"Senior Sister, I won't dare to bully Junior Sister Zhixia anymore. If my Spiritual Beast is destroyed, I won't be able to cultivate in the future. Please spare me, Senior Sister."
"What were you doing earlier? Weren't you arrogant when you destroyed someone else's Spiritual Beast? I think someone like you shouldn't be allowed to stay. Continue."
The Frost Tiger received its master's signal. Subsequently, it bit down again. The rhinoceros's thick neck, already reduced to one-third of its original size, would be completely destroyed with one more bite.
"Senior Sister, how can you do this? What about the camaraderie among fellow disciples? Senior Brother Chen, don't worry, I'll help you." Li Fangfang said as a sword appeared in her hand, preparing to deflect the Li Shuo sword in front of Chen Li. However, before Li Fangfang's sword touched Li Shuo sword, she was slapped away by an invisible force. Li Fangfang hadn't reacted yet and was sent flying several meters away, spitting out blood.
Another Inner Sect disciple, Wang Qi, standing not far from Chen Li, felt fortunate that he didn't speak much. Otherwise, Senior Sister might have dealt with him too. It's better to be an obedient quail.
"With your little skills, you also want to fight?" Song Weizhi disdainfully glanced at Li Fangfang, then looked at the rhinoceros. As if sensing her master's intention, the Frost Tiger opened its mouth for the third time, trying to bite off the rhinoceros's neck. However, something in the void stopped the Frost Tiger this time. It couldn't take another bite.
A voice came from afar, "Weizhi, what are you doing? Do you still want to fight among your fellow disciples? Stop it now."
Song Weizhi almost burst into laughter when she heard this. Wasn't this the cheap biological father of the female lead, Song Ruohai? It seems he knew what happened here, but instead of worrying about his daughter's safety, he first disregarded her and wanted to shift all the blame onto Chen Li. It was quite disgusting. Unfortunately, Song Weizhi wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't have the father-daughter bond with Song Ruohai, nor the mentor-apprentice relationship. Song Ruohai's wishful thinking had come to nothing.
"This is not my fault. Chen Li was at fault first. He ignored the camaraderie among fellow disciples. If I had come a moment later, Zhixia's Spiritual Beast would have been destroyed by him." Song Weizhi didn't intend to be a docile and obedient girl. She found many people in the Song Family detestable. If she didn't remember that the protagonist's piece of Soul was in the treasure vault of the Song Family, she would have wanted to teach the despicable Song Ruohai a lesson.
Song Ruohai, standing in the martial arts arena, shouted, "So, you can't treat your fellow disciple like this. Chen Li has reached the Comprehension Foundation Building realm. You damaged his Spiritual Beast like this. How will he continue to cultivate in the future?"
Song Weizhi looked coldly at Song Ruohai, disdainfully smiling, "So, Head means that only the life of disciples with higher cultivation matters, and the lives of those with lower cultivation don't matter. This includes the life of your biological daughter, right?"
"Shut up, rebel!" Song Ruohai thundered with rage. His instinctive palm strike was already heading toward Song Weizhi, but Song Weizhi was well-prepared. Song Ruohai, this old man who cherished his reputation above all, didn't hesitate to discard his biological daughter, and now she was not giving him any face!
In the next moment, a barrier of ice formed straight in front of Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia, firmly blocking the palm strike from Song Ruohai. The ice barrier remained intact, standing firmly in front of Song Weizhi.
Cold sweat dripped from Song Ruohai's forehead. The palm strike he had just delivered was fueled by impatience, using ten times his usual strength. Seeing Song Weizhi's calm response, it was evident that she handled it effortlessly. Song Ruohai had forgotten that Song Weizhi had already reached the Comprehension Golden Core stage, one level higher than himself. In the future, the Song Family would undoubtedly rely heavily on Song Weizhi. Sacrificing the reputation of his family for the sake of Chen Li was simply not worth it.
After understanding all this, Song Ruohai forced a smile and said to Song Weizhi, "I was impulsive just now. Teaching younger disciples is a good thing, but your methods were too extreme. How about this, I think both sides are at fault today. Let's each take a step back and consider this matter settled."
Song Weizhi, looking at Song Ruohai as if he were a clown, sneered before speaking, "I'll say it again, I, including my Junior Sister Zhixia, are not at fault today. It was their group with twisted intentions. Since we are not at fault, why should we take a step back?"
The Martial Arts Field seemed to freeze for a moment. The expressions on everyone's faces were quite dramatic. It was clear that the senior sister was not giving face to the Head, refusing to follow the path he had laid out. Moreover, the Head seemed powerless against the Senior Sister. After the suppression was lifted, the outer disciples quickly distanced themselves from the scene, watching the spectacle from afar.
Song Ruohai was so infuriated that his veins bulged on his forehead. However, from the current situation, he couldn't really discipline Song Weizhi, the rebellious disciple. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, I'll have your Junior Brothers and Sisters apologize to you. How about that?"
"A mere apology is enough? After I crush Chen Li's Spiritual Beast, I'll apologize to him. Apologizing is so easy, just a touch of lips," replied Song Weizhi dismissively.
"What do you want, then?" Song Ruohai couldn't afford to openly confront Song Weizhi. She was acknowledged as a genius in Linhai City, and one significant reason the Song Family ranked among the top four families was the extraordinary cultivation talent of Song Weizhi. Song Ruohai didn't want to compromise again and risk greater consequences for the sake of a minor issue.
"I don't want anything. I just want the one who deserves punishment to face the consequences. Head, don't stop me," said Song Weizhi, ready to take action.
"Wait." A loud shout echoed from the void, and after a few moments, over a dozen people appeared on the square. Leading them was Chen Li's father, Chen Qing. Seeing Chen Qing, Song Ruohai's cold sweat intensified; he feared Song Weizhi would openly defy him in front of others.
"Oh, Head Chen is here too. I wonder if something is going on?" Song Weizhi didn't care at all. The most formidable in Chen Li's family was his father, Chen Qing, whose cultivation was only at the Comprehension Enlightenment stage. She had surpassed him by a significant realm. Song Weizhi couldn't comprehend what was so intimidating about him.
Beside her, Song Zhixia anxiously tugged at Song Weizhi. Turning her head, Song Weizhi saw Song Zhixia's worried expression. She understood that Song Zhixia was concerned for her. Bending down and whispering in Song Zhixia's ear, she said, "Don't worry, they can't beat me."
Song Weizhi's warm breath gently brushed against Song Zhixia's ear. Her ear turned red, and she glanced at Song Weizhi. Perhaps due to shyness, a hint of charm appeared at the corners of Song Zhixia's eyes. Her expression seemed as if she were acting coquettish with Song Weizhi.
"Song Weizhi, you still have the nerve to ask? You've harmed my son's Spiritual Beast like this. Today, the Song Family must give us an explanation!" Chen Qing held a heavy sword and pointed it at Song Weizhi.
"When did even a mediocre family like the Chen Family dare to ride on the Song Family's head? Head, it's time to demonstrate the strength of our Song Family. Otherwise, anyone and everyone will dare to come here, shouting and killing. It would be a disgrace to our Song Family's reputation." Song Weizhi spoke nonchalantly, not bothering to regard Chen Qing.
Song Ruohai was almost biting through his teeth, but he still couldn't control Song Weizhi. If he refused her, but Song Weizhi didn't listen, the news that the leader of the Song Family was powerless against his disciple would spread today. This was something Song Ruohai absolutely couldn't allow. He could only reluctantly answer, "What Weizhi said is correct. Since Chen Li has become our disciple, the Song Family should be responsibility for the discipline. Our Family has no involvement in disciplining other family disciples."
Chen Qing, seeing the sorry state of his son's Spiritual Beast, became furious. He shouted at Song Ruohai, "What about the elixirs and spirit stones that the Chen family sends to the Song Family every year? Does Head Song only treat us with kindness when he sees those things?"
"Shut up." Song Ruohai exerted all the cultivation of his Initial Golden Core realm. Song Weizhi quickly set up a barrier to protect Song Zhixia. Several outer disciples of the Song Family, along with the disciples brought by Chen Qing, couldn't withstand the pressure. They spat blood and fell to the ground.
"Father, save me. You're not their opponent. Don't confront them head-on," Chen Li, lying on the ground, weakly pleaded with Chen Qing. The Departure Sword in front of him hadn't been sheathed.
Chen Qing, who had just struggled under Song Ruohai's pressure, glared at Song Ruohai and asked, "What does Head Song want to do to release my son?"
Without waiting for Song Ruohai's reply, Song Weizhi preemptively said, "It's not up to our Head; you should ask me. Your son has harmed my Junior Sister. Just now, my Junior Sister even spat blood, and your son almost crushed her Spiritual Beast. Consider how you'll compensate my Junior Sister for this harm." Song Weizhi spoke calmly, but Chen Qing felt as if he were in a storm. Now it seemed that his son was the only one seriously injured. What Song Weizhi said about her Junior Sister made it sound like she was standing there unscathed.
"How do you want to be compensated?" Chen Qing asked through gritted teeth. He knew Song Weizhi's cultivation level. Even with him and the disciples he brought, they probably wouldn't be a match for Song Weizhi. The urgent matter was to take away his son and quickly find someone to treat his seriously injured Spiritual Beast. Otherwise, his son's life would be ruined!
Song Weizhi looked at Chen Qing and casually said, "Rest assured, I only want something Head Chen can afford. What I want is just a Pure Root Pill."
