Seeing Ding Yi scratch her head with a distressed expression, Mu Yueshi tried hard to remember and stutteringly added: “I couldn’t find you after I woke up. I was very scared, so I ran outside to look for you… Then… Then, I don’t know what was wrong with me. It seemed like someone told me where you were, and then I really found you.”
Ding Yi keenly caught the keyword, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: “Someone told you? Who?”
Mu Yueshi lowered his eyes and said dejectedly: “I don’t remember.”
There was nothing she could do if he could not remember. Ding Yi felt that it was such a pity, but she still reached out to rub his hair while saying, “It’s alright, don’t think about it if you cannot remember.”
After all, the jade was still nicely in her hands. Such a matter could not be rushed. When the system returns, she will ask what is going on.
She has to take things as they come.
Ding Yi adapted to the situation quickly, but she was now unable to move freely, and thus she was very limited in ways to inquire about any news.
Fortunately, the smart little boy Mu Yueshi was there. He quietly shuttled among the adults to gather information, and Ding Yi was fortunate enough to hear a lot of gossip about those onboard.
As expected, after the accident, the Dan family indeed fell. As soon as the scandal of abducting and smuggling women to practise alchemy spread, mortal cultivators everywhere were discussing the matter.
Ding Yi could not help but sigh as she listened to the difficulties of the Dan family. They were tortured like that all because of the deceiving background setting in the book? Later on when the original tragic plot came through, would it overturn heaven?
In the inconsistent fantasy world, Ding Yi felt that even a cannon fodder like her was not safe.
Not to mention, now all of a sudden, she has the identity of a devil cultivator. Who knows if one day Lu Liheng will be in a bad mood and stab her with a knife?
And it just so happens that, in the future, Mu Yueshi must take him as his teacher. As his guardian with a criminal record, would it affect the brother’s brilliant future?
Oh dear, life was really difficult.
Ding Yi was letting her imagination go wild and did not notice when Mu Yueshi came to her. He did not make a sound and silently followed her.
As Ding Yi turned her head, she saw a small black-haired child staring blankly at her.
Actually, after she woke up, she faintly discovered that Mu Yueshi seemed to be very clingy to her, almost to the point of not leaving her side. Well? Could that incident really have left him traumatized?
That was absolutely impossible!
So Ding Yi immediately put on the gentle expression of a confidant and asked: “What’s the matter? Are you upset? Or do you have something to say to me?”
Mu Yueshi raised his eyes to meet Ding Yi’s ardent gaze and subconsciously evaded it.
But he also felt that Ding Yi treated him with no reservations and that it was shameful to avoid her, so he confessed in a constrained tone: “Ding Yi. Master Lu asked me if I would like to go to Yuling Mountain to cultivate.”
When Ding Yi heard it, she was overjoyed and excitedly said: “Is it true?! That is a good thing! Master Lu is willing to accept you as a disciple. That is something others seek but fail to get. How did you reply?”
That’s very good!
If Lu Liheng accepted Mu Yueshi as a disciple now, it would have simplified matters for her! The progress bar could be completed by half earlier than expected!
Ding Yi’s beam of excitement was too obvious. Mu Yueshi’s face slightly darkened, and he coldly said: “I don’t want to.”
Ding Yi thought she misheard it, and her smile stiffened, “What?”
Mu Yueshi dully said: “I don’t want to.”
Ding Yi’s face fell, and she cried, “Why?”
Such a good opportunity, why on earth would you not want it?
Brother, do you know that according to the normal plot, when you enter the sect in the future, you have to fight against the male lead! Not to mention that it would require much effort, you might still be attacked by someone before you can formally become his apprentice. Why bother going through all that? !
“Why don’t you want to? If you can enter Master Lu’s sect and learn the skills earlier, then you don’t have to live your life in fear. Isn’t that great?” Ding Yi tried to persuade him, but she did not finish her words when Mu Yueshi interrupted her with a sullen face: “No.”
“It is not good at all!”
Ding Yi could not understand at all. Not good? Why was that not good?
