Chapter 58

Soon after Xuanqing Daozhang finished using the Healing Technique, he was about to withdraw his gaze when, looking toward Wang Ping'an, his peripheral vision caught something abnormal about Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray; his expression shifted slightly, fearing he might have misseen.

He turned his head to look, and at once fixed his eyes!

Afterward.

Xuanqing Daozhang couldn't help drawing a sharp breath, his face showing shock he could not hide.

Liu Dongzhu said anxiously, 'Daozhang, what's wrong? What happened to our family's spirit cat and eagle? Are they seriously injured? You can't cure them—no, Daozhang, you won't be able to cure them anytime soon!'

Not long ago.

As Xuanqing Daozhang entered the hall holding Hei Mao Bu Tou in one hand and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray in the other, she immediately noticed the miserable state of Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray.

Obviously.

Their battle was no ordinary brutality!

Her heart gave a sudden 'thump' and jumped.

One is her family's Ping'an's protective divine beast, the other is her family's Ping'an's lifesaver; whichever is injured, she will feel heartbroken.

If Xuanqing Daozhang hadn't said it was fine, and if her parents hadn't said he could treat it, she would have wanted her parents to summon Wei Langzhong.

Even though Wei Langzhong treats people and has never treated animals or pets!

'Dongzhu, rest assured, they're fine!'

Xuanqing Daozhang smiled; the Healing Technique was one of the arts he had studied most diligently, and because he had been poor, he had made money from it.

Frankly speaking, with his Healing Technique, as long as there is still a breath, he can pull patients out of the King of Hell's hall.

Let alone Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray having only minor injuries; even if they were seriously injured, he could treat them.

What shocked him was that, as he applied the Healing Technique to Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, their injuries not only healed but their bodies seemed to grow much stronger.

Clearly, his Healing Technique is for healing only, not for strengthening the physique.

How could he not be shocked!

This is enough to show that there is something off about Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray.

However.

All good things!

Liu Dongzhu let out a breath of relief, saying, 'It's fine as long as it's fine!'

'My master's eyesight is quite strong; Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray have only slightly strengthened their bodies, yet he could actually notice that!'

Wang Ping'an sighed inwardly; lying in his mother's embrace, he could clearly see the change in his master Xuanqing Daozhang's expression.

Naturally, he knew why his master's eyes flashed with surprise.

Wang Ping'an secretly decided: 'It seems I must be more careful before my master from now on, or if I reveal a flaw, I won't have any good fruit to eat!'

Xuanqing Daozhang was not at all angry about Liu Dongzhu's questioning; on the contrary, it showed how much she cared about Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, showing she was not only a good mother but also a good family member.

Perhaps…

Even if his disciple Ping'an is not a reincarnation of a Great Benevolent Person—no, it's very likely that Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray were attracted to his disciple Ping'an's Innate Dao Body.

Who let Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray linger by Wang Ping'an's side to sponge off spiritual qi blessings; he saw it clearly.

Even if his disciple is not an Innate Dao Body, given his mother Liu Dongzhu's nature, she might still attract Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray.

A virtuous household will surely receive blessings!

Just thinking that Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray could actually strengthen their bodies with the Healing Technique, Xuanqing Daozhang couldn't help but lift his head to glance at Wang Ping'an, seeing nothing abnormal about him.

He had not used the Healing Technique!

A flicker of disappointment flashed in Xuanqing Daozhang's eyes; he had deliberately brought Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray to the hall, to Wang Ping'an's face, and used the Healing Technique, naturally not to show off before Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an is so young that even if he performed well, nobody would remember.

He wanted to see whether, by using the Healing Technique in front of Wang Ping'an, this boy could learn it, just as one learns the Blessing Technique.

'That's right, but after only one use, even if this boy's comprehension were terrifying, he couldn't possibly learn it all at once; he'd need ten or twenty repetitions!'

Xuanqing Daozhang shook his head and gave a quiet chuckle; in fact, he believed more that Wang Ping'an could learn the Blessing Technique, perhaps just a coincidence.

But he still hoped that Wang Ping'an would surprise him again and again, that Wang Ping'an could accomplish what he himself could not, even though Wang Ping'an is still young…

Too bad.

He also knew that this was very likely just his wishful thinking.

'Dongzhu, remember to bring Ping'an to the temple to burn a stick of incense and pray for peace on every holiday!'

Xuanqing Daozhang gave that reminder, then rose and left.

'Daozhang, I will!'

This novel you have arrived at

Liu Dongzhu responded.

'Daozhang, I'll see you off!'

After a long while, as Peregrine Falcon Little Gray exhausted the energy of the Healing Technique, its injured body not only was healed but also strengthened; it immediately spread its wings and flew high, disappearing from before Hei Mao Bu Tou.

It is the king of the sky, inherently of extremely proud nature; having lost to Hei Mao Bu Tou, whom it never even regarded, it already considered it a great disgrace, and now, being forced by Hei Mao Bu Tou's martial might, it is compelled to acknowledge Hei Mao Bu Tou as its boss.

This makes it feel a shame worse than death!

Of course.

It is not such a weakling that after one failure it would beg for life or death.

It must know shame before it can be brave!

Liu Dongzhu panicked, 'Mom, our family's eagle, how did it fly away?'

'What do you mean our family's eagle? It is the king of the sky, a free and unrestrained child of the heavens, not anyone's!'

Zhang Guihua laughed and said, 'It might fly away, possibly because it was defeated by our family's divine cat hero, losing face to stay here.'

'Like that!'

Liu Dongzhu's face full of disappointment, 'I still wanted it to stay in our home and protect our family Ping'an together with our family's divine cat hero!'

Wang Ping'an, relying on the Beast Taming skill, could actually sense the thoughts of Peregrine Falcon Little Gray; naturally he understood why it would fly away as soon as its injury healed.

First, to avoid embarrassment—or rather, to avoid losing face—but actually it's to avoid losing the eagle, to keep staying here under the same roof as Hei Mao Bu Tou.

Second, he wants to train himself, gain stronger abilities, in order to defeat Hei Mao Bu Tou and avenge his grudge.

Wang Ping'an didn't stop it, after all Peregrine Falcon Little Gray had the will to become stronger; to him that was a good thing, so he quickly divided his attention, on one side driving Hei Mao Bu Tou out of the hall to go to the village to look for the granary.

Hunting rats to gain Merit as well!

On one side, using the Beast Taming skill, the Pet's Eye skill, and the Pet's Ear skill, he fully drove the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray that had just flown away not far.

Seeking a way to gain Merit!

Like Hei Mao Bu Tou, going to the granary to hunt rats for Merit is impossible, unsuitable for the Peregrine Falcon, so he must think of another way.

First, start by hunting other animals!
