Of course, Mu Huan wasn't the only one stunned. Mu Qing was also shocked. So being Elder Liang Ci's apprentice offered such good treatment?! Mu Qing, a grown man, suddenly began to envy Mu Huan.
"Master?" Mu Huan suspected that his master had been replaced by someone else. Didn't his master dislike socializing? Seeing Liang Ci holding his hand with his fair, slender hand, Mu Huan's heart was about to explode.
"What's wrong?" Liang Ci turned around and looked at Mu Huan, his eyes full of warmth, not as cold as before. Mu Huan only then realized that someone could be so beautiful. No matter what, they were still so beautiful! To say that they were stunningly talented was not an exaggeration at all!
At this moment, Mu Huan really felt that those strangers who were as beautiful as jade and young masters who were unparalleled in the world, and those elegant young masters who were as gentle as jade, were all empty talk in front of Liang Ci.
"But don't you like your master holding your hand?" Liang Ci suddenly felt that he might have been a little reckless, so he suddenly let go of Mu Huan's hand.
"No!" Mu Huan turned around and grabbed Liang Ci's loose hand, "I really like Master holding my hand!" There was obvious joy on his face!
Liang Ci's lips curled up slightly. As long as she doesn't dislike him, that's all! He didn't know when it started, but he slowly began to lose confidence! He didn't want to let her go, even if the Three Lives Stone had doomed them to be together! Even if the Book of Life and Death had doomed them to live and die together!
Mu Qing followed behind, confused. Looking at Liang Ci and Mu Huan, he felt something strange. He rubbed his head, but couldn't figure out what was so strange. He simply gave up thinking about it.
"Greetings, Elder Liang Ci." This was the scene as Mu Huan entered. Tan Tailuo, Qi Chu, and Muchen stood on either side, ready for battle. Tea had already been prepared on the table.
"You guys, this is too much!" Mu Huan carelessly picked up the water on the table and poured it directly into her mouth. She was almost dying of thirst after talking to her master just now. "I've never seen you treat me like this before." Mu Huan felt a little jealous.
As expected, people who are good-looking and strong are indeed worthy of this. Mu Huan sighed deeply, and she was actually jealous of her master.
"Sit down. I still need to explain something to you!" Liang Ci walked over to the table and sat down as close to Mu Huan as possible. The others relaxed, knowing that what Liang Ci was about to do was crucial and couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Master, is there something wrong with Yunxue City?" Mu Huan had a hunch that something big might be happening in Yunxue City this time.
"Do you know the guardian beast of Yunxue City?" He stretched out his hand and casually poured a cup of tea. Although it didn't taste as good as the one he usually drank, it wasn't too bad either.
"Isn't that the Water Qilin that Elder Liang Ci was talking about?" If it really was a Water Qilin, this matter might not be that simple. Tan Tai Luo clenched his hands unconsciously.
"That's right!" Liang Ci stared at someone for a rare moment, and he stared at Tan Tai Luo for a long time. "If I'm not mistaken, the Water Qilin should have been the guardian beast of your Tan Tai clan."
"That's right!" Tan Tai Luo took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turning red. "To be more precise, that's my natal beast!"
She had long been accustomed to not looking at the shock in Mu Huan and the others' eyes.
"Back then, I still remember summoning the Water Qilin on my fifth birthday. However, my biological mother forcibly severed the blood connection between me and the Water Qilin the next day and gave it to the Lord of Yunxue City, her brother."
Mu Huan felt uncomfortable when she saw that the usually optimistic and carefree Tan Tai Luo suddenly choked up.
"It's hard to believe, right? I don't understand why my biological mother would do this to me! I always knew she didn't like me, but I never thought she would actually want to kill me. Who would have thought that I would survive!"
Everyone on the Spirit Cultivation Continent knows that every spiritual cultivator has their own natal spirit beast, which is connected to the host through blood. If the spirit beast is damaged or dies, or if the connection is forcibly severed by the outside world, the host's life will be in great danger.
Mu Huan gently patted Tan Tai Luo's back. She didn't know why or how to comfort her because she had never experienced any of this.
"It's all in the past. I've let it go a long time ago, and my father divorced her because of this incident. In fact, I haven't seen her for many years. She is just an insignificant person to me." If she hadn't come to Yunxue City this time, she might have almost forgotten it.
"Oh! Why are you feeling so melancholy?" Tan Tailuo couldn't stand being so sentimental. "Elder Liangci, please continue!"
"The Lord of Yunxue City may be using the power of the Water Qilin to lure out the Fire Qilin." Liang Ci stroked his slender fingers, his eyes cold. Actually, he didn't want to get involved in these matters, but after taking a look at Mu Huan, he had to!
"Fire Qilin? I'm afraid the environment in Yunxue City is not suitable!" Mu Huan widened her eyes. She had never heard that a fire-type spirit beast would not fear death and go to a place that was incompatible with its own attributes.
"Also, why did you summon the Fire Kirin?"
Liang Ci shook his head. He didn't care about the matter and didn't delve into it. However, "The only thing that is certain is that the Lord of Yunxue City is secretly cultivating puppets."
"Puppet? Isn't this a forbidden technique? What on earth does he want to do?" Mu Qing didn't know much about spiritual creatures like puppets, but he vaguely remembered that puppetry was listed as a forbidden technique in ancient books.
"Puppet!" Mu Huan murmured. Why did she feel a sense of familiarity? Was she possessed? Looking at her own hands, she seemed to see blood all over them.
"What's wrong?" Liang Ci suddenly put his hand on Mu Huan's. Feeling the coldness in Liang Ci's hand, Mu Huan instantly woke up.
"Yeah, nothing!" Mu Huan gave Liang Ci a wide grin. "Master, don't worry about me. Let's quickly find a way to solve this thorny problem in Yunxue City!"
Mu Huan blamed his sudden bout of madness on the drawbacks of his own lightning-attributed spiritual power. He clenched his fists, determined to quickly obtain the Rain Spirit Flower, or else it would harm him sooner or later.
"This matter can only be solved by you yourselves. I just came here to pass on a message." Don't those old guys in the academy want to see how far they can go?
Mu Huan also understood. After all, those old elders of Youshan Academy had no idea what they were thinking. It was clearly a simple herb-collecting mission, but they had forcibly increased the difficulty, and the difficulty was really not a little bit.
As if he had thought of something, Mu Huan said, "By the way, Master, do you know the Lord of the Holy Temple?"
