Chapter 147 Extremely Protective
Chapter 147 Extremely Protective
Tao Tao left the Moonlit Pavilion without anyone stopping her. Although she was curious about what Shen Yi had said, she didn't care. Even if there was something wrong with the Annihilation Cold Sect, there were still the elders. It wasn't her place as a disciple to worry about it.
Besides, Bai Yan is also there. As a subordinate sect under his command, he would not ignore it if something serious really happened.
So she shook her head and transformed into a beam of white light, flying towards Immortal Spirit Valley.
Not far away, someone had taken in Tao Tao's movements. He immediately sent out a sound transmission talisman, which transformed into a small bird and flew away. It quickly flew through the woods and landed in someone's hand. That person then handed the talisman to Sun Lian, saying, "Young master, take a look."
Sun Lian opened the app after receiving the message, and a beam of light shot into his brow. After listening to the message, Sun Lian's expression changed drastically, and he revealed a sinister smile. "She actually dares to associate with demonic cultivators. It seems that this Junior Sister Yue is quite bold. Go and spread this message. Remember, the more people who know, the better."
"Yes." The person beside him immediately disappeared upon hearing the order.
A few days later, news of Tao Tao getting closer to the demonic cultivator spread everywhere. The key thing is that during this time, Shen Yi really liked to come and see Tao Tao, and insisted that Tao Tao take him on a tour of the Immortal Spirit Valley. Tao Tao didn't care about other people's discussions.
At first, she didn't know that Shen Yi was a demonic cultivator, and even if he was, so what? Since demonic cultivators could participate in the martial arts tournament, what reason was there to be so hostile?
If Tao Tao doesn't care about this, then Shen Yi cares even less. Besides, these rumors mainly slander Tao Tao and don't involve him. To put it bluntly, the target is already quite obvious.
However, the matter eventually faded away. The intention was to affect Tao Tao's reputation, but none of the people from Xianling Valley cared. On the contrary, Feng Yue and a group of junior sisters and brothers beat up the group of people who were talking nonsense.
They even threatened that if anyone dared to talk nonsense again, they would beat them every time they saw them. The existence of Immortal Spirit Valley was special. Who could reason with a group of demons? Even if they went back to their own sect to complain, their master and senior uncles would suppress it and choose to turn a blind eye.
Who doesn't know that Tao Tao is the darling of Immortal Spirit Valley? Who wouldn't dare to mess with her? Not to mention Feng Yue and the others, even You Yunzi was cursing at an elder from Yintai Mountain in the main hall. He was a great cultivator, yet he didn't care about his reputation at all, glaring and berating the elder, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to reply. He was scolded by the elder for more than an hour.
At that time, the people from other sects were both embarrassed and helpless. If they went forward to dissuade him, You Yunzi's cultivation was above theirs, and he was their senior. In addition, he was a demon beast with an unpredictable temperament, so no one dared to provoke him here. They could only rely on the other elders of the Yanhan Sect, but those elders also shook their heads and did not stop him.
You Yunzi doted on Tao Tao in every way, treating her like his own daughter. Yet, someone dared to say to his face that Tao Tao was colluding with demonic cultivators and corrupting the righteous sects. How could You Yunzi tolerate that? Not tearing the person apart was already an immense act of leniency on his part.
The elder from Yintai Mountain was thoroughly scolded and could only leave in dejection, not daring to utter another word.
Now, You Yunzi's reputation for protecting his own was spreading like wildfire again, and naturally no one dared to mention Tao Tao's closeness to the demonic cultivators anymore.
"How did you get involved with demonic cultivators?" Song Chaofeng was puzzled, but upon closer reflection, Tao Tao didn't distinguish between good and evil, and she befriended people purely based on first impressions, so it wasn't suspicious that she was close to demonic cultivators.
Tao Tao tore off a piece of meat from the big chicken leg and said while chewing, "He treated me to a meal, and then we became friends."
"That's true. Nothing can compare to a meal for you. As for the others, let them say what they want. There's often no need to distinguish between demonic cultivators and righteous cultivators. Besides, they all participated in the martial arts tournament this time, so at least on the surface, their relationship has improved somewhat."
"Yes, so they're all talking nonsense."
Song Chaofeng suddenly asked, "Then are you angry?"
Tao Tao then said, "I'm angry! Of course I'm angry, so I went and beat up Sun Lian."
She looked incredibly innocent and adorable when she said that, it was hard to believe she was saying such a thing. Song Chaofeng was even more confused, "Why beat him up? Aren't many people talking about this?"
"Because he talks the most, I think he's the one who spread the rumors most likely. Anyway, he likes to cause trouble, so I'd rather go to him first than let him come to me."
"That makes sense. Here, another chicken leg as a reward." Song Chaofeng gave a thumbs up and tore off a chicken leg, handing it to Tao Tao.
At this moment, Sun Lian was lying on the bed groaning in pain. He was covered in injuries, one side of his face was extremely swollen, and his eyes were dark purple. He looked terrible. One of his arms was already useless, and this time Tao Tao almost broke it off. If he hadn't been quick-witted and pretended to be dead and fainted, Tao Tao would probably still be beating him up right now.
The key point is that Tao Tao didn't use any magic when he attacked; he just swung his fists directly at Sun Lian. Despite being such a small person, it's unclear where he got such strength, but he managed to beat Sun Lian until he begged for mercy.
"Young Master, please bear with it a little longer. This is top-quality external medicine. It will heal you in no time." The subordinate comforted him while applying the medicine, but as soon as the medicine touched the injured area, Sun Lian immediately screamed, "It hurts so much! Can't you be gentler!"
“But I’m already quite light. This wound is quite serious. If you don’t apply medicine, you probably won’t be able to participate in the later competitions.”
"Do you really need to tell me that? Le Taotao is really audacious, daring to come to our Xiaohuan Peak to bully people. I must tell Master!"
"Even Master couldn't do anything about that person from Immortal Spirit Valley. After all, he's our Grandmaster, someone we can't afford to offend."
"We can't just let them bully us like this, I have to get my revenge!"
"Actually, we don't necessarily have to do this ourselves. Didn't a lot of demonic cultivators come this time? They are unrestrained in their behavior. If someone provokes them and brings trouble upon themselves, that person has a problem and can't blame anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lian immediately laughed, "That's right, that's a good idea."
As he spoke, Sun Lian tossed a storage bracelet to his subordinate and said, "I'm leaving this to you. Even if I can't kill her, I'll make sure she can't participate in the later competitions. She thinks she can get points? No way!"
Achoo!
Tao Tao suddenly sneezed, almost spitting out all the meat in her mouth. She rubbed her nose, tilted her head and looked at the sky. "The weather is so nice today, why did I sneeze again? Is someone cursing me?"
"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget how many people your senior brothers and sisters from Immortal Spirit Valley beat up for you. I heard even our grandmaster got involved. Who else would he scold if not you?"
"They deserve it!" Tao Tao tore off a piece of meat viciously and said irritably, "If it were me, I would beat them up too."
