The handsome male cultivator who was with Mo Baichun stood up and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
Mo Baichun coughed to hide his shock, "An old friend, I was a little surprised to meet him suddenly."
After saying that, he immediately sent a message to Jiang Yuebai, "This is the Xiong Clan's Couple Ceremony. If you fight me, neither of us will be happy."
Jiang Yuebai snorted in his heart and said in a voice transmission, "Thank goodness you still remember me. Don't worry, as long as you compensate me for the losses I suffered that year, I will let this go."
She was young and ignorant back then, and she saved the seriously injured Mo Baichun from being chased in Chaotian Territory out of gratitude for Mo Baichun's instruction in the art of puppetry when she was young. However, this guy deceived her and sold her to the poison doctor Xue Liuzhi in order to heal his own injuries.
Although Mo Baichun didn't kill her, left her a chance to live, and gave her the Jianxiao Puppet and the secret technique of silk control as a reward, it was still too much, making her feel like all her true feelings had been wasted.
From then on, she basically stopped meddling in other people's business. Mo Xinhei really taught her a lesson.
Mo Baichun glanced at the handsome male cultivator next to him and decisively sent a message.
"make a deal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuebai's droopy face immediately brightened up, and he walked over with a friendly and intimate expression.
"Senior Sister Mo, I miss you so much!"
Jiang Yuebai held Mo Baichun's arm, raised his eyebrows, and looked like he was telling him not to run away.
The handsome male cultivator smiled upon seeing this, his smile was beautiful and as warm as a spring breeze.
"So you are Elder Wu Chen's junior sister. I am Zhuge Ziqian, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."
Jiang Yuebai held Mo Baichun's arm tightly and replied with a smile, "My Taoist name is Wangshu. I'm sorry for the rudeness."
Mo Baichun tried to pull his arm free, but he couldn't get it free, so he could only use his other hand to tuck his hair behind his ear.
"Junior Brother Ziqian, I want to reminisce with Junior Sister Wangshu, please..."
"I see. I was not tactful enough. Please come in."
Zhuge Zigan bowed and said goodbye, then left quickly, leaving the pavilion to Jiang Yuebai and Mo Baichun.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your eyes are so sexy."
Being teased by Jiang Yuebai, Mo Baichun pulled back her hand abruptly, set up a soundproof barrier and said, "What's the matter? I've been practicing hard for nearly two hundred years, can't I just find a man to play with? You're still too picky when your hair isn't fully grown!"
Mo Baichun's true colors were revealed. He lifted up his clothes and sat down, looking a little strangely unhappy, and kept staring at Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai snorted and laughed, looking at her reshaped legs, "You're playing tricks on the Zhuge family, aren't you afraid that they'll break your legs again?"
"It's normal for cultivators to break up and get back together. How can you, a young girl, understand my happiness?"
Jiang Yuebai's eyelids drooped, "Mo Baichun, how about we have a fight now? If you can beat me, don't just call me sister, I'll even call you my ancestor. If you don't dare, stop acting like an elder."
Mo Baichun looked at Jiang Yuebai. He had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage before he was even a hundred years old. He was definitely a tough guy.
She just regretted not using some tricks to get this girl under her seat, and she felt a little... inexplicably unhappy.
Whenever she thought of the yellow-haired girl who had unlocked the magic lock in front of her stall and got a tattered flying boat with a smile on her face, she found it incredible.
At that time, Jiang Yuebai was just a rookie in Qi training, but she was already a Golden Core Master.
Now she finally advanced to the early stage of Nascent Soul, but this girl...
Mo Baichun's heart can't take it anymore, he needs to slow down!
She wiped her face and patted her side, "Alright, alright, sit down. I'll apologize to you. Let's talk about how you ended up in the upper realm first."
Jiang Yuebai didn't care too much, he sat down and said, "I came here with my family's Grand Elder, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Baichun muttered, "I had a little adventure when I was forming my infant, which was also an accident, but it was good. The puppetry of the Earth Spirit Realm has reached its limit, and there is nothing more to do. The Zhuge family can rank among the top three in the puppetry of the entire upper realm, so I just made myself familiar with them and stayed as a guest elder."
Mo Baichun was so angry that he laughed, "Do you think the guest elder contract I signed with Zhuge family is just for show? I can't teach you. If you want to learn, pay me!"
"Oh, after paying, the guest elder contract becomes a mere decoration? You really haven't changed at all. Don't forget that you owe me now, pay me back!"
Jiang Yuebai extended his hand. Mo Baichun felt guilty, so he pressed down Jiang Yuebai's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be like this, my good junior sister. You see, it is fate that we can meet in the upper realm. Today is also the day of the Xiong family's big wedding. Let's not talk about these hurtful things."
"Do you want to default on your debt?" Jiang Yuebai narrowed his eyes.
"How can I refuse to pay? You know, all the puppeteers are very poor. I have no background, and I have saved up a lot of money to buy materials to upgrade my natal puppet. I can't give you the spirit stones you want."
"But have you switched to puppetry now? Why do you want me to teach you everything I learned from Zhuge?"
Jiang Yuebai said bluntly, "It's the Jianxiao Puppet you gave me. I've been using it and it's working well for me, so I wanted to upgrade it."
Mo Baichun understood, "That Jian Xiao puppet is indeed the best puppet I can make in the Jindan stage. But if you want to improve it, I can help you. In this way, we can settle our grudges. Is that okay with you?"
"No, I want to change it myself." Jiang Yuebai flatly refused.
Mo Baichun scratched his head. "So you must learn Zhuge's puppetry skills? As a guest elder, I can't get my hands on this thing. Unless I am willing to swear eternal loyalty to the Zhuge family, or exchange it for something else very valuable, you are making it difficult for me."
Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and said, "Then you can introduce me to the Zhuge clan as a guest elder."
Mo Baichun leaned back and looked at Jiang Yuebai, "You? With your half-baked level, I'm afraid you can't even pass Zhuge's puppet assessment."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Mo Baichun nodded helplessly, "Okay, you can join the Zhuge family as a guest elder, but I have to make it clear to you that you must first pass their assessment to be eligible, and then the contract starts at fifty years, just like working in a shop, you have to help them when they need you."
"Of course, Zhuge Clan won't force anyone to do anything. They treat us very well and are not too wary of guest elders. As long as it's not a core skill or secret technique, you can learn it if you contribute enough. I only stayed because of Zhuge Clan's character."
Jiang Yuebai thought about it and felt that fifty years was not a long time for her. It didn’t matter where she practiced.
Even someone as vicious as Mo Xinhei thinks that Zhuge has good character, so he must not be much worse. If there is anything in the future, they can definitely discuss it. She can also find a way to exchange her spiritual and mental skills with Zhuge.
"OK."
Hearing this, Mo Baichun had no choice but to do as she wished. He took out a bunch of jade slips and picture albums from his storage bracelet and threw them into Jiang Yuebai's hands.
"In that case, I'll give you three days to read and memorize all of this. After the Xiong Clan's marriage ceremony is over, I'll introduce you to the Zhuge Clan. As for how the assessment will proceed, that's not something I can decide."
Jiang Yuebai smiled confidently, "Don't worry, endorsements and assessments are what I'm best at!"
Mo Baichun did not comment. The basic things she taught Jiang Yuebai completely overturned the puppetry skills she had learned in the lower world. It was like she had to start from scratch.
At first, she had no one to teach her and it took her half a year to figure it out. It was precisely because of her extraordinary talent that she defeated many competitors and became a guest elder of the Zhuge family.
Now we only give this girl three days, so that she will give up when she encounters difficulties and know that the art of puppetry is not something that everyone can learn!
The sound of drums and music rang out, and the sky exploded with the light and shadow of a phoenix and the Xiong family's marriage ceremony officially began.
Mo Baichun stood up and looked at the twin towers, but Jiang Yuebai no longer had any interest in watching the ceremony. He picked up the pile of things and started looking through them.
Seeing this, Mo Baichun shook his head and sighed.
However, she knew nothing about Jiang Yuebai's learning ability!
"By the way, since Zhuge's family requires an assessment before you can join, it has nothing to do with you. You still have to compensate me!"
Mo Baichun: … …
Today is the fourth update. I can’t write anymore. See you tomorrow~
