"this……?"
Shi Qinxin and Long Aotian were completely confused, so what exactly was going on?
Zhou Han looked at Tian Ning with a scrutinizing gaze: "Then you should ask your junior sister why the Phoenix Lord of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts is by her side?"
He hadn't considered the possibility of a contract. Those were the Four Divine Beasts of antiquity, beings far more powerful than divine beasts. Even his Fire Phoenix was merely one of the Phoenix Lord's retinues.
Tianning felt that the two of them were equally bad: "Fellow Daoist Zhou Han, you should explain yourself clearly before asking others questions."
But that's not the case at all. Zhou Han never made a contract with Xuan Ju. He did want to, but it was simply impossible. Making a contract with the four ancient divine beasts was just wishful thinking. If Xuan Ju were willing to help him kill Zhou Mengya, he would be laughing in his sleep.
"It was by sheer chance that we found Senior Xuanju by the roadside. He had been starving for months," Zhou Han said, his mouth watering. "Senior Xuanju thought the food at the Beast Taming Sect was delicious, so he decided to stay there temporarily..."
Yes, it's simply because the Beast Taming Sect has better food.
Tianning: "..."
This Xuanwu is quite the foodie!
"And what about you?" Zhou Han insisted on asking. He didn't understand why the Phoenix Lord would follow a little girl in the Qi Refining stage.
Tianning blurted out, "Because Qiuqiu likes to make a nest on my head, it's very cozy and feels like home!"
Zhou Han: "..."
Could you be any more outrageous?
As if to prove her words, the red-haired woman, having finally vented her anger, transformed back into a little sparrow and flew back onto Tianning's head.
Zhou Han's expression was complicated: "It seems that with the Phoenix Lord protecting your life, you don't need to worry about that guy attacking you."
Xuan Ju, who had been beaten up, wasn't angry at all. He got up from the ground as if nothing had happened and said happily, "I haven't seen the scruffy bird in a long time, so I'm a little excited!"
"The three of you can stay here with me. It will take several months to repair your Golden Core, and the herbs I have here will also be beneficial to you in restoring your cultivation."
While he was giving these instructions to Qin Xin and Long Aotian, his gaze remained fixed on Tian Ning the entire time.
The three had no objections, since they weren't in a hurry to return to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect anyway. However, Xiao Roushu and Long Kangnian had to go back, as the Six Sects Competition was imminent, and as new disciples, they needed to return to receive instruction from the elders.
Thinking of Long Kangnian, Xiao Roushu, and Zhizi, Long Aotian said, "I'll go and make arrangements for the other two junior brothers and sisters first, and have them return to the sect. There's also someone from my Long family."
“You don’t need to worry about it,” Zhou Han said, always efficient. “I will arrange for someone to send them back to the Myriad Swords Sect. As for the Long family members, they can stay at the Beast Taming Sect to assist with the follow-up investigation.”
After expressing their gratitude, the three of them settled down at the Beast Taming Sect.
Shi Qinxin needs to restore her Golden Core, and Long Aotian needs to restore his cultivation, leaving Tian Ning with nothing to do.
Fortunately, she's always been someone who can find joy in simple things and be happy every day. She spends her time reading storybooks and going out to play with cats and dogs; the Beast Taming Sect has plenty of cats and dogs, of course. She then checks on her senior brothers and sisters; the Xuanwu clan is skilled in medicine, and they've recovered remarkably well, so there's nothing to worry about.
Tianning feels that every day is fulfilling, which is great!
But this is just her feeling... that someone has disliked her for a long time.
Zhou Han couldn't believe that there could be such an unambitious sword cultivator in the world.
Every day she either stays locked in her room reading stories or goes out to play with spirit beasts. When she's really bored, she doesn't even practice swordsmanship. She just takes a broken brush and draws all day... She's not a talisman cultivator!
Speaking of this, he also saw Tianning handling medicinal plants, but he never saw her touch a sword!
