Among the disciples in the Inner Palace, the one who was least satisfied with the Junior Palace Master was none other than Senior Sister Lin Yanping. She did not approve of the Junior Palace Master at all from the beginning to the end!
However, it was good for someone to step up and teach this new Junior Palace Master a lesson, after all, the Palace Master couldn't blame them; so, they simply stood by and watched, without giving any warnings.
The mango was plummeting rapidly, about to smash onto An Qi's head.
But just when everyone thought An Qi's head was going to be smashed and she would faint on the ground, An Qi reacted surprisingly quickly, catching the large mango plummeting towards her head with one hand.
Falling from such a height, if it were an ordinary girl, even if she caught it, she wouldn't have been able to resist crying out in pain. But An Qi didn't, not showing any signs of strain, which surprised them all.
The next moment, when they felt the aura that spread from her, they suddenly realized. It turned out that An Qi had advanced to the Breaking Mortal First Realm and had become a cultivator, possessing cultivation power; that was why she could easily catch the rapidly falling large mango.
"This is terrifying! It's truly terrifying! Yesterday, she was just an ordinary girl, and today she has become a cultivator. This speed, it's unparalleled."
Those several Inner Palace disciples were greatly shocked, repeatedly expressing their astonishment, as this was a result they had never anticipated.
It should be known that in the Qi Refinement stage, common people had to fumble for a long time before they could even begin to grasp a clue, not to mention advancing to the Breaking Mortal First Realm in such a short period.
When they started cultivating, it also took them a whole year to advance from a mortal to the Breaking Mortal First Realm. Even Xiao Bingbing, the most outstanding disciple of the Cinnabar Palace, took about half a year to advance from a mortal to the Breaking Mortal First Realm. So, by these comparisons, one could see how impressive their new Junior Palace Master was.
"It turns out she is a woman of extraordinarily outstanding talent, no wonder the Palace Master favors her so much." A few Inner Palace disciples suddenly realized.
Now, they began to gradually change their views on this new Junior Palace Master.
Meanwhile, Lin Yanping in the corridor was also full of shock; she hadn't expected An Qi to advance to the Breaking Mortal First Realm so quickly either, a circumstance she had never envisioned as it was simply impossible.
"No, no! I must have sensed it wrong." Lin Yanping was somewhat panicked, not believing the aura she had sensed.
Then, she sensed again carefully, but found it was the same.
"How is it possible? How could she possibly advance to the Breaking Mortal First Realm in just one day?"
Lin Yanping couldn't understand, because in the first stage, it wasn't just about having ample spiritual energy; one had to first figure out how to absorb the spiritual energy from the surroundings into the body, then figure out how to transform the absorbed spiritual energy in the dantian, and finally, slowly accumulate cultivation power to break through the realm.
These things can't be taught; one has to rely on their own exploration and realization.
Now that An Qi had done it, it was a huge surprise to her.
If she continues at this pace, An Qi could defeat her in less than three years.
"How could this be? I don't believe it! I refuse to believe that I, who have been cultivating for more than a decade, could be defeated by a girl who has only cultivated for three years." Lin Yanping was somewhat despondent, this was the last scenario she wanted to witness.
In terms of beauty, she couldn't compete with An Qi; in terms of cultivation speed, she still couldn't match An Qi, which left her without any chance of winning in Lin Yifan's eyes.
Just when she was in utter despair, An Qi looked over and their eyes met.
The mango that hit her was a green mango, meaning it was not ripe; thus, there could be two reasons for such a mango to fall from the tree: one was natural, and the other was man-made.
An Qi was inclined to believe the latter because, in this unfamiliar Sect, almost everyone was hostile toward her except for Xuji True Master, especially Lin Yanping who had always disliked her; thus, among so many people, Lin Yanping was the most likely to have taken action against her.
In the courtyard, she had just spotted Lin Yanping; moreover, Lin Yanping was looking at her with a face full of dejection; thus, she was 99% certain that the green mango was knocked down by Lin Yanping to frame her.
This woman was terrifying, with a malicious heart; however, considering that Lin Yanping had once helped to search for the millennium Blood Ginseng and protected Lin Yifan, An Qi did not want to pursue the matter further.
Therefore, she squeezed the green mango in her hand until it burst, then with a cold snort, she strode away.
This was a warning, an angry warning. If Lin Yanping dared to do it again, she would retaliate tooth for tooth.
The few Inner Palace disciples hiding in the distance were startled by An Qi's action. They had not expected the new Junior Palace Master to be such a person when angered; completely different, no longer the kind and approachable person of past days.
At that moment, they realized that this Junior Palace Master was not to be trifled with.
"Lucky we didn't make a move just now, or it would have been bad," some Inner Palace disciples silently rejoiced.
"Oh! Yanping sister is in trouble, opposing the Junior Palace Master is simply courting death!" someone expressed their worry for Lin Yanping.
Although the Junior Palace Master hadn't held Lin Yanping sister's actions against her for the time being, it was uncertain if she might later on.
If the Junior Palace Master were to complain to the Palace Master afterward, Lin Yanping sister might not die, but she would certainly suffer greatly; for the old Palace Master was not known for mercy.
On the other side, Lin Yanping had seen the whole process clearly, and honestly, An Qi's disdainful gaze filled her with rage, uncontrollable rage.
She would have preferred An Qi to come over and slap her ten times rather than endure that furious warning. Because it was a blatant insult to her, since when did a powerful Divinity Transformation Realm need the pity of a mere Breaking Mortal Realm cultivator? It was ludicrous.
Unable to bear this resentment, she shouted loudly, "Stop!"
"What now? After using such petty tactics, do you still wish to kill me?" An Qi stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at Lin Yanping with disdain from the corner of her eye.
"What do you mean by not holding my fault against me? Do I need pity from someone as despicable as you?" Lin Yanping scolded and angrily inquired.
She was fed up with being looked down upon and despised by An Qi.
"I don't hold it against you because you once helped me find the millennium Blood Ginseng and took care of Yifan; thus, this is not pity, this is repaying a favor," An Qi responded coldly, showing no interest in Lin Yanping.
"Finding the millennium Blood Ginseng and taking care of Mr. Lin were tasks given to us by the Master, I wasn't helping you, so you don't owe us any favors, because you don't owe us anything to begin with," Lin Yanping retorted.
