Chapter 541: Splitting It Evenly
Ning Shu didn’t know what Liu Qinyang said to the others, but they stopped bothering her and mostly just ignored her.
The main issue was that they couldn’t accept this reality. The person that they had always viewed as weak was now more impressive than them and they even had to rely on this person. They were the most respected disciples of Heavenly Law Sect, but now they had to stay together with trash. It was natural that their attitudes remained lofty and for them to feel that Wei Liangyue should worship them.
Even though the current Wei Liangyue was obviously strong, the idea that he was useless trash was already deeply rooted in their minds, so they found it humiliating to have to stay with him.
Ning Shu observed these disciples, then came to the conclusion that Liu Qinyang was probably the most schemeful. He had a round and amiable face and his attitude was especially decent when he wanted help from someone. The other three disciples were always unyieldingly proud and rarely spoke to her, but Liu Qinyang was completely different and sounded very sincere when he spoke.
If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t have a map to the palace, she wouldn’t have chosen to travel with these people either.
The only map she had was the one Old Man Wei had given her. It didn’t mark any trace of the palace at all. Old Man Wei clearly understood his own son’s ability very well and the idea of having his son fight to snatch the celestial residence probably hadn’t occurred to him even in his dreams.
As they headed towards the palace, they collected all the spirit herbs and fruits that they encountered on the way. Whenever they encountered something good, they would exclude Ning Shu. However, most natural treasures were guarded by spirit beasts.
When these people couldn’t beat the spirit beasts, they’d immediately dig out some spirit fruits and give them to Ning Shu, saying that they were splitting it evenly.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. These people were seriously unreasonable. They wanted help, but at the same time they kept their guard up against the very person they wanted help from. If they were able to beat the spirit beast, they wouldn’t split the loot with her. If they found that they couldn’t win, they’d immediately split some with Ning Shu so that she would help them beat the spirit beast.
They clearly didn’t treat her an equal.
Ning Shu took the spirit fruit Liu Qinyang offered and placed it in her storage pouch before curling her hand into a fist and punching the snake-like spirit beast. This spirit beast had very high defensive power. The others had already fought it for a long time, but they still hadn’t been able to kill it.
Ning Shu felt like she had just punched a tire. The snake wasn’t injured at all, so she pulled out her sword and gathered her strength to stab the sword into the enormous snake’s head. She revolved her energy to continue slashing forward and cut the enormous snake apart from head to tail. As its snow-white flesh came into view, blood splurt everywhere, filling the air with a terrible stench.
The snake was sliced cleanly into two halves. At this time, the lightning wind eagle swooped down and grabbed the snake with its claws. It was clearly claiming this snake as food.
“Bleurgh…” The two female disciples couldn’t stand this scene nor this stench and started vomiting.
The two male disciple looked towards Ning Shu in alarm. Was this really the useless trash that they had known? How was he so strong? They hadn’t been able to get through this snake’s defense even when they had been working together, but Wei Liangyue had been able to cut the snake apart like he was slicing through a sheet of paper.
They didn’t see him use primordial energy either. Could it be that it was really all physical strength?
Ning Shu wiped the blood off her sword before placing it back into her storage pouch.
