Rong Jiaojiao was already starving, and her eyes lit up when she saw the food.
Qing Xuanzi gently put her down and let her sit beside him. When the villagers saw this, they quickly served them rice.
Everyone sat down at the table. Wu Hui took out some wine and wanted to invite Qing Xuanzi and the members of the metaphysics group to drink, but they all declined, saying they had missions to complete.
No alcohol was consumed, and the meal was finished quickly.
Qing Xuanzi then told Pan Hao and the others what had happened. When he heard that the demon spirit was injured and had hidden inside the mountain demon's body, he was somewhat surprised, but not too unexpected.
Because their Xuanmen group has encountered this phenomenon far too many times.
After thanking Qing Xuanzi, he said to Wu Xingci, "Brother Wu, we'll have to trouble you to take us to the cave!"
Then he turned to Qing Xuanzi and said, "It's not that we don't trust you, senior, but it's our duty to go and confirm that there are no future problems."
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, it's good that you go and check, after all, it's your duty."
Wu Xinci nodded and said, "Father, then I'll take you all to the cave now?"
Wu Hui nodded: "Be careful, stay with Team Leader Pan and the others, and don't wander off."
Wu Xinci nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I know."
Pan Hao nodded to everyone and followed Wu Xingci out of the village.
Qing Xuanzi also bid farewell to Wu Hui and the others.
Knowing that Qing Xuanzi did not wish to stay any longer, the Wu family members did not try to persuade him to stay, but instead sent him out of the village.
When Pan Hao and the others returned, they were quite disappointed to learn that Qing Xuanzi had already left. He was even thinking about whether he could exchange some powerful talismans with Qing Xuanzi!
Wu Hui was too embarrassed to ask in front of Qing Xuanzi, but now that he was gone, he asked Pan Hao, "Captain Pan seems to have great respect for Master Qing Xuan, but do you know him?"
Pan Hao shook his head: "Actually, this is also my first time meeting Senior Qingxuan. However, most of us in the metaphysics group have heard of his great name. Senior Qingxuan is a genius of the Xuanqing Sect of the Snowfield Immortal Mountain. He has profound cultivation, is upright, and his talisman-making skills are even more outstanding. He is a role model for us in the metaphysics sect."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hui felt even more admiration for Qing Xuanzi: "So that's how it is. No wonder your magic is so amazing. Thanks to your help this time, our Wu Family Village was able to stay safe."
Pan Hao nodded: "Yes, Senior Qingxuan's strength is indeed very strong. Our metaphysics group will definitely report this matter truthfully, and Senior's contribution will definitely be recorded."
Wu Hui said, "That's great. By the way, Captain Pan, what are your plans next?"
"We will set up a temporary monitoring point here to observe for a period of time and ensure that no abnormalities occur. If everything is normal, we will evacuate."
Wu Hui nodded, feeling more at ease. She said, "That's good. If there's anything we can help you with, just let us know."
"Chief Wu, you're too kind. We'll try our best not to cause you any trouble. Please let us know if anything unusual happens."
Wu Hui nodded: "Okay, we will."
After leaving, Qing Xuanzi and his group, who were being thought of, continued their journey towards the capital. After traveling some distance, Qing Xuanzi gave the Yuanli Zhuguo Tree to Rong Jiaojiao: "Jiaobao, you keep it."
"Yes, Master."
Without her making any move, the Yuanli Zhuguo Tree disappeared.
After Rong Jiaojiao took the Zhu Guo Tree into her little secret realm, she immediately planted it and then winked at Qing Xuanzi.
Qing Xuanzi looked into Rong Jiaojiao's bright, lively eyes; she was asking for praise!
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, ruffled her hair, and praised, "Jiaojiao is so great!"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled, her eyes crinkling. Qing Xuanzi chuckled, flicked her forehead, and strode forward. The little girl channeled her energy and gave chase...
Three days later, the master and disciple finally emerged from the deep mountains and entered the shallow forest. Qing Xuanzi said to Xiao Jin, "Once we get here, we'll often encounter people. You should go to the spirit beast bag!"
Although Xiao Jin was unwilling, she knew the fear that those weak humans had of snakes, so she could only nod and obediently go inside.
Rong Jiaojiao asked Qing Xuanzi, "Master, what should we do about Zi Ling?"
Qing Xuanzi also gave her a spirit beast pouch: "You should let it in too, otherwise if someone sees it and thinks it's cute, they'll snatch it away."
Qing Xuanzi handed the spirit beast pouch to Rong Jiaojiao and taught her how to use it.
The little girl took the bag and carefully put Zi Ling inside.
Although Zi Ling was somewhat reluctant, seeing Qing Xuanzi's unyielding expression, she obediently crawled inside.
It knew that Qingxuanzi was protecting it and didn't want it to cause trouble outside.
"Master, will Ziling feel suffocated inside?" Rong Jiaojiao asked with some concern.
Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the spirit beast pouch has a special formation that circulates the air, so Zi Ling won't feel uncomfortable inside." He paused and added, "Besides, we'll be arriving in the capital soon, and then Zi Ling can come out for some fresh air."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, hung the spirit beast bag on her waist, and then touched the bag again to make sure that Zi Ling was safe inside.
The master and his apprentice continued on their way, passing through a shallow forest and arriving at an open field.
It is harvest season now, and farmers are working hard. In the distance, smoke rises from the village chimneys, creating a peaceful and serene scene.
Qing Xuanzi led Rong Jiaojiao along the path. Passersby occasionally cast curious glances at them, but Qing Xuanzi and Rong Jiaojiao were only focused on getting on their way and ignored their stares.
"Master, when will we arrive in the capital?" Rong Jiaojiao asked impatiently.
Qing Xuanzi glanced at the sky and said, "At this rate, we should arrive by noon tomorrow." He paused, then added, "The capital is a very big place with many fun things to do. We'll explore it thoroughly then."
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. She couldn't imagine the bustling scene of the capital, but she was full of anticipation and longing for all the fun things.
She spent most of her childhood living with her master in the deep mountains and was full of curiosity about the outside world.
The master and apprentice continued their journey. Along the way, Rong Jiaojiao would occasionally ask questions about the capital, which Qing Xuanzi patiently answered one by one.
In the evening, they stayed overnight in a small town near Beijing.
The next day, after they got up and washed, Qing Xuanzi took out some pretty clothes for Rong Jiaojiao to change into, and then took her on a bus into the city.
On the bus, most of the passengers were ordinary people dressed simply, some even in work uniforms...
The carriage was filled with a simple and honest atmosphere. Occasionally, you could hear people talking in Mandarin with local accents. The topics were mostly about the family's harvest, job opportunities in the city, or recent trivial matters in life.
