Chapter 22 Si Cang: Do you want to murder your husband?

Since ancient times, people have believed that geese, like dogs, can ward off evil and misfortune. Geese have a sharp, piercing cry and are more alert than dogs. People believe they can ward off evil and misfortune, ensuring peace and tranquility in their homes, so many people raise geese.

In fact, this statement is correct. In the theory of the five elements, geese correspond to gold, representing fortitude and wealth. Raising geese can indeed increase the gold energy in the home.

Geese are also very lively. In the past, tomb robbers would put geese into the tomb passage first when they went into the tomb. They believed that the goose's eyes could communicate with yin and yang, and its fighting power was low, so when evil spirits came out, the first thing they would kill was the goose, which could serve as a warning.

Duan Anluo doesn't need to sacrifice the big goose, as long as it can issue a warning. If this big white goose has good character and can lead this group of "green forest heroes", he really wants to take it home to raise it.

The prerequisite is that the big white goose can speak Mandarin, because he is afraid that the boy will scold him in his hometown dialect and he will not understand.

Duan Anluo got out of the car. The goose swaggered to a stop opposite Duan Anluo, stretched its neck, and was as tall as Duan Anluo's waist. "Ga! Master, what do you want us to do this time?"

Duan Anluo took out the ball of resentment and said, "Give it to me. Find something in the whole city that has the same origin as this ball of resentment. It could be a ghost, an object, or even a living person. Anyway, I don't know what it is. Even search rat holes. You must find this thing."

The big white goose flapped its wings. Before starting a mission, it had to negotiate a contract. After all, it had brought so many brothers with it, and it had to be responsible. "Will you really give us a month's worth of incense? You saw it too, there are a lot of us here."

"Here, we will have long-term cooperation in the future. If you do things for me, I will give you incense and tributes. I swear on my soul." Animals cannot be fed too much. If they are fed too much, they will easily have evil thoughts. It is best to keep their appetite suspenseful like this. Duan Anluo has experience in this.

The goose immediately held its head high and said, "Ha! We will complete the mission! Brothers! Let's go!"

At the command of the big white goose, mice burrowed into the ground, rabbits jumped, snakes swam around, and even the sheep bleated and joined the search team. The scene was once very magical.

Duan Anluo also found this scene very amusing. He suppressed his embarrassment and said to Si Cang seriously, "Be patient, they are very capable."

After saying this, Duan Anluo couldn't hold it in any longer and covered his face with his hands while laughing and crying. It was really not his fault. In the past, the spiritual energy was thin, and it was already a blessing from heaven that so many animals could cultivate spirituality. Where could he go to find a big monster?

Si Cang watched the chaotic scene and silently noted: Duan Anluo has gained another ability: animal affinity. He's like a pyramid scheme leader in the animal world, and he's also fluent in goose language.

Anyway, there was nothing to do waiting here, so Si Cang hooked his finger at Duan Anluo and said, "Come up, I'll show you something."

Duan Anluo asked as he got into the car, "What is it?"

As soon as the car door closed, a white snake as thick as a bucket appeared in the car. Its silvery scales glowed with a cold light, and its large body occupied most of the RV.

It tilted its head and crawled towards Duan Anluo. Its head was thicker than Duan Anluo's waist. When it got closer, one could see two small bumps on the top of its head - this was a sign that it was about to transform into a dragon!

"Si Cang!" Duan Anluo was frightened and took several steps back, falling into the seat in the last row.

The white snake pounced on him regardless at an astonishing speed. Duan Anluo raised his hand to block it reflexively, but was tightly wrapped by the cold snake body.

"Si Cang! Stop it!" Duan Anluo's voice changed. "It's almost transformed into a dragon! It can strangle me to death with one force!"

Si Cang rarely saw Duan Anluo get frustrated, "Didn't you say snakes are cute and not scary?"

He did not notice the white snake's murderous intention towards Duan Anluo. Instead, he felt that it was very happy now, like a husky that had found its owner and just wanted to go up and act coquettishly.

He also didn't know why the white snake had such thoughts about Duan Anluo. He had raised it for so long, but it only served as a backrest for him. It wouldn't even wag its tail at him even if it fed a cow. What a heartless snake!

Duan Anluo wanted to take action, "It's too big! Pull it away quickly! Otherwise I'll beat it up!"

However, the expected feeling of suffocation did not come. After the white snake wrapped around him, it carefully rubbed its head against his cheek, hissing like a spoiled big dog sticking out its tongue.

Duan Anluo was stunned. The familiar feeling of intimacy made his heart beat faster. An indescribable emotion surged from the bottom of his heart. He stretched out his hand tentatively, and the white snake immediately put its head close and rubbed it gently on his palm.

"This feeling..." Duan Anluo's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, "You are..."

The white snake twisted its body excitedly, carefully tapped Duan Anluo's heart with the tip of its tail, then pointed at itself, its eyes flashing with human expectation.

It’s me!

Me!

Duan Anluo's eyes widened: "Xiaobai?! You are Xiaobai! How come you are so big!"

Being recognized, the white snake was so happy that it rubbed his face like a puppy.

Duan Anluo excitedly held up Xiaobai's head with both hands and rubbed it like a puppy's head, "Baby, how come you've grown so big? You're almost growing horns! Where is your real body? Has anyone bullied you after I left? Why are you with Si Cang?"

He didn't expect Xiaobai to live for so many years. He had raised so many spiritual beasts, but Xiaobai was the only one he had the least confidence in surviving because it had just begun to gain spiritual intelligence at that time.

If it survived, it should be the guardian beast of the Xuanmen house. How could it be with Si Cang?

Si Cang was a little jealous, "How long have you known each other?"

Duan Anluo pushed away the snake's head that came closer, "I used to raise it a long time ago."

Si Cang thought to himself, no wonder this snake couldn’t be tamed and wasn’t close to him.

Duan Anluo saw a red rune on Xiaobai's forehead, which was the mark of the contract. "Have you signed the master-servant contract?"

Xiaobai rubbed Duan Anluo's arm foolishly, its cold scales sticking to his skin, and the tip of its tail curled happily.

Duan Anluo sighed, reached out and held its head, gently tapping its horn with his fingertips. This silly snake, does it even understand what a master-servant contract is?

Once this contract is signed, the owner can decide its life or death in a moment, and it is only a matter of thought to make its soul fly away.

He had seen too many immortals who had cultivated spiritual power being deceived and enslaved by bad mystics, and having their last bit of value squeezed out of them. Not to mention achieving enlightenment, they didn't even have the chance to reincarnate.

Duan Anluo believed in Si Cang's character and disdained to do such a thing. Even so, he couldn't help but ask: "Si Cang, can I... redeem it?"

To Duan Anluo, Xiaobai is more than just a pet; he's the only family he's ever had. Five hundred years have passed, and nothing remains of Xuanmen, save Xiaobai.

Si Cang said calmly, "When I picked it up, it was covered in wounds and almost dead. I brought it back to raise as a dog."

He paused and added, "It doesn't do anything except eat and sleep, and occasionally serves as my backrest. It can eat two sheep in one meal, and I feed it at least one cow every month, but I don't see how close it is to me. If it is willing to go with you..."

Before Si Cang finished speaking, Xiaobai nodded the tip of its tail, indicating that it agreed!

Si Cang didn't say anything. What a heartless man!

Duan Anluo gently touched Xiaobai's head and whispered, "Why don't you just stay with him first? I'll come to see you often."

After all, he eats too much and he can't afford to support him now.

Xiaobai was stunned, his tail froze in mid-air, looking at him in disbelief: No, you just say you don’t want it?

It was so anxious that it swung its tail and directly wrapped around Si Cang's legs: Can't we just bring the meal ticket?

A long, long time ago, when it had just gained intelligence, it did not know what it meant to be missing.

It only knows that its family is missing, so it starts looking for them. It has no sense of time like humans, it goes looking for them when it is full, sleeps when it is tired, and even hibernates in winter. It doesn't dare to go to crowded places for fear of being caught.

It is different from humans. It has dull emotions and does not know how long five hundred years is. It only knows that it has been searching for a very long time. It does not know how many places it has searched, nor how many times it has hibernated. Most of the time it is not full, but Duan Anluo's breath is like a mark imprinted in its soul, and it has never given up.

Until it got into a fierce fight with a giant turtle over a hot spring where it could hibernate, and in the end, both were injured and dying in the snow. Si Cang appeared and picked it up.

Si Cang treated it very well. It could eat whatever it wanted and never had to fight again. If an enemy came, it didn't have to do anything because Si Cang would solve the problem on his own.

Now it finally found Duan Anluo, but it didn't want to leave Si Cang, its meal ticket.

Duan Anluo looked at its greedy appearance, smiled, and poked its forehead with his fingertips: "Xiaobai, you are too greedy."

Xiaobai kept pestering Duan Anluo and making a fuss. It still wanted to go with Duan Anluo. It didn't eat meat and it could stay hungry for a long time.

It doesn't need to eat in winter. The winter will be over after it takes a nap. At worst, it will sleep longer and eat less, and another half a year will pass.

Duan Anluo pinched the little bump on its head lovingly and said, "Silly child, not having enough to eat is a very long and painful experience."

The light from inside the car fell on Duan Anluo's profile, making his tea-red eyes look like melted amber. The look in his eyes was gentle and affectionate. He touched Xiaobai's head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was missing something, or reminiscing about a past dream.

Si Cang's gaze lingered on Duan Anluo's face, then he turned his head away. A strange feeling inexplicably rose in his heart. He suppressed it, his expression remaining cold. "Its name is now White Dragon. It has been registered with the guild and can be raised."

Duan Anluo's heart tightened and he looked at Si Cang with joy.

Si Cang paused for a moment before saying, "I'll send it to your home to raise for two months and I'll bring it food."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiaobai and warned him, "Hide well and don't come out to scare people."

Duan Anluo was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows curved, "What should I do? I owe you too much, and I can't pay it back anymore."

He thought about it, and said in a rare serious tone, "I won't tease you anymore. Let's just be friends."

Si Cang: “…”

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was crazy.

He came here in the middle of the night to be his bodyguard, and now he has to pay with a dragon snake that he had carefully raised for eight years!

Si Cang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. In the end, he could only think of one thing: Duan Anluo!

Duan Anluo's mind was completely focused on Xiaobai. He opened its mouth to check, "Have you brushed your teeth? Do they stink? Do you take a bath every day?"

Si Cang closed his eyes to rest, his ears filled with Duan Anluo's words, which kept him awake and made him even more irritated.

He became even more certain that Duan Anluo was his nemesis.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the big white goose finally returned. It jumped up and flapped its wings at the glass, "Master, we found it! It's in an old commercial street, in a handicraft shop run by an ugly boss. It's him!"

The goose looked irritable, pecking at the car door with its sharp beak. However, since it was a spirit, it didn't cause any significant damage. I felt a sense of helplessness, unable to vent my anger.

Duan Anluo got out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

"He killed one of my little brothers!" The big white goose gnashed its teeth in hatred. "The little mouse found him. We only realized something was wrong with that location after we found him disappear. He has only been practicing for three years and was just trying to make a living."

Duan Anluo cannot be blamed for this. This is their fate. All things are dominated by humans, and animals' cultivation is a battle for life against heaven.

The little brothers it brings with it may die at any time. They may be struck by lightning, trampled to death by passing practitioners, or eaten as food by natural enemies that have developed spiritual consciousness.

In the end, if only one person survived after a hundred years of cultivation, it would be a blessing from heaven. The higher you go, the harder it is.

It understands this truth, but it just can't accept it emotionally for the time being.

Among these sentient animals, it's rare to find one as human-like as the white goose. For a hundred years, they act entirely on instinct. When a companion is killed, their instinctive reaction is to eat it to replenish their spiritual power.

In fact, this was true. A small green snake among its companions ate the little mouse while it was still hot and there was still spiritual energy in its body. Youth has no price. The snake melted in its mouth and its companions were dazzled by the snake's fragrance.

Duan Anluo patted the goose on the head and said, "Let's go back and get revenge."

The big white goose shuddered, its small eyes filled with disbelief, "Are you really going to help us get revenge?"

"I was going to kill him anyway. Since we have the same goal, let's go together. A mouse's life is also a life."

Duan Anluo returned to the car and said, "Si Cang, don't sleep anymore, let's get down to business."

He found that Si Cang loved sleeping. Xiaobai must have been used to sleeping with him, so he fell asleep right away. The picture of a man and a snake together was quite unique.

The big white goose also got on the car, "I'll lead the way for you... Quack!!!"

Seeing such a large snake in the car, the animal's instinct made it scream in fear and flutter around in the car. Although its eyes are uniquely constructed and can see everything smaller, the snake is too big, and any smaller size is still much larger than it. It has a problem with its eyesight, but it is not stupid!

Si Cang pinched his eyebrows and swore that he would never go out with Duan Anluo again because he was too noisy.

Duan Anluo could only hold the snake with one hand and the goose with the other. He also swore that he would never work with Si Cang again. It was a mess and Si Cang's fate was definitely not compatible with him.

The two people who swore in their hearts that they would never cooperate again remained silent all the way until they reached the old commercial street that the big white goose mentioned.

After parking the car on the side of the road, they walked in. After about three minutes, the big white goose pointed with its wings at a closed and lighted craft shop and said firmly, "This is it."

The appearance of this store is no different from other stores. It has a uniform red sign with gold letters and five conspicuous large characters written on it: A Tao Handicraft Store.

As he reached the door of the shop, Duan Anluo faintly sensed that the aura coming from inside was abnormal. There were too many auras mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish what they were. Furthermore, they were tightly wrapped by external objects, and only a trace of them could be revealed. If one was not sensitive to spiritual energy, they would not be able to detect it at all.

Duan Anluo gave up. Since he couldn't find out what it was, he decided not to investigate anymore. No matter what it was, he would just kill it.

At this time, someone in the store suddenly said, "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The sound was rough and age-old, like someone filing wood with a file, extremely unpleasant.

The man was actually filing wood.

In the darkness, an ugly man was carving a mask, which was Duan Anluo's face.

He didn't turn on the lights and carved it bit by bit in the darkness. This face was so delicate, like a perfect work of art. In order to make it lifelike, every detail had to be carefully polished.

Duan Anluo heard the voice inside and took a step back. He looked up at Si Cang and said, "Bodyguards! Go!"

Si Cang wordlessly kicked the door open and took a step inside. Duan Anluo followed closely behind and said gracefully, "Sorry, Dad is late. The food you were waiting for is cold."

The man's carving hand paused, and his dark eyes looked over gloomily, "I'm going to pull out your tongue."

Duan Anluo shrugged, "If you can't pull it out, you're my grandson."

When he saw the other person's face, Duan Anluo finally understood why the big white goose said he was ugly. He was really so ugly that it was unbearable to look at. The skin on his face was like the bark of an old tree.

Duan Anluo added, "You are so ugly and your voice is so unpleasant. You should stop talking and scare the geese."

The man put down the mask in his hand and slowly stood up. He was very tall, about the same height as Si Cang, and gave people a feeling of being shaky and unsteady.

He looked at Duan Anluo's face and said word by word, "You can't bear the name Duan Anluo."

Duan Anluo felt strange, "Why can't I scream?"

The other party's voice was hoarse. "Because this is the master's taboo, you are not worthy. Over the years, so many Duan Anluo have died. If you don't have some ability, you don't deserve to be called this name. Now, either I kill you, or you kill me, keep getting stronger, make yourself worthy of this name, and then let the master kill you."

Duan Anluo was so excited!

He wondered if that master was his former enemy. He thought carefully: had he beaten all those enemies to death? Had he beaten them to death? With the Xuan Sect in such a state now, had some of them slipped through the net and taken brutal revenge on them after his death?

Duan Anluo imagined the scene of his own son Yuan'er being hungry and cold as a child, and even being unable to compete with stray dogs when begging. Duan Anluo got angry and said, "Si Cang, go!"

Si Cang:?

Duan Anluo suddenly remembered that they were friends now. He raised his hand to block Si Cang behind him, "You step back, I'll go first."

Si Cang took several steps back knowing the situation and said, "I'll retreat."

Duan Anluo was stunned. "No, you really quit? You weren't so obedient when I asked for money."

Si Cang had a blank expression on his face, as if he couldn't understand his accusation.

Duan Anluo had no choice but to take a step forward and raise his hand. The spiritual energy at his fingertips began to jump. He raised his finger and drew talismans in the air. Seven talismans were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper in the air. The Xuanmen secret technique of the Seven Star Soul Locking Formation was set up in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, all the carvings in the store were shaking, as if someone had pressed the start button, and the masks, wood carvings, and puppets all turned towards Duan Anluo.

The man taunted, "You actually know about formations, but I don't know how effective they are."

Duan Anluo didn't respond. A great netizen once said: The villain dies because he talks too much.

He is particularly obedient to advice and will wait until he kills the other person before talking about anything. That way, the other person will not talk back to him no matter what he says.

The seven stars change, and the killing formation begins!

The rain of arrows formed by spiritual energy was aimed densely at the man. Si Cang, who had been observing Duan Anluo's attack, saw for the first time someone with such abnormal control of spiritual power, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The man trapped in the formation thought about it, and the wooden sculpture automatically blocked in front of him. Unfortunately, he still underestimated Duan Anluo's control over spiritual energy. The arrow turned 90 degrees and attracted the man's attention, but the arrow behind him had already arrived.

He passed through the ground and headed straight for the opponent's heart, neck, and brain. All the vital parts were Duan Anluo's main targets of attack.

The man barely dodged this round of attacks and instantly felt a sense of oppression from his soul. He looked up and saw a large black seal pressing down on his head.

The evil aura attached to it was not an ordinary evil aura. Instead, it carried a pressure on the soul. The extremely dangerous feeling reminded him of the clone who was beheaded by Duan Anluo with a single knife. As long as he was hit, he would be sucked away by the other party, and there would not even be a chance for reunion.

He hurriedly tried to block the seal, so his defense naturally had a loophole. Duan Anluo shot an arrow through his heart, followed by his head, abdomen, and limbs... The spiritual energy pierced through and then exploded inside his body. With a bang, his body exploded into pieces.

As the pieces of flesh fell to the ground, Duan Anluo felt something was wrong. He could tell from the sound of the arrow piercing his body. The pitting and banging sounds did not sound like something passing through a human body, but rather like something passing through wood.

Immediately afterwards, another puppet stood up. Duan Anluo suddenly had an idea and smashed the black seal down directly. The seal was hollow, but the surface was made big and covered with a layer of black gas. The advantage was that the speed was fast enough, and the wooden man who had just climbed up was smashed into pieces again.

Duan Anluo's face still didn't show any joy of victory. "You are that peach tree, right? You made your own body into a sculpture, used their bodies as nutrients, and then corrupted their families, using their families as your nutrients. You are so disgusting. Shit is not enough for you, so you started eating people."

After being killed twice in a row, the man was completely furious.

Oh! Heaven is so cruel, it favors humans so much. After hundreds of years of wind and sun, it finally developed a little spiritual consciousness, but Heaven arranged all kinds of accidents to destroy it.

Only when you are on the verge of death do you realize that staying alive is the deepest obsession engraved in your bones.

Even ants are afraid of death, so why can't he?

When he was about to die, he realized that human flesh and blood and the obsession before death could provide nutrition, and from then on he tasted the sweetness. He did not kill people directly, but fulfilled their wishes. The other party gave his body as nutrition for him. It was so fair, what was wrong with him?

The whole store made a creaking sound, and countless branches grew out from the wall. Duan Anluo put two fingers together and threw two talismans up again.

Seven stars become nine stars, Tianpeng, Tianrui, Tianchong, Tianfu, Tianqin, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Tianren and Tianying, nine stars in a row!

Zhifu, Gengshe, Taiyin, Liuhe, Gouchen, Taichang, Zhuque, Jiudi, Jiutian, Yangdun moves forward, and the nine gods return to their positions!

After setting up the formation, Duan Anluo discovered that the store could no longer withstand such powerful spiritual power. The entire building was shaking, and even the two surrounding shops were shaking.

More importantly, this place is too small and he can't dance freely!

This formation needs to be set up in a large area and use the power of the stars to bring out its full advantages.

More and more branches attacked. Duan Anluo used his spiritual energy to block a few of them. Then he saw the puppets standing in the corner rushing towards him with knives. There were too many of them! They were coming from all directions! He could even feel something moving under his feet.

The most important thing is that there are thorns on the branches. You can tell at a glance that it will definitely hurt if you hit them.

Duan Anluo cursed in his heart, this dog peach tree is not serious, he has thorns! I don’t know if the peach tree is cheating or the date tree is cheating, anyway, it’s a scumbag.

Duan Anluo didn't pause for a second, wishing he could flash and pounce on Si Cang, "If you don't do it soon, I'll dock your salary!"

Si Cang was shocked by Duan Anluo's ability. He didn't expect that the person who could move the stars just now would rush towards him with a frightened look on his face.

Si Cang subconsciously caught him, and with one hand, he picked up a piece of wood from the door behind him, wrapped it with spiritual power, and blocked all attacks for Duan Anluo.

Looking at Duan Anluo's frightened expression, Si Cang laughed out of anger, "Can you be more reliable?"

"I've already paid for you to come and see the show?" Duan Anluo was also anxious. What else could he do? He wasn't good at fighting to begin with. He was good at beating demons, ghosts, and fortune-telling, but he couldn't fight anything with a body.

He knew his own strengths and weaknesses, otherwise why would he ask Si Cang to come?

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it, or I'll dock your salary."

Si Cang let him go. The touch in his hand was still there. Her waist was so thin that he could measure it with one hand. Letting him go was really embarrassing for him. "Do you have anything else to ask? It's not too late to ask now."

Duan Anluo showed a pair of eyes behind Si Cang, "Who is your master, that wooden man? Do you have a grudge against me?"

The voices came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where they were hiding. However, the sarcastic voices were clearly heard, "Are you worthy enough to have a grudge against him? Anyone named Duan Anluo must die!"

Duan Anluo pointed his finger and said, "Let him die."

Before he finished speaking, Si Cang beside him had disappeared. Duan Anluo only saw an afterimage. Before the dozen or so puppets surrounding him could react, a black line as thin as a hair appeared from the center of the eyebrows to the hips.

The next second, black flames gushed out from the crack, burning the puppet and the vengeful spirit attached to it into ashes.

Si Cang swung the wooden strip that was removed from the door, and then inserted it directly into the ground. It was obviously a wooden board and looked very thin, but it pierced through the marble floor and penetrated more than one meter.

With his push and lift, the entire store floor was lifted up, and even the house was lifted up.

In a large pit seven or eight meters wide underground, black old tree roots are intricately intertwined. The air is filled with not only the smell of earth, but also the smell of rotten meat, which has spread to the basements of the two houses next door.

Si Cang inserted the piece of wood in his hand, and the smell of burnt wood and the stench of burning rotten meat came from below. Even from such a distance, Duan Anluo could still feel the burning pain in his soul, as if it was being roasted by fire.

No wonder Si Cang said that if he didn’t ask, there would be no chance, it happened too fast!

He felt embarrassed to keep watching, so he simply pointed his finger, and the talisman above his head fell down and turned into lightning and struck down.

Evil spirits are most afraid of thunder. Many demons who have practiced for thousands of years have had their opportunities cut off by the thunder of heaven. This thunder, combined with the black flame in Si Cang's hand, merged together, and with a loud bang, the store exploded.

Duan Anluo looked at both sides again. One was selling bracelets and the other was selling milk tea. It was over, they were all gone!

Si Cang threw the wood chip and looked at Duan Anluo speechlessly. He was still down there, and the sickly guy dared to throw a bomb. The words Duan Anluo said to him immediately popped up in his mind: Do you want to murder your husband?

Duan Anluo was already numb, pointing at the shops on both sides and wanting to cry. The little money he had was definitely not enough to pay the compensation, he was going to die.

Even the little white goose and the big white goose who were peeking outside shook their heads. They were too fierce! These two were too fierce!

Si Cang took out his phone expressionlessly and told Duan Anluo: "Don't panic, I have experience."

Then, under Duan Anluo's expectant gaze, Si Cang called the sleeping president and said, "I just demolished three stores. Please send someone to compensate us. I've sent you the location."

The president, who was awakened from his sleep and still hadn't regained consciousness, said after a brief silence: "...I will kill you two sinful living fathers!"

Si Cang calmly gestured to Duan Anluo that the problem had been solved.

After a few seconds of silence, Duan Anluo gestured OK and said, "Well done!"

Before anyone else arrived, Duan Anluo jumped into the pit and made sure the old tree was dead. He felt relieved. He spotted a piece of unburned peach wood in the ashes, picked it up, and weighed it. Satisfied, he took it home to make a real peach wood sword for his young disciple.

Then he continued to scrape the ash with the piece of wood. Si Cang asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Baby," Duan Anluo continued to search, "Aren't you curious? How did this peach tree spirit hide its aura and avoid the guild's inspection?"

Si Cang yawned. He was sleepy and not interested.

"Found it!" Duan Anluo's cheerful voice came from under his feet, "Is this the thing that hides the aura? Honey, go back and find out how to use it. Is it something that belongs to that owner? I'm quite curious about who that owner is."

Si Cang lowered his head, but before he could see what it was, Duan Anluo grabbed his hand and pulled him out, "What are you daydreaming about? Run!"

You got into trouble and you're not running away. Are you waiting to be caught by the president and taught a lesson?
