After arriving at Leyou Mountain, Jiang Yuebai first went to Qingxi Town at the foot of the mountain to buy some things. She still kept a little bit of the silver she had exchanged from Cai Ren before.
Li Jiuchuan followed her and saw that she bought a set of pots, pans, rice, flour, seasonings, and even tables, chairs, benches, and a tea stove and tea sets.
There were also bamboo mats and bedding. If you didn't know, you would think she was going to settle down somewhere. Li Jiuchuan didn't understand why she bought these things. There was no need for these things in the Tianyan Sect.
"Master, do you want some candied haws?"
Li Jiuchuan: … …
"Oh, no, then old man, give me ten skewers."
Jiang Yuebai paid quickly, walked around the streets, and bought a lot of snacks, which he put in the storage bag around his waist.
Finally, Jiang Yuebai went to Tao’s blacksmith shop and bought a boning knife and a hatchet.
The Tao family blacksmith shop was doing very good business, with neighbors coming here to make farm tools. Jiang Yuebai saw Tao Fengnian's younger brother, now Old Master Tao, sitting in a recliner behind the blacksmith shop, enjoying his retirement.
There was a wet nurse next to the old man, holding a baby in a cradle, who should be the newborn Tao Nian.
This time, if her grandfather Tao Fengnian could successfully build his foundation and cultivate the golden elixir, perhaps she wouldn't have to guide Tao Nian into the Tao. However, she would still leave the same things as in her previous life in the mountains, and try not to change Tao Nian's destiny of becoming an immortal.
When preparing to leave, Jiang Yuebai saw another acquaintance at the entrance of the village, Xu Ying, who was protected by the cat demon Danggui and was killed by her husband to prove her truth.
There was no sign of Danggui beside her at this time, so she probably hadn't met him yet.
Xu Ying was carrying a basket of wild vegetables, looking tired, and walked slowly across the arch bridge.
Li Jiuchuan had been following Jiang Yuebai, and noticed that Jiang Yuebai was staring at the woman in a daze, so he asked, "Is that person also someone from your previous life?"
Jiang Yuebai shook his head. "Not really, Master. If it was an insignificant mortal, he would have died. But now that you know about this in advance and have the ability to stop it, will you stop it?"
If according to what Mayfly said, her later fate should not have existed, then Xu Ying being killed by her husband as a proof of truth was something that was destined to happen, and it was also the end of Xu Ying's fate.
Perhaps in her previous life, she did those things that affected the fate of mortals, and Heaven threatened her with thunder every time, just because she should not exist and she should not interfere with mortals.
Cultivators are different. They go against the will of heaven and defy destiny. Even if they are not affected by her, they will be affected by other things.
Li Jiuchuan glanced at Xu Ying and could see that she was a miserable person.
He considered it for a moment and said, "Actually, this is not a question of whether or not it should be done, nor is it a question of whether or not it is worth it. Instead, you should ask yourself, do you want to do it?"
Li Jiuchuan didn't say much. A person with memories of his past life should understand it immediately.
Jiang Yuebai thought about it for a moment. She saved Xu Ying and Danggui because she wanted to do so. She didn't consider whether she should do so or whether it was worth it.
This is her nature as Jiang Yuebai, and this nature should not change because of any concerns.
She wants the two worlds to revolve around her. No matter what happens in the two worlds, she will be the only unchanging Jiang Yuebai in the two worlds!
After figuring it out, Jiang Yuebai felt relieved and strode towards Xu Ying.
"Excuse me, is your aunt Xu Ying?"
Xu Ying was stopped by Jiang Yuebai and nodded with a puzzled look on her face.
Jiang Yuebai bowed and turned back to glance at his master. Xu Ying also looked over there.
Li Jiuchuan didn't know what bad thing Jiang Yuebai was doing again, and turned his head away uncomfortably.
"Aunt, I am a disciple of Baiyang Sect. Senior Brother Qi Yusheng asked me to bring you a message. He has now entered the immortal gate. There is a difference between immortals and mortals. His earthly ties should be over. So Senior Brother wants you to return to your parents' home and marry someone else. You don't have to miss him or wait for him anymore."
Hearing this, Xu Ying's face turned pale and she staggered back, unable to believe it.
Jiang Yuebai didn't say anything else. He stuffed the remaining ten taels of silver into Xu Ying's pocket and turned to leave.
As for Angelica...
Go back and look for him in the mountains, capture him and bring him to Tianyan Sect, and throw him to Qionglin Mountain Lord.
"Let's go, Master. Let's go to the Lost Fairy Ridge in Leyou Mountain. If you see a cat demon on the way, remember to tell me."
The master and the disciple set out again. Li Jiuchuan observed Jiang Yuebai along the way and wondered why Jiang Yuebai knew so much about him and Tianyan Sect, and why he seemed to know the results of some things in advance...
Li Jiuchuan had a bold idea. Could it be that she came back from the future to the past, which was the present where he was, so she could know so many things in advance
Did she take over the body of the mortal couple's daughter? Or was she reincarnated directly? Judging from her deep affection for the mortal couple, she seems to be a good child.
If so...
She said that she was his father in her previous life, so wouldn’t that mean that she would be…
Li Jiuchuan's head buzzed and he quickly stopped this inappropriate thought.
Although there is still some unresolved knot between him and Zhao Fuyi, they have already completely let go of the attraction they had at first sight, so how could there be any follow-up
Zhao Fuyi was also devoted to Taoism and had never had any romantic relationship with anyone.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The more Li Jiuchuan thought about it, the more headache he felt. His face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. Seeing Jiang Yuebai still humming a little tune and eating candied haws beside him heartlessly, he wanted to pry open this girl's mouth and make her explain everything to him.
But when he thought of the oath she had sworn, the anger in his heart died down. The child had already shown her loyalty in this way, and it would be too much to force her to reveal her secret.
According to his previous memory, Jiang Yuebai took Li Jiuchuan to the Mixian Ridge, found the underground cave, swam across the dark river, and arrived at the cave where Wuweishanren had retreated after forming the elixir.
The stone pillar with the Five Elements Return to Truth inscribed on it was still there, the seal on the wall had not been moved, and the tiger demon that was originally guarding here had not appeared yet. Jiang Yuebai occupied this place with peace of mind.
"Master, don't waste your time. You are not very good at breaking the formation. Besides, if you break it forcefully, it will damage the interior of the cave. Let's follow the normal route and wait until I have mastered all five chapters of the Five Elements Return to Truth before entering."
Li Jiuchuan stood in front of the stone wall deep in the cave, squinting and looking at Jiang Yuebai with a scrutinizing look. She wanted to say that he was not as good as her mother in breaking the formation
Li Jiuchuan held his forehead, feeling a headache!
What if I take her back and see Zhao Fuyi
Will she throw herself at him crying
Jiang Yuebai had no idea how much her master had imagined, and there was nothing she could do about it. She knew that her master did not have such a deep relationship with her, and he only believed in her because of her oath.
So she had to wait until her master and her developed a true master-disciple relationship, and then tell him the truth little by little. It was not possible now.
Jiang Yuebai took out the things he had bought before and arranged them one by one, decorating the cave extremely comfortably. He also placed a tea table and tea sets for Li Jiuchuan by the pond, and also provided a futon and incense burner.
After finishing, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Master, you are already in the Golden Core Stage. It will be bad for your health if you change to other techniques. So I will practice this technique, but I don't know how strong my foundation is now and how long it will take to complete the practice."
"So, please stay here with me, lest I get snatched away by the tiger demon outside. By the way, in addition to protecting me, you also need to help me hunt and cook every day. I am still growing, so I need a balanced diet with a combination of meat and vegetables. It is not good to always take fasting pills."
Li Jiuchuan was speechless. Was he treating him like both a father and a mother? He was so confident and righteous. He was really here to collect debts!
Li Jiuchuan was about to protest that he didn't know how to cook, but when he walked over and saw the neatly arranged tea table and tea sets by the pond, as well as a branch of mountain peach blossoms in the vase, he was suddenly unable to say no.
Alas... It’s the debt from the previous life, okay!
Li Jiuchuan thought that was the end of it, but he didn't know that in the days that followed, Jiang Yuebai spent all his time practicing except for eating and sleeping, and his self-discipline and diligence were outrageous.
Li Jiuchuan was too embarrassed to drink tea, and the time he spent reading increased every day. However, besides being shocked, he felt that the ruthlessness of this girl in her training was exactly the same as that of Zhao Fuyi who was in seclusion practicing formations!
Li Jiuchuan covered his face, feeling extremely heavy.
