Cheng Yuan, Ning Jiao's second senior brother, the dragon prince of the East China Sea, is also one of the admirers of the heroine Ruan Sangtian.

It's just that he is the type who protects silently, like a good brother, always clearing obstacles for Ruan Sangtian without anyone noticing.

Known for his sense of proportion and carefulness.

For example, Cheng Yuan knew very early that Ning Jiao hated Ruan Sangtian and that she had an extraordinary admiration for Xie Fanzhi.

Even earlier than she herself was aware.

It is enough to see how scheming Cheng Yuan is. He is just a black dumpling with a white exterior and a black interior.

He knew that as the prince of the dragon clan, he would inherit the throne in the future, and his wife could only be a princess of the mermaid clan. So even if he had a favorite woman in his heart, he could not reveal his feelings. Protecting and pampering her as a brother could make their relationship last longer.

Well... ...for Ruan Sangtian, Cheng Yuan is the best among his admirers.

Deep love brings few troubles.

But from Ning Jiao's perspective, it was an unprovoked disaster. It was just bad luck that he saw through her. She should have remained emotionless and acted like a fake person.

Look, he's here to cause trouble.

"How did Junior Sister get hurt? And Master."

"By the way, why is Venerable Puhua traveling with you?"

His tone was calm as if he was just showing ordinary concern. As he spoke, he took out a pill that was glowing purple. Just by looking at the faint purple lines on it, one could tell that it was no ordinary pill.

Cheng Yuan is a high-level alchemist.

Ning Jiao remained calm. She pretended to be like him and looked at the pill in the man's clean palm, then bent down and licked it into her mouth.

"... Second Brother doesn't know, but didn't the eldest brother tell you?"

"It was that ancient demon! It was so powerful that even Master fell for it. Mainly, it was to save Junior Sister." He sighed, "It's all my fault. This Senior Sister is really not up to par. She can't take care of herself and she's worried about being a drag on the team. If Second Brother had gone on this trip, maybe we wouldn't have..."

Cheng Yuan looked at his empty palm thoughtfully. The momentary wetness just now seemed to be an illusion. When he looked at Ning Jiao in the pool again, there was some scrutiny in his eyes.

The woman looked normal, but her blood-stained clothes were no longer recognizable. Soaked in the pool water, they became stained layer by layer, making her look like a blooming flower. Her bloodless cheeks looked even more delicate and beautiful against the backdrop of her black hair. She had a thin figure and a cold temperament... just like... before.

Somehow, those eyes seemed brighter and more resilient than before.

The tacky appearance that seemed beautiful before now has gained a bit of spirituality... It's really strange, but I can't tell what's wrong.

"Then, Venerable Puhua."

When it comes to this, Ning Jiao tells the truth and briefly talks about how she mistakenly cast a spell and Xie Fanzhi sprayed her with blood, and was accidentally injured by Pu Hua due to misunderstanding.

"This Pu Hua hurt me and didn't even apologize."

Cheng Yuan frowned, pondering the truth of these words. Then he heard Ning Jiao's complaint and immediately became unhappy. "You think you can just make up a story about Venerable Puhua? Your problem will be handled by Master."

After saying that, he left a sentence "Have a good rest" and turned away.

It's really interesting. This second brother never asked her "Are you well?" from beginning to end, and even blocked her casual complaints. This original body was not just hated, but completely ignored.

However, after seeing the considerable stupidity points she gained from Cheng Yuan, she was no longer so angry.

It doesn't matter. He looks down on the original body, and she, the fake one, will go and collect the debt later.

After sorting things out, she realized that there were no important plots that required her to personally participate in the recent events. During this period of time, she would first reduce the stupidity of the people around her and then consolidate her cultivation.

No matter what time it is, strength comes first.

She can pretend to be weak, but she can't be truly weak.

This world is overflowing with spiritual energy, so most cultivators can easily reach the Golden Core stage after passing the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, Golden Core is not a rare achievement in this world, and those like my original body who have cultivated for a hundred years and are still stuck at the early stages of Golden Core are rare.

Qingxuan Sect is one of the best places for cultivation, and the original body's slow progress is simply famous.

The original body's personality was influenced by many factors, such as family environment and her own talents. To put it nicely, her temperament was cold and difficult to approach. In fact, she was taciturn, self-deprecating and rarely showed up. As the eldest sister, she had a very low presence in the sect, and only her face could make her presence felt in the immortal cultivation sect.

Therefore, the original body was a very contradictory existence in the eyes of everyone. In addition, she was not smart and was barely able to be a last elder in the Discipline Hall. She did not know how to adapt and was rigid and serious, so no one liked her.

She was the least favored of Xie Fanzhi's five disciples, and received the worst resources. It could be said that she had no idea how to use them. Ning Jiao opened her original body's Qiankun bag, and sure enough, there were many good things inside, which were a bargain for her.

Flattering the powerful and bullying the weak is nothing new at any time, and even the servants of her own Ripple Palace often bump into her.

Haha, let’s see how she deals with them.

Look, she returned to Lianyi Palace in a dishevel. The servants had deserted their posts one after another, and no one came forward to ask about the palace master's injuries.

Ning Jiao thought about it and decided not to waste time talking to them. She sent the man directly to the Discipline Hall. The punishment for abusing power for the first time was extremely severe.

She believed that after this, without her saying anything more, her stupidity would increase day by day, and her vicious and stupid personality would become more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Now she needed to complete the score increase, and it was not the time to change the plate.

Ning Jiao now only wants to refine the last bit of essence and blood left in her body by Xie Fanzhi. Her original talent was problematic, and she can make good use of this thing to cleanse her meridians.

While there was a commotion outside, Ning Jiao went into seclusion without saying a word.

"What is Senior Sister doing? Is she stupid?! I thought she was finally standing up for once, but she's hiding away like a coward."

"Retreat? I think she's just running away."

"I never saw her being so active before."

Mu Feng: "That's enough. Ning Jiao has just broken through to the Golden Core stage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's only right for her to go into seclusion."

The young man who spoke was still a little boy with great talent. He was the son of the previous sect leader and was already in the middle stage of the Golden Core at a young age.

Calling Ning Jiao "senior sister" is actually not an exaggeration to be Ning Jiao's senior brother based on his cultivation and talent.

"What a troublemaker! She let the eldest brother clean up her mess."

Mu Feng said seriously, "Junior brother, we are all fellow disciples, how can you blame her like this? After all, she is also your senior sister."

Zhuang Yusheng muttered, seemingly unconvinced, "I don't have a senior sister like her. It's shameful..."
