Chapter 158 Reverse Comfort
Yuan Jinyue led Mo Qianxun and the others back to the arena.

There were no sects in this place. Initially, due to the geographical environment and a special reason, no sect was willing to set foot here. Even after the Golden Sand Secret Realm was discovered by chance, no sect was willing to move its sect's address here. So all the sects contributed a little, and a place where people could live and compete was built.

There are usually very few people here. If someone happens to be passing by, they can stay here, but they will have to pay spirit stones.

So basically, before each Golden Sand Secret Realm opens, each sect will send out disciples to clean up first. After those disciples have cleaned up their respective sect's area, others can come in.

Yuan Jinyue led Mo Qianxun and the others to a house: "This is where we'll be staying temporarily. However, these houses are built according to the number of people, so we'll have to make do with you."

"It's fine, as long as I can sleep, it doesn't matter how crowded it is. I've slept in much harsher conditions before." Ling Feng didn't care. He had slept in all sorts of places when he was on missions before.

Yuan Jinyue looked at Mo Qianxun: "Qianxun, why don't you and Xiaomin squeeze in with me?"

Mo Qianxun naturally had no objections.

Chen Min didn't refuse; as long as there was a place to sleep, that was fine.

Just as the three were about to move in, Shen Wanrou, who hadn't shown up yet, suddenly appeared at the door. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, clearly indicating that she had been crying a lot.

"Junior Sister Wanrou, why are you crying?" A disciple asked, puzzled, when he saw Shen Wanrou's swollen eyes.

"Senior Brother Ziqi, where have you all gone? I haven't seen you since I came off the field. I've looked all over but can't find you. I... I thought you had abandoned me." As Shen Wanrou spoke, tears instantly streamed down her face again.

"Huh? Didn't anyone tell you? I remember telling the people around me before I left to tell you we had to leave for a little while." Ziqi scratched his head. He had indeed told the people around him.

Shen Wanrou sobbed, looking incredibly pitiful: "But, but no one told me! Senior Brother Ziqi, who did you tell?"

Ziqi scratched his head, thought carefully for a moment, and clapped his hands: "I remember now, there was a disciple of Xuanyin Palace with me at the time, and I told him to pass on the message to you. This bastard must have forgotten."

Shen Wanrou stared wide-eyed at Ziqi in disbelief: "Senior Brother Ziqi, my opponent in this match was from Xuan Yin Palace! When they won, all the disciples went up to cheer, and I..."

Everyone understood; that meant the disciple had also gone to cheer, forgetting about her, the loser.

Ziqi smiled sheepishly: "I'm really sorry, Junior Sister Wanrou. I didn't expect that guy to be so unreliable. It's okay, I'll teach him a lesson for you when I have time later."

"Never mind, as long as you haven't left." Shen Wanrou turned her gaze to Yuan Jinyue, but immediately saw Mo Qianxun and the others, and her expression instantly stiffened.

In Shen Wanrou's eyes, Mo Qianxun was a woman specifically designed to bring her bad luck; every time Mo Qianxun appeared, she would always encounter one problem or another.

The last time she met her, she was punished by her senior and second senior brothers in turn, and she never wanted to go to the Facing-the-Wall Cliff again in her life.

Seeing that Shen Wanrou's expression had changed, Mo Qianxun gave her a friendly smile: "Miss Shen, hello, we meet again."

Shen Wanrou: If I could, I would never want to see you again in my life.

Mo Qianxun: Then I'm sorry, I may have to shatter your beautiful wish. "Y-hello." Shen Wanrou came back to her senses, forced herself to greet Mo Qianxun, then walked up to Yuan Jinyue, lowered her head, and pitifully said, "Master, I'm sorry, I have let you down. I lost this competition."

If it were any other master, they might have offered some comfort. But Yuan Jinyue snorted coldly, "I never had any expectations of you, so why the disappointment? How could a Qi Refining Peak cultivator possibly defeat a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator? Do you really think you're the protagonist in a storybook, able to challenge opponents of higher levels? You should read less of those useless stories; cultivation is the right path."

Shen Wanrou clenched her hands tightly, her voice trembling slightly, "Yes, Master, your disciple will work even harder."

"Alright, who are you trying to fool with this act? It's like I've bullied you," Yuan Jinyue said coldly.

Shen Wanrou's tears instantly froze in her eyes, unable to flow or be stopped.

Seeing this, two female cultivators went forward to comfort her.

"Junior Sister Wanrou, it's alright. It's just a trip to the Golden Sands Secret Realm. If we miss it, so be it. Let's cultivate hard and try to beat him next time. It's just a sect that uses music as its attack method. Beating him is just a matter of moving a finger."

"That's right. Even though you've been stuck at the peak of Qi Refining for many years, you still need to give yourself some motivation."

Listening to how the two female cultivators comforted Shen Wanrou, Mo Qianxun looked at Yuan Jinyue: "Are people from your sect always so sharp-tongued?"

Look at Shen Wanrou's face now, it's so ugly, so incredibly ugly.

She wasn't sure what the person being comforted was feeling, but she herself was certainly in a wonderful mood, having just watched the spectacle.

"Senior sisters, there's no need to say anything more. I understand what you mean. I won't cry anymore. I will definitely cultivate diligently during this period and strive to break through to the peak of Qi Refining when Master and the others come out of the Golden Sand Secret Realm." Shen Wanrou was so comforted that she was actually quite angry. Inadvertently, she made a boast.

Yuan Jinyue's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Mo Qianxun beside her: This person is up to something.

Mo Qianxun gave her a reassuring look and nodded with a smile: Don't worry, leave it to us.

Because Yuan Jinyue was going to lead the team to the Jinsha Secret Realm the next day, everyone went to rest early after dinner.

In Shen Wanrou's room, Shen Wanrou returned to the room with a belly full of anger. She subconsciously picked up the vase next to her and was about to smash it, but then she suddenly remembered that the soundproofing of the house was not very good, so she stopped and put it back.

She picked up a cup of tea, took two sips, and then suddenly gripped the cup tightly, shattering it with a crack.

Teacup: ...Is no one going to speak up for me?

She couldn't suppress her anger after all, but before venting, she put up a soundproofing sticker in the room.

"Damn it, damn it, you all deserve to die! Don't be so smug. Once I succeed, you will all die, you will all die!" Su Wanrou smashed everything in the room that she could break or smash.
