Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1027 - 1023: Brothers in Hardship

The Ginsengfruit had already made it so obvious, Xuan Chu immediately relaxed, relieved it wasn’t Yun Ran in trouble.

Just as he was about to greet the elders from Qingfeng Temple.

The next scene left Xuan Chu completely stunned.

Only to see Dragon Spirit, with a ’thud,’ kneeling down.

His head also hit the ground heavily: "Greetings, three Elders, I am a disciple under Huaiyi True Master."

Xuan Chu: ...

Ginsengfruit: ...

They were always familiar with what kind of person Dragon Spirit was, with a rebellious nature even more intense than Yun Ran (host).

Stubborn as a dead duck, that’s Dragon Spirit.

But now, what did they see?

Dragon Spirit just knelt down like that, assuming the identity of a Qingfeng Temple disciple!

Xuan Chu felt a strange sense of secondhand embarrassment.

His gaze drifted, unable to face the expressions of the three elders opposite.

Ginsengfruit’s expression didn’t look much better, completely shell-shocked.

Even his throat tightened, unsure what to say.

Even the little paperman, who had been cautiously hiding behind the door, felt his mind buzzing.

Elder Qing Yangzi’s gaze casually fell on Dragon Spirit.

Might not appear sharp, but Dragon Spirit, kneeling on the ground, clearly felt.

An intense gaze on his back.

That gaze bore no murderous intent but could easily end him.

In that moment, a chill ran down Dragon Spirit’s spine.

Before, he’d often heard Yun Ran say that the elders of Qingfeng Temple had become immortals, extraordinarily powerful.

Dragon Spirit didn’t rebut Yun Ran but suspected Yun Ran was exaggerating.

Now facing these elders whom Yun Ran often spoke of, he finally understood what feeling like an ant trying to shake a tree meant.

In their eyes, he’s probably just an ant on the ground, easily crushed.

Dragon Spirit’s already bowed back bent even further.

Even when nearly killed by Yun Ran, Dragon Spirit didn’t grovel like this.

Now, he truly understood what it meant to be worthless in others’ eyes.

Sweat beads started forming on Dragon Spirit’s forehead.

Even though Elder Qing Yangzi’s gaze hadn’t fallen on Xuan Chu, Xuan Chu’s feelings were similar to Dragon Spirit’s.

They were truly comrades in misfortune.

The scene fell silent, yet no one dared to speak, nor make any unnecessary movements.

Finally, Elder Qing Yangzi spoke: "You are not a disciple subjected to Qingfeng Temple’s Prohibition, no need for such grand ceremony, rise."

Dragon Spirit’s heart skipped a beat unexpectedly.

He sincerely wished to become Junior Master’s disciple but had no strong desire to enter Qingfeng Temple.

Now the elder didn’t acknowledge him as a Qingfeng Temple disciple, leaving him unsure if Junior Master would use this excuse to refuse him as an apprentice.

Despite having plenty of thoughts now.

Dragon Spirit hurriedly stood up, not daring to have any ulterior motives in front of Elder Qing Yangzi and the others.

The pressuring atmosphere finally eased a bit.

Xuan Chu remembered he hadn’t yet greeted the three seniors.

He stepped forward immediately and performed the greeting of Heavenly Dao Village toward their fellow Daoists.

"Greetings, three Immortal Venerables, I am Xuan Chu from Heavenly Dao Village."

Elder Qing Yangzi nodded, accepting Xuan Chu’s greeting, and the two elders behind him followed suit.

Though they had become immortals, they still offered due respect to Heavenly Dao Envoys.

The Heavenly Dao Restriction suppressed within Xuan Chu’s body resurfaced.

In that brief moment, Xuan Chu distinctly sensed the Restriction within him seemed fearful of the three Immortal Venerables.

But Xuan Chu understood protocol, didn’t ask anything, maintaining the necessary boundaries.

Finally, the atmosphere calmed down.

Ginsengfruit also exhaled in relief.

He had felt pressured, but now that Dragon Spirit and Xuan Chu returned, some of that pressure dispersed from him.

As for how much pressure Dragon Spirit and Xuan Chu felt, Ginsengfruit didn’t concern himself with it.

In dire situations, they could stick together.

But in peaceful circumstances, each one of them would rather deflect responsibilities.

The Tree Spirit, who fainted from exhaustion, awoke, and the little paperman noticed immediately.

hurriedly moved out from behind the door, attempting to tug at Ginsengfruit’s sleeve.

Ginsengfruit hadn’t quite reacted yet when Elder Yuan Bai behind Qing Yangzi turned around.

His expression showing clear disapproval: "Even if you are magic artifacts, in service conduct should be straightforward, why act so sneaky!"

Elder Yuan Bai understood these magic artifacts were somewhat afraid of them.

But being the elders of Qingfeng Temple, they aren’t scary geezers, is there a need for such fear!

If others knew their Qingfeng Temple’s disciples crafted magic artifacts were this timid, it wouldn’t reflect well on the elders face.

Little Paperman: ...

It had been so cautious and still got caught by the elder.

The little paperman awkwardly laughed, but still sweetly said: "Thank you, Elder Yuan Bai, for your guidance, I will certainly change~"

Who wouldn’t like a sweet-talking child, especially one that’s their own?

Elder Yuan Bai smiled approvingly and nodded: "Hmm."

The little paperman hadn’t expected to pass so easily, feeling thrilled, realizing the elder favored sweet talkers.

"Boss, the Tree Spirit woke up~"

Normally, Ginsengfruit wouldn’t need the little paperman’s reminder to notice.

But given the unique circumstances now.

The Tree Spirit was transformed into human form by the elder, her aura different.

Plus, with the three elders present, Ginsengfruit didn’t immediately realize.

Now having the chance to leave, Ginsengfruit didn’t care how the opportunity arose.

"Is that so? I’ll check immediately!"

Ginsengfruit swiftly disappeared, not wanting to linger, the pressure too overwhelming.
