What's the difference between Chapter 1218 and Chapter 1218?
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but point at him and laugh.
"Uncle Eagle, you should have said so earlier! Why did we go through all this trouble?" he said, running over to hug the owl.
"Get off me, get off me," the owl said, stepping on his cheek. "This is called a tug-of-war, do you understand?"
"Hmm, isn't this the kind of scenario a man uses to woo a woman he likes in a storybook?"
"Thump!" The owl pecked at his head. "Superficial! By the way, what about the wife you found for me? She hasn't had a single child all these years?"
Qi Yun, her ears red, corrected her, "It's 'giving birth,' people say 'giving birth to a child,' why are you using such a vulgar term?"
"Like laying eggs and having offspring, it's the same principle, we're all..."
Qi Yun plugged the owl's beak.
"Master, senior master, grandmaster, you all talk first, I want to catch up with Uncle Ying alone."
Qi Yun, his face flushed and neck red, retreated through the doorway while carrying the owl.
Han Mo stood up. "I'll go take a look too."

And so, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal and the owl both settled down in the Taoist temple.
But Song Chunxue didn't expect that her master would discuss something with her.
“I know you don’t want to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, but you are indeed a good candidate for it.”
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal wore a smile, his eyes piercingly discerning. Without Song Chunxue saying anything, he knew what she was thinking.
"I know that people misunderstand the Path of Ruthlessness. The Path of Ruthlessness is not about being cruel, heartless, or unjust. It does not involve killing one's husband or wife to attain enlightenment, or doing anything unkind or unjust for the sake of cultivation."
Song Chunxue listened quietly, but her heart was not at peace; she even felt a sense of resistance and torment.
As someone with emotions and desires, bound by the habits and conventional thinking of ordinary people, she has tried her best to view things rationally.
But now, just hearing the words "ruthless path" gives Song Chunxue a headache.
“I know that because of Xie Zheng’s change of heart, you have become somewhat willful in your cultivation. He has indeed changed your mindset.”
Looking into her eyes, Song Chunxue nodded, "Master is very perceptive."
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal took a sip of tea. "Are you insulting me?"
"How dare I?" Song Chunxue took a deep breath, leaned forward, and rested her elbows on the table. "Master, I've been waiting for you to teach me something real. Of course, I'm not saying the previous things weren't real, they just weren't good enough."
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal smiled without saying a word.
"Although there are still some things I haven't figured out or sorted out in my heart, I want them to lie there obediently in my heart and then disappear."
The master lowered his head, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes.
Song Chunxue instantly felt that her master was laughing at her.
She smiled too, and couldn't help but want to ask her master about his background.
"Why are you laughing at me, Master? You've been my age too. Don't you have things you can't understand? You're not like Zhang Chengxuan, who never had any romantic encounters in his life, are you?"
He placed the teacup on the table, resting his elbows on it as well. The two of them seemed ready to get to the point.
Unexpectedly, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal spoke gently, "Want to hear about my past?"
"..." She had a bad feeling.
"Either you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk and drink with me to your heart's content, or you can fight me to a draw before you'll have a chance to hear me talk about these things."
"When shall we drink?" Thinking of her master's collection of wines, Song Chunxue licked her lips. "I haven't had my fill of wine yet. Maybe I can really drink with my master until dawn."
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't it?" The Moon-Accompanying Immortal sat up straight, reverting to his aloof and dignified demeanor as a master.
"Also, it's time to teach you a few survival tips when fighting against others."
Song Chunxue was greatly encouraged, "Are we going to fight someone?"
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal glanced at her with a helpless expression, "Why are you so belligerent?"
"Isn't this just human nature?"
"What are you so excited about?" The Moon-Accompanying Immortal stood up. "It's for saving your life, not for you to fight with people."
“Hey, that’s strange. Does that mean we cultivators can only obediently wait to be chased and beaten? Can’t we strike first?” Song Chunxue said without any hesitation. “That would be too frustrating.”
"Smack!"
The person in front suddenly stopped and clapped their hands.
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal wore a pleased smile, saying, "This child is teachable."
"As your teacher, I also believe that if we encounter an unreasonable person, we shouldn't bother reasoning with them. Lady Wude, beat them until they can't stand up anymore. Don't listen to their words of admitting defeat and begging for mercy. Evil villains will only take advantage of your inattention and use underhanded tricks to kill you. This trick is called 'frightening out of your mind'."
Song Chunxue immediately clenched her fist and said loudly, "Thank you for your teachings, Master!"
The next moment, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal leaped directly onto the top of the wall, his movements elegant and ethereal.
Song Chunxue followed suit, putting one hand behind her back and the other in front of her lower abdomen, and stood up to follow her master.
They arrived at an open space.
"Where's your stubborn mule? Let it out."
Although Song Chunxue was curious as to why her master said that, she still released the stubborn donkey.
"Pfft~"
The stubborn donkey protested by digging in the dirt on the ground.
Song Chunxue took out two pills, rubbed the stubborn donkey's hair, and fed them to him.
A donkey that's been coaxed along is so easy to please.
Although he was neither a donkey nor a horse.
"Let me see who gave me this pill; it's of good quality."
Song Chunxue handed one over, saying, "This was given to me by my apprentice, Changyun."
"He has good potential. I'll train him for half a month." With that, the master swallowed two youth-preserving pills.
“I didn’t plan to teach you more powerful techniques so early, but you were being tracked by evil spirits last time. Recently, I received news that someone is eyeing your cultivation level and wants to use evil techniques to absorb it. They also want to take your Overlord Sword.”
He said irritably, "Those bastards really dare to dream. I also like the Overlord Sword, but I can't let it fall into the wrong hands. So the method I taught you can make the person who tries to steal your power end up having their power stolen by you instead."
Song Chunxue's eyes lit up, and she immediately knelt down, "Thank you, Master!"
"Get up." This disciple is now even more bandit-like than Zhang Chengxuan.
Although he had always wanted a disciple who was unconventional, unruly, and not bound by the Confucian classics.
Song Chunxue looked at him eagerly, "Please enlighten me, Master."
"But before I teach you, there are a few conditions I need to state."
"Master, please speak."
If Song Chunxue had a long tail, it would already be wagging by now, the kind of wagging that could sweep up yellow dust.
After explaining a few points to note and making three requests, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal began to teach and planned to set up a protective barrier.
Suddenly, someone floated down from the tree.
"Master, please give Junior Brother some extra help."
"..."
"..."
The master and apprentice looked at Zhang Chengxuan, both feeling somewhat guilty.
Song Chunxue looked at her senior brother, "Didn't Master teach you something separately before?"
This is called individualized instruction.
“I did teach you,” Zhang Chengxuan admitted, “but those were all for strengthening the foundation of the main road, not suitable for you.”
"When I asked you before, you said you wouldn't learn this. Why did you suddenly come to learn it today?" the Moon-Accompanying Immortal said sternly.
“Master, you didn’t say that before. You said there was a cultivation technique that could steal a person’s cultivation, and asked if I was willing to do it. Of course, I refused. But…”
"What's the difference?"
“…” Zhang Chengxuan was silent for a moment, “Then is Master willing to teach me today? Anyway, teaching one or two is the same as teaching one.”
P.S.: My darlings, my brother's family is moving to a new house, so he went to the city to celebrate. He might stop by for a couple of days. Mwah! I'll try to update more often when I get home.
Are the comments I can't see because they're insulting me again? (laughing and crying)
