Chapter 84: An Unexpected Find

Interestingly, these spirit tools and heavenly treasures were all taken from the Grand Elder’s personal vault.

Seeing this, Qin Yangjun could almost imagine how priceless the Grand Elder’s expression must have been at the time.

But Linghu’er didn’t want compensation. She wanted Yueyao to return the spirit beast to her.

In the end, Shi Huanyu accepted the spirit tools and heavenly treasures on her behalf.

As the valley lord of the spirit beasts, she knew that a spirit beast’s bond with its master was irreversible. Once bound, a spirit beast would rather die than change masters.

Now, Linghu’er was blocking Yueyao’s door every day, demanding an explanation.

Yueyao was not very good at communicating, and it didn’t help that they were in the wrong.

Since the spirit beast was subdued, she had been trapped in the manor.

This was probably the first time she had stayed in her own home for so long.

“He hasn’t even eaten, just keeps blocking the door…”

Qin Yangjun muttered and gave a helpless smile.

Thinking back to the plot in the book, this spirit beast was indeed significant to Linghu’er.

Linghu’er had raised this spirit beast since it was young. She had watched it grow up bit by bit.

Now that someone else had suddenly snatched it away, she was bound to explode.

The records even noted that Linghu’er had wiped her tears eighty-nine times. An astonishing number.

How long had she been crying?

Qin Yangjun sighed softly. A wisp of spirit flame ignited, and the records in his hand turned to ash.

Who would have thought he’d be the one to clean up this mess?

Liu Ruoqing had been taken back by her master, so naturally, she wouldn’t come to cause trouble.

But then again, he had to take some secondary responsibility.

This big cat hadn’t done anything wrong. It had been inexplicably screwed over. The adult world was just too dark.

But fortunately, Qin Yangjun had already thought of a solution.

If she lost the spirit beast, he would just give her another one.

But…

“Ah Ling, help me with one more thing…”

“Please speak, Young Master.”

After giving the orders, Ah Ling turned and left.

Qin Yangjun turned to look out the window.

“Sorry, Yu Lingyue. Looks like I’ll have to steal your opportunity again.”

“Ah-choo!”

Yu Lingyue, who was in the main hall, suddenly sneezed, startling Hua Yaoyao beside her.

“Lingyue, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Yu Lingyue was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Strictly speaking, she couldn’t get sick.

The Third Elder beside them also frowned slightly.

Yu Lingyue lowered her head in embarrassment.

“Sorry, Senior Sister, Master. I don’t know why, but the incense in the hall made my nose itch. That’s why…”

The Third Elder waved her hand.

“It’s fine. I’ll have someone change it later. Let’s get back to business. You did well in supporting the ancient city. In principle, you should rest for a while, but the Grand Competition is near. Improving your strength is the priority. Coincidentally, the sect is sending some disciples to the Biluo Valley tomorrow. You two should go along too.”

“Biluo Valley?”

Hua Yaoyao looked at her master with confusion. That place wasn’t far from the Yuqian Sect, and they even had a teleportation array set up.

But that place was just a medicinal garden. How could that improve their strength?

Go find some spirit herbs to refine pills?

The Third Elder looked at her disciple helplessly.

“Earlier, there were reports of spirit herbs being stolen from Biluo Valley. At first, we thought some disciples had sticky fingers, but after a thorough investigation, we found the problem was far more troublesome than expected.”

“A few troublesome demon beasts have come to Biluo Valley. They probably wandered over from the Huangling Great Forest, which borders the valley. But those creatures aren’t very strong. They’re about the Golden Core level, with the strongest at most at the peak of Golden Core.”

“Originally, a single steward could have handled it, but in the Fifth Elder’s opinion, this is a good opportunity for training. That’s why he thought of sending you to hunt those demon beasts.”

“Oh, I see.”

At that moment, Hua Yaoyao suddenly thought of someone.

“By the way, will Senior Brother be going?”

Without a word, the Third Elder flicked Hua Yaoyao on the forehead.

“A trivial matter like this, and you want your Senior Brother to lead? You’ve been spoiled too much.”

The Third Elder could see that her disciple was completely smitten, but she didn’t plan to interfere for now.

Hua Yaoyao covered her head.

“Not Senior Brother? Then who’s leading?”

“Your Senior Brother Jiang.”

“Him? Oh, alright.”

Hearing this, Hua Yaoyao’s face immediately fell.

She really didn’t like that guy.

Seeing this, the Third Elder helplessly sighed and didn’t say more.

She turned and left directly.

The two said in unison:

“We bid you farewell, Master.”

“We bid you farewell, Master.”

After the Third Elder left, Hua Yaoyao stared blankly in a direction.

I wonder what Senior Brother is doing now.

Meanwhile, Yu Lingyue was looking at her right hand, then slowly clenched it.

“Wait for me, Senior Brother. I will definitely catch up to you!”

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Yueyao sat in her own courtyard and glanced at a figure in a tree in the distance.

Then she turned to look at the Ice Fire and Scale Horse in the yard.

She sighed softly.

If she had known this would happen, she would never have taken care of that spirit beast.

In truth, she hadn’t intentionally subdued this spirit beast.

It was purely an accident.

Mainly because her master had told her that this spirit beast was rarer than others, and asked her to observe it up close while caring for it to broaden her knowledge.

But she didn’t expect that after only half a day of looking after it for Linghu’er, the spirit beast would wake up.

After it woke up, it seemed to think that she had saved it, and then it bonded with her on its own.

In truth, the one who had been caring for the spirit beast all along was Linghu’er.

But the bond had already become a fact.

When Linghu’er returned, she immediately believed that Yueyao had taken advantage of her absence.

She didn’t even give her time to explain and attacked directly.

After a chaotic scene, her master told her to return to this manor.

Not long after, Linghu’er came.

She didn’t force her way in, but blocked the entrance.

Now, she didn’t know how to face Linghu’er.

She only hoped that her master would resolve this matter soon.

Thinking this, Yueyao sighed again.

“What are you doing…”

At that moment, a voice suddenly reached Yueyao’s ears. She jolted and looked up toward the direction outside the manor.

She confirmed it was Linghu’er’s voice.

So she closed her eyes and extended her spiritual sense.

She saw a familiar figure appear not far from the tree where Linghu’er was.

“Senior Brother?”

She didn’t understand why Qin Yangjun had suddenly appeared there.

At that moment, Qin Yangjun was holding a wooden stick, prying up dirt under the tree.

Hearing Linghu’er’s words, he seemed startled, then looked up at Linghu’er in the tree with surprise.

“What are you doing here?”

Linghu’er glanced at the manor, then turned her head away arrogantly.

“Hmph! None of your business.”

“Alright, I won’t bother then.”

Saying that, Qin Yangjun buried himself in his work again.

After a moment, a wooden box emerged…
