"You're not coming back with me?"
Xie Zhen was somewhat bewildered by his junior disciple's idea of staying at Jingyun Mountain.
"This time, I brought you here not only to attend the ceremony, but also to take a stroll. I never thought that your junior brother and the others would be noticed by Mingxiao Zhenren's daughter and stay here. We follow the divination lineage, we don't need this."
Xie Zhen subconsciously thought that he, as a disciple, was staying to take care of his junior brothers, but he was met with a shake of the head.
"I came here and thought it was quite beautiful, so I wanted to stay a few more days," Mu Chen lied without batting an eye.
Although he had won the bet with Xie Chen and gained control, Mingmei hadn't come out of her residence for the past few days, so he had no reason to go up and see her.
As a result, I haven't done anything for the past few days.
"Is that so?" Xie Zhen narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly, carefully examining the little apprentice in front of him, his fingers already calculating something in his wide sleeves.
strangeness.
It seems that nothing really happened.
However, Xie Zhen intuitively felt that it was a mistake for his disciple to stay here.
However, the calculation results showed that everything was normal.
Is he overthinking it?
"Since you are alone, do not go down the mountain casually. Continue your cultivation with the disciples of Jingyun Mountain. These days are not safe, so do not go down the mountain casually again."
Yes, I know.
Mu Chen lowered his eyes, the eerie laughter of the boy in his heart continuing unabated.
He couldn't access Xie Chen's previous memories, but he learned some things from his conversations with some of his disciples over the past few days.
Xie Chen went down the mountain a few days ago.
Coupled with the other party's undisguised mockery, Mu Chen's eyes darkened.
...
"I wonder if Luo Yao has returned to Bibo Yaoshan. She hasn't sent any news back."
Now, Mei Jiu's elementary school is full of boys. Luo Yao, the only girl who could be her best friend, has also left. Mei Jiu simply skipped half a day of class and leaned against Ming Mei, telling her the gossip she had heard.
"I heard that the sect that was wiped out was a small sect called Baicaotang, which had always been providing medicinal herbs for Luo Yao's sect to refine pills. Apparently, it was because the herbs they were supposed to offer to Bibo Yaoshan were delayed, and the cultivators from Bibo Yaoshan went to check and that's when they discovered it."
Mei Jiu, who had never experienced death, didn't feel much when talking about these things. It was only her fellow disciples who were learning to talk about these things who showed surprise and reluctance.
Upon hearing this, Mingmei naturally felt both reluctant and worried.
This event did not exist in her childhood memories, and what level of person would be needed to wipe out an entire sect?
Mingmei subconsciously thought of Xie Chen, but then felt that the timing didn't match up.
According to the information Mei Jiu heard, it seems that he had already arrived at Jingyun Mountain when the incident at Baicaotang happened.
"Sister, why are you spacing out again?"
Mei Jiu noticed Mingmei's absent-mindedness, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly added, "Have you been out and about lately? Didn't Mother say you should go out more? Don't isolate yourself like this!"
"Yeah, it's been a bit cold these past few days, that's why I haven't gone downstairs." Mingmei, reminded by Mei Jiu, also realized that she seemed to have become increasingly lazy these past few days.
Taking advantage of Mei Jiu's suggestion, Mingmei simply proposed that she accompany Mei Jiu to the Spirit Food Hall today, and also visit the Spirit Beast Garden on the way, so that they could bring back a small pet.
On her way down the mountain, Mingmei ran into Xie Chen once again.
However, Mingmei soon discovered that the person this time was not Xie Chen.
"I learned some pastry making from Master Mingxiao. Perfect timing, we just need a few more people to taste them. Would you like to try some?"
It wasn't mealtime, and there weren't many people at the Spirit Food Hall, except for Lu Xiaoyao, who always liked to stay and eat there, and someone they hadn't expected to be there at this time.
Mei Jiu was very curious as it was the first time she had ever seen someone other than her father cooking here.
Mingmei was the first to accept the pastry Mu Chen offered. After taking a bite, her eyelashes trembled slightly involuntarily where no one could see.
She recognized the familiar taste immediately – it was Mu Chen's cooking!
She immediately realized that Mu Chen had transmigrated into Xie Chen's body!
Was her uncle doing this on purpose?
Mingmei glanced at Mu Chen, who seemed to sense her gaze and looked back at her. Although he didn't make any large movements, the familiar smile in his eyes made Mingmei smile slightly.
The two of them thus recognized each other's identities without anyone knowing.
However, it seems that neither of them is in a good situation right now, especially Mu Chen.
"Oh, this taste is so familiar..."
Lu Xiaoyao joined in the fun, and after taking a bite, the familiar taste made her feel like she had eaten it somewhere before.
Mingmei's heart skipped a beat at Lu Xiaoyao's words, but Lu Xiaoyao changed the subject and said, "It's not quite as good as what your father made."
Mingmei: "..."
“That’s right, it’s not as good as Father’s cooking.” Mei Jiu nodded in agreement. On this point, she and Lu Xiaoyao had reached a rare consensus.
"Yes, I still have many shortcomings. Master Mingxiao also said so: only through diligent study and hard work can one achieve success."
Mu Chen didn't seem angry at all. On the contrary, he was very happy to have two more people to appreciate the pastries. He even used this agreement to find out the regular times when Mingmei and Mei Jiu would come here.
Mingmei readily agreed, and Mu Chen, seeing this, subtly curved the corners of his mouth.
All of this reignited Lu Xiaoyao's passion for shipping the couple, and she could not say that she saw all of Mingmei and Muchen's little actions in her mind, but she could see them perfectly.
It's absolutely so sweet!
Is this some kind of childhood sweetheart story?!
Mingmei subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaoyao again, and in just one glance, she was almost blinded by Lu Xiaoyao's eyes, which were as bright as lasers.
Bright and beautiful: =. =?
What is this guy thinking about now?
Life on Jingyun Mountain was peaceful and serene, but Lu Gui, who had failed in his attempt to understand his own heart and had to descend the mountain, had been living a truly absurd life these past few days.
Five days ago,
Having failed in his attempt to visit the mountain, Lu Gui, disheveled and tumbling down the Questioning Steps, flew directly on his sword to a city a hundred miles away from Jingyun Mountain.
That night, he rented a quiet courtyard to rest, pondering what his next steps should be.
His current mission has changed from joining Jingyun Mountain to joining a cultivation sect and starting over.
Just because I was stimulated by the illusion when I went up the mountain, and then flew back, I felt completely weak inside and out. Late at night, I found a tavern that was still open and planned to have a quiet meal.
Unexpectedly, he then encountered a strange person.
In addition to his basic cultivation qualifications, Lu Gui also possesses a pair of innate spiritual eyes.
Despite being dressed in a simple blue robe and appearing quite elegant from behind, in Lu Gui's eyes, the person standing there was actually a man exuding a bloodthirsty aura. (M.cascoo.net)
The strong smell of blood immediately identifies him as a ruthless and evil cultivator who kills without hesitation!
