Kong Ju, carrying a bundle of lark eggs on his shoulders, stood at the street corner with Huangfu Wuqin, looking at the bustling street in front of them, his face full of nostalgia.

"Unconsciously, two years have passed since I said goodbye to Mu Xiaoye and his father in Xiangming County."

Kong Ju chuckled, his tone full of emotion.

After saying this, he couldn't help but close his eyes as he hadn't seen the world of fireworks for a long time, and took a deep breath of the fireworks in this city.

Because Kong Ju insisted on coming to Xiangming County, Master Dongxian and his disciple parted ways with him as soon as they entered the territory of Cangwu Sect.

After all, Xiangming County is under the jurisdiction of the Cangwu Sect. There are monks from the sect stationed there and the city is guarded by formations, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Of course, the main reason is that Kong Ju has Huangfu Wuqin by his side, so as long as there are no particularly difficult characters, he can handle it.

"Senior Sister Huangfu, do you want to go look around? I will come to find you after I finish visiting my old friends." Kong Ju tightened the bag on his shoulders and winked at Huangfu Wuqin beside him.

"There's nothing to see. I've been out playing for a few months and I've had enough." Huangfu Wuqin stretched lazily, a hint of satisfaction on her pretty face.

"Let me go and see your old friend."

“I’m also curious about who this person is who made Shenglongji, ranked 20th on the Hidden Dragon List, go all the way to come and see him.”

"He's not a big shot, just a kid." Kong Ju smiled as he recalled Mu Xiaoye's cute appearance two years ago.

"I don't know how much I've grown in the past two years."

Mu Xiaoye is the junior sister of Guanghan Palace recognized by Kong Ju, and is deeply loved by Kong Ju, so it is only natural for her to come and visit.

Having said that, Kong Ju identified the direction and took Huangfu Wuqin to the street where Mu Xiaoye and his father lived.

Along the way, Huangfu Wuqin's outstanding appearance and temperament attracted the attention of many mortals. Even many disciples of the Cangwu School who were responsible for guarding Xiangming County were secretly paying attention to the whereabouts of the two.

Of course, there was no way those disciples lurking in secret could escape the eyes of Kong Ju and Huangfu Wuqin, but the two were too lazy to get entangled with them and just hurried on their way.

"Xiao Ye!" In front of the simple wooden door, Kong Ju gently knocked on the door and called Mu Xiaoye's name.

After the break time passed, Kong Ju had no choice but to knock on the door again without getting a response. This time he called Makita's name.

"Is Brother Pastor here?"

Huangfu Wuqin was standing behind Kong Ju. After the latter knocked on the door for a long time without receiving a response, a golden light flashed in his pupils, as if he was spying on the situation inside the house.

"There's no one inside!" Huangfu Wuqin reminded Kong Ju.

Upon hearing this, Kong Ju also secretly spread out his spiritual awareness.

With his current spiritual power, he can already cover an area of ​​forty meters in radius, completely encompassing the entire courtyard.

Sure enough, he did not sense any human breath from his spiritual sense.

On the contrary, Kong Ju discovered through his spiritual sense that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, as if no one had lived there for a long time.

"Moving?" This made Kong Ju frown and he pushed open the door directly.

As far as the eye could see, the entire courtyard was deserted.

The overwhelming scene gave Kong Qi a bad feeling.

Huangfu Wuqin did not go in, but disappeared at the door in a flash.

When he appeared again, he was holding a disciple of the Cangwu sect who was following them.

The disciple was quite old, had a beard, and his cultivation level was at the fifth level of Yanglun. Those who could be sent to the outside world to guard the city were not talented disciples.

When he was caught by Huangfu Wuqin, he was obviously still in a daze and didn't react at all.

It was not until he saw Kong Ju's figure in the courtyard and Huangfu Wuqin carrying him that he came to his senses and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Subconsciously, I wanted to escape and send out a signal flare for help.

At this time, Huangfu Wuqin had already put him down and threw his inner disciple badge into his arms.

"So you're the sect's envoy." Upon seeing the badge, the outer disciple's expression calmed down and he returned it respectfully to Huangfu Wuqin.

"I wonder what the envoy has come to Xiangming County for."

"The inner sect disciple's badge is really useful." Kong Jue saw this and understood Huangfu Wuqin's idea. After walking out of the courtyard, he bowed to the man and asked, "Does this senior brother know where the grandfather and grandson Mutian who live here are now?"

"So you two are here to see our pastor brother." The disciple immediately understood their purpose and then a hint of hesitation emerged on his face. He thought for a moment before deciding on the right words.

"Please accept my condolences, Senior Brother Makita passed away a year ago."

Kong Ju heard this, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice: "Who killed him?"

When I left, Mutian was still in good health. As a cultivator, even if Mutian's cultivation was not high, it was impossible for him to die so soon.

Kong Ju had no idea how terrifyingly oppressive he was to others.

With just a glare, his aura of captivating power was revealed uncontrollably, frightening the cultivator so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He explained in a trembling voice, "He was not murdered. Senior Brother Mutian missed his deceased son and wanted to go to Qingshi Town to bring back his son's remains to Xiangming County. He went to Beiling County alone a year ago and encountered a disaster on the way."

"The envoy knows. That place experienced the Blood Robe Alliance Rebellion and was suppressed by the sect. Too many people died. Now the resentment is overwhelming, and naturally some evil things have been bred. Ordinary monks will be in trouble if they encounter them. Although the pastor brother escaped, he was also seriously injured and died within two days."

This news made Kong Ju feel depressed. After all, Mutian had a past relationship with him.

When I was in the outer sect of Cangwu Sect, he often helped me to attract spiritual farmers to take care of my pest control business, and we also had the friendship of the Blood Robe Alliance.

"I didn't expect that brother Pastor is so unlucky." Kong Ju sighed. The old man had worked hard all his life and now he could only live a peaceful life for two days.

As soon as he returned to his hometown, he encountered the Blood-Clothed Alliance Rebellion.

He enjoyed less than a year of peace and quiet before he passed away.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju asked the question that concerned him the most: "Where is his granddaughter, Mu Xiaoye?"

This is the city-state of the Cangwu Sect. Although Mutian is a disciple of the Cangwu Sect and is only a spiritual farmer, after his death, the sect should take care of his descendants.

"Xiao Ye, he was taken away by Senior Brother Fan Wei after Brother Pastor died!"

"Fan Wei?" Kong Ju recalled the middle-aged man he met at the city gate when he first came to Xiangming County.

It was he who led me to find the residence of Mu Xiaoye and his father.

The man seemed to be very worldly-wise, which made Kong Ju breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you want me to take the two envoys to Senior Brother Fan Wei's residence?" the stationed disciple asked tentatively.

Kong Ju waved his hand and refused, "I've been to Senior Brother Fan Wei's residence, you can go there by yourself. Sorry to bother you, Senior Brother."

After saying this, Kong Ju nodded towards Huangfu Wuqin beside him.

With a leap, the two of them disappeared from the sight of the guarding disciples in a flash.

He was left in a daze, then he sighed, "Why didn't old man Mu ever tell you that he knew any inner disciples of the sect? He's such a lucky guy."

Fan Wei's residence is a small luxurious courtyard near the city entrance and the moat.

As a disciple of the Cangwu sect, he was sent to the mortal world to guard the mortal world. The resources for cultivation were not as many as when he was in the sect, but wealth and honor were inevitable.

Kong Ju and Huangfu Wuqin came together and appeared outside the courtyard.

As soon as he stopped, Kong Ju saw from afar a girl in the courtyard with her chin in her hands, looking drowsy at an enlightenment book called "Yili" in front of her.

Next to the girl was a boy who was only two years older than her. He also had a brush in his mouth and a bitter look on his face.

Kong Ju looked at the girl and found that she was about 70% similar to Mu Xiaoye.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoye was fine, Kong Ju breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the courtyard, and called out to the girl in the courtyard, "Xiaoye?"

When the girl heard someone calling her name, she immediately sat up straight and pretended to be concentrating.

After taking a short break, she realized something was wrong. Her eyes lit up and she looked in the direction of Kong Ju.

Just then, seeing Kong Ju looking at him with a smile, Mu Xiaoye's face was filled with joy and he exclaimed, "Brother Kong Ju!"

Then, under the surprised gaze of the boy beside him, Mu Xiaoye trotted towards Kong Ju.

That noisy running posture is exactly the same as two years ago.

His head crashed into Kong Ju's arms. Mu Xiaoye's face, which was full of joy a moment ago, suddenly turned into a look of sorrow, and he burst into tears: "Brother Kong Ju, grandpa is dead!"

"My father is dead, my mother is dead, I am an orphan!"

During the year Mu Xiaoye stayed at Fan Wei's house, he lived a life of luxury and did not suffer any hardship.

But children need more company from their loved ones.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

She couldn't feel any of this with Fan Wei and could only pretend to be strong.

It was not until he saw his benefactor Kong Ju that he dropped all his disguises, buried himself in Kong Ju's arms and cried loudly.

"Oh!" Kong Ju sighed as he looked at the child in his arms. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just kept stroking her head.

At this moment, Kong Ju's eyes inadvertently looked at the luck above Mu Xiaoye's head.

I don't know when it started, but her luck, which was pure white with a hint of gold, had begun to roll.

It affects the people around you all the time.

At this moment, Kong Ju seemed to roughly understand why Mu Tian died so early.

"Anyone with great luck will be affected by the people around them, not to mention their loved ones."

"Brother Pastor has been with Mu Xiaoye for many years. I'm afraid his fate has been turned upside down by Mu Xiaoye."

Kong Ju couldn't tell Mu Xiaoye this, so he could only pat her head and comfort her softly, "It's okay, Brother Kong is here."

Huangfu Wuqin stood outside the courtyard and did not enter. He watched Kong Ju comforting Mu Xiaoye quietly without disturbing him.

Mu Xiaoye cried for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen, and she just climbed up from Kong Ju's arms, opened her dark eyes, and asked, "How long will Brother Kong stay this time? Can you stay with Xiaoye for a few more days?"

Looking at the girl's hopeful eyes, Kong Ju naturally smiled, but he didn't know what to do in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to just visit the Makita father and son and then leave.

Now it seems that he can’t just leave like this. He is worried about Mu Xiaoye staying here alone.

He made the decision immediately, smiled warmly, and said softly, "Xiao Ye, are you willing to go with your brother?"

"Really!" Mu Xiaoye's eyes immediately became bright.

About an hour later.

Fan Wei and his son stood at the gate of the courtyard and said goodbye to Kong Ju and the other two.

In his hand, he held a bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills given to him by Kong Ju, as a way for Kong Ju to repay him for taking care of Mu Xiaoye for a year.

"Father, will Xiaoye come back after he leaves?" The boy was reluctant to see Xiaoye leave.

Fan Wei looked far away, holding the Qi-nourishing Pill given by Kong Ju in his hand, and told his son: "She won't come back, but you can go to Cangwu Sect to find her."

As he spoke, Fan Wei's eyes were filled with suppressed excitement.

From the moment he saw Kong Ju, he was truly sure that this young man was Kong Ju, the Master of Shenglong Ji.

The genius ranked 20th on the Longmen list.

With such a status, Kong Ju was destined to shine in the Cangwu School and even in Wudong in the future.

"Mu Xiaoye is lucky!" Fan Wei said softly.

Since his son has a good relationship with Mu Xiaoye, he will have someone to help him when he joins the Cangwu Sect in the future.

Kong Ju took Mu Xiaoye to the back mountain of Xiangming County to pay homage to Mu Tian.

"Brother Pastor, I'm taking Xiaoye away." Kong Ju poured a glass of wine in front of the grave and said softly, "I will take good care of her until she can stand on her own."

Mu Xiaoye was also sensible enough to add a pile of new soil in front of Mutian's grave, muttering something under his breath.

As he spoke, he burst into howling again.

Kong Ju did not disturb Mu Xiaoye, but walked silently to Huangfu Wuqin who had been following him behind.

The rest of the time was left for Mu Xiaoye to say goodbye to her grandfather.

Huangfu Wuqin had been paying silent attention to Kong Ju and Mu Xiaoye, and did not interfere with Kong Ju's decision. He only waited until he walked towards him, and then he looked at Kong Ju with bright eyes and asked softly, "What are you going to do with this girl? Bring her back to the sect?"

"Well, he is the orphan of a disciple of Cangwu Sect. He has spiritual intelligence and is quite talented. According to the sect's rules, he can enter the outer sect of Cangwu Sect." Kong Ju did not hide anything and told him his plan in detail.

Huangfu Wuqin pursed her lips and said, "She is too young. She is not old enough to practice cultivation. The outer sect will not accept her. At most, they will place her outside the sect. Then she will be alone again. It is not much better than the current situation."

"What should we do?" Kong Ju rubbed his brows. He knew all this, but he would be even more worried if he just left it alone.

Suddenly he turned his head, his eyes met Huangfu Wuqin's golden pupils, and he smiled: "Senior Sister Huangfu, are you trying to help me?"

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping her!" Huangfu Wuqin raised his eyelids and continued calmly: "I'll take care of her."

Hearing this, Kong Ju's expression became serious. There was no reason for him to refuse. He bowed to Huangfu Wuqin carefully and said, "In this case, I'll trouble you, Senior Sister Huangfu!"

"Oh, that's too fake." Huangfu Wuqin was a little unconvinced. She looked at Kong Ju with her lively eyes with a smile, as she knew the latter's character too well.

"It's true, very sincere!" Kong Ju blinked his eyes, thinking that his attitude was sincere.

"Call me Senior Sister Huangfu from now on."

"no problem!"

"If you call me Junior Sister Huangfu again, I'll beat you up!"

"no problem!"

"Call now!"

"Senior Sister Huangfu!"

Kong Ju shouted loudly.

The situation here attracted Mu Xiaoye's attention, and she blinked her eyes which were still filled with tears.

I am very confused as to why Brother Kong Ju wants to call that beautiful sister his senior sister.

She obviously looks younger than Brother Kong Ju.

However, the incredibly beautiful sister smiled very happily when she heard Brother Kong Ju calling her senior sister.

There will be a big update on the 8th, and normal updates in the next few days.
