Once Scorned for My Mixed Spiritual Roots, Now They Weep at My Power! - Chapter 30 - The Mighty Fatty

Xiao Yun ignored the short and fat senior brother’s attempts to stop him and walked straight towards Wen Qing.

His bold move left the short and fat senior brother in a panic. He wanted to step in and block Xiao Yun, but feared disturbing Wen Qing.

While he was caught in indecision, he noticed that the young disciple had already started talking to Junior Sister Wen Qing.

“How does this kid have the guts to talk to Junior Sister Wen Qing? How dare he!”

“Junior Sister Wen Qing is awake!”

“Ah, she’s smiling! So beautiful, it’s infuriating! If only I had gone over to greet Junior Sister Wen Qing first!”

As the short and fat senior brother was filled with regret, he suddenly noticed that Wen Qing and Xiao Yun were looking his way.

His heart raced, his mouth went dry, and his mind went blank.

Xiao Yun said to Wen Qing, “Senior Sister, do you know that short and fat senior brother?”

Wen Qing turned her head, slightly surprised, and quickly nodded, “Of course, I know him. He’s Senior Brother Zhong from Lieyang Peak, the chief senior disciple of Lieyang Peak and one of the Four Great Disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.”

“Him?” Xiao Yun looked skeptically at the distant, awkwardly plump man. He seemed like a creep!

How could someone like him become the chief senior disciple of Lieyang Peak? And one of the Four Great Disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect?

Before Xiao Yun could think further, Wen Qing had already started walking towards the short and fat senior brother.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Zhong,” Wen Qing said politely.

Zhong Tianyan was so nervous he could barely speak, hastily returning the greeting, “Ju… Ju… Junior Sister, wha… wha… what are you doing here?”

Wen Qing smiled, “My Junior Brother is studying cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion, so I’m waiting for him to come out.”

“Junior Brother, come over and meet Senior Brother Zhong.”

Wen Qing called out to Xiao Yun in the distance.

Xiao Yun walked over to Zhong Tianyan with a smirk, “I’ve already met Senior Brother Zhong.”

“Really?” Wen Qing was surprised, “Junior Brother, you’ve only been in the Spirit Sword Sect for two days. How could you know Senior Brother Zhong?”

“We just met,” Xiao Yun said with a grin, looking at Zhong Tianyan, “Isn’t that right, Senior Brother Zhong?”

Zhong Tianyan stammered, “Y… y… yes… yes!”

Wen Qing gave Zhong Tianyan a gentle smile, “My Junior Brother and I have some matters to attend to, so we won’t disturb you any longer.”

Zhong Tianyan was so excited he was sweating, his mouth trembling, “G… good… good… good!”

Wen Qing nodded slightly, said nothing more, summoned the Green Bamboo Sword, and stepped onto it.

Xiao Yun gently supported Wen Qing’s waist, looking smugly at the astonished Zhong Tianyan, “Senior Brother Zhong, until we meet again.”

Zhong Tianyan’s eyes widened in disbelief!

Only after Wen Qing flew off on her sword did Zhong Tianyan come to his senses, shouting, “That brat dared to touch Junior Sister Wen Qing’s waist! Why! Who on earth is he!”

…

“Senior Sister, is that Senior Brother Zhong really as powerful as you say?” On the Bamboo Sword, Xiao Yun felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

It made sense, after all. Senior Sister was beautiful, gentle, and had a high cultivation level. Who wouldn’t like her?

Wen Qing chuckled, “Of course, among the younger generation of the Spirit Sword Sect, Senior Brother Zhong’s cultivation level is one of the best.”

“Even better than yours?” Xiao Yun inquired.

Wen Qing sighed, “Senior Brother Zhong practices a Fire Attribute cultivation technique. Even with my advantage in techniques, I can’t match him.”

“Really? Is he that formidable? He doesn’t look like it! To me, he seems like an overweight otaku!”

“An overweight otaku? What does that mean?” Wen Qing asked, puzzled.

“It just means he’s a bit on the heavy side,” Xiao Yun explained casually.

“Don’t be fooled by Senior Brother Zhong’s size. His agility is impressive. Our Master mentioned that Senior Brother Zhong is very strong, with virtually no weaknesses. It’s not easy to defeat him, which is why he went out to find me a weapon.”

“No weaknesses? That can’t be true,” Xiao Yun found it hard to believe that someone who appeared so unassuming could be so powerful.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving!

“If there is a weakness, there might be one,” Wen Qing suddenly couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“What weakness?”

“For some reason, Senior Brother Zhong tends to stutter when he speaks. That might be his weakness.”

Come on, he’s not a stutterer; he’s just nervous around you, Senior Sister!

When he spoke to me earlier, he was quite articulate!

Xiao Yun kept these thoughts to himself. He didn’t want Senior Sister to know that such a powerful person had a crush on her. That would be like helping a rival!

Xiao Yun quickly changed the subject, steering away from the topic of Senior Brother Zhong.

“Senior Sister, where are we headed? This doesn’t seem like the way back to Xiaozhu Peak!”

Wen Qing replied, “It’s almost noon. I’m taking you to Lieyang Peak for a bit. Didn’t you just learn the Fiery Blaze Technique? It’s a good opportunity to cultivate in the spirit gathering formation there.”

Xiao Yun nodded, chatting casually with his Senior Sister as they went.

Before long, they arrived at the training grounds of Lieyang Peak.

Soon, a direct disciple guarding the formation came over to greet them.

“What a rare guest! Senior Sister Wen Qing visiting our training grounds at Lieyang Peak.”

Wen Qing smiled, “I’m bringing my Junior Brother to experience the spirit gathering formation at Lieyang Peak.”

The direct disciple laughed, “You’ve come at the right time, Senior Sister. It’s almost noon, the time when the fire spirit power is most abundant.”

“Senior Sister, please come over here to pay the spirit stones. According to the rules, disciples from other peaks must pay one hundred spirit stones per hour to use the spirit gathering formation at Lieyang Peak.”

Wen Qing seemed familiar with this rule and was about to pay from her Bag of Holding.

Xiao Yun quickly stopped her, “Senior Sister, you didn’t mention we’d have to spend spirit stones. If it costs spirit stones, we might as well not go in. We can cultivate at Xiaozhu Peak just the same.”

Wen Qing laughed, “It’s not the same. You’ll understand once you experience it. I have spirit stones, so don’t worry.”

Ignoring Xiao Yun’s protest, Wen Qing paid the one hundred spirit stones and received a token.

She handed it to Xiao Yun, saying, “With my Ice Spiritual Root, I won’t benefit much from cultivating inside. You go ahead. I won’t be joining you.”

Since the fee was already paid, Xiao Yun had no choice but to take the token, “Senior Sister, once I’m done, let’s head back to Xiaozhu Peak and skip visiting other peaks.”

Wen Qing smiled softly, “Alright, I have my plans. Go on in and cultivate well. Don’t waste time in there.”

Xiao Yun nodded, “Don’t worry, Senior Sister. With such an expensive ticket, I have to make the most of it! You can head back to Xiaozhu Peak; no need to wait for me.”

“Alright, alright, enough talking. Go on in. It’s almost noon.”

Xiao Yun nodded, hung the token on his waist, and stepped into the spirit gathering formation at Lieyang Peak.
