Primordial Cultivator

Upon hearing Yang Wei's question, everyone else including Elder Jing raised their eyebrows in surprise.

"What are you talking about Yang Wei?" Lian Xinyue walked forward and looked at him in confusion, almost like she was checking if he had a brain freeze or headache.

Yang Wei smiled bitterly as it seemed like he was the only one that received the notice from the mysterious shadow because none of them had any idea on his question.

"A-Anyway, we should start packing things up as we head toward the meeting place." Elder Jing said to break the awkward atmosphere.

'M-Meeting place?' Once again, Yang Wei was dumbstruck by another information from Elder Jing and Lian Xinyue had to be the informer again.

"The meeting place is where all the sect has to stop fighting as we wait for the pagoda to open because we need a certain number of people in order to enter inside. Therefore, the sect will stop killing in case the quota did not meet up with the requirement which will be a disastrous thing for us." Lian Xinyue whispered softly to Yang Wei.

Yang Wei nodded his head as they started heading to the meeting place with Elder Jing in the lead.

Meanwhile, Elder Pao Huang was keeping his presence at the minimum as he didn't want to embarrass himself further after the terrible morning wake-up call by Yang Wei.

The journey was smooth since all magical beasts had basically scattered away from the area due to the previous fighting that chased them off.

Not to mention, with Elder Jing and Elder Pao Huang's cultivation, it'll be ridiculous if the magical beasts dared to even show themselves.

"How many sects do you think are still present?" Lian Xinyue was bored so she decided to strike up a conversation with Yang Wei.

However, Yang Wei was quiet the entire time, seemingly in deep thought regarding the mysterious shadow's word and warning.

The warning about being careful to those close to him and so far, Yang Wei can only assume two people, Lian Xinyue and Elder Jing but he always finds it hard to believe they would betray him.

'Why would Elder Jing betray me when her cultivation is so much higher than mine? Lian Xinyue is another questionable person since she was mischievous but held no malicious intent in taking my life.' Yang Wei pondered inwardly, ignoring Lian Xinyue completely.

Lian Xinyue was irritated that she, a young beautiful lady that was willing to strike up a conversation with him, was ignored.

With a humph, Lian Xinyue smacked Yang Wei's head lightly, causing him to stumble forward slightly as he wasn't expecting a sneak attack.

Yang Wei took a moment to balance himself and glared at Lian Xinyue.

"Why are you hitting me so suddenly?" Yang Wei asked with an annoyed expression.

He didn't even offend her so why would she smack his head. Unless this was the warning that the mysterious shadow meant, that he can always be betrayed by others whether it's reasonable or not.

Lian Xinyue gritted her teeth in anger when Yang Wei still didn't know his mistake.

"I was trying to chat with you and asked you a trivia question but you don't even acknowledge my presence." Lian Xinyue scoffed in a pouting tone.

Yang Wei was rendered speechless by these beautiful women's eccentric behavior and attitude.

Sure, they are like heavenly beauties with their skin soft and silky and dazzling legs that are sparkly like jewels but who decided that every male must worship them.

Lian Xinyue started to have teary eyes when Yang Wei had no intention of admitting his mistake, which caused every other male disciple to glare fiercely at Yang Wei.

Even Elder Jing had to stop and turn around to see what happened because of the commotion in the back.

"Why are you all teary, Lian Xinyue?" Elder Jing asked softly as she glared at the rest of the male disciples, thinking that it was them that bullied her.

However, the male disciples all shook their heads in unison and pointed their fingers at Yang Wei.

"It was him that made Junior-apprentice sister Lian Xinyue all teary up."

"Yes, Lian Xinyue was kind enough to educate this country bumpkin but he refused to be polite and ignored her."

Yang Wei was dumbfounded to be charged guilty instantly by the other disciples.

All he did was not replying to Lian Xinyue yet it became a huge commotion where he became a culprit that would make women cry.

'T-This is the so-called femme fatale and I happened to step into this trap.' Yang Wei cried inwardly as he is now being isolated by everyone.

"Yang Wei… Lian Xinyue is a girl so as a man, you should just apologize and stop her from tearing up. If the other sect were to see Lian Xinyue all teary, they might think that our sect is a bully that wouldn't spare a little girl." Elder Jing said softly.

The other male disciples cheered loudly that Elder Jing lived up to her reputation as unbiased since she didn't even give Yang Wei any face despite their ambiguous relationship.

"Haha, I told you that Elder Jing is impartial and just." A disciple shouted in excitement.

"You're right and this Yang Wei is dumb enough to make our sect beauty cry. If the other disciples back in the sect were to hear this news then I can guarantee Yang Wei's courtyard will be full of people, waiting to beat him up in a duel." Another disciple added.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue rubbed her eyes slowly and stuck her tongue out on Yang Wei secretly.

"Sniff, Yang Wei, it's fine i-if you don't want to apologize. It's all my fault being nosy and trying to interact with you." Lian Xinyue said pitifully, earning more sympathy from the rest.

From the side, Elder Jing knew it was Lian Xinyue toying with Yang Wei but she had no intention to help Yang Wei out in this one. After all, she doesn't want to let others know that she does favoritism.

Thus, Yan Wei can only give up this time as he reluctantly apologized to Lian Xinyue since the rest of the disciples and even Elder Pao Huang held an eager expression to thrash him.
