"Ta, ta, ta, ta."
The person who came knocked was so urgent that before Mu Dingzhen had time to clean up, Xiaopang ran to open the door in excitement. He was so frightened that he almost dropped the jade in his hand to pieces.
Mu Dingzhen cursed the little fat idiot in his heart. If someone saw the dignified Dingzhen Immortal actually taking stock of the property in person, wouldn't it greatly damage the image of the master?
Sitting upright as if Fei Ye was there, he raised his shoulders and covered his ears with his body, then winked at Xue Ying quickly.
Xue Ying'er understood it and hurriedly ran to the master's side. She also imitated his high shoulders, sat upright, and used her body to block the gold and jade belongings.
The hall door is open, the night breeze blows in, and the cool breath blows on your face.
When they saw the guests outside the door, the master and disciples were startled.
I saw her long hair neatly curled up, an oval face, a delicate and fair face, and a little charm in her peach-leaf eyes. She had a dark green velvet cloak on her shoulders, a black slim-fitting suit underneath, and a curvy figure. , a long sword is worn on Yingying Liu's waist.
But she is a dashing young woman.
Mu Haotian and Shuang Shu stood up in excitement and exclaimed in unison:
"Senior Sister Ting'er!"
The visitor turned out to be their senior sister Mu Ting, who had been working outside for many years.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the senior sister's tenderness and weakness had long since faded away, and she had gained a bit of charm and strength, but the three of them still recognized her at a glance.
Mu Ting smiled softly, stretched out her arms to hug the two girls who were rushing towards her, hugged them tightly, gently rubbed their vests with her palms, her eyes and eyebrows were full of happiness and joy that could not be concealed.
Only Mu Haotian noticed that there seemed to be two lines of undried tears on the senior sister's face.
After a moment of tenderness, Mu Ting let go of her tearful eyes and looked at Mu Haotian who was standing close to her. She wanted to pat her junior brother's shoulder out of habit, but her hand stopped in mid-air, and she hugged him instead.
She smiled and said:
"Tian'er, you've grown so tall."
Mu Haotian's body trembled, and in his mind, the scene of his senior sister taking them to cultivate flowers and herbs on the southern hillside and teaching his twin sisters to make sachets vividly appeared in his mind.
With tears in his eyes he said:
"Senior sister...it's been so many years, why haven't you come home to see..."
Hearing this, Mu Ting's eyes turned red and she bit her lip, but finally no more tears fell.
Home.
It was a familiar yet distant word to her.
In fact, she had been here a long time ago. She had been wandering outside for a long time. Listening to the laughter of her junior brothers and sisters inside, she felt like a wanderer returning to her hometown in this strange town. She shed tears and felt uneasy. She stopped for a long time before she mustered up the courage. Knock on the door.
How do you teach her how to answer when questioned by her relatives?
There are only a few disciples in Daoxuanwu Mountain. All the disciples are fatherless and motherless orphans adopted by the master. They are as close to each other as brothers and sisters. Back then, Mu Ting suffered a sudden disaster and left her hometown, wandering alone for several years.
Mu Haotian, sisters Xue Ying and Yu Yan often miss their senior sister, but they can only occasionally listen to their master talk about her current situation.
Reunited today, both parties couldn't help but hold hands with each other. Even though there were thousands of words in my heart, I didn't know where to start asking or answering. Even Yu Yan, who was always cheerful, just had tears in her eyes and quietly nestled beside her senior sister.
"I've met Senior Sister!"
Jing Ling, holding tea in her hand, stood in a row with Xiaopang and Xiaozhuang, and saluted in unison.
Seeing Mu Ting's confusion, Xueying quickly explained:
"Senior sister, this is the new disciple that master accepted a few days ago."
Mu Ting took the tea cup, greeted her siblings with a smile, and then looked at Mu Dingzhen, only to see him with a stern face and two hands playing with gold and jade.
Mu Ting's chest suffocated and she said hoarsely:
"Master."
"Um……"
Mu Dingzhen lowered his eyes, nodded lightly, and then said:
"Jing Ling, Xiao Pang, Xiao Zhuang, you go down and rest first."
The three siblings obeyed and left. When they were about to go out, Jing Ling looked at Mu Haotian who was still trying to say something. Maybe she felt that the time was not right, so she shook her head, closed the door and left.
Mu Ting took a step forward, slowly knelt down, and bowed to Mu Dingzhen to the end.
Mu Dingzhen seemed not to have expected her to be like this. His eyes narrowed and he said warmly:
"Just come back, just come back..."
But before he finished speaking, Mu Ting had already stood up on her own and stood tall, paying no attention to her master.
Mu Ding hesitated in embarrassment as he spoke the truth, his face darkening.
When Mu Haotian and Shuang Shu saw this situation, they knew that the senior sister was worried about what happened back then, and the rift with the master was still unresolved. The three of them all moved their lips, trying to calm down the atmosphere.
But I heard Mu Ting say calmly:
"Master, I have something to discuss with you alone."
Mu Dingzhen frowned and said:
"Tian'er and the others are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Mu Ting walked forward, put the tea cup in her hand on the table, glanced at the pile of miscellaneous things on the table, and said lightly:
"The money and goods I send back every year is supposed to be enough for the entire mountain sect's expenses. Why don't you let them meditate and practice, and why do you still have to earn this hard money?"
As soon as he said this, Yu Yan behind him immediately tilted his head and said suspiciously:
"Master? Aren't you still complaining just now: Some of your senior brothers and sisters are prospering outside, but who knows..."
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Mu Dingzhen's face turned red and he coughed several times. He was afraid that she would continue talking, so he hurriedly said:
"Well, Tian'er Ying'er Yan'er, you three should go down first! Your senior sister came to our door so late. She must have something important to discuss with your teacher. You little kids, please don't cause any trouble!"
"Who is the child anymore! Me,"
When Yu Yan heard this, she became anxious and wanted to argue with her master. Suddenly, she was pulled by her sleeve. When she turned around, she saw her sister winking at her and then pouting at Senior Sister Mu Ting in front of her.
Yu Yan immediately woke up and said:
"Senior Sister Ting'er..."
Mu Ting turned around, smiled at the three of them and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to leave this time. I'll be with you tomorrow."
The tone was so gentle that it left no room for criticism.
As if by his sensitive nature as an orphan, Mu Haotian was keenly aware that his senior sister's words seemed light but heavy, and he immediately said:
"Sister Ting'er, let's go now. See you tomorrow morning."
He pulled Swift and Snow Eagle over, exited the door, and then said to the room:
"Senior sister, we have missed you all these years."
Mu Ting smiled and nodded, her eyes rippling like microwaves in Pinghu:
"me too."
After the door was closed again, the footsteps of the junior brothers and sisters gradually disappeared, and the smile on Mu Ting's face gradually disappeared. She turned back to the table and sat down facing her master.
At this time, Mu Dingzhen had packed up the gold, silver and jade articles on the table, looked at Mu Ting, and said softly:
"Ting'er, these years...are you okay?"
Mu Ting said:
"I'm not here to catch up with you."
Mu Dingzhen's eyes flickered and he said:
"I didn't expect that in just four years, you would have broken through to the Xiantian realm! You must have endured a lot of suffering out there alone."
Mu Ting sneered:
"Why, do you, a loser like you, know how to care about people?"
After hearing this, Mu Ding's real face twitched, blood rushed to his face, and even his beard and hair seemed to be flushed, but after all, he felt guilty and never had an attack.
He hit the wall repeatedly and became angry, saying coldly:
"Why did you deliberately send Tian'er and the others away? There is no one around now. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."
Mu Ting nodded slightly, turned over her hands and took out something that looked like an inkstone, and placed it flat on the table.
Mu Dingzhen glanced over and saw that this object was square on the outside and round on the inside. It was about the size of half a hand. It was made of jade, dark green in color, and exquisitely carved. At first glance, it looks a bit like the base of the jade toad from before.
Then focus your eyes and take a closer look at the middle:
The "circle" in the middle is plump like a cake, dark red in color, and surrounded by a lifelike sapphire dragon carved on the outside.
There are several whiskers carved between the "dragon" and the "circle", which look like the heat of the sun, or like a divine dragon moving its claws through the clouds.
It means the green dragon surrounds the red sun.
Mu Dingzhen took a deep breath, his pupils tightened, revealing some indescribable meaning, which was both surprise and surprise, but also mixed with excitement and joy.
This is the summoning order of the Cangzhou Long Family, the behemoth that dominates the southeast of Cangzhou!
