Chapter 46: Southern Barbarian Wild Girl

Southern Barbarian Wild Girl

"Ouch, my car!"

Above the nameless small mountain, a sweet voice sounded. A girl pushed open the car window and shouted with some pain, "The wheels are gone!"

She ordered the coachman to lower the flying car, frowned and shouted sweetly at Seeing Tianlu, "Is it because you didn't put away the car properly? Hanging in the middle of

She rode in a purple crystal flying carriage. The carriage body was dotted with stars; at a glance, one could tell it was extremely precious and sturdy. Seeing Tianlu stood blankly on the mountaintop, looking toward the dense forest in the distance—his green jade carriage had not activated its restrictions and, having been struck by the purple crystal flying carriage, was completely shattered. The fragments fell from the sky, all landing in the forest.

He was born with a likable appearance, and now, with his helpless and pitiful look, the young girl felt a bit of pity as well. She pursed her lips but still said, "Hey! Speak up! Do you think standing there playing dumb will let you get away with this?"

Although Ruan Ci had come out late, once she saw this, how could she not know what had happened? She felt quite indignant. She raised her eyebrows and was about to step forward, but was pulled back by He Tong in front of the door. He whispered, "Young Lady, the young master is under the Zixu Dongzhao Heaven. Whatever happens, the Zixu True Person will naturally be the one to decide..."

His implication was very clear. The sky was so vast; the green jade carriage was parked alone in the air. Seeing it from so far away, what was there that couldn't be bypassed? This group was clearly looking for trouble on purpose. This matter would likely be difficult to resolve amicably, and it was very likely aimed at Ruan Ci. It would be better to let Seeing Tianlu handle it. If Seeing Tianlu suffered some grievances now, it wouldn't matter; at most, he would be told a few strange things. If they really tried to extort him, he could just flee back to Zixu Dongzhao Heaven. Under Wang True Person's command, there were naturally Nascent Soul and Golden Core disciples; could they really be in the wrong? If Ruan Ci stepped forward, it would play right into the other party's hands, which would be counterproductive.

How could Ruan Ci not think of these things? But seeing Seeing Tianlu standing there with his thin shoulders trembling slightly, she knew he truly had no plan in his heart and could not handle this malicious provocation. Moreover, she knew more than He Tong. She waved her hand slightly, ignored He Tong's persuasion, walked forward, and smiled, "Interesting. Others say I come from the South Zhuzhou and haven't seen the world of the Central Continent. I truly haven't seen it. Everything in the great sects of the Central Continent is indeed better than in other places; even 'touching porcelain' (staging an accident) is more overbearing than in South Zhuzhou."

She was eloquent. When she was young, even Ruan Rong couldn't argue with her and lost every debate. This remark was also sharp. The young girl blushed, slapped the window, and shouted, "Hey! What do you mean! —What is your name? A mere outer sect disciple, and you dare to speak to me like this?"

Ruan Ci was annoyed that she was bullying Seeing Tianlu and smiled, "My surname is Ni, and my name is Ni Niangqing. You had better remember it well."

The customs of the Song Kingdom were fierce, and her background was somewhat special, so such street slang came easily to her. The young girl didn't know what it meant at first, but after muttering it a few times, she understood. She was so angry her voice trembled, "You—you—"

"It's Ni Niangqing!" Ruan Ci walked to Seeing Tianlu's side and feigned disdain, "With such a poor memory, how did you get into the sect? —Don't look at me like that. I'm not willing to have this name either. Do you think I'm happy to have gained a wayward daughter like you?"

Seeing Tianlu had been stunned by the young girl's words. His nature was simple, and he was especially bad at dealing with people. If others were slightly aggressive, he wouldn't know how to react. After Ruan Ci arrived, he was stunned in a different way. After Ruan Ci finished speaking, she gently bumped Seeing Tianlu's shoulder to comfort him, blinked at him, and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Seeing Tianlu only then slowly came back to his senses. He bit his lip, secretly bumped Ruan Ci's shoulder back, and whispered, "I'm fine, it's just that carriage... it was loaded with the food I was going to give you... and I borrowed it from Young Master Chun. Now I can't return it."

According to how the sect members addressed them, Young Master Chun should be under Wang True Person. Ruan Ci said, "It doesn't matter. You should fly back quickly. I'll handle things here."

She was telling Seeing Tianlu to go back and find someone, but Seeing Tianlu's mind was simple, and he didn't understand Ruan Ci's hint. He shook his head and said, "I can't leave. I want to protect you."

He pursed his lips, looked up at the purple crystal flying carriage, and his expression became serious, "This young lady is at the Foundation Establishment stage, which is fine for you, but there is a Golden Core expert inside the carriage."

Their conversation was not intentionally hidden from the young girl. For Ruan Ci, it was because she hadn't learned the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission technique yet, and Seeing Tianlu hadn't thought of it. The young girl heard their words clearly and couldn't help but look toward a corner inside the carriage, her face showing hidden shock. Ruan Ci smiled, "Oh, isn't it said that the Central Continent doesn't like the strong bullying the weak? Why not dare to send an Qi Condensation disciple? You've sent out a Foundation Establishment disciple, and you're still not at ease, needing to bring a Golden Core protector to deal with me, a newly entered Qi Condensation disciple? As expected of the vast Central Continent, it cannot tolerate us savages from South Zhuzhou?"

She used the Central Continent to speak at every turn, taking full advantage in the argument. The young girl was even more furious when she heard this and shouted, "You must be reasonable when you speak! Have I said anything to you? Your own carriage was parked in the air and crashed into my carriage. I want an explanation. The owner hasn't said a word, yet you're the one making a scene!"

Ruan Ci was waiting for this sentence and smiled, "Oh? So it has nothing to do with me? That's good. You go find him to argue. I'm going back."

She pushed Seeing Tianlu and said, "Fool, why don't you run back to Zixu Dongzhao Heaven quickly?"

Seeing Tianlu said "Oh" and really made a move to fly. Ruan Ci turned and walked toward the Grotto-Heaven. The young girl couldn't help but be anxious when she saw this and stomped her feet, "None of you are allowed to leave—"

She shouted into the carriage, "Old Can, why don't you stop them!"

Only a muffled grunt was heard from the carriage, and two long silk ribbons floated out, blocking their path. With a 'bang', the carriage door opened wide. A fat old man flew out from the purple crystal flying carriage. His face was incredibly white, without a single hair, and his flesh was piled up in layers, trembling in the air as he moved. Seeing Tianlu whispered to Ruan Ci, "This is the spiritual pet of True Person Yuanchen, Old Can. True Person Yuanchen is the son of True Person Ouyang of the Pot-Hidden Stinging Dragon Heaven. This young lady is named Chi Pengpeng, and she is a disciple of True Person Yuanchen. She entered the sect two hundred and thirty years ago. True Person Yuanchen dotes on her, and since her Foundation Establishment, she has never been assigned any tasks."

Ruan Ci asked, "Is this in accordance with the rules?"

Seeing Tianlu shook his head and said, "Actually, it is not. There are many things in the Pot-Hidden Heaven that are not in accordance with the rules."

He was so familiar with the personnel within the sect that he could speak of them off the cuff. Not to mention Ruan Ci, even the two of them felt a sense of shock upon hearing a little of it. Old Can said in a shrill voice, "Brat, who are you? Where are you going? You crashed and broke our carriage; do you think you can just walk away like this?"

He repeatedly mentioned the fallen carriage wheel, precisely to limit this matter to a dispute over the damaged carriage. Ruan Ci said, "What a joke. We are not nameless. If your carriage is broken, you can go to Linggu Peak to find the deacon to make the decision, or at worst, go to Seven Stars Cottage to find the Sect Master. By pestering us here, I think you want to kill me—I just dealt with two assassins with no beginning or end here. So you are the masterminds behind the scenes? Since the Foundation Establishment assassins couldn't kill me, you changed to a Golden Core one and found a random excuse to attack the door."

Her reaction was not slow. In the blink of an eye, she pinned a crime on Old Can. Chi Pengpeng and Seeing Tianlu were both just anxious on the side. Seeing Tianlu's mind was simple, and with the two of them trading verbal blows, it would take him a while to understand. Chi Pengpeng, however, didn't know how to respond even after understanding. Ruan Ci glanced at her and thought to herself, "Never going out, only cultivating in the sect—that's how it is. People are raised to be stupid."

Old Can was ultimately not human, and his words were not as sharp as Ruan Ci's. He was so angry that his whole body shook, and he let out a sharp whistle, "How annoying for a junior to bark! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Chen Zhanglao of Linggu Peak!"

Countless thin threads flew out from his sleeves, carrying seven-colored luster. In the blink of an eye, they had covered the sky. Seeing Tianlu shouted, "This is his Ice Soul Golden Silkworm Silk, which can seal the heaven and earth's energy. Miss Ci, it's not enough that they sent one wave of assassins; they still suspect the Donghua Sword is on you and want to make a move to test you!"

This child believed whatever Ruan Ci said. Ruan Ci said that these two and the previous assassins were sent by the same group, so Seeing Tianlu followed that analysis. Ruan Ci sneered, "Didn't the Donghua Sword Envoy go to cultivate with the Sect Master? They naturally don't believe it and are probing everywhere. This is colluding with those outside the sect, wanting to snatch the Green Sword?"

She backhanded and gripped the Linghua Jade Wall, shouting "Well come!", "If you want to see, then I'll let you see. Just don't regret it!"

At this time, the silkworm silk had already blotted out the sky and sun, as if it were going to weave a large cocoon to shroud the Grotto-Heaven within. Seeing Tianlu was about to release his spiritual power to resist Old Can, but Ruan Ci grabbed his arm, backhanded and sacrificed the jade wall, and shouted angrily, "Kill them for me!"

On the jade wall, a dragon pattern immediately bared its fangs and brandished its claws, turning into a flying dragon of sword energy and flying out. Ruan Ci felt it wasn't enough, so she probed her consciousness into the jade wall and brought out two more wisps of sword energy. They clashed and charged in the air, forming a tornado of wind. Just the sound of the wind passing by stirred the Ice Soul Golden Silkworm Silk into disarray. The flying dragon chased directly after Chi Pengpeng. Chi Pengpeng screamed, turned around, and dived into the carriage. Old Can also turned into a white light and fled into the carriage. The purple crystal flying carriage let out a 'hum' in the air, and with just a tremble, it disappeared. The next moment, it had appeared at the edge of the broken large cocoon.

Ruan Ci beckoned to call back the whirlwind. She saw that these two wisps of sword energy could not enter the jade wall either, so they threw themselves into the wall body and turned into cloud patterns. But the sword energy flying dragon did not return. Its flying speed was faster than the purple crystal flying carriage. In an instant, it appeared behind the carriage, chewed with its big mouth, and passed through the carriage body. The flying carriage looked completely undamaged, but after a moment, it suddenly turned into pieces of broken crystal and fell downward.

From the scene, it could be seen that although the shape of the flying carriage had not changed, its 'momentum' had been completely chewed up by the flying dragon, so it could no longer maintain its shape. Ruan Ci looked closely at the falling fragments but saw no trace of people. She couldn't help but rub her eyes and wondered, "Aren't they inside? I saw their momentum."

"That is the 'Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell' technique of the Pot-Hidden Stinging Dragon Heaven," Seeing Tianlu shook his head. "It looks like they are here, but in reality, they are already elsewhere. Even in the momentum field, it is difficult to find them. The Pot-Hidden Stinging Dragon Heaven sent them to test you also because this kind of escape technique is extremely easy to get away with. We can't catch them, and we don't have the evidence in our hands, so it's not easy to seek justice."

He was a little embarrassed again and whispered, "Miss Ci, actually these two are not in the same group as the previous batch of assassins. I... I followed your words and framed them!"

As he spoke, he was slightly excited, but also had a bit of a guilty conscience after doing something bad. Ruan Ci saw that he was cute and couldn't help but smile, "That's what they deserve. They broke your carriage and wanted to frame us in return, asking us to pay."

When talking about the broken carriage, Seeing Tianlu became sad again. Ruan Ci reached out to call back the flying dragon, but the flying dragon was patrolling and searching in the air, still unsatisfied, and did not listen to her commands. Ruan Ci lost a bit of face, beckoned repeatedly, and forced a smile, "This jade wall was given to me by someone—sigh, I haven't figured out how to use it yet."

She sacrificed the jade wall again, and the flying dragon flew back reluctantly and threw itself onto the jade wall. Ruan Ci touched the jade wall and wondered, "Why are the patterns not as clear as before?"

Seeing Tianlu leaned over to take a look and said, "This sword energy poured into the jade wall is originally something that decreases with every bit used. But the Linghua Jade Wall itself is a spiritual vessel for nourishing, and the Green Sword's sword energy has its own vitality, which is why it has such spirituality. Returning to the jade wall, it turns into patterns. But even so, every use has consumption. Miss Ci, you set a method for it to kill those two cultivators. If it can complete the method, it will naturally have some benefits, just like the first time it killed the assassin, swallowing its Dao foundation, not only without loss but even more spiritual. But this time it returned without success, so all the wear and tear is calculated on itself. Therefore, it has become much more blurred. If it returns without success two or three more times, this wisp of sword energy will dissipate."

Ruan Ci suddenly realized after hearing what he said. She stroked the jade wall and cherished it very much, sighing, "Then I must use it carefully. Once it's used up, it's gone."

She and Seeing Tianlu stood in front of the Grotto-Heaven gate and talked for a long time. Seeing Tianlu sent out a white light toward the horizon, sent Ruan Ci back to the mansion, and the servants all returned to their rooms. After a while, a white mist rose above the Grotto-Heaven, which was clearly the activation of the protective array. Only then did Seeing Tianlu turn and walk to the cliff, looking at the dense forest with nostalgia—his carriage was still there—and turned into a clear light, disappearing in a flash.

After another hour, a silver light flashed vaguely in the white clouds on the horizon. Old Can and Chi Pengpeng appeared. Chi Pengpeng still had a look of fear on her face. The two looked down, and Old Can took Chi Pengpeng and fled. Not long after, they returned to the Pot-Hidden Stinging Dragon Heaven and requested an audience with True Person Yuanchen.

True Person Yuanchen was cultivating. The two waited for several hours before they were allowed to enter for an audience. Old Can told the story one by one and said, "That girl is truly a woman from the outer continent of South Barbarian. She shouts and kills at the slightest disagreement, and her speech is very rude, with a very strong street atmosphere. At every turn..."

Old Can couldn't even bring himself to say what Ruan Ci called herself, "Little Lady." Chi Pengpeng was also so angry that her face was red. True Person Yuanchen didn't avoid it and listened to every word of Ruan Ci, nodding, "The outer continent lacks education, and she has worked as a shop clerk, so it's not surprising that her behavior is a bit rude."

He was actually clear about Ruan Ci's background. Chi Pengpeng wondered, "Although this woman's talent is not bad, she once engaged in a lowly profession. Why would the sect accept her?"

"She should be the cousin of the Sword Envoy. Although she is not of the Ruan family's blood, she can also be the Sword Envoy's arm in the future. That is why Zixu Dongzhao Heaven accepted her so that she could pass messages in the middle." True Person Yuanchen arched his hands toward the Zixu Heaven direction from afar, as if sympathizing with Wang True Person for accepting such a wild girl. "Wang Que and Sister Xie Nie have a deep hatred, so he naturally wouldn't accept the Sword Envoy she personally chose. Even for this cousin, he accepted her reluctantly. I heard that he complained to the Old Ancestor the day before yesterday that the Sect Master allocated a large batch of spiritual items, which finally blocked his mouth."

Old Can said in a shrill voice, "Young Master, looking at it this way, the divination is indeed not bad. The Donghua Sword is indeed on the Ruan family's bloodline. This woman is a blood relative, so she was gifted with a sword energy jade wall for protection. It's just laughable that she doesn't know how to hide it, cannot drive it as she wishes, and shows it off at will. Such a treasure is actually used at will in a dispute within the sect. It is truly a waste of heaven's gifts."

Chi Pengpeng thought of how she couldn't even retort a single word when Ruan Ci spoke, and she felt the same way, sighing, "Exactly. She actually hung the assassin on a pole. Old Can just wanted to trap the two of them, but she made a move to take our lives—if it weren't for good luck, just being a relative of the Sword Envoy, how could such a barbaric person have such good fortune to be able to enter our Immortal Sect!"

She acted like a spoiled child again, "Master, your disciple was taken advantage of, but I was still confused. It shows that my experience in the world is still lacking. In the future, when I go out, I will inevitably have to deal with these people. When will you assign me tasks? Even that little clerk today used this to make a point."

True Person Yuanchen's expression moved, and he asked, "What did she say?"

Chi Pengpeng mimicked her and said angrily, "She talked about reason, but it was all her reason. She said that when it comes to being unreasonable, no one is more unreasonable than her. How can anyone be like this! It's like... it's like a piece of tough meat! Very annoying!"

True Person Yuanchen listened to all of Ruan Ci's rudeness with a smile, as if it were a pastime. But this conversation made his brows wrinkle slightly. Just as he was about to speak, someone outside reported that the Sect Master had summoned him.

With the Sect Master's invitation, everyone naturally retreated for the time being. Chi Pengpeng returned to her residence, but she was not angry. Instead, her expression was deep, no longer the spoiled look from before, and she didn't know what she was thinking. After half a day, hearing that the True Person had returned to the mansion, she hurriedly sent a maid to inquire. The maid went for two hours and returned, saying, "The Sect Master blamed the Master, brought up many things, said that our Pot-Hidden Heaven is overbearing and does not follow the rules everywhere, cut off 20% of the offerings, and also took away the duties of Chen Zhanglao of Linggu Peak. The Master has already gone to see the Great Master."

Chi Pengpeng's expression moved, and she asked, "Why was Chen Zhanglao's duty taken away?"

"Listening to the elder sister beside the Master, it seems that Old Can made a mistake and said the wrong thing, saying that he wanted to teach the disciples in the sect on behalf of Chen Zhanglao. The Sect Master blamed him for overstepping his authority and not knowing the severity. Chen Zhanglao also didn't know how to restrain himself and was careless in his dealings, so he was removed from his post and ordered to reflect behind closed doors for ten years."

This is exactly the case of 'if you want to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext'. Chen Zhanglao of Linggu Peak was not under the Pot-Hidden Heaven. Just because of Old Can's boast, his position was immediately stripped. Chi Pengpeng let out a long breath and nodded without a word. The maid said indignantly, "This disposal has caused our Pot-Hidden Heaven to lose face. The crime is light but the punishment is heavy. The Sect Master is truly confused!"

Chi Pengpeng's expression changed, and she scolded, "Shut up! The dignity of the Sect Master, is that something you can discuss at will? Slap yourself a hundred times! Don't come to serve me these few days!"

The maid hurriedly kowtowed to apologize and retreated. Chi Pengpeng sat in the room, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, a middle-aged servant woman walked in with a cup of spiritual tea and said softly, "Miss has been wronged today. Drink a cup of tea, and don't argue with the South Barbarian wild girl."

This woman was brought by Chi Pengpeng from her own home. When Chi Pengpeng saw it was her, her expression softened a little. She asked her to sit on the small table and sighed, "Nanny, I'm not angry at that wild girl—actually, some of her words are not unreasonable. The Langhuan Heaven and Earth doesn't like the strong bullying the weak. Even if I went alone, I would be ashamed, let alone the fact that Master also let me bring Old Can? This time, our Pot-Hidden Heaven was overbearing first, so I can't blame her for mocking us everywhere."

As for Ruan Ci releasing sword energy to chase and kill the two later, Chi Pengpeng seemed to have some insights, but just the opening words made the nanny's expression change drastically, so she covered it up and didn't mention it. Even so, the nanny was terrified and raised her hand to cover her cherry mouth, whispering, "Miss, in the Great Master's Grotto-Heaven, how can these words be spoken at will? The words you just used to scold Zhu'er should be used on yourself!"

Chi Pengpeng sighed, lowered her head, and said softly, "Nanny, there are undercurrents in the sect. I really want to go out to avoid this storm—since Sister Xie Nie betrayed the sect three thousand years ago, the Sect Master's line has always been low-key and self-guarded. But now, the Sword Envoy has been in the sect for less than a month, and she has already attacked our Pot-Hidden Heaven, as well as Chen Zhanglao of Linggu Peak. He is the Chen of the Pure Yang Yan Zheng Heaven."

The Pure Yang Yan Zheng Heaven and the Pot-Hidden Stinging Dragon Heaven have been extremely proud in these two thousand years, overshadowing the Seven Stars Cottage by a lot. But no one expected that the gradually declining Sect Master's line would bring the Donghua Sword back to the sect three thousand years later, re-stabilizing the sect's fortune. In less than a month, the Sect Master's momentum was aggressive, and he made moves one after another. He happened to hold the truth, making the two major Grotto-Heavens feel difficult to handle. Chi Pengpeng said, "It's been less than a month, and it's already like this. In the next thousand years, I'm afraid the sect will be turned upside down and personnel will be in turmoil? The Sword Envoy is deeply hidden in the Seven Stars Cottage and hasn't come out yet. The current probing is all on this little Ci. According to my guess, the reason why Chen Zhanglao of Linggu Peak was also punished is related to the first batch of assassins that little Ci encountered."

"This time, Master sent me to go, but I had no face to bully a little girl who had just opened her meridians. I also intended to hide my clumsiness, hoping that Master would see that I was useless and let me go out to be tempered. Nanny, you and the elder sisters beside Master are on good terms. You should do this..."

As she spoke, she gave detailed instructions in the nanny's ear. The nanny nodded in understanding, but then said, "Miss, you want to avoid disaster, which is also a way to protect yourself. I am very relieved, but this matter is not that simple. Since the kindness of master and apprentice has been formed, how can there be a reason for a disciple to betray her master? Having enjoyed the prosperity of the Grotto-Heaven for more than two hundred years since entering the sect, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get away now. But since I have received the instructions, I will do my best. Please rest assured about this, Miss."

She then said goodbye and left. Chi Pengpeng sighed long, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, still full of worries.

As for Ruan Ci, after driving away Chi Pengpeng, she naturally closed the door to cultivate. No one came to tell her about these things. She could only hear from afar the movement of someone cleaning up and searching in the forest. A few days later, Seeing Tianlu drove a magnificent large carriage and came from Zixu Heaven to see her. The carriage was full of spiritual food and precious medicine. He held his head high and said very proudly, "Miss Ci, the True Person said that from now on, this carriage belongs to me—I have tried it, it is very sturdy and cannot be broken no matter how it is hit."

He had left a jade slip for Ruan Ci before, which was full of commonly used talismans and spells. Ruan Ci had been studying and pondering for the past few days. Seeing Tianlu pointed out some things to Ruan Ci and told Ruan Ci about the Sect Master's punishment, adding, "The True Person said that Miss Ci did a good job, but don't say things like 'your mother' in the future. It's too rude."

Ruan Ci listened, thoughtful, and said, "The True Person seems to value these things very much. It's truly elegant."

Seeing Tianlu smiled, "Which Grotto-Heaven True Person doesn't value their face?" He didn't even deny Ruan Ci's words.

Ruan Ci played with Seeing Tianlu again. The two rode in the carriage and traveled back and forth on the mountaintop. When the carriage was driving, it would sprinkle bursts of golden fragrant powder. The two almost sprinkled the golden powder all over the sky above the mountaintop before Seeing Tianlu reluctantly drove the carriage back to Zixu Heaven.

Returning to the Grotto-Heaven, he naturally had to go back to report. If it were other matters, the True Person would often not summon him if he heard it was handled well. This time, Wang True Person summoned Seeing Tianlu in and asked, "What did you say to her? And what did that savage say?"

Seeing Tianlu had learned to be obedient after handling things a few times. He first talked about Ruan Ci's progress, "In half a month, she learned many talismans and spells, but she didn't go out."

He also talked about his own actions. Although he blushed, he still reported truthfully about his driving the carriage and shouting, and playing in the sky. He looked at Wang True Person with trepidation. Seeing that Wang True Person was not drinking tea, he breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Miss Ci also asked me to tell the True Person that she wants to raise a cat."

Wang True Person's breathing paused, and he slowly poured a cup of tea from the pot, "She only said this sentence?"

Seeing Tianlu counted on his fingers and recalled, "Miss Ci said that in the past in South Zhuzhou, hiding from her that she was the Sword Envoy was for the safety of the people of South Zhuzhou. She is grateful for the Sect Master's kindness. She doesn't understand why she still has to hide it after entering the sect. Looking at it now, she has no benefits, and all the benefits have been gained by the Sect Master and the True Person."

Wang True Person said "Oh", "How does she know I gained benefits?"

Seeing Tianlu raised his face and smiled innocently, "Miss Ci asked me why I sent so much spiritual food, and I told Miss Ci... ah!"

Once the words were out, he realized he had caused trouble again. He hurriedly covered his mouth and stood there stunned, his big eyes gradually becoming wet. Wang True Person raised his cup to taste the fragrant tea and sighed, "It's fine, continue."

Seeing Tianlu stammered, "Miss Ci said that the Sect Master sent so many good things, but she only got some food. This deal is not cost-effective... She also said, she also said, she has been raising cats since she was a child. After coming to the Shangqing Sect, she has no pets around her, and she is not used to it. Even a common cat would be fine. She just wants to raise one so she won't be lonely..."

Wang True Person slowly finished the tea and stopped talking. A day later, a black and white spotted cat ran over from the mountain with small steps, jumped three or two times, and jumped into Ruan Ci's Grotto-Heaven.
