Chapter 329: The Monster Appears
Yun Qingqing noticed that Mr. Zhuang's eldest son, who was leading the crowd, was walking with a limp.
Zhuang Qinghong's gaze also fell on his eldest son, and he sighed sadly.
"Father, you called us here so urgently, is there something important happening?"
When the eldest son saw that everyone had arrived, he stepped forward and asked.
Zhuang Qinghong straightened his clothes and bowed to the younger generations.
Everyone was startled. Zhuang Lao's two sons hurried forward to help him and said urgently:
"Father, what is this doing? Has something happened?"
Zhuang Qinghong took a deep breath and said loudly:
"I made a huge mistake many years ago, which harmed many of our young people. Today, I hereby apologize to everyone in the banker!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the eldest son opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by him raising his hand.
"Fortunately, we have the honor of inviting Master Qingyun. This matter will finally come to an end. I called you all here today to bear witness and warn future generations to learn from my mistakes and not repeat them!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Yun Qingqing and bowed:
"Thank you, Master!"
When he mentioned Master Qingyun, everyone made a low commotion and looked towards Yun Qingqing in surprise.
Many people noticed this stunning and extraordinary girl from the beginning, and they did not expect that she was the legendary Qingyun Zhenren of Tianming Pavilion.
Yun Qingqing nodded, walked a few steps to an open space beside the pond, raised her slender hand, and several yellow lights flew out from her hand in all directions and disappeared from sight.
"The one in the water, do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want me to tie you out?" Yun Qingqing shouted towards the pond.
Everyone was shocked. What did the master mean by this?
Is there something else in the pond?
Everyone couldn't help but look at the pond, and saw only a few ripples on the water surface caused by the breeze, and no movement at all.
Yun Qingqing sneered:
"I wanted to give you some respect, so don't blame me for taking action."
As she spoke, she raised two fingers, and a yellow talisman appeared out of thin air on her hand. She shook it again, and the talisman paper changed shape in a flash of light, and in a moment it turned into a long whip held in Yun Qingqing's hand.
She raised her hand and whipped the ball into the water.
There was not much noise when the whip hit the water, but a moment later there was a loud bang, and the water surface suddenly exploded with a splash over ten feet high, and a white shadow whooshed into the sky!
A sharp and angry voice rang out in the air!
"You are just a little girl. I didn't want to pay any attention to you, but you insisted on seeking death!"
The white shadow transformed into a human figure standing in the air, looking like a handsome white-faced scholar. But after he shouted loudly, three huge white tails stretched out from behind him and rolled towards Yun Qingqing!
Yun Qingqing sneered and put away the whip, then reached out to take out the green hairpin from under her head, summoned Dawn and held it in her hand.
The white-faced scholar's face changed drastically the moment he sensed Poxiao's murderous intent, and he hurriedly retracted his white tail, but he was still a step too late, and the tip of his tail was effortlessly cut off by Poxiao.
He let out a scream, and without saying a word, turned into a ball of white light and tried to escape.
However, the white light had just escaped for less than a few feet when it hit an invisible wall with a "bang". A golden light burst out at the point of impact, and some mysterious symbols could be vaguely seen flashing by.
The white light was deformed by this impact, and it staggered to the ground and turned into a furry ball.
It turned out to be a white fox with three tails, one of which was missing a piece and dripping with blood.
Yun Qingqing flashed in front of the thing with a sword in hand, pointed the sword at it and said coldly:
"You, a fox demon, tricked a young child into signing a contract with you sixty years ago, and took away the fortune of the descendants of the Zhuang family for your own cultivation. Today is the time to settle accounts!"
"Master, spare my life!" The white fox begged in human language at a very fast speed, "I am a little demon who didn't recognize the great man! Please don't kill me! I am willing to serve you as my master, and from now on I will work like a cow and a horse for you to repay your kindness of not killing me!"
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"It's okay to spare your life, but I don't need you to acknowledge me as your master. What you need to do is to compensate the banker for the fortune he has lost over the years!"
The white fox froze, holding up its tail pitifully, hesitating for a moment, and then said with determination:
"When I signed the contract with Er Gou sixty years ago, I only had one tail. These two tails were cultivated by borrowing half of the fortune of his descendants. Now the fortune cannot be returned. I... I am willing to cut off my two tails to apologize, and I beg the master to spare my life!"
After saying this, it turned its head, closed its eyes, and was about to bite the base of its tail.
Yun Qingqing raised Dawn and smashed the back of the sword on the fox's head with a bang. The white fox hugged its head with stars in its eyes.
Yun Qingqing put away the Dawn and said speechlessly:
"Are you stupid?"
"...Ah?" The white fox looked at her pitifully.
Yun Qingqing said:
"You also know that the good fortune has not returned. Will it be useful to cut off both tails? Can the losses of the banker be compensated?"
The white fox's expression fell, and suddenly he stood up like a human being and knelt down to Yun Qingqing:
"Master, please give me some guidance and tell me what to do!"
Yun Qingqing stared at it for a moment and said calmly:
"You will find out in the future that although your method of borrowing luck can increase your cultivation rapidly in the short term, it will leave hidden dangers for your future cultivation. Once you reach a certain level, it will be difficult to make further progress."
"...Yes." The white fox said dejectedly, "But the spiritual energy in this world is thin, and it is difficult for us monsters to practice. If we don't even take care of the present, how can we think about the future... But although I had selfish motives back then, I really didn't mean to harm anyone. I didn't know that the consequences of this contract would be so serious..."
"You don't know what it means?" After listening for a long time, Mr. Zhuang finally couldn't help but said angrily, "If you hadn't taken away the fortune of my descendants in the name of debt collection every once in a while over the years, how could my eldest son be disabled!"
"With my second son's talent, how could he have an accident every time before the Spring Examination and fail every time?"
"And my poor grandson, who was hit by a car half a year ago and is still lying unconscious in the hospital bed! Isn't this all your fault?"
"How dare you say you didn't know!"
"That's not the case!" White Fox said anxiously, "The contract only allows me to borrow your luck, but I can't control how it happens!"
"The contract will automatically absorb the luck of your descendants and split it in two, half will be transferred to you, and the other half will belong to me... It is true that they got into trouble because of the loss of luck, but it was definitely not done by me!"
"To be honest, I've regretted everything I've done for you over the past few years, but I don't know how to cancel this contract..."
Old Master Zhuang's face twitched slightly. This fox didn't directly tell him that he was always looking for death, but he couldn't help feeling guilty.
The white fox said again:
"I can only try my best to keep an eye on your descendants, but there are too many people in your family. No matter how hard I try, there will always be omissions..."
"Wait a moment!" Mr. Zhuang stared at it and said, "Can you still be so kind?"
Yun Qingqing spoke at this time:
"It's true. Just go and find out how deep the pond is."
Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Yun Qingqing fiercely, pointed at the spot where the little girl had just fallen and said in surprise:
"Could it be that Ah Miao..."
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"That spot is high enough to drown a child. Your great-granddaughter was able to get to shore safely because of the fox's secret help."
After she said this, Mr. Zhuang fell silent.
The white fox was also stunned for a moment, and suddenly howled aggrievedly:
"Master, you already knew about this! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
