Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"Do not!"

Mingyue's eyes also showed a hint of determination, and she shouted:

"Master, I want to go out."

The Valley Master simply turned his head and stared at her with a complicated expression. After a long while, he slowly said:

"Are you really going out again? Have you forgotten why I kept you here again?"

Mingyue took a deep breath and responded with a firm look:

"Master, I understand your concern. You're worried that my thoughts about my fellow Xingluo cadets will overwhelm my mind, causing my rhythmic energy to destabilize and put me in danger."

"But Master, it is precisely because of my sense of responsibility towards them that I cannot sit idly by. Although I have devoted myself to cultivation in Cloud Worry Valley, I cannot rest easy whenever I think of them in danger."

"I understand that distracting thoughts will affect my rhythmic power, but this worry can also be transformed into motivation for me to move forward, allowing me to burst out with greater strength at critical moments."

The Valley Master frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry:

"Let's not talk about your own safety. Yunyou Valley hides the important secrets of Maotu. If you go out frequently, it is inevitable that you will expose the secrets of the valley."

"We are responsible for protecting this secret. Any mistake could bring disaster to Cat Land."

Mingyue knelt on one knee and said earnestly:

"Master, I will be extremely careful and will never reveal any of the valley's secrets. I am fully aware of Yunyou Valley's mission and understand Bai Tang's importance as the rosary messenger.

I'm going here not only to rescue my companions, but also to secretly monitor any forces attempting to uncover the secrets of Yunyou Valley. If there's any sign of trouble, I'll report it to Master immediately."

The Valley Master sighed:

"You promised me that as long as I rescued Wusong and Dafei, you would never leave the valley again. Now you are breaking your promise, this..."

Mingyue's eyes were slightly red, and she said guiltily:

"Master, I know that breaking a promise is a grave mistake. However, the situation was dire, and I had no choice but to seek your help. Now the Xingluo Squad is in dire straits once again. If I were to stay out of this situation because of a promise, I would live in regret for the rest of my life. I am willing to endure any punishment, and I only ask Master to give me another chance."

Senior Mouse, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment:

"Valley Master, this little girl has made up her mind. The Xingluo Squad is truly a disorganized group right now. If this child returns, she might become the key force that unites them and changes their current predicament."

The masked steward also nodded slightly:

"Valley Master, from the overall perspective, if Mingyue can help the Xingluo Squad and stabilize the Rosary Envoy Baitang, it will also be beneficial to our plan to secretly protect Maotu."

The Valley Master's gaze lingered on Mingyue for a long time, his heart torn between his conscience and his desires. Finally, he closed his eyes helplessly and nodded slowly:

"Forget it, forget it. I know I can't stop you. When you go, be careful and don't act rashly. If you encounter a crisis that you can't resolve, find a place to hide immediately. Don't reveal your identity or the secrets of Yunyou Valley."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mingyue's eyes, and she quickly thanked him:

"Master, rest assured. I will remember your teachings and return safely."

After saying that, she quickly stood up, turned around and ran towards the exit of the valley, her steps hurried with the determination to fight to the death.

Senior Mouse looked at Mingyue's departing figure and said with emotion:

"This little girl may seem weak, but she has such courage. I hope she can really be the one to break the deadlock."

The Valley Master looked at the direction where the bright moon disappeared, with a complicated expression, and murmured in a low voice:

"My child, I wish you a smooth journey and a safe return."

The tremors in the valley continued, and the crack in the white piece on the chessboard became more and more obvious, as if waiting for the bright moon to bring a turning point.

"Bai Tang, I don't know what kind of danger you've encountered, but no matter what, you must hold on and wait for me to continue moving forward with you!"

In the distant cave, Bai Tang and others are still struggling in the darkness, their lives uncertain. They don’t know that a girl with firm faith is running towards them, trying to bring them hope of life.

……

The black shadow who had injured Bai Tang and the others before returned to the clan palace, covered in dust but with a bit of pride.

He hurried to the majestic black figure, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported: "Master, Shi Jing has been captured."

"Hmm~"

The almighty sect leader was hidden in the thick shadows, emitting a chilling aura.

After hearing the report, he seemed indifferent to the matter. He just moved his lips slightly and said coldly:

"You completed the mission and dealt with those kittens?"

"Uh--"

When the shadow heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself:

If he told the truth that the other party might escape, the sect leader would be furious. But if he lied and said that the problem had been solved, if the kittens were not dead and the sect leader knew about it later, his life would be in danger. But after a brief hesitation, his fear of the sect leader in front of him still prevailed. He gritted his teeth and answered firmly:

"Yes, Master, it has been resolved."

After answering, he lowered his head, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and waited nervously for the sect leader's response.

The sect leader did not reply, but just waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

The black shadow stood up slowly as if he had been granted amnesty, and walked backwards. He did not dare to turn around until he had retreated a certain distance. He left in a hurry, and his figure soon disappeared into the deep corridors of the clan palace.

"Hmm~"

At this moment, Lingzuan came out slowly from the side in a wheelchair.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the clan leader who was still sitting in the shadows, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and he said:

"Haha, those little kitties from the Xingluo squad aren't going to be dealt with so easily."

The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard in the empty palace.

"I think……"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Lingzuan showed no intention of stopping. He turned his wheelchair and went straight to where the stone crystal was placed.

"I'm not interested in hearing what you have to say."

"So this is the Time Crystal Force of your Bu Sect. With this thing, it seems I can solve Yi Wukai's problem..."

He stretched out his hand and took the Time Crystal Stone in his hand without any hesitation.

Then, he turned his wheelchair around and prepared to leave, as if the sect leader beside him did not exist.

"Let me remind you again, if you need to do something, you must handle it yourself, otherwise there will be endless troubles..."
