Actually, it’s not irreparable. If her treasure, the Mystic Spirit Pearl, were still here, it could definitely make up for everything.
Her Mystic Spirit Pearl was deceived away by that enemy, who has been slain by her, yet the Mystic Spirit Pearl is still missing.
The mark on the Mystic Spirit Pearl was completely erased by the other party, and she couldn’t sense its existence.
The daughter’s situation was all caused by her, and she still feels deeply guilty.
Ah Chen noticed the guilt flashing in Pei Feixue’s eyes and could guess somewhat. The commissioner encountered a crisis when in the womb, Pei Feixue suffered severe harm as known, causing the commissioner’s spirit root to be inherently flawed.
Since the commissioner is going to return, Ah Chen didn’t bother repairing the mother-daughter relationship with Pei Feixue. Let the other party resolve it themselves upon return.
"You should go practice." Pei Feixue finally sighed, it was already good that her daughter didn’t argue with her today.
Ah Chen nodded and turned to leave.
Upon leaving the main peak, she didn’t return to her own cave; there was another matter to settle.
Currently, the sect disciples are surely talking about Jin Congmo’s injury, some might even think it’s related to her.
This will not do.
Ah Chen summoned an Immortal Crane, as the peaks in the sect are far apart, there are birds for travel, disciples with lower cultivation can ride them. However, riding birds requires feeding, which can be Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicine, Elixirs.
Many disciples in the sect look down on the commissioner, but these birds like her quite a lot.
They didn’t care about the commissioner’s talent; she gave plenty.
Every time the commissioner appeared in front of the birds, they quickly gathered around, eager for her to ride them elsewhere.
But the commissioner’s favorite bird is the Immortal Crane, yet she didn’t neglect the other birds either, tossing some food whenever encountered. Simple feeding was worth more than other disciples’ offerings when riding them.
Today, all the birds were rather idle, after Ah Chen fed them, she sat on the Immortal Crane’s back; several other birds followed in flight, seemingly escorting her.
Such a scene indeed pleased Ah Chen, prompting her to take out a bottle of Elixirs for feeding.
She thought, another day, she could personally refine some Elixirs, sect’s Spiritual Beasts are much more sensible than some disciples.
Some disciples would take benefits from the commissioner then turn around to gossip, inwardly they looked down on her, truthfully just ungrateful wretches.
Better to give to these birds instead.
Ah Chen suddenly had a bold idea, affairs with the commissioner are quite easy to handle.
However, those sect disciples who once accepted the commissioner’s benefits, just gossip behind backs, inwardly looked down and were envious, thinking her a fool. Really speaking, they didn’t act against; hence hard to take action against them.
Now certainly, Ah Chen wouldn’t be that fool anymore, still it felt quite uncomfortable.
Might as well channel past aids meant for other disciples to these Spiritual Beasts.
Another day, refine some potent Elixirs, properly enhance the obedient Spiritual Beasts within the sect; would be superb if some could ascend.
No thoughts on cultivation yet, the commissioner would return, let her practice herself.
But refining Alchemy could still be studied well, who stipulated Foundation Establishment couldn’t produce Top Grade Elixirs?
A top Alchemist, even if inept, nobody would dare underestimate.
Also would make many uncomfortable.
"You all can return, should others in sect need you and can’t find, you’ll be scolded." Ah Chen addressed the following birds, again tossing them food, the birds bobbed their heads toward her and flew back to the main peak.
Ah Chen sat on the Immortal Crane’s back, attached a Concealing Talisman, began wandering through the sect, now to catch those who gossip about her.
Her Divine Sense swept through, quickly locating the targets.
There were three to five people practicing swordsmanship, gossiping about her while doing so.
"Wasn’t it said that this time Senior Brother Jin got injured while saving Senior Sister Jin? Is there something hidden?"
"You believe that? It’s just words discussed and agreed upon by sect leaders, really just to keep Sect Master’s daughter, Ah Chen, from getting criticized."
"Ah Chen followed quietly for this trial, though she hasn’t stated outright, anyone who pays attention knows she’s surely drawn to Senior Brother Jin. Senior Brother Jin has a Heavenly Spirit Root, plus good looks, truly favored by heaven, who wouldn’t adore? Yet Ah Chen appears somewhat sensible, not using her Sect Master’s daughter status to force Senior Brother Jin into becoming a Dao partner."
"Is it that she doesn’t want to? I rather think she dared not. Senior Brother Jin is a disciple of the Supreme Elder, truly pressuring, even Sect Master couldn’t shield her. Had it been another disciple without background, see how Ah Chen acts, for sure would grab by force."
"Wasn’t it about Senior Brother Jin’s injury?"
"Right, back to topic, it’s clear that the sect announcing Senior Brother Jin’s injury certainly involves Ah Chen, Sect Master having such a troublesome and always dragging-on daughter is truly unlucky."
"A great family background wasted, this background with a True Spirit Root could easily soar."
"Too bad it’s me with this background, my mother didn’t plan another." Ah Chen suddenly spoke, "Cultivators can’t just have children because they want; being mother and daughter with my mother is our fate."
The disciples who initially gossiped were taken aback upon seeing Ah Chen suddenly appear atop an Immortal Crane, saying this, a chill went down their spines.
Ah Chen recognized them somewhat, they were ones who had benefited from her before.
Of course, her aid wasn’t without reciprocation, employing them for certain tasks, rewards outweighing their effort substantially.
This should be considered blatant care, but rather than gratitude, they turned gossiping behind her back.
Their expressions soured wanting to speak, but Ah Chen continued: "Regarding Senior Brother Jin’s injury, hardly need conceal anything, stop imagining behind backs, has no relevance to me."
With that said, Ah Chen rode the Immortal Crane and departed.
A similar scenario ensued between various peaks.
After catching those slandering her red-handed, Ah Chen went cheerily to the mission hall, tossed a Memory Stone to the Elder inside.
"Sect disciples misunderstood me a bit, I think there’s a need for clarification; irrelevant things shouldn’t be pinned on me. Elder, kindly take this Memory Stone and broadcast across peaks, let sect disciples see clearly."
"This Memory Stone’s original purpose was recording the scenery along the journey, unexpectedly of use now."
"Scenery is beautiful, Elder may also display it, let those who haven’t visited appreciate."
Ah Chen finished, handed the Elder at the mission hall a bottle of High Grade Elixirs.
The Elder accepted cheerfully, benefits in hand make anything negotiable, anyway it didn’t breach rules: "Sure, will soon broadcast everything on the Memory Stone to all peaks."
