Protect Our Chief

"It’s her, it’s her!" Elder Chun felt the thin Immortal Spirit Qi emanating from Lixian and instantly became excited, "She is the legendary Immortal Plant."

Having lived through countless years, he naturally understood how rare Immortal Plants were in this world. Besides the incomparably noble existence in the Immortal Palace, Elder Chun had never heard of a second one.

For all Spirit Plants in this world, the reverence for Immortal Plants was an instinct engraved in their bloodline.

"Elder Chun." Peach Red Jade, who was as plump as a peach, was also quite surprised, "Isn’t she still a young tree? How can you be sure she is the Immortal Plant, perhaps she’s just tainted with some Immortal Spirit Qi?"

"It can’t be wrong, even though she is still young. But look at her jade-like tree trunk, perfect branches, all emitting an intangible divine glow." Elder Chun mumbled, "Even her way of swinging branches to hit people is full of noble aura."

"Who’s there, who’s sneaking around?" Wang Lixian keenly sensed something was spying from the shadows, and two branches swept like tornadoes.

"Snap! Snap!"

Two crisp sounds, and the half-wall blocking Elder Chun and Peach Red Jade’s figures suddenly shattered into pieces.

The branches continued on their path, heading straight towards Elder Chun.

With Elder Chun’s Tier Ten Spirit Plant strength, even if it were just a split body, evading an attack from Wang Lixian would be easy. Yet he didn’t dodge, allowing the branches to strike him.

The thick branches whipped across Elder Chun’s body, sending his robes flying and hair disheveled, yet they couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Seeing this, even Wang Lixian was stunned.

Others in the yard were also bewildered, turning their gaze towards the two trees.

"Please calm down, my lord. Red Jade and I mean no harm in spying. We sensed your presence and came specifically to pay our respects." Elder Chun hurried inside and bowed respectfully to Wang Lixian, then summoned Peach Red Jade behind him, "Red Jade, hurry and pay your respects to the Immortal Plant!"

Peach Red Jade was speechless.

Elder Chun was the most respected figure in Cyan Emperor Valley, even the Valley Master was respectful to him. Although the other might be an Immortal Plant Seedling, there’s no need to flatter so much, right?

However, despite thinking this way, Peach Red Jade swayed forward under Elder Chun’s authority and bowed gracefully to Wang Lixian: "Red Jade pays respect to the master."

"Are you two also trees?" Wang Lixian looked them up and down.

Since her birth, it was her first time seeing trees that could turn into humans, and she was quite envious indeed.

Her father said she would need to reach Tier Nine before she could transform into human form, which felt like a long way off. She wished she could advance to Tier Nine quickly.

"My lord, I am Elder Chun, and this is Peach Red Jade, we’re both Spirit Plants from Cyan Emperor Valley." Elder Chun replied respectfully.

"Elder Chun, Elder Hongyu." Zhen Shicong, who was being forced to do test papers, felt like salvation had arrived upon seeing the two trees, and hurriedly pleaded, "Elders, please save us! We are direct disciples of the Nanming Li Fire and Celestial Demon Illusion Lineage. This tree is terrifying and ruthless."

He had heard of Elder Chun and Red Jade from Cyan Emperor Valley, knowing they were powerful Spirit Plant bigwigs, albeit mostly in dormant states, hence their reputation was mostly based on hearsay. But their strength was undoubtedly formidable, and as long as they were willing to help, they could definitely rescue him and Yu Nianyun.

The test papers were terrifying; every question made Zhen Shicong feel that both his soul and body were being greatly tormented. If this continued, he would surely die here, sobbing.

Elder Chun glanced at Lixian and then at the pitifully hopeful Zhen Shicong and his companion, and without hesitation said, "These two fools dare to offend the Immortal Plant, they deserve punishment. Feel free to whip them, don’t spare them for my sake."

Zhen Shicong’s eyes suddenly became terrified, seriously? Elder Chun was siding with outsiders?

"You still dare to complain?" Wang Lixian was furiously angry, unfurling her branches, she started a mad thrashing at Zhen Shicong, "This lady hates tattletales the most in her life!"

Clearly, she was remembering some unpleasant memories.

Because of being tattled on, she had been spanked many times by her parents; the Wang Family’s tradition of spanking children is no joke.

"Ouch, ouch~ I was wrong! I was wrong!" Zhen Shicong cried out in pain, tears streaming down, "I’ll never tattle again."

Just when Zhen Shicong was in utter pain and despair.

Suddenly.

A somewhat stern voice sounded: "Xian’Er stop, don’t mess around."

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Lixian’s tree body trembled, quickly withdrawing the branches used for beating, swiftly transforming back to a tender, innocent seedling, swaying gently in the wind, looking innocent and obedient.

Previously exuding a bossy demeanor, Wang Lici also hurriedly shrank to the desk, picked up a pen, and began quickly writing the answers.
