Chapter 110 Cat's Sweet Burden
Watching Youyou and Lan Yu playfully playing around, Bai Qingchen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Youyou, have you seen Mo Zhiyuan recently?"
Yoyo, who was trying to pull Lan Yu's big tail with his claws, paused and rolled his eyes a few times.
Big Wood? It seems like I haven't seen him for a while. Could it be that Qing ran into him outside?
Yoyo tilted his head and meowed a few times: "No, I didn't see the big tree."
"Really..." Bai Qingchen thought thoughtfully.
His gaze turned to Lan Yu, who was being "bullied" by Youyou, and his tone became slightly more serious.
"Lan Yu, don't just play around. Have you forgotten what your brother told you in the letter? You must focus on training and studying."
The little fox was being chased by Yoyo and was rolling around in the snow. The white ground was covered with plum blossom prints.
Upon hearing this, Lan Yu immediately lay down in the snow, exposing his soft belly, and said in a naughty way, "Why can Yoyo play but I can't? It's not fair!"
Yoyo stopped and raised his little head proudly: "I am different from you. I am a spirit beast. Do you understand spirit beasts?"
Lan Yu was unconvinced: "How is it different? I have the same tail as you. We can all turn into small animals."
"Anyway, it's different. You monsters can transform, but we spirit beasts can't." Yoyo couldn't explain it in detail, but just stubbornly believed that they, the spirit beasts, only needed to practice and didn't need to learn.
Lan Yu was dejected, his ears drooping, and he walked slowly to Bai Qingchen's feet.
Bai Qingchen shook his head helplessly, took out a specially made low table and small chair suitable for the little fox's body from the storage bag, and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and set them aside.
So, when Su Yue received the message and rushed over, and pushed open the door of the courtyard, this was the scene she saw.
In the yard, a snow-white kitten was happily chasing its tail in the snow, while next to it, a snow-white little fox was sitting in front of a set of miniature tables and chairs.
One of its front paws was properly holding a brush and writing something seriously on the spread-out paper. The scene was indescribably weird, yet inexplicably funny.
Lan Yu still had the form of an animal. When he was in Qingqiu, many little foxes who had not yet fully learned how to transform learned this way in school.
There was a human-shaped teacher giving a lecture above, and below sat rows of little foxes holding brushes and writing seriously. So he was used to it and could skillfully hold the brush in animal shape, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Brother Bai, you, a fox, are so human-like! You can even write?"
Su Yue couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. She walked closer with curiosity and found that the handwriting written by the little fox was quite neat and regular.
Su Yue didn't think it was incredible that a fox could write. After all, she had seen kittens that could draw talismans before.
Bai Qingchen was not surprised by Su Yue's arrival. The first thing he did after returning was to send her a message.
This time Su Yue did not come alone. Standing on her shoulder was a squirrel pet with a big fluffy tail and holding a pine cone.
Yoyo stopped playing when he heard the noise and looked curiously at the squirrel on Su Yue's shoulder. Rongrong was a little scared when it was stared at by the squirrel. He grabbed Su Yue's clothes tightly with his little paws and didn't dare to get down.
Bai Qingchen's gaze also fell on Rongrong.
Su Yue smiled and explained: "I went back home a few days ago."
Bai Qingchen was a little surprised: "Your father actually agreed to let you return to Lingxiao Sect?"
He knew that Su Yue had sneaked out to become his disciple.
Su Yue chuckled, a little proudly: "When I first went back, my father did say he wanted to break my legs, but he was reluctant."
"In fact, they already knew I was in Ling Xiao Sect, but they just couldn't bring themselves to come find me. This time when I went back, they were so heartbroken that they have given up on forcing me to inherit the family business and learn alchemy."
"This is a good thing." Bai Qingchen was really happy for her.
Su Yue thought of her father's angry and distressed look at that time, and she felt relieved and told him not to force her to do things she didn't like.
"I took the opportunity to pick up Rongrong while I was back. Let me formally introduce him to you. This is Rongrong, my spirit beast companion!"
Bai Qingchen and the squirrel named Rongrong are old acquaintances, so he naturally recognized it.
After the greetings, Su Yue put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Bai, you are not loyal enough. You left quietly without even leaving a message. Do you still consider me a friend?"
If Lin Feng hadn't mentioned it to her a while ago, she wouldn't have known where Bai Qingchen had gone.
Bai Qingchen knew he was in the wrong and apologized sincerely: "It's my fault. It happened a bit suddenly and I didn't have time to tell you. I apologize."
Su Yue wasn't really angry at first, so she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since you came back safely, I forgive you."
Her face straightened and she said, "Actually, I came to you this time because I have something serious to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Bai Qingchen asked.
"Brother Bai, do you know the secret realm of the North Sea Ruins?"
Bai Qingchen's expression froze, and he nodded, "I've heard a little bit about it."
Not only had he heard of it, he had been there in his previous life, but the experience was quite complicated and it was not convenient to say more at the moment.
This secret realm of the North Ming Ruins opens once every hundred years. Unlike other secret realms, it requires a specific token to open.
This token is kept in turn by the six major immortal sects: Lingxiao Sect, Yaowang Valley, Guixu Sect, Taixu Temple, Hanhai Pavilion, and Yantian Sect. This time, it happens to be the turn of Guixu Sect to take charge of the token and preside over its opening.
Su Yue continued, "Senior Brother must also know that the qualification for this secret realm is precious, and each immortal sect only has twenty places."
Bai Qingchen nodded.
Previously on the floating island, Zhou Xuanyi had offered him a place, but he refused.
After all, he is now a disciple of Lingxiao Sect. Taking up a quota from another sect is not only unreasonable but also likely to attract criticism.
Su Yue's face showed a worried look. "According to convention, half of these twenty places were allocated by the peak masters, and the other ten were awarded to the top ten in this year's disciple competition. However, the last competition was disrupted by the demon cultivators and was terminated midway."
This is where the problem lies. The disciple competition is held every five years, and it will not be re-held after this unexpected termination.
The remaining ten places were discussed by the peak masters and the sect master and decided to be distributed equally to each peak. In this way, each peak can get two places.
This decision made countless inner disciples and even core disciples jealous.
In the past, Mo Zhiyuan, the head of Hanyuan Peak, never participated in such affairs and had not expressed his opinion on the quota for the secret realm for four hundred years. The other peaks tacitly assumed that Hanyuan Peak had given up the two quotas and had already divided the quotas in their minds.
However, this time, Han Yuanfeng, who had never participated, spoke up for the first time and clearly wanted to take the two places that should have belonged to them.
This time, it was like cold water dropped into a hot oil pan and exploded instantly.
