However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, I nodded to indicate my agreement. Then I took a roundabout approach to ask about the issue of Dark Dragon: "Taoshi, is Dark Dragon fully recovered now? Are there any lingering side effects?"
"Talking about Xiaohua, its current condition is not very good. It inexplicably disappeared and lost some memories before, and this time it was injured in the underworld. I just fed it a drop of my Essence Blood, and it has only just started to recover a bit. However, I think it should be fine after some time." As soon as I mentioned Dark Dragon, Taoshi's face instantly clouded over again, and he couldn't help but sigh. It seems he is genuinely worried about Dark Dragon.
"I blame myself for the injury to Dark Dragon. Sigh. Regardless of why Dark Dragon ambushed me, this time it was my carelessness that led to its injury, falling into Black hegemon's trap. So, no matter what the reason, I need to take responsibility."
"Miss Yuan, don't blame yourself. It's all karma. Dark Dragon has committed too many sins and deserves this retribution," taoshi shook his head and sighed.
"Kill, the sin is too heavy? What does it mean, does Dark Dragon have killed many people?" I asked in surprise.
"Of course not, Miss Yuan should have heard about how Dark Dragon came into the world. Although I eventually subdued it, it still caused a lot of harm. Of course, it has to be repaid. Sigh!" Taoshi sighed deeply again, with a worried look on his face.
"Um, I've heard of it. If that's the case, then it's also just to survive, it can't be helped. We shouldn't blame Little Flower, right?" I defended Dark Dragon.
Because as I mentioned earlier, the reason Dark Dragon is Dark Dragon is because it has eaten all the other snakes born with it, but that's not its intention. If it doesn't eat other snakes, it will be eaten.
"Because I know it had no choice, I tamed it as my spiritual pet. I didn't kill it, but that doesn't erase the blood it shed. This is its fate, and we cannot intervene," explained taoshi with a look of helplessness.
"Ah, poor little flower!" I felt a twinge of pity for Dark Dragon's plight. But then I suddenly remembered what taoshi had said earlier and felt something was amiss. So I quickly asked, "By the way, taoshi, what's the story behind Little Flower losing a part of its memory?"
"Oh, the amnesia is like this. When you brought it back that time, I communicated with it consciously, but I couldn't ask where it had been or what it had done. It's like that part of its memory from when it was out just disappeared, as if it was forcibly deprived of it, and its sea of knowledge also lost a small piece." Taoshi's eyes showed a hint of sorrow again.
"If the sea of knowledge loses a piece, wouldn't that make it become stupid?" I asked in a somewhat frightened tone.
sea of knowledge What kind of place is that? It's a display of intelligence for either a person or an animal. If it's missing a piece, it becomes a heartless person. Who has such great ability to erase a piece of the sea of knowledge without harming lives? Just thinking about this gives me chills, making me feel as cold as if I were in an ice cellar.
"Yes, it won't show up immediately. It will slowly manifest. I'm really worried that one day Xiaohua won't recognize me." taoshi showed a hint of sadness on his face.
As I expected, there was indeed a missing piece. Could it be that sea of knowledge is causing someone to become foolish? Could it be that Dark Dragon had their mind controlled and ambushed me on the way, and then had their memory removed afterwards? Of course, these are just my speculations. But seeing taoshi so sorrowful, I comforted her with self-blame, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. I believe Little Flower will definitely get better."
"I hope so. By the way, Miss Yuan, Little Flower came back with you that day. What exactly happened that day? Little Flower had been missing for several days before that, and I couldn't find her no matter where I looked." It seemed like taoshi remembered something and asked urgently.
Seeing this, I didn't hide anything and briefly described the scene when I first met Dark Dragon. This immediately plunged taoshi into silence, then looked at me with apologetic eyes and said, "Miss Yuan, I'm really sorry. You saved me, but my spirit pet ended up harming you. I feel so guilty."
"It's okay, it's not your fault. I think someone must be manipulating all of this. I just don't know who it is. Sigh," I sighed.
"Ah, yes, I also want to know who is behind this, and this person even calculated against our Maoshan School. I don't know what his true purpose is. It seems that I should report to my father and ask him to send me to report to my grandfather, Grand Elder Supreme Elder, and let my grandfather investigate. Otherwise, not only the two of us are in danger, but the entire Maoshan School may also be in danger," said taoshi with a grim expression.
"Young Master Tao, the headmaster wants you to come over." Unexpectedly, at this moment, a disciple of Mount Maoshan came to the door and bowed to taoshi.
"Okay, I also have something to discuss with my father." After the disciple from Mount Maoshan nodded at the door, he said to me, "Miss Yuan, rest well in this room. If you hear any noise or see anything, do not go outside, otherwise it will be harmful to you."
“Why? Has the person who wants to harm me appeared in secret?” I asked with some fear. Suddenly, I didn't want the disciple to leave. With him here, I felt more secure, after all, he was skilled in spells and a true descendant of the Maoshan School.
"Maybe, but don't be afraid, Miss Yuan. My father has set up a barrier in this room, so ordinary ghosts and monsters can't get in. I'll be right back after I go," Taoshi reassured me as he lifted his foot to leave.
Taoshi's words made me even more uncertain. If his father is reliable, then pigs can fly. But I couldn't say that directly, so I stopped him and tentatively said, "Wait, Taoshi, why don't I go with you? The way you put it, I feel really scared here."
After thinking for a moment, taoshi nodded and said, "Alright, Miss Yuan, you go ahead and get dressed. We'll leave together in a moment so that we don't keep father waiting." With that, he gentlemanly walked to the door and waited outside.
It seems that taoshi is still a gentleman. My impression of him has improved by another five points. I slowly got up, took a moment to adjust, and drank the medicine taoshi had brought over. I felt more energetic after that, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to suggest walking with him just now.
When I had adapted to the darkness, I dared to walk quickly to the wardrobe and see if there were any clothes I could wear. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened it, a yellow shadow suddenly popped out and stopped about a meter away from me.
This startled me, and when I looked closely, I realized it was a mini version of Wong Tai Sin wearing a small hat and clothes. It had its two claws clasped together and gave me a little bow, as if it were making a gesture of respect.
"Ah—help—"
I was so scared that I immediately let out a scream for help. When Wong Tai Sin bowed to me, it was no joke. As the saying goes, when the yellow weasel greets the chicken, it's not to offer good wishes; it means the weasel wants to eat the chicken. Now, this Wong Tai Sin kept bowing to me, how could I not be afraid? Although I'm quite big, Wong Tai Sin probably can't eat me, but I'm afraid it might cast a spell on me, make me do something embarrassing in public, like a striptease. Then how could I face society in the future?
"Miss Yuan, what's wrong? What happened?" Taoshi heard my scream and immediately rushed in, putting aside everything else to ask with concern.
"Huang, Wong Tai Sin just greeted me, am I done for?" Seeing Taoshi, I didn't care about the difference between men and women, and immediately threw myself into his arms, crying and asking as if I had met a relative.
"Wong Tai Sin, where are you? Let me see." Taoshi was taken aback, then he started searching every corner of the room with his eyes while supporting me. I also looked towards the place where Wong Tai Sin had just appeared.
"Huh! It's gone. How could it be gone? It was just here!" I muttered in confusion.
Upon hearing my muttering, taoshi immediately became worried and started searching through every corner again. I followed him, but still found nothing. This made me furrow my brow in frustration. Could it be that I had just woken up and was experiencing a hallucination due to my unclear mind? I nervously asked taoshi.
"No, I saw the footprints on the ground. That thing did come over just now. How about this, I won't go out. I'll turn around in this room and wait for you to change clothes," taoshi proposed a compromise for my safety.
For the sake of my life, I nodded busily, thinking to myself that I would be marrying him tonight anyway, so I didn't mind being seen by him. Besides, I don't have any good feelings towards taoshi.
With taoshi sitting in the formation, I felt more at ease. Looking into the wardrobe, I only saw a pink dress, a very ladylike one. After putting it on, I immediately transformed into a lady. This made me feel a little better. After all, which woman doesn't love beauty or being a lady? I'm no exception.
Watching taoshi, during the process of changing my clothes, taoshi indeed behaved like a gentleman. He kept standing with his back to me until I finished putting on the dress. Only when I said, "I'm ready," did he turn around. As he turned around, I saw the amazement in his eyes. It seems that I really suit this dress. However, taoshi didn't have time to compliment me. Instead, he looked at the sky outside with a hint of urgency and said, "Miss Yuan, let's go." Seeing that taoshi didn't praise my clothes but urged me instead, I realized that the situation was really critical. Without hesitation, I nodded and followed taoshi out the door.
It seems like it's already afternoon outside, the sun is still scorching hot, almost burning the skin. I dare not use my hand to block the sun, and at the same time, I quicken my pace to keep up with taoshi's steps.
Because taoshi seems to have sensed something at this moment, his face is full of deep worry, and he is walking really fast, as if the sky will fall if he doesn't walk this fast. This makes my heart even more terrified, afraid that something will jump out and devour me in the next second.
Even though we were in a hurry, taoshi would occasionally look back to see if I was keeping up. What I didn't expect was that after following taoshi for about twenty minutes, I realized that we had actually circled back to the guest room at Mount Maoshan where I had just come out from.
"Could it be that even in a sacred place like Mount Maoshan, one can encounter ghost pushing against a wall?" Suddenly, I couldn't help but complain silently in my heart.
