Xiao Yu had just arrived at the Hall of Sect Affairs when someone came to meet him.
A young girl with twin ponytails looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Are you the first-grade alchemist that Master mentioned, Junior Brother?"
Xiao Yu clasped his hands and bowed, "Yes, that's me. May I ask what guidance Senior Sister has for me?"
The girl smiled slightly, "It's not about guidance. Master is setting up a defensive formation and will be here shortly. I'm Master's second disciple, my name is Lü Ling'er! I'm at the third level of Qi Refining!"
Xiao Yu clasped his hands again, "Nice to meet you, Senior Sister Lü..."
Lü Ling'er chuckled softly, "Normally, Master doesn't take male disciples, so you must be extraordinary. Hehe, I look forward to learning from you!"
Xiao Yu replied without looking away, "Senior Sister, you're too kind!"
Lü Ling'er, dressed in a pink long dress, played with a short dagger in her hand, sizing up Xiao Yu.
She seemed to be smiling, but it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Xiao Yu also observed her, noticing that this female cultivator resembled Huang Xiang.
With bright eyes and a charming smile, the girl was like a clear spring in the mountains, pure and lively.
Her hair was like silk, gently brushing her cheeks, exuding a playful and innocent charm.
Her posture was light, her steps like flowing clouds, and every turn seemed to scatter petals, refreshing the heart.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like an oriole emerging from the valley, making one want to listen.
She had the aura of a lively young girl, and the system hadn't made any judgments.
Could she be similar to Zhang Ziling?
Was it possible that the Sect of Harmonious Union had women with decent character?
How strange.
The righteous Bai Yue looked like a fairy, and if he hadn't heard from Hua Lian, he wouldn't have guessed that Bai Yue had killed thousands of mortals.
In this world, one couldn't judge people by their appearance.
Just as Xiao Yu was pondering this, a man and a woman entered the Hall of Sect Affairs.
Before the woman even stepped inside, she provocatively shouted, "Oh my~~~!"
"Isn't this Junior Sister Ling'er? You came from Demon Island too? How dare you come to the frontline at the early stage of Qi Refining? Aren't you just causing trouble for Master?"
The woman's tone was sarcastic, and Xiao Yu felt a prickly discomfort after hearing it.
He shivered all over.
At this moment, the man following the woman also chimed in, "Haha, I was wondering what Junior Sister Ling'er was doing here. Turns out she's looking for a man!"
"It's hilarious that she found someone at the first level of Qi Refining! Hahaha!!!"
The woman waved a fan, her smile like a flower, her eyes showing a hint of mockery, "I heard Master recently came to the branch hall to take a first-grade alchemist as her third disciple. I thought he must be quite capable, but it turns out he's just a waste who just stepped into the first level of Qi Refining!"
"Is Master unable to find anyone? Why is she accepting just anyone?"
Lü Ling'er's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Senior Sister Wang, don't be so harsh. Junior Brother Xiao is an alchemist! You know many alchemists don't have time to cultivate, so it's common for their cultivation to be low!"
"Master is urgently in need of help at the frontline, and instead of helping her, you're bullying the new junior brother?"
Suddenly!
The woman slapped Lü Ling'er across the face.
Lü Ling'er couldn't dodge in time and held her reddened cheek in a daze, "You..."
The woman, with a dissatisfied expression, waved her fan with one hand, "It's been a while since we last met, and this is how you speak to your senior sister? No manners at all! What a disgrace!!!"
Xiao Yu observed the woman's cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining, his expression somber.
The man behind her was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, clearly her lover.
As he pondered, the system prompt sounded again.
[Name] Wang Mei
[Age] 37
[Cultivation] Fourth level of Qi Refining
[Looks] 93 points, height 168 cm, weight 95 jin
[Aptitude] Dual Gold-Wood Spirit Root
[Personality] Vicious and jealous of all women more beautiful than herself, opportunistic.

Wang Mei
Xiao Yu was delighted to see this.
Time for action!
Looking at Wang Mei's coquettish demeanor, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
This woman was quite something, with a demeanor entirely different from the righteous Bai Yue and Hua Lian, clearly a venomous viper.
Her figure was voluptuous, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, moving like a willow swaying in the wind!
Her body was like a jade mountain, smooth and full of sensuality.
She exuded a wild charm.
And she practiced forbidden arts in secret? Even harming children, she was truly heartless.
As Xiao Yu watched, the man beside Wang Mei also looked at him.
Seeing Xiao Yu's stern face, he coldly shouted, "The disciples of this branch hall have no manners! Don't you know to greet me, Zhao Gang?"
"You over there, what's your name? I'm talking to you!!! What are you looking at?"
"Playing dead?"
Seeing this, Lü Ling'er quickly stepped in front of Xiao Yu and shouted, "Zhao Gang, watch your tone. This is my master's alchemist. What kind of attitude is that?"
Zhao Gang sneered, "Haha, so Junior Sister Lü found herself a wild man. You must be desperate! Even accepting someone at the first level of Qi Refining?"
Wang Mei glanced at the silent Xiao Yu and coldly shouted, "What? Do you think being an alchemist exempts you from greeting me? I'll count to three, and if you don't show respect, you won't leave here today!"
Xiao Yu chuckled coldly, seeing Zhang Ziling approaching in the distance, he had an idea.
He stumbled forward, falling in front of Wang Mei, and shouted, "Spare me, Senior Sister!!! I won't dare again! I was wrong... Junior Brother was wrong... Don't kill me..."
Everyone present was stunned.
Wang Mei looked at Xiao Yu, who was tugging at her dress, wondering what he was up to.
Lü Ling'er was taken aback, what just happened...
Xiao Yu suddenly shouted again, "It's all Junior Brother's fault. We in the branch hall don't usually greet senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation... Today I offended Senior Sister, I beg you not to kill me... I'm willing to hand over all my elixirs from the alchemy room to Senior Sister Wang Mei and Senior Brother Zhao Gang!!!"
Then he took out two bottles of elixirs.
Nearby disciples of the Sect of Harmonious Union all looked over.
A crowd began to discuss.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know... Seems like that first-grade alchemist didn't greet Wang Mei, and Wang Mei wants to kill him?"
"Is this new Wang Mei here to cause trouble? How dare she demand someone else's elixirs?"
The Hall of Sect Affairs grew more crowded.
Zhang Ziling watched from the back, her expression growing darker.
Zhao Gang, seeing so many people suddenly appear, felt awkward and hurriedly shouted at Xiao Yu, "You... what nonsense are you spouting? Who wants your elixirs..." This story is hosted at g.com.
Before he could finish, Xiao Yu howled again, "Ahhhh! Don't kill me, don't kill me!!!" (voice breaking)
"I really didn't see you and Senior Sister Wang kissing in the back... I won't dare again!"
Behind him, Lü Ling'er was laughing so hard she was out of breath, Xiao Yu was quite the actor.
People around began to discuss.
Looking at Xiao Yu crying on the ground, they all turned to the two of them.
Wang Mei, unable to contain her anger, looked at Xiao Yu acting on the ground and cursed, "Noisy!! Keep spouting nonsense, and I'll make you pay!!!"
"Disciple! Stop this insolence!!!"
Zhang Ziling couldn't stand it anymore. She had just arrived and needed to win people over.
Was Wang Mei causing trouble for her right away?
Wang Mei, seeing Zhang Ziling arrive, was furious, "Master, this scoundrel is slandering me. I never asked for his elixirs!"
Xiao Yu quickly shouted, "You're lying!!! Would you dare swear on your Dao Heart? You slapped Senior Sister Lü twice just because she didn't notice you coming, and you hit her!!! Look at Senior Sister Lü's face, did she hit herself?"
Everyone looked and saw a big red mark on Lü Ling'er's face.
Zhao Gang, eyes filled with malice, glared at the one who dared tarnish his reputation, swearing to make him pay!
Zhang Ziling also saw the slap mark on Lü Ling'er's face, and her eyebrows shot up, "Aren't you going to step back?"
Wang Mei looked at Zhang Ziling in disbelief, was her master siding with outsiders?
She was her first disciple!!!
Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly stepped in front of Lü Ling'er, "Zhao Gang, did you just say you wanted Senior Sister Lü to spend a night with you, were you serious? Are you bullying us because our branch hall has no one?"
Lü Ling'er burst out laughing.
Zhao Gang had seen people twist the truth, but never like this, "You're slandering me!!! How could I have any thoughts about Junior Sister Lü?"
Xiao Yu: "Oh? Then why did you just say Junior Sister Lü didn't greet you? Does that mean in our branch hall, anyone with lower cultivation must greet you or face punishment?"
"You said it yourself, that our branch hall has no manners? Would you dare swear on your Dao Heart?"
Zhao Gang certainly wouldn't swear on his Dao Heart, he did say that.
As Xiao Yu spoke, everyone below the fifth level of Qi Refining glared at Zhao Gang.
A few people in the distance were furious, cursing, "Screw you! Is being at the fifth level of Qi Refining so great?"
"You're just an inner disciple who got in through connections. If your father weren't an elder, would you be an inner disciple?"
"What a joke! What's wrong with our branch hall? Get lost!!!"
"Many of our brothers here don't have elixirs, who do you think you are? Demanding like that?"
Zhao Gang wanted to say something, but Zhang Ziling was already furious.
Her divine sense spread out, and Wang Mei and Zhao Gang felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, not daring to speak.
Zhang Ziling was already worried about the unfavorable situation at the frontline, and now this.
She coldly shouted, "If I see anyone bullying their fellow disciples again, I won't spare them! What kind of conduct is this? You two, copy the Sect Rules ten times!"
Wang Mei didn't dare argue, she could only accept her bad luck.
Looking at the gloating Xiao Yu, she memorized his face.
Xiao Yu also memorized Wang Mei's face.
The Judgment Chamber would soon have a new member, daring to provoke him?
He only feared she wouldn't come looking for trouble.
Zhang Ziling sighed, waving her hand impatiently, "Everyone else, leave. Xiao Yu, come with me!"
