Chapter 452: Master Isn’t Lying to You

With a strand of mystic conscious as a guide, Mo Lian and Duan Yue each recorded all the contents of the Tianji Treasure Blueprint, without leaving out a character or punctuation mark, into their scarlet and violet jades.

Afterwards, they browsed through everything again. When they confirmed that their copies were complete, the three people then chatted briefly before parting and returning to rest.

Early next morning, just as Qiao Mu turned over and opened her eyes, she sensed someone else in the room.

When she lifted an eyelid open for a look, she saw Murong Xun standing at the window. When Murong Xun heard her movement, she turned her head around and watched her with a smile. “You’ve woken up.”

“Master.” Qiao Mu rubbed her eyes before squirming out of her covers that had wrapped her up like a cocoon.

“Master and your aunt-masters have to depart now.” Murong Xun walked to her bedside. Just like usual, she naturally led the little girl to sit before the dressing table. She picked up the comb and helped the little girl straighten out her head of long disheveled hair, skillfully coiling her hair up into a loop.

“These past years, Master hasn’t taught you too much, nor have I gifted you with anything good. You are a hardworking child and rarely make Master worry about you. Here, keep this.” Murong Xun swiftly pulled a jade bracelet over the little girl’s left wrist.

There was a green pine tree carved on that jade bracelet, while the rest of the jade was flawlessly white, flickering with a glossy white glow.

Qiao Mu was originally still slightly drowsy, but she was completely frightened awake at this moment. She lowered her head to look at the jade bracelet on her wrist. How was it possible for her to not recognize this?

This was clearly the key to open Maple Pavilion!

“Master!” Qiao Mu stood up, almost bumping into Murong Xun’s chin.

“Are you leaving me your last words right now?” She wasn’t an idiot. Don’t think that she couldn’t hear how Murong Xun’s words sounded like she was making funeral arrangements! Why would she give her Maple Pavilion’s key if nothing was wrong?

“Nonsense!” Murong Xun smacked Qiao Mu’s small skull heavily. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? What a joke. Your master, I, am very strong. In the entire Sikong Planet, who has the capability to kill me?”

“Then this?”

Murong Xun cast her a glance grumpily. “This is the gift for your coming-of-age hairpin ceremony! Master only has this to give you!”

“Nonsense. This is the token of each successive sect master.” Qiao Mu was anxious and so agitated that her eyes were about to redden. Besides, she had not even turned thirteen years old yet this year, with more than two years to go until her coming-of-age hairpin ceremony. What was her master in a rush for to give her her gift so early?

“Anyways, you don’t need to think about it. Master gave it to you, so keep it. Why are you saying so much?” You don’t speak so much normally, either. It really was vexing today!

“Master, I’m going back to the sect with you.” The little girl immediately spoke.

“Girl, you’re so long-winded for your small age! Tell me how many years have you not yet returned home for a visit? Perhaps, your mother and father even think that our Holy Water Sect is a human-devouring sect that abducts children and prohibits them from returning home.” Murong Xun poked her small head with her finger and couldn’t resist saying with a laugh, “I already said that there’s nothing wrong. You child like to let your imagination run wild and worry all the time. Alright, alright, Master really has to depart now! You should hurry and pack up too and go home, okay!”

“Master!” The little fellow cried out loud.

Murong Xun lowered her head smilingly to look at her and couldn’t resist teasing, “What is it, what is it? I’m just having you return home. You can’t bear to part with Master?”

“You’re not lying to me!”

“Of course, when have you seen Master lying to you?” Murong Xun rubbed her small head with a smile. She then stretched out her hands to hug her small body frame and pat her back lightly. “Master will never lie to you.”
