Bus Fantasy Magic Beast Taming Chapter 73 Doubt
Senior Sister Zixuan failed to advance her spirit beast?
This news, like a thunderclap, exploded in the entire Huajian Sect. Who is Mo Zixuan? She is the eldest disciple of the Sect Master, the eldest sister of the Huajian Sect, and the one with the highest cultivation level among the second generation. And, if nothing unexpected happens, she is likely to be the one to take over the Sect Master's mantle.
For such an important person, the spirit beast she contracted would naturally not be an ordinary one. Mo Zixuan's spirit beast [Muxu] was captured by the head of the sect, Hua Ruo, personally. Moreover, this Muxu is a spirit willow that is over 500 years old. It is rumored that it is a fairy seed that fell from the sky and took root and sprouted in the Forest of Hundred Trees.
When Hua Ruo took Mo Zixuan to capture it, [Muxu] had already grown lush branches and leaves, and the willow branches had covered an area of five kilometers in radius.
The grade is conservatively estimated to be as high as the fifth grade. However, when it was captured, [Muxu] had just become intelligent, and after the contract with Mo Zixuan, who had just established his foundation, its grade was directly reduced to the second grade. This time, Mo Zixuan originally wanted to take advantage of Muxu's breakthrough from the spiritual stage to the Qi refining stage to help him advance. Unexpectedly, the news came that Senior Sister Zixuan failed to advance.
Shi Yan couldn't believe that even a powerful figure like Mo Zixuan would fail in the advancement of his spirit beast!
Moreover, the third-grade red sandalwood flowers required for advancement were found and presented by him personally. In this way, didn't he harm Senior Sister Zixuan?
He did not stay any longer and hurried to Senior Sister Zixuan's Liuxu Villa. However, when Shi Yan arrived, the outside of Liuxu Villa was already crowded with people watching the fun.
When everyone saw Shi Yan coming, they quickly made way for him to enter.
After all, Shi Yan's current status is very different. He used to be just a small guest of the outer sect. Even though he was known as the first guest of the outer sect, he could not attract much attention from others. But now it is different. He is now the direct disciple of the head sect master. Although he is the second oldest, he is not someone they can offend. From an outer sect guest to a disciple of the head sect, the gap is too big to accept.
Moreover, he is the only male disciple in Huajian Sect!
Shi Yan entered Liuxu Villa and jogged all the way. Fortunately, there were not many people inside, so Shi Yan quickly arrived at Mo Zixuan's boudoir.
Before he entered, a group of people pushed open the door and came out. They were all the top people in Huajian Sect. It was a bit impolite for elders to visit the younger generation, but the situation was special at the moment, and Mo Zixuan was the most likely person in the second generation to break through to the Golden Core in the near future, so they all condescended to come and visit. The one who led the way out was Tang Xi. Seeing the slight movement of her mouth, it was clear that she was very proud!
Tang Xi looked at Shi Yan coldly and put away his smile, "Shi Yan, are you getting used to it these days?"
Shi Yan bowed silently and said, "It's OK. The headmaster treats me very well, and the sisters treat me very well too."
Tang Xi's expression remained unchanged. He hummed, "The majority of Huajian Sect members are women. It will be inconvenient for a man like you to walk around. Be careful. Otherwise, even if you are the Sect Master's disciple, you will not be able to escape punishment!"
"Understood!" After Tang Xi left, Shi Yan snorted coldly. He naturally understood what Tang Xi meant. "Don't think that I won't touch you just because you are the master's disciple. If you want to live a good life in Huajian Sect, then stay quiet!"
She is putting pressure on herself!
However, how could Shi Yan be afraid of her? Besides, the ancestors of Huajian Sect were all their contracted spirit beasts. In Shi Yan's eyes, she, Tang Xi, was nothing.
He knocked gently on the door. After a while, the door opened and it was his Second Uncle who opened the door. Shi Yan hurriedly said respectfully, "Second Uncle!" This attitude was much more attentive than when he met Tang Xi.
"Oh, it's Shi Yan. You're here to see Zixuan." Second Uncle smiled when he saw it was Shi Yan.
"Yes, I heard that senior sister Mu Xu failed to advance, so I came to visit her." Shi Yan explained.
"Well, come in!" Second Uncle opened the door and walked in.
Shi Yan stepped in carefully. This was his first time entering a woman's boudoir, so he kept looking around curiously.
Looking around, the tables and chairs carved from fine sandalwood are delicately engraved with different patterns, exuding the delicate and gentle feeling of a girl's home.
It turns out that Senior Sister Zixuan, who has always been cold and aloof, would also choose such furniture.
The left side of the room was separated by a screen, but one could still vaguely see a zither and a jade flute. Only the head of the zither was visible, but one could still tell that it was dark and old; the jade flute was emerald green, with a little bit of light inside, as if it could play music on its own.
Walking out from behind the screen, there are several large cabinets to the right of the dressing table. They are closed tightly and no one knows what is hidden inside.
On the side, there is a bookshelf filled with ancient books. Before getting close, you can smell the fragrance of books.
Turning around, there was a dressing table that every girl had, on which was placed a bronze mirror with a diamond pattern covered with a brocade cover, a jewelry box with a bright red lacquer carved with plum blossoms, a gold-inlaid phoenix crown with precious stones, and a string of rare inverted rosary beads, which seemed to indicate that the owner of the room was not an ordinary woman.
Going further in, there was a lavender curtain, through which a large carved bed could be vaguely seen. In the large room, three figures were vaguely visible.
Shi Yan did not push open the purple veil and go in. He stood outside and bowed, saying, "Disciple Shi Yan, I pay my respects to the Sect Master!"
Hua Ruo smiled slightly, "Shi Yan, you are here."
Seeing Mo Zixuan's puzzled expression, Hua Ruo explained, "Zixuan, Shi Yan is my new disciple, and he will be your junior fellow apprentice from now on."
"It's him!" Mo Zixuan suddenly snorted, "Master, do you know who found the red sandalwood flowers for me that Mu Xu needs to advance?"
Hua Ruo was stunned, "Could it be..."
"Yes, it's Shi Yan!" Mo Zixuan said calmly: "I don't doubt him, but Tianyou Sect is an expert in spiritual plants, and Lin did the inspection on behalf of Mu Xu..."
She glanced at Shi Yan who was standing outside the tent, "He said it was the problem with the third-grade red sandalwood flower!"
Hua Ruo fell into deep thought and did not speak. Second Master Uncle glanced at Shi Yan and did not speak either.
Shi Yan's heart paused. Could it be that they all suspected that I had done something to the third-grade red sandalwood flower?
Seeing that the headmaster and the second uncle were silent, he felt cold in his heart. The longer they were silent, the more suspicious they were of him. Shi Yan felt colder in his heart.
"Zixuan, can you believe what Lin Dai said?" Hua Ruo finally spoke.
Mo Zixuan shook his head. "Probably not. He has been pursuing me for a long time. He would definitely not lie to win my favor. Of course, I am not saying that the problem lies with Shi Yan. I am just confused."
Hua Ruo nodded, pulled Mo Zixuan's cup to make her lie more comfortably, and said: "I believe Shi Yan, he would never do such a thing. Besides, he has no motive!"
She stood up and said, "You should have a good rest. We have stabilized Mu Xu's injuries. He is not in danger of death for the time being."
Mo Zixuan held Hua Ruo's hand, "Master, Mu Xu will be fine, right?"
Shi Yan was secretly astonished. It turned out that Senior Sister Zixuan, who was always known to be cold and cold, also had such a feminine side!
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I will find a solution!" Hua Ruo touched her head, and she also obediently let the master touch her.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should have a good rest."
"Yes, Master."
Hua Ruo lifted the purple veil, glanced at Shi Yan, and teased: "Shi Yan, you can't just look into a girl's boudoir!"
Shi Yan blushed and quickly nodded his head and said yes.
Following the master out of Mo Zixuan's boudoir, neither of them spoke a word along the way.
There were still many people watching the lively scene outside Liuxu Villa, and they had not dispersed. It was estimated that Tang Xi hoped that there would be as many people as possible, so he did not disperse these people who were watching the fun.
Seeing the master coming, everyone quickly made way for him and said respectfully, "Master!"
The head of the sect, Hua Ruo, nodded, her face slightly cold, "Why, are you all free, just here to watch the fun?"
After hearing the leader's scolding, everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"Not going away yet?"
As if they had been pardoned, everyone dispersed in a hurry.
When there was no one around, the head of the sect slowly walked over and said, "Shi Yan, what do you think of what you just said? There is really something wrong with the third-grade red sandalwood flower. This is true. I have checked it myself."
Shi Yan felt a little unhappy. Are you doubting me?
The headmaster's words aroused his pride. He said bluntly, "Are you doubting me? I can't say I'm a man of integrity, but I'm honest and upright. How could I do such a petty thing?"
