Chapter 1052 - 487: Su Qingdai’s Misunderstanding

Sigh.

Chen Ye also doesn’t want to bully the little white fox.

After all, this fox is a Nascent Soul True Monarch! If it really gets angry, the consequences could be terrible...

If there’s blame, blame the little white fox itself.

Who made it look so easy to bully?

"Ahem, Bai, calm down, take it easy."

Chen Ye plans to first soothe the little fox.

As for confessing to it?

Now, this fox is already about to explode. If he confesses he’s making fun of it, it might immediately swipe its tail over...

He plans to find a suitable secret afterward to fool the little white fox.

The little white fox, supported back onto the wooden table by spiritual power, nearly burst with anger, stamping its two front paws on the table with loud "bang bang":

"Chirp, chirp! (Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down!)"

"Listen to my explanation, aren’t we about to attend the herb gathering ceremony?"

Chen Ye acts seriously.

Although he’s never deceived a fox, lacking experience.

But this little white fox is like a little girl, teasing a little girl, isn’t that his forte?

The little white fox breathed a puff at Chen Ye, reluctantly holding back:

"Chirp? Chirp! (So what? What does it matter to me!)"

"The herb gathering ceremony is a gathering of hundreds of families, and among them are many hidden great cultivators with vast experience."

Chen Ye held a tea cup, his expression solemn,

"You are a fox with extraordinary spirituality, likely with a special bloodline. If you lose composure upon hearing this secret, and show the slightest slip in front of those high experts, letting them know you’re a rare spirit fox, perhaps... they would capture you."

"Sigh... I didn’t want to explain it to you, for fear you’d be worried half to death, enduring your bullying all these days in silence. But right now, it’s impossible not to confess."

Chen Ye’s words,

made the white-clad girl sitting opposite pause for a moment.

Master, even not sparing the fox?

Indeed,

Dressing as a man to block in front of the master was correct.

Nonetheless, Zhiwei ultimately is thoughtful, respecting the master as a good disciple.

No matter what her master wants to do, she will support it without hesitation.

Thus,

the girl’s face remained calm, heart unmoved, following Chen Ye’s nonsense, cooperatively saying:

"Bai, what the master says is very true. Ten Thousand Medicines Celestial City is very deep, and at today’s herb gathering ceremony, I vaguely sensed a few probes belonging to Golden Core Stage cultivators on the main street this morning. You should calmly cultivate, control your emotions, don’t let down the master’s earnest intentions."

The little white fox stiffened on the wooden table.

Just with Chen Ye’s words,

it could only be believed three parts.

But... seeing Zhiwei say the same thing, its little fox heart was somewhat swayed, even feeling a bit guilty.

It kind of makes sense?

Moreover,

Chen Ye and the others merely speculate it’s a special fox, totally unaware it’s the legendary True Man Ye.

This identity is even more crucial, and riskier, indeed requiring proper concealment.

"Chirp... chirp, chirp? (You... you really didn’t say anything because you were afraid I’d slip in front of Golden Core masters?)"

The little fox skeptically tilted its head.

But then considering how he served it spiritual fruit every meal along the way, even reprimanding Lian Qingjun when she bothered it.

Momentarily, the immense anger was indeed cooled down by a good half.

Could it be... this wicked human race really changed, secretly protecting me this much?

Was I really being a bit unreasonable just now?

No, no, no!

If he really wanted to protect me, why did he tease me earlier, why didn’t he just outright say nothing?

"Chirp chirp!"

Upon this thought, the little white fox hurriedly questioned.

Chen Ye sighed: "If I said nothing at all, you’d eventually sense clues from other places. Then you’d go probing without any defense, wouldn’t it be easier to fall into the eyes of those with ulterior motives? I thought it over and decided to give you a foundation first."

The little white fox was overwhelmed by the words, its two front paws unconsciously retracted, its pointed ears folded.

Shame and annoyance showed as it swiped its tail, turning its head awkwardly:

"Chirp... (Then, then I’ll believe you once, but this past few days of teasing me, I’ll still remember it...)"

Chen Ye watched and breathed a long sigh of relief internally.

However...

Is this fox really dim-witted due to reverting to its original form?

Is it possible it was just dull from the start?

If this is the case... maybe he could trick a Nascent Soul True Monarch into being a helper someday.

Chen Ye now grows increasingly doubtful of the little white fox’s intelligence.

This creature doesn’t seem like a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

Perhaps... could he bully it more in the future?

Bulling the disciple, he feels bad for;

Bulling the little fox, that’s so much fun.

Suddenly,

the jade pendant on Chen Ye’s waist flashed once, he reached out and touched it, receiving Jin’er’s divine sense message.

"I see..."

After receiving Jin’er’s divine sense,

Chen Ye roughly understood the course of events.

The two girls encountered Su Qingdai from Medicine King Valley being attacked outside and helped her.

Also, because the attackers managed to block the local spiritual mechanism, causing the sound transmission jade pendant to fail, they couldn’t notify him in the first instant.

After all, the ordinary sound transmission jade pendants in this world work by using the scattered spiritual mechanism in the heavens and earth as threads, transmitting strands of condensed divine sense across space.

This method is quick and effortless, but its drawback is also quite apparent, even a mere residual spell could disrupt surrounding spiritual mechanisms, causing transmission breaks.

"Tap tap tap..."

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the elegant room.

Quickly coming upstairs were two of the disciples and the three from Medicine King Valley looking battered.
