Chapter 475: Kun Shan's Doubts

When Xiao Ke Ke opened her eyes again, they had already turned calm.

She nodded, "Okay."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, waved his palm, and hundreds of Jade Bottles appeared; he took one out from among them and put the other Jade Bottles away.

Afterwards, he flicked his finger and sent the Jade Bottle in front of Xiao Ke Ke, "There are ten Perfect Pills for repairing one's foundation in this Jade Bottle."

"Six of them are for you and Wei Yuan and the others; you can keep the remaining four for now, just consider it a reward paid to you in advance."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xiao Ke Ke could not help but swallow her saliva.

Could it be that all of those hundreds of Jade Bottles from just now were Perfect Pills?

And he gave her four extra ones as soon as he made a move; isn't this too extravagant?

At this moment.

She suddenly realized.

Being a maid for an Alchemist capable of refining Perfect Pills did not seem like a bad thing after all.

Immediately after, she was startled by this thought of hers.

She hurriedly cast the thought aside.

A wave of self-reproach filled her heart.

Xiao Ke Ke, oh Xiao Ke Ke, you have promised Brother Wei Yuan that you would become his Dao Companion in the future.

Becoming Wang Jianqiang's maid is only due to the force of circumstances.

How could you have such a shameless thought?

After coming to her senses, she took the Jade Bottle and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Master, I need to go out for a while."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Mm, remember what I instructed you."

Xiao Ke Ke nodded.

She rushed out of Wang Jianqiang's residence, feeling somewhat impatient.

She flew toward the direction of Wei Yuan's residence at the fastest speed.

Along the way.

Thinking of the scene where Brother Wei Yuan would have his foundation repaired and his cultivation breakthrough as he wished after obtaining the Perfect Pills, a smile could not help but bloom on her face.

Not long after.

She arrived at the door of Wei Yuan's residence and discovered that Wei Yuan was actually not at home.

She took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, wanting to send a message to ask.

But she discovered that the message could not be sent.

"The distance is too far, and the connection has vanished?"

Her heart stirred, and her brows furrowed.

Could Brother Wei Yuan have left the city?

She thought for a moment.

She went to the residences of the other four companions and discovered that the four of them were also not in their residences.

She immediately confirmed her guess.

She could not help but feel some doubt in her heart.

How could Brother Wei Yuan and the others leave the city without notifying her?

Could it be that they did not notify her on purpose?

That must be it.

Brother Wei Yuan and the others must have felt that there was no hope of obtaining Perfect Pills, so they went to the wilderness to search for opportunities.

And opportunities capable of repairing one's foundation are all extremely precious; they can hardly be found in ordinary places.

Therefore, they could only go to some dangerous places to take risks.

Brother Wei Yuan must have been worried that she would be in danger if she followed, so he intentionally did not call her.

Thinking of this.

Her heart felt both sweet and helpless.

She had finally managed to obtain the Perfect Pills from Wang Jianqiang's hands.

She had not expected that she would miss Brother Wei Yuan and the others by such a coincidence.

If it were normal times.

She could leave the city to look for Brother Wei Yuan and the others.

But now that she had become Wang Jianqiang's maid, she had to obey his instructions in everything.

She could only wait in the city for Brother Wei Yuan and the others to return.

Thinking of this.

She shook her head helplessly and returned toward Wang Jianqiang's residence.

In the days that followed.

Wang Jianqiang began his life of refining Pills, training his maid, and helping the City Lord, a three-point-one-line routine.

Kun Shan, however, became distressed.

During this period, he suddenly discovered that his Junior Sister seemed to have changed.

In the past.

His Junior Sister would often take the initiative to find him.

Although she appeared as someone who kept strangers at a distance to the outside world, she had always been lively when facing him.

But now.

Junior Sister always stays cooped up in her room alone, and no longer takes the initiative to come find him.

If he did not take the initiative to visit Junior Sister, he would not even be able to see her face once.

Moreover, Junior Sister is not only always preoccupied, but also suspicious of everyone and everything.

Whenever he takes the initiative to pay a visit.

He is met with a round of interrogation-style questioning from Junior Sister, making him prove his identity.

This leaves him feeling very helpless.

If he is not himself, could he possibly be someone else?

"Could Junior Sister have run into some trouble with her cultivation?"

This day.

Kunshan walks toward Caidie's residence while silently guessing the reason for Junior Sister's change in personality.

Not long after.

He arrives in front of the Pavilion where Caidie lives.

He knocks on the door lightly.

Creak~

The door of the building opens.

In the past.

Upon seeing him come to visit, Caidie's first reaction would always be joy.

However, now.

Upon seeing him, Caidie immediately reveals a look of wariness.

"Do not come in!"

"Tell me, when did I enter the Lieyun Sect? And when did I first meet you?"

Hearing this, Kunshan does not feel surprised.

Because he has experienced this kind of questioning more than once during this period.

He gives a bitter smile, "Junior Sister was born in an ordinary mortal village; when you were ten, the village was slaughtered by bandits, and you were the only one who luckily survived, being found by Master when he was out, and taken in as a disciple."

"We met after returning to the sect, and I was sixteen at that time."

Hearing Kunshan's answer, Caidie lets out a long sigh of relief.

The look of wariness on her face completely dissipates.

She smiles reluctantly, "Senior Brother, come in."

Kunshan nods, walks into the room, and finds a chair to sit down.

He looks at the somewhat distracted Caidie and frowns, "Junior Sister, what exactly happened? How did you suddenly become like this?"

Hearing this, Caidie comes back to her senses.

She hurriedly shakes her head, "Senior Brother, I am fine."

"How could you be fine?"

"Your personality before was not like this, and if you were fine, why would you suddenly be so wary of your Senior Brother?"

Kunshan shakes his head, intending to get to the bottom of it.

Junior Sister's state is too wrong, and he must ask clearly today.

Caidie's expression falters, then she quickly recovers to normal, "Senior Brother, I am really fine, I just encountered some problems in my cultivation and am in a bad mood."

It really is like that.

Kunshan thinks to himself, and says with a face full of concern, "Junior Sister, cultivation matters must never be rushed; otherwise, once an Inner Demon appears, it will be troublesome."

"Your current state is very wrong, and you might even be having hallucinations."

"This is one of the precursors to the birth of an Inner Demon; you must be cautious, and it is best to stop cultivating for a period of time, and wait until your state of mind recovers before continuing."

"Senior Brother, you are overthinking it; I will not develop an Inner Demon, I just encountered some cultivation difficulties and my mood was affected." Seeing her Senior Brother worried, Caidie cannot help but explain.

"Nonsense."

Kunshan glares at Caidie, "If you were not having hallucinations, how could you inexplicably doubt the authenticity of your Senior Brother's identity?"

"Junior Sister, an Inner Demon is that terrifying; it often grows out unknowingly, so it is not strange that you did not notice it yourself."

"Since Senior Brother has helped you discover it, you must take it seriously, do you understand?"

Looking at Kunshan's serious expression.

Caidie's red lips part.

In the end, she still does not tell the truth, and silently nods.
