"Ah..." Pottery Sect Leader changed his demeanor from that of a master and stomped his foot, not answering taoshi, but instead showing an extremely frustrated expression.
With a fierce glare at taoshi, Pottery Sect Leader angrily scolded him, "I did that on purpose to make you angry, almost forgot about the main matter. Just wait, I'll properly educate you later." Then, turning his face to casually bow, he said, "Sorry Miss Yuan, my son is not fortunate enough to marry Miss Yuan. I hope Miss Yuan can forgive him. I believe in your good fortune, and I hope you can avoid this disaster later."
Pottery Sect Leader On the surface, he seemed polite when talking to me, but I could sense from his eyes and the implications in his words that he clearly thinks I'm not good enough for his son. It's obvious that he looks down on me. Just look at what he said - how can you say "you know what kind of person she is" without it being obvious that he's looking down on me?
This made me very angry all of a sudden. It's one thing to look down on people, but to be so disdainful - your son, the esteemed heir of Mount Maoshan, may be out of my league, but as the leader of a generation, you should at least have some class. When you talk about not knowing what kind of person I am, can you at least do it behind my back?
It's really infuriating. I want to just walk away, but then I think about the windfall I've inexplicably received in the past three days. I suppress my anger and say in a low voice, "No, no, no, I'm not worthy of Young Master Tao. I hope Pottery Sect Leader can find a way to save me."
"You still have time for this matter. Now, cut off a strand of your hair for me, and I'll rush to save Miss Mei's life!" Seemingly satisfied with my answer, Pottery Sect Leader's face showed a smile again. However, he asked for a strand of hair to save Mei Susu, which puzzled me.
So I hurriedly asked, "Pottery Sect Leader, why do you need to use my hair? Is it related to that gold bracelet?"
"Yes, this is called 'the one who tied the bell must untie it.' It started because of you, so it naturally has to end because of you." Pottery Sect Leader resumed his enigmatic appearance, showing no sign of the lack of composure he had when he first heard that his son wanted to marry me. If it weren't for the scene just now, I would never have believed that Pottery Sect Leader, this kind of master, would also reveal the despicable expression that ordinary people should have.
"Father, if you take Miss Yuan's hair, will it cause any harm to her? Anyway, Miss Yuan is my lifesaver, and I won't allow her to be in any danger at our Maoshan School." Before I could speak, taoshi stepped forward to block me, facing his father with determination, despite his gentle temperament.
"Nonsense, how could taking one strand of her hair pose any danger? Ahem... as for Miss Yuan, I assure you that taking this hair will not cause her any harm. I am only doing this to save an innocent life." Coughing, Pottery Sect Leader bypassed taoshi and smiled at me.
However, in his eyes, I saw a hint of unnaturalness. I suddenly understood in my heart. It seems that taoshi was right. This Pottery hand simply doesn't care about my life or death. And that Mei Susu indeed has a strong background, strong enough that even the head of the Maoshan School can disregard reputation to save her.
Thinking of this, my voice immediately turned cold and said, "Pottery Sect Leader, this won't do. It is said that the body is the gift of your parents. You can't just cut off a strand of it. Besides, as you said, you don't know what kind of person I am. Now I'll tell you, my character is very bad. I'm not happy now and I don't want to save anyone. Mei Susu's life or death has nothing to do with me."
At this moment, I thought to myself that it seemed unreliable to rely on him to save me. It would be better to go back early and find Shen Chen. Perhaps Shen Chen, considering our one-month contract, could save me. Even if he didn't have the ability to save me, with his capability and status, he would definitely be able to find a master to save me.
"Miss Yuan, you are absolutely right. Miss Mei's life and death have nothing to do with you. Father, you should think of another way to save Miss Mei." Taoshi turned in another direction, once again blocking Pottery Sect Leader's gaze from me.
"Rebel, you don't understand anything. Let me tell you, if anything happens to Miss Mei at our Maoshan School, we will be doomed. Come, take the young master to the back hall to rest. Make sure he doesn't come out and let him recuperate." The Pottery Sect Leader angrily ordered his disciples to take Taoshi away.
As soon as the Pottery Sect Leader finished speaking, two disciples from the Maoshan School came forward, one on each side, and carried Taoshi towards the back hall.
"Father, you can't repay kindness with enmity like this. It will make us unable to hold our heads up in the martial world. Do you want to bring shame to the reputation of the Maoshan School?" Taoshi, unwilling, tried to break free from the two people holding him, but he had just regained divine consciousness and his physical qualities were far from those of a normal person, so he couldn't break free and could only reason with the Pottery Sect Leader.
"Shut this unfilial son up. From now on, don't let him see anyone, not even his mother." The Pottery Sect Leader was really angry. He had already mentioned the seriousness of the situation, but he didn't expect Taoshi to still be so ungrateful and try to reason with him, so he became furious.
After taoshi was taken to the back hall, Pottery Sect Leader walked up to me and dropped the act of being a good person. He spoke coldly, "Miss Yuan, whether you cut or not is no longer up to you. Since you caused this trouble, you have to bear the consequences. Besides, even without this incident, you wouldn't live past tomorrow. It's better to do a good deed before you die and save the lives of our Maoshan School."
"Sorry, Pottery Sect Leader, I'm not a saint. There's no need for any sacrificial spirit. I'm going to leave the mountain and ask another master to save my own life. Please don't stop me," I replied coldly to Pottery Sect Leader and turned to leave.
"Are you really going to ignore Sier's life and death? After all, the young man saved your life. Can you bear to let him lose his life because of your mistake?" Unexpectedly, Pottery Sect Leader didn't force me to stay when I insisted on leaving. Instead, he immediately brought up Sier.
"What does this have to do with Sier?" I asked in confusion. I didn't believe his claim that it would lead to the destruction of Maoshan School. This is a society governed by law, and it's not possible to casually exterminate an entire sect, especially one with such a high reputation. Who would be scared by such a threat?
Seeing my incredulous expression, Pottery Sect Leader began to explain slowly: "I believe you've heard that the Mei family has a significant background. To be honest with you, the Mei family has strong ties to the military. It's just a matter of a word to wipe out a sect. Now, Miss Mei's soul has been forcibly driven out of her body and taken over by an unknown grudgeful ghost. If we can't retrieve Miss Mei's soul soon, she might truly be gone. From the Mei family's perspective, Miss Mei is their precious descendant. If something happens to her at our Mount Maoshan, can the Mei family not blame the Maoshan School? Will they spare us? If something happens at Maoshan School, will my son be safe?"
Hmm! It seems that's really the case. Sigh, Sier is someone I acknowledge, which means he's my weak spot. Anyone I acknowledge is my weak spot. I can sacrifice myself for them. The thought of Sier possibly losing his life made me immediately give up resistance and nod: "Alright, for Sier's sake, I'll do it. But this won't set a precedent."
Actually, I'm a little puzzled. Why didn't Pottery Sect Leader use force? Based on my being alone at Mount Maoshan, he could have easily used force. After all, there would be no one to stand up for me. Is it necessary to willingly give this strand of hair? I've heard that this line of work involves a lot of talking, and it seems to be true.
Upon seeing me agree, Pottery Sect Leader immediately showed joy on his face. I don't know where he took out a pair of golden scissors and quickly cut a strand of my hair. Then he took out a jade box and carefully placed my hair inside. Finally, he held it as if it were a treasure, and carefully put it away in his bosom.
After he finished bandaging me up, I spoke again, "Pottery Sect Leader, can I leave now? Don't delay my chance to find a way to survive. I'm afraid that if I don't leave the mountain soon, I'll be in big trouble." I was very dissatisfied that this old guy didn't prepare me mentally for the haircut, and my tone was full of gunpowder.
"Not yet. Miss Yuan, you still have to accompany me to perform the spell on site. However, I can guarantee that you will be safe for three days," said the Pottery Sect Leader, seeing that I was about to leave again, shaking his head and unexpectedly offering to protect my life for three days.
"This, well, but how can I trust you to really keep me alive for three days, instead of deceiving me into my death?" I thought about it and nodded in agreement at first, because I was afraid that I might have less than a day left to live. If Pottery Sect Leader could really keep me alive for three days, this deal would be quite worthwhile.
"This is our Maoshan School's treasured town-sealing artifact, the Overturning Seal. I'll give it to you first. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, the Overturning Seal will protect you, and I will quickly sense your danger and come to save you." Pottery Sect Leader carefully took out a jade box from his pocket again, and from inside, he took out a seal resembling a jade seal. This thing was very small, tied with a red string, just enough to hang around my neck.
"Pottery Sect Leader Your sincerity is acceptable. Alright, let's go." I carefully took the sky-turning seal and wore it around my neck, pretending to remain calm.
"Swoosh..." Igniting another talisman, the scenery before my eyes instantly changed. It seemed like I had entered a hospital ward, but looking out the window, the view was still the same as the buildings in Mount Maoshan. This Maoshan School is indeed wealthy; the sect even has its own hospital. The decoration of this ward is high-end and classy, resembling a five-star presidential suite.
"Bok choy Ah, the field is turning yellow, it's been two or three years, my poor mother, son, I don't even know if your father has found you a stepmother. Oh, my poor child son, with your mother gone, you will surely suffer at the hands of a stepmother... Ah... Bok choy Ah, the field is turning yellow..."
A sudden voice of despair came from the bedroom, and I caught a glimpse through the door. In front of the dressing table in the bedroom, there was a woman. When she heard a noise from outside, she suddenly turned her head, revealing her entire face.
Seeing the appearance of this woman, I suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Big cousin!?"
