After she entered the book, she just wanted to live with her

In the dense forest where everything is silent.

At this moment, 996 was nestled in Zhao Tuo's arms, feeling hopeless.

After Gu Yuyuan entered the crack, 996 lay on the ground and relaxed his vigilance to recharge. He didn't notice that he was no longer invisible and was discovered by Zhao Tuo who was attracted by the huge noise.

When it heard the voice and looked, it was Zhao Tuo. It was stunned.

"I finally found you. Fortunately, you are still alive." Zhao Tuo thought it was Yuxing and quickly picked it up from the ground.

He carefully examined its body and found no wounds. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked worriedly, "I'm glad you're okay. Do you feel any discomfort?"

After a series of operations, Zhao Tuo was still confused by the 996 work and looked at him blankly.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I should have taken you away earlier and not gotten entangled with He Jiaojiao."

996 looked at Zhao Tuo with a dark face.

Hey, brother, you got the wrong cat!

Only then did Zhao Tuo notice that the color of its eyes had changed. It was no longer purple but golden, and there was a complex golden pattern on its forehead.

He frowned and asked, "What's going on with your eyes and this golden pattern?"

Uh...it looks a little different from Shen Daixing.

He muttered to himself, "Could it be because of the thunder just now?"

Zhao Tuo could only attribute its abnormal behavior to the influence of thunder from the sky. The movement just now should have been caused by Gu Yuyuan. Only he could summon thunder, but there was no trace of him here.

He held 996 and inspected the scene for a while, but found nothing unusual, only the smell of thunder and lightning all over the ground.

He knew Gu Yuyuan's cultivation level. There would be at least a deep pit after the chop. Now the ground is flat and covered with only fallen leaves. Could it be that there is a secret hidden here?

But since Senior Brother Gu found Yuxing, why didn’t he take it away, but left it here?

Yuxing couldn't speak and couldn't ask about the situation.

Forget it, I should report the situation to the two elders first.

Zhao Tuo took out a sound transmission talisman from his storage bag. It was from Elder Zhu Zhen. He used his spiritual power to activate the rune. After explaining the situation, the rune disappeared and went to where it should go.

He held Yuxing in his arms and waited for a reply. He also took a look at the environment here, hoping he could find some trace of Senior Brother Gu. He would wait for the elder to reply before taking the next step.

996 originally wanted to disappear back into the space, but he was worried that this would cause trouble for Shen Daixing later, so he had to stay put.

Oops, I was careless and didn’t dodge.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was no longer concerned about its strange behavior, it felt relieved. Until Shen Daixing came back, it could only pretend to be her.

It has been almost two days since Shen Daixing and the others entered the treasure space. During this period, Zhao Tuo took 996 around to find Gu Yuyuan's whereabouts, but found nothing.

Zhao Tuo waited here for two days as Elder Zhu Zhen instructed. If there was no news, he would take Yu Xing back to the flying boat and discuss it later.

He left a mark and a letter here, explaining the situation and the fact that Yuxing was taken away. If Gu Yuyuan came back here, he would definitely find it. After doing this, he flew back to the flying boat with Yuxing on his sword.

The flying boat required a huge amount of spiritual power, so Elder Zhu Zhen slowed down the flight speed. Zhao Tuo's cultivation was not bad, and he quickly caught up with the flying boat by flying with the 'Yuxing' sword.

The disciples walking on the boat saw it and told each other in surprise.

"Look, Senior Brother Zhao brought Yuxing back."

"Great!"

"Why don't you see Brother Gu?"

"I guess he was delayed at the back."

The sect disciples saw Zhao Tuo coming back with 'Yu Xing' and started chattering about it.

996 closed its eyes and buried its head, hiding in Zhao Tuo's arms and refusing to see anyone. It would be best if fewer people saw it, otherwise it would be in trouble when Shen Daixing came back.

Zhao Tuo thought it was feeling unwell, so he took it to the third floor to report to the elders without stopping.

The elders had already been waiting in the meeting room. After he put the cat down, he bowed and said, "Disciple greets the two elders."

The two elders nodded.

Elder Zhu Zhen stepped forward and picked up Yuxing, saying gently, "Yuxing, you must be frightened. I'll have someone prepare some delicious food for you later."

Then he looked at the changes in the white cat and said in surprise, "What's going on? Why did the color of its eyes change? Where did this golden pattern on its forehead come from?"

Zhao Tuo didn't say much when he transmitted the message. He only said that he had found the 'Yuxing' and found Gu Yuyuan's trace but could not see his figure. He did not mention anything unusual about it.

"I discovered that 'Yuxing' was like this when I met it in the dense forest. I don't know what happened either," Zhao Tuo explained.

Elder Su Wen also frowned as he looked at the different Jade Star. "Its bell and storage bag are also missing."

"Could it be that some thief stole Yuxing's things? This is outrageous!" Elder Zhu Zhen's eyebrows were knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川" (Chuan), his face full of anger. Then he thought for a moment and said calmly, "It's good that you're okay. I'll make another one for Yuxing later."

996 felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of the three of them, and kept his eyes downcast, watching his nose and his heart.

Afterwards, the others shifted their attention, and Zhao Tuo explained in detail all the details of his encounter with 'Yu Xing' after getting off the flying boat.

Elder Su Wen said, "Yuyuan has a steady personality, so nothing serious should happen to him. After you sent the message, I sent a message to the Sect Master. Yuyuan's spirit lamp is still on, so he should be fine for now."

Zhao Tuo nodded: "I have left a mark and a letter. Brother Gu will find it if he returns there."

Elder Zhu Zhen nodded: "Well done."

Then Elder Su Wen spoke calmly, "I understand that He Jiaojiao fought with you. I have ordered her to be detained and her entry into the secret realm revoked. What do you think?"

Zhao Tuo did not answer directly. After thinking for a while, he said solemnly, "Junior Sister He and I were only exchanging spells. There was no private fight. I hope the elder will understand."

The two elders stared at each other in surprise. Elder Zhu Zhen said, "Are you really sparring? Don't worry, we will naturally make the decision for you."

"It was a sparring match, but I am also responsible for Junior Sister He accidentally knocking down Jade Star. The elders will decide how to deal with it."

The two elders naturally knew that it was He Jiaojiao's fault, but since Zhao Tuo was determined to excuse himself and not make a fuss about it, they let it go.

He Jiaojiao is not a bad person by nature, but she has developed many bad habits due to being spoiled by her family. We should take this opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Elder Su Wen looked at Zhao Tuo with approval. He was an upright person who did not care about trivial matters. The sect leader had accepted a good disciple.

"In that case, you two must share the responsibility for accidentally knocking down Yuxing. Let's wait until Yuyuan returns to decide on this matter."

Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tuo glanced at Yuxing and hesitated, "Who will take care of Yuxing until Senior Brother Gu comes back?"

Elder Zhu Zhen took the responsibility and said, "I'll take care of it, that's all." Then he lowered his head and looked at Yu Xing with a smile: "Yu Xing, how about following Elder Zhu Zhen?"

Upon hearing this, 996 twisted its fat body wildly. The two elders had high cultivation levels, and it was afraid that they would see something, so it didn't want to stay with them.

It quickly jumped out of Elder Zhu Zhen's arms and ran straight to Zhao Tuo. It climbed into his arms in two steps and refused to come out.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly held it up.

Elder Zhu Zhen became visibly depressed.

"Brother, maybe you're not very familiar with Yuxing yet," Elder Su Wen tried to comfort Elder Zhu Zhen, then told Zhao Tuo, "Leave Yuxing in your care. Don't let anything happen to her again."

Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Yes, I will take good care of it."

996 breathed a sigh of relief. Xingxing, when will you come out?
