The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

On a steep hillside, a group of men and women laborers, their backs hunched, were carrying water to irrigate the sacred fields on the mountain.

One of the servants, about 10 years old, had been carrying water for half a day and was simply too exhausted to continue.

His knees buckled and he knelt on the ground, his knees immediately breaking open. Blood mixed with water splattered onto a female outer disciple standing nearby.

"How dare you get my clothes dirty!"

The female disciple, seeing that her brand-new Taoist robe was dirty, angrily drew the whip from her waist.

With a snap, the whip swept through the air with a sharp wind, lashing the child's back and tearing his skin open.

The servant boy burst into tears.

This crying further enraged the other woman, who then lashed the child with her whip like raindrops.

"stop."

Someone grabbed the whip of the outer sect female disciple.

"Senior Sister in charge, he's just a child. You're hitting him so hard; you'll hurt his bones."

The speaker's eyes were filled with sympathy. How old was this child? He must have been born into a poor family and sent here to work as a servant just to have enough to eat.

"Xia Xuanji, it's you again. Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me, your senior sister, like that?"

The senior sister in charge and Xia Xuanji faced off against each other.

Xia Xuanji is an ordinary disciple of the outer sect. She has a well-proportioned figure and is not particularly beautiful, but she is pleasing to the eye.

“I am also an outer disciple. The sect has a rule that children under the age of 12, even if they are doing menial tasks, cannot do heavy physical labor. This child is only 10 years old this year.”

"How dare you! I am the senior sister in charge. Don't think I don't know that you're just trying to show off in front of me because you have a friend who is an inner disciple."

"What a pity, your inner sect friend doesn't take you seriously at all. It's been so long, and she hasn't come to see you even once. She probably doesn't consider you a friend anymore."

The words of the senior sister in charge hit the nail on the head regarding Xia Xuanji's thoughts.

She and Ye Yunong hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Ye Yunong must be angry that she had spoken ill of her junior brothers.

Even so, Xia Xuanji would not regret saying those words. She simply couldn't stand those junior brothers from Qinglian Peak bullying her friend.

"You're not going to stand up for these lowly servants? Fine, I'll give you a chance. You alone, without using any magic, irrigate all the more than a thousand acres of spiritual fields on this mountain today."

If you don't complete this, you can forget about registering for the sect competition this year.

The senior sister in charge sneered, "If Xia Xuanji wants to stick her neck out, then let her stick it out to her heart's content."

"You've gone too far! A thousand acres of spiritual fields—I can't possibly irrigate them all without using my magic."

When Xia Xuanji heard that her registration was cancelled, her hand holding the whip trembled slightly.

The head disciple's uncle is an elder in the outer sect. Relying on her uncle, she bullies women and men in the outer sect and has even killed several old and young servants. Other disciples saw this but dared not speak up.

Xia Xuanji had always wanted to join the inner sect, because only by joining the inner sect could she obtain better cultivation resources and find Ye Yunong.

"If you can't do it, why do you still dare to meddle in other people's business?"

The senior sister in charge glanced behind Xia Xuanji. The group was standing on the mountain steps, tens of thousands of steps. If they fell, they would either die or lose an arm or a leg.

She secretly channeled her inner energy into the whip, and the whip lashed out fiercely towards Xia Xuanji's vital points.

On the mountain steps, Ye Yunong watched coldly.

She raised her hand, and a stream of chaotic true energy flowed into a stone she had picked up at random. In the instant that the senior sister in charge was making things difficult for Xia Xuanji, the stone flew over without anyone noticing.

The supervising senior sister was acting arrogantly when she suddenly felt something hit her knee. A sharp pain shot through her as her kneecap shattered.

"what!"

The supervising senior sister tumbled down the steep mountain steps.

As soon as the supervising senior sister rolled down, someone shouted loudly.

"Get out of the way! Don't step on your senior sister!"

The servants were terrified and scattered immediately upon hearing voices.

Supervisor: (Thank you so much!)

The senior sister in charge screamed and rolled down the mountain like a ball. When she passed by Ye Yunong, Ye Yunong kicked her hard, and the senior sister in charge instantly turned into a whirlwind and disappeared completely on the mountain steps.

"Dense clouds!"

Seeing Ye Yunong walk forward with a smile, Xia Xuanji was still stunned. What had just happened? The senior sister in charge had missed a step and fallen down, and Yunong had even kicked her?

No, she must have misread it. Yun Nong is so kind, she would never do such a thing!

Xia Xuanji rushed in front of Ye Yunong and reached out her hand.

She stared at Ye Yunong, unable to resist pinching and rubbing her face. After confirming that she was a living person, she burst into tears and sobs, snot and tears streaming down her face.

"It really is you, you brat! You're not dead! Waaah, you're not dead, you really scared me to death."

It turned out that the news that Ye Yunong had been punished to guard the Cold Abyss a few months ago had also reached the outer sect.

When Xia Xuanji heard about it, she was very worried about Ye Yunong. She took the opportunity of running errands to go to Qinglian Peak to ask Qinglian Shangren to retract his decision, but she was driven out by Ye Yunong's junior sister.

Seeing Xia Xuanji standing safely in front of her, Ye Yunong's eyes also welled up with tears.

Before her eyes appeared the day before her rebirth, on the arena of the sect competition, where Xia Xuanji was beaten by a disciple until she vomited blood.

When she arrived after receiving the news, Xia Xuanji had fallen off the arena, like a bird with broken wings.

She pushed through the crowd and squeezed in front of Xia Xuanji, wanting to save her.

Xia Xuanji shook her head, her mouth agape, forcing out the last sentence.

"Yun Nong, live well."

Xuanji, in this life, we must both live well!

Ye Yunong held Xia Xuanji's hand tightly, refusing to let go for a long time.

"Xuanji, I've come today to apologize to you."

"Hey, we're best friends, why apologize? I'm not angry at all! You've come out of the Cold Abyss, but I feel like you've changed?"

Xia Xuanji was suspicious. Ye Yunong in front of her was taller and more beautiful. Not only that, but there was a calmness in her eyes that she had never seen before, as if she had seen through everything.

"The story of Han Yuan is a long one, I'll tell you about it another time. I also brought some things for you this time."

Ye Yunong gave Xia Xuanji twenty low-grade spirit stones and a spirit weapon, as well as a bottle of Jade Vein Pills given by Old Wang.

She could give more, but she was afraid of scaring Xia Xuanji.

"You've finally figured it out! You've finally thought of your good friend when it comes to good things? But I can't accept these things. You're almost at the Foundation Establishment stage, so you should keep them for yourself."

"Take these, and I won't give them to you for nothing. You'll have to do something for me, and if you do it well, you'll get a great reward. Use these spirit stones to buy a decent Taoist robe and go to a shop in the market with a sign that says 'Golden Phoebe Wood'..."

Ye Yunong gave Xia Xuanji some instructions before leaving the outer gate.

When Ye Yunong went to the outer sect to visit Xia Xuanji, Qin Nanhuai also returned to Qinglian Peak with that pile of materials.

"Fourth Senior Brother~"

"The moment Lu Jinxin saw Qin Nanhuai, she acted like a little bird clinging to him, and hugged his arm."

Junior sister, are you healed?

Qin Nanhuai smiled and patted her head.

"Why are you alone? I heard that you and Fifth Senior Brother went to pick up Eldest Senior Sister, but she still refuses to come back?"

Mentioning Ye Yunong, Qin Nanhuai's face showed some displeasure.
