I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 110 - 93: A Band of Thieves (3)

Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes eagerly watching Jiang Yuebai.

Zu Kuan stroked his beard and chimed in, "That’s right, Jiang. Back in Tao Fengnian’s time, he and I often helped each other. He was a man of stature, and you, as his apprentice, must be no different."

"Moreover, as an Inner Sect Disciple, you have benefited from the sect’s grace. Sharing this technique with everyone to improve cultivation efficiency would be a blessing to the sect. When the Sect Master knows, he will surely give you credit."

All eyes were on Jiang Yuebai, waiting for her to express her stance. Guo Zhen and the others nervously watched Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai lowered her arms, "You’ve laid so much groundwork just to make me hand over the method of making Spiritual Farming Puppets? Brother Xiao, you’ve worked hard."

Xiao Ankuo laughed indifferently, "What are you saying, Junior Sister Jiang? A Spiritual Cultivation Master is a leader of Spiritual Cultivators and must naturally consider everything for the group. You’re young and don’t understand; you should follow the seniors and learn well. One should not be too selfish. Your contribution to everyone would make Elder Tao proud."

"Besides, what kind of person are you? With your Five-Layer Spiritual Cultivation Magical Technique, even without these planting puppets, cultivation wouldn’t be difficult for you. I’ve heard that during your assessment, your Five-Layer Cloud Rain Technique directly covered the entire Ten Thousand Laws Hall sky, so you don’t need these puppets to command the clouds and rain, do you?"

"Exactly, she can easily cultivate without puppets, and even if she doesn’t, the sect still supports her. But these puppets are very useful for us Spiritual Cultivators. If she refuses to share, she’d be too selfish."

"I don’t think she’ll teach it. Some people are like that. Even if their bowls are overflowing, they won’t spare a grain of rice for someone starving, just watching others starve makes them happy."

"That’s right, do you see any Inner Sect Disciples caring about the life and death of us servants?"

"No way, even if this matter has to reach the Sect Master, we have to demand justice for us servants today."

Hearing the crowd gradually get more agitated, Xiao Ankuo was smug, while Zu Kuan and the other Spiritual Cultivation Masters remained silent, calmly observing the situation unfold.

Guo Zhen was sweating with anxiety, knowing these people were bullying Jiang Yuebai because of her youth, making her lose her sense of proportion. He regretted not stopping Jiang Yuebai earlier.

Facing the gradually spiraling situation, Jiang Yuebai remained calm and even laughed.

"Why should I hand over my things to you? Just because you’re all useless?"

Does weakness make right? Seeing the scene in front of her, Jiang Yuebai was reminded of an incident Lu Nanzhi once wrote about in a letter when servant disciples and Outer Sect Disciples fought, and it was the servant disciple’s fault.

The servant disciple was expelled from the sect, yet everyone only focused on the issue of status. It was because the Outer Sect Disciple had a higher status that the sect gave only a lenient punishment.

After Jiang Yuebai’s words, Zu Kuan got anxious, angrily saying, "Little girl, back then Tao Fengnian had to call me elder brother. When he first took charge of Huaxi Valley, without my and other Spiritual Cultivation Masters’ help, he couldn’t have kept his Spiritual Cultivation Master Token!"

"You’re his apprentice. I heard he treated you like a granddaughter. If he knew the person he taught so meticulously was so selfish and ungrateful, how could he rest in peace below?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Yuebai suddenly burst into anger, with an imposing aura.

Zu Kuan was so intimidated he stepped back half a step.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes were cold and sharp, "A bunch of robbers comes to my house to rob and dare mention my grandfather? Know gratitude and repay kindness? You trash aren’t worthy!"

"You! This is too much!" Zu Kuan’s chest heaved, and other Spiritual Cultivation Masters glared angrily.

Xiao Ankuo said, "Junior Sister Jiang, you’ve crossed the line. Elder Zu is still a senior, are you thinking of making a move?"

"Can Inner Sect Disciples just bully us servants as they please?"

"Without us Spiritual Cultivators, they wouldn’t even have spiritual grain to eat."

"That’s right, we servants handle their daily chores. Without us, how could they cultivate with peace of mind?"

In the crowd, the servant disciples arranged by Xiao Ankuo fanned the flames, the disparity brought by status and position had already filled these servants with resentment, now unleashed, they all vented their hatred and anger on Jiang Yuebai.

With the saying that the law doesn’t punish the multitude, when people gather, even an Inner Sect Disciple must be wary.

Xiao Ankuo raised an eyebrow. He didn’t care whether he could obtain any Puppet Diagram. He just wanted chaos, to make her retreat from cultivation, merely completing Jia Xiuchun’s orders.

Xiao Ankuo leaned closer, whispering to Jiang Yuebai, "Junior Sister Jiang, the wise adapt to circumstances. Even if you remain an Inner Sect Disciple without farming, offending so many people will only bring endless troubles in the future. You don’t want this to get out of hand."

Jiang Yuebai glanced slightly towards the sky, smiling softly, "The one who won’t wrap things up today is you."

"Huaxi Valley sure is lively!"

A powerful female voice erupted like thunder from the horizon, startling Xiao Ankuo into a loss of color and turning in fear.

Just then, a middle-aged female cultivator arrived on a sword, humbly dressed and unremarkable in appearance, yet radiating an intoxicating, powerful aura, commanding respect without anger.

The female cultivator landed alongside Hong Tao, and everyone retreated fearfully, bowing deeply.

"Greetings, Elder Gongsun!"

The newcomer was none other than the Grand Elder of the lnner Affairs Hall, a Late-Stage Golden Core, Gongsun Zhu.
