“Aunt-Master?” She watched as Yang Xirong suddenly emerged, charging toward her with a stern expression.

In haste, Qiao Mu retreated into MO Lian’s embrace and tugged at his sleeve. “I can forgive you for frightening me earlier. Convince Aunt-Master to go back.”

With Crown Prince Mo’s sharp intellect and eloquence, he should be able to placate Aunt-Master Yang with a few words.

MO Lian paid her no heed, prompting Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao to feel that her little Emperor’s authority was being seriously challenged.

She shot him an angry glare and took refuge behind him. “Aunt-Master, what are you doing? Everyone is watching.”

Finally, she realized that MO Lian and Duan Yue had used their auras to isolate everyone earlier. In fact, they had all been lurking in the shadows, observing her frantic attempts to call them!

It was truly devious!

Yang Xirong reached her side and wordlessly pulled the young girl out from behind MO Lian. “Do you understand what you did wrong?”

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao wanted to shake her head, but the circumstances compelled her to nod obediently.

“Speak up!”

Qiaoqiao recoiled slightly. “I, I, I shouldn’t have tried to show off.”

“But, the path of cultivation is inherently challenging. One must grow through battle!” The more she spoke, the more smoothly she found herself going along with it. “How can a hothouse flower mature? I didn’t… intend for this to happen.”

However, as Yang Xirong’s expression grew increasingly severe, she eventually lowered her voice.

“Heh, that’s a fairly reasonable explanation.” Dao Wuji, who relished chaos, stepped forward and chuckled.

“It’s not that I want you to grow! But you have to consider the situation logically!”

“If you were fighting alone, I would have no complaints. But you clearly found yourself surrounded by numerous sacrificial soldiers. One person can’t take on so many. Why didn’t you call for help?”

“The peach blossoms were obviously coming to your aid. Why did you prevent them?!”

A certain Venerable Immortal, previously dubbed Peach Blossom, regarded Aunt-Master Yang with an exasperated expression. “Aunt-Master, I’ve reminded you countless times that my name isn’t Peach Blossom; it’s Feng Chen!”

“Ah, and Peony and Gingko, why didn’t you summon them for assistance? You were clearly outnumbered and still persistently showing off! Is this what you consider the path of cultivation?”

The two sisters, referred to as Peony and Gingko by Aunt-Master Yang, exchanged glances and then shared a knowing look with Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal.

Qiaoqiao’s Aunt-Master had unceremoniously grouped Peach Blossom into the ranks of the sisters. Peach Blossom, Peony, and Gingko were all quite ordinary titles, so why did Aunt-Master make them sound like a brothel? Absurd!

“You weren’t battling anyone; you were being pummeled by a one-sided quilt!” Duan Yue retorted bluntly.

“Qiaoqiao, reflect on this: was it solely because you didn’t want us to assist you?” Feng Chen sighed and continued, “No.” “You couldn’t even remember us.’

Qiao Mu’s heart skipped a beat and sank slightly.

“When Qiuqiu called you earlier, you inadvertently uttered words that halted you.”

“Do you know why?” Feng Chen gazed at her intently. “You weren’t even addressing Qiuqiu.”

“No.” Qiao Mu inwardly trembled and instinctively refuted Feng Chen.

“At that time, you were already in a demonic state and couldn’t recall that we could aid you.”

Thus, they imposed a penalty on her and allowed her to experience what it was like to have no friends or relatives.

They wanted her to remember this day..
