After dinner, Shi Hao brewed a pot of tea.
Shi Ji had already treated herself as Shi Hao's real sister and no longer stood on ceremony with him. She poured herself a cup first. Shi Ji took a sip of the Mortal Tea, then let out a long sigh of relief!
“By the way, yesterday after I killed that young bull demon, I found a golden collar around its neck. I think it must be a magic weapon. Sister Shi Ji, do you want to take a look? Maybe it will be useful to you!”
“Brother, I think you're insulting me. As a distinguished fourth-generation disciple of the Intercession Sect, do you think I'm the kind of person who would lack magic weapons?”
Shi Ji almost laughed. Although she lacked innate spiritual treasures, she wouldn't care about ordinary magic weapons. After all, she was a second-generation disciple of the Intercession Sect. Besides, what good things could a mere young bull demon have on its hands.
“If none of you want it, then I'll just throw it away.”
“Wait, let me take a look first.”
Seeing the bracelet that Shi Hao took down from the wall, Shi Ji felt instantly familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
“You said you didn't want it.” Shi Hao couldn't help but be speechless, but seeing Shi Ji's wide eyes, he could only put the bracelet in front of her.
“Cough, cough, brother, where did you get this bracelet?” After taking a few glances at the bracelet, Shi Ji stammered and asked Shi Hao.
“Didn't I tell you, I took it from the bull demon's neck.”
“So, you... you mean, the beef we just ate was... was from that bull demon?”
“Of course! You think beef grows out of thin air?”
Shi Ji gasped, her eyes filled with horror.
If she wasn't mistaken, the bracelet was the Vajra Bracelet from her master's mount, the Green Bull. No way, did she just eat her master's mount?
Could she still vomit it all out?
Shi Ji felt like she was about to be scammed by her younger brother. If her master found out, the relationship between the Intercession Sect and her master might be ruined because of a meal of beef, and she couldn't even guarantee that she wouldn't be slapped to death by her angry master.
“Master, anyway, we've already eaten it. Now we can only find a way to make amends.”
Cai Yun originally didn't understand what Shi Ji was saying, but when she saw the Vajra Bracelet, she understood everything.
She secretly admired her master, so brave, he dared to eat the mount of a saint.
“The cause and effect have already been established, we can only go back and ask Master how to solve it.” Shi Ji sighed with a wry smile, she also tried her best to see if she could save her cheap younger brother.
Although her brother had always been mysterious, Shi Ji didn't think he would be a match for the saint.
The cultivation of the Sage Laozi is unfathomable, and he is the first among the saints.
Moreover, below the saints, they are all like ants.
In the Primordial World, saints represent the invincible. Although there is only one realm difference between the Quasi-Saints and the Saints, the gap between them is enormous. Furthermore, Master Laozi is the highest-ranking saint among the six saints.
“Brother, we have something urgent that needs to be taken care of back at the sect. You stay home these few days, don't go out if you don't have to.”
After reminding Shi Hao, Shi Ji left with a heavy expression.
Seeing the urgency of the situation from her expression, Shi Hao didn't stop her. He could only lament that every time his sister came back, she would only stay for less than half a day.
He didn't know when they would see each other again. He would persuade his sister to stay next time, after all, the Intercession Sect was now just a pit.
…………
Learning that his disciple Shi Ji had just left and was coming to see him again, Tong Tian was taken aback.
Actually, it had been two days since their last meeting, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was just a blink of an eye.
Especially saints, they are immortal, and a blink of an eye is an aeon.
But Shi Ji was his most beloved disciple, so naturally Tong Tian would grant her request.
However, when he sensed the cultivation of Shi Ji's disciple Cai Yun, Tong Tian, who had always been unshakable even when the heavens collapsed, also widened his mouth in slight surprise.
Shi Ji's disciple, what kind of elixir did she take? Her cultivation had skyrocketed in the blink of an eye, almost catching up to most of the Intercession Sect's second-generation disciples.
You know, after reaching the Great Golden Immortal, improving your cultivation requires time and accumulation. So Shi Ji came to see me because of that disciple?！
“Disciple Shi Ji seeks to see Master today, there is a cause and effect I want to ask Master how to solve it.” Shi Ji knelt down in front of Tong Tian, not daring to look at him even once.
“What kind of cause and effect is it, that it has you so troubled? Although to avoid the Conferred God Tribulation, I have ordered the Intercession Sect disciples to stay out of the world, it doesn't mean that they can be bullied. You are a disciple of the Intercession Sect, you also represent the face of the Intercession Sect. Whoever provokes you, just kill them!” Tong Tian, at this time, seemed to be unaware of the severity of the situation.
“Master, what if it's Master Laozi?” Shi Ji said softly.
“How did you get involved with the Human Sect?” Tong Tian frowned slightly. Shi Ji was always obedient and never caused trouble.
Perhaps not knowing how to answer her master, Shi Ji remained silent for a long time before saying: “Cough, cough, Master, I accidentally ate your master's mount, the Green Bull.”
“You said you ate what?!”
Instantly, Tong Tian, who should have remained calm even if the heavens collapsed, looked at his disciple Shi Ji in shock. Damn it, even your senior brother's mount you dare to eat? Are you trying to make the Intercession Sect's fortune disperse faster?
Tong Tian calculated with his fingers and found that his senior brother's mount, the Green Bull, had indeed perished, and it had even been placed on the Conferred God List. Shi Ji had not died, but the Green Bull had actually taken Shi Ji's death劫and became the first disciple from the three sects to be listed!
“What exactly happened, your personality is such that I don't believe you would kill the Green Bull.” Tong Tian knew his disciple, she was always calm and respectful of her masters.
“Master, although I didn't kill the Green Bull, its death is also deeply related to me. The Green Bull's death was actually the doing of my cheap younger brother. I went to see him today and after we ate the prepared beef hotpot, I found out that it was Master's mount, the Green Bull. My cause and effect with Master have already been established, I don't know how to face Master, so I came to ask Master.” Then, Shi Ji briefly told Tong Tian the cause and effect of the matter.
“Shi Ji, this matter has little to do with you. Even I can't trace the cause and effect of the Green Bull, it's almost as if it was wiped clean. But with my senior brother's ability, he will probably borrow the Conferred God List from Senior Brother Yuanshi to inquire about the cause and effect of the Green Bull's remaining trace of true spirit. So, as long as you stay in Biyou Palace and don't go out, you should be fine.” Tong Tian said lightly.
“But what about my brother? Isn't he in great danger? Master, do you have any way to save his life?” Thinking about her brother's impending confrontation with Sage Laozi, the consequences were obvious.
Tong Tian reprimanded Shi Ji with a reproachful tone: “The Tribulation is coming, don't get entangled with him in cause and effect anymore. From today on, I forbid you from taking a step outside Biyou Palace!!”
