The Ridiculous Statue on Mount Luo

Ye Xianling narrowed her eyes, looking at Xue Ji with a probing gaze. Was the girl serious about her words? If she could punish the girl or take advantage of her freely, then it would be very profitable.

It should be noted that her departure to the peak of Bing An was to search for the Snow Lotus flower that could cure their sect master's daughter's illness. However, she and her group did not manage to get the flower. If other people knew of her failure, they would surely laugh at her.

If Ye Xianling could bring Xue Ji into their sect, then she could use the girl to blame. Then she won't get punished. The sect elders would only punish that stupid Xue Ji.

Ye Xianling secretly laughed inwardly. Why hadn't she thought of this earlier? Now she didn't have to worry anymore about returning to the sect.

Ye Xianling took a deep breath. While this was a good thing, she had to remain cautious. Xue Ji had tricked them before, the girl could do the second, third, fourth, and so on.

"What business do you want to come to our sect for?" She asked to be sure.

Xue Ji glanced at Ye Xianling flatly, then lowered the sword in front of her slowly. "Why? Are you afraid that I will destroy your sect?"

The question made Ye Xianling snorted. "A weak girl like you can't possibly destroy our Luo Mountain Sword Sect," she said disdainfully.

On the surface, she did look very disdainful, but her hunch was that it wasn't impossible at all. That girl may not be as simple as it seems.

"Good. Then what are you waiting for?" Xue Ji asked fearlessly.

Ye Xianling snorted. She put her sword back in its case. After that, she snapped her hands. A flash of light shot out to form a spiritual rope that bound Xue Ji's body. She smirked. This way the girl won't be able to escape.

Even though her body was tied up, Xue Ji did not feel anxious. She just needed to obey and then arrive at their sect safely. After arriving there, she would probably control things with ease.

"Follow me! Do not talk too much!" Ye Xianling ordered.

Xue Ji didn't say anything, just nodded lazily. Before going any further, she glanced back. She suddenly thought of Bai Xiu. Did that guy really stop chasing? Oh, she shook her head. What's the deal with that?

The group finally started to move on. Jun Xiao stepped closer to Ye Xianling and then whispered, "Sister Xianling, is it okay to let the girl come with us?"

Ye Xianling shook her head. "I've considered it carefully. She's just a weak girl. What mess can she make? And we can still use her so we can escape punishment."

Jun Xiao nodded in understanding. He didn't defend Xue Ji even though he had treated Xue Ji politely before. He felt offended that he had been deceived.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'll make sure she doesn't cause any trouble," Ye Xianling said to which Jun Xiao immediately nodded.

"I trust you, Sister Xianling."

The distance between Ding city and the Luo Mountain Sword Sect was not that far. They only walked for a quarter of a day before finally reaching the foot of Mount Luo. The sect was named the Mount Luo Sword Sect indeed because it was located at the peak of Mount Luo.

The mountain had two peaks each separated by a high ravine. From the foot of this mountain, they could already see the sect building up there.

As she walked Xue Ji carefully looked at her surroundings. Trying to remember whether in the past she had been there or not. However, all the sights seemed foreign to her.

"Time is cruel. I don't even recognize a place like this anymore," she said to herself.

"Don't act old anymore. What's the point of you acting like that? In the end, you will still be punished," Ye Xianling sneered.

Xue Ji didn't reply, she was just enjoying herself as she continued to walk. Even though she was tired, she still loved the trip. Let's just say she's playing with the kids.

Not long after ascending Mount Luo, they arrived at a gate consisting of rocky buildings. Two young men were standing guarding the gate.

When they saw Ye Xianling the two gatekeepers nodded politely. They looked at Xue Ji in astonishment but no one asked anything. Their respectful attitude showed that Ye Xianling was indeed a fairly respectable disciple in the sect.

"What's your name?" Ye Xianling asked after they passed through the gate.

"Just call me Xue Ji."

In the past, even though she had torn apart the world and wreaked havoc everywhere, not many people knew her real name. People might know the Evil Queen, but they didn't know who Xue Ji was.

Now she didn't have to worry that people would recognize her. After all, the person called Xue Ji is not just one. The name is not unique.

"Xue Ji, this time you have already entered the territory of the Luo Mountain Sword Sect. If you dare to cause trouble, it's not only me who can kill you, but hundreds of us will be very willing to kill you," Ye Xianling said emphatically.

Xue Ji yawned widely, completely unconcerned by the threat. "I know, I know. But can you untie me first? We're here and I'm not running away."

This time Ye Xianling granted her wish. She snapped her fingers and the spiritual strings on Xue Ji's body instantly disappeared. Now the girl is free again.

That attitude made Xue Ji smile with satisfaction. Her mood got better. She took a deep breath but then snorted when she saw a very long staircase not far in front of her.

She couldn't help but complain. "Can we get there sooner? I'm tired and want to get some rest."

Those who heard Xue Ji's words could only shake their heads. Did the girl have no fear at all? How could she still think of taking a break in such a situation now?

She really isn't sane.

Ye Xianling snorted coldly. "Who let you rest? I will take you to meet the elder. See if they will let you go or not!"

After that, Xue Ji's vision suddenly turned blurry. Her body felt like she was floating. The scenery around her flashed rapidly until a few seconds later her feet felt their footing again.

In just an instant she was already in a different place. Ye Xianling had just led her into the spacious courtyard that was in front of the large building. The corner of her eyebrow lifted.

"Where is this?" Xue Ji asked. She looked around, then her attention fell on a giant statue located in the corner of the courtyard.

The statue is a finely carved male statue. Everything seemed normal except for one, the pose. The pose of the statue doesn't look like the pose of a majestic god, but rather the pose of someone hitting a mouse under the bed.

Its body hunched over with its head down and buttocks raised. The statue right hand holds a ruler that has Feng's name engraved on it.

Xue Ji couldn't help but laugh. That's when she burst out laughing. She laughed heartily while pointing at the statue. "Heavens, what is he doing?" Her tone sounded very amused.

"How… how did you guys manage to display that ridiculous statue here?" she continued while holding her stomach which started to cramp from laughing too hard. Even the corners of her eyes were slightly wet from laughing.

Ye Xianling who saw Xue Ji's behavior immediately trembled with anger. Before she could express her anger, someone else had already shouted from within the building.

"Who dares to laugh at our ancestors?!"
