Chapter 127: Undercurrent of Jealousy
After Yun Yao and Chu Mochen completed the mission, their status in the sect was significantly improved. Their outstanding performance made some fellow disciples jealous, especially those who originally thought highly of themselves but were left far behind by them in this mission.
In a quiet corner of the sect, several disciples gathered together, whispering about Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
"That Yun Yao is just lucky. If it weren't for Chu Mochen's help, how could she have completed the task?" A pretty female disciple with jealousy in her eyes said dissatisfiedly.
"That's right. How could she, a new disciple, be appreciated by the elders?" another male disciple echoed.
Their discussions became louder and louder, and they did not notice that Yun Yao was standing quietly behind a big tree not far away. Yun Yao had come out for a walk to relax, but she overheard these words. A complex emotion surged in her heart, including grievance and helplessness. She knew that her success would inevitably arouse the jealousy of some people, but she did not expect that these people would slander her so maliciously.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She didn't want to argue with these people. After all, she had more important things to do. She turned around and prepared to leave, but heard the female disciple say again: "I think she deliberately seduced Chu Mochen, wanting to use his strength to climb up."
This sentence made Yun Yao stop in her tracks, and anger surged in her heart. She turned around, looked at the disciples coldly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. Chu Mochen and I are just partners. We completed the task with our own strength."
The disciples were startled when they saw Yun Yao suddenly appear. But they quickly regained their composure. The female disciple looked at Yun Yao provocatively and said, "Who do you think you are? What we said is the truth."
Yun Yao looked at her with a flash of disdain in her eyes, and said, "Facts? Are the facts you call groundless speculations and slanders? I, Yun Yao, have behaved uprightly and I am not afraid of your gossip."
After saying that, Yun Yao ignored them and turned away. The disciples looked at Yun Yao's back, their hearts filled with resentment. They decided to find a way to teach Yun Yao a lesson, to let her know that in this sect, she can't do whatever she wants.
After returning to her residence, Yun Yao still couldn't calm down. She knew that she had to work harder to practice and improve her strength in order to make those people shut up. At the same time, she also decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Chu Mochen to avoid these unfounded rumors affecting their relationship.
A few days later, a small competition was held in the sect. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen both participated in the competition, and their performances were still outstanding, winning the applause of many disciples. However, after the competition, some disciples who were jealous of Yun Yao began to spread rumors behind her back, saying that Yun Yao cheated in the competition.
These rumors quickly spread throughout the sect, causing dissatisfaction and doubt among some disciples. Yun Yao was very angry when she heard these rumors. She knew that these were deliberately spread by those who were jealous of her in order to destroy her reputation.
Yun Yao decided to find out the source of the rumors and clear her name. She began to investigate secretly and found that the rumors came from the disciples who had slandered her. Yun Yao was filled with anger and decided to teach these people a lesson.
Yun Yao found those disciples and questioned them face to face why they spread rumors. When those disciples saw Yun Yao coming to them, they all felt guilty. But they still said stubbornly: "We are telling the truth, you are just cheating."
Yun Yao looked at them with a hint of coldness in her eyes, and said, "Don't refuse my offer. I have enough evidence to prove that you are deliberately slandering me. If you don't repent, I will hand the evidence over to the elders and let them handle this matter."
The disciples were shocked when they heard Yun Yao's words. They knew that if the elders knew about this, they would be severely punished. They quickly apologized to Yun Yao and admitted that they spread the rumors because they were jealous of her.
Yun Yao looked at them, and the anger in her heart subsided a little. She said, "I hope you won't do this again in the future, otherwise, I won't let you go easily."
The disciples nodded quickly, saying that they would not do it again. Yun Yao turned and left. She knew that although the matter was temporarily resolved, her situation in the sect was still not optimistic. She had to work harder to practice and improve her strength in order to gain a firm foothold.
In the following days, Yun Yao practiced even harder. She used the resources and guidance provided by the system to continuously improve her strength. At the same time, she also began to learn some advanced skills and spells from some sects to lay a solid foundation for her future.
Chu Mochen also noticed Yun Yao's changes. He knew that Yun Yao was stimulated by those rumors. He decided to help Yun Yao and let her get out of the shadow as soon as possible.
Chu Mochen found Yun Yao and said to her: "Yun Yao, don't pay attention to what those people say, we just need to do our best. I believe that everyone can see your strength and hard work."
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said, "Thank you, Chu Mochen. I will work hard and will not let those people succeed."
Chu Mochen nodded and said, "Let's work together and make progress together."
Since then, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen have become closer. They practice together, discuss techniques and spells together, help each other, and grow together.
As time went by, Yun Yao became stronger and stronger. Her status in the sect became higher and higher, and she gained more respect and recognition from the disciples. Those who once envied her had to look at her with new eyes.
However, Yun Yao did not become complacent because of this. She knew that she still had a long way to go and many challenges were waiting for her. She decided to continue to work hard to improve her strength and work hard to achieve her goals.
The author says:
In this chapter, we see Yun Yao's strength and courage in the face of jealousy and rumors. She was not defeated by those malicious remarks, but chose to prove herself with her strength. At the same time, we also saw Chu Mochen's support and help for Yun Yao, and their friendship became deeper in the process. In the future stories, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen will face more challenges and difficulties, but I believe that they will be able to overcome everything and realize their dreams.
