Chapter 1409 Bully
Feng Jiu was stunned. She looked at the five or six people. Three of them were errand boys and their cultivation strength was Foundation Formation stage. The other three had jade tokens hanging from their belts so they would be core disciples, and their cultivation strength was Golden Core stage. Including the errand boy who led the way, there were seven of them in total.
“Why are you looking for me?” She asked in a daze, her expression confused.
One of them stepped forward and shoved her: “Kid, why are you doing all the work for the Eighth Peak?”
As Feng Jiu staggered backwards, her feet were caught by another person’s outstretched foot. She let out a cry of exclamation as she fell to the ground and looked at the seven people in astonishment.
“Why are you bullying me?”
She said aggrievedly and lowered her eyes with a sad look. However, in the depth of her eyes was a glimmer of light.
She hadn’t bullied anyone, so why were they bullying her? She had been keeping such a low profile recently, why would they come and provoke her now?
“Take the things out! We know that you have been to the various peaks recently and many of the alchemy seniors have rewarded you with a lot of pills.”
“I’ve given the pills away.” She raised her head and replied, looking at the man who was talking.
She remembered this person, he was an alchemy disciple from the Sixth Peak. His alchemy skills were average, apparently he’s been a core disciple for quite a number of years but he has still been unable to pass the test to become an Alchemy Master.
“Given them away? Huh, who are you trying to deceive? You’re just an errand boy, even if you did give the pills away, you would have saved one for yourself. You wouldn’t give them all away.”
He sneered and crossed his arms over his chest as he looked down at Feng Jiu who was sat on the ground, saying impatiently: “Take the pills out immediately, and if you’re wise, when you go back you will tell the steward that you will give up the role of delivering medicinal herbs to the Eighth Peak, otherwise, hmph!”
At this moment, Feng Jiu who was sitting on the ground thought: Shall I kill them all? It wasn’t that she couldn’t kill them, but it would cause trouble for her. Shall she beat them up? That didn’t seem like a good idea either. The cultivation strength that she showed was only Foundation Formation stage, so if a Foundation Formation stage cultivator was able to beat up a few Golden Core stage cultivators, it would alert the people higher up the hierarchy.
So should she hold her head and let them scold her? She wasn’t willing to take that sort of abuse! Poison them? That idea was feasible.
At this time, Feng Jiu didn’t notice that a little distance away was a white figure flying in midair down from the Ninth Peak headed towards the Eighth Peak. However, when that figure inadvertently glanced over and saw Feng Jiu sitting on the ground surrounded by five or six people, she paused slightly.
Shangguan Wanrong’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly as her beautiful eyes fell on that place behind the mountainside. She only saw the place because she was looking down from a high place while standing on her flying sword. If she were down below, this place would have gone unnoticed.
What made her stop was the young lad on the ground. Wasn’t he the one who had delivered medicinal herbs to her the other day?
Even in this kind of sect, there would also be the instances where the weak would succumb to the strong. The young lad was only a Foundation Formation stage cultivator and only an errand boy, so he was probably targeted to be bullied by these people.
This wasn’t any of her business, and neither should she interfere, but when she saw the young lad surrounded by those people, sitting helplessly on the ground, she couldn’t help but felt sorry for him.
She could not help but sighed and said: “He’s only a child!”
She thought of her daughter, if she could see her, she would be around the same age as the boy.
