Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Mingyuan had originally intended to teach these kids some dirty tricks, but he hadn't expected them to be even more shameless than him. He looked at Si Mingche, who hadn't said a word, and he seemed unusually normal today.

"Nephew, what do you think?"

Si Mingche flashed a bright white smile, "First, politely greet him and prick the back of his foot. While he's clutching his foot, stick on my newly developed itching talisman. When he's scratching, use Second Senior Sister's spiked whip to bind him. Finally, use Junior Sister's sword coated with poison powder to finish him off."

Mingyuan: ...What terrible crime did this person commit to deserve such torture?!

He suddenly felt that his apprentice and nephew were a bit scary, something he had never felt when facing hundreds of demons back then.

Jiang Mian silently moved away from the four people. "Are you even human?"

Si Mingche grabbed his neck, "You've been on this pirate ship with us all day, and you still want to run away?!"

"Beat this traitor up!"

In an instant, sword energy, talismans, and weapons exploded wildly inside the cabin. Mingyuan silently handed a weapon to his apprentice, Cen Ning, and then "whoosh" ran up to the deck.

"boom!"

"Boom!!"

Debris from the ship's cabin struck Linxu, who was still in operation. Before he could react, Mingyuan charged towards him like a giant ball. "Quick, the kids have gone mad again..."

Lin Xu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Weren't you giving them a lesson? Why did they start fighting?!"

"You five, stop right there!! You'll have to pay for the damage to the airship!!!"

Just then, another flock of cranes flew past the flying boat, and Linxu angrily shouted, "You damn birds! What are you flying for? You're making so much noise!"

"What a lousy mountain! It looks like a butt!"

"Aaaaaah!!! I'm never leading a team again!"

"boom!!!!"

Another deafening explosion followed, and the airship was completely blasted in two. Instead of being angry, Lin Xu laughed, "Hahahaha, fantastic! They're all blown up, all of them are blown up!!"

Mingyuan swallowed hard. "You...you're crazy..."

Linxu: "Get out!!!"

Mingyuan: "Oh."

Chengtian Sect.

When they received the message from Linxu saying that they would be able to return to the sect soon, Pu Hengzhi and the other elders waited at the mountain gate early.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

These kids really made them proud this time; they'll get a big reward when they get back!

However, after waiting for a long time, no one saw any flying boat. According to the speed of the flying boat, it should have arrived long ago.

Pu Hengzhi paced back and forth in front of the mountain gate, wondering, "Have these children run into some trouble? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Xuanwei took out a communication jade tablet and said, "Sect Leader, don't worry, let me send another message to Linxu to ask."

Yuehua pointed into the distance, "No need to ask, those sword-wielding figures should be them."

Pu Hengzhi placed his hand above his eyes, squinting at the seven black dots. "It is indeed them, but why didn't they use a flying boat?"

Yan Li leaned against the mountain gate. "They must have gotten into trouble again. It can't be that they had a change of heart and thought flying boats were too expensive in terms of spirit stones, so they switched to flying swords, right?"

"The main culprit is most likely that brat Yun Qing. Remember to arrest her first."

Yun Qing: ...Master Yan Li, love me one more time?

As the black dots slowly approached the mountain gate, they discovered that the sect leader and elders were all there, and excitedly waved towards the gate.

Pu Hengzhi rejected the other party's enthusiasm and asked coldly, "Where is the flying boat? Where is the only flying boat of my Chengtian Sect?"

The five boys looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but dared not look at Pu Hengzhi.

Even if they win first place in the secret realm at this point, it won't save their lives.

Pu Hengzhi originally wanted to ask Lin Xu, but he sensed that Lin Xu was not in a good state and seemed to be on the verge of going mad.

To avoid upsetting him, Pu Hengzhi could only ask Mingyuan, "What do you think happened?"

Mingyuan chuckled, "Like this...and then like that...and finally the airship was gone..."

Pu Hengzhi's temples throbbed violently. He must have been out of his mind just now, asking him even though he knew he was unreliable.

He grabbed Yun Qing by the back of the neck. "If they won't say anything, then you say it. I don't believe this has nothing to do with you."

Yun Qing couldn't understand why she had such a bad reputation among the sect leader and elders.

She answered honestly, "I accidentally exploded into pieces. Sect Leader, I really didn't use my full strength..."

Pu Heng was furious. "You're quite proud of destroying the flying boat?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "You lot, find a way to get a new flying boat back! Otherwise, you'll have to walk next time you go out for training!!!"

The five of them nodded obediently like little quails and returned to Qingyun Peak.

Yan Li plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth. He walked over to Pu Hengzhi and said, "That flying boat should have been phased out long ago. The one you had rebuilt is almost finished. So you deliberately made them think they did something wrong?"

"Didn't they do something wrong?" Pu Hengzhi said righteously. "Besides, if we don't punish them like this, will our Chengtian Sect still have a good life? I heard from Linxu about what they did in the secret realm."

"The flying boat is broken, but we can't let Chengtian Sect be destroyed by them."

Yan Li gave a thumbs up, "Why don't you become the sect leader?"

In the days that followed, apart from Si Mingche returning to the Si family to deal with his own future, the other four were trying to earn spirit stones.

Selling pills, talismans, and magical artifacts has earned them a considerable amount, but it's still far from enough to build a flying boat.

So Pei Shu spent his days flying his sword to take cultivators to wherever they wanted, charging ten spirit stones per trip. At night, he would go to the herb field to water the spiritual plants and remove any that weren't growing well, charging fifty spirit stones per trip.

Cen Ning and Jiang Mian took on many proxy beating jobs, specializing in helping cultivators beat up their enemies. The reward ranged from one hundred to one thousand spirit stones, depending on the enemy's cultivation level.

Yun Qing believed she had a good talent for music and decided to go down the mountain to perform and earn money.

In less than half a day, he earned three thousand spirit stones.

Pei Shubai was shocked. "My Jingfeng Sword is trembling from exhaustion, and I've only earned three hundred spirit stones. Junior Sister, how did you manage to earn three thousand spirit stones in half a day? Could it be that there are really many art-appreciating listeners down the mountain?"

"No. I originally planned to play the zither while selling some of the pills I made myself."

Thinking about what she was about to say, Yun Qing touched her nose a little guiltily, "Those cultivators thought my boasting was too awful, so they overturned my stall. These are the spirit stones they gave me as compensation..."

Pei Shubai: …………

When Si Mingche returned from the Si family home, he found that none of the four of them looked any better; some had bruises and swelling on their faces, while others looked as if their bodies had been completely drained...

After understanding the whole story, Si Mingche remained silent for a long time. "Another purpose of my return this time was to get spirit stones. My family has no shortage of spirit stones. Don't you want what you didn't earn yourself?"

Pei Shubai and the others also fell silent... What had they done these past few days? Were they even capable of enduring hardship?

Inside the main hall of Tian Shu Peak, Xuan Wei frowned and said to Pu Hengzhi, "The Illusionary Spirit Clan has arrived."
