The wound on her forehead was getting better day by day until the original contract mark was completely revealed.
Yaohua looked at herself in the mirror. The place scratched by the Goddess of Cangshan had healed, but some faint marks were still visible.
"If you mind, Master will draw it for you again."
She shook her head. She would ask Master to add it again when she was capable enough to preserve Master's original work.
The God - Lord had regarded her as a traitor and didn't allow her to enter the Celestial Realm anymore. After today's farewell, she didn't know what the situation would be like the next time they met.
Colorful papers were spread out on the table. Master's slender fingers folded and made a paper crane.
"What are you making these for, Master?" Yaohua put down the mirror and leaned over. "One, two, three... Master, why have you made so many!"
"If you have any questions during your cultivation, just send one of them to ask me." A hint of a smile flashed across Chongming's eyes. "When you leave seclusion, Master will come to pick you up."
It turned out that all these paper cranes were made by Master for her.
Yaohua's heart softened instantly.
"I will definitely cultivate hard."
All the folded paper cranes were put into Yaohua's space.
"Master, I'm leaving now. You must remember to pick me up!"
Yaohua was reluctant to let go, but all good things must come to an end. If she insisted on staying, she would only cause more trouble for Master.
Just thinking that it would be difficult to see Master after leaving, she wished she could engrave Master's appearance in her mind.
"I don't want to go. I want to stay with Master for a while longer."
Chongming sighed. He patted Yaohua's head. "Don't be willful."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, knocking open the half - closed door. Chongming raised his wide sleeve to block Yaohua's face.
"I'm here to carry out official duties by the order of the God - Lord."
A female voice, like a thunderclap, broke the tranquility of the study.
Chongming led Yaohua out of the room.
The purple - clad fairy held a ruyi in her arm and hovered in the air on a auspicious cloud. Butterflies fluttered behind her, as if attracted by the fragrance.
Yaohua seemed to think of something and tightened her grip on Master's sleeve. But just for a moment, she loosened her grip and obediently stood behind Master.
Chongming raised his eyes, but his gaze passed over the speaking woman and landed on the green figure behind her.
"Still not giving up?"
The green - clad figure held a red note in her hand, with a pathetic and moving look in her eyes. "My Lord, please send her away! She has evil intentions and will harm you sooner or later!"
Yaohua could recognize the owner of this voice even if she turned to ashes.
Her fingers turned white, and her body trembled slightly. She used all her strength to calm herself down.
Why did this woman always try to smear her?
"Yulin, show the guest out!"
Master's voice was as cold as ice, like an ice knife.
There was a rustling sound from outside. Chief Steward Yulin walked in slowly. His attitude was respectful, but his words carried a hint of non - negotiability. "Goddess of Cangshan, please."
"I'm not leaving!" The Goddess of Cangshan almost bit her lower lip until it bled. She raised her head, with a hint of fierceness in her eyes. "I'm the other master of the Cangling Hall. Why should I leave? It's her who should leave!"
She raised her arm and pointed directly at Yaohua. "Get out of here!"
Suddenly, the jade trees in the courtyard rustled. The invisible wind carried silk ribbons, as if woven into a ball by the Weaver Girl. In just a blink of an eye, it wrapped around the Goddess of Cangshan and flew out of the hall.
A muffled groan came in from outside the hall. The air was silent for a while.
"If my Lord is not willing to send this little princess away, Tuyang can do it on your behalf."
The previous voice sounded again. Yaohua quietly raised her eyes and met a pair of sharp and cold eyes.
"I know what I'm doing. There's no need for the divine envoy to worry."
After Chongming finished speaking, his eyebrows suddenly twitched, and his expression became a bit strange.
"In that case, Tuyang will..." The words "take my leave" were swallowed by Tuyang. She looked at the Goddess of Cangshan riding on a white python and was actually a bit in awe of the other's courage for a moment.
No wonder even Lord Chongming showed such an expression. The Goddess of Cangshan was really as persistent as the rumors said.
If she had known that the Goddess of Cangshan would say such things and trample Lord Chongming's dignity on the ground, Tuyang would never have taken on this task.
"Goddess of Cangshan, Lord Chongming has decided to send the little princess away. If you have anything else to say, you'd better talk to Lord Chongming privately."
"No. My Lord favors this little slut so much. I must personally drive her out of the Celestial Realm to be at ease!"
Her gaze fell on Yaohua's face. "Are you only brave enough to hide behind my Lord?"
The giant python spat out its forked tongue and stared hungrily at Yaohua.
Yaohua stepped out from behind Master. By this time, she didn't want to endure it anymore.
"So what if I hide behind Master? I'm only twelve years old. Even if I'm timid and irresponsible, no one will say anything."
"Shameless wretch!" The Goddess of Cangshan urged the white python to try to grab Yaohua.
Chongming wanted to intervene, but Yaohua stopped him.
"You talk nonsense, frame me, and insult my Master. Is this your so - called admiration for Master?"
A red light flashed at Yaohua's fingertips. The blazing phoenix fire was like Yaohua's state of mind at the moment.
If it weren't for the Goddess of Cangshan's meddling, how could she and Master have been forced to separate?
How could she have lost the Danjing Mirror and almost been disfigured?
The grievances accumulated over the past few days were all vented through the phoenix fire. In the space, the magical artifacts given to her by Master, father, and elder brother were used to their fullest.
Yaohua looked at the furious Goddess of Cangshan through the phoenix fire. "You've been looking for trouble with me again and again. Do you really think I'm a piece of dough that you can knead at will?"
"You still dare to argue! If it weren't for you seducing my Lord, why would my Lord turn a blind eye to my feelings?"
The Goddess of Cangshan slashed out a space with her hand, trying to control Yaohua as she did that day.
However, Yaohua was well - prepared. She would never fall into the same pit twice.
A beam of glorious light separated Yaohua from the air and blocked the Goddess of Cangshan's space tightly outside.
This was the inspiration Yaohua got from the Goddess of Cangshan's space.
The goddess controlled Cangshan and could freely use the power of Cangshan to open up space and do whatever she wanted with her own space. Then why couldn't she use her phoenix fire to block the space to protect herself?
The goddess was very powerful, but the magical artifacts she had accumulated in her space over the years might not be unable to fight!
The fire reflected Yaohua's murderous eyes. Her spiritual power transformed into a phoenix phantom and rushed towards the stunned goddess and the white python in an instant!
Boom—
After a deafening roar, Yaohua transformed back into a human form and landed on the ground.
In front of her, the purple - clad divine envoy's long hair fluttered, and the ruyi in her hand shone brightly with golden light.
"Little princess, private fighting is prohibited in the Celestial Realm."
"But when she disfigured me and ordered the white python to attack Chief Steward Yulin that day, no one said that private fighting was prohibited!"
"She came by the order of the God - Lord that day. It can't be generalized."
Anyway, this was the territory of the Celestial Realm. They could say whatever they wanted.
All the phoenix fire returned to Yaohua's palm. She stepped down the steps and suddenly smiled. "Since the divine envoy explains it like this, I have nothing to say."
