"Holy crap, why are you back?" Ling Yuan couldn't help but swear.
"You just ran back so openly, aren't you afraid your master will find out?" Yan Xi asked seriously as she swayed the branches.
"Probably not, I left a wisp of my consciousness there," the little light said, shrinking back slightly.
"What are you doing here? Speak up if you have something to say, or you'll be in big trouble if the master finds out." Fire Spirit also adopted a serious attitude.
"When the master fully recovers in the future, I hope that you brothers and sisters will put in a good word for me in front of the master, considering how much effort I have put in today."
As Little Light spoke, it started sobbing sadly again.
These past few days have been really tough; I've told a whole bunch of lies.
And they always try to cheat.
Although it was all for the sake of the bigger picture.
It had tried to comfort itself with this thought many times, but every time it woke up in the middle of the night, the thought of its owner fully recovering and bringing up old grievances...
It felt like its heart was filled with weeds.
"Don't call me that. It took you so long to get used to it. What if you accidentally say it again and the master notices?" Huo Qing said hurriedly.
The little light spot immediately shut up; it was already going to great lengths to deceive its owner.
If it arouses further suspicion, it should just bang its head against a brick wall.
"They always say on Blue Star, 'Death is inevitable for everyone, but some deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather...'" Ling Yuan said with a smile.
"Waaah, Sister Peach." Little Light looked aggrieved.
Back then, the roles were decided by drawing lots; whoever drew the shortest one would become the system.
It's the smallest, would it dare to try and shoot the longer ones?
"Don't worry, Master loves you the most, and what you did was for the greater good. Master will definitely forgive you," Yan Xi comforted him.
"Really?" Little Light asked, sobbing.
“Of course,” Yan Xi said firmly.
"We have been taking turns caring for and nourishing your physical body to ensure that it will be as good as new when you return," the Fire Spirit said.
"Thank you, everyone." Little Light felt much better after that.
"Don't take any more risks in the future. If the master finds out, you'll be in real trouble."
"Also, remember your current identity. You are Xiao Hao, the system of the master. You have also read quite a few novels from Blue Star before. Recall them when you have time."
"Remember, always maintain the proper posture and be mindful of your status, so as not to arouse the master's suspicion."
"Only in this way can we ensure that the master recovers smoothly and returns," Yan Xi earnestly instructed.
"Don't worry, Sister Tao, I understand everything." Little Light nodded solemnly: "In front of Master... no, in front of Host, I always maintain the perfect demeanor."
"Alright, go back now."
"Although you won't exhaust your energy like you did when you communicated with outsiders last time, it will still waste your energy."
"These are special times, we can't act rashly now, we must use everything wisely." Yan Xi said, as the branches swayed, and a wisp of green light merged into the small light spot.
"Don't worry, now that we're no longer in our master's space, we'll have more opportunities to communicate, and we'll help you a lot in the future," Ling Yuan said.
"Yes, we will all help you make proper arrangements in this world, striving to welcome our master back as soon as possible," Fire Spirit said.
"Remember, we must not let the master perceive her power yet, otherwise the scattered divine power will unconsciously return prematurely, and this world is too fragile to withstand it." Yan Xi solemnly instructed again, "We must wait for the origin to return first."
"I understand." The little dot of light tapped the air forcefully. "Don't worry, everyone, I will try my best."
Then it flew away with a whoosh.
Bai Qingqing had already used the flower cakes to give Yuexi and Bai Wenyuan the reward for forging the Spirit Gathering Cauldron.
As they were talking, he suddenly frowned.
"Qingqing, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Yuexi asked worriedly, though it was impossible, it was a mother's instinct.
"It's nothing." Bai Qingqing smiled. "I just felt like something suddenly flew by."
Xiao Hao in Bai Qingqing's mind was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
Waaah, it will never run away again, host, please, please don't doubt Xiao Hao.
"There's nothing there," Yuexi said, looking around.
"I must be seeing things," Bai Qingqing said, not paying any attention.
Xiao Hao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, Mother and Father, you should rest early. I'll head back now." After sitting for a while, Bai Qingqing stood up and said.
"You should get some rest too." Yuexi reached out and patted Bai Qingqing's head, her eyes filled with affection. "I'm going to Tianyuan City tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
"Okay." Bai Qingqing nodded. "What time? So I can come early."
“No need to be too early, any time is fine,” Yuexi said.
"Then I'll come over after I eat," Bai Qingqing said, and then left cheerfully.
Before heading back, they also gave the six Bai brothers a bouquet of fresh flower cakes.
Just as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, the communication stone on Wukong's waist lit up again.
"Who is it?" Bai Qingqing asked casually.
Wukong had no choice but to infuse a wisp of spiritual energy, from which came Bai Wenyuan's voice: "Wukong, do you have time?"
"Old Sect Master, what brings you here?" Wukong replied immediately.
"I got a fire-attribute stone, and I thought it would be perfect for you. If you have time now, come and get it." Bai Wenyuan understood and phrased it differently.
"Master, may I go?" Wukong looked up at Bai Qingqing and asked.
"Go ahead." Bai Qingqing squatted down, rubbed Wukong's head, and said, "Remember to come back soon."
"Okay." Wukong nodded. "Goodbye, Master."
After saying that, he quickly left.
I wonder what Bai Wenyuan wants to talk to me about at this time?
After returning to the courtyard, Bai Qingqing went straight to the study.
He glanced at the pet egg on the desk and wondered to himself, "Xiao Hao, do you know what kind of pet egg this is?"
"I don't know," Xiao Hao replied crisply.
For the sake of the overall situation, it must remain steadfast.
“Other people’s systems are all-powerful, but your system either doesn’t have enough permissions or doesn’t know anything,” Bai Qingqing casually complained.
"Is the host disgusted with Xiao Hao? Xiao Hao has been working so hard for the host..."
"Stop, I was just saying it offhand." Bai Qingqing immediately reassured him, "I know, our Xiaohao is the best."
"The diligent and best Xiao Hao is now reminding the host that the winner-takes-all points tower is now open. Please choose when to open it, or not to open it."
