Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Zhenzhen released the Moon-Illuminating Vine to scout out the situation.

He released his divine sense to observe the three people, a group of two women and one man. The man's cultivation level was at the 9th level of Qi Refining, while one woman was at the 8th level of Qi Refining and the other at the 5th level of Qi Refining.

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but recall the cliché plot of two women competing for one man written in the sketchbook.

Ye Zhenzhen shuddered. If it weren't for wanting to know where she was, she really wouldn't want to get close at all.

Ye Zhenzhen adjusted her cultivation level to the fifth level of Qi Refining and slowly walked towards the three people.

Before they even got close, they heard the red-clad female cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining say to the white-clad female cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for protecting you, how could Senior Brother Hu have been injured?"

The white-robed female cultivator was crying beside her, saying, "Senior Brother Hu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I really didn't mean to. I just thought this little lion was cute and couldn't resist taking it away. I really didn't mean to."

The woman in red continued impatiently, "It's not like you did it on purpose. You never do it on purpose, but you always cause trouble."

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the red-clad female cultivator; with her straightforward nature, she definitely couldn't outmaneuver the white-clad female cultivator.

The white-robed female cultivator looked so delicate and her crying softened everyone's heart.

Upon seeing the white-robed female cultivator, Senior Brother Hu couldn't help but interrupt the red-robed female cultivator, saying, "Alright, Junior Sister Ding, Junior Sister Mu has already apologized. She didn't mean it, so please stop talking."

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Oh no, Junior Sister Ding is definitely going to be even angrier now."

Immediately afterwards, the red-clad female cultivator, Junior Sister Ding, said angrily, "You actually favor her, Senior Brother Hu. Don't forget, I am your fiancée. How dare you help this bitch!"

After saying that, Junior Sister Ding ran off, heading straight towards Ye Zhenzhen.

When Senior Brother Hu saw Junior Sister Ding run away, he wanted to chase after her, but he was injured and could only watch silently.

The white-robed female cultivator, Junior Sister Mu, saw Senior Sister Ding run away and seized the opportunity to say, "Senior Brother Hu, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Senior Sister Ding definitely wouldn't be angry. Senior Sister Ding left alone; isn't that dangerous? Should we go find her?"

When Senior Brother Hu saw the gentle and kind Junior Sister Mu, compared to the fiery-tempered Junior Sister Ding, he felt a surge of anger and said, "No need to look for her, she'll calm down and come back on her own."

Mu Shimei was secretly delighted; it seemed that Hu Shixiong would soon be unable to stand Ding Shimei.

After running for a while, Junior Sister Ding ran into Ye Zhenzhen.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen retracted the Moon-Illuminating Vine and walked forward in tattered clothes.

Upon seeing Junior Sister Ding, Ye Zhenzhen rushed towards her, her big, round eyes wide open, and timidly said, "Sister, help me!"

Ding Shimei looked wary when she saw the little girl rushing towards her.

He dodged aside and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here all alone?"

Ye Zhenzhen stopped a zhang away from Junior Sister Ding and said, "Sister, my name is Ye Zhenzhen. I was captured and brought here. I escaped, but I got lost and have been wandering in the forest for half a month. I still haven't gotten out. Sister, can you take me out?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Junior Sister Ding with a pleading expression, thinking to herself, "I've pretended to be so pitiful, how can you bear not to help me?"

Junior Sister Ding couldn't bear it, so she moved closer to Ye Zhenzhen, ruffled her hair, and asked, "Who grabbed you?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "A man dressed in black and wearing a black straw hat. He didn't show his face, and I don't know who he is."

Junior Sister Ding used her spiritual power to check Ye Zhenzhen's body. Seeing that she was not injured, she wondered, "The man in black captured you, but didn't whip you or do anything to you?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Junior Sister Ding with a sincere expression, shook her head and said, "No."

Junior Sister Ding fell into deep thought, while Ye Zhenzhen asked directly, "Sister, what's your name? Where is this place?"

Junior Sister Ding said, "My name is Ding Shuyao, a disciple of the South Sea Sect. This is the outer edge of the Misty Forest."

After Ding Shuyao finished speaking, Ye Zhenzhen felt a wave of fear. This was the Misty Forest, the westernmost part of the Western Continent. Once you crossed the Misty Forest, you would leave the Starry Realm.

Ye Zhenzhen was thankful that she was still in the Starry Sky Realm.

He asked Ding Shuyao, "Sister, do you know how far Yunlin City is from here? My home is in Yunlin City."

Ding Shuyao shook her head and said, "After I joined the sect, I rarely left. The farthest I've gone is this place, Yunlin City. I've never heard of it."

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then, unwilling to give up, continued to ask, "Sister, which direction is the nearest city? Can you tell me? I want to go to the city and ask again."

Ding Shuyao couldn't bear to look at the pitiful little girl and said, "The nearest city is Maple Leaf City, which is in the east, probably about 1000 li away."

After saying that, Ding Shuyao looked at Ye Zhenzhen's small frame and couldn't bear it, so she continued, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Ye Zhenzhen pointed in the direction of Senior Brother Hu and said, "Won't this be troublesome? My sister's two friends are still here."

Ding Shuyao glanced at Senior Brother Hu, feeling a chill in her heart. She had been chatting with the young girl for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and Senior Brother Hu hadn't even tried to come looking for her.

He gave a desolate smile and said, "It's no trouble, they're not worth it."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded heavily and said, "Yes, they are not worth it."

Ding Shuyao was amused by Ye Zhenzhen's little expression and said, "What do you know!"

Ye Zhenzhen said seriously, "I understand, how could I not understand? In the story, if you are in a situation like this, the white-clothed woman will keep stirring things up, and Senior Brother Hu will become more and more dissatisfied with you, and you will become angrier and angrier with the white-clothed woman, even bullying her. In the end, Senior Brother Hu will not be able to bear it anymore, abandon you, and elope with the white-clothed woman."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shuyao grabbed Ye Zhenzhen's shoulders and asked, "Why do you say that? What do you know?"

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and said, "I don't know. That's how it's written in the storybooks. Sister, think back, has anything like today ever happened before? Is Senior Brother Hu's attitude gradually changing?"

Ding Shuyao was stunned. Recalling the past, before Junior Sister Mu appeared, she and Senior Brother Hu also had a sweet past.

After Junior Sister Mu appeared, I would often run into her and have some things happen between us. At first, Senior Brother Hu was on her side, but when did he change and start to side with Junior Sister Mu?

Ding Shuyao looked at Ye Zhenzhen and asked, "What should I do?"

"Cough cough," Ye Zhenzhen coughed awkwardly, thinking to herself, "Sister, is it really appropriate for you to ask me, a 10-year-old little radish, this question?"

After thinking seriously for a while, she said, "There are two ways. One is to learn from her, then defeat her and win back Senior Brother Hu; the other is to abandon both of them. He's a scumbag, not worth it."

Ding Shuyao thought for a moment, then summoned her flying artifact, a flying carpet, and carried Ye Zhenzhen onto it, flying towards Maple Leaf City.
