This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

"It's not my place to do things, you little brat, stop pointing fingers at me. Go do what you're supposed to do. Otherwise..." The monkey-faced woman not only didn't back down, but became even more arrogant, her face fierce and ferocious.

At this moment, the short-haired girl had already hidden to the side and was just watching Lianxue and the others argue.

She acted as if it were none of her business, seemingly forgetting that those people were there for their food, and that several people in the group were already injured.

He remained unmoved, no matter how the injured person wailed and rolled on the ground.

He even watched them argue with great interest.

The others sat on their beds watching the spectacle, indifferent to what was going on, their faces beaming with excitement. Some, not wanting to miss out on the fun, kept shouting and cheering.

"Keep hitting, don't stop—keep going."

"Don't spoil the fun, keep fighting. If you die, that's just bad luck, hahaha."

Some people advised against it, saying, "This little girl is none of your business, you'd better not provoke her."

"Damn it... I have such a bad temper! Come on, I'm not afraid of you." Hearing the woman's words, Qing Shu couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, ready to fight.

"I would like to ask you all, why have we come here? What is our purpose? What was your original intention in cultivating?" Lian Xue asked three questions in a row, and many people remained silent.

"Don't try that on me," the monkey-faced woman retorted.

"Is our purpose in cultivation to help the weak and fight the strong, to protect our country and our families, or to become a bad person?" Lian Xue asked, ignoring the monkey-faced woman's words.

"If you want to be a villain, then pretend I didn't say anything today. Do whatever you want, I won't stop you." Lian Xue's gaze swept over everyone.

Everyone she saw felt a burning pain on their face and a sense of utter shame.

The monkey-faced woman didn't argue further, but as if to save face, she added, "What's so great about it? Humph!"

“Since we’re all striving to become stronger and protect those we want to protect, let’s not target each other. I have some food here; feel free to trade with me if you need any.” Lian Xue said, taking out her food and placing it on the bed.

Qing Shu looked at Lian Xue with starry eyes, completely turning into a fangirl. "Wow! Sister Xue, you're amazing! I like you more and more." After saying that, she couldn't help but reach out and hug Lian Xue.

Several people on the roof witnessed everything that happened.

The middle-aged man looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes, "I was originally thinking of having you handle this, but it seems it's not necessary."

Yunzhi smiled and said, "Yes, this girl is so sensible at such a young age, and she handles things in a very organized manner. Not bad."

The young man fiddled with his folding fan. "Oh dear, it seems we've found a few promising talents this year, but I wonder how much talent they have."

Yunzhi looked down and whispered, "I hope there will be more children with such a mindset in the sect."

After speaking, the three of them vanished in a flash, leaving the house empty except for the gentle night breeze.

The girl assigned by Lianxue searched for a long time but couldn't find Yunzhi. When she asked the guards, she was told that they had no authority to handle the matter and that she had to find Yunzhi.

Having no other choice, she continued searching. Just as she was at a loss, she saw Yunzhi walking slowly towards her from a distance.

"Aunt Yun, quick! Go see what's going on! They're fighting, they're even using weapons! If we wait any longer, someone might die!" the girl gasped as she finished speaking.

But then Yunxi said, "Such a thing has happened? Go and see." After saying that, she tucked the girl under her arm and disappeared in a flash.

The girl felt a wave of dizziness, and when she looked up, she was already back in front of her accommodation.

At this moment, Lianxue was directing the others to collect items and exchange them for food.

When Yunxi arrived, this was the scene she saw. A slight smile appeared on her lips. She put the girl down and coughed, "Ahem~ I heard someone was injured, almost killed, huh?"

"Aunt Yun, what are you talking about? We were just sparring. It was just an accidental injury during the sparring. Don't you all agree?" The monkey-faced woman looked at everyone with a fawning expression.

"Yes"

Ah! Yes.

Yes, yes, that's it.

The injured men quickly echoed their agreement.

Lianxue watched quietly without saying a word, and Qingshu also remained silent.

Yunzhi was satisfied, but her face remained expressionless. Her tone was serious. "Remember, no matter how you spar, you must not risk your lives. Otherwise, you will be disqualified and sent back immediately."

"Aunt Yun, go ahead and get busy. Don't worry, it definitely won't happen again," the short-haired woman echoed.

The others nodded in agreement; no one dared to be arrogant in front of the manager.

"Nothing is best, hmph," Yunzhi said, turning and walking away.

Food continued to be distributed inside the room, and no one noticed that someone was quietly leaving from the corner.

"Manager Yun, I have something to say." A furtive figure blocked Yun Zhi's path.

Yunzhi looked at the girl with interest. The girl's first impression was that she was weak and vulnerable, and pitiful. "Just now, they were all lying. They did have murderous intent, and they did kill. It was Xiaoru and Jingwei."

The girl looked so cautious that if Yunzhi didn't know what had happened, she would have believed her.

Yunzhi's expression was solemn, her hands clenched tightly, showing anger at being deceived. "How could such a thing happen? They are too audacious to deceive me. Go back now, and don't make a fuss about this. It will be dealt with tomorrow."

"Sorry to bother you." The girl turned around with a smile, wondering if she had done something good.

I'll definitely get a reward tomorrow. If I get a reward tomorrow, I don't want anything else, just a guaranteed admission. Where can you find someone as kind as me? Hehe... I happily fantasized in my heart.

What she didn't see was that Yunzhi didn't leave after she left, but stood there looking at her with complicated eyes.

Suddenly, two figures appeared again. "I didn't expect this girl to be so cunning at such a young age," the middle-aged man shook his head.

"This woman has a bad temper! You'll handle her tomorrow," the young man instructed Yunzhi.

"Yes, I will handle it. Even if someone is highly talented but has a bad temper, it won't work." Yunzhi looked at the two of them with only respect on her face.

It was clear that these two people were no ordinary individuals. After speaking, they dispersed again.

After distributing the food, Lianxue also made a small profit, including spirit stones, weapons, talismans, and pills, with different items available depending on the level and quantity.

They had bought a lot of things in that city before, and now they could exchange them with them.

"Wow! That's great. What a bumper harvest!" Qing Shu exclaimed happily.

"Okay, let's distribute it to everyone, give her a little more." After Lianxue finished speaking, she pointed to the girl who brought the message, because she was the most clever one.

"Thank you, sisters." The girl accepted the gifts without refusing.

With food available, everyone quieted down, and after eating and drinking their fill, they began to meditate.

There is no moon tonight, the sky is pitch black, and you can't see your hand in front of your face.

At that moment, someone came out to relieve himself, carrying a lantern as he approached the corner of his house.

The night watchman announced the time: "At the third quarter of the hour of You (5:45 PM), the weather is dry, be careful with fire, sound the gong to let everyone know, and close the doors and windows."

Two figures flashed by, unnoticed by anyone.

Finally, the first crow of the rooster broke the silence, and someone pushed open the window, yawning as they stepped out of their room to begin their morning exercise.

Lianxue returned to the peach tree, determined to be in top condition for the challenges to come.

Just as I was about to close my eyes to cultivate, a voice came.

"I want to challenge you."
