Sunset Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.
At dawn, the mountains were shrouded in mist. Outside the Taoist temple, there was a small wooden house. A golden horn poked its head out, raised its head and roared to the sky. The sound of metal clashing with stone echoed between heaven and earth.
Zi Yue sat up abruptly. Looking at the familiar room before her, she was both surprised and delighted. "I'm still alive?"
Leaving the room, Ziyue went to the backyard. She saw Caixia holding a broom and Jinyan preparing to fetch water. She immediately smiled and said, "Junior Brother, Junior Sister."
"Junior Sister!"
Caixia and Jinyan were overjoyed. They ran to Ziyue's side, their excitement evident on their faces.
Seeing Jin Yan rubbing his eyes, Zi Yue patted his shoulder and asked, "Junior Brother, why are you crying?"
Jin Yan thought that Zi Yue would be like the other senior brothers who left Longhu Temple and would never come back. He grinned and said, "I'm so happy to see my senior sister back!"
Caixia winked at Ziyue, her eyes full of anticipation, and said in a clear voice, "Junior Sister, can you tell us about your experiences during this time?"
"OK!"
Zi Yue smiled gently.
"Ziyue, is that you back?"
At this time of year, the little girl would have been sleeping in bed. Hearing Ziyue's voice, she would run barefoot into the yard with her long hair flowing freely, and then hug Ziyue tightly.
Why didn't you tell me when you left?
"I'm afraid of disturbing your rest."
"No, I have Golden Horn wake me up every day now. You can ask Caixia if you don't believe me."
Caixia nodded and smiled, "That's true, but the Great Protector always says he understands and tells me to sleep a little longer, and then it's noon in the blink of an eye."
"Hahaha."
Zi Yue burst out laughing.
The little dumpling didn't seem to care. She winked playfully, "Ziyue, did you bring me anything delicious?"
Zi Yue shook her head and said in a deep voice, "I barely survived this ordeal, and I don't even know how I got back."
"Could it be the boss?"
The little dumpling couldn't help but think of Qin Luo.
Zi Yue shook her head and said softly, "It must have been a very beautiful purple-haired fairy who helped me."
"The Purple-Haired Fairy?"
The little dumpling scratched its head in confusion.
Jin Yan frowned, looking somewhat worried, and asked, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
Zi Yue wore a bright smile. She felt refreshed and full of inexhaustible energy.
The little dumpling said with a serious face, "Listen up, all of you. From now on, no one is allowed to leave Longhu Temple without my permission. If anything happens to you outside, I won't be able to explain it to the boss!"
"Yes, Great Protector!"
Ziyue and the others nodded with smiles.
Caixia's clear eyes shone as she respectfully said, "Senior Sister, I want to hear you tell a story."
Zi Yue nodded and smiled. She recounted her experiences along the way. When they heard the story of what happened in Old Huai City, Jin Yan and the others looked tense and their hands were sweating.
The little dumpling said angrily, "That middle-aged Taoist priest is a real scoundrel. He actually knocked you unconscious and left you in the most dangerous place. If I run into him, he'll be in big trouble."
Zi Yue said softly, "I feel that fellow Daoist was quite nice; it was probably an accident."
Caixia's pretty face slightly furrowed. "Senior sister, the evil god you saw should be one of the extraterrestrial demons. Even the weakest extraterrestrial demon can rival a true immortal, and some can even rival an immortal king. The strongest extraterrestrial demon I've ever seen can swallow an entire starry sky in one gulp. Even the Azure Emperor is wary of it."
The little dumpling proudly declared, "That's because He hasn't met me yet, otherwise I'd teach him a lesson."
“My strength is far inferior to that of the Four-Eyed Evil God. I don’t know who sent me back. If the Four-Eyed Evil God is still alive, it will surely cause great suffering to the people of Zhongzhou.”
"Perhaps Senior Wu knows."
Ziyue arrived outside the Taoist temple and bowed, saying, "Senior Wu, do you know how I got back?"
A golden figure emerged from the door god portrait. Wu Xuantian clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to Little Fairy, it was Fairy Flower Shadow who brought you back last night. She also asked me to tell you that the Four-Eyed Evil God has been killed. She was the one who brought you back. She asked me to apologize to you."
"So it's Sister Huaying."
Zi Yue murmured, "No wonder the beautiful figure I saw before I lost consciousness looked so familiar."
The little dumpling put her hands on her hips and said, "Oh, it was her. I could take on three hundred cultivators like her, but I still want to thank her for bringing our Purple Moon back."
Upon hearing that the Four-Eyed Evil God had been eliminated, Zi Yue beamed with joy and didn't think too much about it.
A gentle breeze ruffled Zi Yue's long hair. She raised her hand, feeling the softness wrapped around her fingers. Zi Yue was both happy and guilty. She was glad that Little Whirlwind was still alive, but guilty that she hadn't protected Little Whirlwind.
Zi Yue's gaze grew increasingly resolute. She silently vowed in her heart to cultivate diligently and then protect everyone.
When she returned to the Taoist temple, Ziyue saw the little black cat perched on the courtyard wall. "Little Blackie, did you miss me?"
Meow~
The little black cat lazily wagged its tail.
Zi Yue noticed the bricks near the courtyard wall and instantly thought of the bricks the middle-aged Taoist priest had used. Recalling what the middle-aged Taoist priest had said, she suddenly realized, "No wonder he knows about the Dragon Tiger Temple and my senior brother. Why doesn't he dare to tell me his true identity? Could it be that he was expelled by his master?"
Only two senior brothers from Longhu Temple were expelled. Gu Changsheng was at the Fire God Temple in Yuzhou City. The middle-aged Taoist priest who appeared in Laohuai City should be Liang Yuan.
...
Outside Laohuai City.
The middle-aged Taoist priest opened his eyes, touched his head, and said with a dark face, "I never thought that even I, a Taoist priest, would suffer retribution."
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
