“Qiuqiu, the leaves.”
“H-haha! Master, actually, after you were sealed, Qiuqiu’s memory is also incredibly muddled. Sometimes, I can remember things. Other times, I don’t remember anything.” Qiuqiu awkwardly tried to change the topic.
“Also, Master, you don’t know, right? The items in the inner world that you see with your eyes is merely a small portion. Your inner world hasn’t completely opened yet, so you aren’t that adept at using it right now. Also, in comparison to your items from the main planet, the items in your inner world are nothing compared to the items on the main planet even if you completely open your inner world,” Qiuqiu mused.
Qiao Mu chuckled. “Don’t attempt to lead me astray with those strange words! You’re forcefully changing the topic! Qiuqiu, give me the leaves.”
“Little Master, believe me! Qiuqiu is speaking the truth! If Little One reaches level-seven cultivation, Qiuqiu can immediately help you assimilate the Heart of Paradise into the star domain. Then, Little One won’t have that much trouble later and need to take out the Heart of Paradise every time you want to store or withdraw something! Also, you can also personally enter the paradise star…”
Qiuqiu continued to ramble on like it was chanting a Buddhist scripture, causing Qiao Mu to glare at it. She roared, “The! Leaves!!!”
‘Wahhh—’
Qiuqiu shook its barren branches and saw the sole two leaves on it snatched away by its heartless little master. A chilly feeling pervaded its heart.
After Qiao Mu got out of the water, she roughly dried herself and wore a middle layer garment. Then, she looked down at the two vibrant leaves in her hand and asked lightly, “Qiuqiu, can I still… see Master?”
“I’m afraid that’s very difficult. I only remember that your soul was unstable back then and would completely disappear if you continued to remain with your master. Hence, your master—ah, I remember now, and your uncle-master too! It was your master and uncle-master who borrowed the power of space-time to send you back.”
‘So the reason I was able to rebirth is due to… my master and uncle-master?’
‘But before that, my soul wandered in the world for who knew how long?’ Qiao Mu suddenly clutched the fabric in front of her chest. She felt like she could not breathe from how hard her heart hurt!
‘What kind of important things did I forget in those forgotten years…?’
“My master? What was my master’s name?!” Qiao Mu asked in a state of unrest as she sat on her bedside.
“What’s Master’s name? Eh, my little disciple doesn’t know Master’s name?” A figure leaped inside the room through the window. The figure used the moonlight to send her a beautiful and alluring smile. “Ah! Master’s name is Murong Xun!”
Qiao Mu was dumbfounded. Wasn’t Murong Xun’s arrival too coincidental? She continued Qiao Mu’s words especially smoothly! It was simply too seamless!
“Little disciple, what’s with that expression of yours? Aren’t you happy to see Master?” Murong Xun appeared in front of her with a leap and reached out to pick up this soft-looking girl. She said merrily, “What a little rascal, we haven’t seen each other in so long. Didn’t you miss Master in the slightest?”
“Master, we have returned from Qinghe Town for a few days! Eldest Senior Sister said she had no idea where you went. You were the one who abandoned us disciples!” the little stoic retorted.
Murong Xun did not feel embarrassed at all and broke out into loud laughter instead. She pinched the child’s stoic face. “Disciple, Master and your senior sisters will return to our sect tomorrow. Will you come with us?”
Qiao Mu pondered over it for a moment before saying, “Sorry, Master. This disciple will be willful. I want to… wait until Mother births my younger brother or sister before I go to the sect.”
Murong Xun pinched the child’s cheeks with a smile. “Child, why do you act like a fossil?! At your age, you should be willful and reckless! Don’t worry, be willful however you want. Master will have your back!”
