My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Yi Qing nodded, as he walked forward rapidly.

Before the two came near, a small body suddenly flew out from the crowd, and dropped in front of the two with a bang.

Lou Tao was stunned, and his eyes widened instantly. “Young Junior Brother!” They apparently knew each other. He hurried to help the boy up.

“It’s young Uncle-Master Lou Tao!” Somebody cried, and the crowd started rushing towards them.

Lou Tao held the person who had already fainted, and his fat face swelled even more with anger. “Who was it who hurt young Junior Brother?”

“It was me!” Before the crowd could answer, a male voice sounded from the other side, and the crowd made way for a thin child dressed in green, who walked over with his eyes full of disdain. He snorted and said, “Because he had his nose in the air!”

“Who are you?” Lou Tao’s little fat face squeezed.

“I am…”

Before the person answered, Yi Qing burst out, “Dog!”

He was actually that same parentless child back in the small village.

Only now did the youth in green see Yi Qing at the side. “Wild kid, you are actually still alive!” The child was shocked, and as if remembering something, he glanced at Lou Tao beside him, his eyes full of disdain. “I didn’t imagine that you actually joined Honesty Sect, and… I’m called Jing Qi, and I’m a disciple of Green Robes Sect. You had better remember that.”

“Oh,” Yi Qing looked like he didn’t care about it at all, as he added, “I’m called Yi Qing!”

Some anger somehow appeared on Jing Qi’s expression.

Lou Tao fed the disciple in his arms an elixir, before he stared up at Jing QI and said, “Why did you hurt my younger Junior Brother?”

“He stopped us from entering Disciples’ Hall first,” Jing Qi said angrily, “His abilities were inferior, and we can’t be blamed for that!”

“Nonsense!” Once he finished, another disciple at the side argued, “Apparently Senior Brother only stopped you here because your people had stole spirit herbs of our sect. You thieves!”

“Who stole your spirit herbs? Do not make slanderous charges!” Jing Qi said angrily.

“And you say you didn’t,” That disciple pointed to a little girl behind him, “those that she wears on her head are ours!”

Everyone turned to look at the little girl behind Jing Qi, and she was indeed wearing a garland on her head, and its colorful flowers had faint Spirit Qi on it.

“Those are the spirit herbs that sect master told us to plant, and young Senior Brother had led us to take care of them for more than a month. But once they came, they plucked all of them!”

Once this was said, everyone turned to look at that little girl. Everyone was of a young age, and anger came faster and directly. Even among the disciples of Green Robes Sect, many wore a darkened expression.

The girl was so scared that she stepped back and hid behind Jing Qi. Her eyes reddened immediately, as she grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said with an anxious, crying voice, “I… I didn’t know. I only thought those flowers looked nice, Big Brother Jing Qi..”

Jing Qi immediately changed into a distressed expression. While he was a kid himself, he actually turned to hug the little girl who was even taller than him in his arms and started to comfort her. The scene looked indeed queer. “Little Junior Sister, don’t cry, I will be hurt!” With that said, he turned and stared at the other children, “Isn’t it just some worthless grass? And you actually bully people like this for its sake!”

After understanding the whole matter, Lou Tao was very angry: they stole the spirit herbs first, and then injured people, and they could actually speak as if they were on the right side. “Stealing spirit herbs of a sect is a serious offense. Since she stole it, she should be punished.”

The little girl cried even more sadly.

“Are you deaf?” Jing Qi stared at him. “My little Junior Sister had said that she did not do it on purpose. She didn’t even know that those are spirit herbs. It is said that no blame attaches to the unconscious wrongdoer. She can’t be blamed for this matter. In any case, I can return them to you in the future.”

“Regardless of whether she knew about it, the spirit herbs are with her right now,” Lou Tao said seriously, “so she should be punished, and so should you, because you injured my Junior Brother just now.”

“You…” Jing Qi grew even angrier, as if he was immensely wronged, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned to Yi Qing at the side, “Wild kid, do you think so too?”

“What?” Yi Qing stunned, a hint of confusion showed on his face. He was just thinking about the tenth dish to cook for Master tonight.

“My Junior Sister is still a child, are all of you really going to be so aggressive?”

He talked as if others were not children.

Yi Qing took a look at the frightened little girl behind him, just remembering what he was asking about. His little face darkened slightly, and after a long while he said, “Wrong is wrong.”

“You…” Jing Qi’s face was full of disbelief, as if he had been betrayed. “You are such an ungrateful person too! Did you know that Junior Sister is the daughter of sect master of Green Robes Sect!”

Yi Qing stunned, and his expression didn’t change at all. “So?” Is that related to the matter on hand?

“Without the protection of Green Robes Sect, the people in our village would all be devoured by demons. I didn’t imagine that once you’ve joined Honesty Sect, you are helping others to deal with the daughter of a benefactor,” He said with a look of righteousness, “You are so cold-blooded.”

Yi Qing frowned. The villagers were apparently saved by Master and Supremacy Lonemoon, what’s that got to do with Green Robes Sect?

“Stop talking nonsense.” Lou Tao couldn’t listen to it any more. He looked at the disciples around him and said directly, “Catch these two thieves who stole the spiritual herbs and hurt people.”

The disciples surrounded them immediately.

Jing Qi kept the little girl behind him, as he drew his sword and looked at the crowd fiercely. Yet the other disciples of Green Robes Sect who followed him at first looked at one another and hesitated.

“Hmph, you are only taking advantage of your numbers.” Jing Qi sneered, and something flashed in his eyes. He looked at the children, still arrogantly, “I didn’t imagine that Honesty Sect was actually just a crowd of shameless cowards who wants to bully those who they can’t beat with large numbers.”

“How dare you say we can’t beat you,” Lou Tao stared at him angrily.

“Didn’t that Junior Brother of yours get defeated by me just now? And you are actually sword cultivators. So easily beaten.”

“I will not permit you to speak ill of Honesty Sect!” Lou Tao was anxious, and pointed at him in anger, “My Junior Brother had joined the sect recently, and was only at the second level of Qi Refinement. You are at the third level, of course he can’t defeat you. Fight with me if you dare!”

“Okay, we will fight!” A hint of joy flashed in Jing Qi’s eyes. “If you lose, you’ve got to let us inside Disciple’s Hall, and apologize to my little Junior Sister!”

“Okay!” Lou Tao nodded. “If you lose, you’ve got to apologize to my Junior Brother too.”

“Alright!”

Yi Qing frowned. He felt as if the other party said it on purpose, and he was about to speak.

Yet Lou Tao had already taken out his spirit sword, not imagining he would lose at all. In any case, he was already at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, and it was not possible for him to be defeated by someone at the third level of Qi Refinement.

Seeing that the two had gotten ready, the disciples had retreated the side, and so did Yi Qing.
