As expected, the master leads you in, but the cultivation depends on the individual. Lingmeng Island has truly reached its end.
Hua Xiangyun couldn't believe it either. "I thought the other party was incredibly capable to dare to collude with outsiders to harm the Guo family. Is he here to settle scores with us or what?"
With such cultivation, it seems unlikely? Or is the other party very confident that they can face a Xuanmen practitioner who can break the Nine Dragons Returning Formation?
"The Nine Dragons Returning to One Formation has absolutely nothing to do with him, and given his age, he's not involved at all. He's just a disciple left behind by Lingmeng Island, and he's probably here to see if he can find any bargains."
Hua Xiangyun: "...They're really bold."
"So the most important thing is to have self-awareness. Sometimes arrogance and complacency are a disease, and they can be fatal," Wu Chenxi sighed. She had seen many such people in her life—they became incredibly arrogant after achieving a little success, but their endings were often...
Hua Xiangyun: "How long will this condition last?"
"That depends on his understanding. If he can let go completely, he will get over it quickly; otherwise, he will have a long way to go."
After Wu Chenxi finished speaking, she called her apprentices to go into the kitchen to eat. The weather was cold, and the food couldn't be kept for long.
Jiang Yi, bundled up tightly, came into the house and saw Kuang Wu standing there. He merely raised an eyebrow and then carried the things to the kitchen to put them away.
"Why did you come all this way in this cold weather?" Hua Xiangyun led him to the stove and poured him a glass of water. "You went into the mountains again?"
Jiang Yi said, "It's more convenient for us to hunt here. I've already taken care of all of this, so you can put it away."
His storage bag couldn't keep things fresh for very long, so the safest way was to entrust it to Hua Xiangyun for safekeeping.
"Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck this time. I only caught some rabbits and pheasants, and I couldn't even catch a muntjac." Now that it's winter, it's time to nourish myself.
Hua Xiangyun glanced at it and saw that it wasn't just neatly prepared, but also chopped into small pieces. In this cold weather, it was all frozen.
He set aside a plate of chopped pheasant meat, and put the rest into his ring. "Don't be too busy. We're going to hibernate soon. I'll go with you then."
Although she had to work in the fields, Jiang Yi also had to go to work. He also used the night to hunt, which was still too tiring.
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Yi finished his water before asking, "What's the deal with that person outside?"
Hua Xiangyun briefly explained that Jiang Yi hadn't expected the other party to dare to come to his door again. "He's not very bright, but his sect is also considered to be selling out Guo. He probably came here with the same mentality."
Hua Xiangyun said, "Even if he has such thoughts now, he hasn't put them into practice yet, so it's not appropriate for his master to punish him."
However, if we allow such a person with ulterior motives to grow unchecked, we fear that he might cause even greater trouble one day.
Such a person with weak will is most easily bribed, and once he makes a mistake, the losses may not be able to be recovered.
Hua Xiangyun pondered for a moment and said, "My master told me last time that the higher-ups are preparing to re-count the Xuanmen sorcerers. When they report his situation to the higher-ups, someone will naturally keep an eye on him."
There's one more thing I forgot to ask you. If you come to register, do you want to include it in your information as well?
Jiang Yi didn't answer directly, but instead looked at Hua Xiangyun and asked, "What do you think?"
Hua Xiangyun: "This is your own life, how could I possibly make decisions for you?"
Anyway, my mentor and I will definitely report it.
If Hua Xiangyun hadn't become an apprentice, she could have chosen to report it or not. But Wu Chenxi was different; she was a prominent figure in the Xuanmen sect. As her apprentice, how could she possibly remain unscathed?
"Then I won't report it," Jiang Yi said. He picked up cultivation again because of Hua Xiangyun. He didn't want the two of them to be of different generations in appearance when they grew old.
“I won’t be doing this job in the future, so there’s no need for me to take up a spot.”
Hua Xiangyun could understand. As his master's only son, Jiang Yi hadn't relied on his master too much. Instead, he had been free and unrestrained abroad for many years, and his personality had already formed. There was no need to force him to change.
"The exam results should be out soon. When are you going back to the county town after you finish here?" Jiang Yi wanted to hug him as soon as he entered the door, but since it was Master Wu's house, he kept to himself.
"Let's wait until the results come out. Then we can leave openly and honestly." Hua Xiangyun felt that day wouldn't be far off, so she didn't dwell on these things.
She has persevered for so long, so it's only right to bring it to a perfect end. No matter what career she pursues in the future, this will be a milestone in her life.
Jiang Yi sighed, but ultimately didn't force her. No matter how willful his wife was, it would only be a few days, and he could wait.
"By the way, something interesting happened in the compound today." Jiang Yi didn't want to gossip, but he thought of the feud between Hua Xiangyun and Zhou Xiaolan and decided to mention it anyway.
"Today, many people came to the Zhou family and said that Zhou Xiaolan had borrowed some documents from them before, but had not returned them."
Many people said they felt uncertain after the exam and wanted to take their study materials back to review, but Zhou Xiaolan and her husband kept avoiding them.
Having no other option, everyone went to the Zhou and He families to confront them.
They made a racket in the courtyard for most of the day, but those two people never showed up. I remember you went to the countryside with a few classmates, right? Did they borrow it too?
Hua Xiangyun: "...It seems like I already borrowed it. I'll have to go to the village tomorrow to ask."
"You said there are only two of them, why do they need so much information?"
"This issue has been discussed by everyone this afternoon. In addition, some people have heard rumors that candidates from several nearby villages have exchanged items for study materials. It may be the work of these two."
Hua Xiangyun, "...she does have a good business sense, but she doesn't follow the right path."
It's incredibly foolish to use other people's things to line your own pockets, thinking that no one will ever notice.
However, this kind of reckless behavior is quite like their personalities. I wonder how they will break out of this predicament.

He Ping'an's rented room
The two people hiding in a rented room in the village are now feeling uneasy.
"These people all went to the factory to block me. If I hadn't left through the back door, they would have caught me by now. You should think of a way to get those documents back as soon as possible."
We agreed that it was just a loan, not a sale.
He Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about how many people would come looking for him.
Zhou Xiaolan doesn't have a job, so she can hide here, but he can't.
The factory probably knows about this now, and I don't know if I can keep my job.
It's all Zhou Xiaolan's fault. She swore before that she was just lending it to them, but so many days have passed, why hasn't she brought the documents back?
