He Ronger and Sect Master Yuan's conversation was originally in a low voice, but those who were polishing Cinderella were all people with cultivation, and when the two of them were talking, the surroundings fell into silence, so their conversation was heard by everyone present without missing a word.

Hong Yunhui's face suddenly darkened.

He glanced at He Rong'er with some displeasure, then looked at Yuan Sheng and asked, "Master Yuan, didn't she come to my Lingyun Sect to become my disciple?"

Yuan Sheng looked embarrassed, and after a dry cough, he said, "Well... it's my fault for not telling you clearly in advance that Rong has no intention of becoming your disciple."

Hong Yunhui didn't expect this to happen, and his eyes turned a little cold.

This was the first time that he was humiliated in front of so many disciples.

Wouldn't it be laughable if I told others about it?

He Tianhong's eyes were originally somewhat dissatisfied, but now he looked at He Rong'er with even greater anger: "He Rong'er, who do you think you are? How dare you reject my master in public!"

At first he really couldn't believe that his master was willing to take He Ronger as his disciple, and he was about to speak up to stop him.

But before he could say anything, he heard He Ronger's refusal, coupled with her reluctant expression, and he suddenly felt angry.

His master is the leader of Lingyun Sect, and his skill in drawing talismans is unique in the spirit world. Looking at the entire spirit world, few people can draw talismans better than him. He is giving her face by condescending to accept her as a disciple today, but she dares to refuse!

What a wild girl who doesn't know her place!

Just as arrogant and short-sighted as he was ten years ago!

He Ronger glanced at He Tianhong coldly and did not answer him. Instead, she bowed respectfully to Sect Leader Hong and said calmly, "Sect Leader Hong, I have no other intentions, but..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard voices of blame coming from below.

"Who do you think you are? You can only refine two pills, but you dare to treat our sect leader like this."

"There are many people who can make medicine. Our sect master only wants to accept you as a disciple for the sake of Sect Master Yuan, but you don't even give him face."

"She can make medicine, but she may not be able to draw talismans. Previously, Sect Master Yuan and the disciples of Qingling Sect boasted about how good she was at drawing talismans. I think it was all bluffing."

"That's right. How good can a teenage girl be at drawing talismans? I'm afraid she's not even half as good as Senior Brother He."

"Humph, I think this little girl came to Lingyun Sect on purpose to cause trouble. Get rid of her!"

"Get her out of here!"

For a moment, there was a sound of people shouting in unison.

Faced with this sudden accusation and clamor, He Ronger's expression did not waver at all, her eyes remained firm and calm, as if those noisy voices were just dust in the wind to her, which could be blown away with a gentle breeze.

She took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and glanced at the people who were pointing fingers at her and talking about her. She said in a low but very clear voice:

"My fellow disciples, I, He Rong'er, am not here to show off, nor to find fault. What I pursue is only continuous improvement and self-transcendence on the path of cultivation.

As for refining medicine and drawing talismans, they are just two ways I explore on this road. I know that I still have many shortcomings, and I have never dared to call myself a genius or superior to others. But I have my persistence and faith, and I hope everyone will forgive me. "

Having said this, she paused slightly, turned her gaze to Master Hong again, and her tone was more sincere and respectful.

"Master Hong, you are highly respected and I have always admired you. I came here today hoping to get some advice from you and discuss the way of cultivation together. If my presence has caused any inconvenience to you or Lingyun Sect, I apologize in advance. But please believe that my original intention is pure, and my respect for Lingyun Sect is from the heart."

After saying this, He Ronger bowed again. His humble attitude and sincere words gradually calmed the originally noisy scene.

Some disciples who originally had prejudices against her could not help but re-examine this seemingly weak but extremely tough girl.

As for Sect Leader Hong, he nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He knew very well that in this world of cultivation, talent and hard work were important, but a tenacious and adventurous heart was often more rare. He coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then slowly spoke:

“My fellow disciples, the path of cultivation is long and arduous, and we should treat each of our fellow practitioners with tolerance.

Since He Ronger has such a heart, we might as well give her a chance and see how far she can go. As for refining medicine and drawing talismans, they are both skills in cultivation, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Why should we generalize and jump to conclusions? "

As Master Hong finished speaking, the originally tense atmosphere was greatly eased.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and He Ronger looked at Master Hong with gratitude.

But at this moment, a man stood up from the crowd, looked at He Ronger and said, "Sect Master, you must not be fooled by this person. What she said sounded nice, but she is still looking for an excuse to refuse to become his disciple. Maybe she really looks down on our Lingyun Sect."

He Ronger looked at the crowd when she heard that, and happened to meet Yan Mei's provocative eyes.

She frowned slightly and thought to herself that this face did give her a sense of déjà vu, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Facing Yan Mei's provocation and questioning, He Rong'er did not get angry immediately. Instead, she looked at her calmly: "Senior sister, I've already said that I have no intention of disrespecting your sect. Why are you instigating me?"

"Senior sister," He Rong'er said calmly, but her eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness, "I reiterate that I have no intention of disrespecting Lingyun Sect."

"I came here out of my love and pursuit of cultivation, and I also hope to receive guidance and teachings from your master. As for whether to become your disciple or not, I do have my considerations, but this does not mean that I look down on Lingyun Sect or any of my fellow disciples."

"Humph, that sounds nice," Yan Mei sneered, "Who knows what you're thinking. But since you said so, let's see if you have real skills or are just talking nonsense."

After Yan Mei finished speaking, her eyes swept across He Tianhong's face intentionally or unintentionally.

From He Tianhong's attitude just now, she could tell that he disliked He Ronger just as much as he did ten years ago.

This was a great opportunity for her to speak up for the sect and teach He Ronger a lesson on behalf of Senior Brother He, and she couldn't miss it.

The other disciples present also responded and shouted together: "Yes, let us see if you have real skills!"

He Ronger was finally certain now that this senior sister just wanted to laugh at her.

With a slightly cold look in her eyes, she stared at Yan Mei and the other disciples present and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
