Lu Zhaozhao came back to his senses and said politely, "How could that be? I'm so happy that my junior sister came to see me."

"Really?" Nian Zhi raised his head, looking at Lu Zhaozhao expectantly with his shining eyes, and asked cautiously: "Then can I come in and talk to Senior Sister?"

Lu Zhaozhao looked at her expectant expression and didn't know whether he should agree or not.

Nian Zhi was the heroine of the original book, and she, Lu Zhaozhao, was the vicious female supporting character, so she had wanted to keep a distance from Nian Zhi from the beginning, and it would be best if there was no contact. But now that the person was standing in front of her, she couldn't refuse her.

Therefore, she could only move sideways to make way for Nian Zhi, who walked in with great anticipation, blinking her watery eyes as she looked around.

"Junior sister, are you troubled by something?"

Lu Zhaozhao poured her a cup of tea and asked straight to the point.

Nian Zhi stammered, lowering her head like a wounded little rabbit, with a beautiful blush at the corners of her eyes, and her voice was soft and pitiful: "I was in danger when I was young, but fortunately my master saved me. He taught me magic, and I am very happy."

When mentioning Yun Xian, Nian Zhi's cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness, making her look more like a little girl.

"But I lack talent. After so many years of training, I still can't break through the Qi training stage. I know that the sect is a major sect in the world, and those who are selected are geniuses picked from thousands of miles away. They are right to look down on me, but, I..."

Her voice choked with sobs and she stopped talking, but it was not difficult for Lu Zhaozhao to guess what she wanted to say next. However, she did not intend to delve into it and just laughed it off.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. Master is highly respected and virtuous. Others won't bully you even if they consider your status. Besides, I see Junior Sister's aura has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, hasn't it?"

Nian Zhi lowered her eyes shyly and buried her head even deeper: "Master heard the rumors in the sect a month ago, so she helped me, but I, I don't want to trouble Master all the time."

"Junior sister, don't be sad. As long as you practice diligently, you will be rewarded."

Lu Zhaozhao tried to comfort her with a few words, but Nian Zhi just kept on telling her about her inner pain, and her voice became more and more trembling.

Seeing that she was about to cry with sadness, Lu Zhaozhao was about to comfort her so that she could send this ancestor away.

But at this moment, a sound of electric current from the system was heard, and it suddenly rose up when Lu Zhaozhao almost forgot its existence.

[The presence of the heroine has been detected. Please perform the duties of the vicious female supporting role and taunt and attack during the cultivation. If you refuse, you will be punished accordingly.]

Depend on!

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes darkened instantly.

Nian Zhi was frightened when she saw Lu Zhaozhao's gloomy face. Tears instantly fell and her whole body twitched as if she was bullied.

Lu Zhaozhao rubbed his brows irritably and walked closer to Nian Zhi, saying, "What's the rumor? Is it that your qualifications don't make you worthy of being Master's disciple, or that your abilities are simply unworthy of being Emperor Huizong of Qing?"

Nian Zhi nodded timidly. Lu Zhaozhao continued, "If you ask me, they're not wrong."

When Nian Zhi heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Zhaozhao in disbelief.

Lu Zhaozhao rubbed his aching brow and continued, "Even outer disciples within the Qing Huizong sect are considered quite talented in the world of cultivation, let alone disciples under our master. Our eldest brother broke through to the Golden Core stage three years after entering the sect, and even defeated all the heroes at the Golden Palace Banquet to win the first prize. I am also well-known and can be said to be one of the best among my peers without being modest. But you, you have been entering the sect for nearly four years and are still confined to Qi training. You even need the help of our master to barely break through. It's been a month, and your Qi is still weak. Even if your talent is poor, a month of accumulation is more than enough. Elder Cang Jiong's first disciple's talent is not outstanding, but when it comes to diligence, he said that no disciple in the second sect dares to claim to be the best. He would be looked down upon. So, you have neither talent nor hard work. How can you convince others?"

Her words were so sharp and harsh that they made Nian Zhi burst into tears, like a string of beads that had broken off the string.

She sniffed hard, stood up in panic and tried to escape, but Lu Zhaozhao, who was walking behind her, pushed her down and forced her to listen.

"You said you were in danger since childhood, lost both your parents, and were left alone and helpless. Yes, you are indeed pitiful, but the thing has already happened and cannot be undone. But Master brought you back to Qinghui and taught you the techniques himself. This is a privilege that neither my senior brother nor I have ever had. Yet, you have such an opportunity, but you complain all day long and don't think about striving hard to avenge your family. As for your experience in Qinghui, I can only tell you that the world of cultivation only respects the strong. Instead of complaining to me or my senior brother, you should seize the time to practice and make these people shut up."

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Nian Zhi who was sobbing uncontrollably in front of her, feeling a little reluctant and guilty. She had to complete the system's task, so she could only speak with such sharp words. She only hoped that Nian Zhi could understand her implication, concentrate on cultivation, return to the right path, and preferably not have any entanglement with her.

"Senior Sister." Nian Zhi said weakly, "Have you always looked down on me?"

"Hmm?" Her sudden question confused Lu Zhaozhao. Before she could react, Nian Zhi continued, "I noticed it back at Dusk Mountain. Senior Sister, your attitude towards me is different from your attitude towards others. Later, when we returned to the sect for the assessment, you clearly witnessed how others slandered me, yet you remained so indifferent."

"Senior Sister." Nian Zhi stood up and looked at Lu Zhaozhao, his eyes full of anger. "I heard that before I came, Senior Sister was a rare female disciple in the sect, and she was also a disciple of Master, and was very favored. Now Senior Sister treats me like this, could it be that because I came, the favor of Master and Senior Brother was divided, and Senior Sister doesn't like me like this."

Lu Zhaozhao was so angry that she laughed after hearing her words. It turned out that Nian Zhi not only didn't understand her hidden meaning, but also had so many random thoughts in his mind.

Mushan? Assessment? It had been so long since she could remember any of these things, but Nian Zhi firmly believed that it was because he didn't like her.

What a joke, how dare she dislike the heroine!

"Junior sister, you know, I really want to open your head and see what's inside." Lu Zhaozhao still had a smile on her face, but her sharp eyes revealed her dissatisfaction. "You said I don't like you, but your cultivation is so low that you are not even qualified to be my opponent. Why should I dislike you? As for the favor of others, I'm sorry, I don't need it."

Lu Zhaozhao's face turned cold. She looked at Nian Zhi, whose face was covered with tears, and said clearly, "From the current situation, it seems that Junior Sister has been holding a grudge against me from the beginning."

"I didn't!" Nian Zhi denied loudly.

Lu Zhaozhao stopped her from retorting and said sternly, "You know whether it's true or not, but even if it is, it doesn't matter to me. Just like refuting those who gossip about you behind your back, the best way to dispel doubts is to improve yourself."

"If you really want me to respect you, Junior Sister, show me your abilities."

After saying this, she released her hand from Nian Zhi's shoulder. Nian Zhi glared at her with her eyes red from crying, stomped her feet, and ran out of the door crying.

After she walked away, the system prompt in her mind appeared again.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, please keep up the good work. ]

"How stingy! There's not even a reward." Lu Zhaozhao muttered helplessly, and slowly walked over to close the door.
