Xiao Yue jumped up and down saying: "The chapter updates are less than 50%, just wait until midnight and you can read it!" Wen Ting listened to Yun Mian say this, and followed her train of thought for a moment, but after a while shook his head: "I think it's unlikely..."

  "Why?"

  "According to what you said, this assessment seems to be a big deal. Since all the foxes of the same age have gone to participate, it's likely that many people are paying attention. I think if someone among these ten people doesn't show up, there should be news coming out soon, but so far, it seems like no one has reported any missing fox officials."

  Wen Ting analyzed calmly, Yun Mian was stunned for a moment, but also felt that Wen Ting's words were reasonable and well-founded.

  If there are still relatives, he has been missing for two days and one night. Qingqiu information is well-informed, someone must have come to look for him long ago.

  Wen Ting was originally frowning in thought, but when he turned his head, he noticed the little white fox looking at him with concern. Before Wen Ting could react, Yunmian had already leaned over and rubbed against him affectionately with her forehead, her paws stepping forward as if she wanted to bury herself in his arms.

  Wen Ting originally didn't have any particularly sad or disappointed feelings, but Yun Mian's sudden movement made him quite flustered.

  He hastily retreated a step and changed the subject: "I'll write down those class notes for you first? As for memories, I won't be able to recall them for the time being, it's better to think of a solution later."

  "Ahh!"

  Wen Ting said so, Yun Mian was naturally delighted, and hurriedly jumped into the cave, fetched many paper and pens, and happily placed them in front of Wen Ting, looking at him expectantly.

  Wen Ting was slightly stunned, still feeling a bit constrained in her heart, but she picked up the pen given by Yunmian and began to write.

  Even in the shape of a fox, he wrote very quickly and beautifully. At first, writing one or two characters didn't reveal anything, but now with large pieces of text written out, there was no sign of him being unable to write or hesitating, his handwriting had a lot of character.

  Yunmian didn't know that Wen Ting was born as a nine-tailed fox god, and he could transform into human form from birth. He was much more intelligent than ordinary foxes since childhood, and he practiced writing characters earlier. She leaned in front of him, looking surprised, and occasionally let out a "wow" of surprise. When she saw Wen Ting's beautiful handwriting, she was delighted, and when she saw the characters she recognized, she was also happy.

  Her enthusiasm made Wen Ting feel embarrassed, he had never been so straightforward with his emotions before and didn't know how to react.

  He said: "Actually, those little symbols of yours aren't that bad, I can understand them...... However, in the future, there will inevitably be places where you have to write characters. Just imitate how I write them, and if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me and I'll try my best to teach you."

  Yunmian let out a loud "Ah" and happily thanked Wen Ting.

  Wen Ting looked at her happy appearance and was also infected with joy. But he slightly raised his eyebrows, and before long, he couldn't help but space out again.

  He didn't say it out loud, but after all, his mind was empty and had no memory... Although common sense things or things he learned before seemed to recall without problems, he didn't know what situation he was in now, which ultimately made people worry.

  "Right!"

  Wen Ting hadn't thought of anything yet, when suddenly Yun Mian said with a smile: "It's still early today, do you want to go out and take a walk with me?"

  She looked back at him in the courtyard this morning.

  Yunmian saw Wenhouting looking at himself, and instead felt a bit uneasy, shaking his tail and proposing: "I saw you outside the cave earlier, and you seemed to be paying attention to something. You didn't come here for nothing, did you? If we take a walk around, maybe you'll remember something... What do you think? Do you want to go take a look?"

  Wen Ting was taken aback, he hadn't expected Yun Mian to notice his previous behavior at the entrance of the Fox Cave.

  He indeed had such an idea before, and Yunmeng also seems to be going to the school for training recently. He is familiar with the surroundings and it's good for him to go out alone...

  "Alright."

  Yunmeng happily spun around in a circle and jumped up, then ran out of the cave with a few quick steps, waving his tail at Wen Ting outside.

  Wen Ting hurriedly chased after him.

  The day Wen Ting appeared, it snowed heavily all night, and he himself was buried in the snow, so of course his footprints were gone. Now Qingqiu is still surrounded by white snow, and the small paths between the mountains are covered with fallen leaves and branches.

  Wen Ting followed Yun Mian as she walked, watching her drag her tail on the snowy ground and jump lightly with each step, leaving a small footprint every time.

  The path in the snow was harder to recognize than usual, but Yunmian looked very familiar. She seemed extremely excited about introducing her home, jumping and urging along the way, with her tail wagging rapidly. She detailedly told Wen Ting how to identify each road sign, which roads had distinctive trees, and which roads led to rivers where they could drink water.

  Wen Ting naturally remembered every word she said along the way, but strangely, he didn't have a single sense of familiarity with any of the trees or plants here, just like he had never been there before.

  Wen Ting tried to recall the characteristics of the road according to Yunmian's words, but as soon as he remembered, his head hurt extremely, as if something was preventing him from thinking.

  Yuan Chu saw him fall behind a few steps and hurriedly ran back with his tail, asking concernedly: "Are you okay?"

  "It's nothing."

  Wen Ting shook his head, and once he stopped reminiscing, he felt a bit better. He composed himself and said, "Let's keep going, I also want to get familiar with the road."

  Yunmian saw him regain his spirit, although still worried, but also nodded and continued running forward.

  ……

  At this time, Xiyuan and others had just come out of school.

  The three of them were unlike Yunmian, after finishing their cultivation and coming out from Hu Guan's place, they would always take a stroll again.

  Wenhe and Qingyang followed Xiyuan, according to Xiyuan's habit, he would always go to the entrance of the little white fox's den, whether there was something or not, and tease her. Today Yunmian ran out of school too quickly, they didn't notice and left, Xiyuan was in a bad mood all the way, looking around as if searching for something.

  Wenhe looked at the road he had walked for many years, which was as familiar to him as his own home, and worriedly glanced at Xiyuan, who was frowning, and advised: "Speaking of which...Xiyuan, shouldn't we consider taking a different route? Now that we have to go to school every day, it's a big detour to come this way. In the future, if our workload increases... Besides, Tuantuan is already the young master's wife..."

  "What's it to you? The Eight Freaks of Jiangnan are mysteriously using the young master's wife's name, and no one is allowed to discuss it?"

  Xi Yuan frowned and proudly raised her chin, saying: "The Fox Palace didn't stipulate that we can't walk on the path that Young Master's wife has walked on, nor did it say that we can't talk to Young Master's wife!"

  The problem is that doesn't look like a normal speech!

  Wenhe was anxious in his heart, but seeing Xueyuan's expression, he knew that the other party was determined to do so, and he closed his mouth without saying anything.

  Xiyuan felt Wenhe's worried gaze falling on him, but he ignored it and continued walking forward as usual.

  He has been feeling inexplicably anxious lately, ever since Yunmian was chosen as the Young Master's wife. This anxiety is hard to put into words, but he can only attribute it to the fact that Yunmian was chosen as the Young Master's wife and will have to cultivate with them in the Fox Palace in the future, which seems unreasonable and makes him feel uncomfortable.

  She had only opened her spiritual wisdom for a few days, couldn't even write words, and still had an ugly birthmark on her face... obviously just a little foolish white fox, what's good about her!

  Xi Yuan was annoyed, thinking unclearly, the inexplicable anger made the three red tails behind him swing very impatiently. However, strangely, he had clearly made up his mind in his heart, but from time to time, the image of her being hit by the stone he threw that day, with eyes red and tears welling up, would appear in his mind, this image couldn't be shaken off, annoying him so much that his chest felt very uncomfortable.

  Xiyuan felt a mouthful of stagnant air with nowhere to vent, and angrily slapped the ground with her tail, saying: "—Being bullied by me makes you cry! Being forced into marriage by Young Master also didn't make you cry? Did Young Master even ask for your opinion?!"

  “……？！”

  Xiyuan suddenly said loudly and out of the blue, "I'm going to die!" Wenhe was startled by him and almost stumbled, turning his head to look at him in horror.

  Qingyang looked at Xueyuan with confusion and asked, "Xueyuan, what are you talking about? Playing with frogs? Have you played with frogs with the young master before? Can we still catch frogs in this season?"

  However, Xiyuan was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't hear Qingyang's words, only the tail behind him wagging faster.

  "I like the ones with long legs, they look so majestic." Qingyang continued to say wistfully, "Last time I caught a good one and swallowed it in one gulp, my mom scolded me for a long time, saying that as a cultivator, I shouldn't eat meat, and forced me to spit it out..."

  Wenhe actually didn't understand what Xiyuan was saying either, and could only helplessly watch as the two companions chattered away like chickens and ducks. He felt that among the three of them, he was the only one paying attention to the road. Suddenly, his foot came to a sudden stop, and he said, "...... Is that... Tuantuan?"

  Xiyuan was originally in a state of furrowed brows and distraction, but when Wenhe said the two words "Tuan Tuan", he suddenly came back to his senses, stopped in his tracks, and looked straight ahead.

  Yunmian was originally introducing the surroundings to Wenhui, and they were about to arrive at her favorite lake. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she walked, bouncing up and down. At this moment, because Wenhui had fallen behind a few steps, Yunmian was jumping up and down in place, urging him to hurry up, her three white tails swishing back and forth behind her.

  Xiyuan saw Yunmian's appearance and hesitated for a moment, subconsciously lifting her foot to walk over, opening her mouth in annoyance: "Hey! Clown Eight..."

  Then his last "strange" word was stuck in his throat before he could say it.

  At this time, a fox emerged agilely from the grass beside the road.

  He was as white as Yunmian, with a red mark on his forehead. His body was slightly larger than Yunmian's, and he walked steadily, looking like a young man of the same age.

  Yunmian saw him come out and softly called out with a happy tone: "Wen Ting!"

  Before Wen Ting could react, she had already run over to nuzzle him. Seeing a leaf that had fallen from who-knows-where on Wen Ting's ear, she carefully plucked it off with her paw.

  Wen Ting didn't know why Yun Mian was approaching so close, and she subconsciously shrunk back a bit. It wasn't until Yun Mian picked up the leaves that Wen Ting vaguely understood what was going on. She then conveniently blinked her eyes and shook off the leaves from her hair.

  After he finished shaking his fur, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone watching them on this road, and curiously turned his head to look over.

  Only a few zhang away from them, three foxes stood stupidly, seemingly very surprised.

  Just a moment ago, she was still sleeping with Yunmeng and said "You see, we really have nothing to do with each other", but now her mouth is wide open, yet no sound comes out.

  In the eastern hills of Qingqiu, there were many little foxes who had never heard of Yunmian's name. Previously, they all thought that the young master would choose Tianhu, the heavenly fox goddess of Qingqiu City, as his wife. Who would have thought that the legendary young master's wife would appear on their side? For a moment, it was like a thunderbolt striking still water, stunning all the little foxes. Everyone was too shocked to react, and they could only stare blankly.

  Yunmian sat there in a daze, her back tense, not daring to move at all. In fact, among all the people present, no one was more confused than she was.

  The fox officer calmly rolled up the announcement after finishing, and slowly said: "The four people who have reported their names, please report to the East Xian Palace at Chen time tomorrow. I will make detailed arrangements for you later, and those who are late will not be allowed."

  This should have been the time for the four of them to respond in unison, but the empty ground was still silent. The fox officer didn't care about them either, and simply put the announcement into his sleeve.

  "Hey!...... Sir!"

  Yunmian thought Fox Officer was leaving and hastily took a step forward, blurting out.

  Previously when learning Tao in the dojo, Master Huo Guan always took on the role of instructor, so he subconsciously referred to him as such.

  Even though she was always confused, the time it took to integrate into Qingqiu wasn't that long, but she also knew that being selected as a companion for the young master of Fox Palace wasn't an easy thing. Although she couldn't tell the difference between being the young master's wife and his study companion, such a huge unexpected event had befallen her, making her at a loss for what to do.

  Yunmian originally wanted to ask if it was a mistake, but unexpectedly the main fox official put away the announcement and looked at her, calling out: "Fairy Yunmian."

  "Is it? Is it?"

  "Madam Fox wants to see you. The carriage is ready, please come with us."

  When she heard that the Fox Mistress wanted to see her, Yunmian was slightly surprised, but before she could ask again, the host fox official had already calmly made way for a bit of space, indicating that she should follow him.
