Chapter 229 Departure
"Sister Tao, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
At noon, Cheng Anran surrounded her and chattered non-stop: "Sister Tao, are you really not taking me with you? I know a lot."
Tao Zi felt helpless. With her fate, ordinary people should stay away from her, but the Cheng family did not follow the ordinary path and allowed the second young lady to revolve around her.
Xi Jing propped up her face with one hand and said coldly, "Don't even think about it. Senior Sister didn't even take us with her, let alone you."
She replied without hesitation: "But I'm better than you!"
"Are you sure?" Xi Jing lifted her sleeves and said, "Come on, let's have a competition."
"Okay, let's compete. I'm not afraid of you!"
Watching this unexpected scene, Zhao Xue lowered his voice and asked, "How come they started fighting while talking?"
"This isn't called a fight, this is called a sparring match."
After Han Yueshan corrected his junior brother's statement, he picked up the stool and walked out: "I will make the judgment, you can fight without worry!"
Tao Zi was frowning on the side. Li Xiu said, "Your junior brother seems to be just watching the fun and not minding the trouble."
She affirmed, "Like, this word can be deleted."
"Hey, a fight has started!"
The figure of the Flower Monk flashed past them.
Li Xiu: "...Is this guy really a monk?"
"He betrayed the sect."
Yue Qingya reminded him, "But judging from his talent, he should be the pride of this generation in the sect."
Tao Zi was silent for a moment before she said, "How pitiful."
The incoherent words made the two of them nod their heads. Li Xiu said, "I wonder what his fellow apprentices who were suppressed by him feel when he becomes like this."
Zhao Xue on the side hesitated and said, "I remember that he was not like this at the beginning."
Yue Qingya asked doubtfully, "You mean he was led astray? By whom?"
The two foxes simultaneously looked at Han Yueshan outside. He was hooking his arm around the monk's neck, pointing and saying, "Look, I've said before that women are the most ferocious when fighting. Look at this technique, it's so ruthless."
"Your junior brother..." Li Xiu hesitated before saying, "But this monk will have a love affair sooner or later, so it's a good thing for him to get familiar with the world of fireworks in advance."
It didn't take long before the winner was decided, and Cheng Anran was defeated miserably.
This was within everyone's expectations. After all, Xi Jing was a cultivator who had passed through the Dayless Forest. In terms of experience, he could not compare with ordinary people of the same age.
Cheng Anran adjusted her skirt and said unconvincedly, "I will definitely beat you next time!"
"Don't adjust your skirt yet." Xi Jing waved at her.
"You want to do it again?" She backed away furiously, "I won't fight you anymore!"
"No, don't you think that the fly that was buzzing around just now was particularly annoying?"
Hearing this, Cheng Anran turned to look at Han Yueshan, and Xi Jing also looked at him with a smile.
"Amitabha, well done, well done. Speech is also karma."
While speaking, Hua Seng had already retreated to Tao Zi's side.
The battlefield shifted. Tao Zi slowly took a sip of tea and continued watching.
The fight was in full swing when a servant suddenly came over and said, "Master Tao, the master of the family is looking for you."
She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
She turned to Yue Qingya and said, "We were talking about leaving. It took less than an hour."
He replied with his usual smile: "I know."
Tao Zi stood up and left with the servants.
Cheng Anjing sat in the pavilion. He pointed to a seat opposite and said politely, "Miss Tao, please take a seat."
She was the first to ask, "Master Cheng, are you looking for me to discuss leaving?"
Cheng Anjing smiled and nodded: "Yes."
He no longer looks as unfathomable as before, but instead appears easy-going.
Tao Zi said: "Regarding this matter, I also happen to have a request."
"Miss Tao, please feel free to speak."
After a brief thought, she asked, "Will the Cheng family go to watch the sect competition in three years?"
Cheng Anjing nodded without hesitation: "Such a grand event, the Cheng family should go."
Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't plan to bring Xi Jing and the others with me on this trip. I'll make an appointment with them to meet during the sect competition. If possible, I hope the Cheng family will bear with me for a while."
He smiled and said, "This is not a big deal. In three years, the Cheng family will definitely send them to you intact."
"Thank you very much."
Tao Zi looked at the servants outside and asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"
The servants quickly brought up the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Miss Tao, what's this?"
She smiled slightly and said, "My power is limited and I can't help the Cheng family much. I can only write down some of the things I know."
She only wrote one-third of the paper before presenting it to Cheng Anjing.
Cheng Anjing glanced at it casually, and his expression changed slightly.
He looked up at Tao Zi and said, "Is what Miss Tao wrote true?"
"Whether it's true or false, wait for the owner to verify it."
Cheng Anjing sat there for about half a minute before he quietly put the paper away and said with a smile, "Miss Tao, your reward is quite shocking."
"I just hope the Cheng family will protect Yueshan and the others."
He promised: "As long as the Cheng family exists, we will protect them."
When we returned to the yard, everyone had already quieted down.
Han Yueshan sat on the chair with his eyes closed. Zhao Xue was applying eggs on him, while Xi Jing was whispering to Cheng Anran.
Looking at the bruises around Yue Shan's eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so miserable?"
Hearing the voice of his senior sister, Han Yueshan complained: "I showed mercy, and they beat me to death. I couldn't dodge for a while."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Let's fight more often when we have time. Don't be idle."
He closed his eyes and promised: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will keep an eye on them!"
On the day of leaving, Cheng Anjing appeared at the gate of the yard and handed her something.
Tao Zi took it and looked at it, and found that it was a flying spiritual weapon, similar to the one Li Xiu had before.
He smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Tao was in need of a flying spiritual weapon, so I came here specially to find one. I hope she will be satisfied."
"Thank you, Cheng family, for your hospitality."
Cheng Anjing smiled more sincerely: "No, Miss Tao has helped my Cheng family a lot, this is a thank you gift."
"No, it's just a simple matter."
Seeing them talking about useless politeness, Cheng Anran couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you done?"
Cheng Anjing smiled and shook her head, saying, "You! Well, Miss Tao, I won't delay your journey. I hope you have a safe journey."
"I would like to borrow the auspicious words from the master of the Cheng family."
Looking at the fox in her arms, Cheng Anjing suddenly reminded her, "Miss Tao, foxes shouldn't appear in front of people."
"What's wrong?"
He gently reminded, "The deaths of several disciples of the Minglan Sect are related to a cultivator and a fox who are suspected to be wearing a human skin mask."
"Suspected?"
He laughed and said, "If you can't find him anywhere, then naturally you're suspicious."
Tao Zi smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."
