Chapter 384 The Disciples of Yunkui Mountain Arrive
After refuting the Herrscher of Knowledge's words, Tachibana Fukufu noticed Kiana standing to the side and asked the Herrscher of Knowledge a question.
"Huh? Who is this?"
"I forgot to tell you, she's my friend. She recently came to Weifeidi. You can call her Morning Star."
"So you're Master Fu Shi's friend! Hello, my name is Ju Fufu, and I'm the eldest disciple of Yun Kui Mountain. Please give me your guidance."
"Please give me your advice."
"Speaking of which, are you planning to move back this time? Why are there so many people here this time?"
The Law Master pointed to the other Yunkui Mountain disciples who were cleaning inside the temple and asked curiously.
"Because Master said that he would be active in Weifei for a period of time, he ordered me to lead people to clean up Suibian Temple properly."
"I see. But after being idle for so long, a lot of the furniture inside must be unusable now, right? It'll need to be renovated again. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no, no need!" Ju Fufu hurriedly waved her hand in refusal. "The furniture and such have already been purchased. As for the renovation, we need to clean it up first before making any plans. We are still considering which construction company to hire."
“Yes, yes, yes, we absolutely have to think this over carefully.” The Lawyer of Knowledge said earnestly, “Local construction teams that are related to us are not only expensive but also not cost-effective. If possible, we should definitely choose companies from other places.”
"If you're considering which construction company to choose, I do have one I can recommend," Kiana said.
Which company?
Have you ever heard of Baizhi Heavy Industry?
"Oh, oh, oh! I've heard of them, I've heard of them." The Herald of Knowledge also realized, "That company has been doing quite well lately, and they've even put up ads here, it seems like they're intentionally trying to expand into this market."
“That’s right, Miss Ju Fufu. Think about it. Since the other party wants to expand into this market, they will definitely put their heart into their first order here, and the quality will be absolutely guaranteed.”
Kiana coaxed, "How about it? Want to consider it? If you think it's worth it, I can use my connections to get the phone number of their higher-ups."
Tachibana Fukufu's ears twitched; to be honest, she was quite interested in Kiana's suggestion. However, there was no rush; she could still check prices at a few more places.
"Miss Morning Star, I will consider your suggestion."
"I see. It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. I'll be staying at Fuyun Temple for a while. Once you've made up your mind, come find me there."
"Living at Fuyun Temple? So, Miss Qimingxing, you're living with Master Fushi and the others now?" Ju Fufu asked in surprise.
"That's true, but there's no need to be so surprised, is there?"
"Of course! You know, it's deep in the mountains and forests! Just going up and down would take a lot of time. Miss Morning Star, why don't you stay with us and enjoy the view? Although we haven't prepared any guest rooms yet, you can stay with me for now if you don't mind."
As he spoke, Tachibana Fukufu grabbed Kiana's hand, intending to take her to buy some toiletries so he could take her to stay at Suibian Guan.
"Even if it's true, you don't have to say it to my face, do you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's lips twitched. "Besides, it's true that Fuyun Temple is deep in the mountains, but it's not like there's no cable car. It doesn't take two hours to get there anymore..."
"Huh?" Ju Fufu exclaimed softly, "When did a cable car already exist that goes to Fuyun Temple?"
"It's been like this for years, okay!" The Herrscher of Knowledge flicked Ju Fufu's forehead with her index finger. "Although Yi Xuan made you hike from the foot of the mountain to Fuyun Temple to train you, surely you didn't notice the cable car along the way?"
Then, while pinching and pulling Ju Fufu's cheeks apart with both hands, she continued, "And you even tried to steal someone right in front of me! You've gotten quite bold since I last saw you!"
"Yes. Compared to..."
While Tachibana Fukufu was making a mumbled apology, the viewers in the Herrscher of Knowledge's live stream were already charmed by her cuteness.
[Seriously, is this kid really a Tiger Xiren? He seems more like a Cat Xiren to me.]
[Since they said so themselves, then it must be true. There's no need to lie about one's own race to tell the truth, is there?]
[Exactly, and the Hushi people are sparsely populated. The last census in New Elidu showed only about twenty Hushi people left. There's no need to lie about that, is there?]
[Furthermore, as is widely known, tigers are felines, in other words, large orange cats, so it's normal for a tiger-like creature to resemble a cat.]
Is this equation true?
Don't worry about the details.
[I can't take this anymore! Streamer, send me this Miss Ju Fufu's personal information in three seconds! I'll beg you on my knees if you don't want it!]
[Do not generate electricity here.]
[What do you know? Nothing ventured, nothing gained! I'm going to contribute to the Tiger's Den population!]
[Dude, we understand how you feel, but having sex with a minor is illegal. I advise you to be kind.]
The Lawbringer ignored the viewers who were generating electricity there and ended his live stream once he had reached his allotted time.
Just then, the disciples of Yunkui Mountain saw that Ju Fufu had not returned for a long time, so two more disciples came out of the temple.
"What happened to Senior Sister? Why hasn't she come back for so long?"
The speaker was a man with glasses and a prominent forehead, and behind him followed a panda-like creature, at least judging from the color scheme.
Upon seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge standing next to Tachibana Fukufuku, the two immediately understood and greeted the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"I was so focused on Senior Sister that I neglected Master Fushi. How rude of me."
The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't mind at all; she waved her hand magnanimously and then introduced the two of them to Kiana.
The man wearing glasses was named Ye Shiyuan, the second disciple of Yi Xuanshou and the senior disciple of Yun Kuishan in this generation.
Standing next to him is Pan Yinhu, Ye Shiyuan's junior brother, and also a genuine panda Xiren.
Then the Herald introduced the Kia to the two of them, still using the name Morning Star.
After exchanging greetings, Pan Yinhu warmly invited the Herrscher of Knowledge and Kiana to lunch. Kiana was about to refuse when the Herrscher of Knowledge agreed first.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Won't it be too much trouble for others?" Kiana said.
"Oh dear! What trouble is there? It's just two more mouths to feed. It's not like I can't handle it. Even with the addition of the Cangxuan Book's little chef, it's no problem! By the way, let's just invite the Cangxuan Book's little chef too. Let's cook a big meal for lunch today!"
"Great!"
Upon hearing that there would be a big meal, Ju Fufu was the first to jump up with joy. She had been the main force in the cleaning work these past few days, after all, she couldn't bear to see her junior brothers and sisters suffer, so she took on most of the work.
Hearing Pan Yinhu say he was going to cook a big meal, he was secretly pleased, thinking that his efforts over the past few days had finally paid off and he was getting this feast.
Excited Ju Fufu started reciting the names of the dishes, while Pan Yinhu silently wrote them down with a pen.
He had seen all of Ju Fufu's hard work these past few days. Although he and his senior brother usually liked to tease their senior sister, seeing how busy she was these past few days, he had already decided to cook her a delicious meal to reward her. He wanted to take this opportunity to let her have a good time.
As for the meal expenses, naturally he and Ju Fufu would share the cost. What a joke! Yun Kui Mountain is short of funds right now, so they have to be careful with everything they do.
Pan Yinhu decided to let the Herrscher of Knowledge, Kiana, and the Book of Azure Sky pay for their meal, since they were guests and he felt bad letting them do so. He was used to saving money anyway, and had saved quite a bit recently, enough to treat them all.
Pan Yinhu would cook each of the dishes that his senior sister ordered, and then use Ju Fufu's own portion of her meal allowance to buy the ingredients. If that wasn't enough, he would advance her next month's allowance.
Anyway, there are still plenty of compressed biscuits in the temple. Next month, we can just let the senior sister eat those compressed biscuits. As long as she doesn't starve, what more could she ask for?
Ju Fufu was unaware of Pan Yinhu's little scheme, but Ye Shiyuan had already figured it out. So he subtly hinted to Ju Fufu to talk less, since they couldn't eat that much.
Ju Fufu didn't understand the meaning behind Ye Shiyuan's words. She just kept listing the names of the dishes and reassured Ye Shiyuan that she could handle it.
What else can Ye Shiyuan say about this?
All Ye Shiyuan could do was respect and offer his blessings. He'd just calculated that Ju Fufu had given him enough food for this month's meals, and he'd even need to advance money for next month's and the month after. Looks like he'd have to prepare more compressed biscuits; after all, he couldn't let his senior sister starve, could he?
Meanwhile, the Herrscher of Knowledge approached Kiana and whispered in her ear to tell her to be more careful. She knew a little about Yun Kui Shan's finances, and based on her understanding of Pan Yin Hu, it was highly likely that he had paid for the three guests himself.
If Kiana were to unleash her full power, the Herrscher of Knowledge would truly fear bankrupting Yunkui Mountain.
Kiana, of course, understood the Herrscher of Knowledge's unspoken meaning. In reality, since her ascension, eating had long since become a ritual to satisfy her appetite. Eating more or less was the same, so Kiana simply listed a few dishes and then ended the conversation.
Afterwards, she chatted with the Herrscher of Knowledge and the three disciples of Yun Kui Mountain for a while, and then got up to find Cang Xuan Zhi Shu, who was still having morning tea, to tell her that the three of them had gone to Suibian Guan for lunch.
"I understand. Since it's a request from a junior, I'll go there at noon."
After finishing his recitation of the Cangxuan Book, he downed the tea in his cup and then called for a waiter to refill it. This was his fourth pot of tea that day. As for the supplies he had purchased, they had already been delivered to the Foyun Temple.
It was still early before noon, and since we were all free anyway, we might as well continue drinking tea and having some snacks at the Tea Immortal. Cangxuan Zhishu also invited Pan Yinhu, who was passing by.
However, the other party declined the invitation from the Book of Azure because they still needed to buy the necessary ingredients. Kiana saw that Pan Yinhu was out buying groceries alone and was worried that he couldn't carry so much by himself, so she went to help him.
So only the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Book of Azure Profound remained, staring at each other. Soon enough, the Herrscher of Knowledge plopped down opposite the Book of Azure Profound. One foot was casually placed on the bench, and the other hand was busy picking up a teacup to wash and warm it, preparing to while away the time with the Book of Azure Profound at the Tea Pavilion.
On the other side, Kiana was carrying a large bag of ingredients in each hand, walking back to Suibian Temple with Pan Yinhu. Pan Yinhu was also feeling embarrassed along the way.
"I'm really sorry to trouble Miss Morning Star."
"It's no trouble at all. I was just killing time anyway, so I came to help you out." Kiana shook her head and said, "But if I hadn't come to help, how did Master Pan plan to bring these ingredients back?"
"Let's skip Master Pan and such."
Pan Yinhu scratched his head sheepishly, the plastic bag he was carrying rustling.
"As for these ingredients that we can't handle, we'll ask our senior sister to come and lend a hand. Most of these are dishes she wants to eat, and our senior sister is happy to come and help."
A short while later, the two returned to Suibian Temple. When Ju Fufu saw them return, she rushed to the door and snatched the ingredients from Kiana's hands.
"Oh, how could I trouble you, my guest? Junior Brother Pan, you really shouldn't have bothered. You should have told your senior sister in the first place if you couldn't carry that much by yourself. It's not like I wouldn't help you."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just happened to meet Master Pan on the road. I had nothing to do anyway, so I thought I'd help him out. Please don't blame him, Master Ju."
"There's really no need for 'master' or anything like that!" Ju Fufu waved her hand and said, "You're a friend of Master Fushi, and Master Fushi is a friend of our master, so there's really no need to be so formal!"
“That’s right!” Pan Yinhu chimed in from the side.
Seeing that the two were so insistent, Kiana didn't say anything more.
Kiana asked cautiously, "Can I call you Tachibana Fukufuku?"
"Of course!"
As she spoke, Tachibana Fukufu raised her chest and wagged her tail incessantly, as if she were happy that Kiana would call her by her name.
Seeing Tachibana Fukufu in front of her, Kiana couldn't resist placing her own on Tachibana Fukufu's head. Feeling the unfamiliar touch on her head, Tachibana Fukufu immediately realized what was happening and distanced herself from Kiana.
"I've already told you I'm not a kitten, could you please stop touching my head like that?"
Seeing that Tachibana Fukufu looked a little aggrieved, Kiana quickly apologized. Just then, a woman's voice came from behind them.
Everyone turned to look and saw a woman with long silver hair, dressed in the uniform of Yunkui Mountain. Kiana curiously sized up the woman, while the woman also curiously sized up Kiana with her amber eyes.
Upon seeing this person, Ju Fufu and Pan Yinhu immediately bowed and respectfully addressed him as "Master."
Her identity was self-evident, and she slowly began to introduce herself.
"I am Yi Xuan, the thirteenth generation sect leader of Yun Kui Mountain. May I ask who this young lady is?"
