He looked at the cat; for a thousand years, she had been his obsession, but now she had become his regret.
"I didn't mean to lie to you," Song Sifan said softly, not caring whether Maomao could hear her from so far away.
Anyway, for her, it didn't matter whether she heard it or not.
Death was approaching him, but he remained calm.
However, at that moment, dawn broke!
Two figures suddenly appeared inside the barrier set up by Mu Jin!
An old man with white hair and beard held a whisk in his hand.
The other young man was dressed in fine clothes and had a handsome face.
The young man said, "Jin Shen, don't kill her! I want to take Ye Li back!"
Ye Mingshi looked up and exclaimed, "This... is a deity?"
Everyone was surprised; that ethereal, otherworldly appearance was truly extraordinary.
With his cultivation naturally developed and the blessing of the precious robe, he exuded a completely different aura.
Mu Jin glanced over there as well. "Why take him back? Are we just letting him come back to cause me more trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Song Sifan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, that's right, Mu Jin, you'd better kill me, otherwise, as long as I'm alive, I'll come looking for trouble with you."
Cat, however, flashed and appeared in front of the two in the blink of an eye.
She first looked at the young man and said, "Xi Yuan, why did you return to your original form?"
Xi Yuan gave a wry smile. "I already told you, I risked being arrested and taken back with you to tip you off. Now that Mother has discovered my trick, I naturally have to go back."
He was very sad, but the cat just made a soft "ooh".
"Isn't your reaction a bit too bland?" Xi Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Cat: "Oh, is that so? That's such a pity! I'm so sad."
Xiyuan: "Never mind...it's too fake."
Cat looked at the Crane Hermit beside her and tugged at his beard. "Old man, what are you doing here again? You never come here for anything good."
"No, don't pull... Do you know how hard it is for an old man to grow a beard?" Venerable Crane Hidden hurriedly protected his beard. "I'm just a gofer... Ninth Prince, please take Ye Li back quickly."
Xi Yuan snapped out of her daze and immediately flew into star orbit.
"Jin Shen, Kunlun Immortal Mountain must capture Ye Li and bring him back. Anyway, the outcome of your battle with him is already decided, so there's no need to kill him, right?"
Mu Jin asked, "Venerable Crane Hermit, what brings you here?"
The Hidden Crane Venerable coughed, "I came here with the Ninth Prince, partly to capture Ye Li, and partly to summon you, Goddess Jin, and Cat back to the Heavenly Realm..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Jin gave him a cold look and asked, "Who summoned me? Why should I go back?"
The cat snorted, "What does this have to do with me? The Heavenly Realm is no good place, I'm not going."
The Hermit Crane sighed. This errand-running job was really too difficult!
The cat is a ticking time bomb, and now even Jin Shen is completely unresponsive. Luckily, he has the imperial sword...
The Venerable Crane Hermit took out a letter from his large sleeve, flicked his finger, and tossed it to Mu Jin.
"It's your master! This was written by him personally, take a look."
Mu Jin held the letter, his brows furrowed deeply.
He couldn't ignore his master's letter.
After a while, he unfolded it.
"To Jin'er: ... Return to Ziwei Palace immediately and bring that child back with you. Your master will make a decision."
The handwriting is so elegant; it was written by his teacher.
Mu Jin was slightly moved.
Cat came to Mu Jin's side, very curious about what the Ziwei Emperor had written for Mu Jin. She peeked over and saw only two lines of text, which she read in no time.
She blinked. "Is that child me?"
Mu Jin nodded, "Yes."
Cat: "I'm not a child anymore."
Mu Jin: "In Master's eyes, yes."
The Hidden Crane Venerable hurriedly said, "Can we leave now?"
Even the old man Ziwei sent a letter personally, which carries more weight than any invitation from anyone else! Venerable Crane Hidden is also confident that he can complete the mission this time.
However, Mu Jin said, "Venerable Crane Hermit, thank you for sending this letter."
Having not heard from his master for many years, the only thing he still cares about in Ziwei Yuan is his master.
In his letter, he acknowledged the cat's meaning.
However, he is not a child who needs adults to protect him after causing trouble. He should bear the consequences himself. Besides, he has a cat.
The Venerable Crane-Hidden chuckled, “No need to thank me, it’s nothing. You just need to come back with me immediately.”
Mu Jin replied, "I have accepted the letter, but neither Cat nor I will go to the Heavenly Realm. Venerable Crane Hidden, please tell my master that I have entered the demonic path and will no longer return to Qinghong Palace, but I will definitely keep my promise to him."
The Hidden Crane Venerable immediately became anxious. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say to Mu Jin. Finally, he said in a very firm tone, "No, no, I absolutely will not pass on any messages to you this time! Go and tell your master yourself!"
Xi Yuan also looked at Mu Jin. He opened his mouth, but didn't try to persuade her. He pretty much knew what Mu Jin was thinking, so... there was nothing more to say.
Even if Mu Jin takes the cat back to Ziwei Yuan, even if the Ziwei Emperor acknowledges the cat, the entire Heavenly Realm will not recognize her, especially Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Mu Jin would rather not accept this charity. The world is vast, and he can go anywhere, but the Heavenly Realm, the place that all immortals and gods yearn for, is the place he is determined to leave.
Others may not understand, but Mu Jin doesn't care what others think.
The Hidden Crane Master was surprised that even the personal letter from the Great Emperor Ziwei was ineffective. He sighed inwardly, realizing that he could no longer be a gofer!
However, at that very moment!
