The original body was sensitive and taciturn, and most of her cultivation was accumulated through medicinal pills. The benefits brought to her by Xie Fanzhi's thousand-year-old virginity could not offset the shortcomings in her previous cultivation.

Therefore, Ning Jiao used the last bit of her blood and essence along with the marrow cleansing pill to cleanse her meridians thoroughly. In the small stone room, a bright lamp kept burning, illuminating all her pain.

... ...This really hurts.

The lights sometimes swayed and sometimes rose, and the figures on the wall sometimes twisted and sometimes changed shape. After an unknown amount of time, the painful voice of the woman in the stone chamber gradually disappeared, and the shadows on the wall returned to their graceful state. Only a slight gasp echoed in the air.

Ning Jiao didn't know how long it had been, she just felt that the meridians somewhere in her body suddenly became unblocked, and a constant stream of spiritual energy lingered around her. Her sea of ​​consciousness was surging, and she began to practice unconsciously until her sea of ​​consciousness calmed down, leaving her with an endless sea of ​​tranquility and depth.

What followed was an indescribable sense of peace and joy, a freedom and lightness that the soul had never felt before.

A month later.

The cranes from Wuming Peak flew across the sky, passing over the peaks. Frosty clouds drifted leisurely and gathered around the peaks. Lush green pines were embedded in the rocky valleys. The disciples of Qingxuan Sect who were practicing swordsmanship on the plain were startled by a loud noise.

From afar, a small hill exploded. When the rocks turned to ashes, an extremely rich spiritual energy shot up into the sky, and the bright pink color enveloped the entire mountain.

"Which elder has entered?!"

Everyone focused their attention, "Isn't that the Ripple Palace?"

As she spoke, Ning Jiao's figure appeared in mid-air. She was still wearing the same blood-stained clothes, but after the torture of marrow washing, they were now tattered, revealing her fair arms and calves.

Ning Jiao descended from the sky while performing magic, and bright pink spiritual energy gathered in the area.

"How could it be her? Come out!"

Ning Jiao checked her stupidity points during this period and found that she had gained quite a lot. Therefore, when she appeared in front of everyone in this manner, she could see that their faces were not very happy.

She has a fairy-like figure, flowing black hair, a cold and delicate face, and comes walking on the clouds, like the Queen Mother of the West descending to the earth.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Junior sister."

The swordsmanship instructor today was Mu Feng. He came over with his sword drawn, looking extremely happy. "Have you made progress again?"

Ning Jiao nodded and chuckled, "Big Brother, I originally wanted to consolidate my realm first, but I didn't expect to make further progress."

Mu Feng smiled gently, thinking of the efforts Ning Jiao had made in the past, "You deserve it."

Before they could say anything, a group of people came marching towards them, dressed in black and cold armor. If they were right, they were from the Discipline Hall.

Who understands? I was scolded on the first day after leaving the customs.

"Elder Ning, please don't embarrass us. This... is also what the elders want."

Ning Jiao: "It's okay, I'll go with you."

She thought it was not a big deal, at most she would be locked up for a few days for abusing her power, but when she arrived at the Discipline Hall, things did not seem to be the case.

They seemed to want to use this opportunity to depose her from her position as elder.

Are you kidding? She hasn't even experienced being an elder yet, and they're already trying to take this opportunity to destroy her. They're also taking advantage of Ning Jiao's lack of attention in front of Xie Fanzhi, so they can profit from it and give this position to someone "their own."

After looking through the plot, this incident will not affect anything at all.

Then... don't blame her.

"You're abusing your power and imposing a lynching sentence. As an elder, you disobeyed the rules and knowingly broke the law. Ning Jiao, do you plead guilty?!"

The voice was as loud as a bell, and it carried a sharp gust of wind towards Ning Jiao in the center of the hall.

Ning Jiao blocked it casually and said calmly, "I don't recognize it."

The hall fell silent for a moment, then began to chatter like birds. It was nothing more than some unrelated question: how dare she, relying on her advancement, contradict the head of the Discipline Hall?

"What is Ning Jiao doing? She's clearly bullying the palace servants. She doesn't think she can be tough just because she's in this realm, does she?"

"She hasn't made any contributions to the Discipline Hall over the years, yet she's so self-righteous and confident. It's simply... shameless."

 …

"Junior sister, don't confront them head-on."

Mu Feng's expression of worry didn't seem fake, but his "persuasion to surrender" attitude really made her feel disheartened. She was the child he had personally raised, yet she had no idea of ​​the original body's true character.

"Big Brother, are you asking me to admit my mistake?"

Without waiting for him to speak, Ning Jiao launched into a barrage of criticism, "What have I done wrong? I've nurtured them for centuries, even gifting them with medicinal herbs and elixirs. Even after returning from the Bloody Clothes, they haven't even served them a cup of tea. The brocade fish that have swam freely in the spiritual spring for a hundred years have become their feast... I had no idea you were so generous as to allow such a servant to stay with me?"

"Ning Jiao really admits defeat."

"The elder asked Ning Jiao to confess her crime right away. Ning Jiao really didn't know what crime she had committed."

Ning Jiao didn't want to waste time talking to them, so she threw out the Mirror of Light that had been in the Ripple Palace for a hundred years. "Take your time to look at it, I have something else to do."

Regardless of these people's looks and expressions, Ning Jiao turned around and flew back to Lianyi Palace on her sword.

Then came Mu Feng, "Junior sister!"

Ning Jiao stopped and asked, "Brother, why are you following me? Are you here to help them interrogate me? Arrest me? Brother, you really disappoint me. I thought... you would at least ask the whole story first."

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and her obsidian eyes were filled with disappointment and fragility. She was already very beautiful, and a slightly fragile look was enough to confuse people.

"Could it be that this is who I am in Senior Brother's mind?"

"No."

The breeze blew up Mu Feng's azure hairband, and his clothes fluttered. His expression was full of self-blame, as if everything he said was what he thought in his heart.

"Brother, I just think this solution is extremely unwise. Ning Jiao, you're being reckless."

At this moment, the score of Mu Feng's electronic screen continued to rise.

Ning Jiao raised her eyebrows and said softly, "So, Senior Brother actually thinks I'm stupid?"

Every word, slowly and methodically.

Mu Feng's eyebrows showed embarrassment, "It's not just that. Brother doesn't want you to make too many enemies."

"But I just don't want to be wronged."

Ning Jiao spoke, a crystal tear sliding down her cheek. Facing Mu Feng's eyes, she recounted the years of grievance and resentment: "From childhood to adulthood, I've prided myself on being well-behaved and obedient, with good talent, but Master simply refused to teach me personally. Just when I felt there was no hope, Senior Brother appeared in my world. You were gentle and patient, attentive to my every care, and tirelessly taught me... In Ning Jiao's heart, besides Master, who saved me from the sea of ​​corpses, you are the most important person to me."

"But... ..."

Ning Jiao lowered her head, seemingly overwhelmed. "But! You've changed. You don't understand me, you misunderstand me, you scold me, and even today you asked me to confess such an absurd crime! Senior Brother...how did you become like this?"

"I'm so sad. Why do they have to bully me?"

Ning Jiao took the opportunity to hug the stunned Mu Feng, smelling his pleasant scent and continuing to cry, begging him like a child, "Brother, please don't change, okay? I know I have my faults too, and I have lost the face of Master and Brother for so many years, but can you please be accommodating to me a little longer and give me some more chances..."

Ning Jiao quietly put her arms around Mu Feng's thin waist, hehe... nice waist.

It was as if a heavy rain had fallen in Mu Feng's heart, making it a mess.

He didn't expect that Ning Jiao regarded him so seriously. She had always been taciturn, and she was crying today because she had suffered a great injustice.

I couldn't help but think of her appearance as a child, dressed in rags, with dry and yellow hair, but with a pair of beautiful eyes that were blinking and full of vitality.

He thought he was taking good care of her, but in fact he was always letting others hurt her.

"...I'm sorry, it's my fault. I failed to protect you."

Mu Feng looked at the aggrieved Ning Jiao and reached out to stroke her black hair, "I won't do that next time."

"Senior Brother will take care of the servants' affairs."

Solve? Solve what?!

The most important thing now is to strike while the iron is hot and ease the "feelings" between them.

"Brother, don't go."

Ning Jiao raised her head and looked at him, saying delicately, "I have already put the evidence in front of them. It is obvious at a glance."

Mu Feng looked at her red eyes and felt a pang of heartache. "It's true that there is evidence, but with so many people talking, there must be people who protect your reputation. Elder Yu has been accumulating prestige for a long time. If you refute him in public today, I wonder if it will..."

Ning Jiao stretched out her hand to block his next words, "Don't worry about it for now, I want my senior brother to accompany me more."

"My reputation isn't very good anyway. This can only solve the problem temporarily, but it won't solve it forever. Brother, take your time."

"...Now, I just want to hug my senior brother, and I also want him to hug me."

These words... ...the host really has a strong belief. How did she make this sentence sound so "wolf in sheep's clothing"?

【Host, please be mindful of the scale.】

[You're the one who talks too much. Go away and don't bother me! ]

Who can resist a junior sister with red eyes begging for pity?

Therefore, Mu Feng really stayed with Ning Jiao in Lianyi Palace for the whole night. During this night, Ning Jiao did a lot to improve the image of Mu Feng in her mind and expressed her true feelings.

It makes people cry and feel heartbroken when they hear it.

Of course, Ning Jiao took advantage of him a lot.
