CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54

"Miss Shen truly deserves to be the top disciple of the Liuyun Sect!" Chen Muxue suddenly gave a thumbs-up to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao instinctively flinched, then realized she was somewhat afraid, and couldn’t help getting angry: "What are you being sarcastic about!"

Chen Muxue looked innocent: "I just admire your skill in looking down on people with your nose."

Shen Yao was taken aback and quickly pulled back her half-raised chin.

"Miss, it’s better to forgive and forget. Miss Shen is the top disciple of the Liuyun Sect, and she’s already at the Golden Core Stage Second Rank. Can’t you see that? The fact that she hasn’t taken action yet is quite polite; you should appreciate that." A man suddenly appeared and said to Chen Muxue.

Chen Muxue squinted her eyes slightly: "Oh? Golden Core Stage—Second Rank, huh?"

Upon hearing Chen Muxue’s elongated tone, her iron pot behind her inexplicably flashed, causing Shen Yao’s head to throb faintly. She guarded her newly acquired sword warily and turned to yell at the man:

"Bah! Who are you to speak? Who do you think you are?"

The man choked, clearly confused as to why he was getting scolded despite speaking on Shen Yao’s behalf.

The rumors were true; this lady was spoiled rotten, completely unreasonable!

The more the man thought about it, the angrier he got, and he sat back down with a huff.

"Miss Shen, that’s not right. He was speaking up for you. How could you treat him like that?" Another woman suddenly appeared.

On one hand, she couldn’t stand Shen Yao’s behavior; on the other, she also looked down on small fry like Chen Muxue.

"Who do you think you are to speak to me?" Shen Yao looked at her clothes, sneered, and then turned to the shopkeeper. "Even people from minor sects like her have rooms. Are you looking down on my Liuyun Sect?"

The shopkeeper was stunned. He was no cultivator; how would he know which sect was big or small? First come, first served! But this lady’s words were so overbearing. If he offended her...

"Alright, the shopkeeper already said there are no rooms left. Just calm down for a bit; you came late yourself." Chen Muxue patted Shen Yao on her shoulder.

Shen Yao stood there stiff, unable to say anything.

Ridiculous, since when did she have to tolerate this? Just wait until her fellow disciples arrived and see how she dealt with this Chen Muxue!

Chen Muxue was completely unfazed by everyone’s gaze, sitting down with a few children. Cultivators don’t need to eat; they were either passing the time, reading, drinking tea, debating Dao, or even meditating. There were no rooms, but there were still tables.

Everyone was discussing. They had never seen Shen Yao so obedient; she was notorious for being arrogant, relying on having a good father and being part of the Liuyun Sect, acting and speaking as she pleased. But today, she looked so furious yet speechless?

Moreover, this person in front was only at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Rank. How on earth did she make Shen Yao behave like this?

Just then, someone walked downstairs. When everyone saw him, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased a bit.

"Lin Qing!" Shen Yao shouted.

Lin Qing glanced at her, then turned to Chen Muxue: "Hey, my master booked two extra rooms. If you want them, they can be transferred to you."

Everyone in the hall looked at Shen Yao. Why did she need two rooms per person?

Shen Yao’s face turned bright red. Lin Qing, he was definitely doing this on purpose!

"What rooms? I can’t afford luxury suites." Chen Muxue seemed utterly unaware of the tension in the hall.

The crowd in the hall looked at her as if she were stupid. This girl was daydreaming; this was an internal conversation within the Liuyun Sect. Why was she responding?
