Chapter 28 – Is there another little gift?
Listen to the roar in the wind.
Wu Duantian and Zhao Lingtian's faces turned dark instantly.
"Senior, have I offended you in some way? We don't even know each other, there's no need to humiliate me like this, is there?"
Zhao Lingtian was indignant.
A genius like him was revered everywhere he went.
His dantian was injured by a demonic cultivator, and as a cultivator in the late Divine Transformation stage, his master Wu Duantian was constantly worried and busy because Zhao's exceptional talent could elevate the future of the Azure Cloud Sect significantly.
When had he ever been insulted like this?
Even just hearing the word "scram" made Zhao Lingtian's face burn with shame.
Yet there was no response from Evergreen Mountain.
Zhao Lingtian was both angry and embarrassed, wanting to leave but unwilling to give up the chance to restore his dantian, so he stood there foolishly, looking to Wu Duantian for help.
"Sigh, let's go. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If not, it means you have no fate with that senior." Wu Duantian shook his head and sighed, helpless in this situation.
If the other party were a cultivator of equal strength, he could at least seek justice for his disciple.
But so far, even though the mysterious cultivator had sent a voice transmission, Wu Duantian couldn't pinpoint their location.
This meant the other party could remain hidden if they wished.
From the start, they had the upper hand, and their strength was at least equal to if not greater than his. Continuing to pursue this would only bring humiliation.
"Master..." Zhao Lingtian was unwilling.
Wu Duantian patted his disciple's shoulder, not summoning his flying sword, but walking away on foot, pretending to be carefree as he said, "Let's go."

He felt worse than Zhao Lingtian.
As a master, he should protect his disciple, but now he could only swallow his pride and leave in disgrace.
On the other side, Lu Changtian and the disciples from the Enforcement Hall sat under a pine tree, still shaken.
They had come with fifty people, but now only thirty-six remained.
Fourteen disciples from the Enforcement Hall had died in the battle with the red-haired zombie.
Fortunately, a master in Evergreen Mountain had intervened, splitting the lightning to take down the red-haired zombie. Without that help, they would have suffered more losses.
"I wonder which boss did this, summoning heavenly lightning to cleanse evil. Such methods are beyond our reach," a disciple sighed.
Lu Changtian remained silent, but he deeply admired the mysterious master's skills.
If he could meet that master and receive some guidance, his cultivation path would surely be smoother.
"Senior Brother Lu, after this incident, should we continue the mission?"
"Yeah, Senior Brother Lu, we don't even know if the demonic cultivator is dead..."
Though the disciples didn't say it outright, their evasive glances and hesitant words showed their desire to retreat. Seeing this, Lu Changtian felt disdain and said calmly, "The sect master's mission must be completed. Given your current state, report the casualties first, and leave the rest to me."
"Oh, Senior Brother Lu, is that okay?"
"Evergreen Mountain is dangerous. How can you manage alone, Senior Brother Lu?"
...
...
"I wonder when the little gift will arrive..."
In a certain seven-day express hotel.
Chen Huaian was still holding his phone, reluctant to put it down.
"Speaking of which, the last protective amulet was of poor quality. Just one hike and my name on it was washed away by sweat..."
Thinking about it made Chen Huaian speechless.
After all the money he spent.
And the protective amulet faded?
No sincerity at all.
Hopefully, this time the official gift will be of better quality.
[Tsk, I wonder why this human boy is staring at that black box and giggling...]
A pair of round cat eyes peeked through the gap of a shoebox.
The cat sneakily peered outside.
[My body is too weak now, I probably can't face him head-on. Plus, this human seems to have some special ability, grabbing my neck makes me unable to move. To be safe, I'll wait until he's asleep to act!]
In the middle of the night.
Li Qingran was as usual cultivating.
Chen Huaian, before sleeping, foolishly checked his balance, and his face turned green.
Where did his money go?
In just two days, the money he just earned was almost gone?
"Looks like I need to start the second challenge live stream soon..."
But his foot wasn't healed yet, and for the live stream to be effective, the challenge couldn't be easier than Mount Tai, or who would watch? Either that or come up with something new, but either way, it wasn't friendly to his current injured state.
Chen Huaian was worried, and only fell asleep completely at four in the morning.
Moonlight crept in through the window, brushing over the windowsill and sofa, silently spilling onto the shoebox.
The motionless shoebox suddenly opened.
Four nimble black cat paws landed steadily on the table, making no sound.
In the darkness, a pair of cat eyes glowed red, staring intently at the man asleep on the bed.
It approached step by step.
Walking into the moonlight.
The shadow cast on the wall wasn't that of a cat, but a terrifying giant beast.
Outside the window, the wind stopped, the grass was still,
The chirping of insects ceased instantly.
Time became sticky at this moment...
