C16 (1/2)

Towers of different heights were arranged in a series of circles, occupying a part of the mountain forest. Looking at the flowing stream, thousands of mountains were dyed in it. On the bluestone path, there were often mountain disciples walking past.

This was one of the Mountain Sea Pavilion s.

At this moment, on a limestone path within the Mountain Sea Pavilion, two figures, one tall and the other short, were leisurely chatting. The tall one was naturally Maki Chen, and the short one was Maki Chen's cheap senior sister, Xi Mengyao.

Honestly speaking, Maki Chen was more or less resisting in his heart, but this little girl continued to grit his teeth and refused to let go, insisting on Maki Chen calling her Senior Sister.

Under such pressure, he could only acquiesce to this form of address and reluctantly called out ”Senior Sister.”

Actually, calling Xi Mengyao senior sister was not at a disadvantage in terms of her current situation.

Firstly, Xi Mengyao's identity definitely surpassed Maki Chen's. Secondly, Xi Mengyao's age may be twelve or thirteen, but in reality, she was older than Maki Chen by a few months.

Cultivating spirit energy had a certain effect on retaining one's looks, and the girls paid special attention to this area. As such, it made sense why Xi Mengyao's appearance was so young and tender.

Why don't I join Mountain Sea Pavilion and use my resources to refine some pills that can keep my appearance a secret? If I continue to make new ones, wouldn't I be able to earn a lot of money …

From what Maki Chen knew, Heavenly Enlightenment Empire did not have any pills that were particularly effective in maintaining one's looks, not to mention that the pill refiners would not place any particular emphasis on this path.

However, Maki Chen was different. In his previous life, during his cultivation, he had visited countless of places, and among them, there was even a country that retained their looks as a style.

Back then, he had casually recorded down some pill medicines to preserve one's appearance. He reckoned that they might be useful in the future. Thinking about it now, his decision at that time was indeed a wise one.

Just as Maki Chen was thinking of a plan to earn money, Xi Mengyao's little head peeked over again, looking at Maki Chen warily.

There was no other reason but the expression on Maki Chen's face just now was a little crafty. She directly told her that Maki Chen was definitely plotting some kind of unspeakable secret.

Junior brother, what are you thinking about?

Maki Chen withdrew his consciousness from the contemplation, and laughed awkwardly: I … I was thinking about my training.

Xi Mengyao blinked her eyes, using a puzzled look to look at Maki Chen, obviously not believing his.

Really?

Really!

Seeing that she could not get any answers, Xi Mengyao could only turn her head in frustration. She extended her hand out to scratch the Blacky's chin and felt that it was really cute.

Mountain Sea Pavilion, in front of a secluded pavilion in the southern corner of the pavilion.

Maki Chen took out the jade keepsake that was always hung on his waist, with a sad look on his face.

After leaving the Mu Manor for a while, Maki Chen had a guess as to the condition of Second Uncle's body.

Thinking of this, Maki Chen's hand unavoidably tightened around the keepsake.

Junior brother, come with me to the second floor to see master.

Maki Chen nodded and followed suit.

The decorations and designs of the pavilion were extremely simple, and there were no signs of deliberate decorations. Everything was neatly arranged, and although it looked boring and simple, there was a hint of elegance hidden in it.

On the second floor, Maki Chen was acutely aware of a powerful aura, which was something the current him was completely unable to match.

Yao'er, bring him in.
