Chapter 380 Yue Qingya's Opportunity
Tao Zi walked into the lobby and let the "aunt and nephew" outside the door fight each other. Jiao'er was worried and added fuel to the fire, fearing that the fight would not be exciting enough.
Cheng Wuchou looked outside and smiled, "Just these three together are lively enough."
She nodded, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the dark object on the table and fell silent for a moment.
Xi Jing pushed the door open carefully, picked up the black thing under Tao Zi's gaze, and walked out as if nothing had happened.
The Thousand Needle Doctor who had just walked in looked at the black object in confusion and asked, "Miss Xi Jing, what is this?"
She coughed, her ears reddening. “It’s a half-finished cake. I wanted to give it to Second Senior Brother to taste, but I didn’t expect Senior Sister to come back so suddenly.”
The Thousand Needle Doctor's expression was extremely shocked: "Semi-finished product? No, wait, if it's a semi-finished product like this, then..."
His words were interrupted by Tao Zi's coughs, and Xi Jing took the opportunity to slip out.
She watched her junior sister leave, lowered her voice and smiled, "Xi Jing's cooking skills aren't very good to begin with, so it's best to encourage her at a time like this."
Han Yueshan poked his head in and asked resentfully, "What can I use to encourage you? My life? Senior Sister, even if I'm a cultivator, I can't stand Xi Jing messing with my stomach like this."
Tao Zi coughed a few times, suppressed her smile and said, "Senior Sister, please talk to Xi Jing when you have time."
He then retracted his head and closed the door.
The Thousand Needle Doctor smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although you are the second senior brother, you are bullied to death by the younger junior sister."
Tao Zi smiled gently, saying, "He's always been nice to his junior brothers and sisters, but he can be a bit rude sometimes."
Cheng Wuchou used a sound-isolating sound at this time, and the other two looked over in surprise.
He said, "It's fine if the Tiandao Sect is just intervening in Little Phoenix's affairs, but why did they mention Yue Qingya by name? The Tiandao Sect can't possibly be so involved in this matter."
Tao Zi was stunned for a moment and said, "Qingya has always had good luck and is quite favored by heaven. We good friends jokingly call him the son of luck."
Cheng Wuchou slowly shook his head and said carefully: "No, it's still not right. If Yue Qingya had not done great merits in his previous life, it would not have come to this."
The Thousand Needle Doctor suddenly realized something was amiss and said, "It would have been fine in the past, but I heard from your brother about the current Heavenly Dao... What a coincidence! Yue Qingya is also your good friend."
Several people looked at each other. Tao Zi frowned and said firmly, "Qing Ya will never harm me."
The brother said, "We don't doubt it, but if he has another opportunity in the future, we must be careful."
Thousand Needle Doctor stroked his sleeve and frowned, saying, "For ordinary people, a single great opportunity is rare, but from what you've said, it seems his opportunities never cease, and his strength is increasing at an especially rapid rate. For a casual cultivator, Yue Qingya is truly incredibly lucky. The vast majority of disciples from the three sects and four schools possess far fewer resources than he does. Anything out of the ordinary is a sign of evil, Tao Zi, err on the side of caution."
Seeing her standing there in deep thought, the Thousand Needle Doctor said, "I'm not quite sure what's going on here, and it's not appropriate to ask too much. I'll go out and check on my apprentice first."
Watching his friend leave, Cheng Wuchou said, "Azi, if you really trust Yue Qingya, you can talk to him, but be careful about what you shouldn't say."
"I see."
The brother and sister chatted about other things before going their separate ways.
When Tao Zi went out, the little fox had stopped making noise, but there was a small bald spot on its back.
The corners of her mouth twitched as she asked, "Little Fox, when did your fighting ability become so poor? Little Phoenix hasn't fully received the inheritance."
The little fox curled its lips and said, "Do you think it's a good thing? Besides, I didn't use any magical powers, I just relied on brute force."
Hearing it say this, Tao Zi suddenly became curious. After thinking for a while, she walked towards Yue Qingya.
When she got outside, she knocked on the door and pushed it open after receiving a response.
At first glance, the willow branches were still there, and their expressions were particularly strange, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Looking again, the little phoenix was nestled in Yue Qingya's arms, refusing to look up.
Tao Zi said, "Little Phoenix, look up and let your mother see you."
The little phoenix was reluctant at first, but it was rare to hear her call herself mother, so after some hesitation, she raised her head and then quickly returned to her nest.
Even just a moment was enough for Tao Zi to see its condition clearly - there were only two or three tufts of hair on its forehead, and it looked particularly pitiful, like one or two clumps of golden dead grass emerging from the bare land.
"Hahaha……"
Tao Zi laughed out loud without any hesitation. The little phoenix chirped angrily and couldn't even speak human language. It just refused to turn around and face Tao Zi. Those who didn't know thought it was scolding Yue Qingya.
Yue Qingya patted the little phoenix helplessly, whispered a few words of comfort, and then looked at Tao Zi slowly.
She smiled hypocritically and said, "It's okay, little phoenix. A mother never dislikes her daughter's ugliness."
Little Phoenix was furious, and finally said something sensible: "How can you be so vengeful! I'm still your child!"
Tao Zi continued to laugh.
Yue Qingya held his forehead slightly and glanced at Liu Tiao. Liu Tiao smiled and stood up, saying, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go out and have a meal first."
Most of the Jindan cultivators have already practiced fasting and their appetite is not strong anymore. This is clearly an excuse, but no one will ask any more questions.
Seeing that the outsiders had left, Little Phoenix finally revealed his forehead again, faced Tao Zi directly, and angrily said, "Bad mother."
Tao Ziren smiled and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, I'm bad."
It felt even more aggrieved, and covered its head with its wings, moved aside aggrievedly, ignoring them, and even turned its back to Tao Zi.
Yue Qingya tried to comfort her finally, but when he saw that he couldn't do it, he looked at Tao Zi helplessly.
She held the little phoenix in her arms and soothed it with the same method she used to soothe the little fox. Miraculously, the little phoenix stopped struggling and stayed obediently in her arms.
She secretly compared them in her mind and felt that the Phoenix's touch was not as good as the Fox's.
Yue Qingya asked at this time: "Azi, do you have anything to ask?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "How did your trip turn out?"
He smiled faintly and said, "It's very smooth. Brother Liu has successfully put the blame on others... ahem, no, he has successfully proved that the person who plotted against him is from the main peak of Minglan Sect. This time, the people from Bamboo Peak came here to apologize on behalf of the main peak, but they unexpectedly encountered a demon cultivator. They urgently invited the Bamboo Peak priest to come here, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to hold out until the Sword Sect elders arrived."
Apologizing on someone else's behalf, why does this trick sound so familiar?
Tao Zi's smile deepened as she said, "The trick Xu Qianjia used on me has finally come back to haunt him."
Yue Qingya nodded, his expression softening considerably, and added, "I've gained quite a bit on this trip."
She was startled and immediately became cautious.
