The Angry Chang Ying

Yun Mingyue tried to open the door of the Bamboo Residence. At first, the door was locked inside, but that didn't bother her. Instead, spiritual qi flowed in her hand. Then with a single stroke, she managed to break the lock.

"Aunt Yun, I will check inside," said Chang Ying. She was about to barge in, but Yun Mingyue immediately restrained her hand.

"We'll go in together." Yun Mingyue refused Chang Ying to enter first because the daughter of this sect's head is sometimes very rash.

"Hmph! Well."

In one of the rooms, Xue Ji could hear and feel the arrival of another person. Her eyes immediately opened. She immediately stopped her cultivation, and it brought the spiritual qi that was refining her dantian to a sudden stop.

Her dantian had not yet fully recovered. It should still take a few more days for her to recover and break through to the 1st level of the earth realm. But, unfortunately, two uninvited guest had arrived, which required her to stop suddenly.

She spat out a mouthful of blood to coincide with the entry of Yun Mingyue and Chang Ying into the room. Yun Mingyue, who saw that, immediately ran over to Xue Ji in a panic.

"Young Lady Xue!"

Yun Mingyue did not expect to be shown such a scene of a pale and bloody Xue Ji. Was her fear real, that her great master had already been injured due to the forbidden technique being practised?

Xue Ji wiped the corner of her mouth in a smooth motion. She glanced at Yun Mingyue and Chang Ying. The look in her eyes was extremely cold. Why did these people come to bother her? Xue Ji's feelings became unhappy.

"Who asked you to come in?!"

Xue Ji's cold gaze met Chang Ying's. She could sense the hatred Chang Ying was trying to hide. What an ugly girl who is good at pretending!

Who is this girl? Isn't this the first time they've met? Why did she harbour such hatred? Xue Ji narrowed her eyes, but no words came out of her mouth.

Xue Ji's gaze carried an indescribable feeling for Chang Ying. Her heart became confused. The red-clothed girl who looked pale looked like she was still a teenager. But why does her aura feel scary? An ordinary teenage girl couldn't possibly have that kind of disposition.

Was what they said true that Xue Ji was indeed Ancestor Feng's teacher? There was still doubt in Chang Ying's heart.

"Young Lady Xue, forgive us for being presumptuous. But we were worried because you didn't respond to our calls at all," Yun Mingyue said regretfully. She immediately reached out to check on Xue Ji's body condition. However, Xue Ji refused.

"I didn't want to be disturbed. Go!"

Yun Mingyue shook her head slowly. She didn't see or feel any spiritual qi in Xue Ji's body. It confused her. What had happened to Xue Ji?

"Young Lady Xue, your cultivation…."

Hearing Xue Ji's cultivation being mentioned, Chang Ying immediately detected it. She finally realized that Xue Ji's body was extremely weak, and there was no spiritual qi circulating. The corners of her eyebrows lifted slightly.

She stepped closer and said, "Young Lady Xue, I am Chang Ying, the daughter of this sect master. My father was in closed door meditation. If you need something, you can tell me."

Xue Ji only gave a fleeting glance without saying anything. That response made Chang Ying dislike her even more. She had taken the time to be polite, but the other party had no respect.

Urged by displeasure, she spoke again. "Young Lady Xue, you are Ancestor Feng's teacher. No wonder I couldn't detect your cultivation level. It must be because you are already at a very high level."

"Chang Ying!" Yun Mingyue immediately rebuked the girl. With just one look, one should know that the current Xue Ji had no cultivation. So why did Chang Ying pretend to say that?

"Aunt Yun, am I wrong? A person with a lower cultivation level would not be able to see the cultivation level of a higher person. I can't see Young Lady Xue's cultivation level. That means she should be higher than me."

Chang Ying secretly smiled mockingly. She continued, "Someone claiming to be this sect's ancestral master couldn't possibly be weaker than the younger generation like me right?"

"Oh, I didn't expect the daughter of the head of the Luo Mountain Sword Sect to be blind," Xue Ji said lazily.

"What do you mean?!" Chang Ying looked furiously at Xue Ji.

"What do I mean?" Xue Ji smiled mockingly. "Only a blind person doesn't know that I currently have no cultivation."

"Then why did you claim to be Ancestor Feng's teacher?! Our ancestors died many years ago. How could he meet a little girl like you?"

"Chang Ying, don't be presumptuous!" Yun Mingyue immediately rebuked. She pulled the girl back a few steps. Then apologized to Xue Ji. "Please ignore this girl. Don't let this anger you and make your wound worse."

"Aunt Yun!" Chang Ying tried to let go of Yun Mingyue's hand, but the older woman still gripped her hand to keep her in place. Finally, she could only silently frown.

Xue Ji laughed softly at that. Her hands moved to smooth her slightly unkempt hair. "I heard the sect master's daughter is sickly and needs the Snow Lotus in order to recover. So, do you hate me because I took the Snow Lotus?"

"Good if you know!" Chang Ying's voice was harsh.

Xue Ji was not angry with Chang Ying's answer. As an older person, she had to be patient with the younger generation, right?

After observing the girl for a while, Xue Ji could tell Chang Ying had a weak body constitution. Not only weak, even her age might not be long. So why fight with someone who is about to die?

"It's useless that you use the Snow Lotus. It won't help," Xue Ji said in a lazy tone.

"Don't talk like you know all too well! Besides, you don't know what my illness is," Chang Ying replied. Her hands were tightly clenched.

The Snow Lotus is a flower that can cure various ailments. So, why can't the flower cure the disease? Chang Ying didn't believe Xue Ji's words at all.

"Who said it was a disease? What a fool!" Xue Ji sneered.

"You are really …."

Before Chang Ying exploded with anger, Yun Mingyue immediately asked, "Young Lady Xue, do you mean Chang Ying doesn't have any illnesses? Can you tell us more in detail?"

Xue Ji was still smiling mockingly. "What advantage can I get if I tell you?"
