After his careful analysis, and serious study of ancestral-grand uncle's actions, Zi Mo finally came to a conclusion. Could it be that he felt that he had not done enough, and Elder Jiang You's current reputation, had yet to reach the standard he expected? Of course, with Grand Uncle-Master's title as the number one person in the Immortal Cultivation World, Grand Uncle-Master's current achievements were indeed beneath his notice.
The more Zi Mo thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He silently decided that in the future, he had to grab hold of all opportunities, and even if he did not have any, he had to create opportunities to increase the influence of Elder Jiangyou.
Hence, Zhu Yao, who had just recovered from her injuries and was ruthlessly taught a lesson by her own master, when she returned to her own cave residence, she was thrown into a daze by the large amount of sect affairs that Wang Xuzhi brought over.
F * ck, what happened to being a leisurely elder?
How many spiritual plants had died in the Medicine Peak? How many medicinal herbs had been used in the Elixir Peak? How many talisman papers had been wasted in the Talisman Peak? Even how many cubs had been born in the Taming Beast Peak? Why did she have to care about this situation? She didn't know how to deliver a baby!
"Big sis Zhu Yao?" Wang Xuzhi looked a little worriedly at Zhu Yao who was already on the verge of collapse. "Are you alright?"
"Hehe, do I look fine to you?" Zhu Yao replied with a bitter smile. This won't do. She had to look for Zi Mo and have a chat. She still had the heavy responsibility of saving the world on her shoulders.
"I heard you were injured two days ago." Wang Xuzhi was a little hesitant and looked at her guiltily. "I'm sorry. I only found out today that you went to such a dangerous place."
Zhu Yao turned her head, and rolled her eyes at him. "So what if you knew about it in advance?" The rescue operation was something decided by the Nascent Soul-stage upper echelons. As an Azoth-stage practitioner, he naturally wouldn't know about it.
"If I knew, I naturally wouldn't have let big sis Zhu Yao take this risk." Wang Xuzhi was a little agitated. Yucang City was the city of heretic practitioners, so how could he be at ease to let her go?
"Little wimp." Zhu Yao pressed his head down. "This is an adult's matter. You should just focus on cultivating. What are you worrying about?"
"Big sis Zhu Yao!" Wang Xuzhi exploded, and angrily pulled down her hand. "I'm not a child anymore. Don't treat me like one."
"Yes, yes, yes. You're an adult now." Zhu Yao half-heartedly replied. Staring at the various account books in front of her, she suddenly had an idea. They were all piled up. "Come, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."
"…" Wang Xuzhi was startled for a moment. Letting out a deep sigh, he said. Don't tell me you're going to push all this on me from the start. "
"How can you say it's a push? This is to train you. " In any case, she wouldn't admit it no matter what. She patted his chest and said, "A man must be responsible. Go, go. The chance to prove yourself is here. You can do it!"
"You …" Wang Xuzhi's face was full of confusion. After a long while, she sighed deeply and accepted the small mountain of account books. He put it into his storage pouch. "You'll only acknowledge my abilities when you bully me."
How could that be? Whether she bullied him or not, she didn't think that he had any ability. He's still a kid! Pat his head!
This time, Wang Xuzhi did not resist and allowed her claws to be arrogant on her head. She looked at her familiar yet strange face and clenched her hands. As though he had decided on something. "Big sis Zhu Yao. I've thought about what you told me the other day. "
"Ah?" What words?
He pulled down Zhu Yao's troublesome hands. Yet, he did not let go, and tightly held onto her palm. The temperature of his palm was a little scorching. Zhu Yao awkwardly twitched, but did not move.
"A man cannot stand without his words, so I've decided to keep my promise."
"Eh?" Just what was he trying to say?
"I've decided." Wang Xuzhi's hands suddenly tightened, to the point where Zhu Yao felt a little pain. "No matter how you turn into, I will take you as my wife and take care of you for the rest of your life."
Zhu Yao did not sit stably, and almost fell off the chair. "What?"
The hell. She was just joking that day. He couldn't possibly have treated it seriously and seriously considered it, right?
"I know, with your current appearance, others will definitely have many misunderstandings towards us." Wang Xuzhi still explained with a stern look. "But, no matter what others say, just ignore them."
"…" Zhu Yao's face darkened when she heard this. He was actually even considering such worldly views. Just what was this little wimp thinking in his head during the few days she was not around?
She could not help but reach out her hand to touch his forehead. "You don't have a fever?" Then why was he speaking nonsense?
"Big sis Zhu Yao, I'm serious!" Wang Xuzhi grew anxious, as he stared straight into her eyes. That expression of his was as serious as it could get.
Zhu Yao felt her head aching. Having a little wimp who was overly serious about everything, was truly terrifying.
With lightning speed, she forcefully flicked her finger on his fair forehead. In order to achieve the desired effect, she had even infused her spiritual energy. Little wimp Wang instantly broke through, releasing her hand, and held onto his forehead instead. It was so painful that tears were about to fall out.
Zhu Yao glanced at him with disdain. "I was just joking that day, teasing you. Why are you treating it seriously? If you tease this old lady again, be careful that I don't spank your buttocks. "
"Big sis Zhu Yao!" Wang Xuzhi held onto his forehead, and glanced at her with teary eyes. "Could it be that you think the words I said to you, were merely the jokes of a child?"
"Or else?" Zhu Yao shrugged.
Wang Xuzhi's face instantly flushed red. Widening his eyes, he ruthlessly glared at her a few times, as though he was suppressing his own anger with all his might. A moment later, he suddenly stood up, and coldly snorted at her. Without even bidding farewell, he angrily left.
Yo, he's rebelling now?
— — — —
The moment Wang Xuzhi left, he did not come to see her for a whole six to seven days. This little wimp's temper sure is big. Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, and felt that he had already entered the rebellious phase, and it was precisely the period where he especially liked to go against his parents. She silently pondered, should she change his education method?
Just as she was pondering, the cry of a phoenix resounded. Sovereign Feng Yi suddenly descended from the mountain peak, and riding on that phoenix, she stopped in her courtyard.
Why did this high mountain flower come to her place? She couldn't be planning to settle the score, right? Zhu Yao faintly had a bad premonition.
"Greetings to Sovereign Feng Yi." Zhu Yao stepped forward and bowed.
"No need to be so courteous." Feng Yi nodded. After sizing him up for a moment, she hesitantly spoke up. "Your injuries …"
Zhu Yao smiled. "They're already completely healed." When her master made a move, he alone was equivalent to two.
"That's good then." Feng Yi seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and her expression eased up a little as well. As though she had never spoken to someone like this before, she seemed a little restrained.
"Sovereign, if you don't mind, do you want to take a seat in the courtyard?" Zhu Yao suggested.
Feng Yi nodded, and followed him to the stone chair in the courtyard to sit down. Only then did she speak up hesitantly. "Is it possible for me to check on your injuries?" After all, he was injured because of her. Without seeing it for herself, she was still worried.
Zhu Yao generously reached out her paw. Take a look then, take a look then. In any case, she had to grab onto every single person who came to see her. Sect Master did it, Zi Dan did it, and even little wimp did it as well. It made her feel like reaching out her paw whenever she saw someone, and the only thing she lacked was a 'woof'.
Feng Yi looked for a moment, and her expression eased up a little. Retracting her hand, she then turned around and pulled out a large pile of items, placing them in front of her.
There were medicinal pellets, spiritual herbs, and even a few unknown mystic tools. They were piled up on the entire table, and every single one of them was faintly emitting out spiritual energy. With a single glance, she could tell that they were incredible treasures.
What was she trying to do? To flaunt her wealth?
"The reason why I came here this time is to thank you." Feng Yi glanced at her, as though it was her first time doing something like this, her expression was a little uncomfortable. "These are my thank-you gifts."
Zhu Yao was startled. She never expected that this Feng Yi would be such a good person. Looking at the table full of sparkling treasures, she really wanted to keep all of them into her pouch. However, she did not know when she would die. If these things were to follow her, it would be a complete waste.
"Nevermind, there's no need for that." Zhu Yao pressed down on her restless paw. "I didn't save you for these anyway. It's best if you take them back. "
Feng Yi blanked for a moment, and was a little anxious. "If you don't fancy these, feel free to tell me what you need. I will definitely find them for you."
"There's really no need." When she said that, Zhu Yao began to feel a little embarrassed. "Didn't you give me the Water Spirit? What else is more precious than it? "
Feng Yi pondered for a moment. That was true! She did not insist any further, and kept all of the items. Sighing, she then revealed a smile. "You're really a strange person."
"Aren't you just as strange?" Seeing that her expression had warmed up quite a bit, Zhu Yao's courage instantly grew. "To tell you the truth, I hated you quite a bit in the past."
Feng Yi looked at her with widened eyes, and her expression was a little disappointed.
Zhu Yao continued. "In the past, you always put on a prideful look that no one should get close to, as though everyone should be fawning over you. I finally barged into that secret room to save you with much difficulty, but I never expected that I would be despised by you. " When she recalled the incident in the passageway, she could not help but retort. Seeing her lowering her head in guilt, she continued. "But after interacting with you for a long time, I realized that you're not that bad after all. You have a rather good heart." At the very least, she understood gratitude. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given her the Water Spirit, right?
Only then did Feng Yi's expression turn a little better. The hand she placed on her thigh, tugged on her skirt a little reservedly, as though she was a little nervous. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke up. "Then … what do you think of me … right now?"
"Pretty good." Zhu Yao replied with a huge smile. "Continue to maintain it. Perhaps, we might even become …" Best friends.
Before she could even finish, a Sword Mountain disciple suddenly flew down, cupped his fist, and bowed towards the two of them.
"Grand-martial aunt, Elder Jiang, the Sect Master has instructed this disciple to inform the two of you to head to the Great Hall for a discussion."
"Discussion?" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. That old man couldn't possibly be giving her a bunch of things again, right? "What is it?"
The disciple replied. "Senior-martial uncle Xiao Yi has returned. Currently, he's in the Great Hall."
Zhu Yao glanced at Feng Yi, and nodded. Only then did they head towards the direction of the Great Hall of the Main Mountain.
