Chapter 240: Foolish Disciple

“Master.” Qiao Mu turned to look at her master. “Why do you keep pinching my cheeks?”

Murong Xun said without missing a beat. “You’re stoic! So Master is squeezing your cheeks to see when your face will become more spirited!”

Qiao Mu: “…”

Murong Xun kept chuckling and placed the child onto a stool. She took out a map scroll from her sleeves and stuffed it into the child’s hand. “Do you know Five Moon City? It’s quite far from the Mo Kingdom. After you leave the northern region of Sikong Planet, head to the west for the grand snowy mountains outside of Five Moon City. That’s where the main altar of our Holy Water Sect is located.”

“Although there’s a large conglomeration of kingdoms existing side by side in the northern region, the Mo Kingdom is formidable and essentially rules over the northern region. Hence, the northern region doesn’t become that chaotic no matter how chaotic the area becomes.”

“The western region is different, however. There are a lot of tribes and ethnic groups in the western region, so it’s very chaotic. There are all kinds of large battles on display every day, so I’m afraid there’s a lot of mutated corpses there too.” Murong Xun patted the child, who wore a lost expression. “Should Master leave someone here to wait for you and bring you back to the sect later?”

Qiao Mu quickly shook her head. She was not a true seven-year-old child who needed an adult to take her to school. Moreover, two months was a considerable amount of time, so how could she interfere with her senior sisters’ cultivation time?

“Girl, didn’t Master say you can be willful and act spoiled with Master whenever you want? Your sensibility makes Master’s heart ache.” Murong Xun kneaded Qiao Mu’s icy face. “When you go to the sect to cultivate, you will leave behind everything in the secular world. Perhaps you won’t be able to come home for three to five years, but it might take up to eight to ten years. It’s good for you to stay behind longer and have a proper farewell and enjoy your time with your family.”

“Yes.” Qiao Mu docilely nodded.

“On our sect’s Great Snow Mountains, there’s a mystical treasured land that’s so rich in mystic energy that it’s beyond your imagination! I’m sure you will like it a lot, my disciple. Come quickly, alright? Foolish disciple, don’t make Master wait too long.” After Murong Xun finished saying all of this, she finally finished pinching Qiao Mu’s cheeks. She handsomely left through the window and left behind those tantalizing words before departing.

‘Really! Murong Xun must have done it on purpose! Some treasured land that’s so rich in mystic energy I can’t imagine it… Ah, it’s so freaking alluring!’

“Masta, Masta, Masta! Let’s go now! Mystical treasured land! Its name alone sounds awesome! The mystic energy there must be really, really rich and profuse! I want to suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, s-s-suck!” Qiuqiu’s exaggerated voice rang in her mind.

“Shut up, be quiet! I’ll take you there in two months.” Qiao Mu yawned with fatigue. She was truly exhausted from this busy day.

She climbed onto the bed and rolled into her thin blanket, curling herself into a cocoon. Even her head was buried inside the thin blanket, exposing only her head of dark hair.

Qiao Mu closed her eyes and glittering droplets of sweat scattered across her forehead, which was hidden in the blanket. In truth, she did not need to envelop herself so tightly in such blistering hot weather. However, she was used to it. She felt like the tighter she bundled herself, the… safer she felt.

The next day, Qiao Mu was woken up by the intense noon sun that shone onto her eyes.

Wrapped inside the blanket, the child was drenched in sweat. She shook the blanket off of her and got out of bed. After washing up and changing into clean and cool clothing, Qiao Mu descended down the stairs.

She actually slept until noon! She was truly exhausted yesterday. Her physical fatigue was secondary to her mental fatigue though.
