A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

After Wushuang returned to his residence, he remained silent, not revealing a single word about the progress and outcome of the incident. Xiaoli, standing beside him, seemed a little apprehensive, constantly watching for subtle changes in Wushuang's expression, trying to catch some clues.

However, Wushuang soon noticed Xiaoli's cautiousness. She couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to gently stroke Xiaoli's head and saying, "Hey, you don't have to be so nervous! Since you've chosen to follow me, just tell me if you want to eat anything. Do you think I'll treat you badly?"

Wushuang paused, then added, "There are quite a few demonic beasts in this space. As long as you don't eat them to extinction, you can basically enjoy them all. The only exception is the Earth Armor Beast, which you are absolutely not allowed to prey on. Of course, don't get me wrong, I know you didn't just catch those chickens to eat because you were greedy. In the final analysis, you just wanted to vent your anger, and you even caught and bit the chickens right in front of that person to show him, right?"

"Okay, stop that expression!" Wushuang said seriously, her beautiful face now shrouded in a frost. "I know you're just trying to vent your anger on me, but haven't you thought about it? What if you can't outrun them and get killed on the spot? What will you do then?"

Hearing Wushuang's words, the little creature standing nearby couldn't help but lower its head. Like a child who'd done something wrong, it softly replied, "Master, I know I was wrong. I'll definitely be more thoughtful next time." But in reality, the little creature wasn't afraid at all. After all, it wasn't fighting alone; Xiaomeng was right there with it. Lately, the two of them had been operating together, a mutual understanding and trust built up between them.

Wushuang stared closely at the creature in front of him, who seemed to be admitting his mistake obediently but was actually quite active. Seeing its eyes whirring and whirring, he knew that this creature must be up to something again. Wushuang felt a little headache, thinking: Raising a spirit pet is really troublesome. He couldn't help but show a bit of irritation in his eyes.

"Master, I'm not a bother at all. I won't cause you any trouble, and I don't need you to prepare food for me. It's very worry-free." Xiao Meng said quickly, fearing that she would be disliked as well.

Wushuang just thought about it in his mind, and was surprised that Xiaomeng could know it.

"Master, don't be surprised. We nightmare beasts can see through people's hearts. Otherwise, how can we weave dreams and make people indulge in illusions?"

Wushuang's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and he felt even more satisfied with the nightmare beast Xiaomeng.

The little fox curled his lips in dissatisfaction and hummed in dissatisfaction: "Humph! You are the only one who knows how to show off."

Xiao Meng was happy that her master was satisfied with her. She didn't care about her friend's dissatisfaction and complaints at all, and had no intention of quarreling with it. Instead, she turned around to coax the little fox. The two little things soon reconciled and ran to the side, whispering and discussing something.

Wushuang continued to lie back in his rocking chair, basking in the sun. He checked on the spiritual fish and the Five Elements spiritual fish in the small lake in his yard, fed them, and ate some spiritual fruit himself. The two little ones also took some delicious food and ate while playing. The small yard was peaceful.

At this time, the eldest brother was still at the Cliff of Repentance, enjoying the whirring wind, and the former Sect Leader had also come to chat with him out of boredom. The Sect Leader was really depressed. He had devoted himself to the sect, but ended up with such a result. He was not convinced, but had no one to talk to. Finally, someone came to keep him company, and he couldn't help but vent!

"Junior brother, tell me, my whole heart and eyes are thinking about our sect, but why don't they understand my painstaking efforts?" The former leader frowned, his face full of sorrow and confusion.

"Haha, you really are devoted to the sect?" Master Yunhai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Of course! Could it be fake? That extremely precious longevity fruit was exchanged specifically for the Grand Elder, not for me to enjoy alone! I have been doing my best to help him, just hoping that he can successfully break through the bottleneck of his cultivation and become a Mahayana cultivator. Once the Grand Elder successfully breaks through, what a brilliant future our sect will have!" The former head became more and more excited as he spoke, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

However, his nephew mercilessly sarcastically replied, "Yes, by then, I'm afraid everyone will be praising your 'great achievements' endlessly. For a mere longevity fruit, you actually sold out your own sect's most trusted disciple. You're truly 'remarkable'!"

How could Master Mo Yu not hear the sarcasm in his words, but he felt really aggrieved. Why did no one understand him? Why did everyone misunderstand him?

Looking at his sad face, as if everyone in the world had let him down, Yunhai Zhenren, who didn't want to continue to pay attention to him, finally spoke.

"Hmph, don't think you're so noble! You keep saying you're doing this for the good of the sect, but what's the reality? You're just using this high-sounding guise to act recklessly! If you truly care about the sect wholeheartedly, then why are you acting so recklessly and impulsively, without considering the consequences? If you really succeed, have you ever considered where the sect's reputation will be put? And our highly respected Grand Elder, can you really let his prestige be trampled upon so easily? I'm afraid that by then, the only one who will be satisfied will be a selfish person like you! And you still dare to argue that it's not out of selfishness. In my opinion, your selfishness is the most serious!"

Master Mo Yu was stunned by what he said. His carefully concealed selfish motives had been discovered so easily. Was he not hiding it well enough, or had he really gone too far? Master Mo Yu fell into deep thought, and Master Yun Hai ignored him.

In the past, he always liked to watch silently and deal with anyone he disliked without making a sound. This was the first time he had been so direct with someone. Perhaps he had been too upset recently to care about his elders and actually did something like this. However, he did not regret it. The only thing he regretted was that he had so blatantly plotted against the junior sister. The junior sister might not have understood many things since she had just arrived at the sect, so she could not see it clearly. But the master knew what happened without even asking about the process.

If he had contacted the sect earlier to arrange for someone to come and pick them up, no one would have dared to rob them. He only wanted to scare his junior sister, to show her how powerful he was, but he had no intention of actually hurting her. Even if a fight had broken out, he was confident he could protect them and hold out until the sect arrived, but who could have imagined something like this would happen? He also blamed his bad luck for alerting his master. He had truly lost more than he gained, getting beaten and punished. Life on the Cliff of Repentance was unbearable, a living hell. If he knew that Second Junior Brother was being given tons of delicious food every day, and that his junior sister had even given him a lot of nearly extinct, top-grade spiritual wood that he just needed, he would probably be filled with even more regret.

Although Wushuang was not sure what was going on, she felt that the eldest brother was not as pure as the second brother. She also felt that the eldest brother's punishment this time had something to do with her. There was something she didn't know, but she could only pretend to be confused and pretend that she didn't know. Since the master didn't want her to know, she wouldn't ask. The master would never harm her.

But I can't be too biased. I did send some delicious but not particularly precious spiritual food to my eldest brother.

Master Mo Yu was completely devastated when he saw Master Yun Hai eating with relish. He also had fellow disciples and several apprentices, but no one came to see him, let alone send him anything. At most, they would just ask a few questions on the message stone.

He was a little confused. Her senior brother had clearly plotted against her, so why didn't she bear a grudge? She even gave him food after he was punished. How could this be possible?

Her so-called senior brother was so cruel, he had no regard for her life and plotted against her. And she, at least, had managed to secure a promise to spare her life. She had thought she had done her utmost, but who could have imagined that in the end, she would become the one condemned by so many, guilty of such heinous crimes?

"How can you actually eat this meal?" Master Mo Yu looked at him with disdain, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

"If you can eat it, why can't I? The meal was delivered by Junior Sister herself, it's delicious!" Master Yunhai responded nonchalantly, without any guilt on his face, but rather complacent.

"Hmph, you're really shameless!" Master Mo Yu snorted coldly. He was really angry. He didn't know what he was angry about, but he was very angry. Very angry! Junior Brother Xuancheng's teaching was not very good!

"Haha, what I did is nothing. I was just joking with my junior sister and didn't know how to act properly. I can't compare with you! At least I didn't lose face for the sect, didn't almost harm the sect's grand elder, didn't harm the sect's talented disciple, and didn't sell people out regardless of their wishes." Master Yunhai retorted unwillingly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Yunhai Zhenjun was already furious and wanted to vent his emotions, but ended up getting even angrier! He simply left and went somewhere else, out of sight, out of mind!
