After Ming Li left the Demon Realm, she resumed her identity as the Ancestor and returned to the Xian Li Sect.
Upon arriving at the Xian Li Sect, Ming Li saw all the disciples rushing in one direction, towards the Ancestor Peak.
Ming Li frowned slightly, grabbed a disciple running past her, and asked, "What's going on?"
The disciple, without even lifting their head, replied, "The Ancestor's eldest disciple and the youngest disciple are fighting!"
Ming Li: ...Good heavens! She was gone for only a moment, and these two started fighting?!
Ming Li's mouth twitched slightly, and she followed the disciples to the Ancestor Peak.
Upon reaching the Ancestor Peak, Ming Li saw a group of disciples gathered far below the mountain. On the Ancestor Peak, Gong Yi Han and Chu Jun Mo were engaged in a fierce battle.
Ming Li crossed her arms, looking like she was enjoying a show. She nudged the person next to her and asked, "Why are they fighting?"
The disciple beside her replied without turning their head, "Listen, it seems like Senior Brother Chu wanted Ancestor Ling from Senior Brother Gong, but Senior Brother Gong wouldn't give it. Then Senior Brother Chu tried to snatch it, and that's how they started fighting."
Ming Li: ...Is this male protagonist brain-damaged?!
Ming Li pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from her spatial storage and began to crack them.
After cracking a few, Ming Li offered the seeds to the side, saying to the disciple beside her, "Want some?"
The disciple, still without lifting their head, reached out and grabbed a handful from Ming Li, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister!! I won't be polite then!"
Seeing this, another disciple said with a grin, "Senior Sister, I want some too."
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and, in a very good mood, pulled out a large bag and handed it over, saying, "Take this and share it."
The disciples took the sunflower seeds and said in unison, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Thus, below the Ancestor Peak, a comical scene unfolded. A group of disciples, each with a handful of sunflower seeds, cracked them with a satisfying crunch, truly living up to the name of "melon-eating masses."
Disciple A: "Where did these sunflower seeds come from? They smell so good! Cracking them is so satisfying."
Disciple B: "I don't know either, they were passed over from that direction."
Disciple C: "It looks like the Senior Sister in red over there gave them."
On the Ancestor Peak, Gong Yi Han's temper finally snapped. Unable to bear it any longer, he drew the Zi Wei Sword given to him by Ming Li and proceeded to beat Chu Jun Mo.
Chu Jun Mo, who was suddenly being dominated: ...Completely bewildered. What's going on?!
Chu Jun Mo tried to resist, but it was useless. He was still being beaten by Gong Yi Han on the ground.
Chu Jun Mo: ...
Finally, Chu Jun Mo couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Junior Brother Gong! I am your Senior Brother! This is insubordination! Master will not let you off when she returns!"
Hearing this, Gong Yi Han's beating hand paused as he looked at the face before him, which once belonged to him.
Chu Jun Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had deterred Gong Yi Han.
After a two-second pause, Gong Yi Han suddenly remembered Ming Li's words: villains die from talking too much, and when you can fight, never talk. Moreover, he wasn't the one who started the trouble, so Master definitely wouldn't blame him.
With this thought, Gong Yi Han's fist fell again.
Chu Jun Mo: ...Ten thousand mud horses, a divine beast, galloped through his heart.
