Chapter 346 I Will Love Someone

Pan Yun sat blankly on the stone, facing the cliff. A gust of wind blew in from the cliff valley. Because there was an opening here, the wind rolled up along the rock wall, blew into the stone cave, hit her face, and brushed her scalp...

Her hair, which was only half an inch long, could not protect her round head at all, and her scalp was howling.

Pan Yun opened his mouth slightly, suddenly going from the bustle to the extreme silence, and for a moment he couldn't adapt.

She pondered, wondering why she felt so anxious and even a little sad.

In her previous life, she had seen a more prosperous and bustling world, but no matter how bustling the place was, as long as there was a mission, she could quickly return to the institute to devote herself to research.

The world is so lively, but it seems to have little to do with her.

Her greatest wish is to unlock the seal of the spiritual realm, understand the skills sealed inside, and perfect the modern underdeveloped skills to benefit the people.

It sounds great, but she is just a helper. She wishes this for herself but has never been anxious.

Teachers will never pass this kind of pressure on to their students.

In the words of the teachers, "This is something that our generation should accomplish. They are still children and will have more important things to do in the future. This is just a practice for them."

So, she has seen all kinds of excitement and has touched all kinds of tasks, so why is her mood different this time?
Is it because she is the one presiding over this temple fair, or is it because... the people in the Taoist temple are so nice?

Pan Yun stared ahead quietly, watching a bird fly up from the greenery of the cliff valley, stop on the path beside the rock wall, quickly bite off a tiny piece of biscuit, and then spread its wings and fly away. Pan Yun's eyes followed it as it flew over a towering stone peak, then its body flew slightly downwards and landed on a pine tree. After a few steps, it came to a nest and spat out the biscuit in its mouth to the three little birds in the nest...

The three little birds stretched their necks and chirped. As soon as they caught the broken pieces, they immediately rushed to eat them fiercely. When the big bird saw that they had finished eating, it chirped at them twice, then flapped its wings and flew away to find other food.

Pan Yun thought: These broken pieces of biscuits must have been brought down by the eldest senior brother when he was eating them accidentally. Even though he entered the Dao a long time ago and was able to fast, he still liked to eat them.

If Miao He knew that a piece of the pancake they brought up the mountain was missing for no apparent reason, she would suspect that Pan Xiao Hei had eaten it...

Pan Yun thought about a lot of things, his mind was not calm, but he was no longer anxious.

She reacted in a daze, "I think... I know how to love."

Pan Xiaohei, who was about to laugh at her for being abandoned, was stunned when he heard her mumbling.

Pan Xiaohei's cat face was full of complexities. "In your previous life, you were famous and professional. Although your methods in this life are a bit outrageous, you can still be considered kind-hearted. How come you can't love others?"

Pan Jun lowered his eyes and glanced at it, then took out a hat from the spiritual space and put it on himself. He put his hands into his sleeves and blew the cold wind with an expressionless face, "It can only be understood, not expressed in words."

Pan Xiaohei meowed, "Pretending to be profound."

It turned around and walked away, with its butt facing her, "I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here with you and eat the cold wind."

The distance between this cave and the top of the mountain is just within its range of activities, so it can go back to Sanqing Temple and lie down.

Pan Jun did not try to persuade him to stay, but just sat there in a daze.

Miaohe and the other two quickly came down with bags, including quilts, thick clothes, a stove, a brazier, and a pot.

Of course, there were also two bundles of firewood.

Miao Zhen: "Master Uncle said that except for not going up the mountain, not going down the mountain, and not meeting people, you can wander around freely in this area. If you don't have enough firewood, you can find some in the mountains yourself."

Pan Yun: "Do I have to find firewood myself? No, how can you say you can't see people? Aren't you human beings?"

Miaozhen: "We're only here this time, we won't come back later."

Pan Yun's eyes widened. "It's still a long time before the Chinese New Year, and you're only giving me supplies this time?"

Miaohe took out a bag of rice, opened the bag and said, "This is rice."

Pan Yun: "Where's the food?"

Tao Yanbai dragged a sack over and opened it to show her, "This is the vegetable."

There were cabbages in it, about ten or so, and one was enough for her to eat for three or four days.

Pan Yun: "...Where's the meat?"

The three of them shook their heads. Miao He picked up a basket and lifted the cloth to show her. "After our efforts, we only had this basket of eggs. The master said that you are here to be punished, not to enjoy yourself. You have to reflect on your mistakes, so..."

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "I see. Senior Brother wants me to learn fasting, right?"

"But I'm still so young, how can I practice fasting?"

Tao Yanbai: "Master Uncle said that Fourth Master Uncle learned how to practice fasting when he was nine years old and could go without food for seven days."

"How tragic," Pan Yun said, "No wonder Fourth Senior Sister left Longhu Mountain. Please tell Senior Brother what I said exactly."

The three of them looked at her sympathetically and agreed.

Miao Zhen glanced at the quilt placed on the stone and said worriedly, "Although the stone bed is away from the cave entrance, there will still be some wind, especially at night, the wind will be very strong. Will two quilts be enough?"

Pan Yun: "I still have a bed in my space."

She paused here and finally remembered what she could do. She had been too busy recently, so she only engraved space formations on Wang Cong's two jade pendants.

Perhaps it was because his jade was good, or perhaps it was because Pan Yun's cultivation had increased, his Yuan power was more abundant, and the spiritual energy he drew in was more stable and large, or perhaps it was a combination of both, the space opened up in the jade pendant was very large.

It is ten times larger than the space on the jade token, about eight hundred cubic meters, enough for Wang Cong to store many things.

And he has a pair of such jade pendant spaces.

She didn't move the rest. After all, if she was not calm, the spatial array points might break. When the array was unstable, the jade would be ruined. Pan Jun glanced at the space and sighed, "Okay, I'll do it in seclusion. It's just right for me to carve the spatial array on the remaining jade materials."

Tao Yanbai's eyes lit up, he squeezed to the front, and looked at Pan Yun eagerly.

Pan Yun said to him, "Don't worry, you'll be there for me."

Tao Yanbai felt relieved.

Miao He pulled him to the back, and together with Miao Zhen, they pushed aside a pile of things and walked forward, "Master Junior, what about us? The space for our jade token is too small."

Pan Yun said generously: "There are also yours!"

Miao and Miaozhen cheered softly and very actively and happily helped her put things in order.

When they saw the sky turn orange, they knew it was getting dark.

Wang Feiyin's voice came from above his head, "Tao Yanbai, Miaozhen, Miaohe, where have you been? Come back and cook--"

The three of them said goodbye to Pan Yun sympathetically and reluctantly. When they were out of the cave, the three of them cheered in a low voice.

Miaohe even hugged Miaozhen and began to look forward to their new space.

"Looking at it this way, it's a good idea for Master Uncle to let Junior Master Uncle go into seclusion."

Tao Yanbai nodded, "Recently, Junior Master has been concentrating on the Mountain God Temple. Apart from the morning classes, all other training has been cancelled. It's like I've seen another Senior Brother."

"It's hard to get used to the fact that the diligent junior uncle is as lazy in his training as the senior brother."

Miaozhenmiao and Miaohe nodded together.

The three of them swaggered back to the top of the mountain. Xuanmiao, who had just packed his bags, took a shower, and changed his clothes, looked at them silently.

When the three men saw this, they immediately restrained themselves, bowed respectfully, walked respectfully past Xuanmiao, and ran to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.

Xuanmiao remained silent.

Tao Ji also changed and washed, and ran over with a jar of something, "Junior sister, this is the moisturizer I made. It's dry in winter, I'll give it to you."

Xuan Miao took it and said, "Don't you think the kids have learned bad things from Junior Sister?"

Tao Ji turned his head to look at the three children. Some were washing rice, some were washing vegetables, and some were making fire. He wondered, "Did they? I don't think they have changed much."

Xuanmiao said expressionlessly, "Becoming arrogant."

Tao Ji scratched his head and said nothing.

Xuanmiao asked, "Where is Wang Cong? It's almost dark, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Tao Ji: "I'll go ask the senior brother."

There was no need to ask Wang Feiyin. He just asked when he passed by the kitchen, and the three children explained it one after another, "Junior Master made two large jade pendant spaces for Senior Brother."

"The eldest brother took the jade pendant and went out to do business."

Tao Ji: "It's almost the New Year, isn't it too late to go out and do business now?"

"How could that be?" Miao Zhen said, "Big Brother said that it is because the New Year is coming soon that business is better. Although it is a little late to enter the market now, the profit is not much, but every bit of profit is a bit. Besides, he mainly goes to other places to exchange silver and copper coins."

Tao Ji's eyes widened, "He speculates in silver?!"

The three of them nodded together.

Tao Ji frowned, "How rich is our Taoist temple to dare to speculate in silver?"

"Once the price of silver drops and stabilizes, won't he lose a lot of money?"

"Anyway, my eldest brother has space, and even if we do business, we can settle it with copper coins, so we won't lose much."

Tao Ji: ...the space is guaranteed.

Tao Ji rubbed his forehead and saw Tao Yanbai cutting meat. Then he asked, "Why are you in the mountains? Didn't you go home? And it's almost New Year's Day..."

Tao Yanbai instantly became nervous and almost cut his hand. He lowered his head and whispered, "I will spend the New Year in the mountains this year."

Miao He, who had run back to the kitchen to light the fire, couldn't hold it in any longer. He didn't care whether the fire in the stove was stable or not. He ran out with a fire stick and said, "Master, the Tao family is bullying our third brother!"

Tao Ji's face darkened, and he asked gloomily, "How did they bully him?"

Miaohe talked a lot, vividly describing what they saw and heard when they went to Taojia Village to pick up Tao Yanbai.

He said indignantly: "They actually let Third Brother live with a cow. The whole room smells like cow urine!"

Tao Ji's face turned pale.

Tao Yanbai lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Tao Ji took away his kitchen knife and said, "Stop cutting. If you cut your hand, who will be held responsible?"

He turned around in circles with the knife in his hand, his anger in his chest having nowhere to go, so he scolded Tao Yanbai, "Is this what I taught you since you were a child? I taught you to swallow your anger? You have your reasons, but is your father a man of steel who is fearless? Otherwise, why don't you reason with him?"
