Lin Jiansheng pulled Yu Huang into the Yin Clanâs car, but Yu Huang said, âMaster, I bought a car. You can take mine.â
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng immediately stopped in his tracks and asked Yu Huang, âWhere are you?â
Yu Huang released her off-road vehicle. Lin Jiansheng stared at it for a moment before saying, âNot bad. How much did you spend?â
âSix hundred thousand.â
Lin Jiansheng nodded and commented, âItâs not expensive.â As long as it was not his money, 60 million was not a lot.
Yu Huang opened the door to the driverâs seat and sat in. Lin Jiansheng subconsciously opened the door to the front passenger seat. He had just lifted his foot and had yet to step in when he heard his precious disciple say, âMentor, you can sit in the back.â Lin Jiansheng retracted his leg and asked Yu Huang with a frown, âWhy?â
Yu Huang said, âSheng Xiao bought the front passenger seat. Itâs his exclusive seat.â
Lin Jianshengâs expression turned ugly. He asked, âHow much did he spend? Iâll pay double!â
Yu Huang said, â120,000.â
Lin Jiansheng did some calculations. Double the price of 120,000 yuan meant 240,000 yuan. Spending 240,000 yuan to buy a driverâs seat was not worth it.
âWho cares about this lousy seat!â Lin Jiansheng slammed the door of the front passenger seat shut, opened the door at the back, and sat down.
Yu Huang held back her laughter as she started the car and drove towards the Purifying Spirit Academy headquarters.
The cage containing the dog was placed on the front passenger seat by Yu Huang. As they drove, the dog obediently laid inside the cage and kept staring at Yu Huang, as though it could not get enough of her.
Lin Jiansheng stared at the mentally weak Companion Beast and sighed with emotion. âThe last time I saw it, it was very lively and healthy. It could play soccer and climb trees. Who would have thought that this little thing would die soon?â
Lin Jiansheng pondered over Yin Mingchongâs actions today and couldnât help but curse again. âThis bastard Yin Mingchong is really cunning. First, it was the Blazing Moon Art, then, it was the Companion Beast! Every time he did good deeds, he would take out things that belonged to the Prime Master. The Prime Masterâs good reputation was exploited by him.â
âIâve never seen anyone more hypocritical than him. Itâs no wonder that I didnât trust the Prime Master back then.â
Along the way, Lin Jiansheng cursed Yin Mingchong nonstop. Yu Huang listened silently and did not refute.
Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Purifying Spirit Academy, Lin Jiansheng brought Yu Huang back to his resting room.
After confirming that this place was safe, Yu Huang opened the metal cage and carried the Companion Beast out.
The Companion Beast, Yu Huang, smelled the familiar scent of its young master, and instantly became docile. Yu Huang quietly laid in Yu Huangâs embrace while stretching out his tongue to gently lick the back of Yu Huangâs hand, and his actions were extremely intimate.
Yu Huang stroked Yu Huangâs fur. When she felt that the little beast in her arms had become skin and bones, her heart instantly ached.
Lin Jiansheng took out two bottles of mineral water from the fridge and threw one to Yu Huang. âDrink a bottle of water. Since itâs free, itâs a waste not to drink it.â
Yu Huang caught the bottle of mineral water and placed it on the table behind her. Yu Huang saw the water bottle and could not help but lick his dry lips. Seeing this, Yu Huang quickly opened the bottle cap and brought the bottle to Yu Huangâs mouth.
The bottle tilted, and water flowed out. Yu Huang stuck out its tongue to sweep away the water stains, and drank half a bottle of water in one go. Only then did it let out two cries, and jumped back into Yu Huangâs arms with satisfaction.
Lin Jiansheng placed a soundproofing talisman outside the room and lowered his head to say to Yu Huang, âSpeak. What do you have to say to me?â
âItâs about the beast.â
âYu Huang?â Lin Jiansheng stared at Yu Huang, who was in Yu Huangâs arms, and asked in bewilderment, âWhatâs wrong with this little thing?â
Yu Huang told Lin Jiansheng, âYin Mingchong hid the truth behind the Spirit Gathering Pill. Refining the Spirit Gathering Pill can indeed raise oneâs cultivation level, but if ordinary people forcibly refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, they will suffer.â
âWhat kind of principle is this?â Lin Jiansheng was astonished. âIs there a problem with the Spirit Gathering Pill?â
Yu Huang told Lin Jiansheng, âFrom the day Yu Huang acknowledged me as his master, his soul has been imprinted with mine. Companion Beasts will only acknowledge one master for their entire lives. Even if they die, the Spirit Gathering Pill they transform into will recognize its master. When others forcibly refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, they will suffer the backlash of the Spirit Gathering Pill and suffer.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Lin Jiansheng seemed dense, he was actually very meticulous. Upon hearing this, he immediately guessed Yin Mingchongâs true motive.
âYin Mingchong intentionally treated Yu Huang as a surprise prize. He had already expected that you would become the final victor. If you refined the Spirit Gathering Pill, you would definitely go berserk. If you didnât go berserk and instead increased your cultivation, then your identity would be exposed!â
The more he analyzed, the more Lin Jiansheng admired Yin Mingchong.
âThat old bastard is truly cunning.â
Yu Huang agreed with Lin Jianshengâs opinion of Yin Mingchong. She said, âYin Mingchong is indeed cunning. This person is even harder to deal with than I thought.â
Staring at the Companion Beast in her arms, Yu Huang felt pity for it. âMentor, Yu Huang was given to me by my father. I will not refine it.â âOf course,â Lin Jiansheng said. âCompanion Beasts are like pets raised at home. Which mentor would bear to eat their own pet?â Yu Huang cried out again. Yu Huang quickly lowered her head to stroke Yu Huangâs fur.
Looking at this loving scene, Lin Jiansheng belatedly realized a detail that he had overlooked
âHow do you know so much about the Companion Beast and the Spirit Gathering Pill?â
A year ago, this disciple was still a little fool who knew nothing. There was no reason for her to understand so much knowledge in a yearâs time. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit Continent did not breed any Companion Beasts. How would Yu Huang know so much about Companion Beasts? How did she know?
Lin Jiansheng looked at Yu Huang thoughtfully and probed, âAre you hiding something from
n
me?â
Yu Huang felt a chill down her spine.
Mentor was too smart! When she met Lin Jianshengâs eyes, which seemed to see through everything, Yu Huang knew that this matter was not easy to resolve. Yu Huang hung her head low and didnât speak. She was hesitating if she should tell Lin Jiansheng about Su Tingxue.
Lin Jiansheng could tell that Yu Huang was worried. His tone instantly became stern. âYou and I are mentor and disciple who had a blood pact. Donât you trust me?â.
Yu Huangâs gaze flickered. She said, âMentor, would you believe me if I said that a foreign soul resides in my Spiritual Abode?â
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianshengâs expression changed.
His gaze was sharp as he stared at Yu Huangâs head, and he berated her with a heavy tone, âNonsense! The Spiritual Abode is a forbidden place for cultivators, so how can it be opened to others?! You let an outsiderâs soul stay in your mind. Arenât you afraid that the other party will seize your body when your Spiritual Energy is weak?!â
When Lin Jiansheng heard this news, what he was most concerned about was not the identity of the foreign soul, but Yu Huangâs safety. This made Yu Huang feel warm inside.
