Seeing this, Shen Qing couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.
They seemed to have that feeling of anxiety as they neared home. Clearly, the appearance of the Nether Wolf met all the characteristics of the Nether White Wolf, but they just didn't dare to confirm it.
However, to avoid causing a stir, Shen Qing also gave some vague answers, only saying that she found the Nether Wolf on a glacier and didn't know its exact species.
The Nether Wolf let out two discontented howls but didn't say anything in the end.
He understood his current situation. If he was targeted by the demons, he would surely be in big trouble, so he didn't dare to reveal his identity.
On the contrary, the little wolf cub was not at all shy. When he saw so many people suddenly appear in front of him, he became even more excited, with his four short, furry paws flailing around randomly.
After not seeing each other for half a month, the blue film in the little wolf cub's eyes had completely faded, revealing eyes just like the Nether Wolf's.
When the two wolves were put together, others immediately thought they looked like a big and a small twin.
Most of the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect had gone down the mountain to look for Xian Shiyu for a long time, delaying many tasks and their cultivation. After they knew that their little junior sister was safe, they gradually returned.
After all, their sect was going to hold a selection. If one could get first place, they would receive a generous reward, and they had all signed up.
Chu Lanqiu, however, stayed by Xian Shiyu's side and didn't plan to leave.
Xian Shiyu asked curiously, "Senior Sister, didn't you also sign up for the disciple selection? Why aren't you going back to the sect to cultivate?"
Chu Lanqiu glared at Xian Shiyu crossly, "Now you're starting to tell me what to do. Are you afraid that I'll delay your fun here, huh?"
Xian Shiyu pouted, with a tinge of grievance in her tone, "Can't I be concerned about you, Senior Sister? The reward for the first place in this disciple selection is something you've always wanted."
A look of determination flashed in Chu Lanqiu's eyes, "Of course I know. So I won't lose this selection."
"But I also promised our master that I would bring you back in one piece. So I'll go back to the Beast Taming Sect whenever you do."
Hearing this, a look of shame appeared on Xian Shiyu's face.
She didn't expect that the letter she left behind would cause such a stir in the Beast Taming Sect.
She originally thought that the attention she received in the sect was just because she was young, but she didn't want to be given special care forever because of this.
Moreover, her abilities in the Beast Taming Sect were not the most outstanding. She left without hesitation, thinking that her departure wouldn't cause much of a stir.
But it was only now that she realized that everyone's love for her was genuine. In comparison, her little thoughts seemed a bit petty.
She had always complained that her senior brothers and sisters protected her too well during tasks and didn't give her a chance. Only now did she gradually realize how much of a worry she had been.
Xian Shiyu's mood immediately dropped, and the hand holding the little wolf cub slowly tightened until the little wolf cub in her arms wriggled uncomfortably and let out a howl.
"Oops, sorry. Did I hurt you?"
Chu Lanqiu sighed and immediately understood Xian Shiyu's little thoughts.
Her little junior sister was good in every way, but she was too sensitive and delicate, always feeling that she had received too much preferential treatment.
But in the eyes of their senior brothers and sisters, Xian Shiyu was just a child who hadn't grown up yet. Of course, they had to protect their little junior sister when she was out.
But she didn't expect that this would make Xian Shiyu feel that her abilities were poor and that she couldn't be recognized.
In the future, when they got back to the sect, they might need to get along with her in a different way.
Shen Qing knew how important this disciple selection was, so she spoke up to persuade Chu Lanqiu.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, if you have something important to do, you can go back to the sect first. I'll take care of Shiyu. You can rest assured."
Chu Lanqiu immediately leaned close to Shen Qing and whispered, "I call you sister. You can just call me elder sister."
"I'm not worried about you, Sister Shen Qing. It's just that I think Shiyu and this child are too lively. I can only feel at ease if I watch over them myself. As for the disciple selection, I've made full preparations. Don't worry, good sister."
Being stared at directly by such a charming beauty, Shen Qing couldn't help but blush.
Remembering that Chu Lanqiu had won the competition by her own strength last time, if she said so, she must have made thorough preparations. So Shen Qing didn't try to persuade her anymore.
Although she also wanted Xian Shiyu to go back with Chu Lanqiu first, the Demon Cave was too big. It would be too difficult for her to accurately find the place where Xian Shiyu found the little wolf.
Thinking that she had delayed the time of the two of them because of her own matter, Shen Qing felt a bit sorry for them.
So, the books in the wooden house in the small space came to Shen Qing's mind again...
There seemed to be some books about spiritual beasts in there. She would make a few more copies and give them to them later. She was sure they would be useful.
Just as Shen Qing made up her mind, Ling Zhou's voice came out slowly, "You're not going to empty out all the books in our house, are you?"
Shen Qing was startled. Immediately, she asked guiltily, "Master, why didn't you make a sound when you appeared? You scared me."
Ling Zhou was a bit speechless, "I'm in your spiritual sea. How can I make a sound? Should I play a chant of the Great Compassion Mantra in your spiritual sea?"
Shen Qing gave a couple of guilty laughs, "That's not it."
When Ling Zhou was silent, he had been rummaging through the books in the wooden house, looking for any records about the system, but he had returned empty-handed.
He knew that his disciple was a reborn person, but he didn't feel good about asking directly. He saw through the light screen that Shen Qing had lived a hard life in her previous life and had a very tragic ending. So his feelings for Shen Qing became a bit more compassionate.
Combined with Shen Qing's actions, he could probably guess what she wanted to do.
So the only thing he could do to help Shen Qing now was to try his best to recover his own memories and figure out what had happened during the time when he lost his memories.
Ling Zhou had a hunch that the memories he lost must be very important.
Thinking of this, he went back into the small space, got into the wooden house, and continued to rummage through the books.
The Demon Cave was formed because demonic cultivators gathered here to cultivate. After those demonic qi gathered, they would slowly erode this land and turn it into a Demon Cave.
The Demon Cave was filled with dark demonic qi. Once ordinary living beings got close to here, they would immediately be eroded by the demonic qi. If they were lucky enough to survive the erosion of the demonic qi, they would turn into demonic beasts.
Demonic beasts also carried demonic qi. This cycle repeated, and the Demon Cave would gradually grow larger.
That was why new Demon Caves kept appearing in the cultivation world. But so far, apart from being able to use spiritual springs to remove demonic qi, the people in the cultivation world hadn't come up with an effective solution yet.
Now that the spiritual springs had been maliciously destroyed, it would be very difficult to purify the demonic qi in a large-scale Demon Cave in the future.
Shen Qing thought that Lin Yibai's move was not only to provoke her but also to let the demonic qi slowly erode this land.
