Ding Ru followed Ding Li’s words and took the elixir, then slowly fell into a deep sleep. After she was asleep, Ding Li cleaned up the room, looking at the shattered clothes on the ground still stained with blood, she cast a stream of spiritual power to burn them to ashes.
"Jian Fengxing, Jian Yuezhi, Refiners Sect..." Ding Li murmured as she watched the flas. If Ding Ru were awake at this mont, she would surely notice an unusual hatred in her eyes.
The next morning, in the southwestern courtyard of the Refiners Sect, Dugu Qianye watched a group of... won appear in her yard, leisurely drinking tea. She didn’t speak, nor greeted them.
After a while, so of the older sisters couldn’t hold back any longer and said to Dugu Qianye, "Such uncouth behavior, seeing your senior sisters arrive and not even offering a greeting, truly a person from a lower realm with no manners!"
Dugu Qianye looked at the speaker, a woman in a pink gauze dress with a baby face. Her originally cute image was marred by the jealousy in her eyes.
She set down her teacup and said, "Yesterday, the Young Sect Master arranged for to stay here. He didn’t ntion that anyone would co to see today, let alone that soone would co to my yard before dawn, waking up by smashing up my yard. He told that the senior sisters in the Sect are all kind and friendly and would surely take care of as a newcor. I believed what the Young Sect Master said, and didn’t connect you with the kind and friendly senior sisters he ntioned, my apologies for that oversight!"
Listening to her sarcastic remarks, those with thinner faces felt sowhat embarrassed, but others looked at Dugu Qianye with excitent and asked, "Really? Did the Young Sect Master really say that?"
Dugu Qianye nodded, looking at the group now besotted, and confird, "He did say that! He also praised that the senior sisters in the Sect were all as beautiful as flowers, kind-hearted, with strong artifact refining abilities, and that I should learn earnestly from you all." She then glanced at her thoroughly wrecked yard, frowning, and said, "But when I woke up this morning to the sound of crashing in the yard and ca out to find it looking like this, I don’t know who did it. Ah, could the Young Sect Master still be deceiving ?"
The senior sisters, seeing Dugu Qianye’s puzzled face, said with a laugh, "Soone must have accidentally tripped and caused that ss. Of course, you have to believe what the Young Sect Master said!"
Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "I also feel the sa. The sisters here all seem so gentle and amiable, who would do such a deplorable thing, right?"
"Right. Junior sister, you have such keen eyes!"
"How could we do such a thing!"
Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly as she looked at them, her mind preoccupied with the matter of the Gold Spiritual Bead, she had no desire to deal with these idiots and suddenly exclaid loudly, "Oh no!"
"What’s wrong, junior sister?"
Dugu Qianye looked at them with a troubled expression and said, "The Young Sect Master told before leaving yesterday that he would co to find this morning, and he should be here soon. If he arrives and sees my yard in this state, and also sees you here, I’m afraid..."
Hearing that Jian Yuezhi would be coming shortly, they all beca excited, but after hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, their enthusiasm died out. Although they were eager to see Jian Yuezhi, they were also afraid of what would happen if he found out they had destroyed Dugu Qianye’s yard, considering how well he treated her. With this in mind, they quickly made their excuses, claiming to have important matters to attend to, and left one after another.
Dugu Qianye watched them leave, lifted her tea, and took a sip. In re minutes, her yard quieted down again. These fools had not even realized that Dugu Qianye had not invited them to sit down from the beginning to the end!
"Fla One." Dugu Qianye called out into the air, and Fla One’s figure appeared in front of her.
"Mistress, what are your orders?" Fla One saluted Dugu Qianye and asked.
For convenience, a portion of the Fla Army dispersed to gather information, while the rest remained by Dugu Qianye’s side. The people of Zi Xiao were first-rate in stealth, so she didn’t put them into the Refining Demon Pot.
"Fla One, go help find out who instigated these people to co today, then assign two people to closely monitor her movents," Dugu Qianye said.
"Yes," Fla One responded and then disappeared again.
Dugu Qianye slowly finished the tea in her cup before she began to tidy up the yard. Before she had finished cleaning, Fla One had already figured out the situation.
"Ding Ru’s maid, Ding Li? Why would she do this? Is it just because of Ding Ru, or is there another reason?" Dugu Qianye, holding a broom, stood in the yard, keenly feeling that the reason Ding Li targeted her was not simple. She pondered for a mont and said, "Have soone look into Ding Li, and also keep an eye on any movents from Ding Ru’s side."
There was a ripple in the air, followed by calmness. Dugu Qianye, still holding the broom, continued to sweep the yard. After gathering the debris together, she unleashed a burst of Fire Attribute Spiritual Power and burned everything to ashes.
By the ti Jian Yuezhi arrived at Dugu Qianye’s yard, there was nothing left but the corner of a table leg that hadn’t completely burned. Dugu Qianye was inside, tidying up.
"Qianye, what happened here?" Jian Yuezhi entered and asked, pointing to the empty yard.
Dugu Qianye looked at Jian Yuezhi and said, "It’s nothing. It’s more comfortable to look at this way."
Jian Yuezhi knew that soone must have troubled Dugu Qianye after he left, seeing her in this state. Not wanting to press her when she didn’t wish to talk, he sat down in a chair and said, "I found out which hall Sha Hongfei is from."
The Refiners Sect had a total of one Sect Master, ten elders, with one elder in charge of each hall.
Dugu Qianye stopped her work and sat down next to Jian Yuezhi, asking, "Which hall?"
"Tenth," Jian Yuezhi said with an apologetic face.
The Tenth Hall was problematic because the elder had a major issue with Jian Yuezhi due to a previous incident with a junior sister. Trying to gather any news there would be much more difficult than at the other halls.
Dugu Qianye understood and thought for a bit before asking, "Can you transfer to the Tenth Hall? Since it is not convenient for you, I’ll go myself. That way, you can avoid unpleasant encounters with the elder."
"Transferring you to the Tenth Hall is not a problem. But everyone in the Sect knows you ca with , and that old man definitely knows too. If you go to the Tenth Hall, I’m worried he will make things difficult for you," Jian Yuezhi said with concern.
Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
In the end, Jian Yuezhi agreed, went to find Jian Fengxing, and had Dugu Qianye transferred to the Tenth Hall. Hence, Dugu Qianye stayed one night in the yard before moving to the living quarters of the Tenth Hall.
