After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Shui Lian'er heard the voice and looked over curiously. She had a good memory and immediately recognized that this little girl was someone she had helped at the disciple recruitment meeting. Without waiting for Jiang Liqian to say anything, she enthusiastically pulled her to sit next to her.

But Yun Ruyi bravely refused, her eyes fixed on the cold Jiang Liqian, eagerly waiting for her answer.

Jiang Liqian didn't even give her a glance. She picked up the lunch box and sat down in another corner.

Her actions shocked Shui Lian'er and Yun Ruyi, and Yun Ruyi's eyes turned red.

She ran over again, wanting to pull Jiang Liqian's sleeve, but she didn't dare. She could only ask her with tears in her eyes: "Qianqian, what did I do wrong? Why are you suddenly ignoring me?"

"Tell me, okay? I'll change. I'll change. Don't ignore me..."

A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. Jiang Liqian closed her eyes, and her mind was full of the image of Yun Ruyi in her previous life who hated her so much that he wanted to eat her alive.

She didn't understand why she suddenly hated her so much, but who could tell her the answer?

"I've said before, from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Don't come looking for me, and I won't bother you." Jiang Liqian looked at her coldly, "But if you understand what I'm saying, don't blame me for being ruthless to you!"

Yun Ruyi, who is still a little child now, turned pale all of a sudden, tears fell one after another, and the whole person looked like a fallen leaf in the wind, scattered and withered, so pitiful.

She was so anxious that she forgot her fear. She clutched Jiang Liqian's sleeve tightly and shook her head in disbelief. "Qianqian, it's impossible. You can't be so mean to me. We agreed that we would cultivate together and live a good life together. We would never let anyone bully us again. That's what we agreed on!"

Jiang Liqian flicked her sleeves and pushed her away.

Yun Ruyi was unable to retreat in time and stumbled to the ground.

"That was before. Now, you don't deserve it."

After saying that, Jiang Liqian didn't even look at her and changed her seat again. This time, she decisively took out the "toy" given to her by her senior brother. A circle shining with golden light covered her head, isolating her from everyone in Qimingzhai.

Not only that, because the eldest brother added the function of a photo stone to the golden circle, people outside the golden circle could only see her sitting upright and flipping through the book on the desk. But in fact, she had gotten up too early and climbed the mountain all morning, so she was so tired that she lay on the table and closed her eyes.

In the distance, Yun Ruyi, who had fallen to the ground, hugged herself and cried uncontrollably. Many of the passing disciples stopped in their tracks, and the soft-hearted female cultivators even went up to comfort her. The disciples who had watched the entire incident began to discuss what had just happened. Many felt that Jiang Liqian had gone too far. They were all new disciples, and even if they didn't like it, there was no need to humiliate them so much.

We are all from the same school. We may not see each other when we look up, but we will see each other when we look down. Don’t we know that we should leave a way out for each other so that we can meet again in the future?

"It seems to me that someone is clearly relying on their status as a direct disciple to look down on others. They were friends who shared hardships just a few days ago, but once they approached the Master of Zhen Peak, they immediately turned against them!"

"That's right, otherwise why would you bully someone for no reason?"

"With such a character, he can become a direct disciple. His spiritual roots are just a little better. Who are you looking down on?"

"Hush, be careful, don't let her hear you. If she becomes more powerful than you and me in the future, she might take revenge on you and beat you to death."

"Humph, who's afraid of her? The Tiangan Sect has always been a place of justice and impartiality. Not to mention the Sect Leader and the Elders, even the Discipline Hall is no pushover. If she dares to play any tricks, I'll report her to the Sect Leader."

……

Qi Mingzhai and the others are still little brats who have just entered the sect. There is not much difference between them. They don’t have a clear concept of strength being respected in the world of cultivation, nor do they understand the cruel path of cultivation where it is either life or death. They only look at people with the most primitive kindness and malice.

It would be a lie to say that she would not hurt anyone, but if she did, Jiang Liqian didn't care at all, because she was no longer as young as four or five years old. She had seen the coldest world, life and death, the creepy demons, and the endless road of cultivating immortals.

When even living is a luxury, what does a little gossip matter?

Besides, she had heard worse.

But just as Jiang Liqian continued to pretend to be asleep with her eyes closed, Shui Lian'er, who was confused and didn't understand the situation, suddenly stood up and angrily scolded those who were whispering.

"Why, you've just finished eating the pastries Li Qian brought and you're already farting? I saw you guys were enjoying your meal, but why are you so mean and saying all these nasty things? If you have the guts, why don't you speak louder? If you're so quiet, you're telling ghosts to hear you!"

"Li Qian didn't say anything, and you're all barking at her and condemning her? Did she do something infuriating? You're all just too full and have nothing to do!

"Stop saying that your disciples are bullying you all the time. What? You want to sow discord? Okay, do you dare to say these words in front of the elders of the Discipline Hall? If you don't dare, then shut up. Don't you understand what it means to be soft-hearted when someone else eats your food and feel guilty when you take something from someone else?

"You only know how to bully the honest people. If you have the guts, come and pick a fight with me. I'll see if I'll give in to you!"

After scolding her harshly, she quickly walked over to Yun Ruyi. After checking that she was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "Although I don't know what happened between you and Xiao Douya, if you are really good friends, and she doesn't want to talk to you now, you shouldn't always pester her. Give her some time, and give yourself some time too. Find the right time to properly and calmly resolve the misunderstanding. I believe Xiao Douya is not the kind of person who will easily abandon her friends."

"You...ah, just...stop crying for now. At worst, I can ask Xiao Douya why she made you so angry. If you really did something wrong, apologize to her and try to get her forgiveness. Crying is useless."

Shui Lian'er couldn't bear to see other people cry, so she softened her tone and assured Yun Ruyi that she would help her mediate the conflict. She then went closer to help her, but Yun Ruyi suddenly got angry: "You don't need to ask me, Qianqian and I are best friends!"

After yelling, he pushed Shui Lian'er away and ran out of Qimingzhai crying.

Unexpectedly, I wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone who was walking slowly in from the door.

Everyone in Qimingzhai was silent.

"It seems that the disciples who came this year are very energetic. In that case, for the first lesson today, let's all run ten laps around the mountain path of Qiming Mountain."
