"Move it quickly, be quick."
"I'll come, I'll give you a hand."
When Cen Ji returned to the peach forest, the whole forest was brightly lit and noisy.
After today's competition, the disciples who passed the selection will be divided into different peaks, so the disciples have to move to the peaks overnight so that they can catch up with the early morning training tomorrow.
"Cen Ji, you're back!" Wu Bai saw Cen Ji from afar and ran towards him.
"Just now, Senior Sister Shangguan has ordered people to move all your things to Mengyuan Peak."
Wu Bai smiled, revealing his white teeth. "I've been assigned to Cexuan Peak, right next to Mengyuan Peak. I'll come visit you when I have time!"
He originally thought that he would be assigned to Jianfeng, and Senior Sister Ye even said that she would take him to practice together.
But there is nothing wrong with going to Ce Xuanfeng. He is very stupid, and learning attack spells will probably only help him to step on others' feet.
Although Ce Xuanfeng didn't have much reputation within the sect, its elder, Si Huai, was known for his responsibility. As long as he worked hard and was willing to learn, he would surely be able to master many advanced formations.
"See you later." Cen Ji smiled calmly and nodded, then walked towards the inner door.
The wind in the peach forest was still the same as when he came here, carrying the fishy smell of soil. Four years have passed, and this place has not changed at all.
Cen Ji looked at the many disciples hurrying by. Some were happy and some were worried. The happy ones were those who had passed the selection and were busy moving, while the worried ones were those who had failed.
Most of these outer disciples have poor qualifications. Some of them have lived here year after year, and have never entered the inner sect until their hair has turned white.
Their entire lives were wasted on a life of cultivation with no clear path forward.
If he had not met Ghost Blade, he might have stayed in the outer sect for the rest of his life like these disciples, living in the ridiculous hopes he had fabricated for himself.
Cen Ji's gaze unconsciously fell on the Qiankun bag hanging around his waist.
Not necessarily. He also met a little girl who might make his life less boring.
"Aji."
Mu Siyue stood not far away and looked at Cen Ji with a smile. She had been waiting for him here for a long time.
She thought Cen Ji was busy with chores like moving things, so she waited here for him to finish.
"Sister, why are you here?" Cen Ji responded loudly and strode towards Mu Siyue, who was dressed in white.
Mu Siyue hasn't seen Cen Ji for a month. She hasn't come to see him since he came back.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Since you didn't come to look for me, I came to see you."
"It was Aji's fault for being negligent. He has been very busy these two days." Cen Ji said with a frown.
Mu Siyue pulled Cen Ji to a deserted place, then chuckled and said, "You just came back and I was about to leave. What a coincidence."
"Where are you going, sister?" Cen Ji asked doubtfully.
"We're going to Fuzhou to tame monsters. There's been some unrest there lately, so it's good for us to go down the mountain and gain experience. Yan Ying will be going too. Why... didn't she tell you about it?"
"I see that you two are walking very close now. She should tell you if she is leaving, right?" Mu Siyue's eyes dimmed and her tone was light.
She heard that Cen Ji and Yan Ying were on good terms now, and she didn't know what methods Yan Ying had used to coax Cen Ji into changing his mind about her.
Cen Ji's eyes were ambiguous and he just nodded without saying anything. He hadn't seen Yan Ying today.
Since his sister was leaving the sect, he would have to postpone his plan of taking her back to the Demon Realm.
"Sister, please be careful when you are outside." Cen Ji looked at Mu Siyue with concern.
He was just an ordinary disciple in Guiyun Sect, so it was impossible for him to go down the mountain with his sister. He could only follow her secretly.
Since his sister was going down the mountain, he had to ensure her safety.
"Well, don't worry, Master will be safe with me." Mu Siyue said softly with a smile.
"By the way, Aji, I still don't know what happened between you and Yan Ying..." Mu Siyue said, hiding her hands under her sleeves calmly.
"I remember that you hated her deeply before, why did you suddenly..."
A glimmer flashed across Cen Ji's dark eyes. He couldn't tell his sister about the little ghost. Telling such a thing would only be detrimental to the little ghost.
"It's nothing. She just apologized to me, and I agreed to make peace with her." The corners of Cen Ji's eyes curved, but the curve of his mouth was not obvious.
It's really funny to think about the day when that little devil rushed into his room to apologize to him, looking ready to die.
"Just that?" Mu Siyue asked with a frown.
How could it be so simple? What Yan Ying had done to Cen Ji could never be forgiven with just an apology.
"Aji, don't lie to me. Weren't you the one who said you would kill her with your own hands? I'm still scared when I think about what she did to you. You..." Mu Siyue's voice was a little choked.
"It's also my sister's fault that she made you suffer so much. You're right, there will be no good outcome if you go against her, but Ah Ji, you can't tolerate her bullying anymore."
Mu Siyue raised her hand to wipe her tears, and raised her sleeves to hide the calculation in her eyes.
Cen Ji didn't expect his sister to burst into tears so suddenly. He quickly reached out and supported Mu Siyue's arm. "Sister, it's not what you think."
"Aji, I don't mean anything else. I just don't want you to suffer anymore. You can forget what Yan Ying did to you before, but I can't..." Mu Siyue said weakly, gently supporting Cen Ji's arm.
"Sister, it was indeed Yan Ying's fault before. I have never forgotten what she did to me. I was afraid that she would harm you, so I said I would kill her. It wasn't a lie. A vicious person like her really deserves to die."
"But, she is now..." Yan Ying is now dead, and there is a kind little ghost in Yan Ying's body. "Now she has changed a lot, taking care of me in every way, and never bullies me again."
"Don't worry, sister. Yan Ying will never be the same again. She has been reborn."
Mu Siyue listened to Cen Ji's words and snorted in her heart. She didn't believe that such a vicious person would change.
Although the purpose of Yan Ying's actions is still unclear, it is definitely not well-intentioned.
Since Cen Ji couldn't understand, she, as her elder sister, had to understand that this time when she went down the mountain, she would not give Yan Ying another chance to come back.
People like her will only hurt others if they live.
"Okay, sister got it. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you. Go and get busy." Mu Siyue smiled with red eyes and patted Cen Ji's arm.
Cen Ji nodded and said goodbye to Mu Siyue.
I don’t know how much my sister can believe what he said.
Cen Ji felt it was not too late and wanted to go find Yan Ying, but unexpectedly met Wu Bai on the road.
"My aunt is treating us to a meal tonight. Did she invite you as well?" Wu Bai held Cen Ji's arm tightly and familiarly.
"Let's go, together."
Cen Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't know about the treat.
This kid actually called Wu Bai to Yuan Kunfeng behind his back?
