genius puppeteer

During the journey under the scorching sun, a slender figure immersed in walking finally stopped at a certain moment.

She looked up at the mysterious mountaintop not far away that was shrouded in clouds and mist, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're finally here, senior..."

Chi Yunzhi turned around and was about to tell the old man that he had reached the boundary of Yunling Mountain. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, there was no trace of a human being behind him. The man who had been following her unhurriedly since he got off the flying spirit beast The old man behind him disappeared without knowing when.

"Fan Yi, did you notice when senior left?"

Chi Yunzhi asked with a frown.

Fan Yi's answer came from the spiritual ring, "I don't know. Maybe it was because we were about to reach Yunling Mountain, and my grandfather left just now to avoid being noticed by the elders guarding the mountain of Yunling Academy and causing unnecessary trouble."

Fan Yi paused as he spoke, and then said: "Don't worry, with my grandfather's cultivation, when you come down from the mountain, he will naturally follow you by following the spiritual energy fluctuations you left along the way."

Chi Yunzhi nodded after hearing the words. What Fan Yi said was not unreasonable. With the old man's ability, she was not worried that he would encounter any danger, but a strong man from the worldly realm suddenly appeared in the world where Yunling Mountain is located. , it will indeed alarm Yunling Academy and cause some misunderstandings, which will be troublesome to explain.

Thinking of this, Chi Yunzhi stopped staying, raised his feet again, and walked towards Yunling Mountain alone.

And somewhere in a deep dense forest.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, and an equally old figure in front of him bowed his head respectfully.

When the old figure raised his head again, that ravine-like face was clearly that of the Great Elder of Qiansong Pavilion who held a pivotal position in Qiansong Pavilion.

At this time, the old man who had absolute say in Qiansong Pavilion actually showed humility and respect in front of the old man.

His cloudy eyes were filled with tears, he looked at the old man and said tremblingly:
"Pavilion Master, you are finally back..."

--
Yunling College, puppet-making sect.

As soon as Chi Yunzhi stepped onto the square inside the puppet gate, he bumped into Qin Shi who was walking out in a hurry.

"Senior Sister Qin?"

Seeing Qin Shi looking so absent-minded, Chi Yunzhi was stunned and called out to Qin Shi who almost passed him by without looking away.

When he heard Chi Yunzhi's voice, Qin Shi's hurried steps suddenly stopped.

"Junior sister Yunzhi..."

As if he had just realized that the person in front of him was Chi Yunzhi, Qin Shi, after being stunned for a few seconds, suddenly took Chi Yunzhi's hand and said hurriedly: "Junior sister Yunzhi, you are back, you... your family problem occurs!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Chi Yunzhi's face suddenly darkened, and the temperature around his body seemed to drop by dozens of degrees in an instant.

Feeling Chi Yunzhi's emotional changes, Qin Shi's eyes showed a trace of worry.

"I don't know how to explain it to you. Let's talk while walking." Qin Shi said, pulling Chi Yunzhi to the accommodation area inside the puppet making door. At the same time, he briefly explained these two things to Chi Yunzhi. What happened on the day.

"I also learned from a portal junior brother who came down the mountain to deliver a message. When he came back, he met a woman at the foot of Yunling Mountain. The woman claimed to be from your tribe, her name was Chi Pingan, and she said she was from the Chi family. Something happened, and I wanted to come to Yunling Academy to look for you, but I couldn't go up the mountain because I wasn't from the academy, so I stayed at the foot of the mountain for two days before I found an opportunity to beg the junior brother at the portal to bring the news."

"The junior brother from the portal came to me. I know that you have mentioned some situations in your family before. After the national academy competition, the grievances between your family and Qiansong Pavilion may be deeper, so I dare not delay and bring your people back from the mountain. After settling in, I was about to go to my grandfather to discuss the matter, but I didn’t expect you to come back just in time.”

"I didn't come to hear the details of your family's situation, so I can't tell you exactly what happened. I'll take you to see her. You'd better talk in person."

Qin Shi spoke very fast, and Chi Yunzhi, who was pulled by Qin Shi to walk quickly, had clenched his fists tightly before he knew it.

Logically speaking, Chi Pingan should still be practicing in the academy in Tayuan City at this time. Even if something happened at home, she would not be allowed to come out as a junior to ask for help, let alone the Chi family and the Hu family. There are strong people in the Fu Di Realm stationed there, but now it is indeed Chi Ping'an who came out of Tayuan City to ask for help, which can only mean that the current situation of the Chi family is very bad.

Chi Yunzhi's lips pursed tightly, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly at this moment.

When the two reached the dormitory building, Qin Shi stopped and reached out to push the door in front of her, when Chi Yunzhi suddenly held her hand.

"Sister Qin, can you do me a favor?"

Qin Shi was slightly startled and looked at Chi Yunzhi with some confusion, but still nodded and said, "You tell me."

"I also ask Senior Sister Qin to help me buy the puppets from the senior brothers and sisters in the sect. The more puppets the better."

Chi Yunzhi said, taking off a spiritual ring from his finger and handing it to Qin Shi. Inside the spiritual ring were almost all the remaining spiritual stones that Chi Yunzhi had in the past two years, as well as some well-preserved rare medicinal materials and unexplored materials. Many puppet-making materials are used.

Qin Shi took the spiritual ring from Chi Yunzhi in a daze, and quickly understood Chi Yunzhi's intention. The sadness in his eyes immediately became stronger, but looking at Chi Yunzhi, he had obviously made up his mind and could not explain it. With the look on his face, Qin Shi knew that she could not persuade Chi Yunzhi.

After more than two years of getting along, she has come to understand Chi Yunzhi's temperament. He seems easy to talk to, but in fact, as long as it is something she is determined to do, it is difficult for others to influence her decision.

Qin Shi sighed softly and tightened her hand on the spiritual ring. She looked at Chi Yunzhi and said solemnly: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Watching Qin Shi quickly leave, Chi Yunzhi took a deep breath and then opened the door.

Seeing Chi Ping'an again, she seemed to have changed a lot from how she looked in the impression.

The overbearing arrogance that used to be exaggerated has been restrained a lot, and the bright face is now a little pale and haggard. He is dressed in white, but the hem of the clothes is covered with dust stains, and the bun is a little messy. The whole person shows a dusty look. state.

The moment Chi Pingan saw Chi Yunzhi, his expression changed several times.

From the confusion and confusion at the beginning, to the tears later...

Chi Yunzhi had never seen Chi Pingan with such a fragile look. In Chi Yunzhi's memory, although Chi Pingan was well protected by the second elder since she was a child, she also had an arrogance in her body that was unwilling to lag behind others. No matter what, she will never allow others to look down upon herself, so even if she is sad, she will be tough-talking so that no one will notice.

But now, if she hadn't encountered a change that was beyond her knowledge and she couldn't bear it, how could she cry so unabashedly in front of others?
And this also made Chi Yunzhi, who was originally prepared, feel depressed again.

I'm afraid the Chi family's situation is far worse than she imagined...
