Chapter 287 - Taken back to First Peak (2) (1/2)

Everyone looked up and saw the flurry of snow in the sky turn into a shower of rain, sprinkling over them. The scenery was beautiful, but the person was even more beautiful.

Peak Master Murong’s ability to control the water spirit truly made people gasp in amazement.

The woman stepped toward them in a drizzle of rain, her figure brilliant despite her plain-colored clothing. Her eyes sparkled like diamonds, and her lips were turned up in a mischievous smile.

Qiao Mu looked at her master, bewildered, before silently looking down and playing with her fingers.

As Murong Xun fluttered onto the ground, half of the roof over the main hall collapsed, its tiles clattering down.

Her unfortunate Second Aunt-Master had to find someone to fix her roof!

Suddenly, an elderly woman with a genial and kind face waving a cattail-leaf fan jumped in front of her and cheerfully asked, “Ah, this must be that grand-disciple of mine who even the old king of the Qiu Kingdom is scrambling over himself to give an apology gift to, right? I am your master’s master…”

What apology gift from the king of the Qiu Kingdom? Qiao Mu had no idea what the heck the Sect Master was saying.

Before the elderly woman could finish speaking, Murong Xun appeared next to her disciple in a flash and scooped up the little fellow. “Let’s go, disciple. The Second Peak isn’t fun, let’s return to our First Peak!”

The Sect Master glared at Murong Xun as she waved her fan. “Rotten disciple, this master isn’t done talking to her grand-disciple yet.”

“Sect Master, what greeting gift are you planning to give to your grand-disciple? Look at your grand-disciple, she’s a treasure who advanced to level six phenomenal success rank in one go. You’d be shameful to give a normal greeting gift, right?” Murong Xun glanced at the Sect Master from the corner of her eyes. “Give me Maple Pavilion’s key.”

The Sect Master was shocked. Only then did she realize that this child’s cultivation had reached level six phenomenal success rank already.

The Sect Master immediately wanted to spring toward Qiao Mu and grab her so that she could examine her, but… she was promptly blocked by the protective Murong Xun with one arm.

“What are you doing?”
