Pei Zhou stood up and used an incantation to remove all the wild grass around the desolate grave.
He had borrowed this place to stay for one night after all, this could be considered as repaying the favor.
Before leaving, he glanced at the tombstone and thought that this tomb's owner was quite interesting, having set up a blank tombstone.
But that made sense too. When a person died, it was like a lamp going out and nothing could be taken with them. Whether or not a name was carved on the tombstone wasn't important.
That day, Pei Zhou finally returned to Xuantian Sect.
He first came to pay respects to Xiao Baidao.
"Master, I gained quite a lot from this training journey, especially several pieces of Frost Condensation Ore I mined. At the very least, they can sell for four or five hundred thousand spirit stones.
In addition, I used this time to draw over a hundred talismans, which can also be exchanged for tens of thousands of spirit stones.
I don't really have anywhere to spend money, so I'll give them to you first for emergencies!"
After Pei Zhou finished speaking, he took out the items and placed them on the table, looking at Xiao Baidao expectantly as he waited for praise from his master.
Among the five disciples, he was the most favored.
Because not only was his mouth sweet, he could also rake in money.
In the end, although Xiao Baidao's face carried gratification, there wasn't much excitement.
Pei Zhou thought, Did I give too much, so Master is too stunned?
"You may not know since you just came back, but the sect is no longer that short on funds now. Keep these things for yourself. If Master needs them, I'll tell you."
Pei Zhou was a bit bewildered.
The sect was no longer that short on funds?
What happened?
Did they discover a spirit stone mine?
It wasn't that he was belittling his own sect, but with that giant hole in their sect's finances, unless they had a spirit stone mine, there was no way to fill it!
Xiao Baidao continued, "Oh right, you still haven't met your Little Junior Sister, have you?
I'll have her come over now so the two of you can meet.
This child Xiao Xi not only has great talent, is clever and quick-witted, charming and adorable, but is also filial. It's just that she's too naive. In the future, you must protect her properly, understand?"
Pei Zhou: "..."
Wasn't Little Junior Sister supposed to be a little piece of trash with a damaged dantian?
When did she suddenly become greatly talented?
Before he had time to ask in detail, Xiao Baidao had urgent matters to deal with and left in a hurry.
Pei Zhou could only go look for Jun Wen.
Jun Wen was currently cultivating. When he saw Pei Zhou, his face first showed impatience, then his eyes lit up!
Pei Zhou was very familiar with that light.
Old Fifth definitely wanted talismans from him again.
Heh.
That would depend on his mood.
Jun Wen smiled brightly, "Second Senior Brother, you're finally back! Eldest Senior Brother and the others and I have all been hoping you'd come back sooner!"
When Pei Zhou heard this, he felt very good about himself.
Sure enough, with skills in hand, popularity was mine!
Among the five senior and junior brothers, his popularity was the best.
"Old Fifth, take me to meet Little Junior Sister.
Master previously said her dantian was damaged, but just now, he said she had great talent. What is going on?"
Jun Wen's eyes flickered, "What's so hard to understand? Talent and cultivation are two different things, after all.
Little Junior Sister is soft and delicate, and her thoughts are pure, yet she happens to like sparring with people in swordsmanship. If she later asks to spar with you, just agree, so she doesn't start crying."
Pei Zhou believed it and smiled, "Don't worry. Little junior sisters meant to be spoiled, I'll indulge her."
Jun Wen secretly laughed to himself.
Pei Old Second, you're going to be unlucky!
Hmph. In the past, you bullied me by relying on knowing how to craft talismans. This time, I'll get everything back with interest!
Jun Wen eagerly led Pei Zhou to find Feng Xi. Before they even entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Little Junior Sister, come out quickly! Second Senior Brother is back!"
Feng Xi immediately ran out of the room.
Then she froze.
She was truly amazed by Pei Zhou's appearance.
No wonder the book said Pei Zhou's looks were stunning and splendid like rising clouds. Sure enough, because of his arrival, even her little courtyard gained a bit more gorgeous beauty.
In fact, Xiao Baidao's disciples all had good looks, only each of them had their own characteristics.
Jiang Ji was handsome and refined, Jing Yan was gloomy and handsome, Jun Wen was bright and carefree, while Pei Zhou possessed a dazzling, gorgeous beauty.
Pei Zhou was already used to people being stunned by his appearance, he took out a fan from his storage ring and shook it, "Little Junior Sister, in the future, you can admire my, Second Senior Brother's beauty every day. There's no need to try to take it all in at once."
Feng Xi: "..."
He was also a narcissist!
Before she could speak, Pei Zhou took out a stack of talismans, "Little Junior Sister, this is our first meeting, and Second Senior Brother doesn't have much to give you, so I'll give you twenty talismans!"
Jun Wen felt a little sour.
In the past, he had exhausted himself cleaning Pei Zhou's room and running errands for him, yet he could only get two or three talismans in exchange.
The first time he met Little Junior Sister, he actually took out twenty talismans as a greeting gift.
Sigh!
How tragic it was to be born in a sect that favored girls over boys!
However, very quickly, this tiny bit of self-pity turned into schadenfreude!
Pei Old Second was actually giving Little Junior Sister talismans?
Wasn't this just humiliating himself?!
Little Junior Sister's talismans were carried by the sack!
A mere twenty talismans weren't even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth!
At this moment, Pei Zhou shook his fan and said, "Little Junior Sister, I am a talisman crafter. From now on, I'll take care of all your talismans!
You don't have to be too moved either. After all, your cultivation is low, so having more talismans for protection is very necessary.
Besides, these twenty talismans are only ten days to half a month's work for me, they don't count for much. Who made me our Xuantian Sect's talisman-crafting genius?!
In the future, just follow Second Senior Brother, and I guarantee I'll raise you until you're fair and plump."
Feng Xi said softly and sweetly, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. I also prepared a small return gift for you. Please accept it with a smile, Second Senior Brother."
