Several hours later, Zhao Xi hurriedly landed on the top of the Hundred Beasts Garden.
She took off her heavy cotton coat, put on a light dress, let her shoulder-length black hair fall loosely over her shoulders, took a breath of the spiritual energy at the top of the main mountain, and felt as if she had come back to life.
When I handed the spirit herb to the little fairy boy, I saw Pang Zhiyuan practicing swordplay for the children inside a protective circle of trees.
His movements were graceful and unrestrained. He used himself as a sword to lightly touch the trees, and several deep marks appeared on the trees.
The spiritual energy could even transform into several glowing short swords, which were then fired outwards, cutting down many tree branches.
The little fairy despises people who damage greenery, but the kids love watching it.
To protect the cubs from accidental injury, the little fairy had no choice but to follow behind Pang Zhiyuan. For every tree he cut down, she planted the same tree. She even used branches to protect the cat owner and the cubs on the trees, protecting them from Pang Zhiyuan's sword energy.
Then Zhao Xi saw the Sword Immortal's disciple stepping on the tree trunk and gently landing in front of her. He glanced at the large handful of spirit herbs in the little earth fairy boy's hands and said aggressively, "What do you mean you didn't find the Spirit Snow Rabbit?! How could such a large snow mountain not have a single Spirit Snow Rabbit?!"
Zhao Xi frowned slightly. "It means exactly what it says. We haven't found the Spirit Snow Rabbit."
After giving a brief reply, he turned to Atu and asked, "Where's Tongyue?"
Atu pointed to the stronghold of the Kangnan demon clan on Zhuque Mountain.
"Never mind, let's not invite her for now." Zhao Xi changed her mind at the last minute. "Let's invite Lord Haiye to the study for a gathering. Only he needs to come."
As she was about to walk towards the treehouse, Pang Zhiyuan stepped forward and blocked her path, his sword energy not even having time to retract.
"stop!"
Zhao Xi didn't want to be injured by the sword energy, but she didn't want Pang Zhiyuan to discover that she could resist it, so she hurriedly used a talisman to shield herself.
Atu immediately came to her side and sprouted tree branches to block the sword energy.
Ah Feng also appeared out of thin air, forming a transparent layer of wind spirit energy with wind blades.
Zhao Xi glared at Pang Zhiyuan: "What does the Immortal intend to do?"
"Ha, you take the benefits and then kick people aside! I bought that prescription at a high price, and I found the map of the Spirit Snow Rabbit after gathering countless intelligence. You must have known that the Spirit Snow Rabbit was worth more than a top-grade spiritual treasure, and you pocketed it!"
Pang Zhiyuan controlled his emotions, withdrew his spiritual energy, took out his fan, and waved it vigorously in anger.
"We didn't get any. There are no Spirit Snow Rabbits where your map points. The Great Snow Mountain is a desolate place, so why would spirit plants grow there?"
Zhao Xi narrowed her eyes, cupped her hands in greeting, and chuckled, "I really didn't expect that Immortal Pang, who treats even a small mouse like a baby, would go to such lengths for the Firelight Beast siblings and buy their prescription at such a high price?"
"this……"
Pang Zhiyuan realized she had misspoke, her eyes flashing with a seductive glint as she waved her fan and raised her voice as if she had suffered a great injustice, "That's because I, this immortal, am beautiful inside and out! What, is it wrong for me, this immortal, to do good deeds and care for the little monsters in your Hundred Beast Garden? Fine, then next time I won't lend a hand, let them do whatever they want!"
Boring.
Earlier, it was discovered that Pang Zhiyuan was not sticking to Lin Che, which must mean something was wrong.
Now that he's so desperately trying to dislike the Snow Rabbit, his ambition is obvious.
But she also had her doubts.
Why didn't Pang Zhiyuan go find the spiritual plant himself, but instead made her go?
Zhao Xi wanted to agree, saying, "Perhaps the map is correct, and someone else got there first, like the Spirit Snow Rabbit. If you think I'm wrong, you can go and investigate for yourself. I'm sure that with your level of cultivation, it won't take too long for you to go back and forth."
Pang Zhiyuan frowned, awkwardly waved her fan, hummed, and lightly descended the mountain with a light touch of her toes.
Did he run away?
Zhao Xi was speechless.
The children were curious about the argument between the two and jumped down from the tree to listen to Zhao Xixiang's conversation.
The pet owners quickly hugged them and moved aside.
Zhao Xi wanted to hand over the beast-taming ring containing the yak demon beast to Mei'er and Wanwan so they could keep it as a reward for the children. Then she quickly walked back to the treehouse.
Inside the treehouse.
Haiye had already arrived. Upon seeing her, he showed no trace of the demeanor of a demon leader and bowed respectfully.
"Please sit down!" Zhao Xi wanted to tell her not to be so polite, but instructed Feng Xiaoxian Tong, "Ah Feng, don't make tea. I need you to help me find the secret passage in the Immortal Realm."
She sat down in the main seat and told Haiye about how Xiao Jia had hunted yaks but coincidentally picked up a cousin, and then left without saying goodbye to go to the Immortal Realm the next day.
"So?" Haiye held the teacup, frowning. "A secret passage in the Middle Immortal Realm? I've never heard of such a thing."
"I didn't come to you to ask about this." Zhao Xi slapped the table and asked, "Clan Chief, are you aware that Tongyue likes Xiaojia?"
"Pfft." Haiye almost spat out her tea, her face a mixture of shock, embarrassment, and mockery.
Zhao Xi frowned: "This is a very serious matter!"
Haiye coughed and said in a childish voice, "Headmaster, every cultivator's cultivation speed is different. Cultivators only consider this when they become adults!"
"Isn't Tongyue all grown up now?! And Xiaojia isn't a little kid anymore!"
Haiye was both amused and exasperated.
He looks like a five or six-year-old child right now, he doesn't want to think about this at all!
Only a psychopath would do that!
Zhao Xi, wanting to be serious, slammed her hand on the table and said, "After much thought, we can't let Tongyue go alone. If this is Xiaojia's plan, her going will disrupt it and make her look stupid. But if we don't interfere, what if it's true, and Xiaojia has a family outside? What if his wife and daughter come to the Hundred Beasts Garden for help later? How will Tongyue face that? That idiot doesn't understand romance at all; he hasn't seen through Tongyue's intentions!"
"Headmistress."
The door to the treehouse was suddenly pushed open.
The room was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Tongyue, dressed in blue and carrying a basket of rapeseed flowers, arrived on her sword, looking travel-worn. "I heard what you said. I'll go by myself; you don't need to worry about me."
Zhao Xi thought, "But..."
A smile appeared on Tongyue's beautiful face: "It's alright. If this is true, I will make my feelings clear before Xiaojia becomes a Daoist partner with someone else, and then leave him so as not to make things difficult for him. If this is false, I will secretly follow him, and if he really doesn't see through it, I will help him."
She put down her shopping basket, bowed to Zhao Xi, and said, "Director Zhao, I have always been learning from you."
Zhao Xi was surprised.
Tongyue raised the corners of her mouth, turned her head and looked out the window at the scenery outside the mountain: "Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, summer insects do not live for more than three seasons, mortals live for a mere hundred years, and how many cultivators can live as long as the heavens? Since I admire him, I should like the headmistress like I like the teacher, and like him without being coy."
After listening, Zhao Xi rubbed her forehead and smiled with relief.
She was overthinking it.
This is Tongyue's own feeling.
Little Jia has grown up; he's not the little kid he used to be.
She should trust them.
"Alright, once Ah Feng has found out about the Central Immortal Realm, you can set off. Be careful, I'll wait for your news here!"
