"Wu Yuan, I've found that she's been very strange recently. In the past, she only focused on cultivation and didn't ask about or care about anything in Qinglian School. But after you came back and went into hibernation, she seemed to have changed into a different person."
If possible, Wu Zhen really didn't want to say it. She and Wu Yuan were both apprentice sisters under Miaoyin, and they were also in the same line as the Headmaster.
They were both candidates for the next Headmaster.
Based on the current situation, it was obvious who the next Headmaster would be. Wu Zhen was now the Acting Headmaster.
At this time, if she said anything bad about Wu Yuan, it really meant that she was excluding dissidents. Therefore, she had been hesitating whether she should say it or not.
However, Wu Yuan's behavior and whereabouts were too strange. There was a big contrast with the past, so she had to be careful.
"What did she do?"
Yun Shisan didn't doubt Wu Zhen's words. She was already the Acting Headmaster, and the next Headmaster was already set in stone.
He had a different view from ordinary people. Qinglian School was also different from other schools. The school was united. Although there were schemes against each other, there was no betrayal of righteousness and principles.
She was now the Acting Headmaster. In this kind of situation where she was almost certain, she wouldn't exclude dissidents. It was impossible for her to do something so stupid. If anything happened to Wu Yuan, the first target would be her, the Acting Headmaster.
"During this period of time, she has been inquiring about the school, such as the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Formation. But we don't understand the mystery of this formation, so naturally, we can't explain it.
In addition, she asked me about Grandmaster Qing Yue. I know more about Grandmaster Qing Yue, and I believe in Junior Sister Wu Yuan, so of course, I will answer her questions.
In addition, she is also very concerned about your condition. Now that I think about it, there are many strange things. She actually cares about your condition. When you were hibernation, why didn't she come to see you?
Another thing is that two days ago, when the nine forces besieged Qinglian School, everyone was paying attention to this matter, but she found an excuse to cultivate in seclusion.
However, after the battle, the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Formation returned to normal, but she hurriedly left Qinglian School. It seems that she is deliberately avoiding other people's attention. She hasn't returned yet. "
"Is it true?
Can you find out where she is now? "
Yun Shisan sounded serious. If that was the case, it was something that he and the entire Qinglian School didn't want to see.
This was a serious matter, so he did not dare to make a conclusion easily. If there was really a problem with Wu Yuan, then based on what Wu Zhen had said, Wu Yuan was probably not aiming for the position of Sect Master.
That would only make things worse. They were traitors, colluding with outsiders, or even spies planted by other forces.
If this really happened, Yun Shisan still hoped that she did not belong to any of the above categories, or that she was bewitched, deceived, or controlled by others. These were all forgivable.
However, if they were traitors or spies planted by other forces, then it would be unforgivable and very serious.
Wu Zhen shook his head and said, "I can't find them. I've also sent people to search for them, but they couldn't find any traces at all."
Yun Shisan was silent. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "This is indeed a serious matter. How about this, I'm still a bit busy these few days. After I'm done, I'll personally deal with it.
If she comes back in these few days, you'll do as usual. If she asks you anything, just tell her the truth. If she doesn't come back, then I'll calculate her whereabouts. "
"Calculate?
Then forget it. "
Wu Zhen still clearly remembered that Yun Shisan had used up all of his energy to calculate Yun Caiyue and Mo Wanqing's whereabouts, and his hair turned white overnight.
At this time, Yun Shisan had just woken up from his heavy injuries. She was truly a bit scared. She didn't know what this calculation would do to her.
Yun Shisan patted Wu Zhen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem. Let's go eat first. This is spiritual food, it would be a pity to waste it."
When they walked out of the living room, they immediately heard a burst of clamor. The clamor was filled with joy.
Although Lu Wuchen was led by Lan Yunting, she was distracted after sitting at the table. The people here were all very good to her, but to her, they were still too unfamiliar. She felt a bit uncomfortable.
This girl's gaze had never left the entrance of the Water Moon Pavilion. When she saw Yun Shisan come out, she immediately jumped up from the chair happily and waved her little hand, shouting, "Big Brother Master, here, here …"
Yun Shisan and Wu Zhen quickly walked over and took a look. Her table had Lan Yunting, Ye Xuanying, Yun Caiyue, Ouyang Liuli, Sister Mei, and the little girl. There were exactly six people at her table, and there were two more seats next to her.
The table was already filled with delicacies, but no one touched their chopsticks. It was obvious that they were waiting for the two of them.
"Sit down and eat. This is all good food. This is spiritual food." Yun Shisan patted the little girl's head and was about to sit down next to her.
At this time, Heavenly Talisman Jiuke, who was at the table next to them, shouted, "Shisan, your seat is here. We have reserved it for you. Don't just sit there!"
Yun Shisan turned his head and saw that there were six people at Heavenly Talisman Jiuke's table: Yun Caiqi, Wan Zhongshan, Mu Yuchen, Ji Zhangming, and Fang Zizhou. There were still three empty seats.
When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but remember that when his Primordial Spirit had awakened, he said that he wanted to drink with Wan Zhongshan and the others.
"Wuzhen, you sit here!"
Yun Shisan patted Lu Wuchen's little head and said, "Weichen, you eat here with Sister Lan. I'll sit next to you."
Lu Wuchen pouted and said, "I'll go too!"
"We're drinking. You can't drink. Sit here and be good!"
"No, I can drink too. I'm good at drinking. I want to drink too." The little girl didn't give up and grabbed onto Yun Shisan.
Yun Shisan was helpless. This little girl was unfamiliar with everyone and still clung to him. It would take some time for her to get used to this, so he had to bring her along.
After sitting down again, Yun Shisan found that the little girl was still holding the Netherworld Cat in her arms. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you holding it while eating?"
"Blackie wants to eat too. I want to give it fish." Lu Wuchen's little hand rubbed the Netherworld Cat's head.
"You can give it anything. It's not an ordinary cat. It's not picky. I'll get someone to give it a portion later and let it eat by itself. You can put it down first."
However, the little girl refused and insisted on holding onto the Netherworld Cat. Yun Shisan had to let her put the cat on the table in front of the little girl. He also gave it a bowl. Only then was the little girl satisfied.
This scene reminded him of Little White. He wondered how Little White was doing. Ever since it swallowed the Eight Revolutions Life Prolonging Elixir, Little White went back to sleep.
Little White was really unlucky to have a master like him and even formed a symbiotic contract.
He glanced at the animal collar in the little girl's hand and asked curiously, "You're giving it to Blackie and not to the wolf?"
Lu Wuchen shook her head and said, "I'm not giving it to it. It made master and big brother unhappy so I won't give it food."
"Okay, then I won't give it to it."
"But if I don't give it food, won't it starve to death?"
The little girl's little face showed a touch of embarrassment. In her heart, the wolf made master and big brother unhappy and punished it by not giving it food. However, she was kind and pure at heart and was afraid that it would starve to death.
At this time, Fu Jiu interrupted and said, "Don't worry, it won't starve to death. It has a high cultivation level and won't be hungry. When it's obedient, we'll give it food. Come, come, let's eat."
Everyone looked at the table full of delicacies and could not help but eat. These were all spiritual dishes, not grains.
The rice was not ordinary rice, but spiritual grains. They were cultivated with majestic spiritual energy. Although the yield of spiritual grains was twice as high as ordinary rice, it took a long time to cultivate and could only be harvested after three years.
There was a mountain in the Qinglian School that cultivated spiritual grains. It was mainly used to provide spiritual dishes for the Qinglian School. It was only used for the celebration banquet. Otherwise, it would not be able to provide three meals a day.
Usually, the outer sect disciples would eat grains in the cafeteria. It was all thanks to Yun Shisan that they could eat a meal of spiritual dishes today. The outer sect disciples could not wait for Yun Shisan to accept disciples every day so that they could have spiritual dishes every day.
Every grain of rice cooked with spirit grains was full of spirit energy. Smelling it, there was a mellow fragrance of rice. Ordinary people couldn't stop after eating a mouthful of it.
Spiritual grains were hard to come by, but so were the dishes on this table. There were stewed wolf meat with pickled vegetables, crystal bear paws, stewed pork trotters, braised pork ribs, stir-fried lotus roots, steamed fish, lingzhi chicken pot, ginseng chicken, sizzling beef, steamed shrimp, roasted whole lamb …
These were not ordinary ingredients. Wolves were mountain wolves and had a certain level of cultivation. So were bears and pigs. There was a group of them near the Qinglian School. They all had cultivation and knew how to absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. They were deliberately left behind by the Qinglian School and could be considered rearing them.
The fish and shrimp also had a strong spiritual nature and weak cultivation, but they all came from the East Sea. The chicken was an ordinary chicken, but after using culinary techniques, it was filled with a majestic amount of spiritual energy. The same was true for the cattle and sheep.
The lotus root was not an ordinary lotus root. It came from the lotus pond in the Lotus Peak and was full of spiritual energy. It was the best dish to eat.
The cooking method of spiritual dishes was also very particular. It was easy to eat, but it was much more troublesome to cook. It required the use of spiritual energy to remove the impurities in the ingredients and then use special techniques to seal the spiritual energy in the ingredients.
The selection of ingredients was the most important part of the cooking method, but culinary skills were also very important.
"Meow, meow …"
The Netherworld Cat stared at the table full of delicious dishes. Its cat eyes widened and its claws scratched the table restlessly. However, it did not dare to reach out its claws. It was very intelligent and knew that it would not have a good ending if it reached out its claws.
"Meow …"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, the Netherworld Cat turned its head and meowed to Lu Wuchen. It even scratched the small bowl in front of it with its claws. Its gaze and expression showed that it was wronged.
"Girl, eat and feed the cat!"
Yun Shisan smiled and said to everyone, "Let's eat too. It would be a waste if we don't eat such delicious spiritual dishes."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks. Yun Shisan picked up a crystal bear paw and put it into his mouth. The culinary skills were very good. The thick bear paw was fresh and delicious. A mellow fragrance exploded on his taste buds and a strong spiritual energy instantly spread to his limbs and bones.
