"Little princess, this palm strike is a lesson for you. Don't trust others so easily."
A voice like a devil's whisper rang in Yaohua's ear. Before she could react, she flew uncontrollably towards her master.
Time seemed to slow down suddenly, stretching out so long that Yaohua could even recall things from a long time ago.
The faint fragrance from her master filled her nostrils, interrupting her train of thought.
"Master, I..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she choked and vomited mouthfuls of blood.
"Don't talk."
Her master's voice was also trembling. Was he very scared?
Was she going to die then?
Yaohua suddenly felt a bit worried. She raised her hand, trying to cover her master's eyes.
Don't look.
Chongming turned his head away, with a glint in his eyes.
"Yaohua, listen to your master. Open your eyes."
But master, I'm so sleepy.
"Your Highness, please let go of the little princess."
"Yaohua, Yaohua..."
"Attention! Attention! The host's life is in danger. The system will forcibly enter the sleep mode!"
Why did the system come out too?
Yaohua seemed to have a dream.
A very long dream.
In the dream, her sixth elder brother was holding a pile of magical artifacts and smiling at her. He told her to pick her favorite one, but after she picked it, he deliberately didn't give it to her until several other elder brothers came out.
"You're the most idle one on weekdays. You've come here to bully your younger sister again!"
Her third elder brother must be pulling the sixth elder brother's ear again.
Humph, serves him right for teasing her.
"I just thought my sister was bored here alone."
"Good! You still dare to argue!"
The sixth elder brother's whining voice gradually became clearer. Only then did Yaohua realize that this might be real.
She tried to open her eyes.
"Don't hit me. Look, is our sister about to wake up?"
Yaohua finally opened her eyes.
The light was a bit glaring, but fortunately, her elder brothers were tall and blocked a lot of it for her.
But...
Why were they all surrounding her?
"Elder brothers, what are you doing?" As soon as she spoke, Yaohua realized that her chest felt stuffy and painful.
"We came to see you, sister. How do you feel now?"
Recalling what had happened before, her heart skipped a beat. Her gaze swept over the faces of her elder brothers one by one. When she saw the sixth elder brother with puffy eyes coming closer, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the sixth elder brother had been saved.
"My chest feels a bit stuffy."
As soon as Yaohua finished speaking, her elder brothers immediately pushed each other and scattered.
"How about now?"
"Much better." Yaohua felt a warmth in her heart. "How did I get back? Where's my master?"
"It was the divine lord who brought you back." Thinking of the scene at that time, Yan Ling's face looked a bit ugly. He wanted to say something but held back. "After the divine lord brought you back, he returned to the Celestial Realm."
Yaohua was stunned. "Did master say anything?"
Yan Ling replied reluctantly, "The divine lord said that you should go to the Celestial Realm to find him after you recover from your injury."
He slowly raised his hand, and the token hanging on his finger immediately fell into Yaohua's arms. "This is what the divine lord left for you."
This was her master's Celestial Realm token!
Her master not only found it but also gave it to her!
Yaohua held the token in her hands, not knowing where to put it.
Such a precious thing. What if she lost it?
"Our sister treasures the things the divine lord gave her very much."
As soon as Mo Qing said this with a mischievous smile, he was immediately beaten up by the others.
"You still have the nerve to talk. If it weren't for your stupidity, would our sister have been seriously injured by that Dian Zhu?"
"Did master catch Dian Zhu?" Yaohua couldn't help asking.
She hadn't verified what Dian Zhu had said at that time, and she was also a bit confused about the fact that Dian Zhu had secretly attacked her in the end.
Qi Hua had already asked her master to protect Dian Zhu. Why did she go to such lengths and put Qi Hua in an unjust situation?
It seemed that their father - daughter relationship had been fine before.
What on earth was Dian Zhu up to?
Yan Ling shook his head. "Dian Zhu escaped, but the patriarch of the Pheasant Clan has been taken back to the Celestial Realm by the divine lord. Maybe he will be executed soon."
"Executed?"
Yaohua was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. "Didn't master promise to spare Qi Hua?"
Why did he go back on his word?
Was it because Dian Zhu had injured her?
"I don't know about this." Yan Ling shook his head. "Sister, you should recover from your injury first. Then go and ask the divine lord yourself."
"I think I can go and ask master now." Yaohua stretched out her arms and showed a cute smile.
Although her chest still hurt a little, it didn't matter.
"The divine lord said that it will take at least two years for your injury to completely heal." Feng Jing poked her forehead and said with a smile, "During these two years, you should stay in the clan to recuperate. By the way, you can't stop practicing."
Yaohua thought this was just a reminder, but unexpectedly, in the next two years, Feng Jing personally supervised her, for fear that she would be a bit lazy.
These days...
It was really unbearable!
Yaohua wanted to cry but had no tears.
Two years later, Yaohua quietly slipped out of Danxue Mountain with a small burden on her back.
"Your injury has already healed. Are you still afraid that they will stop you?"
The system's voice sounded in Yaohua's mind.
"What do you know? This is what I call just in case!"
Yaohua deliberately emphasized the last four words.
For some reason, after her cultivation advanced by one - tenth a year ago, the system, which had rarely talked to her before, suddenly became talkative.
"Sometimes you might as well help me keep an eye on my land. Are my rice crops ripe again?"
Relying on the fertile soil, Yaohua had planted many new crop seeds in the past two years.
Although she was going to run away, as long as the rice was ripe, she could still ask the system to secretly throw it on the way of one of her elder brothers.
The system was silent for a while. "Warm reminder: The fertilizer stored by the host has been used up. Please replenish it in time."
Yaohua rolled her eyes.
She quickly came to Cangling Hall.
She hadn't been here for a long time. Seeing the familiar sight, Yaohua almost shed tears.
Master, I'm coming!
She skillfully sneaked into her master's study.
The study was cold and there was no sign of life at all.
Yaohua was just feeling strange and was about to go out to look for her master when she met an acquaintance.
"Brother Luran!"
Luran turned around with a pile of bamboo slips in his arms.
"Yo, isn't this the little princess? Why haven't you come to the Celestial Realm for so long?"
Luran didn't know that she had been seriously injured in the Pheasant Clan. It seemed that her master hadn't spread the news.
"Of course I've been busy practicing. What are you doing? Why are you moving the things in the study?"
This was so strange. Her master had always been the one to deal with these official documents. Did it mean that her master no longer lived in Cangling Hall?
Or did her master plan to move the study?
"The divine lord has gone into seclusion. Before he left, he ordered me to send these official documents to the Divine Lord Donghua regularly."
She had never heard that her master needed to go into seclusion!
