"No need, Senior Brother, I can carry it. I had a little disagreement with my family, can I just stay here? I've packed all my things," Tianning asked.
"Of course!" Fu Hongming knew some of his junior sister's background from the sect leader and knew that she was also a pitiful person: "Junior sister, I will take you to your place and introduce you to Master and the others."
"Well... their situations aren't very good, so you need to be mentally prepared."
Tianning nodded obediently.
It's better to stay here than at the Wenren family's place, where people come to cause trouble every few days.
Fu Hongming led her to a large courtyard, which was clearly cleaned in advance. The house was fully furnished, and there was a small bamboo grove by the west gate of the courtyard. There was also a large open space in front where she could do whatever she wanted. It was even larger than the courtyard that Wenrenren had given her.
"The preparations were a bit rushed. If you need anything, just let me know."
Tianning liked the eldest brother very much because of his gentle, motherly demeanor.
Tianning put down her things and followed Fu Hongming to meet the person.
They first arrived at their master's residence. Fu Hongming pushed open the door and saw a beautiful woman lying on an ice bed, her face pale, as if she were dead.
Fu Hongming and He Jing went up to check his breathing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, jumping for joy: "That's great, Junior Sister! Our Master is still alive today!"
Tianning: "..."
Fu Hongming snapped out of his joy and explained to her.
“Our master has a hard life. Five years ago, that damned fifth junior sister betrayed the sect and fell into demonic cultivation. Our master was harmed by her and can only lie here unconscious. We don’t know when he will wake up…”
"The seniors of the Dan Ding Sect have also come to see it, but they are helpless."
Fu Hongming, overcome with emotion, took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears: "They said Master might not be able to hold on and might pass away while in a coma. I have to come every day to check on Master's breathing, to see if he's still alive... Waaah, I'm suffering terribly every day, afraid that Master will be gone... Then our Sword Protection Mountain will have to disband..."
Tianning: "..."
So if this person is gone, their Sword Guardian Mountain will disband on the spot?
What incredibly unstable sect has she joined?!
After Fu Hongming finished crying, he continued to take Tianning to their next place of residence.
The man Tianning saw upon entering was writing something with a pen. His hands were trembling so much that he could barely hold the pen. As Tianning approached, he saw that the man's open eyes only showed the whites of his eyes, and the paper was just covered in scribbled ink.
"Second Junior Brother! Second Junior Brother!" Fu Hongming called out to him, "This is our new junior sister, Tianning."
"Junior Sister, this is your second senior brother, Jiang Xi."
Upon hearing Fu Hongming's words, Jiang Xi immediately turned around and, facing the air in the opposite direction from Tian Ning, greeted him warmly: "Hello, Junior Sister!"
"Wrong! Wrong!" Fu Hongming corrected him: "Junior Sister is right here!"
Tianning: "..."
Jiang Xi didn't mind, holding up the paper she had just drawn, and grinning with her big white teeth: "Junior Sister, this is a mid-level explosive talisman that Second Senior Brother just finished drawing. It's for you!"
Tian Ning silently accepted it.
"Junior Sister, don't be so polite with your Second Senior Brother! I'm a talisman genius, I can draw any talisman you want!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Hongming couldn't stop his tears. He pulled out his handkerchief again: "Junior Sister, your Second Senior Brother has such a hard life! He encountered a vicious and wicked female sword cultivator who blinded him and severed his tendons, all to prove that damned Path of Ruthlessness! Waaah... My poor Second Senior Brother has been so devastated that his mind is no longer working properly..."
As if to prove his words, Jiang Xi said with a grin, "Senior Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine. If you don't believe me, I'll draw another talisman for you!"
Fu Hongming cried even harder.
Tianning: "..."
She finally understood what Elder Xiao meant. Was the Sword Protection Mountain really in such a terrible state?
Once Fu Hongming stopped crying, they moved on to the next person.
Before even entering, I could see thick smoke billowing from the chimney. Inside, the woman looked like an evil witch from a fairy tale, brewing a pot of eerie green liquid, her shrill voice shouting, "You bitches, all of you, die! Die!"
If it weren't for the woman's disciple's clothes and striking face, Tian Ning would have really thought she had wandered onto the wrong set.
"Third Junior Sister! Third Junior Sister! Stop for a moment, this is our new junior sister Tianning." Fu Hongming seemed to be used to it.
"Junior Sister, this is your third senior sister, Shi Qinxin."
"Oh my, a new junior sister?" Shi Qinxin covered her mouth and carefully examined Tian Ning, then smiled strangely: "Junior sister doesn't seem to be the same kind of slut as Fifth Junior Sister!"
She handed Tianning a bottle of unidentified green liquid, saying, "Here, this is a special poison made by my third senior sister. Use this to kill any man who dares to deceive you! Don't let the bitches around him get away with it either!"
Tianning: "..."
Is this really not some kind of mental hospital?
