Since her promotion, the girl has been living with Lan Xiu. The two are like teacher and friend. However, Lan Xiu is following Zhi Xinghan, and Zhi Xinghan's team is now directly under the City Lord's Mansion of Lanxi City. So Lan Xiu was also transferred to the City Lord's Mansion. Although they are both from the Cultivation Mansion, Lan Xiu is of a higher rank.
A simple four-dish meal and soup were laid out on the table. Lan Xiu and the girl sat together at the table, put their hands together to thank heaven and earth, and performed the sacrificial offering. After that, the girl picked up her chopsticks and began to eat noisily.
Lan Xiu couldn't eat as fast as her, and seeing her like this, he smiled helplessly.
"I heard you offended Lord Hai, who is in charge of tokens in the cultivation palace, today?"
The girl stopped smacking her lips and paused slightly, then said, "I didn't offend him."
"He asked you for help, and you refused?"
"Ah."
Why did you refuse?
"Because I gave up my points, and the rules of the Cultivation Hall don't allow it," the girl said, blinking her big eyes.
Lan Xiu sighed helplessly. This child was as stubborn as ever.
"Boss, did I do something wrong?"
"...No, you didn't do anything wrong, eat up."
What could she do? The girl had already brought up the rules of the Cultivation Hall. She herself was a member of the Cultivation Hall, so she couldn't very well object, could she?
That's what they say, but rules are rules, and if a young girl is so stubborn, she might have a difficult time in the cultivation academy in the future.
When she was there, she could still provide protection, but now that she has been transferred, although they are still in the same city, their functions are different, and there are many things she can no longer remind the girl of.
"Ugh......"
She sighed helplessly.
Unconsciously, she recalled the murder case of the fox tribe ten years ago. Zhi Xinghan had told her that Hua Yanshu denied that she committed those murders when she was on the run. She said that the demonic blood pools she built were in preparation for the fox tribe to surrender to the demonic sect after the righteous path lost the final battle. She herself did not practice the demonic sect's killing moves.
As time goes by, it becomes difficult to judge right and wrong. Often, the truth is simply lost in the long river of time.
"It seems like your grandmother's death anniversary is coming up soon. Shouldn't you go back to the fox tribe?"
"Yes, we have to leave tomorrow."
"Did you take leave?"
"It's been approved by the Cultivation Bureau."
"Then you should get a good rest tonight, and make sure you pack your luggage."
"Yes, boss."
The two chatted as usual when suddenly Lan Xiu said, "By the way, your origami cranes have arrived. I've put them on the table for you."
"it is good!"
The girl responded, and her eyes brightened noticeably.
Night fell, the silver moon hung high, and the candlelight flickered in the girl's eyes. She sat on a wooden chair by the window, gently touching the origami cranes on the table.
Seemingly sensing the girl's presence, the origami crane hopped and then transformed into a letter.
This is Yang Pingsheng's reply.
The girl read it very slowly, as if afraid of missing something, reading it word by word until the very end, when she reluctantly closed the letter and put it away.
Then, she took out the magic book, tore off a piece of paper, unfolded it, and began to write.
She wrote a lot.
She wrote about the theft she dealt with today, the invitations people extended to her, and the inexplicable behavior of the new official who arrived today.
She writes down everything, down to the smallest detail.
The thief tried to escape from the rooftop, so I led a team to block him at a higher building. However, he was afraid of heights and couldn't climb down. In the end, our people had to carry him down.
That person invited me to her house for dinner again, but her food was terrible, so I declined.
The operas performed in Peking Opera are not pleasant to listen to at all; they're too noisy. I don't like them.
[Sister Lanxiu asked me if I had a conflict with the new Hai Daren. I don't know why she would ask that. We get along really well. It's so strange.]
................
...........
In the end, only the last two lines remained.
She was reluctant to leave, wondering what to write in the last two sentences.
She wrote the first sentence: "Tomorrow is my grandmother's death anniversary, I need to go back to the fox tribe."
For the last sentence, she looked at the silvery moon in the sky and wrote:
The moon is beautiful tonight.
The soft moonlight spilled onto the paper.
There is a shadow.
But even the shadows couldn't hide the smile on the girl's face.
-------------
Ten years have changed more than just the girl.
On a forest path outside the outer sect of the Kongling Sect, Li Chumo and his men surrounded a beastman servant.
Like Li Chumo, she had a gray tail and ears. The difference was that half of her tail had been cut off, and the remaining half had some white in the middle, which looked like silver spots from a distance.
Li Chumo's entourage pinned her to the ground and snatched her broom. Because she was mute, she could only make "ah ah" sounds.
Ten years have passed, and Li Chumo's appearance has changed dramatically. Now, she looks like a fairy from the moon palace, pure and ethereal. Her long purple hair flows down her back like a waterfall, shimmering with a faint luster, as if each strand contains the essence of heaven and earth. Her face is exquisitely beautiful, her skin is fair and delicate, and she has a faint purple glow, like moonlight shining on a snow-capped mountain, both serene and sacred.
However, this beautiful woman squatted down in front of a mute female disciple who was doing menial tasks, pointing at the other's face with her slender fingers, and asked with amusement, "You're just an outer disciple, always hanging around in front of my master for no reason. Are you trying to use your pitiful appearance to arouse his sympathy?"
The mute girl was in a hurry, tears welling up in her eyes. She kept trying to say something, but her attendants held her down tightly.
“My master is kind-hearted. He happened to pass by the outer square once and saw you sweeping there. He felt sorry for you and gave you some favors. But why do you keep appearing in front of him?
She suddenly grabbed the mute girl by the neck, her beautiful eyes narrowing, revealing endless malice.
"You think you can win the favor of an immortal like this? You lowly beast, you go to great lengths to play the pitiful role just to gain sympathy."
"Ah!"
The mute girl was no match for Li Chumo; she struggled painfully, her voice growing weaker.
The henchman beside him kept adding fuel to the fire: "Boss, it's her. I'm absolutely sure I didn't see wrong. She was waiting there on purpose. Saying she was looking for a broom was just an excuse."
One of the henchmen, who was holding down the fort, also said, "Yeah, boss, this guy has been picking flowers to give as gifts lately, most likely for your master."
"is it?"
Li Chumo sneered and looked at the mute girl's face, saying, "Then she can die."
"Anyway, if I kill you, the worst that can happen is that my master will put me in solitary confinement."
"what!!"
The mute girl thrashed about in agony, on the verge of death, when at that critical moment, a voice rang out.
"Stop it!"
It was the school song, Yun. She stood at the entrance of the path, looking at the scene before her, trembling with anger.
"Li Chumo, what are you doing?!"
Chapter 426 The Turning Point is the Confession
"It's Senior Sister Xiaoyun."
Li Chumo smiled indifferently and released the person.
She stood up, her beautiful eyes only briefly glancing at the school song cloud before moving on.
“The people who uphold justice have arrived, let’s go.”
Ten years have passed, and she still doesn't get along with the school song Yun.
As she turned to pass, Xiaoge Yun grabbed her hand and looked at her coldly.
Li Chumo turned to look at her, putting on an innocent expression.
"Don't go too far," School Song Cloud said coldly. "If I hadn't come today, would you really have started a killing spree?"
"That's not true," Li Chumo replied with a smile. "I respect the sect's rules very much."
"I'll be watching you."
"Go ahead," Li Chu said indifferently. "So, can you let go of me now? You're hurting me."
The school song cloud released her hand, and Li Chumo glanced at her with his smiling but cold eyes before walking past her.
Back then, and now.
Once the feud between the two was formed, it could never be resolved.
-------------
The scenery on the mountain peak was always beautiful. A cool breeze blew by, and Yang Pingsheng sat leaning against a big tree, feeling somewhat drowsy.
His cultivation as an immortal granted him extremely strong perception. He could sense the clouds rolling in the sky, the grass swaying in the wind, and the streams flowing by. His inspiration traveled to distant places, trying to sense something.
Today, the system has transformed into a golden leopard, lazily lying beside Yang Pingsheng.
"Pingsheng, are you thinking about the fact that the origami crane is now in that child's hands?" it asked, yawning.
"Ah."
Yang Pingsheng hummed in agreement, his tone unwavering, and readily admitted that exchanging letters with the girl over the past ten years had been one of his rare pleasures.
"Anyway, it won't affect the plan," he added.
Both the man and the leopard lay there lazily. It has to be said that the Kongling Sect is indeed a very suitable place to live and retire. The system has been with Yang Pingsheng for ten years, and the two of them have become much lazier together.
"That's wonderful. I wish it could stay like this forever." Even the system sighed. "Unfortunately, the plan is about to be implemented."
After a decade of silence, the Heavenly Dao's plan is about to unfold once again.
