The outer disciples were woken up in the middle of the night and were terrified to see such a large crowd gathered outside. They looked at each other, not daring to move.
Like chicks surrounded by a powerful being, each of them wore a look of fear and unease.
Zhou Qiuqiu sensed that this was definitely not a good thing, so she immediately told the children to hide in the room and not come out. If things went wrong, one of the children would run away first and then come back to rescue them.
But actually, the little one was secretly peeking from behind the window, so nervous that his paws were clenching tightly.
He definitely wouldn't abandon Zhou Qiuqiu and the others and run away alone. Even if something bad happens, he will definitely go out to protect them. So the cub has already begun to be on guard and is even thinking about how to make a cool entrance.
Meanwhile, from above, the sect leader had already sent a telepathic message down to question the disciples about which one was usually bullied and ostracized.
In this situation, Zhou Qiujiu had no way to escape by trickery and could only stand out with her crippled leg under everyone's gaze.
The sect leader's imposing gaze swept over Zhou Qiujiu from top to bottom.
He is definitely not a good candidate for cultivation.
According to the rule of the cultivation world that the strong rule, calling him a piece of trash is indeed not wrong.
They didn't care about an ordinary disciple at all; all their thoughts were focused on the cub.
When the sect leader saw Zhou Qiuqiu, he couldn't help but wonder how an ordinary person like her could gain the favor of a divine beast, and whether she had forced the divine beast to recognize her as its master.
If this kid does anything to mistreat the divine beast, the entire Tianyan Sect will be wiped out today.
By this point, the sect leader had already prepared for the worst.
But before he could speak, the Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable couldn't wait any longer and asked directly:
Have you ever seen a plump, round baby bird?
Zhou Qiuqiu shook her head firmly: "No."
With his keen insight, Qinglong had already seen through Zhou Qiuqiu's scheming and calculations.
But he can't expose it directly, what if he hides the cub in a fit of anger and can't find it?
So even he, the Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable, patiently continued to use kind words to try and get information out of the humans.
He changed the subject, but the topic took an unexpected turn.
Qinglong actually asked Zhou Qiuqiu, "What are the treatments like for outer sect disciples? How many meals a day? Are they ever full?"
Actually, it was because Qinglong remembered Qianyuan's words once again.
I also remembered that the little guy had a strong obsession with food.
I cry when I feel hungry, when the food is bad, or when there are no snacks to eat.
After he returned that day, he was as if possessed. He sent someone to buy a large table of food for children from a restaurant in the mortal realm and deliver it to his cave. Only after the food arrived did he realize that no one was coming to eat.
He even looked forward to the return of that snow-white child.
That silly, clumsy child...
Qinglong couldn't explain how he felt when he thought of Qianyuan, nor did he dare to think about it.
He was afraid that if he continued thinking about it, it would be unfair to his egg.
His egg is the most pitiful. It wasn't born by his side, nor was it raised by its parents. It's still wandering around outside. He can't think about the other children right now.
Qinglong closed his eyes briefly, then came to his senses and waited for Zhou Qiujiu's reply.
Zhou Jiujiu honestly replied, "Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes are good, enough to fill me up."
Qinglong then asked, "Where are you from? What region are you from? Who are your family members?"
Zhou Qiuqiu immediately fell silent, but she had to withstand the pressure and could only answer: "No father or mother, no background, an orphan."
At this moment, Ruo Piaoxue and Ruo Liufeng squeezed in and stood next to Zhou Qiujiu:
“We are all from the State of Yu, all orphans who have been abandoned, so we have joined together to support each other.”
Qinglong's expression grew even more serious: "And what about your food, clothing, and daily necessities?"
The siblings are completely oblivious to their surroundings. Even though Zhou Qiujiu had earnestly instructed them to let her handle everything, the two siblings were like uncontrollable huskies with big leaks.
Perhaps they just wanted to help Zhou Qiuqiu clear her name.
“We lived in much worse conditions than this before! We stayed in a dilapidated temple that no one ever went to. There were no pillows, beds, or blankets. We just scavenged rotten straw outside to cover ourselves.”
"Even food is obtained by begging outside. Zhou Qiuqiu has bad legs and can't walk to beg. She can only tell us that we should beg from people who wear luxurious clothes and ride in luxurious carriages."
"Thankfully, later on... a kind, noble, and adorable little bird helped us! He works very hard, watching over us while we do our chores, and serving us food and water. Without him, this family would fall apart!"
"Yes, it will dissipate!"
Zhou Qiuqiu pursed her lips, feeling that she had nothing more to add.
What else to add? Both large colanders emptied it all out.
The sect leader initially felt sorry for the children, but it was strange that the bird was the mainstay. It was just a small job like pouring water, so why was it being treated so well?
After he finished speaking, the sect leader finally realized which bird he was referring to.
"Holy crap..."
The sect leader couldn't help but curse.
The disciple beside him also asked in a low voice, "Sect Leader, where are you going?"
Sect Leader: ...
Forget it, everyone around me is equally capable, like a pair of brilliant minds.
Sect Leader & Zhou Qiujiu: I'm so tired.
Just when they were feeling exhausted, Qinglong felt he had asked all the questions he needed to ask. Then, with a wave of his hand, a plump little bird burst out of the window and flew rapidly toward him.
