Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 496: Chapter 17: The Girl of Destiny! The Rivalry of Two Spirits_3

Miss Nine clearly had set her heart on a real favorite, which was that “ordinary-looking” girl.

The only thing that slightly comforted Senior Sister Yu Yun and Senior Brother Zhenghua was that it seemed that they were not the ones who suffered the most severe losses. They cast a slightly sympathetic look at the side towards Senior Brother Le Xian, whose face had already turned purplish-black.

Half of the treasures in Miss Nine’s Storage Pearl probably came from Senior Brother Le Xian. It seemed that he had secretly interacted with Miss Nine often and gave out all his family’s assets to please Miss Nine.

Happiness and pain were all relative. Though Yu Yun and Zhenghua were extraordinarily distressed, they felt much better when they looked at Senior Brother Le Xian. Instead, schadenfreude feeling took over.

“Miss Nine!” Senior Brother Le Xian couldn’t stand it anymore, stepped forward and suppressed his anger, “Miss Nine, you are still too young. Don’t be fooled by others.”

This feeling was like he had been always buying things to please his goddess, but she would turn around and use all those things to please other people.

Even though he was so angry inside that he wanted to strangle Miss Nine, he didn’t dare to lose his temper at her.

Everyone knew that Miss Nine was deeply loved by the Old Turtle Ancestor at level seven. Even his master would greet Miss Nine in a friendly way.

Then, Senior Brother Le Xian stared deadly at Wang Liyao, “Who are you, girl? I have never seen you on Sky Lake Island before. Do you understand what you are doing?”

“Wu wu a a~” Miss Nine, the Primordial Spirit Tortoise, turned around, projected her head arrogantly at Senior Brother Le Xian, and scolded him loudly. The meaning was clear without translation: Who do you think you are to question my owner?

Just as Wang Liyao was about to speak, someone in the onlooking crowd burst out, “Senior Brother Le Xian, she doesn’t seem to be from our Primordial Water sect. Lu Xianghui brought her here.”@@novelbin@@

Not from our Primordial Water sect? Senior Brother Le Xian was taken aback. Then he turned to Lu Xianghui, “Lu Xianghui, who is this woman? Why did you bring her to our Primordial Water Heavenly Lake?”

The aura of a Core Senior Brother pressed down on Lu Xianghui, making it hard for him to catch his breath. He was caught off guard by the sudden twist and turn of the situation.

Despite this, he still withstood the pressure from Senior Brother Le Xian, assertively replied, “Disciple Liyao came to participate in the Academic Palace recruitment this year. She possesses a pass that allows her unrestricted access in non-forbidden areas. I beg for your understanding, Senior Brother Le Xian.”

“Humph! A pass? Normally, that would be fine.” Senior Brother Le Xian reprimanded, “But have you forgotten the time? Senior Brother Yu Hang just had an accident, and both Master and the others are holding a meeting. It’s the most critical time for our Primordial Water sect! How dare you casually bring outsiders here?”

“Senior Brother Le Xian, I…” Lu Xianghui, beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead, was about to argue just as…

Senior Brother Le Xian waved his hand to cut him off, “Lu Xianghui, there is no need for you to defend yourself. As your senior brother, I have the right to discipline you. After this, go to the Law Enforcement Hall and take your punishment. As for you, a girl who didn’t even pass the Academic Palace’s second-round examination, you are not considered a part of the Academic Palace. What right do you have to vie for the Spirit Tortoise contract? I will give you half an hour to leave Sky Lake Island, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

If he hadn’t seen her Spiritual Beast Bag and her Spirit Beast, which suggested that she was not from an ordinary prominent family, he probably wouldn’t just be trying to get rid of her, but rather would have directly attacked her instead.

Lu Xianghui’s face turned extremely ugly. Despite feeling wronged, he dared not oppose the Core Disciple. He quickly bowed his head and said, “Yes, Senior Brother Le Xian.”

“Wait!”

Wang Liyao’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “I indeed am not an official disciple of the Academic Palace yet. If you, as a Core Disciple of the Primordial Water lineage, wish to expel me, I accept. But Brother Lu, from beginning to end, has acted according to the rules of the Academic Palace. What wrong has he done? On what basis are you punishing him?”

Senior Brother Le Xian was taken aback. He laughed in anger with his hands behind his back, “Girl, I’ve already let you off lightly for intruding into the Primordial Water Heavenly Lake without permission. As a Core Senior Brother, do I need you to teach me how to punish my misbehaving junior brothers?”

A massive aura of dominance emanated from him. It seemed that Wang Liyao’s words had thoroughly angered him.

“Senior Brother Le Xian, please calm down. This is all my fault and has nothing to do with Sister Liyao.” Lu Xianhui quickly stepped forward to shield Wang Liyao, bowing his head and pleading, “Sister Liyao has not officially joined the Academic Palace yet, please, senior brother, do not take it personally.”

While speaking, he stealthily winked at Wang Liyao, signaling her to leave quickly.

If Lu Xianghui had not stepped forward, everything would have been fine. Now that he did, it only incensed Senior Brother Le Xian further. Had it not been for this kid bringing outsiders onto the island, how could such a disturbance have unfolded today? Perhaps, by now, Miss Nine would already have signed a Spirit Contract with him.

He laughed out of anger, “Good, good, good. It seems my authority as a Core Senior Brother no longer holds any value. Lu Xianghui, not only did you err, but you also repeatedly provoked and offended me. Today, if I don’t teach you a lesson, I fear everyone will walk all over me in the future.”

Senior Brother Le Xian clenched his fingers, thick Primordial Water energy spreading around him.

“Le Xian, this goes too far.” Senior Brother Zhenghua frowned and tried to stop him, “Junior Brother Xianghui simply made an unintentional mistake. As his Senior Brother, you don’t need to be so petty, do you?”
