Chapter 375: What Miss Soft Feather says is reasonable!
Translator: Stardu5t Editor: Kurisu
Song Shuhang felt that something was amiss… Senior White, why did you turn your head around to look at me? You promised Miss Chu Chu you'd allow her to go onto the platform, but why did you say 'sure' while facing me?
Chu Chu also sensed something was off—it was clearly she who beseeched him, so why did Venerable White turn around to face Song Shuhang?
But no matter what, even if she had to sacrifice her lifespan or pay an even greater price to fully erupt with her latent capacity, as long as she could fight on the platform and win the first category of the Grievance Settling Platform for the Chu Family, she would have no regrets.
Hence, Chuchu prostrated on the ground and expressed her grat.i.tude, ”Senior, thanks for your help.”
On a side, the Chu Family's leader wanted to say something but hesitated. Ultimately, he sighed... he felt that he was entirely unable to interrupt their conversation.
”Yeah, come with me. Let's look for a suitable place at the back. In a while, Chu Chu will be able to go on stage,” said Venerable White.
Thereafter, Venerable White stood up and walked towards the back of the Chu Family's camp. There was a temporary tent there, which was originally meant for treating the injuries of the disciples fighting on the Grievance Settling Platform. It was a place that could hide them from the public eye.
Chu Chu got up with much difficulty and took a deep breath, preparing to follow Venerable White. She had not fully recovered from her injuries. Earlier, she had already used all her strength just to sit up straight, how would walking be easier?
The nearby Song Shuhang immediately reached out with his hands to support Chu Chu, then followed behind Venerable White. She was a strong woman, and Song Shuhang understood her too well, even better than her own mother. Also… perhaps it was because he dreamt about Chu Chu's life experience the day before, but Song Shuhang felt a natural sense of intimacy with Chu Chu and her family.
”Thank you,” Chu Chu said softly. And just like that, Song Shuhang supported her, and the two of them caught up with Venerable White, entering the tent together.

After Venerable White left, the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One group immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Northern River's Loose Cultivator looked at the baboon in a black robe next to him and asked out of curiosity, ”Speaking of which, Thrice Reckless, why are you still in the form of a baboon? Why didn't you undo True Monarch Yellow Mountain's illusory art?”
”Who is Thrice Reckless?” The baboon version Thrice Reckless Mad Saber laughed coldly, running his fingers through his hair. ”I am Su Clan's Seven!”
...What kind of joke was that? Previously, he had fallen from the sky stark naked. Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't want to a.s.sume his real appearance again...
”Pfff~” Fairy Dongfang Six could not help but laugh out loud.
At this time, True Monarch Yellow Mountain said calmly, ”Everyone, please do not make a ruckus. We have to think of a way to placate Senior White… I have a feeling that Senior White definitely wouldn't call us here from afar just for us to enjoy the flight on the disposable flying sword. For all we know, there might be something scary brewing behind the scenes.”
After True Monarch finished speaking, the fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group all swallowed their saliva one by one.
”Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best, don't you think?” asked Cave Lord Snow Wolf cautiously.
”The monk may escape, but the temple can't escape with him. Even if you can escape today, you might not be able to escape tomorrow,” said True Monarch Yellow Mountain calmly.
”So, what should we do?” Fairy Dongfang asked.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain replied, ”I don't know either. Hence, we need to discuss it together.”
The fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group fell silent.
At this time, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber approached Soft Feather, his monkey face full of sadness. ”Speaking of which, Miss Soft Feather, you have gotten us into trouble this time.”
Soft Feather blinked her eyes and asked out of curiosity, ”What relation does it have with me?”
”Because you uploaded the 'Senior White's expressions package' within the group!” answered Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
The surrounding seniors silently nodded—the 'expressions package' was the main source of the tragedy!
”That expressions package... isn't it nice?” Soft Feather asked cautiously.
”It is nice… but, because of that expressions package, everyone was brought here by Senior White's disposable flying swords!” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said sullenly.
After hearing that, Soft Feather replied with another question in a curious tone, ”Isn't it because you seniors courted death? Apart from flooding the group chat with Senior White's emotes, you even used them as profile pictures.”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber replied, ”Ah, what I mean is, it was all because of the existence of the expressions package!”
”That's why I'm saying that you can't put all the blame on me.” Soft Feather said earnestly. ”I merely shared Senior White's expressions package in the group… if you seniors only quietly downloaded the expressions package for your own enjoyment, there would be no problems. But you guys courted death by constantly flooding the group with them, and even changed your profile pictures. So, isn't it only logical that you would prepare yourselves to face Senior White's punishment? Senior Thrice Reckless, don't tell me you don't even have a bit of self-awareness?”
”Ah?” Thrice Reckless sensed something was amiss. Soft Feather's words were quite reasonable and serious. ”Don't tell me that you're self-aware of your actions?”
”Of course,” Soft Feather said matter-of-factly. ”We are not children anymore. Of course we need to be responsible for every action we make. When I sent the expressions package to the group, I was aware of everything… I heard my father once say that Senior White has a hobby of using disposable flying swords to send people straight into s.p.a.ce. Hence, I've long prepared myself to be sent into s.p.a.ce by Senior White… I even prepared a s.p.a.cesuit, as well as fasting pills. I have done all sorts of preparations, and I've kept them in my size-reducing purse since a long time ago!”
As she finished speaking, Soft Feather's eyes glowed brightly, her face full of antic.i.p.ation and longing. She really wanted to be sent straight into s.p.a.ce by Senior White on a disposable flying sword.
Thrice Reckless turned his head around and looked at his fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Afterward, he looked up to the starry sky at a 45-degree angle… complex emotions were welling up in his heart.
