Chapter 212 Master, I'm Back
Xie Zaozao originally wanted to ask the system what this cat could do, but the system just pretended to be dead and didn't say a word.
Xie Zao Zao took the kitten down and threw it on the road, but the kitten refused to let go and kept clinging to her hand.
Xie Zao Zao said: "If you don't let go, I'll castrate you."
The kitten ignored her and jumped onto her shoulder again, lying there motionless.
The system said, "Hurry up and get down to business. It's not heavy, so you can stay here if you want."
Xie Zaozao didn't think of delaying and flew directly towards his own sect on his sword.
"What can this cat do?"
The system thought to itself, how can I know what it can do? At present, it seems to be of no use except making a scarf!
At that time, Fu Yanzhi's body was unconscious, but his mind was not conscious. He attached himself to a little white cat and insisted on following Xie Zaozao.
How could the system know what Mr. Fu, who was only conscious, would do?
After hesitating for a while, it said, "It... can lick its own fur?"
The cat lying on Xie Zaozao's shoulder meowed in dissatisfaction and licked its sharp claws.
The system shut up silently.
Xie Zaozao was too lazy to care about this matter, she was anxious to return to the sect.
In addition to finding the lotus and crushing it, he also had to find a way to save Fu Yanzhi.
But when she reached the sect's gate, she suddenly hid herself.
From a distance, she saw a row of monks in white robes standing at the gate. They were her former fellow disciples.
These people were also present during the encirclement and suppression campaign. I wonder how they feel about themselves now. Do they want to be killed as soon as possible, or are they acting like their master?
Xie Zao Zao couldn't be sure.
So she disguised herself as a young man in white, pretending to be ignorant, and walked towards the sect.
The one who stopped her in the sect was her senior brother, named Song Ranqiu. Song Ranqiu was a kind person and very popular in the sect. He was an elder who took care of everyone in a friendly manner.
But Song Ranqiu has always been lukewarm towards her, and she doesn't know why.
But when she was surrounded and attacked, he was the only one in the sect who spoke up for her. The other brothers had no feelings for her at all because she practiced the ruthless way.
Now when Xie Zaozao sees his old friend, he doesn't feel anything.
It was precisely because of this lack of feeling that she felt terrible.
It's that terrible feeling when something is right in front of you and you think you will definitely sigh, but you don't feel anything at all.
What's worse is that she didn't even feel that bad feeling, she just knew that she should feel bad at this time.
She walked straight up to Song Ranqiu and whispered, "Master, I want to become your disciple. Could you take me to see Qingyue Jun?"
Song Ranqiu was not surprised that the other party knew the title of Master. Qingyue Jun often went down the mountain to eliminate demons, and many common people knew him.
Every now and then, someone would come to ask to be his disciple.
Song Ranqiu asked about her background.
"Are your parents and relatives here?"
“No.”
"Why cultivate immortality?"
"To have enough food to eat."
Song Ranqiu asked a few more questions, including where he lived, what the surrounding scenery was like, and whether there were any familiar people there.
Xie Zao Zao answered all the questions one by one without any flaws. When talking about her residence, she specifically mentioned where she used to live.
After hearing about that place, Song Ranqiu was fascinated. After a moment, he asked her, "Do you know the Xie family?"
Xie Zaozao said, "My parents seemed to have mentioned it before, but I haven't heard about it since."
Song Ranqiu said, "Fewer and fewer people remember Junior Sister now."
The voice was calm and no emotion could be heard.
The person next to him said, "Big Brother, don't mention that person. The dirty water she threw at our sect has not been cleared up yet."
Song Ranqiu: "What dirty water are you talking about? That day you went down the mountain to exorcise demons, but ended up secretly going to the Lantern Festival with that family's daughter. Does that count as throwing dirty water on the sect?"
The disciple was startled: "Big Brother, you, don't talk nonsense, I just took her to investigate, not to do anything else."
Although he said so, he still didn't dare to continue to argue and shut up awkwardly.
Song Ranqiu said, "My master is not busy today. Please come with me to the guest room to rest. We will see him another day."
Xie Zaozao was not surprised. Qingyue Jun would meet with the common people once in a while. Sometimes, if someone came and insisted on waiting, the sect would arrange accommodation for them.
This was exactly what she wanted, to take advantage of this opportunity to stay here and look for her lotus.

As the two walked along, the road became more and more familiar, but there were also some strange places.
When Xie Zaozao was practicing here, he either listened to lectures or practiced, or rested in his residence when he was injured or exhausted.
So she seldom visited other places. Occasionally she would take the wrong road once or twice, and then she would look at the birds singing, flowers blooming, carved beams and painted pillars everywhere, and each place was different.
But now, everything here looks familiar to her, as if someone had deliberately changed the road.
Xie stopped early and stayed in this familiar place for a while.
System text: "What's wrong?"
Xie Zao Zao shook his head and continued walking.
Instead, the little white cat on her shoulder meowed and rubbed her cheek.
Song Ranqiu took her to the guest room to sleep and told her: "If you have any problems, you can come to the school to find me at any time."
Xie Zao Zao nodded. After Song Ranqiu left, she began to think about how to avoid her master from finding her lotus.
The system couldn't help but interrupt: "Have you ever thought that your lotus might have been lost?"
Xie Zao Zao felt that this was a possibility.
First, I took the system for a walk in the suburban woods where garbage was thrown away.
The little white cat stood up somewhat dissatisfiedly, licked Xie Zaozao's face, and meowed.
Xie Zaozao: "Are you hungry?"
Little white cat: “…”
The system heard Fu Yanzhi's cold voice in its mind: "Tell her that the owner of the lotus is immortal. Even if it is abandoned, it will not wither and rot. It can always be found."
System: "So your flower didn't die even after being sewn to pieces? So you didn't want to grow cauliflower because your flower was still usable?"
Fu Yanzhi: "..."

Xie Zao Zao searched the suburbs but found nothing.
She analyzed it for a long time in the evening and thought that her master was a lazy person and might have just thrown the flowers away at his residence if he didn't want them anymore.
So she decided to visit Qingyuejun's residence, Lanyue Pavilion, at night.
Late at night, she sneaked to the gate of Lanyue Pavilion, jumped onto the beam and walked all the way to the courtyard, where she saw Qingyue Jun sitting in the small pavilion in the main courtyard meditating and regulating his breathing.
She secretly thanked her luck and was about to turn around to look for her lotus somewhere else, but she saw a black shadow rushing towards Qingyue Jun in the darkness.
Xie Zao Zao subconsciously unsheathed Jun Hua and directly killed the black shadow.
The black shadow lying on the ground was a giant centipede that had been cut into several pieces.
But after taking action, I realized that I shouldn't have taken action.
And Qingyuejun finally discovered the person on the beam.
"Is it early?"
