Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 875

At this moment, a figure took a half step from the corridor, but did not land on the ground, and turned back the same way. The movement was slight, but Sang Yue still heard it. She quickly looked back and was speechless.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

The boss just gave a colleague a bad review, and the colleague happened to hear it? Since she was present, she had to think of a way to smooth things over and appease the other party's injured self-esteem... This broken workplace pattern is so familiar.

"What's wrong? Are you busy?" Noticing her absent-mindedness, he tried to do two things at once.

"No," Sang Yue shook her head honestly, "but Aji might have."

Although the figure shrank quickly, she recognized the clothes; they belonged to Meng Ji.

"He didn't," If he had, he wouldn't dare not come in and report just because there were too many of her, "He probably saw you and misunderstood."

If someone dares to leave just for this reason, it is definitely not a big deal, so it’s better not to listen.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Since Sang Yue regarded him as an old friend, she had a weak sense of hierarchy between them. However, in the eyes of others, her behavior was tantamount to usurpation, lack of respect for hierarchy, and unfairness to her colleagues.

Originally, Meng Ji and He Yu were his two most capable waiters. Because of her coming, she completely occupied the position of the two of them in his eyes as an old friend.

She actually didn't quite understand this emotional gap, after all, she had never experienced it.

When she was a famous singer in her hometown, she often encountered such conflicts with the staff around her. As for who was right and who was wrong, she, who was busy with her daily schedule and had no time to think about money-making tools, could not tell the difference.

But one thing is clear, if the second sister puts all her energy into the new singer, she will be grateful and rush to the temple overnight to light the first incense stick the next morning~.

She hated the words "the more capable you are, the more work you should do" and she really didn't have the extra energy to care about the mental health of her staff.

So, the current situation is giving her a headache.

"Oh, my Lord," since things had come to this point, she decided to go beyond her authority, "I used A-Man and his blood to refine a poison..."

As he spoke, he took out a few boxes of pills from the space and placed them on the table, and told the reactions of several people after trying the pills:

"...It's so strange. I ate A-Man's blood poison but there was no reaction. Why don't you try it too?"

Oh? The Immortal Venerable glanced at the pill she held with a small spoon, and Sang Yue immediately understood, and brought the pill close to his lips and bit it. The leader tasted it himself, and she couldn't help but wait nervously for the evaluation, worried that she would also get a bad review.

Fortunately, the Immortal Venerable didn't let her wait too long:

"Your mount is a devouring beast, and its blood is naturally fierce. It's fine for me, but other immortals and beasts with insufficient cultivation will inevitably be affected. Even divine beasts are like this. Your little Qilin is still young, and it will not be a problem if its bloodline is pure..."

Being young, I didn’t understand the meaning of violence. I just felt a little uncomfortable, so I didn’t have any other reaction.

Mengji and Heyu are both adult animals, and their nature is difficult to tame.

Their current calm temperaments were the result of their having smoothed their edges and corners over the long years and seeing through the world. They were cultivated after birth, so even if they were tempted to be violent by the blood of the devouring monsters, it would only last for a moment and would not cause any harm.

"As for you..." After a pause, his gentle gaze fell on her.

Sang Yue subconsciously sat up straight and waited for the next words. He looked away and returned his attention to the carving while explaining:

"You were already affected when you were in your hometown. You've been with it for too long and you've gotten used to it, so you thought you had no reaction. Ultimately, it's because your cultivation is too low, and you can't tell whether it's your nature or the pull of evil spirit."

"Hometown?" Sang Yue was slightly surprised. She tried to recall the incident and frowned to guess, "...the urge to twist someone's head?"

In the distant memories, the excitement of twisting my head and the sense of relief after the relief are no longer there. "I guess so," the Immortal Venerable said nonchalantly, "How else to explain that a lazy little girl like you would have such a violent impulse?"

Her ancestors for more than a dozen generations were all good citizens, so there is no such thing as inheritance from previous generations.

Fortunately, she had strong self-control, and she didn't kill innocent people even when she turned evil. She had been with the Devouring Monster for too long, and she had developed immunity to the vicious aura, so Ah Man's bloodiness today could not affect her.

"So it was caused by this," Sang Yue suddenly realized after hearing the explanation, "I thought it was the sequelae left by the female devil in previous lives..."

This made her worried for a long time, and she was always afraid that the devil's temperament would return.

"Life goes on and on, and temperaments vary according to fate. Who can maintain the same temperament from life to life?"

Unless she is the daughter of Heaven, unfortunately Heaven has no children~.

"Your Excellency is so amazing. My cultivation is really too low and I never thought of this." Sang Yue was grateful. "It's true that listening to your words is worth ten years of practice..."

"If you have something to say, please speak up," the Immortal Master frowned, his eyes showing disdain, "Don't use your poor flattering acting skills."

His scalp tingled when he heard this, and he got goose bumps all over his body because he felt so embarrassed for her.

"Although it's clumsy, it's sincere." Since she didn't like to hear words of gratitude and had no way to express her gratitude, Sang Yue stood up and knelt respectfully to ask for the guidance of the Immortal Lord, "Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand..."

There is no rush to find out the whereabouts of the founder of the Wanjian Sect where Tu Qingyun is. I will tell him if we meet again.

Anyway, he is now in the fairyland, with the life goal of "finding the ancestor", so he will live cautiously. The greater the setbacks he encounters, the stronger his motivation to break through the shackles will be. She has great confidence in his caution.

What worries me most is the symbiotic relationship between Lu Qingzi and her husband Tongzi.

"When a person was on the verge of death, she encountered an invasion from an alien spirit, who forcibly bound her to a symbiotic relationship while she was unconscious..." She spoke more tactfully, trying not to reveal who this person was.

There is no shortage of immortals in the world who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of the overall situation.

She knew that her master was not that kind of immortal, but she had no choice but to be on guard because it was a habit.

"You mean your friend named Lu and her system?" Too lazy to listen to her nagging, he got straight to the point.

Sang Yue's expression was numb, and she said dryly: "...Your Majesty is wise."

The old friend has confirmed it, otherwise how would he know the word system?
"This is not difficult," he said calmly while concentrating on carving, "The system, to put it bluntly, is also a curse from a vengeful spirit from a foreign land..."

During the Tianxuan incident, he noticed this phenomenon in her consciousness and traced its source to investigate.

It turned out that the so-called system came from a high-tech planet. It was so advanced that it could search for all planets with life in the universe, including her hometown.

But the life forms on higher-level planets looked down upon the old and backward civilization of her hometown.

So when making interstellar friends, she directly skipped the weak and almost unreceivable friendly signals from her hometown. However, there is no perfect life in the world. Their planet has advanced technology and abundant spiritual energy.

It can be said that they are lucky to live in a small spiritual world.

Unfortunately, after discovering the wonders and convenience of science and technology, they excitedly abandoned the spiritual practice passed down by their ancestors in the tide of history.

Even more unfortunately, this small spiritual world was discovered by evil cultivators.
