Chapter 888: Chapter 428: Additional Update In Progress...

This matter quickly spread within the Inner Sect of the Wuji Sect. However, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, people in the Inner Sect are not as lively as those in the Outer Sect. Discussions abound, with those in the Inner Sect more curious about which senior brother is helping the Celestial Family.

Soon, this matter reached Tianxiu’s master, Qingshen.

Upon learning of this, Qingshen hurried over from the Law Enforcement Hall, attempting to say a few good words for his disciple.

After all, there are tens of thousands of Outer Disciples, but the Inner Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators only number just over a thousand, and with the Celestial Net State being unstable recently, it is a time in need of people.

At this time, how can there be good from brethren harming each other?

"Master, why have you come?" Kneeling in the main hall of the Inspection Hall, Tianxiu was somewhat surprised by the master’s appearance.

Qingshen strolled into the Inspection Hall’s main hall, respectfully addressing the Inspector Hall Master above the hall, "Elder Qu, this old man dares to beseech you to show leniency!"

"Master, Tianxiu is willing to accept punishment!" Tianxiu quickly responded, fearing that her matter would implicate her master.

The next moment, the black-robed elder atop the hall slowly rose, exuding authority without anger, and slowly walked toward Qingshen, standing before him.

The black-robed elder was the Inspector Hall Master—Qu Shang!

One of the thirty-six Golden Core Zhenrens of the Wuji Sect, a truly influential figure whose words could shake the Celestial Net State.

"Qingshen, I have watched you grow up with my own eyes and have seldom seen you plead for someone. Unexpectedly today, you truly seem to care for this disciple of yours, even neglecting the matters of the Law Enforcement Hall to come here and plead for her."

Qingshen bowed hurriedly, "Hall Master, this old man merely wants to secure a chance for a good end for my disciple. With evil forces infesting her, she has limited time. If she were to be punished, she may not last through the year."

"Who said I was going to punish her?"

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang slowly spoke, surprising both Tianxiu and her pleading master.

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang slowly opened his mouth, saying, "Do you know why I summoned your disciple alone?"

Qingshen shook his head.

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang continued, "Though I do not know who in the sect is helping your disciple, the Celestial Family has, after all, gained a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Fu Xie. It perfectly supplements Chen Guang’s death. Moreover, that lad Fu Xie, I have personally recruited him twice, but he refused both times. If I had known he does not bend to coercion, this old man..."

With that, this Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang sighed helplessly, then smiled without saying more.

"That Fu Xie is a variant Earth Spirit Root, possessing the potential for Golden Core. Now a member of the Celestial Family, in due course, he could become a major asset for the Wuji Sect."

Qingshen was overjoyed, "Hall Master, does this mean that not only is Tianxiu not at fault, she is indeed meritorious?"

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang nodded with a smile, "That’s one way to see it, but there is no reward. Today, I brought her here to offer her an opportunity."

Upon those words, Qingshen quickly signaled to Tianxiu with a glance from the side.

Tianxiu immediately kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Hall Master!"

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang slowly spoke, "As long as you agree to help this old man with one thing, a new Market can be established for the Celestial Family to manage in the Outer Sect of the Wuji Sect. Now with Fu Xie in the Celestial Family, it can hold its ground. Simultaneously, the Celestial Family can choose someone to be appointed as the Outer Elder, elevating your family to greater heights."

Tianxiu was stunned upon hearing this.

Whether it’s a Market or the position of an Outer Elder, both are immense benefits, and knowing this, the Celestial Family could soar.

But for such generous rewards, what does she need to do in return?

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang slowly continued, "The sect has decided to send a team of Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators into the heretical realm to investigate what truly lies within. You, being among those who initially discovered the heretical forces, are the one who knows the internal situation best, so you will lead them."

"Then is my disciple not walking into certain death?" Qingshen gasped in shock.

The Inspector Hall Master Qu Shang nodded, calmly opening his mouth, "She already has limited time, so it all depends on her choice."

"I agree!"

Tianxiu didn’t hesitate.

Because she knows it’s her best choice, to make her death more meaningful.

...

A few days later.

After Tian Yue left the sect for training, Tianfu’s cave abode became completely peaceful. Most people on Cyan Bamboo Peak were busy with their own affairs, ignoring him.

That suited him just fine; with no one paying attention to him, he could quietly read books and finish his daily tasks.

If people kept coming to him, it would be a headache. However, in his solitude, Tianfu thought his cave abode could do with some other sounds.

Having a pet or something should be nice.

So Tianfu went to the Market, but he didn’t buy any exotic beasts; instead, he bought a turtle and a yellow dog.

The turtle was just an ordinary turtle.

The dog was also just an ordinary yellow dog.

Nothing special, unless you count their rather robust size as a feature.

Buying the dog was purely for amusement.

And buying the turtle was to compete on longevity.

"You’ll be... Da Mao," Tianfu pointed to the yellow dog, then looked at the palm-sized turtle, "and you’ll be Ermao."

Woof woof woof!

The yellow dog barked two or three times, as if it understood.

The turtle, on the other hand, continued to curl up.

"Alright, go play on your own." Tianfu continued to recline, picking up a book from the bamboo table beside him to read again.

It was at this moment that Tianpu suddenly came by.

Compared to before, this uncle seemed more reserved.

But the smile on his face was much brighter than before, even though his realm had fallen back to the Qi Cultivation Perfection.
