After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

She never used to portray herself as a cold-faced beauty, aloof and arrogant. Now, for her own life and the protection of a powerful figure, she shamelessly fawns over him.

She can distinguish when to flatter and who to fawn over.

It's a bit cowardly, but as long as I can stay alive, that's fine. If I'm dead, then it's not about pride anymore, it's just a handful of dust.

"Ask away." The fox was always lenient with its followers.

"As your follower, even though you cannot do anything for me, it is only right that you protect me, isn't it?"

"Of course, as long as you are loyal to me, offer your faith to me, and help me find food, I will protect you."

Lin Yan seized on the key point: "So what kind of food do you eat?"

"As a believer of my covenant, you are my messenger, and you will sense when you encounter my food."

"Please tell me directly so I can be mentally prepared," Lin Yan said respectfully.

The black fox's ears twitched, seemingly a little impatient. "You have a lot of questions?"

"I'm sorry, this is my first time becoming a believer, please be understanding."

"..."

She also wanted to correct its habit of using "吾" in its speech, but she didn't dare to bring it up, fearing it would accuse her of being disrespectful and rebellious.

She seemed to enjoy this way of speaking, mentioning that being judged as lacking sufficient faith and being punished would be undesirable.

I don't seem to have any faith in it myself. Who would worship a fox for no reason?
Tangled ah!
"You have a problem with the way I speak?"

"!!!" Shock! How did it know? Could it be that after the contract was made, it could hear her inner thoughts?
Then it will know everything I think and what I have on my mind, and I won't have any secrets from it.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

"Does Your Excellency know what I am thinking?"

The fox didn't hide anything: "Of course not, I only know the parts about me."

This is also to sense whether believers are loyal enough to them and whether they will betray them.

"Oh, so what should I do now?"

"Just take me out of the secret realm."

I noticed that Black Fox no longer refers to himself as "I," which sounds much better.

The black fox transformed into a streak of light and entered the mark, but its voice echoed in her ear. "I need to hibernate now. Wake me up when you find food."

It had been asleep for too long, and when it awoke, it found itself in a secret realm, restricted by the Great Dao and unable to leave directly.

The only food in the secret realm is gone, so we can only endure our hunger.

Unlike cultivators who can abstain from food after fasting and rely on absorbing spiritual energy to provide their bodies with energy, it needs to eat to maintain its vitality.

Only after the black fox fell completely silent did she enter her sea of ​​consciousness to look at the inner demon. It was terrified and cried like a child.

"Sigh..." she sighed helplessly. "What's the use of crying? If we were strong, this wouldn't have happened."

Upon hearing this, the inner demon switched to sobbing: "Master, were you really going to sacrifice me just now?"

"How could that be? I was just stopping it from eating you! You're my prized helper; how could I live without you?"

"Am I that important to my owner?" it asked, its voice filled with emotion.

If inner demons could materialize now, I'd definitely be moved to tears.

"That's right, you are very important to me! So you must work hard in your cultivation and not slack off. Only by becoming strong can you be safe."

"I...I know."

She nodded, quite pleased. "Crying won't solve anything, so stop crying and start cultivating."

"I understand." The inner demon stopped crying and devoted itself to cultivation.

Having appeased her inner demons, her consciousness emerged from her sea of ​​consciousness. She re-established the array and barrier, intending to meditate and cultivate here until the secret realm opened for her to leave.

This is a public secret realm that opens periodically. Previously, it served as the location for the Grand Immortal Sect Competition's secret realm trials.

She was teleported to her hiding place in the secret realm.

Perhaps it was because the formation she left here was not removed, and when the substitute doll was triggered, the secret passage opened just in time, and she was teleported here by following that faint connection.

After spending half a month in the secret realm, the passage was finally reopened.

She chose one of the exits and went directly to the territory of the Miaofa Sect.

A public secret realm cannot possibly have only one entrance; there should be entrances in the territory of a major sect to facilitate disciples entering for trials.

As soon as she left the secret realm, she felt the communication jade disc in her storage bag vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Li Qiu and her senior sister.

She quickly let them know she was safe and explained that she was already within the territory of the Miaofa Sect.

She had considered the consequences when she stabbed Mo Yu.

Firstly, the Miaofa Sect was justified in injuring someone "accidentally" during the sparring match; secondly, how could the elders of the Mo family shamelessly attack a junior on the sparring stage in front of everyone?
However, she underestimated Elder Mo's shamelessness; he not only attacked, but he also used deadly force!

If it weren't for her life-saving gadgets, her grave would be overgrown with weeds by now.

Upon receiving news that she was safe, her senior sister urged her to return to the sect immediately, as it was not safe outside.

Li Qiu also said that Elder Rong Ce had something to discuss with her.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was going to be punished for stabbing Mo Yu?
An anonymous monk: Do you know what this is about?
She quickly asked Li Qiu on the jade disc.

Li Qiu: They'll probably teach you a lesson and then let you take the compensation from the Mo family.

Tsk? The Mo family's compensation? She was surprised and continued to ask.

An anonymous cultivator: I stabbed Mo Yu with a sword, and the Mo family even compensated me?

Li Qiu: It's normal to get injured during a sparring match. Since it was their elder who attacked a junior, they should compensate for the injury.

Li Qiu: Aren't you going to verify your Jade Disc account? Your nickname is weirdly long.

She thought her nickname "Jade Disc Account" sounded nice, and she didn't verify it so that she wouldn't be recognized when she posted comments on Jade Disc Plaza.

There's no mandatory authentication required to use the Jade Disc, and I haven't changed it since I got this nickname.

Now that Li Qiu has pointed it out, the nickname does indeed seem quite long. Twelve characters is the maximum allowed for a nickname, but it's not her limit.

An anonymous monk: We'll talk about it later.

She put away the communication jade disc and flew to the Miaofa Sect on her sword.

This place was originally the territory of the Miaofa Sect, and it wasn't far from the sect. It only took half a day to get there by flying on a sword.

Seeing that it was the time for the sect disciples to finish their classes, she hurried to find Elder Rong Ce to collect the compensation from the Mo family.

Surely the compensation from a super-powerful family like the Mo family couldn't just be a pile of junk?

Just as they arrived at the entrance of Elder Rong Ce's villa, they encountered Li Qiu opening the door and coming out.

"You've arrived so quickly? Elder Rong Ce doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Be careful what you say when you go in."

"Oh, then I'll just come again tomorrow."

The compensation items are kept with the elders, and no one can take them away, so there's no rush.
