Chapter 17: Rage against the elders
Xiao Liyue raised her head and looked at the person who pushed her away. She saw that the young boy was wearing a thin white robe. Although he looked ordinary, he exuded an indescribable nobility.
His smooth and white face, deep black eyes with charming color, thick eyebrows, high bridge of nose, and handsome appearance made Xiao Liyue's eyes immediately brighten.
Although he looks young, his eyes reveal maturity and wisdom.
Xiao Liyue smiled sheepishly and said, "I drank too much today and I'm a little unsteady on my feet. I'm really embarrassed to bump into you."
After hearing her voice, the young man stiffened immediately and raised his head to glance at her.
After seeing half of her face, he stared blankly for a long time, but suddenly his face became cold and he left without saying a word.
Xiao Liyue looked at the young boy leaving with a confused look, then reached out and touched half of her face. "Is my face scary? Why do I feel like he dislikes me?"
After waking up, Chiyi flew out of the space and watched his master touching his face, muttering to himself: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Ah! It's okay, just keep sleeping!"
She didn't want Chi Yi to know about her embarrassment, so she dismissed it casually. The innocent Chi Yi didn't think much, flew into her arms for a hug, and then continued to sleep.
Xiao Liyue, who returned to her palace, lay on the bed with Chi Yi in her arms and fell asleep. After all, she and the second elder drank so much spiritual wine.
Early the next morning, Xiao Liyue was awakened by knocks on the door: "Ninth Elder, are you up?"
Xiao Liyue stood up and rubbed her temples: "You're up, are you okay?"
When the female disciple outside the door heard that she had woken up, she said excitedly: "Ninth Elder, you are finally awake! The Great Elder asked me to call you to the Xuanling Temple to participate in the annual inner disciple selection meeting."
"Okay... I understand, please step back first!"
"Yes, Ninth Elder." The woman responded in a low voice, and then silently withdrew.
Xiao Liyue looked at Chiyi sleeping on her pillow. After washing, she changed her clothes, braided her hair casually, and went out with Chiyi in her arms.
The inner disciples who met her along the way all called her "Ninth Elder hello", making Xiao Liyue feel very majestic.
When she arrived in front of the Xuanling Temple, the guards outside the temple immediately shouted into the hall: "The Ninth Elder is here!"
Xiao Liyue walked towards the main hall with brisk steps, and the inner disciples here looked at her one after another.
When they saw the legendary new Ninth Elder so young and beautiful, the disciples present were stunned.
Liu Ruxi, who was sitting in the main hall, saw that as soon as she came in, she attracted the attention of countless people, and felt very uncomfortable. She was obviously the one who was admired by everyone just now, but when she came, she stole her limelight.
Mo Jingxuan looked at Xiao Liyue in confusion. He found that he could not understand her more and more recently. Xiao Liyue now exuded a confident and dazzling light, which actually made him feel like he was unreachable.
Xiao Liyue ignored their strange looks and sat down in her seat leisurely.
Liu Ruxi on the side saw that Mo Jingxuan's eyes were still on her, and looked at Xiao Liyue with an unhappy expression: "Junior sister, today is the annual teacher selection day for the inner disciples of the sect, how can you still do it?" Are you late? You are so willful. If you were like this before, it would not matter, but now you are the ninth elder of the sect, and you represent our entire sect!"
Xiao Liyue yawned and said casually: "Oh! Senior sister, you are as talkative as Mrs. Wang from the kitchen. You are so long-winded. I thought you were [-] years old! Besides, the elder didn't say anything to me, what? It's your turn, the eighth elder, to teach me how to do things." "Pfft..." Chu Mingyou, who was standing next to the second elder, couldn't help laughing.
The second elder glared at him, and Chu Mingyou quickly smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I couldn't help it."
His laughter attracted Xiao Liyue. She turned to look at Chu Mingyou next to the second elder. She saw that his skin was very fair and she looked like a woman. His handsome facial features looked particularly distinct, especially his eyes. The lips were as red as rouge.
However, although he looks very much like a woman, he does not have the squeamishness of a woman at all, especially those deep eyes that seem to attract people's hearts.
After reading it, Xiao Liyue couldn't help but sigh that her future apprentice Yu Fengchen's friends were all handsome young men.
When Chu Mingyou saw Xiao Liyue sizing him up, he couldn't help sizing her up. When he saw half of her face, he also showed surprise. This was the first time he had seen her face, and he didn't expect it to be so touching.
Chu Mingyou put on his signature smile and suddenly raised his eyebrows at Xiao Liyue.
Xiao Liyue was amused by him. She was a little kid, but she even raised her eyebrows at herself.
Liu Ruxi saw Xiao Liyue and Chu Mingyou frowning, and looked at Mo Jingxuan and the First Elder aggrievedly: "I... I'm just saying that after all, today is a big event. As the youngest junior sister, I shouldn't let everyone The elder is waiting for her.”
Mo Jingxuan quickly held her hand and said comfortingly: "Xi'er, don't pay attention to what she said, it's just that she doesn't like to hear it."
The third elder also looked displeased when he saw this: "I think the eighth elder is right. The ninth elder has made us old guys wait for so long. It is indeed a bit outrageous. And the ninth elder, why did you say so unpleasant things just now? ?”
Before Xiao Liyue could speak, the fifth elder on the side was equally dissatisfied and said: "The ninth elder should really learn more from the eighth elder. It's just a girl's family. It doesn't matter if she sits or not. Why is she so vicious in her mouth?"
"Hey... I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for her to be the ninth elder. It doesn't matter if she's not good at cultivation. She doesn't respect people." The fourth elder shook his head helplessly.
The Sixth Elder sneered: "Haha... I guess he became arrogant and complacent after becoming the Ninth Elder, so how can he listen to what we old men have to say!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Liyue was immediately pushed to the forefront.
Xiao Liyue didn't care at all and said coldly: "Haha... Why didn't I notice that you guys talked so much when my father was here?"
As soon as these words came out, several elders became angry. Just as they were about to refute, they were stopped by the great elder.
"Yue Yatou is still young! Why are you arguing with her? Yesterday she drank too much spirit wine and it is normal for her to oversleep. Why do you have to worry about a child? And Yue Yatou, please stop saying a few words."
Xiao Liyue waved her hands indifferently, indicating that she didn't care.
"I can't stand it anymore, old man. I said you are all hundreds of years old. What's the point of bullying a 16-year-old? Besides, Yue Yatou was drinking with me yesterday. Are you trying to insinuate me? ? Besides, hasn't the conference started yet? Why are you so aggressive?" the second elder said angrily.
Seeing this, the other elders had no choice but to shut up and stop talking. After all, the first elder and the second elder had already spoken, and it would seem that they were out of order if they cared about it anymore.
Xiao Liyue smiled and raised her thumb to the second elder, who nodded proudly.
When Liu Ruxi saw that Xiao Liyue had not been punished and was being protected by the first elder and the second elder, she felt an even greater hatred towards her.
