A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

The story doesn't end here. As long as people exist, the covetousness of these special physiques in their family will always exist. But now Du Shuangshuang has a backer, she can no longer be afraid!

The next morning, still early in the morning, Xiaoyao Peak welcomed an unexpected guest—Master Yanfeng. When the news reached Du Shuangshuang, she refused to meet him without hesitation.

Master Yanfeng didn't leave, but waited patiently at the foot of the mountain. Time ticked by, the sun gradually rose higher, but Master Yanfeng remained standing, motionless as a statue. Just then, a figure hurried over. It was Gu Xiaoxiao. Her face was filled with fury. Upon seeing Master Yanfeng, she erupted like a volcano, shouting, "What are you doing here? Aren't you giving up? I'm your Taoist partner now, and you're responsible for me!" With that, she engaged in a heated argument with Master Yanfeng, even insulting Du Shuangshuang and her entire family.

Facing Gu Xiaoxiao's verbal abuse and merciless accusations that were like a torrential rain, Master Yanfeng stood as steady as Mount Tai, remaining silent from beginning to end, as if he had isolated all the noise and disputes in the world from his heart, without showing even the slightest desire to argue.

At this moment of heightened tension, even though Du Shuangshuang herself had not yet appeared, her two senior brothers could no longer suppress their rage and could no longer sit idly by. Their figures flashed like two bolts of lightning across the sky, and in the blink of an eye they were gone, sprinting down the mountain.

"You can't even take care of your own dog. It pounces on us when it smells meat and even comes to make trouble for us. Do you think we at Xiaoyao Peak are made of mud? I don't hit women, but mad dogs are an exception!" Before the eldest brother could finish his words, the second brother had already rushed up!

"What nonsense are you talking to them about?"

The foot of the mountain was bustling with activity. For some reason, so many people had gathered there. Some were chatting in small groups, while others were standing alone, quietly observing something. Surprisingly, despite the lively atmosphere, everyone was extremely polite and courteous, quietly watching the excitement. No one dared to intervene.

Even when two fellow disciples with lower cultivation levels were unilaterally assaulted, no one intervened, let alone notified the Law Enforcement Hall. When the dust settled, people could see that the two men had been beaten black and blue, their faces swollen and swollen like two pigs. They had multiple fractures on their bodies, and lying limply on the ground, it was obvious that they had lost the ability to move. Fortunately, however, the injuries they suffered were purely external. Although they had damaged their muscles and bones, they would not significantly affect their future cultivation. At most, the pain would be unbearable. With a few healing pills and a good rest for ten days to half a month, they would be back to normal.

In comparison, this injury was much less serious than the one Du Shuangshuang had suffered when she sneaked across the grass and robbed it. Back then, Du Shuangshuang was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death, and had been lying in bed for several months!

Master Yanfeng hadn't intended to resist from the start, and even when he did, he was powerless, unable to even open his mouth. As for Gu Xiaoxiao, she never stopped talking. Later, seeing she was completely powerless, she had no choice but to bring up the Chu and Gu families, but no one paid any attention to them. The more they spoke, the worse they were beaten, until they were completely speechless.

The two were thrown to the foot of the main peak. The eldest brother left a message, "Watch out, if you come near Xiaoyao Peak again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

The people on the main peak didn't say a word and quietly took the person back.

Originally, Master Yanfeng wanted to play up his affectionate persona, say some nice words to coax her, and win her over first, but Du Shuangshuang didn't give him the chance. When he was beaten at first, he thought he could use a self-torture tactic, thinking women are soft-hearted, but that damned Du Shuangshuang was heartless! Master Yanfeng cursed her silently in his heart. When he had the chance in the future, he would definitely make her regret it!

After this incident, Du Shuangshuang decided not to leave Xiaoyao Peak unless necessary, so she stayed there.

When the two brothers returned, she also brought the welcome gifts she had prepared for everyone. She had also figured out over the past two days that Master's spiritual consciousness had been damaged, and his spirit was somewhat unstable. It was considered a serious injury. Currently, there were no special elixirs, mainly because there were no corresponding spiritual plants. Even if there were spiritual plants, without an alchemist, they could be taken directly. Others didn't have it, but Du Shuangshuang did!

So, as a gift for Master, she had specially included a Nine-Turn Red Extreme Ginseng. She had several of this ginseng herself, and because of its unique habitat, even the Duobao Bracelet couldn't replicate it. Du Shuangshuang didn't want to give away too many; one should be enough. She also had a Jade Crystal Ginseng, a pound of Earth Armor Beast Meat, and an Extreme Flame Flower. Master was already a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, with a single Fire Spirit Root. With this Extreme Flame Flower, his hopes of breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage were very high. She also had a whole Black Water Blood Lotus, a few lotus seeds, and a small packet of Gu Yuan Tea.

Zhenjun Xuancheng was delighted to receive the gift from his disciple. Although his disciple had entered the secret realm and possessed many valuables, he had not considered the small amount in his hands. He was truly surprised to receive the gift, and his hands were shaking with excitement when he saw the contents. He wasn't particularly surprised by the presence of Earth Armor Beast Meat and Jade Crystal Ginseng. He was also aware of the Black Water Blood Lotus, and while he was a bit surprised, he was able to remain calm. However, Zhenjun Xuancheng almost lost control of his expression regarding the other items. The gift from his disciple was not only valuable, but most importantly, it was also very useful. Even as a late Nascent Soul cultivator, he had been searching for so long but couldn't find anything that could nourish his spirit and soul. He had been prepared to endure this, believing that it would take ten or twenty years for things to heal. He hadn't expected that accepting a disciple would solve his problem. This disciple was truly a benefactor to him!

As for the senior brothers, each one was the same, impartial, with one Jade Crystal Ginseng, one pound of Earth Armor Beast Meat, and one Extreme Flame Flower. Everyone in Xiaoyao Peak had a Fire Spiritual Root. The eldest brother had both Fire and Earth Spiritual Roots, while the second brother had only a Fire Spiritual Root.

The two brothers who received the gifts were so happy that their teeth were not visible. Although two of the items were also available in the sect, exchanging them required a large number of contribution points, and they could not be exchanged just by having contribution points! There were so many people in the sect, and those items were so precious and in small quantities. The sect naturally had to find a way to control the supply, otherwise the good things would be gone as soon as they were put on the shelves. Unfortunately, they were not qualified to exchange for some. They had to make great contributions to you or fight on the front lines to be eligible. And the Extreme Flame Flower was so priceless that it could not even be exchanged in the sect. It seemed that the junior sister had a lot of good things in her hands. What a treasured junior sister! The junior sister was a hidden rich woman, and the key was that she was generous. You can treat her better in the future. You must give her the moon when you want the stars, and the stars when you want the sun!

"Junior sister, have you vented your anger? If you still feel a little uncomfortable, tell me and I will beat up those two again. If anyone makes you unhappy in the future, you must tell me and I promise to make him obey you completely. Don't worry, whether you are in the sect or outside, you can definitely walk sideways!" said the second senior brother.

"You're the only one who talks too much. Don't listen to your second brother. He's a troublemaker. If he weren't from Xiaoyao Peak, he would have been beaten to death long ago. We don't cause trouble, but we're definitely not afraid of it! If you have any problems, just tell us. Master and the brothers will definitely support you unconditionally!" The eldest brother smiled brightly. But he was a little nervous inside. He was afraid that his little sister, Jiaojiao, had been led astray by the second brother, and that he was being groomed into a troublemaker. He didn't have to do anything else every day but fight!

No one took it for granted, and no one coveted what she had. Instead, they protected her unconditionally. Du Shuangshuang was very happy.

"Haha, we Xiaoyao Peak people are meant to be united. We are all one family. Oh, by the way, give me that formation in your hand. I just got some new materials, and they could be used right away."

Your cultivation progress is very fast. Although your cultivation is very stable, your other Taoist practical skills may be slightly worse. You should calm down and study carefully, practice more, and go to the sect's lecture hall and martial arts hall more often when you have nothing to do. If you want to improve, it is best to defend the ring in the martial arts hall for a period of time. This is the fastest way to grow.

Alternatively, you can pick a skill you're interested in and learn it. Your senior brother is quite skilled in talisman formations, so you can ask him for lessons when you have time. The sect also offers courses. If you want to learn swordsmanship, you can ask your second senior brother; he's more proficient in that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the master or your senior brothers.

Of course, not only in cultivation, but for all matters, you can seek help from Master and other senior brothers. If anyone dares to ignore you or treat you perfunctorily, just go to Master and he will make the decision for you."

As Master Xuancheng was talking, the second senior brother was still muttering quietly, "Master is partial. I remember that I was thrown directly onto the stage. He always has a serious face towards me, or an angry and violent face, but he speaks softly to my junior sister..."

This is not just whispering. We are all cultivators. What’s the difference between this and speaking directly into someone’s ear?

"Oh, you? Are you worthy?"

What happened next left Du Shuangshuang dumbfounded. Master Xuancheng carried Second Senior Brother away like a chicken. They were both in their twenties, and Second Senior Brother was about the same height as Master, yet such an effect could occur. "Come on, let me see how your swordsmanship has improved recently."

Seeing Du Shuangshuang's eyes widened, even though he was still using that inconspicuous fake appearance, he looked so cute. "Little Junior Sister, don't be surprised. Your Second Senior Brother is just like that. You'll get used to it." The eldest senior brother said with a smile.

Ah? Habit, this second brother probably can’t get enough of being beaten!

Now that things were settled, my second uncle wanted to go pick up the Du family, but Master wouldn't let them go. "Just stay in the sect. If someone gets desperate and your information gets leaked, it'll be very dangerous to leave. Master will make arrangements to pick them up."

The task of picking up the person finally fell on the shoulders of the two senior brothers.

Soon, the Du family reunited, but Du Shuangshuang felt a little guilty. Because of her, everyone else might have to stay here on Xiaoyao Peak. It wasn't that they couldn't go out, but if they were alone, even within the sect, they weren't completely safe. The family was very cautious and decided to stay here, not going out unless necessary.

After the Du family arrived, Xiaoyao Peak welcomed another distinguished guest - Shangshan Zhenjun from Bishui Peak.
