Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Zhao Xiuming's sudden attack instantly froze the already tense atmosphere, and everyone fell silent with varying expressions.

The silence was broken by a child's voice with an extremely cold tone:

"Senior Brother Zhao, watch your words!"

Li Fuyao's voice was clear, her eyes as cold as a sliver of moonlight in a freezing night, so cold that Zhao Xiuming couldn't help but take a step back, then asked with some embarrassment and annoyance:

"Why are you yelling at me? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Bai Suifeng was held by Li Fuyao's arm behind her back, and could only look at Zhao Xiuming from the top of her fluffy hair.

The two locked eyes. Bai Suifeng wrinkled his nose and bared his teeth, finding the hostility from the guy opposite him utterly inexplicable.

When they first met, this guy was quite dissatisfied with him and Fuyao, and kept siding with that annoying brat from the Yu family. This time they met again, he was still the same.

Fuyao is the cutest girl in the world. He doesn't think his human form is particularly repulsive. Why is this guy always targeting them?

Seeing that the elders remained silent, Zhao Xiuming, as if granted some kind of approval, shifted his gaze from Bai Suifeng's face and took a few steps closer to Li Fuyao and Bai Suifeng with even greater confidence:

"The participants in this test are all eager to leave the illusion, but only the two of you have just started to complain about not wanting to leave."

"You already seem to have unclear motives and act suspiciously, and now you're saying that your bloodline is special and can hear the thoughts of the finger's owner, trying to seduce the elders into widening that hole! Who knows if you're just saying this on purpose to release this thing?"

As he spoke, he glanced discreetly in the direction of the elders and saw that several of them already had suspicious expressions on their faces, which reassured him.

Zhao Xiuming immediately strode forward with even greater arrogance, sneering at Li Fuyao and the other person:

"Judging from his ears and tail, he should be a wolf, right?"

"Wolves are inherently heartless and ungrateful beasts, and he's a wolf demon who can cultivate into human form. It seems that this kid is not only heartless and ungrateful, but also cunning. No matter how much a wolf demon tries to disguise himself as a human, he's still a beast... Ah!"

With a crisp sound, Zhao Xiuming's words were abruptly cut off.

It took him a long time to come to his senses in disbelief, and he covered half his face in a fit of rage, saying:

"You hit me? You dare hit me?!"

"So what if I hit you? You ugly thing, what are you barking about?"

As Li Fuyao spoke, looking at Zhao Xiuming's large face so close to hers, she slapped him again with her backhand:

"You're asking for a beating, aren't you? You brainless idiot, you don't know anything but you're spouting nonsense, huh?"

"How dare you insult my brother? Try barking again and see what happens."

Fuyao is so cool!

My sister is protecting me; she cares about me!

Bai Suifeng's raging anger vanished instantly, as if he had just drunk an ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. His eyes sparkled as he looked over Li Fuyao's head and gleefully made a face at Zhao Xiuming.

The elders were taken aback when they realized that Li Fuyao, who seemed like a gentle and kind girl, would suddenly start fighting over a disagreement.

But Zhao Xiuming is their own disciple, so even if he does something wrong, it is up to them to deal with it.

Now they've been slapped in the face right in front of them by a little girl who hasn't even entered the sect. How is that supposed to be?

If word gets out, what will become of the reputation of their Yanjian Sect?

After exchanging speechless glances, one of the elders, a bearded man, was about to reprimand someone when Li Tianqing raised his hand to stop him before he could even open his mouth or take a step forward.

The elder, also a member of the Obsidian Division, looked at Li Tianqing with confusion and asked urgently:

“Master, Zhao Xiuming has never made a mistake in his work. Although his words were indeed a bit extreme just now, he is still a disciple of our Obsidian Division. How can we let an outsider embarrass him for no reason?”

"Little girl, did you hear what Elder Wang said?"

After the bearded elder finished speaking, Li Tianqing looked at the brother and sister with a half-smile and gently reprimanded them:

“While it was wrong of him to speak harshly, Zhao Xiuming’s suspicions are not entirely unfounded. Although you had your reasons for injuring someone, you went too far. The problem of the illusion has not yet been resolved. We should unite and think of a solution. You three children should not cause any more trouble.”

"Since Elder Wang has spoken, Fuyao, you should apologize to Zhao Xiuming!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiuming first thanked the elders gratefully, then looked up at Li Fuyao with a smug expression and snorted:

"Little girl, did you hear that?"

"Apologize to me right now! Be sincere, or I will never forgive you!"

joke!

Apologizing right after hitting her, how is she supposed to save face?

Thinking that she was just a little kid under ten years old, even if she was a bit willful and stubborn, the elders would not make things too difficult for her because of their superior talent and the great achievements they had just made, so Li Fuyao simply looked up at the sky as if she hadn't heard anything.

She stubbornly picked at her ears, refusing to turn her head even once towards Zhao Xiuming.

Although she didn't say anything, her porcelain-white face clearly showed that she would never apologize.

This shameless attitude of "who cares about you?" made Zhao Xiuming so angry that he lost his composure and grabbed Elder Wang's sleeve, shouting, "Elder, look at her!"

Elder Wang snatched the sleeve back from Zhao Xiuming's hand, his eyes wide with slight annoyance as he looked at Li Fuyao. He felt that this sweet and soft little girl was too insensible, not even knowing how to take a chance when offered one.

She's already this arrogant before even entering the sect. He can't even imagine how arrogant this girl will become after she joins the sect and becomes a disciple of that old guy Ye Wuxin.

He glanced at Li Tianqing, whose expression was equally unpleasant, and was about to speak up for his disciple when he saw Bai Suifeng break free from Li Fuyao's grip and step forward to coldly snort at Zhao Xiuming:

"Wait! This whole thing started because you were the one who spoke rudely first. I'm the one who was insulted by you, so if anyone should apologize, it should be you apologizing to me first!"

"Besides, if you hadn't used those foul words, you wouldn't have gotten beaten up. My sister hit you because you had a foul mouth, and she deserved it. What's wrong with her protecting her family? Why should she apologize!"

Wow, young man, you've made progress!

You used to be so quiet, like a taciturn person, but now you've improved to the point where you can roast people so fluently?

As expected of my little rascal, his fighting power is impressive!

Li Fuyao, who felt comforted by her mother, was in a good mood. She lowered her chin condescendingly and looked at Zhao Xiuming, who was furious, and suddenly bared her teeth in an extremely shameless smile.

"You, you! You sharp-tongued brat!"

Zhao Xiuming was already affected by the previous foul aura, and now he was even more furious after being rebuked by Bai Suifeng's words. He was even more itchy to grin at Li Fuyao, who was hiding behind him and grinning with her gap teeth.

Even though his cultivation had reached the half-step Golden Core stage, under the influence of the filthy power within his soul, Zhao Xiuming rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush up and fight.
