She just couldn’t stand Ye Luo, that’s right, the master’s orders couldn’t be disobeyed, but that didn’t mean she had to follow his decisions without question. Wasn’t it just about interacting with Ye Luo? Why should she, the Jade Shu Fairy, be inferior?

Ye Luo blinked and hadn’t yet grasped the situation.

But at that moment, an exceptionally dazzling woman approached!

This woman was dressed in luxurious attire, exuding a faint glow, and on her back was a light blue longsword!

"Oh, who’s this wild girl, huh? Bullying the honest folks?"

Honest folks?

Ye Luo’s forehead darkened!

He knew the woman was speaking up for him, but he, Ye Luo, was being called an honest person for the first time... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

This feeling, it didn’t seem particularly good!

The woman who spoke was named Kou Lian. If Ye Luo were a bit sharp, he could probably tell from her attire that she was from the Sword Cultivating Sect!

Of course, Ye Luo had only interacted with Jianli from the Sword Cultivating Sect a few times and didn’t know what kind of identity Fang Yun truly had!

Of course, even if he knew these things, Ye Luo couldn’t have imagined that they were all from the Sixth Region, so naturally, he didn’t recognize this woman or make such connections!

At this time, Ye Luo was just quite curiously observing this scene!

Indeed, Kou Lian was naturally someone sent by the Sword Cultivating Sect!

To get to know Ye Luo, the Sword Cultivating Sect went to great lengths, opposing Tianzong, the Liu Family, and even sometimes the Dragon Clan, while sparing no expense to find Ye Luo’s whereabouts!

Sure enough, they found Ye Luo, but when they did, they happened to hear Ye Luo had gone to the Divine Rune Sect!

It’s actually thanks to the connection between the Sword Cultivating Sect and Elder Jin that Elder Jin told them these things!

Kou Lian’s main task was to contact Ye Luo and maintain a good relationship with him, so she hurried over without a moment’s delay.

Who knew that just as she found Ye Luo, she would encounter someone trying to bully him, so naturally, Kou Lian wouldn’t miss the opportunity and immediately stood up to try to protect Ye Luo!

She didn’t expect, however, that her offhand comment about honest folks would leave Ye Luo bemused for quite a while!

"Who are you? When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs?"

Unlike Kou Lian, Jade Shu Fairy received orders to protect and interact with Ye Luo, but she was to avoid revealing her identity as much as possible, so she disguised herself.

Seeing Kou Lian intervening, Jade Shu Fairy didn’t know if Kou Lian was friend or foe, but she knew Ye Luo had no friends—of course, her master told her this.

So, Jade Shu Fairy’s first reaction was that Kou Lian probably didn’t have good intentions towards Ye Luo!

Either she was just passing by and standing up for justice, or she had some designs on Ye Luo!

If it was the former, it was fine, but if it was the latter...

Since her master instructed her to protect Ye Luo, it must mean Ye Luo was in potential danger, and with this in mind, Jade Shu Fairy understandably harbored a bit of hostility towards Kou Lian!

And wasn’t Kou Lian the same?

In her mind, her mission was to protect Ye Luo at all costs, even at the expense of her life—this was the Sword Cultivating Sect Master’s strict command!

So she didn’t care much; after all, she saw that Jade Shu Fairy intended to harm Ye Luo, so her hostility naturally grew stronger!

Kou Lian didn’t even answer Jade Shu Fairy’s question, and her longsword was already out of its sheath, ready to fly at any moment!

"Stop! No matter who you are, this is the Divine Rune Sect’s assessment area. Anyone who causes trouble here is an enemy of the Divine Rune Sect!"

Just as Jade Shu Fairy and Kou Lian were about to make a move, another clear shout was heard!

Simultaneously, a flash of light passed by, revealing yet another girl stepping forward!

This girl was named Bai Luofeng, a law enforcement disciple of the Divine Rune Sect. Although she was just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple within the Divine Rune Sect, with no high standing, she was known for being impartial and principled in her actions. This time, she was tasked, along with others, with maintaining order in this small town.

When nothing was happening, they naturally blended in with the crowd and stayed hidden, but now that something was occurring, Bai Luofeng would definitely not hide her presence!

For Kou Lian, she wasn’t a member of the Tianzong Nation, and the Sword Cultivating Sect’s strength was not inferior to Tianzong’s, so naturally, she had no fear of anyone; let alone just a sect within the Tianzong Nation!

And Jade Shu Fairy, being a favored one within Tianzong, naturally feared no one either!

Moreover, the skills of these two women were visibly higher than Bai Luofeng’s for anyone with discerning eyes!

Bai Luofeng was simply fulfilling her duty, and this was the Divine Rune Sect’s territory, so even if the two in front of her were stronger, she wouldn’t feel afraid!

Thus, the three of them ended up in a stalemate suspended in midair!

Ye Luo was stunned anew. Speaking of which, it seemed like these three were in this deadlock all because of him!

What kind of nonsense was all this!

Ye Luo had just managed to act the part of an honest person for once, not bothering anyone, just wanting to quietly learn from a master without causing any commotion over these past few months!

Yet, trying to become an apprentice, he encountered such bizarre things. What could he say?

Was he unlucky, or was he lucky?

Ye Luo looked up at the three confronting figures in the air!

At this moment, the three were surrounding Ye Luo, forming a triangle, enclosing him within!

Yet, none of their gazes were on Ye Luo!

"Hey, uh..."

Ye Luo was just about to speak to stop them. But to his surprise, the voices of the three rang out in unison.

"Shut up!"

Damn it!

Ye Luo was dumbfounded, wishing he could go up and give each of them a good slap!

To sum up, wasn’t he, Ye Luo, the real victim here?

What the heck?

Fine, he’ll shut up, he thought, having noticed that Jade Shu Fairy might be disguised as a man!

The other two were clearly females too, and it wasn’t manly to fight with women, so he thought if he couldn’t provoke these three, he could at least leave, right?

With this in mind, Ye Luo planned to walk straight out.

He hadn’t expected that as soon as he moved, he would hear the voices of the three rising in unison:

"Stop!"

"Don’t move!"

"Stay where you are!"

Goodness gracious!

Ye Luo was truly frustrated this time. Not only had he been told not to talk, but now he wasn’t allowed to leave?

Indeed, Ye Luo’s strength left much to be desired. In the Sixth Region, he hardly seemed qualified to speak, but who was Ye Luo?

Whether on Earth or in the Ninth Region, when had Ye Luo not been a figure that commanded reverence?

Yet now he was encircled by three young women, not permitted to leave?

By now, a crowd had gathered around, with onlookers completely clueless about what was happening, but they could all clearly see Ye Luo’s awkward predicament!
