Phoenix Power: The True Colors of the Empress

Luo Yue was a heartless and straightforward person. She only cared about her own happiness and didn’t care about anyone else, so if she was unhappy about something, she would say it out loud.

This time, it was because of Wu’er that she had been depressed for a long time. Xiao Lian had seen through her and seized the opportunity to speak to her about it.

With Xiao Lian fanning the flames, Luo Yue’s disgust for Wu’er intensified.

“Wu’er is just a wild girl with no upbringing. She has been in the Lishan Sword Sect for so long, she should know at least a few of the sect’s rules by now. But she still does as she pleases. If this situation were to spread, it would definitely damage our sect’s image. What do you think?”

Xiao Lian’s eyes revealed an incomparably crafty expression, a sly smile on her face.

She thought to herself, now that I’ve said this much, even if Luo Yue doesn’t understand, she should get my meaning!

“You mean to say that you want me, as the daughter of the Sect Master and her Senior Sister, to find fault with her words and actions and teach her a lesson?”

When Luo Yue heard Xiao Lian’s words, her eyes couldn’t help but flash with a glimmer of light. She felt that the problem that had troubled her for so long finally had a solution.

She could already envision Wu’er kneeling and begging for forgiveness, and she couldn’t help but reveal a proud smile.

“Young Miss is right. A Senior Sister teaching a Junior Sister is natural. Moreover, she doesn’t know the sect’s rules. If word of her lack of upbringing were to spread, it would disgrace our Lishan Sword Sect. How could we let such a thing happen? So, we still need Young Miss to handle this matter!”

Xiao Lian saw that Luo Yue was very tempted by her scheme and immediately added fuel to the fire, suggesting that Luo Yue could move against Wu’er as soon as possible.

This way, Xiao Lian could see Wu’er being tormented without lifting a finger. Although Luo Yue might face punishment from the Sect Master afterward, what did it matter?

After such an incident, Xiao Heng would likely distance himself from Wu’er, and she wouldn’t be by Xiao Heng’s side all day. Even if Xiao Heng and Luo Yue ended up together, Xiao Lian would still be able to see Xiao Heng’s face and hear his laughter every day. That was enough for her.

“Since that’s the case, let’s begin. Bring some people and fetch her. I want to properly teach her the rules of our Lishan Sword Sect and show her who truly holds power here.”

Luo Yue had made up her mind. There was no time like the present. She had nothing planned for the day, and with a foolproof scheme in mind, it was best to act quickly to avoid any complications.

“Okay, Miss, I’ll go now and bring that unruly girl to you.”

Seeing Luo Yue’s resolve, Xiao Lian smiled. She couldn’t wait to bring Wu’er over.

To avoid any complications, Xiao Lian had already arranged for Xiao Heng to be sent away on a pretext. With Xiao Heng gone, Wu’er was left alone.

Unaware of the impending situation, Wu’er remained focused on her cultivation, indifferent to the outside world.

Wu’er had just broken through to a new stage of cultivation, and everything was progressing smoothly. Her pure heart and lack of distractions allowed her to advance rapidly.

Wu’er was currently very happy because she could clearly sense that her body had undergone some changes. This subtle shift made her feel elated.

Just as Wu’er was about to practice the cultivation technique that Xiao Heng had just taught her, she saw Xiao Lian leading a few maidservants toward her in an aggressive manner.

It seemed like they didn’t come with good intentions!

Wu’er knew that Xiao Lian and the others had ill intentions, but she was alone, so she didn’t plan to pay them any attention. She was only cultivating, so Xiao Lian and the others shouldn’t do anything to her.

“Hey, stop. My family’s young miss is looking for you. Come with us!”

Xiao Lian and the other girls surrounded Wu’er. Their expressions were hostile, and Xiao Lian spoke to Wu’er in an aggressive tone.

“I want to cultivate. I don’t have time!” Wu’er responded coldly to Xiao Lian. There was no room for negotiation in her tone. She didn’t even give Luo Yue face.

Wu’er knew they meant trouble, but even if she wanted to escape, she didn’t expect them to come knocking on her door.

But even so, Wu’er wasn’t afraid because she knew she hadn’t done anything wrong. No matter how aggressive they were, it was useless.

“That’s not up to you. My Miss said she wants to see you. Shouldn’t you go over immediately? Do you want my Miss to come and find you personally? Don’t be so shameless. Hurry up and come with us!”

It was the first time Xiao Lian had been rejected so mercilessly, especially in front of so many girls. She couldn’t save face, so she was determined to take Wu’er away today.

“You, what do you want to do!” Wu’er angrily stared at them, her tone cold, sharp, and tinged with fear.

She knew nothing good would come from this, so she instinctively took precautions.

“What kind of person do you think my Miss is? Why are you reacting this way? If others see this, they’ll think we’re bullying you. Behave yourself and come with us. Otherwise, we won’t be able to live with ourselves.”

Xiao Lian saw Wu’er raise her sword, her expression full of vigilance, and panicked.

She only hoped Wu’er would obey and come with them. She never anticipated that Wu’er might actually attack.

“If you have something to say, say it here. I’ve never interacted with you, so there’s nothing to discuss!”

Wu’er could already utter some basic words. To avoid being taken away by Xiao Lian and the others, she needed to wait for Xiao Heng to return and explain things. She wanted to stall for time.

Wu’er didn’t like Xiao Heng. Although Xiao Heng appeared gentle to her, Wu’er knew his heart was not pure. However, he was the only one who could prevent her from being taken to Luo Yue.

“How can you say that? We’re brothers and sisters of the same sect. It’s normal for us to get to know each other. If you continue to refuse and this matter gets out, it won’t reflect well on our Lishan Sword Sect!”

Xiao Lian could see Wu’er’s intentions, so she spoke tactfully. Today, she had to bring Wu’er to Luo Yue, no matter what it took.

“I said I won’t go!” Wu’er declared, lifting her sword with a resolute clarity. Her eyes had taken on the ferocity of a cornered wolf.

In this moment, Wu’er resembled a wolf driven to desperation. She let out a fierce cry, her gaze razor-sharp. She had become intensely fierce.
