This time, she finally arrived at the Taohua Sect without any detours. However, the attitude of these people towards her was somehow strange. Although Lin Shuirui was gentle, there was a hint of indifference in her bones, which she could still sense. Moreover, what about those few people outside who were trying to kill her?
But thinking about these things was useless, she looked around and found herself lying on a large black wooden carved bed with auspicious beasts carved on the headboard, and a faint scent of incense wafted from the tip of her nose, making her involuntarily drowsy. As soon as her eyelids closed, she fell into a deep sleep again.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but when Mo Zichen opened her eyes again, she found that the sky had already darkened. She sat up and felt that all the pain in her body had disappeared, only to feel a bit tired. She could still hear people talking outside, but their voices were very low and unclear. Mo Zichen got up and wanted to walk closer to listen more clearly. At this time, the door creaked open, and a little girl pushed it open. The little girl had a round face, big eyes, and two braids tied behind her head. She looked at Mo Zichen with great curiosity, "I heard that Twelfth Brother brought back a person, and it's actually you." Her eyes were as black as ink, blinking repeatedly, looking very cute.
Mo Zi Chen asked strangely: "Have we met before?"
The little girl smiled with pursed lips: "Of course you don't know, but when my brother drove you away, I was behind him."
Mo Zi Chen suddenly realized, "So the shepherd boy who misled me was actually your younger brother."
The little girl nodded and said: "My name is Du Guanyun, that's my brother Du Guanlan. We two are the youngest disciples of our master. If you can join us as a disciple, should I be called 'older sister'?"
Mo Zi Chen saw her naive appearance and suddenly felt a headache, "This, I'm the one who brought you in as Qin Shixiong's junior, shouldn't I be younger than all of you?"
Du Guan Yun shook his head, "It's not like that. I heard that Qin Shixiong has not yet formally taken over as the Sect Master, according to the rules of the Jiuhua Xianzong, he is not allowed to accept disciples yet. So, it can only be a substitute teacher accepting you as a disciple, and having you pay respects under my late master's name!"
She chattered on and on, like a lovely skylark, leaving Mo Zichen bewildered and unsure of how to respond, so he could only smile in reply. Du Guanyun spoke for a while before slapping her forehead, "Ah, I forgot! Eldest Senior Sister asked me to bring you some food." After that, she pulled out a food box from behind her back, which Mo Zichen hadn't seen her produce earlier, probably thanks to some sort of storage artifact.
She curiously asked: "You are all cultivators, do you still need to eat?"
Du Guanyun said, "Of course. As long as the foundation is successful and you can transform your body, wash away the turbid air in your body, then you can avoid grains. There are still many people here who need to eat. So it's not a big deal to make an extra portion for you." She opened the food box, inside were four small dishes of vegetables, a dish of cured meat, and a large bowl of yellow and white rice, the aroma wafting up and making one's appetite open up.
Mo Zi Chen smiled and said, "I won't be polite then." He picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating. Du Guan Yun said, "Eat slowly, I'll come back to collect the bowls and chopsticks later." After that, he retreated.
Mo Zi Chen had been busy all day and was really hungry, so she brought out all the dishes and placed them on the table to enjoy. At this time, Tiao Tiao, who had been hiding behind her, suddenly came out and called out twice in front of a plate of fruit. Mo Zi Chen laughed and said: "Do you want to eat too?"
The fruit was crimson in color, about the size of a walnut, and each one was full of juice. Mo Zi Chen and Tiao Tiao shared them to eat together, one person and one beast, and they were quite delighted.
Du Guanyun walked out of the room with empty hands, and at the other end of the corridor, her younger brother Du Guanlan was squatting on the railing, chewing on a grass stem. Seeing her come out, he said somewhat reproachfully: "It's just that I asked you to send food for her, how could you be so big-mouthed and say everything?"
"What did I say?"
Du Guanlan said, "The matter of Second Master taking over the position of Sect Leader is not a big secret, but it's still not something that can be casually told to an outsider. Moreover, there are some things involved here that even other sects don't know about. And her identity and background aren't entirely clear either. What's the point of saying so much?"
He jumped down and stood in front of Du Guanyun, with a stern face, his hands on his hips, looking very dignified.
Du Guanyun reached out and knocked on his head: "At your age, you're still trying to act cool in front of your sister? Your brain only has one string, straightforward, no turning back. I'm just testing you, do you understand?"
Her eyes showed a cunning expression: "You all suspect that her origin is not proper, saying that she might be an internal line sent by some place, but her low cultivation is indeed a fact. The senior sister has already thought of a way to investigate her identity, but for the time being, there is no news to send over. I deliberately said it out, just to test her reaction."
This little girl, who was as innocent and naive as a baby in front of Mo Zi Chen, now smiled like a cunning fox.
Du Guanlan was knocked on the head by her and suddenly lost his momentum, weakly asking: "What did you see?"
Du Guan Yun shook his head: "I couldn't see it, at least under my 'Dui Ming Mu', she didn't show any abnormality. If she was really an enemy's mole, then she disguised herself too well. Moreover, she indeed just started cultivating and her cultivation method is also our sect's heart method."
"That doesn't prove anything, the entry-level mental method of our school is roughly the same for all factions. It's not impossible that Tianyan Sect wants to probe. Maybe she's just bold and meticulous, so someone sent her to fool you."
Du Guan Yun said, "No matter what, as long as we keep a close eye on her, she won't be able to turn the tables. You're not fond of assigning tasks to those junior brothers of yours, are you? Go tell them to stay put and not wander around these days."
Du Guanlan agreed and bounced out, Du Guanyun pouted and hid in the corner, staring at Mo Ziyu's room.
Mo Zi Chen stayed here for two or three days, and her spirit was fully restored. She got up early in the morning to meditate, feeling that the spiritual energy here was abundant and the immortal aura was pressing down on her. Indeed, it was worthy of being a fairy's cave mansion. However, over the past two days, whenever she wanted to go out, she was stopped by Du Guan Yun with a smiling face, and each time the excuse was different. He said that she had been injured by the golden thread worm and the poison had not dissipated, so he did not allow her to move around randomly, only letting her wander in this courtyard.
