My filial piety will never change

He immediately became as excited as if his blood was injected into a chicken, thinking that he must serve this good master well from now on!

Chapter 4: Little Devil, Come Help Me

Just as Zhao Yuchen was walking towards the backyard after getting some hot water, a woman in her early thirties called him from the outer hall.

"Junior Brother Zhao." She held a folded piece of letter paper in her hand, her expression very indifferent.

Zhao Yuchen put down the bucket and asked, "Senior Sister Gong, is there anything wrong?"

This woman's name is Gong Na. She is one of the two hall masters of Yin Yang Valley. Her status can be said to be second only to the three valley masters.

Zhao Yuchen had only met her once when he first joined the company, and they had never had a serious conversation until now.

Gong Na said with a dull expression, "I want to see the Second Valley Master. Could you please let him know for me?"

Zhao Yuchen laughed and said, "Second Master seems to have something important to attend to, so he may not be available. If it's convenient, I can pass on the message for him."

He took the warning to heart and was determined not to let other members know that the second master was seriously injured.

Gong Na showed a hint of mockery in his eyes, and then handed the letter to Zhao Yuchen, "No need, you just need to give this letter to the Second Valley Master."

After saying this, he twisted his waist and left.

Rather than saying that she doesn't take Zhao Yuchen seriously, it would be better to say that she has a lot of opinions about Zhao Yuchen.

Zhao Yuchen had no choice but to carry the bucket and the letter to Shengying's room.

Sheng Ying was still sitting on the bed at this time, wondering what she was thinking about.

Zhao Yuchen greeted her and handed the letter to her.

Sheng Ying opened the letter and read it, then placed it on the bedside and waved her hand nonchalantly, "Bring some water over here, I need to wipe myself."

Zhao Yuchen felt disappointed. He had thought Shengying would ask him to help clean it. Then he could earn a lot of filial piety points.

And because this was not a simple massage and foot washing, I didn't dare to take the initiative to offer my service.

After bringing the bucket to the bedside, he chuckled and said, "Disciple, please wait outside. Second Master, please come and greet me after you finish washing.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Sheng Ying glared at me and said, "Stop, kid. I'm seriously injured and still in a trance. You have to stay in the room to prevent any accidents while I'm washing my body. Sit over there with your back to me."

"Ok."

"Also, go to the closet and get me a set of clothes. Something light and thin that's easy to put on and allows for movement."

"Yes..."

The wardrobe was placed in the east corner of the boudoir. When it was opened, sets of clothes of different colors were neatly stacked inside.

Smelling the lingering fragrance on the clothes, Zhao Yuchen saw several triangular pieces of silk-like cloth in the corner.

Poof! A huge beast appeared!

Second Master dresses so boldly and avant-garde in private!

With his blood boiling, he picked up a set and placed it on the bedside. His eyes caught sight of the letter, but because it was upside down, he couldn't see the contents clearly.

"You little brat, did you do this on purpose? The clothes you picked are the pajamas I wear privately." She hooked her fingers on the top, which was unnaturally thin and loose. If she put it on, a large area of ​​scenery would be faintly visible.

Zhao Yuchen complained in his heart: It’s better not to wear such clothes.

Just as she was about to ask for a new set, Sheng Ying spoke again, "Forget it. I can't go out these days anyway. Turn around. I need to undress and dry myself."

Zhao Yuchen came to the table and sat down with his back to her. The sound of people taking off clothes came from behind him.

The image of Shengying's graceful and undulating body subconsciously emerged in his mind.

I wanted to turn around and look, but my brain controlled my body. The conflict between the two was so intense that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

What followed was the sound of the towel touching the water and the sound of it rubbing against the body.

"Want to see it?"

Suddenly, Shengying's voice came from behind.

Zhao Yuchen took a deep breath and his throat moved, "Can, can I?"

Sheng Ying said angrily, "Why not? It's just a letter. Weren't you very interested just now? You kept staring at it."

"Oh!" Zhao Yuchen's mood instantly plummeted, and he said awkwardly, "Second Master, if you don't mind, please tell me the content briefly."

Sheng Ying said quietly, "This is Hall Master Gong's farewell letter. She will resign as Hall Master effective immediately and leave Yin Yang Valley with a few trusted disciples."

"Why did she suddenly quit?"

"The resources Yin Yang Valley can provide to its disciples are becoming increasingly scarce, and her status has always been suppressed by the three of us Valley Masters. Some time ago, her partner left her. Now that you've appeared, she has completely lost hope of further development. Any smart person would leave. Seeing that she doesn't even want this month's salary, it means she has already found a new employer."

"So it's because of me..."

"The decline of Yin Yang Valley is inevitable. Even without you, she would have left sooner or later."

"Then will the other disciples have the same mentality?"

"This world is just so realistic. Yin Yang Valley has no industry, no medicinal mountain, and no spiritual mines, and its influence is also small. Relying solely on a few commissions, we can barely support ourselves. But these are not your concerns. Your other two masters and I will take care of them."

Zhao Yuchen fell into deep thought. It was impossible for him not to worry. If there were no new opportunities in Yin Yang Valley, it would be doomed before he could develop.

Although the ultimate goal of these three tigresses is to eat him.

But because the filial piety system only bound them, he could only rely on them to buy time for development. If they died too early, he would be finished.

To put it bluntly, it is a community of shared destiny, where we prosper together and suffer together.

Sadness came from the sky, and at this moment he no longer cared about the sound of voices caressing his body.

"Kid, my back is injured and it's not convenient for me to operate. Please help me."

"Oh." Zhao Yuchen turned around and took a breath when he saw the scene in front of him.

Shengying was facing away from her at this time, with her hair falling to her chest, revealing her entire back.

What shocked Zhao Yuchen was not the bare back she generously displayed, but the red and black palm print on her vest, with red and black blood threads protruding like spider webs. It seemed that black blood would seep out at any moment.

She was able to chat and laugh despite such a serious injury. I felt distressed but also admired her.

Zhao Yuchen came to the bedside, took the bath towel from her hand, dipped it in water, wrung it out, and carefully wiped it from the edge. There was no evil thought in his mind anymore.

"Second Master, does it hurt?" As soon as Zhao Yuchen said this, he felt that he had asked a stupid question.

Sheng Ying's voice was still as soft and charming as ever. "Silly boy, you'd be lying if you said it didn't hurt. But it's better than dying. I was lucky, too. The strongest impact of this palm strike landed right next to my heart. If it had moved a little to the left, you might not have seen me~"

Zhao Yuchen recalled the scene of Shengying's tragic death at the hands of others. He said, "Yin Yang Valley's only business is commissions, and the dangers involved are self-evident. Is it possible for us to find some softer business opportunities?"

"Have you started thinking about the sect already, little brat?" Shengying smiled. "Your intentions are good, but don't be so naive. If there's a good project to develop, why would we have to fight to the death? The only way you can help the sect is to practice hard and use your physical strength to become stronger as quickly as possible. Then you can become a helper to the masters."

Zhao Yuchen was naive and felt quite dissatisfied. He muttered, "Fighting and killing is ultimately a bad idea, especially when it comes to working for others. We bear the greatest risks but get the least benefits. We should change our development plan..."

As clever as Shengying was, she still had to survive in the cracks of this world. It wasn't that she didn't have ideas, but too many of them were limited by her environment and her strength.

So she just thought that Zhao Yuchen thought this way because he was young and had not suffered the harshness of society.

However, this kid is indeed much more mature and experienced in all aspects than other children of the same age, even more than most adults.

In order not to discourage him, Sheng Ying Yanran jokingly said, "Then why don't you provide a solution?"

Zhao Yuchen raised his eyes and said seriously, "Give me a little time."

Sheng Ying was startled by his tone for a moment, then she reacted and smiled sweetly, "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

It was already dark outside. After helping Shengying change her clothes, he packed up his things and prepared to leave with her changed clothes.

"Second Master, I will help you wash these clothes. I will sleep next door tonight. Feel free to call me if you need anything."

"Ah."

Sheng Ying wanted to force him to stay, but she saw that although his tone hadn't changed, his expression was full of worries. It was obvious that the previous conversation had affected him. She immediately gave up the idea.

No way, does he really think he can change the current situation in Yin Yang Valley?

She immediately smiled and shook her head. It was impossible for a twelve-year-old child who had only just stopped wetting the bed. If he could really do that, she would be willing to call Tiangang Master!

Chapter 5 Cute and cute

Yunquan Market is the largest market within a radius of more than 300 miles. Various sects and cultivators gather here all year round.

They engaged in activities such as trading goods and recruiting disciples here.

The most crowded place is Xiaoyaofang.

Xiaoyaofang is a branch of Xiaoyao City, spread across many markets within a radius of more than a thousand miles, and is often located in the form of a large restaurant.

In addition to eating, drinking and having fun, the most core functions are commissions and rewards.

Monks can post tasks here by paying a certain fee, or they can accept tasks and earn commissions.

Small sects like Yin Yang Valley would come here to take on missions and earn commissions to maintain the survival of the sect.

Although it was late at night, the entire market was still brightly lit and dogs were coming and going.

This is because they are all cultivators, their physical and mental strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, and with the help of elixirs, they can maintain a certain vitality even after several days and nights without rest.

Xiaoyaofang, the front desk for submitting tasks.

A person who was about 1.6 meters tall and looked like a girl took out several demon beast inner cores.

"I'll hand in the mission."

Her voice is clear and has a natural sweetness and smile.

Looking closer, she had long, thin eyebrows and large, surprisingly clear eyes. Her nose was small and straight, and her lips were like flowers. When she smiled, she had two dimples and small canine teeth, which was very cute.

Her hair was a dark purple, and her ears were long and pointed, clearly not an ordinary human. Her shoulder-length hair, delicate figure, and two white legs were exposed, paired with a yellow skirt that just reached past her knees. She exuded youthful energy and straightforwardness.

"This is your reward, please keep it."

"By the way, I wanted to take another task just now, but there are no tasks available on the bulletin board. Why is that?" She asked, blinking her big eyes.

The receptionist replied, "Just half an hour ago, Xiaoyao City issued new quest rules. From now on, quests and rewards will be closed after midnight every night. They will reopen at 7:00 the following day."

She expressed confusion: "Why?"

"Because Xiaoyao City wants to reclaim a portion of the mission market and return it to the headquarters. This will boost Xiaoyao City's overall efficiency."

Before the receptionist could answer, a cool and beautiful woman behind her answered first.

Upon hearing this, she turned around quickly, her big eyes lit up, and she called out, "Big Sister!"

"Junior sister, let's talk while we walk."

"Ah."

This lovely woman is the third master of Yin Yang Valley, Gu Lingling.

Two sisters were walking in a busy market.

The sounds of shouting, talking, and the clatter of utensils in the market rose and fell, and the crowds of people moved in droves like carp swimming in the river in March.

Gu Lingling looked around like a lively elf, grinning and saying, "It seems like it's been a long time since I met Senior Sister during a mission."

In order to earn as much income as possible, the two sisters who went out each took on a task, and when it was their turn to rest, they would go back and take over from the other person.

It is almost impossible to encounter it during a mission.

This encounter happened because Gongsun Ningyu had just finished her mission and was about to go back, but she happened to see Gu Lingling also coming to hand in a mission, so she came over to meet her and go back together.

"Second Junior Sister is injured. Very seriously." Gongsun Ningyu said lightly.

"What!" Gu Lingling's smile suddenly stopped. "What's going on?"

Gongsun Ningyu briefly recounted the events and continued, "Judging from Xiaoyaofang's changes to the mission rules, the Red Tiger Sect may have received this news in advance. That's why they took such a risk. Fortunately, Second Junior Sister had a trump card, which foiled their plan."

No missions are available from midnight to noon, but what can be done during the day is no different from before, which means that the income of many forces that make a living from this will be reduced by 30% to 40%, or even more.

The Red Tiger Sect saw the crisis of its sect, so it planned to swallow up the Yin Yang Valley to expand its own living space.

Gu Lingling clenched her fists, "Humph, we must avenge this!"

Gongsun Ningyu had calmed down and said, "Second Junior Sister's injuries will heal sooner or later, but the living conditions in Yin Yang Valley will continue to deteriorate. I've noticed that many elite disciples are considering withdrawing. The changes to the mission rules will only make the situation worse. People may even become distant."

Gu Lingling scratched her head, "What should we do then? Little Yuchen still needs our training."

"There's always a way out. Let's just go and see." Gongsun Ningyu said, "There won't be any missions tonight anyway, so let's go back first. I'm worried about Second Junior Sister's injury..."
