Zhu Yi suddenly had a thought: if everything she saw in this dream had happened before, that meant... it was from her past life.
So, following the trajectory of this story, the entanglement between her, Su Linyuan, and Zhu Qianying is not just a one-time event.
If that's the case, then Xiao Zhuyi and Jiang Chenying in her dream probably can't get along peacefully.
Just as she would never be able to live peacefully with Zhu Qianying in her entire life.
"You're too kind, Fairy Jiang. I've only accepted a lot of compensation from the Jiang family and am just doing my duty." Jiang Lin lowered his eyes, taking in Jiang Chenying's slight awkwardness. "Fairy Jiang, there's no need to think too much. It's more important to rest and recover."
He was just doing his job for money and didn't want to get too involved with these noble ladies.
Baima Temple does not prohibit disciples who practice Buddhism with their hair intact from getting married, and he already has a daughter named Xiaozhuyi.
When he decided to bring Xiao Zhuyi out of Denglin, he had already decided to protect her.
If Xiao Zhuyi learns more and more in the future, and she is willing to become his Daoist partner, then he will marry her in a grand and glorious ceremony.
Jiang Lin calmly rejected Jiang Chenying.
"Will Senior Brother Jiang come to keep the appointment?" Jiang Chenying's eyes darkened slightly; she was still unwilling to give up.
A person who has always been pampered will feel a sense of loss when rejected, which makes her even more eager for Jiang Lin to attend the banquet.
Jiang Lin cupped his hands in a Buddhist salute: "Although I am a practitioner who keeps my hair, I still need to observe the precepts on a daily basis, and I rarely attend banquets."
"Fairy Jiang, please wait. I still need to go to the vegetable garden to weed. I'll take my leave now."
Jiang Chenying was rejected so clearly again, and she felt somewhat indignant.
Whatever she likes, it will obediently come to her side.
Which of the male cultivators around her didn't grant her every request?
Watching Jiang Lin's departing figure, she felt somewhat angry.
She quietly followed a few steps forward and discovered that Jiang Lin was holding the hand of a girl in pink, looking down and smiling as he spoke to her. He took out several books from his pocket and gave them to the girl.
The woman, who had been all smiles with Jiang Lin, was clearly less happy after seeing the scrolls, and they went to the vegetable garden together...
Jiang Chenying's face was gloomy. Jiang Lin would rather pay attention to an insignificant little female cultivator than to her, a noble lady from a prestigious family.
Zhu Yi followed Little Zhu Yi and drifted forward.
As she drifted along, she turned back to look at Jiang Chenying.
Jiang Chenying secretly followed Jiang Lin and Xiao Zhuyi for a while.
Zhu Yi felt that Jiang Chenying was indeed Zhu Qianying's past life; the way the two of them were jealous and vicious was so hateful!
Jiang Lin has already rejected you, why are you still indulging in wishful thinking?
In her anger, she didn't look where she was going and suddenly dodged, only to be bumped into by the garden gate.
Zhu Yi felt a sharp pain, as if she had fallen into an abyss, and her body suddenly lost all strength and fell heavily.
She couldn't help but complain: Isn't she in ghost form right now? Can't she just walk through doors without looking where she's going?
In an instant, the beautiful vegetable garden disappeared, and the figures of Xiao Zhuyi and Jiang Lin studying books also vanished.
When Zhu Yi opened her eyes, she found herself on a giant crystal lotus platform, surrounded by a special barrier that gave her a small space to breathe underwater.
There were many spiritual fruits around her. She carefully observed the lotus roots surrounding her and confirmed that she had been thrown to the bottom of the lotus lake by her master!
Opposite her, a black snake, about the size of a men's leather belt, was coiled and sleeping peacefully on a purple crystal lotus.
"Master Yujing actually put me with a snake!" Zhu Yi exclaimed in surprise. "This is terrible!"
When Zhu Yi climbed out of Lotus Lake, she was soaked to the bone.
Zhaocai is guarding the lotus lake, fishing.
"Awake?" Zhao Cai looked smug, somewhat excited to see Zhu Yi. "When are you going to grill the fish you promised me?"
Zhu Yi really wanted to say, why does Zhao Cai always want to grill fish whenever he sees her? She still doesn't know what's going on!
"Didn't I bake a lot for you?" Two months ago, before she got injured, she had cooked a lot of fish for Zhaocai.
It cost her quite a few spirit stones! Why is it still asking her for more? No way! She pursed her lips, refusing to accept Zhaocai's extortion.
"Is Master Yujing in the library right now?" Zhu Yi had many questions to ask.
"Meow! You don't need to ask. My master and Jinbao have gone on a trip, and we don't know when they'll be back!"
Zhu Yi's eyes widened.
“Master said that you can start cultivating again after you wake up…” Zhao Cai pretended to be profound.
A tactical pause, as if saying, "I won't continue unless you give me something in return."
"Hey, Sister Fortune, aren't you tired from fishing? How about I help you fish?"
Zhu Yi, the sycophant, immediately began to fawn over him.
After a while, Zhu Yi set up a small barbecue grill next to Lotus Lake and took out the seasoning for grilled fish from her storage bag.
Last time she went to Mingyue Market, she bought a lot of seasonings from the cultivation world from Xianzhen Pavilion, as well as cat spirit grass that Zhaocai loves to eat.
The lucky fish has stopped fishing and is now lazily lying on the small square wool blanket that Zhu Yi gave it.
"Meow~ This wool blanket is so comfortable," the lazy cat sighed.
"The master said that it's normal for your body to feel stiff and sore not long after your soul returned to its place. Sending you to clean the library and the spirit beast peak is to help your body and soul integrate better."
"I was planning to wait until your body was fully integrated before letting you start practicing the techniques your master gave you again, but then this happened, meow."
Zhu Yi flipped the fat fish over the charcoal fire; the fish meat was already sizzling and dripping oil, making Zhao Cai's eyes turn green with envy.
"And now? Has Master said anything about how I should cultivate now?"
Zhao Cai ignored her, arrogantly shaking its little head: "It's actually a good thing you were badly injured this time. Master said that your cultivation wasn't scattered; your pitiful cultivation has now merged into your body, straightening out all those disharmony points from before~ Meow~"
"Your pathetic cultivation level is too low!" Zhu Yi was provoked and became somewhat agitated.
"Meow! So, is Qi Refining stage cultivation considered impressive in the cultivation world?" Zhao Cai scoffed at her.
"Jinbao and I don't need to work hard to cultivate. We're both at the Nascent Soul stage now. Why is cultivation so troublesome for you humans?"
Zhao Cai took the grilled fish that Zhu Yi handed him, blew on it, and rolled his eyes at Zhu Yi as well.
Zhu Yi's face darkened: Look, this is the price of having too low a cultivation level; the cat will laugh at you!
"Meow! To be honest, your grilled fish is really delicious, meow!" Zhao Cai patted its round belly, its mouth dripping with oil, and praised Zhu Yi with a smile.
"Master also said that after you wake up, you can start practicing all the cultivation techniques in the ruby storage ring he gave you."
"If you ever encounter anything you don't understand, just ask the sect leader and the elders! I've already told you all this before I left."
Zhu Yi was touched that her master hadn't forgotten to make arrangements for her even while he was away. However, a thought suddenly crossed her mind: was this still considered being left to her own devices?
After Zhaocai finished eating, it carried its little wool blanket to a shady spot under a tree, spread it out with its little paws, and lay down again.
Before taking a nap, Zhao Cai remembered something and turned to Zhu Yi, who was tidying up the barbecue grill in the distance, saying, "Oh right, Master said you should first study 'The Lotus Heart Melody,' then find a sword technique to practice on your own. Also, Master instructed you to continue refining pills. As for the library and Spirit Beast Peak, you only need to go there three times a month from now on..."
Zhu Yi nodded repeatedly. Just as she was planning how to resume her cultivation, Zhao Cai said again, "You still have to keep grilling fish for me, meow! Master told me to stay and supervise your training!"
