Chapter 160 (2/2)

Old man Feng was very clear that if he were to continue fighting, humiliation is imminent. Not only did they have the disadvantage of numbers, he also felt pressure from Little Fatty and co. Those nuisances became threats under ShuiJing’s commands and 2 spiritual artifacts. Not only were they able to kill 4 JinDan cultivators, they also posed a threat to YuanYing cultivators. That were just too much for them. If they killed another few more cultivators, it may be difficult for them to even escape later. Thus, the wisest thing to do would be to take the initiative to retreat to prevent more casualties. After all, JinDan cultivators were also rare talents which no sect was willing to lose.

“Hai!” As the devil cultivators heard that, they all let out roars of unwillingness. They also understood the situation and quickly retreated despite the reluctance in their hearts.

Since the devil cultivators took the initiative to retreat, the righteous cultivators who did not want to fight would naturally not pursue them. Then, everyone gathered together to calculate their losses. In the end, they realised that they only had a JinDan cultivator who died and 3 injured. But, the devil cultivators had 4 JinDan cultivators who died and the YuanYing old man Feng even lost his finger. This was obviously a great victory for them.

Without a doubt, ShuiJing contributed the most to this victory. If not for her divination and commands, this would have most likely ended in their loss.

Thus, after the cultivators understood what happened, they were all extremely impressed with ShuiJing. As for HongYing and Han Bing’er, they were also praised by everyone. But for Little Fatty, he did not meet with the crowd because he had to tend to his injuries.

After such a ferocious battle, no one spent much time chatting. Instead, everyone returned to their own sects for an after-action review.

The people from the Mystical Sky Yard still took their white boat back. But, it was not as majestic as when they came. Not only was it damaged all over, its flying abilities was restricted as well. Its speed was halved. As such, the trip which originally only took a single day took them two days to return.

When the tattered white boat returned, it immediately created a large commotion in the Mystical Sky Yard. The sect master and his wife personally came to check on HongYing, Little Fatty, and ShuiJing before they were able to relax. After some discussion with Daoist HuoLong, everyone scattered back to their own dwellings.

The sect master and his wife held Little Fatty, HongYing, and ShuiJing back, obviously having something to ask them.

After 2 days of recuperation, Little Fatty’s internal injuries had been completely healed with the aid of a bunch of elixirs. After they followed the sect master and his wife into their courtyard, they all bowed and paid their compliments.

The sect master then waved his hands and said with a laughter, “Don’t need to stand on ceremony. Let me ask all of you. Did you all get the Mystical Spiritual Fruit?”

The three of them then looked towards each other before replying in unison, “Your disciple has it!”

“Hahaha, good. You guys are indeed people of our Mystical Sky Yard!” The sect master roared with laughter, “How many did you all get?”

“Father, your daughter got two!” As HongYing said that, she took out two jade boxes and handed them over to the sect master like it was a treasure.

“Good, you are indeed my good daughter!” The sect master praised and asked, “ShuiJing, what about you?”

“Your disciple did not have good luck and only got one!” ShuiJing replied calmly.

“How is that possible?” As the sect master heard that, he immediately asked in doubt, “But you have the Plum Blossom Divination! Don’t tell me you can’t calculate its location?”

ShuiJing smiled and said, “Your disciple is too lazy to calculate. Anyway, whether or not I calculate it, I will still be able to eat 3 of them!”

“Eh?” Both the sect master and his wife were stunned. Then, the First Lady asked, “Don’t tell me your master has prepared them for you?”

“Nope, master entered close door cultivation for a hundred years. I can’t see her!” ShuiJing then looked towards Little Fatty and said with a smile, “I was referring to senior brother Song. I believe senior brother had a rewarding trip and will definitely help me to compensate for the remaining 2, right?”

What else could Little Fatty say? He could only laugh bitterly and say, “Right right, I will just give you 2 more!” As he said that, he took out 3 jade boxes. He pa.s.sed 2 of them to ShuiJing and 1 to HongYing and said, “This one is for the junior sister to make 3!”

Faced with Little Fatty’s generosity, the sect master and his wife could not be helped but be shocked. The sect master asked curiously, “Pudgy boy, how many exactly did you get? Why does it seem like you completely can’t be bothered?”

“Heh heh, I have a few more, enough for me to eat!” Little Fatty replied with a foolish laughter. Obviously, he was unwilling to say anything else.

Seeing the situation, it also wouldn’t be good for the sect master and his wife to ask. After all, he had already given their daughter one, and it wouldn’t be good for them to take any more from him. Thus, they could only look towards each other with a bitter laughter and let the matter go.

“Oh well, since you do not want to say it, we will not ask!” The First Lady then asked seriously, “But, I hope that you can tell me the truth about another matter.”

“What matter?” Little Fatty replied restlessly. Being full of secrets, he was indeed feeling guilty in his heart!
