Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

They could never imagine that a monk could lose to a mortal!

"..." Bi Leizhen still wanted to seek comfort from his family, but he felt even more sad.

His elder sister Bi Fengtang quietly left Xianfeng, found her father and explained the matter.

Elder Bi was also silent for a long time. He could already sense that he would be teased by several elders.

I can’t save my face anymore!

The eldest daughter, Bi Fengtang, asked in a low voice, "Dad, what should we do about this?"

Elder Bi shook his head. "Don't worry about it. Just let the lightning rod settle. I was too indulgent and relaxed in the past. By the way, who was that mortal?"

"My daughter just saw Junior Sister Yun and the others return. Elder Jiuwu and Elder Ning were with them, along with a strange young man. I'm afraid he's that mortal."

Bi Leizhen went out with Yun Qingying and the others. Now there is a strange young man in the returning team, who is most likely the "mortal".

Elder Bi felt slightly relieved. Since they had brought them all back to the Shenxiao Sect, they were probably going to be accepted as disciples.

He sternly emphasized, "Fengtang, spread the word and correct them. Say that your brother was beaten by the cultivators secretly trained by Elder Ning and the others, not by a mortal!"

The eldest daughter, Bi Fengtang, was a little confused. "Dad, why don't you go and tell them yourself? I want to go out and gain some experience for a while, so that others won't ask me how my brother got beaten up by a mortal."

*

The various rumors active in the Shenxiao Sect did not affect the tranquility of Zhuyun Peak.

The situation that Chu Wuji was worried about, "helping the younger generation", did not happen.

Taoist Jiuwu patted his swaying chest and promised, "Don't worry, Elder Bi and his people will be too busy to hide, as they are afraid of losing face on themselves." Then he took his beloved disciple back.

And this is indeed the case. No one came to ask for an explanation for Bi Leizhen.

After reaching Zhuyun Peak, Chu Wuji felt very peaceful and all his worries were unnecessary.

Madam Jiang was also on the Immortal Peak. Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying went to see her together and greet her.

When Mrs. Jiang saw Chu Wuji appear, she was surprised but also a little embarrassed, thinking of the time when she fed him food and water by the river, but she quickly suppressed her awkwardness.

"Wu Ji, are you going up the mountain to become my disciple this time?" The beautiful woman's tone was full of anticipation.

If this is true, they can live here together in the future, and she can experience the feeling of having both a son and a daughter by her side!

Chu Wuji didn't know how to respond. He scratched his head and smiled, "I'm not here to become your disciple. I'm just stopping by for a while. Afterwards, I need to ask Immortal Ning to take me to Jieshi City to take care of something urgent."

This made Mrs. Jiang a little confused and she frowned in confusion.

Chu Wuzhi is Madam Bai's surviving son, and Ning Xianzhi is Madam Bai's good friend. Although Madam Bai is a white snake demon, Ning Xianzhi once said that Madam Bai is a good demon who does good deeds and accumulates virtue, but has encountered misfortune and betrayal.

With recognition to this extent, Ning Xianzhi will definitely take good care of Chu Wuji. It won't delay anything if he becomes his disciple first and then goes to Jieshi City.

But Mrs. Jiang didn't want to say too much about the matter. She kept her mouth clean, didn't tell lies, and didn't act on her own. This was a rule and a virtue.

The intelligent and quiet beautiful woman smiled at the two children in front of her and said:

"I've followed Senior Ning's arrangements for these matters. Thanks to Wu Ji's reminder, Qingying and I have been getting along much more easily and happily lately~"

Although Mrs. Jiang and her daughter had no conflicts, there was rarely a happy atmosphere between the mother and daughter, and each of them was worried about her own things.

Yun Qingying heard her mother's words and said in confusion:

"What did he remind me of? When did it happen?"

"...Uh, it was the day Qingying you recognized him as your brother, in the morning at Sanquanwei."

"Not brother, but brother Chu! Brother!"

The girl seemed to be very bothered by the deception she had suffered that day.

"Okay, okay, okay~" Mrs. Jiang smiled helplessly and went along with her daughter's temper.

"So what did he suggest?"

"Let me not bring up those sad things over and over again. Just talk about them once and forget about it. The rest of the topics can be small things that we haven't talked about before, trivial matters in the family, ordinary things, and happy events."

Yun Qingying was stunned for a moment, and felt as if she suddenly understood something.

I just want to say that I feel that my mother has become more cheerful recently, and it’s not a forced cheerfulness. She will talk to me about many interesting things when she has nothing to do.

So it was Chu Wuji’s suggestion?

That's right, this guy is a chatterbox. He can talk all the way in the carriage and won't stop even when his throat is smoking. He is best at talking about boring little things.

Although it was a bit strange that Chu Wuzhi gave advice to his mother behind her back, it was indeed a good thing. The changes in Mrs. Jiang were visible to the naked eye.

Yun Qingying turned around and prepared to thank Chu Wuzhi formally, but found that this guy's attention was not on her and he didn't notice her for a long time.

"You, turn your face around and look at me." The girl pursed her lips and put on a stern face.

"......What's wrong?" Chu Wuzhi looked at Yun Qingying in confusion.

"Thank you."

After saying this, Yun Qingying stopped looking at him and went to the side to drink tea.

Chu Wuji was a little slow to react, and smiled belatedly, saying:

"I accept your thanks, but Madam Jiang and Qingying, don't take it to heart. Everyone has moments of confusion when they need guidance. I've also been given guidance recently and have figured out some things. Perhaps one day in the future, I'll need your guidance as well."

*

Chu Wuji chatted with the mother and daughter of the Yun family for a while, then moved to Ning Xianzhi's side. He still had to ask when they would leave and what their plans were.

Although Ning Xianzhi is a high-ranking elder of the Immortal Clan, her temperament is one of indifference to worldly affairs. She is somewhat similar to Yun Qingying in this respect.

But even so, this female immortal did not give Chu Wu Ji the slightest sense of alienation, not even the sense of distance that came from their lack of familiarity.

It seems that he really has a very good relationship with his godmother Bai Sujin, as she takes such good care of him.

"Please sit down. Don't be so formal in front of me." Ning Xianzhi spoke firmly, poured a cup of tea, and motioned him to sit down.

After Chu Wuji sat down, before he could ask when they could set off, he heard the female immortal speaking again.

"I've heard Qingying talk about your 'worldly wisdom'. You're indeed very thorough in handling matters. You can follow this line of thinking in other places, but not here. Just treat it as your own home.

I know a lot about Su Jin, including what happened at the White Snake Temple, so you don't have to be polite to me."

......Another "home of my own".

Chu Wuji made a simple complaint and then turned his attention to the "changes in the White Snake Temple" mentioned by the female fairy.

He remembered that his aunt had mentioned this matter. His godmother did good deeds and accumulated virtue, and the people even built a temple for her. At that time, Chu Wuji was thinking about going to that temple to wait for his godmother to appear.

How come the White Snake Temple encountered misfortune according to the fairy girl?

"Master Ning, could you please tell me about the incident you just mentioned? Is there any hidden story behind it?"

Ning Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the child's curiosity had indeed been piqued. She said:

"Indeed, there is, but it involves Buddhism, which is not what you should focus on right now. Didn't you say you were going to deal with the Jieshi City matter?"

During the short time she spent with Chu Wuji, she knew clearly how stubborn this boy was and how he would not waver once he made up his mind.

Now that Jieshi City has become his target, we cannot dissuade him, otherwise he will definitely be disgusted.

If she wanted Chu Wuji to end the affairs in Jieshi City and be willing to return to her side, she would have to use the matter of the White Snake Temple as bait in the young man's heart.

Otherwise, you won’t know where you’ve gone when you turn around.

Chu Wuji nodded, acknowledging the immortal's words, and asked, "When do we set out?"

"Don't be impatient. Tell me first about your future plans. I heard from Wu Ji that he really wants to go up the mountain to practice cultivation."

"That's not what I meant. If I had the opportunity to practice immortal magic, I would definitely want to do it. It's just that it's difficult to get started right away, and I'm in urgent need of strength..."

Ning Xianzhi understood that he wanted to wait until he had nothing to deal with so that he could concentrate on practicing Taoism without distraction.

I didn't expect that he could force himself to reach this level through physical training in such a short period of time. He is going further and further down the unconventional path.

"The Divine Sky Sect contains a collection of manuals on physical training techniques, which should greatly improve your performance in the short term."

Chu Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard Ning Xianzhi say this. He had felt that he was still a little short of the mark during their previous sparring session, but he had never expected that there was such a technique in this field!

“How can I read it?”

"These inheritances don't belong to the Divine Sky Sect. You don't need to join the Divine Sky Sect. I can show them to you in my name, but it's inappropriate to rashly lend an identity to an outsider."

Chu Wuji was just about to say, why don’t I join the Shenxiao Sect now, so that I won’t be considered an outsider!

Before he could finish his words, he heard Ning Xianzhi say:

"If you accept me as your godmother, I will take care of you for Su Jin in the future. This way, I won't be considered an outsider!"

Chapter 112: Ning Niang and Aunt are going to meet again?

Chu Wuji pondered in his mind how many times he had heard an older woman say this to him.

He subconsciously wanted to persuade Ning Xianzhi to reconsider, but remembering the teachings of the Heavenly Fox Goddess, Chu Wuji felt that he should accept this kindness.

This female immortal is a good friend of godmother Bai Sujin. She even knows about the White Snake Temple and accidentally mentioned the word Buddhism.

If something goes wrong in the future, I will inevitably have to trouble her to step in. What's the point of admitting it?

"Master Ning, I am willing to accept you as my godmother. After all, I am the one who is taking advantage...but would it be more convenient if I directly became your disciple?"

I don’t know if it was Chu Wuji’s illusion, but he seemed to see Ning Xianzhi let out a long sigh?

The beautiful and graceful female fairy was indeed relieved. She didn't expect it to be so smooth. She thought she would have to help this silly child sort out his thoughts.

"Wu Ji, please change your address first, and then I will talk to you in detail."

Chu Wuji wiped his sweat quietly. The woman he had just met for less than a day had already become his mother. He didn't complain for too long and said:

"Ning...mother?"

Ning Xianzhi could also accept this title. It was better than always calling him "Master Ning Xian", which was unpleasant and awkward!

"Wuji, you'll get used to it after a few calls. Don't be so formal with me. I've already treated you as my own child. From now on, if you feel embarrassed in front of outsiders, just call me 'Master'. In private, call me 'Mother'. I will treat you better than Bai Sujin!"

Already?

We just met today...

Chu Wuji was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of this woman he met for the first time, but perhaps it was the mutual understanding between practitioners.

She valued her friendship with the kind white snake demon very much, so naturally she transferred that feeling to Chu Wuji.

"Mother Ning, can you please tell me why you don't just let me become your disciple?"

"If you join the immortal sect, you will not be allowed to arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the mortal forces. This is a place for quiet cultivation, not a place for seeking grand ambitions and hegemony."

Chu Wuji was enlightened by these words and immediately understood the good intentions of his godmother's best friend!

The immortal forces have always been very neutral. They will help secular dynasties deal with the chaos caused by demons, but they will never take sides and support any one of them to dominate.

It is roughly what is called "not interfering in human affairs."

It is an extremely rare situation for someone like the Holy Queen Lihuo to return to secular life and inherit her son's throne halfway through her cultivation.

If Chu Wuji had joined the Shenxiao Sect first, even if he had reasons for revenge, it would still be more "sensitive" to rashly attack a city lord.

Especially since Jieshi City has a bit of an independent flavor, the city lord can even be regarded as a small king, and is not someone that the immortal disciples can touch at will, unless he provokes and offends the immortal disciples.

But if Chu Wuji only recognized Ning Xianzhi as his godmother and did not join the immortal sect, then nothing would be affected.

Killing the city lord was just revenge and a personal grudge, and it would not affect his chances of passing the civil service exam... No, it was about joining the immortal sect.

Chu Wuji admired her thoughtfulness, "I see, Ning Niang has really thought about everything for me..."

Ning Xianzhi nodded and continued, "As a master, I am both a teacher and a mother. I treat Qingying like my own daughter, and you should do the same!"

After saying that, Ning Xianzhi's figure flashed, and he took out a heavy spear and halberd, and also attached a book of martial arts "Wuji Yin Yang Jing".

Chu Wuji almost didn't react. He felt that the "new" bride disappeared for only a moment and then helped him get the gift.

"Ning Niang, what is this?"

"This spear is called Water Dragon Chant. It's an old artifact, and its blade shape changes with the warrior's energy and blood. This technique will also benefit you. It's related to physical refinement and contains many insights from predecessors."

Ning Xianzhi said a few simple words and did not explain any further, giving him time to browse first.

Chu Wuji couldn't figure out the mystery of the Water Dragon Chant for the time being, so he simply opened the "Wuji Yin Yang Jing" and took a quick look.

There are not many words in it, and it is illustrated with pictures and texts. It is not very detailed, but the highlight is that it all depends on understanding.
