Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 51 The Biggest Dark History
Qiu Ci removed the restrictions outside the house, and within a moment, Qi Hong walked in. "What's going on?"

Qi Hong was initially startled by the giant egg in the room, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "I heard that Senior is helping Fellow Daoist Xixun rebuild his body. We have urgently collected some soul-nourishing items. I wonder if they can help Fellow Daoist Xixun."

When the Immortal Alliance fought against the Monkey King, it was to protect them that the remaining soul became unstable. Qi Hong naturally always kept this matter in mind and had helped to look up classics everywhere, but unfortunately he did not find any good method.

Knowing that Qiu Ci had found a way, they were naturally delighted. The elders of the sect took out almost all the treasures they had in their boxes, and even went to the Immortal Alliance treasury to search around, and finally found some magical instruments and spiritual plants that were effective in nourishing the soul.

Qiu Ci saw him taking out a large pile of things. After a closer look, he found that there were some things that could help the monkey strengthen its soul. Although they were not very useful, they were numerous and could be used to set up a magic circle.

So he didn't hesitate and picked out a few items. "These are the ones you can use. I'll set up a magic circle. Forget about the others."

"Okay!" Qi Hong nodded, "It's good that I can help fellow Daoist Niu." After saying that, he looked at the egg in the middle worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Qiu Ci comforted him, "Its remaining soul has fallen into a deep sleep. I will send it back to Beast City. It will probably take decades for it to wake up."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay!" Qi Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't intend to move.

"Anything else?" Qiu Ci continued to ask.

Qi Hong looked up at her and inexplicably revealed a look of shame, especially when he found that she was still wearing the uniform of a menial disciple. The guilt in his heart almost overflowed. As for Senior Chu's identity, they had guessed it roughly since returning from the Immortal Alliance.

It's not just a powerful hidden being, perhaps it's an existence that they dare not even imagine. It's just that the elders don't say it clearly, so they pretend not to know.

Before, they just thought that the senior came to Xuantian Sect on a whim and appointed some disciples, thinking that they had everything they needed.

But after a battle with the Immortal Alliance and communicating with some strange beasts such as the Monkey King, they changed their minds.

Could it be that the senior is like the strange beasts, falling asleep from time to time, and this time he has just woken up after sleeping for several years, so he appeared in that small border town, and then by chance joined the Xuantian Sect and helped them overcome several crises.

But how did they treat the senior? Not to mention the natural treasures and magical resources, they didn't even give her a decent piece of clothing. If I hadn't accidentally seen her sewing clothes last time, I wouldn't have known that their benefactor of the Xuantian Sect was living in such a difficult situation.

They... deserve to die!

"Senior Chu has been practicing in seclusion in the back mountains. We dare not disturb him. It is also my fault that I have neglected my duties as the sect leader. Please forgive me." Qi Hong clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

"Huh?" Qiu Ci was confused by this inexplicable apology. What did it mean?
"Senior, you are so kind, but we shouldn't have been so rude. Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends now." Qi Hong said seriously, admitting his mistake calmly. "Senior, your kindness is too great to repay even with the help of our entire clan. So, we have prepared some robes and accessories to send to you. I wonder if you like them."

Qi Hong looked at the other party cautiously while speaking, and his words were full of twists and turns. After all, masters have always been very concerned about their reputation. He couldn't just say that he saw the senior's financial difficulties and came to send daily necessities. He was even more afraid that the other party would be angry at their neglect.

"Vestments?" Qiu Ci didn't understand the other party's evasive words at all. He only understood that he was here to give him clothes. He looked down at his gray and patched clothes. It was indeed time to change, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Qi Hong was immediately delighted. The senior had forgiven their previous neglect. He quickly waved to the disciples who had been waiting outside and said, "Mu'er, please send him in quickly."

"Yes, Master!" A familiar response came from outside.

The next moment, a man walked in holding four or five robes in his hands. The first thing that caught the eye was not the clothes in his hands, but what he was wearing. A familiar colorful robe caught the eye. The hem was particularly long and dragged to the ground, but there was a faint bulge at the waist, as if hiding something.

The other party held up the robe and bowed to her first, then stood up and revealed a very familiar face, "Greetings..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and his voice instantly rose several degrees as he exclaimed, "You damn liar! So it's you, this scoundrel... Ugh!"

Qiu Ci's heart skipped a beat, and his hands were quicker than his brain. He stepped forward and covered the other person's mouth, fearing that Ban Mu would shout out some vicious words again.

That’s right, the person who came was actually her biggest black history Ban Mu, the Ban Mu whose pants fell off when he was pulled!

She had been so busy these past few days that she had forgotten about stripping him naked and throwing him in the forest. Unexpectedly, he came back and followed Qi Hong to find her.

"This... Senior, do you know Mu'er?" Qi Hong glanced at the two of them with a confused look on his face.

"Mmmm..." Ban Mu struggled to say something.

Qiu Ci instinctively pressed his head down, twitching his lips and saying, "Hehehe... I know them, of course I know them. I took classes with Feng Ting and Zhen Yi when I first started."

"So that's it!" Qi Hong's eyes lit up, thinking that Ban Mu, like Feng Ting and Zhen Yi, was a junior favored by the seniors.

Seeing Ban Mu struggling even harder, Qiu Ci had no choice but to send him away, saying, "I'll take the robes. I still need to reinforce the magic circle of the demon. Ban Mu will stay and help me. Master, please go back first."

"Ah?" Before Qi Hong could react, the other party just waved his hand and pushed him out, and the restrictions around him were reopened.

He stood there in a daze, feeling that something was wrong, but he also thought that he was overthinking it. The senior's cultivation would not be detrimental to the junior, and he probably just wanted to give the other party some advice. So he turned around and left without thinking too much.

"You...what do you want to do?" Qiu Ci didn't let go of her hand until Qi Hong walked away. Ban Mu jumped several meters away in an instant and looked at her warily.

"Ahem... what?!" Qiu Ci also felt pain on his face. "I'm sorry about what happened last time!"

"Isn't it a little late to apologize now?!" Ban Mu was about to explode, as if the anger he had been holding back for days had finally been released. "Not only did you disappear, but you didn't even leave me a pair of pants! Do you know how long I've been standing there in the cold wind?"

If he hadn't encountered a wild beast unexpectedly and knew a little about how to deal with its fur, he wouldn't know how long he would have stayed there naked.

"Uh... I had no choice. I was busy saving people!" Besides, the teleportation talisman was passive, and she didn't know she would be teleported away at that time.

Ban Mu suddenly thought of something, and his expression brightened. He looked her up and down and said, "Are you...really...that Senior Chu?"

"My last name is indeed Chu, Chu Qiuci." She nodded.

Ban Mu's eyes were still filled with suspicion as he muttered, "Humph, I've never seen a senior who would steal someone the moment they meet..."

"Stop!" Qiu Ci interrupted in time, "Can you please stop talking about this? You already said it wasn't intentional."

"You didn't mean to pick it three times?" he retorted.

“…”Okay, you’re right, I can’t explain it anymore.

"How about this, I'll teach you how to completely hide your atavistic feathers? Can we just put this matter behind us?" Qiu Ci suggested.

"Really?!" Ban Mu's eyes lit up, but he still looked at her with doubt.

"Absolutely true!"

"You would be so kind?"

"Then what do you want? I'll let you take it back?"

"You think beautiful!"

"..."
