What a joke!
"What have you done to our contract beasts!"
Hearing this, Ming Li looked at the disciples of the Vermillion Bird Sect as if they were perverts, her expressionless face asking, "I'm not a pervert, what could I have done to them?"
Everyone present, "..."
Wait! Isn't this a bit off track again?!
Over there, after the System had thwacked a big bump on the head of each Vermillion Bird, it contentedly retrieved its sack and, carrying the big iron hammer, returned to Ming Li's side.
With the seal on their heads removed, a group of Vermillion Birds quickly returned to their respective owners, some crying, others cursing, and the scene instantly became extremely lively.
Amidst this liveliness, Ming Yue once again jumped out, pointing at Ming Li and standing on a moral high ground, "Sister, how can you harm our senior brothers' contract beasts? What you're doing is wrong."
As Ming Yue finished speaking, she found that the atmosphere among those present had changed. Her senior brothers and sisters behind her seemed to be looking at her with strange expressions.
Before Ming Yue could say more, Ming Li's faint voice came from not far away, "What, you're allowed to gang up on the weak, but I'm not allowed to bully the weak with strength? After a few days without seeing each other, how has your skin become thicker than the city walls?"
With that, Ming Li turned and prepared to leave.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ming Yue's face. Looking at Ming Li's departing back, she couldn't help but shoot several poisoned needles towards Ming Li's back. However, she didn't expect that those poisoned needles would stop in mid-air when they were still half a meter away from Ming Li.
"If you can't win, you resort to sneak attacks. You little girl is truly wicked."
Those poisoned needles were blocked by the old man beside Ming Li.
At this moment, hearing the ancient voice that echoed through the forest, the disciples of the Vermillion Bird Sect were stunned. There were others here?!
Just as they were wondering, the ancient voice spoke again, "You few little brats don't have any inheritances to claim, why are you still lingering here?"
Inheritance!
Upon hearing the word inheritance, everyone's expression greatly changed, and their eyes widened instantly.
Seeing their reaction, a hint of a smile flashed in the eyes of the old man beside Ming Li. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, leave quickly. This old man needs to prepare to pass on the inheritance to this little girl."
Hearing this, the disciples of the Vermillion Bird Sect unyieldingly said, "Senior, since we have come here, it means this inheritance is also our opportunity."
The old man narrowed his eyes, "If that's the case, then you all go and try. If you can pass the three rounds of trials perfectly, then you are also qualified for the inheritance."
With that, the old man waved his large hand and sent the group of Vermillion Bird Sect disciples to the trials.
Two seconds later, the old man looked at Ming Yue, who was still standing in her original spot, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Ming Yue was also stunned when her senior brothers and sisters suddenly disappeared. After coming to her senses, she quickly asked, "Senior, why am I still here? I want to complete the trials too!"
Hearing this, the old man's voice immediately turned cold, "Your contract beast is not yours at all. You, with your crooked ways, are not qualified to inherit this old man's legacy."
Upon hearing this, Ming Yue's face turned pale. She bit her lip, not daring to speak, but looked at Ming Li with venom, her unwillingness almost overflowing from her eyes.
Sensing Ming Yue's gaze, Ming Li calmly shook the sack in her hand, her meaning clear: if you keep looking, I'll stuff you in.
Seeing the sack in Ming Li's hand, Ming Yue's face turned even paler.
