A quiet courtyard in the inn.
No matter what the outside world spread, Xie Jiuniang remained as steady as an old dog, and her injuries had almost recovered.
A sword and a child were still sorting out the harvest next to them.
When she saw that even the viewing flowers were plucked, Xie Jiuniang couldn't help but twitch her lips.
How many layers of soil have been scraped off
"Dog master, there are so many things. Do you really not want them?" The sword spirit felt that the recent master was too generous, which made him feel a little unreal. "Are you holding back a big move?"
"Move." The little fat kid laughed.
Xie Jiuniang said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys keep it first, I'll ask you for it later if I need it."
Yijian and Yiwa believed it to be true.
Xie Jiuniang stood up, tidied her appearance, and performed a few purification spells on herself.
The sword spirit quickly put away the things and asked anxiously: "Are you going out?"
"Oh, prepare to go back to the sect."
"What are you going back to the sect for? Aren't you going to continue to do the next job? This matter cannot be delayed. If we delay any longer, others will be prepared. We must strike while the iron is hot and deal with the remaining three families."
Yes, just three.
The Gongsun family is no longer included in the Sword Spirit's plundering list.
Because the sword spirit knew that the good things of the Gongsun family had long fallen into the hands of the dog owner. Although the resources of the other three people had been robbed, their foundation was still there.
Xie Jiuniang said indifferently: "It is precisely because we need to deal with them quickly that we have to go back to the sect to borrow the passage."
By using the sect's teleportation array, the time spent on the road can be shortened to the greatest extent possible.
The border should not have received the news of what happened to the Lin and Mo families for the time being, but the spies of the other families who stayed in the Eastern Region must have known about it and might be passing the news back to their families.
For important news.
There are usually special transmission methods.
According to Xie Jiuniang's idea, the remaining families should have received the news long ago and are probably thinking of ways to deal with it. If she attacks, they will be caught off guard.
It is unheard of that a Nascent Soul could kill a Divine Being above its level.
What is horrifying is the destruction of two families.
Outsiders are guessing who the real murderer is, but as the enemy force, they must know better than anyone else.
…
Three days later.
Tianxu Sect.
When Xie Jiuniang and others returned to the sect, it was already dark.
Xuanqing and Xuanye returned to the sect's secret place first, and only Xie Jiuniang went to the main peak to meet Chaoruo alone.
As the saying goes, one feels timid when one is close to home.
Xie Jiuniang didn't know how this felt, but when she stood in front of the main hall, she retreated for a moment. She wanted to see Chao Ruo but didn't dare to.
Even though it happened ten years ago.
Everything that happened that day is still vivid in my mind.
Not mentioning it does not mean forgetting it, but not being able to touch it.
"Are you standing outside and growing grass? Come in quickly." Chao Ruo's gentle voice came from the hall.
If you don't wake her up, her inner demons will come out.
He felt a little tired when he smelled the faint lotus fragrance in the air.
Xie Jiuniang thought she was just dazed, so she straightened her back and walked into the hall.
The hall was brightly lit, as bright as day.
It seemed that Chao Ruo was the only person sitting inside. He still looked the same as he had ten years ago, just as Xie Jiuniang remembered him. Even his expression had not changed much. When she came forward, he set up a spiritual barrier.
"Please sit down." Chao Ruo poured a cup of spiritual tea and pushed it to the seat opposite him.
Xie Jiuniang did not sit down.
"Junior sister, I don't blame you."
Suddenly, in the silent hall, a baby voice abruptly rang out.
Xie Jiuniang was slightly startled and looked up to find the source of the sound.
As a result, a child of four or five years old appeared behind Chao Ruo. What shocked Xie Jiuniang the most was not the little boy, but the fact that the child was a replica of the second senior brother Rao Yang.
The little face was tense.
Pretending to be cool and aloof, like a little adult.
"Is this Second Senior Brother's child?!" Xie Jiuniang blurted out, "No, Second Senior Brother has been in trouble for ten years, it's impossible for him to have a four-year-old—"
Chao Ruo tried to hold back his laughter by drinking tea, and only by drinking the tea did he stop himself from laughing out loud.
The little boy was angry, "I am your second brother."
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Chao Ruo couldn't help laughing out loud after all.
This made the little boy's face darker. "Master, if you laugh again, I won't take you as my master. We haven't held the apprenticeship banquet yet."
"Evil disciple, do you dare?"
Chao Ruo seemed angry, but the smile in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Xie Jiuniang was in a daze.
At the same time, there was a sword and a child, who were also stunned.
The little fat kid slipped out and hugged Chao Ruo's thighs, "Ruoruo, do you have another child?"
"The little kid is back?" Chao Ruo lifted the little fat kid up and let him sit on her lap. "Are you happy after this trip out?"
"happy."
The little fat baby smiled foolishly.
The sword spirit was also surprised by the silly little friend. He didn't expect that he and the sect master had such a good relationship.
However, Xie Jiuniang's attention was always on the child version of Rao Yang, and it didn't take long for her to learn the truth.
The current Rao Yang can be said to have been reincarnated with his memories. He was born in a small family a few years ago. He seized the opportunity and went to the stronghold of Tianxu Sect in the city and asked someone to send a letter back to Tianxu Sect to Chao Ruo.
After Chao Ruo received the letter, he personally went to bring him back to the sect.
Rao Yang didn't know what happened to the other disciples, but he had the memory since he was born.
Without needing Chao Ruo to say anything, Xie Jiuniang moved in front of Rao Yang, her eyes red but she said with a smile: "Brother, it's great that you're back."
"Can't bear to leave me?"
"Of course, I thought..." I would never see him again in this life.
Xie Jiuniang was crying and laughing.
It makes people feel particularly sad.
Rao Yang didn't know what to say for a moment, and was a little at a loss. He could only try hard to raise his little hand and touch her head like an older brother.
Originally Chao Ruo felt heavy-hearted when he thought of his junior brother, but when he saw his second disciple trying hard to comfort his little nephew, he couldn't help laughing. When Rao Yang noticed it, he turned around and glared at him angrily.
"Hahaha… "
Finally, he couldn't help but laughed.
This situation made Xie Jiuniang's sadness fade away a lot. "Uncle, what resources does Second Senior Brother need? Just take what I have here."
"He is still young, and his spiritual roots have not yet grown. He needs to take a medicinal bath to strengthen his body and replenish his energy. He can't use any good things for the time being. However, I have checked with my spiritual sense, and his aptitude in this life is better than before. He has a single thunder spiritual root." Chao Ruo just wanted to say that his second disciple had good luck. Not only did he survive a desperate situation, but he also turned a disaster into a blessing.
If nothing unexpected happens this time, cultivating to the state of spiritual transformation won't be a problem.
Even if Rao Yang couldn't use them, Xie Jiuniang still gave him a lot of things, including the list of opportunities.
Rao Yang originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at the list in his hand, he had no choice but to accept it with tears in his eyes.
Chao Ruo: “…”
