CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 281 ONE THING SUPPRESSES ANOTHER

Fox Ruoshui sighed in relief as she saw the whole Divine Martial Sect coming to greet her.

It was truly nerve-wracking for them to rashly seek refuge with the Human Clan, not to mention that Fox Ruoshui had been tricked before.

But this time, it seemed truly different.

If she could find a safe haven for the Nine-Tailed Clan, she would be at ease.

Knowing the Nine-Tailed Clan preferred tranquility, Bai Hua Immortal Venerable then asked the other disciples to disperse.

Only Lu Xingzhi was left, along with a few other Venerables.

"Miss Fox," Bai Hua Immortal Venerable lightly laughed: "Your reputation is well-deserved, truly a beauty unparalleled."

Fox Ruoshui was a bit puzzled: "Well-known? Am I really that famous?"

Bai Hua Immortal Venerable responded: "Miss, your affair with Ling Tian was quite sensational."

She paused, then said: "Back then, you turned gray-haired overnight. Ling Tian also locked himself up at Ling Tian Peak for three years. Since then, he began to drown his sorrows in wine."

Fox Ruoshui glanced at Ling Tian Sword Master: "Is that so?"

Ling Tian Sword Master scratched his head, "I don’t quite remember."

People probably have an innate ability to forget their pain.

Those days must have been quite unbearable for him.

But he always had his responsibilities, indulging himself for three years was already his limit.

The intense pain was forcibly buried.

Now, reunited with Fox Ruoshui, there was only joy left, the pain of the past was unrecallable and he didn’t want to think about it either.

Shi Nian watched anxiously from the side.

Wasn’t his Master quite good at playing the victim before?

How come he’s not doing it now?

What a great opportunity!

To speak of his pain and longing, wouldn’t that be good?

Fox Ruoshui glanced at Ling Tian Sword Master and suddenly let out a light laugh: "Fool."

Ling Tian Sword Master just grinned sheepishly.

Shi Nian: "???"

She felt like she was the real fool here.

Forget it, she’s forever single, better not to give unsolicited advice.

Bai Hua Immortal Venerable, observing the unique understanding between Ling Tian Sword Master and Fox Ruoshui, felt the last bit of reluctance in her heart suddenly disappear.

She smiled radiantly, "Miss Fox, I’ve already found a place and had people start developing it. The Fox Clan should be able to move in soon. The place is not far from Ling Tian Peak. Should the Fox Clan have any needs, feel free to speak with Sect Leader Ling Tian."

Fox Ruoshui paused, looking at Ling Tian Sword Master with suspicion: "Sect Leader?"

"During the Sect Leader’s absence, all matters of the sect were organized. Lu Xingzhi will report on this later. Now that the Sect Leader has returned, the authority should be handed back." Bai Hua Immortal Venerable respectfully offered the token.

Ling Tian Sword Master: "..."

He had almost forgotten that he was still the Sect Leader.

What were those Supreme Elders thinking, letting him be Sect Leader.

"Bai Hua... how about you continue managing the sect matters?" Ling Tian Sword Master grimly suggested.

Or should he just run away again tomorrow?

That won’t do either.

The Fox Clan has just arrived, and integration and resettlement will take some time.

If he just ran off, what would that make him?

Lu Xingzhi couldn’t help but take pleasure in Ling Tian Sword Master’s discomfort.

He had suffered for so long; it was his Master’s turn now!

Bai Hua Immortal Venerable found it amusing, but knowing that Ling Tian Sword Master wasn’t cut out for this, she said: "For the time being, Xingzhi is already familiar with various affairs. Let him continue managing them."

Lu Xingzhi: "???"

Ling Tian Sword Master immediately patted Lu Xingzhi cheerfully on the shoulder: "Good disciple, then you continue managing it."

Lu Xingzhi, gritting his teeth: "Master... this isn’t quite right..."

"What’s wrong with that? The master has demands, the disciple fulfills them. This is only natural and as it should be," Ling Tian Sword Master declared.

Lu Xingzhi wore a look of misery.

Fox Ruoshui, seeing this, couldn’t help but knock Ling Tian Sword Master: "Earlier you were still claiming injustice! I see no injustice at all. It’s clearly your responsibility, yet you just shove it onto your disciple? That’s simply preposterous!"

Lu Xingzhi almost burst into tears: "Mother!"

This "Madam", was incredibly sincere and heartfelt.

Hearing this, Fox Ruoshui felt somewhat embarrassed and glared at Ling Tian Sword Master again: "No shirking responsibility! When we get back, I will supervise you!"

Ling Tian Sword Master didn’t dare to retort a single word and awkwardly complied with a bitter smile.

Seeing this, the Venerables couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Ling Tian Sword Master is shameless, neither beatings nor scoldings work on him; all he cares about is not losing face, with no concern for his image.

Yet, in this world, there’s always a bane for everyone and Fox Ruoshui was naturally his.

"Miss Fox, we won’t hold up your reunion any longer, let’s meet for tea once you’ve settled down," Bai Hua Immortal Venerable gently said.

Fox Ruoshui hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The Fox Clan’s area was not yet developed, and Shi Nian with a grand gesture, led the nine-tailed clan straight to Ling Tian Peak’s entertainment street.

Initially, these naive and innocent foxes were a bit timid and held back.

But once enchanted by new things, they were instantly enthralled.

Shi Nian arranged for the disciples of Ling Tian Peak to accompany the Fox Clan; these disciples already had extensive experience hosting guests and took great care of the foxes.

While Fox Ruoshui was still worried.

Young foxes were already running and jumping in their original forms on the streets.

In the central plaza, fox drunkards also made an appearance.

In the cinema, when the climax arrived, cheers from both humans and foxes erupted simultaneously.

In the bookstore, foxes were also engrossed in reading.

The things here were so novel that the Fox Clan didn’t want to leave at all.

"Ruoshui girl, let us play here a bit longer, you go finish your business," an elderly fox sent a telepathic message to Fox Ruoshui while reading a book and nodding his head.

Fox Ruoshui was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly: "Yes."

This time, the Fox Clan might really have found a place to call home.

This is good.

Atop Ling Tian Peak.

Shi Nian specifically went to the Demon Clan to bring Yun Jian and Lin Tiantian over.

Upon receiving the news, Mu Nanqing also hurried day and night and had just arrived at Ling Tian Peak.

Aside from Lu Zhuoyan, people of Ling Tian Peak were reunited once again.

Everyone naturally called Fox Ruoshui "Madam", and though she blushed, she did not deny it.

At night.

A place was arranged for the Fox Clan to settle in.

Fox Ruoshui and the Fox Clan went there together.

Time was tight, but Divine Martial Sect did their utmost.

What comforted the Fox Clan the most was that the place resembled their original village by seventy to eighty percent.

It seems that Ling Tian had described it in advance, and the people of Divine Martial Sect rebuilt it here for them.

Regardless of other things, this thoughtfulness really made them comfortable.

During the evening.

The Fox Clan people gathered to discuss.

"Ruoshui. The Human Clan indeed seems very sincere. I think we can settle down here comfortably."

Fox Ruoshui nodded: "We should be able to live here peacefully for a while. It’s also quiet here, so everyone need not worry about being disturbed."

Suddenly a young fox coughed.

Fox Ruoshui looked at him puzzled.

The fox said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Ruoshui, I just realized that maybe I don’t like quiet so much. Can I go down to Ling Tian Peak tomorrow to drink? Their alcohol is very tasty."

"I want to go too! Tomorrow they say there’s a new storybook!"

"I want to see a movie too, the story of Green Snake and White Snake is so good. I just wonder when there will be a movie about our Fox Clan."

"Look everyone, I made a Special Effect Talisman," said one, showcasing a talisman with multicolored effects—it was indeed the same kind as Ling Tian’s.

Fox Ruoshui was momentarily dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

What happened to the Fox Clan’s aloof persona?

Isn’t it holding up anymore?
