Tit for tat

Within a mere two days, Du Huasheng's resentment in the confinement room grew heavier and heavier.

He felt that as a Senior of the Qing Sect, he had no reason to lose to a junior, and his heart was more or less uncomfortable.

In order to consolidate his position in the Sect, Du Huasheng deliberately gathered some Disciples here, wanting them to do some things for him.

These people were already uncomfortable with Xiao Feng, but they were afraid to trouble Xiao Feng because no one was there to back them up.

Now, Du Huasheng finding them just gave them an Opportunity.

As soon as Xiao Feng came out of the confinement room, these Disciples all came before him, their Faces full of mockery.

"Isn't this our Sect Leader's direct Disciple? He actually came out of the confinement room."

"If it weren't for the Sect Leader helping, how could he have kept Senior Brother Du locked inside?"

Xiao Feng listened to their words, but had no intention of paying attention to them at all.

Ever since the Shanhe Sword fell into his hands, some Disciples in the Qing Sect had been acting strangely, feeling that he was not worthy of being called a direct Disciple.

Originally, Xiao Feng thought that as long as he didn't trouble them, these Disciples shouldn't keep bothering him.

However, he didn't expect that these Disciples had Du Huasheng supporting them, and they all came to the entrance of the courtyard where Xiao Feng lived.

Because the Disciples at the entrance of the courtyard were very unnatural and subtly intended to trip him up, he couldn't pretend not to see anything no matter what.

Now, he had just come out of the confinement room, and there was no reason to deliberately trouble these Disciples.

Otherwise, the Sect Leader and Elder were very likely to arrest him, which would be an even greater offense.

Xiao Feng walked around his room a few times, and a person immediately came to his mind, a faint smile on his Face: "I have a way now."

Originally, he had no solution at all, but now he already had his own method.

Soon, Xiao Feng arrived at the Pill Refining Room.

As he had guessed, Lu Xue'er, the Alchemist, stayed here year-round, currently contemplating new methods for refining pills.

When she saw Xiao Feng arrive at the Pill Refining Room, her brows furrowed involuntarily, feeling more or less uncomfortable.

If it weren't for him speaking up for her in the hall, she believed the two of them would have already argued.

Xiao Feng saw that Lu Xue'er wasn't refining pills yet, and quickly went up to her, chuckling softly: "Senior Sister, I need your help with something."

Originally, she thought Xiao Feng came here just to refine pills, but no one expected he came here just to ask for her help.

Lu Xue'er looked Xiao Feng up and down, her brows slightly furrowed: "My pill refining skills shouldn't be as good as yours, right?"

In the Pill Refining Room, she felt she couldn't help Xiao Feng at all.

Xiao Feng saw Lu Xue'er's gaze on him and waved his hand: "There are quite a few Disciples deliberately causing trouble for me at the entrance of the Pill Refining Room, and I hope Senior Sister can come forward."

As a well-known Senior Sister in the Sect, as long as she was willing to speak for him, he believed the Disciples at the entrance would listen.

When Lu Xue'er learned that Xiao Feng was being cornered by the Disciples at the entrance, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Feng and chuckled softly: "This is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

It was hard enough to find a few Disciples willing to avenge her, so she was absolutely unwilling to leave here for no reason.

Xiao Feng had already guessed that Lu Xue'er wouldn't help, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly: "I remember you once promised me and became my servant, you see..."

With just a short sentence, Lu Xue'er understood, her expression changed slightly, and she stared intently at Xiao Feng: "Are you threatening me?"

He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "I'm just stating a fact. If you're unwilling to help, I can only regard you as someone who breaks their promises."

He had clearly promised so much down the mountain, yet no one expected Lu Xue'er to do nothing.

Lu Xue'er listened to Xiao Feng's helpless tone and looked at him with hatred: "Just this once, I hope you don't come to me for help in the future, I won't help."

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to react, she had already walked outside and stood before those Disciples.

When the Disciples at the entrance saw that Lu Xue'er was subtly warning them, they exchanged glances and fell silent.

Originally, the Disciples thought Xiao Feng only had Zhou Wei as a friend in the Sect, but no one expected him to have changed after returning from his mountain training.

Now, with Lu Xue'er helping Xiao Feng, the Disciples didn't dare to continue bothering him and all left the entrance of the Pill Refining Room.

Within just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they returned to where Du Huasheng lived and recounted everything they had encountered.

When Du Huasheng learned that Lu Xue'er wanted to come forward to help Xiao Feng, he understood that these Disciples couldn't lay a hand on Lu Xue'er, and his Face turned very ugly.

Since Du Huasheng had always been a petty person, how could he possibly allow Xiao Feng to stay in the Sect normally?

Within just half an hour, he personally led the Disciples into the Pill Refining Room.

The Disciples at the entrance originally wanted to stop Du Huasheng, but since Du Huasheng used his status as a Senior to speak, the Disciples at the entrance had no way to stop him.

At this time, Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er were in the Pill Refining Room looking at the pill refining scrolls on the wall.

Suddenly, there was a sound of vibration from the entrance.

Both of them looked towards the entrance at the same time, and just happened to see Du Huasheng leading many Disciples inside.

Fortunately, the two hadn't started refining pills yet, otherwise, they were very likely to suffer a backlash.

Lu Xue'er angrily placed the scroll in her hand on the table and walked up to Du Huasheng.

Du Huasheng pointed in Lu Xue'er's direction: "I'm teaching a junior a lesson, so don't get in the way and cause trouble, move aside."

Xiao Feng was originally planning how to explain himself, but no one expected Du Huasheng to foolishly trouble Lu Xue'er.

This time, he didn't need to say anything at all.

Indeed, Lu Xue'er approached Du Huasheng, her Face full of anger: "Do you know what kind of place this is? This is the Pill Refining Room, can you act wildly here?"

The Disciples behind Du Huasheng exchanged glances and all lowered their heads.

They understood that the kick just now was very likely to cause the people inside to suffer a backlash, which was clearly their fault.

Lu Xue'er saw the Disciples lower their heads and looked at Du Huasheng again: "This is the Pill Refining Room, not a place for you to act wildly. Get out now."

Du Huasheng sensed that Lu Xue'er wasn't giving him any Face, and his Face turned terribly dark.

Originally, he planned to suppress them with his seniority, but no one expected that Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er had never regarded him as their Senior.

Since no one was willing to bear his pressure, Du Huasheng could only slink away.
