Chapter 334 Li Meng's Punishment, the Surname Suffers
Chen Junxuan's brows were full of worry: "But it is rumored that the Spirit King Liu Lingzhen has already reached the Lesser Vehicle realm."
With their martial arts skills, I really look forward to their appearance, but I'm also afraid they might be in danger if they come!
Song Jiuxian patted his shoulder: "That may be true, but I'm sure they won't be absent."
Chen Junxuan wanted to say something, but Song Jiuxian interrupted him.
"Alright, alright, stop worrying. With your teacher here, I can definitely protect them both."
The two said no more and followed the crowd into the City of Illusions, their figures quickly disappearing into the bustling streets.
Half a month later, three people, two men and one woman, rode their horses and arrived on the official road outside Huanling City, looking travel-worn.
These three were Shi Zi and Xiao Man, who had traveled all the way from Fengyuan County back to Huanling City.
And Li Meng, the Miao girl Xiaoman met in the ancient tree village.
Since Xiaoman brought Limeng back to Fengyuan County.
When Shi Zi first saw this blue-haired, blue-eyed girl, he was stunned for a moment.
Before he could even say hello, Li Meng raised her chin and looked him up and down.
She asked crisply, "Hey, are you the pebble that the young man has been talking about these past few days?"
Seeing her rude and even arrogant manner, Shi Zi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
But he still cupped his hands and asked, "It is indeed I, and may I ask who you are, young lady?"
"My name is Li Meng."
The girl waved the gleaming white flute in her hand, her tone light and cheerful: "The little brother said he'd take me with him to find Brother Lan."
Shi Zi scoffed, "Little brother? Who is your little brother? And who is Brother Lan? Why are you looking for him?"
Li Meng blinked her light blue eyes and said matter-of-factly, "Little brother is Brother Zilong!"
When Shi Zi heard her say that Xiao Man was her older brother, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"What did you say? Xiaoman is your older brother?"
He glanced at Xiaoman sideways, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you say you were going to check out that village? How come you came back with a little sister after going out?"
Xiaoman was about to explain when Limeng glared at her.
Li Meng interrupted, raising her chin to retort: "Who is his sister? My relationship with my brother is one of cooperation."
He led me to find someone, and I removed the curse from him—it was all clear and unambiguous.
"Undo the poison?" Shi Zi's face darkened when he heard the word "poison".
He looked sharply at Xiaoman: "You've been poisoned? How could you have been poisoned?"
Xiaoman scratched her head awkwardly: "It's a long story..."
Li Meng interrupted him: "It's the same whether you make a long story short!"
Then he made a face at Shizi: "He's not very capable, I just managed to trap him with a little trick!"
"But you, you look like a big, clumsy fool, your martial arts skills probably aren't that great either, are they?"
Upon hearing her rudeness, Shi Zi immediately retorted, "You little girl have quite the nerve. Want to have a go? I'll show you what it means to be outmatched!"
"Let's fight then, who's afraid of who?"
Li Meng tucked the flute into her waistband, put her hands on her hips, and said, "But I must warn you, I don't hold back when I strike. If you get bitten by my Gu worms and end up crying from the pain, don't go complaining to the adults."
Shi Zi glared angrily: "You..."
Xiaoman was at her wit's end when she saw the two of them arguing so loudly as soon as they met, so she quickly stepped between them.
"Forget it, forget it! Don't get angry with her, we have important things to do."
Li Meng snorted and glanced at Shi Zi triumphantly: "You're smart to know what's good for you, otherwise you'd be in for it."
Shi Zi was speechless, glared at Xiao Man fiercely, her expression conveying "It's all your fault."
Xiaoman pulled him and turned to leave: "Let's go, don't bother with her, there are still so many people who need treatment."
Li Meng made a face at Shi Zi's back.
Then he skipped and hopped right behind them and followed.
When the people of Fengyuan County saw Xiaoman return, they all crowded around her, asking all at once, "Dr. Xiaoman, you're back!"
"Dr. Xiaoman, why are you back so soon?"
"Yes, yes, did you find that village? Are there really ghosts causing trouble there?"
Hearing this, Li Meng burst out laughing. Her clear voice stood out in the crowd.
Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look at her, and some immediately frowned: "What's wrong with this girl? We're talking about serious business, what are you laughing at?"
"Exactly, that's incredibly rude!"
"She's probably some wild girl from somewhere, so unruly!"
Accusations rose and fell, and all sorts of comments came at you like needles.
Xiaoman felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
He was about to speak up to smooth things over when he saw the people surrounding him suddenly clutch their stomachs and fall to the ground, screaming and rolling around in pain.
Shi Zi was startled and frowned, asking, "What's wrong with them? Why are they suddenly crying out in pain?"
Xiaoman knew without a doubt that Li Meng was the one who had done it.
He turned to look at Li Meng helplessly, his tone pleading: "Li Meng, stop making a scene, make them stop."
Li Meng turned her face away and said defiantly, "Hmph, who told them to insult me without even knowing the facts?"
Xiaoman quickly explained, "They were just saying it casually, they didn't mean any harm! You should stop."
Li Meng pouted, tilting her head and refusing to give in: "No! Let them suffer for three days, and remember not to gossip!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zi retorted with dissatisfaction, "How could you do this? They didn't mean it!"
Li Meng glared at him, her tone barbed: "If it wasn't intentional, then it was deliberate!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at the groaning crowd on the ground and turned to walk aside.
Xiaoman quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Li Meng, if you don't stop, I won't take you to find your Brother Lan!"
Upon hearing this, Li Meng stomped her foot, her eyes instantly reddening, and said with a tearful voice, "How could you do this?"
"You were the one who said you'd take me there, and now you're ganging up on me too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the jade flute from her waist, twirled it in her hand, and made as if to bring it to her lips.
This startled Xiaoman, who waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, I'll take it! I'll take it, okay?"
Seeing that he had given in, Li Meng put away her jade flute and snorted coldly, "You better not lie to me!"
Shi Zi frowned as he watched from the side and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Man, what are you doing!"
Li Meng suddenly turned and walked towards the pebbles, her eyes filled with a hint of hostility.
Seeing this, Xiaoman quickly stepped in front of her, raising her hand to stop her: "Wait!"
Then he turned to Shi Zi, a smile spreading across his face: "Wait a minute, we'll talk about this later!"
He held Li Meng's shoulders with both hands, turned her around, and pleaded with her in a humble voice.
"Hey, you little devil... Mengmeng, if you want me to take you to find Brother Lan, you have to get rid of the Gu poison on these people first!"
Li Meng tilted her head and asked, "Why?"
