Chapter 28 – Is there another little gift?
Listen to the roar in the wind.
Wu Duantian and Zhao Lingtian's faces turned dark instantly.
"Senior, have I offended you in some way? We don't even know each other, there's no need to humiliate me like this, is there?"
Zhao Lingtian was indignant.
A genius like him was revered everywhere he went.
His dantian was injured by a demonic cultivator, and as a cultivator in the late Divine Transformation stage, his master Wu Duantian was constantly worried and busy because Zhao's exceptional talent could elevate the future of the Azure Cloud Sect significantly.
When had he ever been insulted like this?
Even just hearing the word "scram" made Zhao Lingtian's face burn with shame.
Yet there was no response from Evergreen Mountain.
Zhao Lingtian was both angry and embarrassed, wanting to leave but unwilling to give up the chance to restore his dantian, so he stood there foolishly, looking to Wu Duantian for help.
"Sigh, let's go. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If not, it means you have no fate with that senior." Wu Duantian shook his head and sighed, helpless in this situation.
If the other party were a cultivator of equal strength, he could at least seek justice for his disciple.
But so far, even though the mysterious cultivator had sent a voice transmission, Wu Duantian couldn't pinpoint their location.
This meant the other party could remain hidden if they wished.
From the start, they had the upper hand, and their strength was at least equal to if not greater than his. Continuing to pursue this would only bring humiliation.
"Master..." Zhao Lingtian was unwilling.
Wu Duantian patted his disciple's shoulder, not summoning his flying sword, but walking away on foot, pretending to be carefree as he said, "Let's go."@@novelbin@@

He felt worse than Zhao Lingtian.
As a master, he should protect his disciple, but now he could only swallow his pride and leave in disgrace.
On the other side, Lu Changtian and the disciples from the Enforcement Hall sat under a pine tree, still shaken.
They had come with fifty people, but now only thirty-six remained.
Fourteen disciples from the Enforcement Hall had died in the battle with the red-haired zombie.
Fortunately, a master in Evergreen Mountain had intervened, splitting the lightning to take down the red-haired zombie. Without that help, they would have suffered more losses.
"I wonder which boss did this, summoning heavenly lightning to cleanse evil. Such methods are beyond our reach," a disciple sighed.
Lu Changtian remained silent, but he deeply admired the mysterious master's skills.
If he could meet that master and receive some guidance, his cultivation path would surely be smoother.
"Senior Brother Lu, after this incident, should we continue the mission?"
"Yeah, Senior Brother Lu, we don't even know if the demonic cultivator is dead..."
Though the disciples didn't say it outright, their evasive glances and hesitant words showed their desire to retreat. Seeing this, Lu Changtian felt disdain and said calmly, "The sect master's mission must be completed. Given your current state, report the casualties first, and leave the rest to me."
"Oh, Senior Brother Lu, is that okay?"
"Evergreen Mountain is dangerous. How can you manage alone, Senior Brother Lu?"
Hearing these insincere words, Lu Changtian pursed his lips:
"It's settled. My mind is made up. I'm the leader, and you will follow my orders!"
With that, the disciples from the Enforcement Hall stopped resisting, thanked him profusely, and left, leaving Lu Changtian alone under the pine tree.
"Heh, cowardly rats."
"With attitudes like yours, you'll never seize opportunities."
Continuing the mission wasn't just about face and the sect master's orders.
It was also about opportunity.
Opportunities for one person and a group are two different things!
…
Inside the small house, everything was calm.
"Senior, my dantian's recovery is all thanks to your kindness. I'm endlessly grateful."
The girl bowed to the ceiling, having expressed her gratitude many times, unsure how to convey her joy and appreciation. Words felt too shallow, and saying more seemed insincere, so she kept the rest in her heart.
"Why thank me? You're my virtual girlfriend!" Chen Huaian's face lit up as he saw the favorability reach 60. "As your cyber boyfriend, isn't it my duty to help my virtual girlfriend? Qingran, just focus on your cultivation and trample those who look down on you. My life may be set, but you're different. Even if you're just data, data can grow. Before this game officially launches, I'll make you the strongest female cultivator! That way, even if I'm taken by the King of Hell, I can reincarnate as the world's richest man with a smile!"
What Li Qingran heard was:
[Focus on cultivation, stay humble and diligent!]
"Yes, I will not disappoint your expectations, Senior!"
Li Qingran bowed deeply, her face serious, but she couldn't help thinking:
Senior is still so aloof, but unexpectedly reliable and gives a sense of security...
"Hehe." She giggled, then quickly put on a serious face and took a beaded bracelet from her storage ring.
It was made of spirit stones, each polished into uniform beads, looking exquisite.
"Senior, this is a fortune bead I made. It's not made of good materials, so please don't mind it. Once I have better materials, I'll make you a new one!"
Low-grade spirit stones were the only things Li Qingran felt she could use.
Spirit crystals were needed for the advanced gathering spirit array daily, and though she wanted to use them for the fortune bead, she feared angering the senior.
But the low-grade spirit stones given by the senior each day seemed to be for her to use freely.
Since they were for her to use freely, she decided to indulge a little.
[Your virtual girlfriend 'Li Qingran' has made you a small gift, it's been sent, please check it.]
"Wow! A gift too? Qingran, you're the best! Hehehe..." Chen Huaian grinned at his phone, feeling that all the money he spent was worth it.
Even knowing it's a ploy by the developers, so what?
Emotional value is priceless!
He accepted it.
Meanwhile, in the Azure Cloud Realm.
What Li Qingran heard was:
[Not bad, thoughtful.]
…
…
"I wonder when the little gift will arrive..."
In a certain seven-day express hotel.
Chen Huaian was still holding his phone, reluctant to put it down.
"Speaking of which, the last protective amulet was of poor quality. Just one hike and my name on it was washed away by sweat..."
Thinking about it made Chen Huaian speechless.
After all the money he spent.
And the protective amulet faded?
No sincerity at all.
Hopefully, this time the official gift will be of better quality.
[Tsk, I wonder why this human boy is staring at that black box and giggling...]
A pair of round cat eyes peeked through the gap of a shoebox.
The cat sneakily peered outside.
[My body is too weak now, I probably can't face him head-on. Plus, this human seems to have some special ability, grabbing my neck makes me unable to move. To be safe, I'll wait until he's asleep to act!]
In the middle of the night.
Li Qingran was as usual cultivating.
Chen Huaian, before sleeping, foolishly checked his balance, and his face turned green.
Where did his money go?
In just two days, the money he just earned was almost gone?
"Looks like I need to start the second challenge live stream soon..."
But his foot wasn't healed yet, and for the live stream to be effective, the challenge couldn't be easier than Mount Tai, or who would watch? Either that or come up with something new, but either way, it wasn't friendly to his current injured state.
Chen Huaian was worried, and only fell asleep completely at four in the morning.
Moonlight crept in through the window, brushing over the windowsill and sofa, silently spilling onto the shoebox.
The motionless shoebox suddenly opened.
Four nimble black cat paws landed steadily on the table, making no sound.
In the darkness, a pair of cat eyes glowed red, staring intently at the man asleep on the bed.
It approached step by step.
Walking into the moonlight.
The shadow cast on the wall wasn't that of a cat, but a terrifying giant beast.
Outside the window, the wind stopped, the grass was still,
The chirping of insects ceased instantly.
Time became sticky at this moment...
What do you think?
