Chapter 204 Putting the Benefactor First
"Let's go in!" Chen Xiaoxiao then cleverly changed the subject, saying with a smile, "Xiaxia is still injured."
After saying this, Chen Xiaoxiao shyly tucked her hair behind her ear.
Her gaze fell gently on Shi Xiaxia, and she asked softly, "Is it okay if I call you that?"
"Of course, no problem." Shi Xiaxia nodded with a smile.
After that, the group slowly walked inside.
Chen Xiaoxiao first took Shi Xiaxia to the room that had been carefully prepared for her. The room was decorated in a warm and elegant style, revealing the owner's thoughtfulness in every detail.
After Shi Xiaxia put her things away, Chen Xiaoxiao led her to the main hall.
At this moment, Master Yan had put on a serious expression and sat upright in the main seat, while Xiao Yuan, who was over ten years old, solemnly accompanied Master Yan.
"Sit here."
Upon entering the main hall, Chen Xiaoxiao's gentle smile vanished, and her expression turned serious.
She guided Xiaxia to sit in the main seat, her tone respectful.
Shi Xiaxia stopped, looking at them with a puzzled expression and questioning eyes: "What are you doing?"
Chen Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "You saved Mingzhu, so you are naturally our sect's benefactor."
According to our sect's tradition, we should invite our benefactor to come and express our gratitude.
"no, I'm fine."
Shi Xiaxia quickly took a step back and explained, "It wasn't me who saved Yue Mingzhu. That aunt never intended to hurt Yue Mingzhu in the first place. You should know that, Yue Mingzhu, right?!"
With no expression on her face, Yue Mingzhu nodded slightly.
Her movements were very light, as if they were just a slight twitch, but they reassured Shi Xiaxia.
“It’s not entirely for that,” Master Yan said slowly.
He sat upright in the main seat, his expression solemn: "The minister said you want to see information about reincarnation, but those who are not from the sect are not allowed to see it. Although our Yuxian Sect has declined, we still follow the ancient teachings."
"Now that you, young friend Shi, have received Mingzhu's gift, you are a distinguished guest of our sect. It is perfectly reasonable for you to go and check some information."
Yan Shangren's words revealed his adherence to the sect's ancient precepts and his respect for Shi Xiaxia.
Shi Xiaxia hesitated for a moment.
On the one hand, she longed to see information about reincarnation and find a way home; on the other hand, she felt unworthy of it.
In the end, Shi Xiaxia nodded and sat down in the main seat.
Afterwards, Yue Mingzhu bowed three times to Shi Xiaxia. Her movements were solemn and devout, and each bow was full of respect.
After bowing, Yue Mingzhu handed tea to Shi Xiaxia and said, "Thank you for saving my life. I will always look up to you from now on."
Yue Mingzhu's voice was clear and firm, as if she didn't feel anything was wrong with the expression of gratitude.
Shi Xiaxia felt the gift was too heavy and didn't want to accept it, but she was also afraid that the Yuxian Sect really had a way to go home.
Shi Xiaxia gritted her teeth and accepted the tea, taking a sip as a way of acknowledging Yue Mingzhu's gratitude.
However, at the same time, Shi Xiaxia also planned to help Xiao Yuan, which could be considered as repaying them.
When Shi Xiaxia shook her head earlier, saying she couldn't handle Xiao Yuan's fate, it wasn't that she really couldn't.
Rather, it was because the methods she knew were too difficult and almost impossible to implement, so she didn't want to give them unnecessary hope.
But now that she had accepted Yue Mingzhu's gratitude, she felt she had to do something to repay them.
After drinking tea, the group chatted for a while before letting Shi Xiaxia go back to her room to rest.
In the evening, the five of them sat together and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in a lively atmosphere before returning to their rooms to rest.
......
The next morning, Shi Xiaxia woke up from her sleep, and Chen Xiaoxiao knocked on the door to call her to have breakfast.
When she arrived at the dining table, she found that Yue Mingzhu was no longer there.
Chen Xiaoxiao explained, "Mingzhu went back to work in her department early this morning."
Shi Xiaxia nodded.
After breakfast, Master Yan took Xiao Yuan to cultivate, while Chen Xiaoxiao took Shi Xiaxia to the library.
The library is located underground in the manor and houses a large collection of precious books and original works.
Because of the extremely high value of these collections, in order to prevent accidents, they specially built more than ten rooms in the basement to store various types of books and documents separately.
In this way, even if an accident occurs, some important books and materials can be preserved as much as possible.
After leading Shi Xiaxia into the library, Chen Xiaoxiao gave her a few instructions and then left.
Shi Xiaxia started looking through the books in the first room, flipping through the books on the bookshelf one by one.
She was so engrossed in her books that she forgot the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and Shi Xiaxia had finally finished reading all the books and materials of the Yuxian Sect.
During this time, she gained a deeper understanding of the history, culture, and cultivation methods of the Yuxian Sect.
However, the book does not provide a clear answer to the question of time travel.
Although the book mentions some reasons and methods for time travel, those accounts seem too fantastical and hard to believe.
However, some sources record the founding cultivation method of the Yuxian Sect—"Six Paths of Reincarnation".
According to the book, if one can master this skill, one can directly transcend the Three Realms and no longer be limited by time and space.
Shi Xiaxia's heart stirred; perhaps this cultivation technique was the key to her finding her way home.
However, after reading through all the books one by one, she still couldn't find the cultivation method called Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Xiaxia, it's time to eat!" Chen Xiaoxiao's gentle voice came slowly from outside.
"Okay." Shi Xiaxia gently put down the book in her hand, slowly opened the door, and walked out of the room with steady steps.
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Xiaxia with heartache in her eyes and said softly, "You're working too hard. These documents are right here and they're not going to disappear. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Besides, your injury has only just healed; you should rest properly.
Since Shi Xiaxia arrived here, she hasn't had a single day of rest.
If Chen Xiaoxiao hadn't come to wake her up every day, Shi Xiaxia probably would have forgotten to eat and sleep.
After spending so much time together, Chen Xiaoxiao discovered that apart from being a bit more lively than Yue Mingzhu, Shi Xiaxia was indeed quite similar to Yue Mingzhu in other aspects.
Shi Xiaxia gently shook her head and said, "It's okay, I've already finished watching it."
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't reply, because she knew in her heart that Shi Xiaxia's reading of these materials meant that she was about to leave.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoxin felt a deep sense of reluctance.
The two slowly arrived at the restaurant, where Yan Shangren and Xiao Yuan were already seated.
