The fat white fish bit Jiang Xundao and didn't let go, Mu Chang stepped forward to pat it, and it immediately let go and jumped into the pond with a puff, and started playing around the aquatic plants. .

Jiang Xundao's hand still had a ring of tooth marks and the skin was torn. She hissed and shook her hand, complaining to Mu Chang that the fish bite was really painful.

"You made fun of it, Xiaobai never bites." Mu Shang took her to the peach tree, put down the food box, picked a green leaf from the medicine field beside it, crushed it and applied it to Jiang Xundao hand.

Jiang Xundao looked at the lump of green leaves stuck to his hand, and curled his lips: "I didn't know that the fish raised by Senior Sister Mu were so difficult to mess with."

"It's not raised by me. It flew here and landed in the pond by itself two years ago, and then lived there." Mu Shang shook his head, with a somewhat helpless expression. Xiaobai has lived in the pond for two years and has a docile personality. I don't know why Jiang Xundao got into it today.

"Flying fish? Can it still fly?" Jiang Xundao looked into the pond in surprise. The fat white fish was still circling around the aquatic plants, looking rather naive.

Mu Chang said with a smile: "Master said, this fish is called Flying Tail Spirit Fish. The meat is delicious and delicious. It is born with spirituality and will choose where to live."

When Jiang Xundao heard the words that the meat was delicious, he quickly raised his head and looked at Mu Chang in astonishment. Could it be that this fish was really raised by Senior Sister Mu for food? She hissed lightly and glanced at the pond: "Listen, Senior Sister Mu, Be careful it will bite you."

Mu Chang smiled without saying a word, and invited her to sit down, the two had something to eat, and Mu Chang wanted to take her to Zizhufeng for a walk.

Jiang Xundao curiously followed Mu Chang to wander around Zizhu Peak. All he saw were female disciples in Taoist robes. They respected Mu Chang very much. He saw Mu Chang leading the people and stopped at a distance. Step by step, when Mu Chang walked in, he saluted respectfully.

When passing the dojo on the top of Zizhu Peak, Jiang Xundao saw a group of disciples sitting cross-legged in the dojo with their eyes closed, as if they were cultivating, and an older woman stood in front of them, chanting aloud The Tao Te Ching, the sound is clear and long, and every time it falls, there will be a bell, which is not noisy, but it makes people calm down and stop to listen.

Jiang Xundao didn't dare to make a sound, stood in the distance with Mu Chang and watched for a while before walking away slowly.

Mu Shang explained to her that this is the morning class that new disciples of Qingyun Palace must do every morning, and senior senior sisters take turns to preside over it.

"Master has never been in charge of me. My practice has always been to rely on my own self-awareness." Seeing this scene, Jiang Xundao inevitably felt a little envious. The more people of her generation she saw, the more yearning she felt.

But Mu Chang interrupted her little thoughts.

"The disciples of the six major palaces of Qingyun Palace will have a routine assessment at the beginning of each month, and a competition will be held at the end of each year."

"Once a month?" Once a month is quite frequent, Jiang Xundao couldn't help asking: "If the cultivation base is not diligent, will there be punishment?"

"Of course, if you don't work hard, the monthly Gathering Pill will be halved." Mu Chang nodded.

Jiang Xundao was stunned when he heard the words. If the sects were so strict, then she thought about it, it would be much easier and happier for her to be raised by her master on the mountain.

If you are tired, you can play wildly with wild cranes and wild beasts in the mountains, and don't have to worry about any assessment competitions.

Knowing her character, Mu Chang asked with a smile, "According to your temperament, you probably don't like this way of cultivation."

"Does Senior Sister Mu like it?" Jiang Xundao asked her back.

Mu Chang didn't answer directly, but just smiled, and glanced at the tree beside him: "I've been used to it for a long time."

The two walked forward while chatting and laughing. Suddenly Jiang Xundao stopped in his tracks. She turned her head and looked behind her in doubt. Just now, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power behind her, as if someone was approaching.

"Qing Ling, don't mess around." Mu Chang stopped in her tracks, and she stretched out her hand to grab her side, and a figure appeared beside them in an instant.

It was a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a green robe, and she looked lovely. There was a tear mole under her beautiful peach blossoms. Maple pendant, while Mu Chang's wrist was firmly locked.

"I didn't expect my newly drawn Spirit Escape Talisman to be discovered by my senior sister so soon."

The little girl raised her head slightly to look at Mu Chang, her eyes seemed to be shining, her cheeks were slightly red and she smiled brightly.

"Didn't Master tell you to stay in the stone room and practice hard these two days? You sneaked out again?" Mu Chang frowned at her.

As soon as Mu Chang let go, she smiled and stretched out her hand to grab it, snatched Mu Chang's pendant easily, then shook it on her fingertips, ran a few steps away, and made a face at Mu Chang.

"Qing Ling, give it back to me." Mu Chang's face changed, and his expression became serious.

Qing Ling was taken aback by Mu Chang first, she never thought that such a small pendant would make the always good-tempered Mu Shang angry, but in front of a stranger, her smile faded, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes. Dark light, then pouted and stomped his feet aggrievedly, walked over angrily, and stuffed the pendant into Mu Chang's hand.

"It's okay to pay it back, such a broken thing made of a little magic, it's not a treasure, you won't even let me play with it."

Holding the pendant, Mu Chang said coldly: "Go back to practice, don't wait for Master to come back and punish you."

"No, Senior Sister, you finally came back. You will leave again in a few days, so I want to stay with you for a while." Qingling shook her head, and pressed her aggrievedly, hugging Mu Chang's arm and acting coquettishly. It seemed to shake.She didn't look at Jiang Xundao from the beginning to the end, as if she was not there. From the moment she appeared, she only had Mu Chang in her eyes. She acted like no one else, and seemed to be extremely dependent on Mu Chang.

Jiang Xundao watched from the side, but found that Mu Chang, who had always been gentle and kind to others, had a somewhat indifferent attitude towards this delicate and lovely junior sister, and the indifference was a bit strange.

Mu Chang pulled his hand out of Qing Ling's arms calmly, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone, "Nonsense."

But Qingling refused to let go, Mu Chang pulled her hand away and she hugged it up again, tightly hugged Mu Chang's hand, tilted her head to look at Jiang Xun with a smile on her face, and said, "Who is this person? Never seen."

There was a smile on that pretty face, but the smile didn't seem to reach the bottom of the eyes, as if it was a fake smile, staring at Jiang Xundao.

Jiang Xundao didn't like her for some reason, but he still smiled politely and said, "I'm a disciple of Yunqing Palace, Jiang Xundao."

"Yunqing Palace, I've never heard of it." Qingling curled her lips, looking at Jiang Xundao with contempt.

Mu Chang seemed to sense something, she pushed Qingling away, took a step back slightly to block Jiang Xundao behind her, and lightly reprimanded: "Xundao is a guest invited by the head, don't be rude."

Qingling snorted, and looked at Mu Chang aggrievedly, Taohua's eyes seemed to be filled with mist, as if she was about to cry: "Why am I being rude, I just said something that I haven't heard, I didn't I’ve heard about Yunqing Palace. He sneaked out of the stone room just to see Senior Sister, but Senior Sister is so indifferent to him.”

Mu Chang glanced at her indifferently: "Since you know you escaped, why don't you go back quickly."

"I hate Senior Sister." Qing Ling's complexion suddenly changed, as if she was becoming angry from embarrassment, she stared at Mu Shang with strange eyes, like extremely angry and coquettish, but her eyes were serious enough to make people think that what she said was true.

Mu Chang glanced at her coldly: "Understood, let's go back."

Qingling burst out laughing suddenly, she tilted her head and looked at Mu Shang: "I'll go back when I go back, but I will tell my mother today that I will go to live with my senior sister at night."

Mu Chang's reply was particularly cold: "Xun Dao has stayed in our courtyard, and I can't accommodate you."

"Really?" Qing Ling squinted her eyes, looked playfully at Jiang Xundao who was standing behind Mu Chang, and raised the corners of her lips with a smile.

"Forget it, if you want to mess around, do it yourself, Xundao, let's go." Mu Shang frowned slightly and stopped looking at her, reached out to hold Jiang Xundao's hand, and pulled her forward.

Jiang Xundao looked confused, she followed Mu Chang's footsteps, and after walking a few steps, she felt that the gaze behind her was still staring at her, so she looked back.

The girl named Qing Ling stood motionless, looking at her with a smile on her face. She had a pretty and immature cheek, but her eyes were full of playfulness and sternness.

The look in her eyes made Jiang Xundao get goosebumps all over his body, like a layer of cold sweat broke out under the scorching sun.

After she was stunned for a moment, she looked intently, only to see that Qingling's expression had changed, her smile seemed to have changed as well, and she even waved her hand in a friendly manner.

Jiang Xundao turned around, feeling a little weird in his heart. This little girl who appeared out of nowhere made her feel subconsciously afraid. What the hell is going on.

After walking for a while, Mu Chang let go of Jiang Xundao's hand, and said helplessly, "Her name is Qingling, she is my little junior sister and the only daughter of Master. She has a weird temper since she was a child, so don't pay attention to her." .If you see her in the future, just avoid it."

Jiang Xundao hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "Senior Sister Mu, she...she doesn't seem to like me very much."

Mu Chang frowned, as if thinking about it: "She doesn't like anyone. She has been in poor health since she was a child. Master has kept her locked in the stone room in the back mountain. She rarely contacts with the brothers and sisters of the same school. She has a weird temperament." some."

More than being weird, Qing Ling was the most out of place person in Qingyun Palace.

When the master was pregnant with Qingling, he once fought against others, and even though he won, he was still pregnant. As a result, Qingling was born prematurely, her health has always been poor, and she is most afraid of heat, so the master raised her in the cool and cold place behind the mountain in the stone chamber.

Although she is in poor health, Qingling is very talented, especially good at spells, and has a rebellious temperament. When she was 12 years old, in a competition, she was supposed to hit the point, but she secretly used the forbidden spell to seriously injure a senior brother. Nearly died.

The head of the sect wanted to punish her severely, but for the sake of her master, she was only fined and grounded for a year, and she was not allowed to participate in the sect competition in the future.

Even so, people in the sect also treated her as a freak. Only Mu Shang felt sorry for her when she was young and kept locked up in the center of the stone room, so she often went to the back mountain to be her companion.

At first, Mu Chang thought that she didn't know the severity of the injury and was curious about the forbidden spell, so she missed it.

But the more we get along, the more Mu Chang finds out that her little junior sister is not ignorant of the world, but rather precocious. She seems to have little empathy, and she has a rock-like heart for people and things.

Afterwards, Mu Shang competed with a senior brother from Xiangdi Palace. She thought it would be a fierce battle, but she didn't want to win easily. When she was confused, she accidentally discovered that the senior brother was secretly fed before the competition. Binding pill, and that person is Qing Ling.

When she went to question her, Qing Ling told her as if claiming credit for how she had lured that senior brother to take the binding pill without anyone noticing, and even felt that she was helping Mu Shang, wishing that Mu Shang could praise her.

After knowing this, Mu Chang told her master that she wanted to report the matter to the head of the sect again, but the master begged her not to spread it to the outside world. A thorn has been firmly nailed to the heart.

After this incident, Master took strict care of Qingling. Even though he had been in Zizhufeng all the time, Mu Chang hadn't seen Qingling for two years. He didn't expect to meet Qingling who slipped out of the stone room today.

Qingling seemed to have grown up, but her temperament remained the same. As soon as she saw her, Mu Shang recalled the past, thinking of the senior brother who was plotted by Qingling to be defeated by her.

Naturally, Mu Chang couldn't tell Jiang Xundao about these things, but he walked all the way, so he couldn't help worrying. Jiang Xundao talked to her several times and called her a few times before she came back to her senses.
