Chapter 734
Miss Yun Zhi considered herself a person who was calm in the face of events and could analyze problems coolly when they arose.
For example, the terrifying tribulation lightning she encountered when crossing her tribulation, the first time she fought an immortal, or when she discovered Lu Yang's outstanding talent for spells... although some problems remained unsolved, she at least maintained a calm state.
When she finished listening to the Immortal Fairy's words, her mind truly couldn't process it.
Plop.
Lu Yang was so startled that the spirit fruit in his hand fell to the ground and rolled off somewhere.
"I, I am Lu Yang."
Lu Yang hurriedly revealed his true identity. If he let the Immortal Fairy continue speaking, there was no telling what shocking words she might say.
By then, if the Senior Sister couldn't bear to take action against the Fairy, he would be the one to suffer!
In the guest room, Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy were both kneeling obediently side-by-side, listening to Miss Yun Zhi's lecture.
Miss Yun Zhi paced back and forth in front of them holding a ruler, scaring the two of them so much that they trembled, not daring to make any move, not even daring to raise their heads, for fear of being struck by Miss Yun Zhi's ruler.
"Fairy Senior, some things cannot be said recklessly. It is very easy to cause a great disaster, do you know that?"
"I can understand your desire to protect the Junior Brother, but you cannot go too far. If this were heard by outsiders, they would think something had happened between you and the Junior Brother, affecting your and the Junior Brother's reputations."
"I was wrong. I will never lie again." The Immortal Fairy lowered her head to admit her mistake, her attitude quite sincere. If not for her lack of cultural literacy, she might even have had the urge to write a letter of apology.
It was rare to see the Immortal Fairy sincerely admit her mistake, and the sense of shock and dread that had just arisen in Miss Yun Zhi dissipated by more than half.
Intimidating them was enough; she couldn't really hit them with the ruler.
It was just a pity that the Imperial Throne had been left on Heaven Gate Peak and hadn't been brought out. Miss Yun Zhi simply found a chair in the guest room and sat down in front of the two, listening to Lu Yang recount the sequence of events.
"So, it was the laurel tree that had a problem, which caused you, Junior Brother, to be unfortunately affected when you lit the laurel tree, and your body became smaller?"
"It wasn't just me; all the disciples of the Xiangong became smaller."
Miss Yun Zhi nodded. This matter was neither big nor small. Just as Elder Zhou Yulu said, becoming smaller and losing one's cultivation base was temporary. As long as they didn't go out during this time, there wouldn't be any problems.
Of course, it would be best if there were no one like herself who had snuck into the Xiangong.
"Senior Sister, do you have a way to help me return to my original state?" Lu Yang looked hopefully at the omnipotent Senior Sister. A child's body was truly too inconvenient; he had to jump to sit on a stool, and he had to reach out with all his might to get a spirit fruit.
Miss Yun Zhi did not give an answer. She beckoned and said, "Come here, let me check."
"Oh."
Miss Yun Zhi pinched Lu Yang's face and touched his little head, then shook her head regretfully, shattering Lu Yang's hope: "No, I am not skilled in the path of pharmacology. Your situation can only be recovered with time."
The Immortal Fairy showed a puzzled expression. Was this matter really that difficult?
She wasn't skilled in the path of pharmacology either, but turning little Yangzi back was quite easy—a matter of a flick of her hand. It was just that once he was turned back, she wouldn't be able to knead little Yangzi as casually as she could now.
Yun girl had just taught her not to lie, so she must be telling the truth now, which proved she really didn't have this ability.
Looking at it this way, Yun girl really couldn't compare to her, the Immortal Fairy thought happily. Besides intelligence, she had found another area where she was stronger than Yun girl.
"Do you not have suitable clothes?" Miss Yun Zhi noticed that Lu Yang's clothes were unusually loose.
"No."
"In that case, find a piece of clothing, and I will tailor it for you."
Lu Yang looked delighted: "Senior Sister, you even know how to tailor clothes?"
"I learned it when I was young. I haven't used it for a long time; I hope I haven't become rusty."
When Lu Yang went to look for clothes, he realized that apart from the clothes wrapped around his body, all his other clothes were in his identity jade pendant.
And he had no magic power now, so he couldn't open the identity jade pendant.
Miss Yun Zhi took action and retrieved a set of clothes from Lu Yang's identity jade pendant. This had nothing to do with cultivation; it was the authority of the Acting Sect Master.
She carefully examined Lu Yang, formed a style for the clothes in her mind, and used her fingers as a blade to cut the clothes to a size suitable for the current Lu Yang.
Then, she took out a set of needles and thread from her own identity jade pendant and helped Lu Yang make the clothes, stitch by stitch—cutting, sewing, designing patterns, handling the pleats...
Miss Yun Zhi's movements were fluid, not at all like she had said about not having done needlework for a long time and being rusty. On the contrary, Lu Yang had never seen anyone whose craftsmanship in this area surpassed the Senior Sister's.
"It's done."
Miss Yun Zhi gave the clothes a shake, and a set of exquisitely crafted clothes with a white base and blue trim was finished. Lu Yang received them carefully, as if they were a precious treasure.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he had received something made by the Senior Sister's own hands. Not to mention its practical value, its commemorative significance was extraordinary.
"By the way, Fairy Senior, did you mean to let the people of the Xiangong drink the water from the Twin River?" Miss Yun Zhi finally remembered the main business of this trip.
"Yes, didn't they say they wanted a child? Drinking the water from the Twin River is just right."
"Then is there anything worth noting about drinking the river water, such as how much one can drink at a time?"
"The things I create don't have such fussy requirements. Drinking one bowl is enough. It doesn't matter if you drink too much or dive headfirst into the river; drinking too much won't result in giving birth to four children."
"Also, a person can only drink the Twin River water once in their lifetime. The second time they drink it, it will have no effect and will be no different from ordinary river water."
Miss Yun Zhi nodded inwardly. It seemed that the Twin River was the same as the Child-Mother River in terms of usage, just with slight differences in effect.
"Then, Junior Brother, take care of yourself in the Xiangong. Come back whenever you want to return to the Congwendao Sect." Miss Yun Zhi stood up to say goodbye. Although there were some twists and turns on this trip, the goal had been achieved after all.
After saying goodbye to the Senior Sister, Lu Yang asked the Immortal Fairy to close her eyes and not look at him.
"I'm going to change clothes."
"Don't worry, I won't look."
Lu Yang rustled as he put on his clothes. They were fitting and appropriate, and he looked brand new, becoming full of spirit.
Before, he had been wrapped in clothes like a blanket, looking like a patient.
Not long after Lu Yang changed his clothes, he heard Seeing Lan Ting knocking on the door: "Senior Brother Lu Yang, are you there?"
"Come in."
Seeing Lan Ting pushed the door open wearing new clothes, holding another set of clothes in her hands, a mischievous smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"Senior Brother Lu Yang, the Elder just went down the mountain and bought clothes for everyone, but the Elder was momentarily inattentive and forgot about your situation, so she bought women's clothes. Would you mind making do... eh, you have clothes to wear?"
Seeing Lan Ting looked in surprise at Lu Yang, who was wearing fitting clothes, her plan thwarted.
"Ah, yes, I happened to bring a set of children's clothes." Lu Yang laughed it off; he couldn't say that the Senior Sister had come by and made him a new set of clothes on the spot.
Seeing Lan Ting looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression. Why would Senior Brother Lu Yang carry children's clothes with him?
