Shushu saw Yaoguang Cauldron again after she returned to the sect and saw off a bunch of kids who had come to see her after hearing she was back.
Back then, Liu Yu brought in the Yao Guang Cauldron without any hesitation.
As soon as I came in, I casually tossed it onto the table, and it lay down on the table, making the whole cauldron look dull and lifeless.
This was the first time Shushu had ever seen the Yaoguang Cauldron in such a state. As someone who had just made friends with her and was in the best of friendship with her, Shushu secretly glanced at her master.
After realizing that her master was asking Lu Li about his trip and hadn't noticed them, she quickly darted to the table to comfort the Yao Guang Ding, completely forgetting its eloquence.
Thus, the unsuspecting Shushu was forced to listen to Yaoguangding's complaints for quite some time, leaving Shushu groaning in pain.
"Go ahead and leave," Yao Guangding said, "you're in the middle of a lively conversation and won't let her go."
If we don't leave, Yao Guangding is complaining about her master, but this guy isn't just complaining; he's the kind of person who complains and then gets Shushu to respond.
Whenever faced with questions from the Yaoguang Cauldron, such as: Isn't Liu Yu too bad? Isn't this going too far?
Thinking of the master behind him who, though seemingly engaged in conversation, was actually quite perceptive, Shushu dared not respond at all, let alone nod as Yaoguangding wished.
She felt that if she dared to nod her head, her master might just kick her out the door as easily as she did.
She really didn't dare to answer that life-or-death question!
All I can say is that at this moment, Shushu truly wished time could turn back, then she definitely wouldn't have bothered to say anything, absolutely not.
There was nothing they could do; they couldn't respond to the shaking cauldron's cries, nor could they stop the cauldron from spewing millet and potatoes.
In the end, he could only pray desperately in his heart, asking every god and Buddha he could think of, before he was finally rescued by Xu Ruoyun, who had just finished her daily exercise.
Seeing Xu Ruoyun enter in the sunset, Shushu felt as if she were a savior, rescuing her from suffering. She couldn't wait to leap into Xu Ruoyun's arms.
Her impatient manner, in Xu Ruoyun's eyes, meant that her junior sister missed her very much, so she happily opened her arms and steadily caught Shushu's small body.
The two sisters rubbed and snuggled together for a while before Shushu, enduring Yaoguangding's expression as if he were looking at a heartbreaker, finally introduced them to each other.
After another round of warm greetings and inquiries, the master and disciple spent time together until the moon was high in the sky before they finally parted ways.
The next day, Shushu withdrew from her cultivation early in the morning. Remembering that she had returned to the sect, she quickly transformed into a humanoid baby doll.
After cleaning herself up and changing into new clothes, she looked longingly at Lu Li. They had agreed to see Ling Jun today.
Lu Li had been keeping an eye on Shushu's movements ever since she opened her eyes.
Especially after she turned into a baby, he was even more focused, afraid that her little body might lose its balance and fall or get hurt.
The reason I managed to resist picking her up immediately was because I wanted to see what she wanted to do.
Now, seeing the longing look on Shushu's face, he couldn't resist any longer. He took a few steps over and hugged the tiny, soft little one into his arms.
With that soft-hearted and affectionate look, even if Shushu just wanted to find Lingjun, or even if she wanted the moon, Lu Li would probably try to get it for her.
Therefore, with just a glance from Shushu, Lu Li surrendered and carried her towards the affairs hall to find Ling Jun.
The gate to Lingjun's secret realm was as bright as ever. Even as we approached, it was already dazzling, sparkling and shimmering, announcing its presence.
To be honest, the fact that the light only shone near the Hall of Affairs was a result of discussions between the sect and Lingjun, a compromise made by each side.
Otherwise, according to Lingjun's original idea, it was meant to illuminate the entire inner sect of Liuyue Sect, just like how it blinded Gu Borong back then.
Therefore, nowadays, whenever people approach the Hall of Affairs, they always add a touch of spiritual light to protect their eyes, otherwise they really can't look directly at that glittering golden gate.
Okay, we've digressed. Back to the present, Lu Li was carrying Shushu when Ling Jun spotted them the moment they stepped onto the Affairs Hall square.
Then, Ling Jun, who had just received a sum of spirit stones and sent a group of disciples into the secret realm, and who happened to have nothing new to hear, suddenly had his eyes light up.
Even from a distance, he greeted Shushu: "Hey~ Shushu, you're finally back from your adventure! Was it fun outside? Did you bring me any gifts?"
His tone was as nonchalant as ever, but it carried a hint of anticipation and joy, clearly showing that he was genuinely happy about Shushu's return.
Seeing Lingjun so carefree, she already knew his real age and no longer called him Uncle Lingjun, but directly called him Lingjun's sweet potato.
For a moment, I was speechless, unsure how to begin what to say next.
Little did she know that her silent expression was interpreted by Lingjun as Shushu being bullied outside.
Just as she was about to roll up her sleeves and ask who had bullied her, wanting to seek justice for Shushu, she suddenly seemed to sense something and looked at Lu Li in disbelief.
The words that were almost spoken were silently swallowed up.
The two men and the mouse stared at each other silently, as if half a century had passed.
After a long while, Lingjun seemed to have finally found his voice, and asked in a choked voice, "You...you guys found it?"
As for what was found, there's no need to explain; both parties understand what it refers to.
In response, Lu Li and Shushu both nodded silently, confirming Ling Jun's guess. Not only that, Lu Li also returned all of Ling Jun's belongings to him.
Looking at the several jade bottles and boxes floating in front of him, and feeling the aura emanating from them, Lingjun took them with trembling hands.
He opened a jade bottle and peeked inside. He instantly lost his composure and, without even speaking to Lu Li and Shushu, quickly fled back into the secret realm with the items.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave immediately, he might burst into tears in front of everyone the next moment. Those were his flesh and blood, flesh and blood that had been peeled off his body alive.
Thinking about those terrifying experiences that I still have nightmares about even in the middle of the night.
After hiding back in the Heart of the Secret Realm, Lingjun finally couldn't hold back and started to wail, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
As if sensing something, Shushu did not force Lingjun to come out. Instead, she quietly leaned against the gate of the secret realm, gently patting it, silently keeping him company.
