The two spiritual beasts caused a huge ruckus, trampling on Mingxin Residence to an outrageous degree.
Xiuqin and Qingqi, who lived nearby, ran over to take a look. Their faces turned green. "Martial Uncle Mo!" She was here, but they were the ones cleaning up Mingxin Residence!
Mo Tiange raised her hand to stop them. "Wait a minute."
Xiuqin stomped her foot. "If we wait any longer, the house will be burned!"
What Xiaohuo sprayed was Sun Real Fire, so the fence was already burning.
Mo Tiange never liked to deliberately torment others. Seeing Xiuqin and Qingqi anxiously running around in circles, she felt bored, but she still used her divine comprehension to call back the two spiritual beasts.
Feifei had a contract with her, but Xiaohuo had a mysterious connection with Mo Tiange because of the Virtual Sky World.
Now that Xiaohuo received her divine comprehension, it fiercely chased after her for a while. When it saw Feifei jumping into her arms, it wagged its tail, ran over, and lay on her lap motionlessly.
"Okay, you two can't fight in the future. You have to be as close as brothers, understand?"
As she lectured them, she took out two medicinal pills and fed them. She thought maybe she should also establish a spiritual beast contract with Xiaohuo.
Feifei didn't care about it. It ate countless spiritual plants and spiritual medicines in the Virtual Sky World these days, so it just happily took her medicinal pills. Xiaohuo's eyes widened when it saw the medicinal pills.
Unexpectedly, Mo Tiange hadn't been back for more than twenty years, so its medicinal pills had long been finished.
After feeding Xiaohuo several medicinal pills, she watched as Xiaohuo ran into the living room, found a corner, and curled up to cultivate. She then turned around and asked Ye Zhenji, "When did Xiaohuo make a realm-breakthrough?"
Ye Zhenji thought for a while then said, "About fifteen years ago, when I was about to finish feeding it medicinal pills."
"Then how come it's already in the peak of the third rank now?" Mo Tiange was puzzled. "If it finished its medicinal pills, it shouldn't be able to cultivate so fast, right?"
Ye Zhenji answered, "I told master about this, and he never forgot to concoct medicinal pills for Xiaohuo all these years."
"…" Mo Tiange thought for a while then asked in surprise, "Did you show Xiaohuo's medicinal pills to your master?"
"En …"
Upon hearing Ye Zhenji's answer, Mo Tiange became anxious. "Didn't I tell you that the medicinal pills I gave you — whether it's for you or Xiaohuo — can't be shown to other people?"
Upon seeing her furrowing her brows, Ye Zhenji was alarmed. "Auntie, it wasn't me who showed it to Master. It was Master who saw Xiaohuo eating medicinal pills, so he took it over to have a look." However, he was still puzzled. "Master didn't do anything after he saw it, so what happened?"
"Did your master see anything?"
Mo Tiange calmed down and cast a glance at Xiuqin and Qingqi, who were busy tidying up the medicinal fields. They didn't pay any attention to her at all. "What did he say?
Tell me his reaction in detail. "
Although Ye Zhenji was puzzled, he still explained everything in detail. "Master looked at that medicinal pill for a long time. I was also worried that something might have gone wrong, but in the end, master only said that he also knew how to concoct this medicinal pill. He also said he'd let him study this pill and that he'd return the bottle to me.
He is my master, how could I dare to say no?
Moreover, Master didn't say anything was wrong, so I felt relieved. "At this point, Ye Zhenji asked cautiously," Auntie, what's the problem with the medicinal pills in the end?
Can't we let others know? "
Mo Tiange broke out in a cold sweat. What should she say?
Luo Fengxue once said that Senior Martial Brother Shoujing's pill-concocting skills were the best in Clear Spring Peak. Even Master couldn't compare to him, so how could he not see that there was something wrong with that medicinal pill?
That medicinal pill was only an ordinary Beast Spirit Pill for spiritual beasts, but its ingredients were spiritual plants that were at least a thousand years old.
Who would use a thousand-year-old spiritual plant to concoct a Beast Spirit Pill?
Ordinary people could only use it for a few dozen years at most, or a hundred years at most.
She took a deep breath and tried hard to calm herself down. "Then did he ever see the medicinal pills you took?"
Ye Zhenji answered, "No.
Although Master was curious why my aptitude wasn't high but my cultivation speed was fast, he didn't ask me about it. "
Mo Tiange sighed in relief then cautiously reminded him again, "Remember, no matter what medicinal pills I give you in the future, you mustn't let others see them, not even if it's an accident like this."
Although Ye Zhenji didn't understand, he still nodded in the end. "I understand." He thought for a moment then asked worriedly, "Auntie, will it be okay if Master finds out?"
Mo Tiange shook her head. "You should go back first. Let Auntie think about it."
"Oh …"
Ye Zhenji obediently left. Mo Tiange stared at his back with a gloomy expression.
The secret of the Virtual Sky World must never be known by others, not even by her master, who treated her like his own son.
Who in the cultivation world could resist the temptation of a garden full of spiritual plants?
Not even Deification cultivators.
But did he know?
Mo Tiange wasn't sure at all.
If he knew, did Master know?
Thinking about this possibility, she began to sweat.
Carefully thinking about what happened after she came back, Master … seemed very normal. He didn't show any special emotions, and Xiuqin and the others were also very normal.
Presumably, even if that person realized something was wrong, he still hadn't told Master, right?
In addition, seeing a medicinal pill couldn't explain more problems. Maybe he just had doubts in his heart. After all, who could guess the truth?
But no matter what, it wasn't a good thing if this matter was leaked.
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange stood up and decided to probe that master's intentions.
Just as she stepped out of Mingxin Residence, she saw a person standing there — it was that Martial Nephew Ruan.
Mo Tiange already knew she was outside, so she didn't bother to greet her. She just pretended she didn't see anything and walked forward.
In any case, Ruan Mingzhu, as a junior, should be the one to greet her first.
Ruan Mingzhu did greet her, but the tone of her greeting was really unpleasant. "Stop!"
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then stopped obediently. "Martial Nephew Ruan, what's the matter?"
Ruan Mingzhu's expression changed. In the end, she asked, "What's the relationship between you and that boy?"
"Which boy?" Mo Tiange raised her eyebrows.
Ruan Mingzhu stamped her feet. "The boy who just went out!
My senior martial brother's disciple! "
Your senior martial brother's disciple?
Mo Tiange shook her head inwardly. In any case, Zhenji is my senior martial brother's disciple, right?
Although she thought so, she still looked calm on the surface. "You mean Zhenji?
He's my nephew. What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"Your nephew …" Ruan Mingzhu's expression was unsightly. "How could he be your nephew?"
Mo Tiange thought it was funny, so she smiled. "Why can't he be my nephew?
Martial Nephew Ruan, you're meddling too much! "
When she said the words "Martial Nephew Ruan," she deliberately emphasized her tone to remind this arrogant woman that she was her master's proper disciple.
"You —" Ruan Mingzhu was infuriated, but her lips trembled and she couldn't say anything.
Since she promised her master she wouldn't cause trouble for her, Mo Tiange didn't want to continue provoking her, so she said, "I still have something to do, so I can't chat with you, Martial Nephew." Right after she said that, she left Ruan Mingzhu behind and minded her own business.
Ruan Mingzhu didn't know whether she was angry or bitter, but she just stood there motionlessly.
When she reached the main hall of Shangqing Palace, Lord Daoist Jinghe was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. There wasn't a single maid around him.
Mo Tiange walked towards him. "Master!"
Lord Daoist Jinghe opened his eyes then closed them again. "Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just haven't been back for more than twenty years, so I wanted to chat with Master."
The corners of Lord Daoist Jinghe's lips curled up into a smile. "Did Mingzhu provoke you?"
Mo Tiange shook her head. "Even if she provoked me, I'd pretend I didn't see it.
She's just a child who can't grow up — what's the point of bickering with her? "
Upon hearing what she said, Lord Daoist Jinghe's eyes revealed a sad yet gratified expression. "In the end, I didn't lead you astray …"
Mo Tiange chuckled then asked, "Master, I find it strange — why is she so fixated on Senior Martial Brother Shoujing?
With Senior Martial Brother's temperament, it's fine if it's other people, but to her, wouldn't Senior Martial Brother's personality be boring? "
Lord Daoist Jinghe smiled bitterly. "How could she really like him?
It's just that she can't get him, so she wholeheartedly wants him.
I can only blame myself for spoiling her like this — she must get whatever she wants. Finally, there's one thing she can't get with great difficulty, so she fell into a demonic barrier. "Speaking up to this point, he thought in his heart, Wasn't that brat also like this in the beginning?
If he hadn't encountered that Deification cultivator, he probably wouldn't have this kind of thought about Mo Tiange. At most, he would only have a slightly favorable impression of her, right?
However, two Deification cultivators suddenly appeared in front of him, causing his favorable impression to fall through, so he became obsessed. The more he couldn't get her, the deeper his obsession became, and in the end, he fell into a demonic barrier.
As for what that brat liked about Mo Tiange, he probably couldn't say it himself.
It turned out he only admired her, paid attention to her, and was only curious about her. If there were no other factors, maybe he would've been like this in this lifetime. Or maybe, after several hundred years, this kind of feeling would've slowly faded.
However, something like that happened again, causing him to fall into his own psychological trap.
The more he couldn't get her, the more he paid attention to her. The more he thought about her, the more he couldn't bear to part with her.
Some feelings couldn't be counted clearly, and some feelings didn't even have a beginning.
Mo Tiange was scared by Lord Daoist Jinghe's gaze, and that terrifying thought appeared again.
Does Master really know?
Is this a test?
After a long time, Lord Daoist Jinghe withdrew his gaze. "Don't worry about Mingzhu. When this matter is over, let her return to the branch courtyard. She can't stay here anymore."
Mo Tiange breathed a sigh of relief. His tone didn't have any abnormalities.
She thought for a while then asked, "Master, is Senior Martial Brother Shoujing going to form his Nascent Soul soon?"
When this matter was brought up, Lord Daoist Jinghe looked worried and hesitated a bit. "He's already in the peak stage of the Core Formation realm, and the materials for forming his Nascent Soul have long been prepared. According to reason, he can indeed enter Closed Door Meditation to form his Nascent Soul."
Seeing that Lord Daoist Jinghe looked worried, Mo Tiange couldn't help but ask, "Does Master think there's a problem?"
"It's hard to say."
Lord Daoist Jinghe shook his head. "I always feel this brat will encounter a big problem when he forms his Nascent Soul, but he's determined and can't be stopped."
"A big problem?"
Mo Tiange thought silently. Master has long said he's too anxious, but why didn't he have this kind of problem before?
What's the reason that makes his mental state have a problem that even Master thinks is difficult to deal with?
"Fine, I'll let him form his Nascent Soul."
Lord Daoist Jinghe said faintly, but the worry in his eyes didn't fade away. "That child has always been stubborn and stubborn, and he's always had his own ideas. If we don't let him go, I'm afraid he himself won't be reconciled.
When he fails, he'll naturally deal with it. "
