others' affairs. At the sa ti, she felt her sister would handle any matters well and didn't need her to ask much.
"Xiaoyao? You ca to find ?" When Dongfang Wunian saw Dongfang Wuqing bringing Xiaoyao, she was very surprised, because she had never thought Xiaoyao would take the initiative to find her.
For over a year, it had always been her finding him. She hadn't expected Xiaoyao to actually co find her today. How could this not surprise her?
"Yes, there's sothing I want to tell you," Xiaoyao nodded and said.
"What is it?" Dongfang Wunian asked puzzledly. What would Xiaoyao co find her to talk about? For ordinary matters, he wouldn't co find her at all. Most importantly, what matters could she help Xiaoyao with?
Thinking about it, Dongfang Wunian felt helpless. She seed unable to help Xiaoyao with anything. If Xiaoyao wanted status here and wanted to climb up, she might have the ability to help a bit, but the problem was Xiaoyao didn't want that at all.
As for other matters, there were only things she couldn't do, nothing Xiaoyao couldn't do.
"You talk slowly. I still have so matters," Dongfang Wuqing didn't stay to listen at this mont, but chose to leave. If there were nothing else, she would have stayed. At this mont she happened to have sothing to do.
"Goodbye, Eldest Miss, and thank you," Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"You're welco," Dongfang Wuqing replied coolly, then quickly disappeared from their sight.
"What did you want to find about?" After watching Dongfang Wuqing leave, Dongfang Wunian asked again.
"I'm leaving!" Xiaoyao said.
"What?" Dongfang Wunian couldn't react for a mont.
"I'm leaving, departing from here. I probably won't have a chance to return," Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"..." Dongfang Wunian was silent. After a while she said: "You said you're leaving here. Are you coming to bid farewell now?"
