In the next few days, Xue Fanxin played with the demonic beasts of the Moon Burial Ridge and spent a happy time with them. Every day, she played happily in the forest and rode the demonic beasts all over the Moon Burial Ridge to interact with them at an extremely close distance.
Under Xue Fanxin’s lead, the First Elder got along more and more happily with the demonic beasts. In the end, he could also ride on the backs of the demonic beasts and run in the forest.
While interacting with the demonic beasts, Xue Fanxin gave them a simple examination. If any of the demonic beasts had injuries or pain, she would treat them in time.
“I’ve already taken out the sharp thorns in your claws. Be careful in the future and don’t casually touch those sharp things.” Xue Fanxin treated a demonic beast and did not forget to remind it after that. Over the past few days, she had concocted quite a few medicines for injuries and distributed some to the demonic beasts. She had even taught them how to use them.
The demonic beasts kept what Xue Fanxin had given them like they were treasures. Because they knew that Xue Fanxin was leaving tomorrow, they were very unwilling to part with her. All of them were very depressed.
How could Xue Fanxin not know how the demonic beasts felt? However, she had to leave in the end. All she could do was come back often to see them.
“Everyone, don’t be sad. I’ll come back and see you when I’m free.”
“Forget about them, even I can’t bear to part.” The First Elder sat on the ground and kept stroking the fur of a demonic beast. He was really unwilling to leave.
He had been very happy recently. He had never been so happy before. Such happiness made him want to stay like this forever.
“First Elder, the Heavenly Spirit Sect is not far from here anyway. Furthermore, you’re so familiar with the demonic beasts here. You can come and play with them often in the future.” Xue Fanxin was carrying a little guy in her arms. She sat on the grass and basked in the sun. She looked at the groups of demonic beasts around her and felt that they were more and more cute.
“The Imperial City is not far from here. You can also come and play with them often,” the First Elder said.
From these words, it could be seen that the one he really could not bear to part with was Xue Fanxin.
“I’m very busy, so I won’t be free often. Furthermore, I won’t stay in the Imperial City for long.”
“What do you mean by not staying in the Imperial City for long? The Ninth Lord is the lord of the Ye Dynasty. Where can he go if he’s not in the Imperial City? Could it be that you want to go to the Nine Cloud Palace?”
Xue Fanxin did not answer the First Elder’s question. She only smiled and asked, “First Elder, what plans will you have in the future? Will you return to the Heavenly Spirit Sect and continue being the First Elder?”
The First Elder did not ask Xue Fanxin any more questions. Instead, he thought about his own matters and said with sorrow and hatred, “This Heavenly Spirit Sect is no longer the Heavenly Spirit Sect of the past. Most of the disciples in the sect entered through connections. Not to mention their mediocre talent, their characters are basically the same.
“There are countless bastards like Yu Shuangshuang and Qin Yang. The three great sects clearly say that they will go everywhere to recruit disciples every few years, but those spots for recruiting disciples will often be internally decided by various people in the sect. There are very few disciples who are really recruited from outside.
“This situation is the most serious in the Heavenly Spirit Sect. There is almost no fresh blood flowing into the sect. Everyone who comes and goes are descendants or relatives.”
How could such a Heavenly Spirit Sect have a future?
As the First Elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, he was already used to such things. He was not surprised and even felt numb.
“However, twenty years ago, an impressive genius appeared in the Flowing Cloud Sect. What was his name again? Oh right, his name was Xue Feichen.”
Xue Fanxin was originally not interested in the things about the Heavenly Spirit Sect the First Elder mentioned at all, but when she heard the name ‘Xue Feichen’, she was very shocked and asked excitedly, “First Elder, who were you talking about just now? Xue Feichen?”
