The children of "Fairy Tales" quickly learned about the upcoming outdoor activity (even though the valley environnt they were in was quite "outdoor" enough), so before long, the "parents" showed up with a group of little ones in front of Yu Sheng—these little kids, wearing small yellow hats and carrying small water bottles, ran up to the Cloud Viewing Platform of Qianfeng Ling Mountain, looking like they were on a field trip, and were utterly stunned by the immortal mountains and the sea of clouds before them.
The entire Cloud Viewing Platform was filled with the chatter and cheers of the children.
Zheng Zhi, who was outside watching videos, was also surprised by the scene in front of him, especially seeing Bai Xue, Cinderella, and others bringing out a large pile of snacks and spreading them on the ground, obviously intending to have a group picnic with the kids. He confird several tis with Yu Sheng to make sure all procedures were in order before he felt relieved and genuinely sighed, "No wonder the bureau told this job mainly relies on having a broad mind..."
As they talked, the long-haired princess brought Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella along to set up tents—they planned to spend the night here on the Cloud Viewing Platform.
Yu Sheng looked around at the environnt with its immortal peaks and auspicious clouds, then glanced at the No. 66 Wutong Road not far away, not knowing whether to call this survival in the wild or camping at the doorstep—for sure, Qianfeng Ling Mountain deserves to be the number one sect of Taixu Star, their sect’s environnt construction really is top-notch...
Then he saw a ray of rosy light rising on the horizon, which quickly arrived, and True Man Yuanling led a few young disciples to the Cloud Viewing Platform.
As soon as the old man landed, he saw the spectacular scene of more than seventy children, big and small, picnicking and camping on the summit of the immortal mountain.
The children instantly beca lively—the sight of an immortal-like grandpa leading so flying brothers and sisters descending from the sky did not scare this group of kids who had been dealing with the Exotic Realm of "Fairy Tales" from a young age, but instead made them very excited. Knowing that the newcors were not bad people, a few brave children even gathered around. True Man Yuanling, surrounded by the little ones, bead with delight, his wrinkles nearly smoothing out: "Good, good, everyone has fun... Good kids haha, good kids..."
Yu Sheng sowhat unexpectedly stepped forward to greet him: "You actually ca personally?"
"Just ca to take a look," True Man Yuanling said joyfully, his face gleaming, "I have always liked children, and every year when the sect opens for new enlightening admissions, I personally go—seeing these children so innocent and lively is always better than looking at those stubborn logs who can’t figure out a pill in two months."
Yu Sheng found this amusing: "Even stubborn logs grow out of innocence and liveliness."
"So it’s better to see them while they’re cute and interesting," True Man Yuanling stroked his beard, "because when they grow up, they only beco a headache."
Yu Sheng involuntarily glanced at the long-haired princess who was trying to talk the King into sending the lumberjack to chop wood in the forest for a bonfire.
So people, indeed, are quite a headache even before they grow up...
But fortunately, among the parents of "Fairy Tales," the majority are still honest and steady—at least Little Red Riding Hood is always reliable.
After swiftly quelling the long-haired princess’s bold idea of starting a fire on the Cloud Viewing Platform, Little Red Riding Hood, along with a few other parents, went to contact and register with those Spirit Mountain disciples.
anwhile, Yu Sheng stood with True Man Yuanling, watching the lively scene before them.
Then he heard True Man Yuanling nonchalantly ntion, "Tomorrow, True Man Qianji of the Lying Cloud Ten Halls will personally co over—the Lying Cloud Ten Halls doesn’t have a Sect Leader, so True Man Qianji currently serves as the Great Elder leading the ten halls."
"...The Great Elder is coming directly? And so soon?" Yu Sheng was taken aback, "Have they found so remarkable clue on those ’Siege Giant Divine Soldiers’?"
"I didn’t see anything, but the people over at the Lying Cloud Ten Halls evidently saw sothing," replied True Man Yuanling calmly, "I simply ordered soone to dismantle the armor behind the Siege Giant Divine Soldier and copied the chanical structure underneath into diagrams sent to True Man Qianji. Then he hurriedly decided to co over."
Erin, perched on Yu Sheng’s shoulder listening, suddenly chid in, "Have they confird whether that giant divine soldier was made by them?"
True Man Yuanling slowly shook his head.
"True Man Qianji didn’t say much, only that the Lying Cloud Ten Halls indeed had no record of this type of chanical Man, but the chanical core used by that giant divine soldier seed sowhat peculiar. For specifics, we’ll need to have a detailed talk when we et tomorrow—I actually ca over today because of this matter. When True Man Qianji arrives tomorrow, would you guys be willing to show up?"
Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"After all, you were the ones who initially discovered those Siege Giant Divine Soldiers, and you are familiar with the situation," explained True Man Yuanling.
"That’s true," Yu Sheng nodded, "Alright, I’ll go over tomorrow."
"That would be great," True Man Yuanling nodded with a smile, then seed a bit hesitant, pausing montarily before speaking again, "There’s also another matter."
Yu Sheng: "Go ahead."
"Xuan Che ntioned sothing to ," True Man Yuanling’s expression beca subtle, "that... the dical Disturbance Explosion Fist, he said he learned it from Miss Erin, is that true?"
Yu Sheng: "..."
There was a mont of silence at the scene. Yu Sheng turned his head and poked the little puppet on his shoulder: "I’m asking you."
Erin’s eyes imdiately lost their shine, and she flopped onto Yu Sheng’s shoulder pretending to be dead.
She had just pretended to be dead for less than three seconds when she saw True Man Yuanling stroking his beard with a look of appreciation, saying, "This na is quite spiritual..."
As soon as these six words ca out of the old man’s mouth, Erin suddenly revived, proudly almost putting her head back: "Of course!"
Yu Sheng listened on the side, dumbfounded. He looked at the old man with an immortal deanor in front of him, hesitating to believe the words had just been said by him. It took him five or six seconds to realize what cultural differences were, the diversity of civilizations, and how each planet has its own aesthetic...
Then he realized another thing:
Erin had caused a great misdeed, in a place as prosperous in immortal dao as the Taixu Spirit Hub, there would now be a group of dical Immortals skilled in the dical Disturbance Explosion Fist roaming the world...
This immortal land would inevitably end up with the fate of being a "land of outstanding talents and promising futures."
But obviously, he was the only one at the scene who cared about this, as Erin and True Man Yuanling had already quickly reached a consensus, now the two of them were already discussing what to call the final move of the dical Path Killing Fist - should it be "Patient Family Calming Palm" or "dical Common Sense Injection Palm"...
While Yu Sheng and True Man Yuanling were chatting, Zheng Zhi was also chatting with a group of "parents" from "Fairy Tales" on the Cloud Viewing Platform.
Little Red Riding Hood looked Zheng Zhi up and down: "So, you’re the gatekeeper at the front gate now?"
"...You could say that," Zheng Zhi nodded, he knew why the other emphasized the "front gate," because there was a "back gate" in the backyard of No. 66 Wutong Road that led directly to the Boundary Land, "Also there’s Brother Li - Li Lin, I partner with him."
"I didn’t expect it; when I first t you, you were our client," Little Red Riding Hood sighed, "But it’s not surprising, many clients I’ve known have ended up continuing to interact with the Exotic Realm, so beca Independent Investigators, and so partnered with others to beco Spirit Realm detectives... But you’re the only one who directly joined the Special Service Bureau. Seems like your condition is quite serious?"
"Not too bad," Zheng Zhi replied sowhat embarrassedly, rubbing his nose, his eyes glancing at the vast cloud sea outside the Cloud Viewing Platform, "Mainly, I’ve seen a lot of chaotic things in Boundary City, so it’s a bit better here - although it could be because this place is full of strange things, like talking animals, yelling Spirit Grass, and weird birds flitting around in the clouds, knowing beforehand this is an Alien Planet, instead it doesn’t seem strange anymore."
At that mont, the long-haired princess also swayed over and joined in the conversation: "Truth be told, your Spiritual Vision is quite high, but your ntal state is surprisingly stable - normally, people who see so many weird things from a young age without training would sowhat have ntal issues when grown up, at best starting from schizophrenia."
Zheng Zhi was imdiately startled: "That serious?"
"Of course," the long-haired princess nodded seriously, "Think hard, do you sotis inexplicably forget things, feel like whole days have ’skipped,’ or blank out doing things, ending up doing things you can’t rember, or lose consciousness after seeing sothing strange, then wake up the next day at ho with a bloody vegetable...?"
Before she finished, Little Red Riding Hood smacked her on the back of the head: "Shut up! Go watch the kids!"
"Tch—" The long-haired princess pouted and strolled away.
Zheng Zhi hadn’t yet reacted, puzzled, and glanced at Little Red Riding Hood: "...What do you an by a bloody vegetable?"
Little Red Riding Hood: "...She ant a bloody kitchen knife."
"Oh, oh." Zheng Zhi scratched his head, then involuntarily glanced at the distant cloud sea again.
The number of weird birds flitting in the cloud sea was increasing; was it because it was getting dark in this place? Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the swarm of dark birds appeared in flocks.
"What are you always looking at over there?" Little Red Riding Hood noticed Zheng Zhi’s gaze, feeling a bit strange.
"Bird-watching, those shadow-like weird birds, swimming around in the cloud sea like fish," Zheng Zhi said offhandedly, "I’ve been watching them all day, during the day there’re only a few, but more show up in the evening."
Little Red Riding Hood: "Hm... Hm?!"
The red-clothed girl stared at Zheng Zhi for a mont, then suddenly realized and turned her head shouting in the direction of Yu Sheng:
"Yu Sheng! The brat saw sothing dirty again!"
Yu Sheng: "...What?!"
