"Then why don't you go remind them?"
Fu Hua asked, putting a leaf of lettuce into her mouth.
"I'm not their nanny, and didn't you just ask me to make sure everyone was safe~"
Seemingly noticing Cuiji nearby, the Herrscher of Reason quickly greeted her.
"You must be the new disciple, I'm your master, the Herrscher of Reason!"
"Ah, hello Master."
Nodding, the Herrscher of Reason continued.
"You're much better than that white-haired recruit."
"White-haired recruit? Master, are you talking about Captain Anby?"
"Yes, that's her. I could tell right away she was from the military. She came right up and started talking about reports, reports."
"Alright, Little Herrscher, sit down and eat. You're practically standing on the table."
"Okay, okay."
Waving her hand, the Herrscher of Reason sat down, then leaned her head on Fu Hua's shoulder.
Looking at her new master, her behavior was lively and unrestrained, like a child.
Then looking at the other, mature, steady, and elegantly dignified woman.
Was this the legendary contrast?
"Hey, black-haired fox, you've been training here every day. How's it going?"
Hearing this, Hoshimi Miyabi, who was quietly eating, looked up and met the Herrscher of Reason's gaze.
"Lord Herrscher of Reason, my training with Teacher is improving greatly each time."
The Herrscher of Reason rubbed her nose. Hearing Miyabi still call her that, she sat up and patted her chest.
"Ahem, from now on, you don't need to find the Old Fossil. This Herrscher of Reason is proficient in all martial arts, no worse than her."
"Really? Thank you so much, Lord Herrscher of Reason."
Although I was indeed impulsive back then, I, the Herrscher of Reason, am not stupid. I've already figured things out.
Just then, Nicole's phone call came.
"Hello, Hua! Your sister just crushed my phone!"
"That was a flip phone passed down from my grandmother! A top-tier rare item! I'm heartbroken~"
Instantly, the Herrscher of Reason, who was demonstrating her prowess in front of Hoshimi Miyabi, froze.
"Understood. I apologize on Little Herrscher's behalf and will send compensation later."
The call ended.
Fu Hua looked at the Herrscher of Reason, who was now sitting obediently.
Although there was no outward anger, Hoshimi Miyabi and Cuiji could still feel a powerful pressure emanating from her.
"Little Herrscher, didn't I tell you before to be mindful of others' safety and not to damage things carelessly? And I've definitely emphasized this to you repeatedly..."
As if possessed by Tang Sanzang, Fu Hua, clad in a kasaya, clasped her hands together.
She began to chant.
Hearing this, the Herrscher of Reason's head started to ache.
"I know, I was wrong, Old Fossil, please stop chanting, ah--"
After an unknown amount of time, the Herrscher of Reason lay slumped on the table as if her soul had left her body.
Cuiji began to clear the dishes, while Fu Hua and Miyabi sat in their chairs, sipping tea.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Sushang was at a small temporary stall.
Seeing the fried pork cutlets and chicken legs on display, she couldn't resist.
"Boss, two servings of fried pork cutlets and two fried chicken legs, and pack two servings of fried rice."
"Coming right up~ Please find a seat first."
She walked over to the counter and sat down.
"Hey, isn't that Sushang? Why are you down here eating?"
Beside her, Paipai, who was eating, smiled and greeted her.
"Master Paipai, are you done with your work?"
Hearing this, Paipai swallowed the fried rice in his mouth and waved his hand.
"No, no, I still have to make two more trips this afternoon."
"There was a Hollow Disaster in the city yesterday, did it affect you?"
"Ah~ If you're talking about the impact, it wasn't too bad, just a bit more spent on gas."
Nodding, Sushang felt it wasn't easy.
However, she didn't work for long, as her Master was a craftsman and served food quite quickly.
"Alright, take your time eating. I'm heading up now."
"Mm, go ahead. Oh~ right, isn't Fu Hua, the Sect Master, a good cook? Why are you buying food down here?"
"This, uh... well, the other Ancestral Master wanted to try some local specialties, so I came down."
"Ah, I see. Then you must try it, this fried rice is amazing."
"Okay~ I'm already looking forward to it."
After saying goodbye to Paipai, Sushang, carrying the packed meals, headed towards the Taixu Sect.
Inside the mountain gate.
Since the afternoon training was still tiring.
A midday nap was essential.
In the bedroom, Fu Hua looked at Little Herrscher in front of her and said.
"Didn't I arrange a room for you?"
"That room hasn't been cleaned yet, so I'll just make do in yours for now."
Nodding, Fu Hua was about to agree when the Herrscher of Reason seemed to sense something.
She walked towards the outside.
"Um, Old Fossil, I suddenly remembered something. You sleep first~"
Watching her hurried back, Fu Hua shook her head.
"Sigh~ These two, oh well, let them be."
In the front yard, Li Sushang placed the ordered meals on the table.
Little Herrscher arrived very promptly as well.
"Yo~ good grand-disciple, what did you bring~"
"Fried rice, and fried pork chops and chicken legs."
"Nice! Let's eat quickly."
"Alright~"
The rice was coated in a rich, red tomato meat sauce.
Scooping up a large spoonful and putting it in her mouth, Sushang couldn't help but sigh.
"So fragrant~ There are quite a few delicious foods here."
Beside her, Little Herrscher was also eating with her mouth full of oil.
"I say, Ancestral Master~ Please talk to the Sect Master, I really can't bear to see our newly joined junior uncle suffer."
"The Old Fossil is a stubborn one, I don't think it'll be easy."
"I heard from the truck drivers from down the mountain.
Before we came, the Ancestral Master always cooked normal meals."
"Really? It's fine. My persuasion won't work, so how about this, we'll endure for a few days.
When my disciple can't take it anymore, we'll persuade her together."
"Alright, then I'll listen to you, Ancestral Master."
In the evening, it was another meal of steamed buns with Spring Never Ages, and Cuiji still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
The fifth day.
Hoshimi Miyabi said.
"Teacher, we have an urgent mission, we must take our leave."
"Mm, go. The mission is important, you can take your time with your cultivation duties."
"Yes, Teacher."
After speaking, Hoshimi Miyabi shot out of Taixu Mountain at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour.
"It seems the mission is indeed urgent."
Fu Hua took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Behind her, Little Herrscher and Sushang looked speechlessly at Fu Hua's retreating figure.
Two months passed.
Lunch break.
In front of the stone table in the front yard.
Cuiji frowned as she looked at the Herrscher of Reason.
"Master~ Didn't we agree you'd go down the mountain to buy food today? Why did you send Sushang again?"
"Sigh~ Show some care for the elderly. This master is just training my eldest grand-disciple."
"But you didn't go down the mountain three days ago either~"
"Cough, cough, young people... you need to have ambition, especially you, my disciple, at this starting stage.
Your foundation must be as solid as an old dog."
"Aunt, Ancestral Master, I've bought the food!!"
Li Sushang pushed the door open and walked in.
"Great, I can finally eat."
Cuiji rubbed her little hands and asked.
"Where's my hamburger?"
"Don't worry, Aunt, I bought the limited edition Big Mac."
Little Herrscher and Sushang looked at Cuiji hugging the hamburger with the expression of a Korean chaebol boss.
The time has come.
