Chapter 965 The Lord is Not Skilled at Sedating People's Hearts 29
At the summit of Mount Emei, the disciples cheered wildly as they saw Elder Xichen off.
The Emei sect leader even ordered a tea party to be held that day, where disciples could perform music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and other arts to entertain the guests.
The Emei Sect was bustling with activity. The eight senior sisters had clear divisions of labor: some were responsible for going down the mountain to buy supplies, some for setting up the tea party venue, and some for preparing food.
Ren Nianchan sat beside Madam Ren, feeling aggrieved because of the sect leader's reprimand earlier.
She lowered her voice and said, "Mother, I'll go back with you tomorrow. Master is so fierce."
Madam Ren: "No, you are now a disciple of Emei."
Ren Nianchan said coquettishly, "If Father knew I had been wronged, he would definitely feel sorry for me!"
Madam Ren sighed and advised, "The sect leader was just trying to help you."
Ren Nianchan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Mother, are you worried that I'll take Father away from you when I go back?"
Mrs. Ren was utterly astonished. "What?"
“They say a daughter is her father’s lover from a past life. My father has doted on me since I was little. Is my mother jealous of me?” Ren Nianchan said smugly.
Madam Ren's hands trembled, and her voice trembled as she asked incredulously, "Nianchan, how could you think such a thing?"
Ren Nianchan snatched the jade pendant from Madam Ren's waist and smashed it to the ground without even blinking.
In an instant, the jade pendant shattered into pieces.
All eyes turned to him.
Ren Nianchan said with a furious expression, "Mother is just afraid that I will take Father away!"
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Madam Ren explained somewhat awkwardly, "Nianchan just misses home."
"I hope the sect leader will allow me to take her home."
The Emei sect leader didn't think much of it, figuring that Ren Nianchan was Ren Chengyun's precious daughter and it was understandable that she was a little spoiled, so he replied, "Alright."
Madam Ren picked up the broken pieces of jade one by one.
Seeing her mother's distressed expression, Ren Nianchan felt deeply guilty. "Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
I don't know what happened just now, but I suddenly felt angry and wanted to vent.
Madam Ren carefully put away the broken jade pendant. "This was a token of love between your father and me. Now that it's broken... I have a bad feeling about it."
Ren Nianchan's apologetic voice was filled with impatience after hearing words that did not suit her, but she had to suppress it.
"Once we get down the mountain, we can find a jade craftsman to repair it. My parents have always been loving and affectionate, and they won't have any disagreements over a jade pendant."
She said dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ren agreed with the reasoning and did not bring up the matter again.
As night fell, lanterns lit up the summit of Mount Emei.
Elder Xichen sat high up, blending into the darkness, taking in the sword dances, poetry recitations, and riddle-solving below.
The night grew deeper.
When the crescent moon is obscured by clouds, fireflies fly in from all directions.
Wow~ fireflies! So beautiful!
"Are the fireflies also attracted to us?"
"So fireflies like being around people too!"
Mrs. Ren was the first to notice something was wrong, especially when the fireflies circled around her, and the gasps of astonishment around her sounded like a curse.
"Mommy, they like you so much!"
"Mom, you look so beautiful in the light of the fireflies."
"Mom, I want to be surrounded by fireflies too!"
Ren Nianchan was about to walk over when she spoke.
Madam Ren shouted, "Don't come any closer! Everyone back off! This is the Firefly Gu of the Territory!"
As soon as she finished speaking, fireflies began to swarm around her and attach themselves to her body. Her exposed skin felt both hot and cold, and the strange sensation instantly seeped into her flesh.
