"What do you need this for?" An Zhengzheng couldn't understand.
Zhou Xu himself couldn't really explain it.
Ever since he and Zhou Yu'er left the team, for some reason, whenever he encountered any monster, he would think about An Zhengzheng's team.
Seeing that An Zhengzheng seemed a bit worried, he subconsciously blurted it out.
Zhou Xu coughed lightly twice, feeling somewhat flustered as he lied for the first time: "...I have sisters in my clan who belong to the Hehuan Sect."
He didn't even dare to look at An Zhengzheng.
An Zhengzheng didn't think much of it. After all, the Zhou family had a strong sense of clan responsibility, otherwise Zhou Xu wouldn't have left the team because of Zhou Yu'er's matter.
“Okay, then I’ll trade with you.” An Zhengzheng handed him the Jade of Affection.
Looking at those fair and delicate hands, Zhou Xu's heart pounded, and he gave her several talismans as well.
As his hands touched, he felt the calluses that An Zhengzheng had developed from wielding a knife and sword.
"I'll be going now. I've broken Senior Brother Pei Jin's mental magic array this time, so I need to go back and tell him what happened."
An Zhengzheng was very satisfied with the deal and flew back to her mountain on her sword without looking back.
Sure enough, when she arrived at the top of the mountain, her senior brother Peijin had been waiting for her at the gate for a long time.
"Senior Brother Peijin, have you been waiting for a long time?" An Zhengzheng checked the jade slip and found that there was indeed no news of Senior Brother Peijin.
Upon hearing the sound, Pei Jin, who was sitting on the ground, also stopped circulating her spiritual energy.
He got up quickly, glanced at her from head to toe, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you use that jade pendant?"
"My sister is always being disturbed by people because of me, so I let her use it to stop her from being disturbed all the time."
After hearing this, Pei Jin thought for a moment and said, "I should have sent something better."
“I’m already very grateful to my senior brother,” An Zhengzheng said earnestly. “By the way, about the mind magic array…”
"I'm really sorry, senior brother. You worked so hard to create this magic array, but I destroyed it completely."
Pei Jin waved her hand: "That's fine. I'm just curious about the claim that this magic array never breaks. It usually dissipates automatically when the time is up."
The more he talked, the more confused he became: "What exactly did you do?"
“This…” An Zhengzheng said somewhat guiltily, “I slaughtered all the living creatures inside.”
"Which living thing?" The construction of the magic circle requires the creation of a scene, so there are many characters in it.
An Zhengzheng was silent for a moment: "All of them, leave not a single one alive."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jin suddenly looked up and saw that this junior sister did not seem as crazy as Senior Sister Wen Yu. Why was she so insane?
He asked incredulously, "Were they all killed? Why?"
Within the mind magic circle, being able to kill one main target is already considered good; killing them all is even more unnecessary.
An Zhengzheng didn't quite remember either. She thought for a moment and said gently, "At the time, I was so angry that all I could think about was killing, killing, killing."
Slay all the demons who favor sons over daughters and oppress women!
Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Pei Jin hesitated for a moment and advised her, "For some reason, you seem a bit crazy. You've only been here a few days, but you're already starting to resemble Senior Sister... Perhaps you should stop cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness."
His mind was filled with killing intent, that was hatred. How could he possibly succeed in cultivating immortality? If he were to make a mistake, he would become an evil cultivator and fall into the demonic path.
An Zhengzheng shook her head: "I have my own principles, and I know whether I'm crazy or not."
From the moment she uttered those words in the ancestral hall, it was destined that she would be regarded as a madwoman by everyone in the world.
It's just a matter of time.
As for her obsession, without obsession, how could she be who she is today?
“…We still need to be cautious,” Pei Jin said.
An Zhengzheng countered, "Senior brother, have you ever heard the saying, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart'?"
"Isn't this Buddhist practice?"
“I am a Buddhist practitioner, but I am not just a Buddhist practitioner.” An Zhengzheng said, “Everyone outside says that we cultivate the Path of No Emotion, and that it is best to sever emotions and love, but I am not like that.”
She would speak out against the injustices of the world. If she were to sever all ties and become heartless, how could she possibly understand the hardships faced by women everywhere?
An Zhengzheng chatted with Senior Brother Pei Jin for a while and learned from him that inner disciples do not have the opportunity to cultivate together in public.
In other words, outer disciples have general classes where a group of them practice with senior brothers and sisters at the Golden Core stage. Inner disciples, on the other hand, have a list provided by their master every year, and if they don't understand something, they can ask questions; their learning is mainly self-taught.
This kind of freedom is quite suitable for An Zhengzheng; otherwise, given her diligence, she would probably have to follow in the footsteps of others.
"Then it seems we can't go to Ghost City." An Zhengzheng was still very interested in the Ghost City trial.
Peijin asked her, "I heard your team is going on an outing?"
"I heard?" How could you hear about that?
"...Do you think everyone isn't curious about who will be the champion of the new disciple trials? You didn't even try to hide it from people in the arena."
Well, it seems some onlookers in the forum were being nosy.
An Zhengzheng said, "Yes, the girls want to go out for a walk. I want to protect them and take the opportunity to explore Ghost Ancient City."
"Exploration is a good thing. It's fine if you, as an inner disciple, have more freedom. But your sisters should be outer disciples, right? Outer disciples have seven days of free time at the end of the month."
An Zhengzheng decided to go with them at the end of the month.
However, she did not forget her main purpose and asked her senior brother Pei Jin, "I wonder if I, as the top scholar and the champion of the new disciple trial, could meet the sect leader?"
Why would you want to see him?
"I've heard that the last female disciple to ascend to the rank of High God was a disciple of True Person Qingxu of the Medicine Sect? Isn't the current sect leader True Person Qingxu?"
Pei Jin also realized that her junior sister was single-mindedly focused on becoming an immortal.
He said, “You can talk to our master. He is the head of a sect and has received his respect... But you know he’s socially awkward, so don’t go to his door to confront him.”
Thinking about it, An Zhengzheng decided to send a message to her master.
Pei-Jin got up to say goodbye.
"How about I compensate my senior brother with something?" An Zhengzheng still felt apologetic.
Pei Jin suddenly smiled: "In the future, when you cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, you will also need to master the Mind Magic Array. I didn't know before that the Mind Magic Array could be broken in this way... it can be directly destroyed. You have already helped me a lot and enlightened me."
"When I emerge from this seclusion, my cultivation will surely have increased. Junior sister, please don't stand on ceremony."
After saying that, Pei Jin took his flute and left. A faint flute melody emanated from it, and he quickly leaped up.
Senior Brother Pei Jin's true passion is actually the flute; he's a music enthusiast!
After seeing him off, An Zhengzheng secretly decided to bring back some good things from Ghost City to make amends.
Although her senior brother Peijin said no, she couldn't really remain silent.
The jade slip quickly received a reply.
"You want to see the sect leader?"
Do you really have to go?
"Can't you just not go?"
At this moment, Master Wushang was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.
The old man hid in a corner of the cave, wiping sweat from his tattered sleeves as he stared intently at the jade slip.
Family, who knows? He was in the middle of a seclusion when a top-scoring student he'd never met suddenly messaged him.
He needs to take her to see the sect leader!
This is really driving socially anxious people crazy!
If he were an ordinary disciple, it wouldn't be a problem, but he was the first top scholar recruited by the Siyue Sect.
The sect leader has been giving him a long lecture, telling him to take good care of this promising young talent.
How should I bring it?
His former master didn't teach him either.
