Even though he knew that he was disliked, he still wanted to spoil her.
Wen Jing, who was disliked by the little girl and felt uncomfortable being held, took the little girl down the mountain and silently changed back into the appearance of the fiery little beast. The little girl happily put him in her arms and walked towards the teleportation array.
Because there was no clothes for the little girl in Wen Jing's storage ring, and Chu Ci, an outer disciple, did not have a storage ring, Chu Ci finally wore the clothes he wore when he went into the mountains, so he looked a little embarrassed.
He was holding a fiery-colored fur ball in his arms, his two little paws resting on the little girl's arms, his big fluffy tail swaying slightly behind him, his pair of golden-red eyes looking at the people around him with a bit of nonchalance, and a hint of depression could be vaguely seen.
When they arrived at the teleportation array back to Lingyi Sect, the disciples guarding there breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chu Ci coming back.
After all, Chu Ci spent too much time in the mountains. It was obvious that what she needed to find was just outside the city, so there was not much risk. The time given by the sect was generally the longest time required to complete the task. If she did not return after this time, people from the sect would organize a search.
However, seeing Chu Ci in such a miserable state, the disciple guarding the formation did not say much and quickly sent Chu Ci back.
Chu Ci, holding Wen Jing, had just gone up the mountain. Before she reached the door, she heard a commotion outside. Several peak masters were gathered beside her little house. She also saw a few acquaintances, including Xu Xingyuan and Feng Yu.
The atmosphere around seemed a little serious.
A trace of confusion flashed across Chu Ci's eyes, and Wen Jing in her arms frowned even more. Looking at the people gathered together, he vaguely heard a few words in his ears, and a trace of understanding flashed across his eyes.
Sure enough, it was because of this incident. Then the hint of understanding was replaced by ridicule in his eyes. It has been such a long time, and this group of people just reacted?
Is it too late?
At this moment, Xu Xingyuan saw Chu Ci, who was walking towards him with a confused and slightly embarrassed look on her face. He raised his hand and pointed at her in a slightly harsh voice, "Master, look, there she is!"
Among the gathered peak masters, a middle-aged man who looked a bit fierce turned sideways and looked at Chu Ci. With a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, he looked Chu Ci up and down, and then said in a deep voice, "Xingyuan, is it true as you said that it was Chu Ci who hit you unconscious that day?"
"Master, I'm sure. Besides, there was no other person's presence there at that time." Xu Xingyuan gritted his teeth slightly and looked at Chu Ci with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"Master, if what Xingyuan said is true, then Chu Ci should have been possessed by those monsters by now. And that day happened to be when the sacred object was damaged and Venerable Wen Jing disappeared, and there was no trace of other people around..."
"Master Buluo, aren't your words a bit too hasty?" Another serious-looking man standing next to the head of the sect interrupted him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Doesn't that mean Peak Master Mu Ri has a better explanation?"
Hearing this, the man paused, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Chu Ci lowered her eyes and looked at the small ball in her arms, "Your Excellency?"
Wen Jing looked up at her when he heard that. His eyes were lazy and had a hint of a smile, as if to say -
It’s okay, go ahead and make a fuss. If anything happens, I’ll cover for you, right?
