But looking at my junior sister, she didn't seem to have that feeling at all, which was truly amazing.

"Senior sister, don't worry, Master is actually very easy to talk to."

Immortal Venerable Wanghan easy to talk to?

I doubt the entire Cultivation World thinks that way.

Qiaoqiao winked at her, "When Master comes, I'll demonstrate for you."

Although she didn't know how to demonstrate it, Wen Zhi couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Time passed quickly, and three days later, the group set off to leave Envy Fish City. Before Yaoling's carriage could even start moving, they were stopped by the people lining the roadside.

"Fairy Wen, thank you for saving Envy Fish City."

"Thank you, esteemed immortals!"

"These are fresh fruits and vegetables from our backyard! Fairy, have a taste, they were just picked, they're so sweet!"

"And my hen just laid an egg! Fairy, please take the hen away too, it can lay eggs!"

Three days ago, Wen Zhi developed a Pill Formula for the epidemic. The news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Envy Fish City. The epidemic that had plagued the people of Envy Fish City for so long was finally resolved. Wen Zhi's name was remembered by everyone, and some even gave her the title of "Sacred Alchemist". Her reputation resounded throughout Envy Fish City.

Seeing her third senior sister surrounded by enthusiastic people, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile.

In her dream, Liu Xiu received such treatment. He tricked his senior sister out of the Pill Formula and transformed himself into the savior of the people of Envy Fish City. The people were unaware that the person they were grateful to was the very culprit who had harmed them.

Thankfully, things didn't turn out the way they did in the dream.

It's all thanks to her, this champion of justice!

Qiaoqiao was all smiles when, unexpectedly, an older woman next to her stuffed a little pig into her arms.

"Girl, this is our newest piglet. It's delicious as roast suckling pig! You're so thin, you need to eat some more!"

Qiaoqiao looked down and met the gaze of the little piglet in her arms.

The little piglet grunted.

Qiaoqiao couldn't help but slurp her saliva.

Who can resist the aroma of roast suckling pig? Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

She carried the piglet to find her eldest brother, and when she squeezed through the crowd, she saw that he was surrounded by a group of aunties, who were looking at him with loving eyes.

"The Immortal Master has truly had a difficult time, making such a sacrifice to uncover the truth..."

"You've suffered, Immortal Master..."

"How about we have an old hen to nourish you, Immortal Master Shen!"

Everyone surrounded Shen Ji, chattering amongst themselves with sympathy. Even the Profound Heaven Sect disciples who were just watching the spectacle said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you've endured humiliation this time; everyone will remember you."

"Yes."

In the crowd, someone shoved an old hen into his arms. Startled, the hen flapped its wings incessantly, and two feathers instantly stuck to the handsome face of the eldest disciple...

His expression at that moment could only be described as gloomy.

Through the crowd, he spotted Qiaoqiao, who was about to slip away.

"Qiaoqiao."

Seeing her eldest brother's face, which was so dark it seemed to drip water, Qiaoqiao instinctively shrank back and hid behind her second and third senior sisters. "Eldest brother, I didn't mean to..."

She had only mentioned the story of her eldest brother and the rat demon while shopping with her second senior sister yesterday, and who would have thought the rumors would spread so quickly?

The news that "Fellow Shen Ji of Ethereal Peak was captured by the Rat Demon in order to find out the truth and suffered all kinds of torture in the hands of the Rat Demon" spread everywhere and throughout the city overnight. The very next day, a play was performed on the stage!

It must be said that the people's ability to take action is truly astonishing.

Qiaoqiao felt wronged; her senior brother's reputation had been damaged, and she hadn't done it on purpose!

"Senior Brother," Xiao Tingyu said, "Qiaoqiao really didn't mean it; someone overheard her by accident."

Shen Ji looked at Qiaoqiao again. Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes, feigning pitifulness, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Cluck cluck!"

"Wow, the hen laid an egg!" Qiaoqiao exclaimed excitedly in an instant.

Shen Ji:...

I want to eat scrambled eggs with toon sprouts!

"I'll make it for you when we get to Heavenly Secrets City," Wen Zhi said.

Xiao Tingyu has already opened the Jade Slip and is buying fresh toon leaves at a high price.

Shen Ji's expression was complicated: Do you guys have to spoil her like this?

If my fourth junior brother were here, he would definitely say, "Who gave up their chance to comprehend the Dao before the Liuli Divine Lamp and can still say such a thing?"

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic citizens of Envy Fish City, Yaoling's carriage sped forward.

Having been delayed here for several days, and with the sect competition starting today, they finally arrived at Heavenly Secrets City before sunset.

Upon entering the city gate, one sees a magnificent phoenix relief standing at the entrance. The avenue is wide and orderly, wide enough for four or five carriages to travel side by side. The city gate is towering and majestic, with spiritual pearls embedded in its upturned eaves. The grandeur of this city gate alone surpasses that of Envy Fish City by more than ten times, and is even more magnificent than the mountain gate of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

The lifelike phoenix on the city gate is a symbol of Song Wuya, the master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

Heavenly Secrets City in Zhongzhou is not only the headquarters of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, but also the largest city in Zhongzhou where cultivators gather. Most of the passersby on the road are cultivators, some carrying swords and others riding mounts.

Even as the sun sets, the crowds remain thick and the atmosphere is still lively.

Qiaoqiao bid farewell to A-Qi at the city gate. As a strange beast, it never liked crowded and lively places. It was going to visit A Xue at the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Qiaoqiao craned her neck to look around, but didn't see the elegant, otherworldly figure in white. Just as she was feeling a little disappointed, she suddenly heard someone call her, "Junior Sister."

Turning their heads, they saw that it was Fu Fengyuan had brought disciples from the Flowing Cloud Sect to pick them up.

Under the setting sun, the young man stood tall and straight, his eyebrows and eyes as thick as swords, his dark eyes radiating confidence. In just one month, Fu Fengyuan, who had picked up his sword again, had been completely transformed. His temperament was completely different from before. Standing there, he already had the aura of the young master of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
