As soon as Sheng Ning stepped through the door, she was blinded by a huge pearl that was carelessly tossed in a corner.
Standing there, Sheng Ning swallowed hard, pointing to the pearl that was bigger than her head. "Master, what is that?"
Mo Jingchun casually grabbed a futon and sat down on the ground.
Hearing the question, he subconsciously looked up and followed his apprentice's finger.
His sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of doubt flashed across his handsome face, which was now blackened by the attack. "Those are things from my room?"
Sheng Ning feigned a puzzled expression, then pointed to the various magical artifacts and spiritual treasures piled up in the room, "What about these? Master doesn't remember what they are either?"
Mo Jingchun was tearing apart a chicken wing.
He blinked and said in a low voice, "I don't have a very good memory."
With an innocent look in his eyes, he saw Sheng Ning frowning and assumed she was in a bad mood.
Reluctantly, they put the roast goose aside.
He got up and went to the large pearl. When he bent down to pick it up, the pearl was so heavy that he fell forward.
Fortunately, Sheng Ning was standing right next to him, and she supported the pearl in his arms with one hand.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Qing'an once said, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' I can't teach you anything, so feel free to pick whatever you want here."
"You are very good, your teacher likes you very much."
Mo Jingchun still doesn't dare to look up at his newly initiated apprentice.
Now, when I talk to her and tell her I like her, my ears turn bright red.
Seeing his shy expression, Sheng Ning first glanced down at the large pearl in his arms, and then inadvertently revealed her true feelings.
"Master, before, our Invincible Sect... you weren't bandits, were you?"
The original text does not specify how wealthy the Invincible Sect is.
On the contrary, in order to highlight that Shi Yueyao always liked to go to Taixu Sect, the author portrayed the Invincible Sect, a small sect, as utterly worthless.
Despite being a sect that boasts geniuses in the cultivation world, they are inevitably looked down upon by outsiders whenever they step outside.
Since she arrived, she has discovered that the Invincible Sect is completely different from the description in the original work.
Fifth Senior Brother planted a whole hill of spiritual fruit.
The third and fourth senior brothers had so many pills and talismans that they could be piled up like a mountain.
And then there's Master Mo Jingchun's place. Standing outside the courtyard, the house looks small, but once you go inside, you'll find that it's surprisingly spacious and full of wonders.
With a furrowed brow, Sheng Ning had barely finished speaking when Mo Jingchun raised her head, her face flushed.
"No, impossible! Your master is honest and upright, how could I have done such a thing? Your master just... just..."
After waiting for most of the day, Mo Jingchun still hadn't heard any thunder overhead. Only then did he step forward and whisper in his little apprentice's ear.
“These are all the money Master has saved up over the years.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a clap of thunder sounded outside.
The next instant, a bolt of lightning cleaved the roof and struck him directly on the head.
"Waaah... Liar, you promised you wouldn't slap people's faces..."
As soon as Mo Jingchun opened his mouth, he exhaled a puff of white smoke.
He looked wronged; his lips twitched down, and his usually bright dog eyes were filled with tears.
Because a large hole had been cleaved in the roof, Sheng Ning could see dark clouds and lightning flashing overhead when he looked up.
She wanted to ask Mo Jingchun what exactly happened.
But it seems that if the other party says anything they shouldn't, they'll be struck by lightning.
Feeling sorry for the pitiful old man who was injured, Sheng Ning had no choice but to suppress her doubts and plan to ask Lu Qing'an and the others later why her master's courtyard was like this.
Mo Jingchun was huddled in a corner, not daring to even peek out, looking quite pitiful.
She bent down to pick up the roast goose from the prayer mat and slowly walked towards him. "Master, let's not talk about those things, let's eat the roast goose."
Mo Jingchun pursed her lips slightly, her face still showing defensiveness.
He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when the dark clouds overhead cleared.
Guai Guai also gave his little apprentice a futon, and the two of them sat cross-legged in the dilapidated house, eating roast goose.
During this time, Sheng Ning told him about what had happened to him and his senior brothers in the sect competition, and also told him the good news that the Invincible Sect had won first place.
Upon hearing that the Invincible Sect had won first place, Mo Jingchun's eyes widened immediately. "Really? You guys really won first place?"
Perhaps feeling that his appearance was too bold, he shrank back after asking the question, saying, "I was just asking."
Sheng Ning smiled and nodded at him, "You are our master, the sect leader of the Invincible Sect, so you can ask me anything."
"The Invincible Sect really won first place. The senior brothers are all very powerful."
She wanted to say that they had even entered Tianling Mountain in the secret realm, and even brought the divine beast Bai Ze out of Tianling Mountain.
I also think that the mainland will probably not be peaceful for long, because the intervention of evil cultivators means that demonic cultivators will also appear soon.
But the words were on the tip of her tongue when she silently swallowed them back.
Her master must have been subject to some kind of restriction, because anything he said related to the future or the past, no matter how much he said, would be heard by the cloud above his head.
The lightning strike was just a warning.
Otherwise, if the second senior brother said that Master was invincible, how could he be afraid of a mere bolt of lightning?
Upon hearing that his disciples had won the sect competition, Mo Jingchun's eyes revealed a smile of satisfaction. "First place, first place..."
Sheng Ning looked up at him, but in that instant, she seemed to see a glimmer of light in his eyes.
But the light flashed by too quickly; it disappeared before she could fully catch it.
Even after finishing the two roast geese, Mo Jingchun was still not satisfied.
Seeing that he had bitten off all the cartilage from the bone, Sheng Ning smiled helplessly and said, "The disciples who go down the mountain will bring you roast goose in the future."
"Besides roast goose, what else would you like to eat, Master?"
Sheng Ning's question stumped Mo Jingchun.
He shook his head and muttered, "I can't remember." When he looked up again, there was still lingering confusion and longing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Sheng Ning stopped making things difficult for him.
She stood up, bowed and said goodbye to him, "I will come to visit you again in the future. If you remember what you want to eat, you can tell me next time."
Seeing her bow, Mo Jingchun's pupils contracted, and he also bowed to her, saying, "Thank you... Aning."
There's no such thing as an elder bowing to a younger person.
Seeing that Mo Jingchun was bending over even more deeply than he was, Sheng Ning quickly lowered his waist and said, "Master, you are making me feel terrible."
"I...I don't know why..."
Sheng Ning: "...Master, I'm leaving."
Mo Jingchun bent down and said, "Take care, Aning."
Feeling a strange sense of familiarity with the scene, Sheng Ning scratched her head and walked out of the courtyard, still clutching the large pearl her master had given her as she left.
Left behind, Mo Jingchun stood alone in the house that had been cleaved open with a large hole.
He stared at the large hole above his head for a long time, and after a while, confusion flashed again in his glassy eyes.
"who I am?"
