That day, the four little ones went to the back mountain of the Flowing Moon Sect as Qing Mo instructed. They heard that Qing Mo had found them a mentor to teach them principles!
Wang Weixiu looked at Qu Ziyun and asked, "Junior sister, the Ancestor always dotes on you the most. What kind of mentor did he find for us this time?"
Qu Ziyun shook her head and pouted, replying, "I don't know, the Ancestor didn't tell me! Senior Sister, do you know about the mentor the Ancestor found for us?"
Xia Qiyue shook her head and then said, "No! But I'm also very curious about who this mentor is? How could the patriarch personally bring him back to the sect to teach us!"
Seeing the three of them still pondering the identity of their mentor, Liu Minghua immediately laughed and said, "What's there to guess? We'll find out when we get there! Since the ancestor found the mentor for us, he certainly won't be bad!"
After all, our ancestor has very high standards. We just need to learn from him/her properly and not let him/her down!
At this moment, Qing Mo found a stream in the back mountain of the Flowing Moon Sect. He placed the Tree Demon Matriarch he had brought back there. As soon as he took her out, the entire tree was immediately excited to the extreme!
Because she sensed a rich spiritual energy, and the stream beside her was like a spiritual spring to the Tree Demon Matriarch. As long as this stream continued to irrigate her tree trunk, it would be much better than absorbing the life essence of mortals at Lanruo Temple!
The Tree Demon Matriarch immediately transformed into human form, knelt down in front of Qing Mo, and shouted loudly, "Thank you, Great Immortal, for bringing this little demon to the Immortal Cultivation World and finding such an auspicious place for me!"
"Thank you so much, Great Immortal! I am deeply grateful and will never forget your kindness! From now on, I will go through fire and water for you, Great Immortal!"
After Qing Mo found a rock to sit on, she looked at the Tree Demon Matriarch and said, "No need to go through fire and water. With your little arms and legs, you're not even good enough to warm them up!"
From now on, stay obediently within my sect and impart your understanding of human nature and human sentiments to my descendants. This will at least prevent them from being deceived when they go out to train and end up helping the deceivers count their money!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, the Tree Demon Matriarch nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely share her understanding of human nature and humanity with Qing Mo's descendants so that they could better protect themselves when they went out to train!
As Wang Weixiu and his three companions approached the location Qing Mo had indicated, they sensed something was amiss. Why was there demonic energy in the back mountain, and why did this demonic energy also contain a hint of resentment and a bloody smell?
The four little ones immediately flew quickly towards the direction from which the demonic aura was emanating. When they saw Qing Mo sitting on a rock smoking, an old woman dressed in a Black Robe, looking like an old palace maid, was standing next to him!
When the four little ones came to Qing Mo, they could feel even more clearly that the faint demonic aura was emanating from this old woman, and that the old woman's cultivation level was pitifully low, even lower than before they met their ancestor!
Then Qing Mo looked at the four little ones, pointed to the Tree Demon Matriarch beside her and said, "This is the mentor that I found for you. Don't look down on her because her cultivation is not high. Her understanding of people's hearts and human nature is much deeper and more thorough than yours!"
From today onwards, whenever you have time, come to the back mountain and ask her about these issues, so that you won't be easily fooled by a few kind words when you go out to gain experience!
Before the four little ones could speak, Qing Mo continued speaking to the Tree Demon Matriarch, "These four are the juniors I care about most. You must teach them well. If I find out that you dare not teach them diligently, I will chop you up and burn you for firewood!"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, the Tree Demon Matriarch immediately bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Great Immortal, I will answer all your questions without reservation!"
At this moment, Xia Qiyue spoke up, "Ancestor, why does she exude demonic energy all over her body? Is she not human?"
Qu Ziyun nodded in agreement, then said, "Yes! Ancestor, the resentment and bloodlust emanating from her are quite strong; Xiao Yun doesn't like it!"
Qing Mo smiled and waved to Qu Ziyun, who immediately skipped over to Qing Mo's side. Qing Mo pinched Qu Ziyun's cheek and said, "She's not human, she's just a thousand-year-old tree that has cultivated into a spirit. You can call her Grandma!"
Don't let her low cultivation level fool you; she has a thousand years of experience, something you don't have!
Although she has eaten people before, she only ate bad people! Moreover, she has witnessed countless instances of the ugliness of human nature, and her understanding of human nature is beyond what you have reached, which is why you should learn from her!
After all, you can't stay in the sect forever; sooner or later you'll all Ascension the upper realm to carve out your own path. So, what you lack right now is an understanding of the beauty and ugliness of human nature!
After hearing Qing Mo's explanation, the four little ones nodded as if they understood. Since Qing Mo asked them to learn about the beauty and ugliness of human nature from this Tree Demon Matriarch, they would definitely work hard and learn well from the Tree Demon Matriarch so as not to disappoint Qing Mo!
Before Mo Li the back mountain of the Flowing Moon Sect, he instructed the four little ones and others to tell the other newly initiated disciples about this news, so that those disciples could come and learn when they had time!
Then Qing Mo found Little Tail and Yinzi, who were still playing around. These two little guys were running around the sect every day. One day they were stealing spirit fruits from the Alchemy Peak material room, and the next day they were sleeping in the Formation Peak classroom!
When Qing Mo caught Little Tail, he was still eating spirit fruit in the Alchemy Peak material room, and he was even eating it in front of the disciple guarding the material room. Yinzi was also very considerate and stayed by Little Tail's side. The disciple guarding the material room acted as if he didn't see anything!
After all, these two were their ancestor's pets. No one would say anything if they ate them. Qing Mo suddenly felt that Da Bai was more obedient. It would sleep when it was not busy and would not run around!
After greeting the guarding disciple, Qing Mo left Alchemy Peak carrying the two little ones in each hand. Even while being carried by Qing Mo, the Little Tail was still trying its best to finish the spiritual fruit it was holding!
Immediately, Qing Mo and Ren Tianye stood on the head of Yinzi, who had regained his true form, and flew towards the Heavenly Cloud Sect with the betrothal gifts. Along the way, countless people saw Yinzi reveal his true form again and felt that this was the true appearance of a great power!
When Qing Mo and Ren Tianye arrived at the Heavenly Cloud Sect, they were once again warmly received by everyone in the Heavenly Cloud Sect.
When they saw the thousands of top-grade spirit swords, dozens of top-grade cultivation techniques, tens of thousands of pills of grade seven or higher, as well as those top-grade array plates and countless special-grade spirit stones that were presented as betrothal gifts, the entire Heavenly Cloud Sect was once again in an uproar!
Upon seeing the betrothal gifts, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Cloud Sect were all smiles, with several elders bursting into laughter on the spot. After Ren Tianye and Yun Tianchen discussed for more than an hour, they decided to choose an auspicious day next month to hold the wedding for the two juniors, Wang Weixiu and Liang Shuying!
During the discussion, they called Liang Shuying over to ask for her opinion. When she heard that the Flowing Moon Sect had sent such a generous betrothal gift and that she would be marrying into the Flowing Moon Sect next month, she nodded shyly, her face redder than a fully ripe apple!
In just two days, the news spread throughout the Linhai Continent once again. After countless forces learned about the betrothal gifts that the Flowing Moon Sect had given to the Heavenly Cloud Sect, not one of them was not envious and jealous!
As expected, the Flowing Moon Sect is incredibly wealthy and powerful now that it has the backing of Qing Mo, a top expert. The entire seventh-grade pills in the entire Linhai Continent probably don't even amount to a thousand, yet they only gave a dowry of tens of thousands of pills!
And then there are those top-grade spirit swords, cultivation techniques, and array plates! Each of these items is top-tier in the Linhai Continent, and they're given away in huge quantities. This has driven everyone in the Linhai Continent, except for the Flowing Moon Sect and the Heavenly Cloud Sect, to the point of madness with envy!
This sparked a thought in the minds of those forces attending the wedding banquet: they must bring young women from their sects or families along, just in case a disciple of the Flowing Moon Sect takes a liking to one of their women.
Moreover, the women brought along cannot be careless in terms of cultivation and character. After all, they have heard that when the Flowing Moon Sect selects disciples and elders, the first thing they value is character. If someone has poor character, no matter how talented they are, they will not be accepted!
Therefore, the women to be brought along must be strictly selected. It's not that you can bring any woman to the wedding banquet. If your conduct is not up to par and you upset the guests, then it will really be a loss!
In a short time, all the forces on the Linhai Continent began to strictly select women of excellent character and cultivation in their own sects or families. In the end, they could only bring one of them over. It can be said that this was several times stricter than the requirements when the Flowing Moon Sect recruited elders!
However, it wasn't just other forces making preparations; the people of our Flowing Moon Sect were also actively preparing for the wedding. Ren Tianye was even directing the preparations on-site, since he had raised Wang Weixiu since he was a child, and now his disciple was getting married!
As the master, he was definitely very concerned. Even Xia Qiyue, Qu Ziyun, and Liu Minghua were very happy. Finally, in their generation, they had the ability to marry a female disciple from another sect!
Upon hearing that he could marry Liang Shuying next month, Wang Weixiu was excited for three days and three nights straight. He had originally planned to ask Qing Mo, the ancestor, for Yinzi to go with Da Bai to fetch the bride!
Qing Mo said he would discuss this matter with Yinzi and Da Bai himself, and whether he could get them to help him depended on his abilities. Since his wife had already made the reservations, he would definitely have to figure out how to handle the scale of the event himself!
Then Wang Weixiu found the three little Da Bai sleeping. He smiled and looked at Da Bai, saying, "Grandpa Bai, Yinzi Yinzi! I have a favor to ask. On the day of the wedding, could you two please temporarily revert to your true forms to help me out?"
Upon hearing Wang Weixiu's words, Da Bai immediately asked, "Is this what the master requested?"
Wang Weixiu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then lowered his head and smiled, "The Ancestor didn't make that request. He just told me that if I wanted you two to help me make a show of things, I would have to find a way myself!"
So, didn't I just shamelessly come here?
Upon hearing what Wang Weixiu had said, Da Bai and Yinzi immediately shifted to a more comfortable sleeping position and exclaimed in unison, "No way!"
As for the Little Tail, Wang Weixiu didn't consider it. After all, it was currently fast asleep on Da Bai's belly, and the Little Tail didn't seem to have any other use besides being cute!
Of course, aside from its gluttony and playfulness, it's basically useless! So Wang Weixiu didn't take it into consideration!
Upon hearing Da Bai and Yinzi Zi's reply, Wang Weixiu's face fell. Da Bai continued, "You wanted us to back you up, but you didn't even offer any support. Do you think we're just Da Bai?"
Yinzi quickly chimed in, "That's right! We're a real dragon and a divine White Tiger, after all! You think you can just make us work with a few words? You're dreaming!"
Hearing that there was still a chance, Wang Weixiu immediately said, "Haven't Senior Sister Xia and Junior Sister Qu not cooked for a long time? Then I'll ask them to prepare a few more dishes for you two?"
Upon hearing this, Da Bai and Yinzi twitched their ears and tails involuntarily, but they remained asleep, not even bothering to open their eyes!
However, seeing that the two foodies seemed to have a reaction, Wang Weixiu quickly said, "How about I ask Senior Sister Xia and Junior Sister Qu to arrange a separate table for the two of you, with no less than eighteen dishes per table?"
Upon hearing this, Da Bai and Yinzi immediately opened their eyes, but neither of them spoke first. Instead, a cat and a miniature white dragon stared at each other!
Yinzi's gaze towards Da Bai seemed to say, "This looks promising? It's just a matter of reverting to our true forms and flying around for a bit. We haven't had any food cooked by those two little girls in ages!"
Da Bai responded to Yinzi with his eyes, as if to say, "What's the rush? I know there's potential. I've been craving those two girls' cooking for so long, but they just wouldn't make it before, so there was nothing we could do!"
But would we have any pride if we agreed to this kid's offer so easily? Let's hold our tongues and not rush things! Let's see if we can squeeze out a little more; one meal wasn't enough to satisfy our cravings!
Yinzi understood what Da Bai's look was trying to say and immediately responded with his own eyes, "That's right, let's hold back and try to make as much money as we can!"
The cat and the dragon exchanged a silent conversation in the blink of an eye. They immediately closed their eyes again and resumed their previous sleeping posture, but their ears were constantly waiting to see if Wang Weixiu intended to add a table!
Wang Weixiu thought he could win over these two foodies, but to his surprise, they only made eye contact for two seconds before going back to sleep!
This plunged Wang Weixiu into self-doubt. It didn't make sense! Just moments ago, when they heard they'd be given a separate table, both of them opened their eyes at the same speed! Why did they suddenly close them again?
Wang Weixiu thought for a moment and then spoke again, "Add one more table, two tables in total! I'll ask Senior Sister Xia and Junior Sister Qu to prepare two separate tables for you two, with the same specifications as before! Eighteen dishes per table!"
Upon hearing this, Da Bai and Yinzi opened their eyes simultaneously again. This time, they weren't going to remain silent any longer. Da Bai immediately spoke up, "Kid, you said it! You can't go back on your word!"
Yinzi quickly chimed in, "Yes! No going back on your word! We heard everything clearly!"
After seeing that Da Bai and Yinzi had agreed, Wang Weixiu immediately said that he would never go back on his word. Da Bai and Yinzi then said that they would definitely help him make a good impression on the day he went to pick up the bride!
