The commissioner later mentioned this matter, and Jin Congshuang’s expression seemed not too good, so he didn’t ask further.
As long as there are enough contribution points and the spiritual beast willingly forms a contract, the sect doesn’t care how many a disciple can contract.
On the contrary, if a sect disciple truly has the ability to contract all the spiritual beasts on the Spiritual Beast Peak, they will only receive focused training.
"Congshuang wanted a spiritual pet, so we came to take a look," Jin Congmo said, "I didn’t expect to meet you here."
He scanned the table, with dishes not yet put away, somewhat surprised.
Junior Sister Pei indeed loved delicacies, and who would have thought she was here having a fish feast.
Even if nearly finished dining, the fragrance alone revealed the deliciousness of various fish.
Indeed, coming with Jin Congshuang to select a spiritual beast was true, as her most powerful Bee King was blown up by Ah Chen, and now urgently needed a spiritual beast to supplement her cultivation deficiency.
Previously, a mistake in training made it impossible to continue, otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought of looking to the sect, given that the sect’s resources weren’t exchanged with spirit stones, requiring contribution points instead.
Moreover, they both heard Ah Chen was at the Spiritual Beast Peak, and Jin Congmo already had a new plan, conveniently arranging an encounter.
Suddenly getting close to Ah Chen wouldn’t work, spending more time together was needed. Ah Chen was already interested in him, so some things would naturally fall into place.
Jin Congmo thought it was a good plan.
"So that’s it."
"Then I won’t disturb Senior Brother Jin and Senior Sister Jin in picking a spiritual pet."
But Jin Congshuang said, "Junior Sister Pei, would you like to join us? Since we’ve bumped into each other, let’s go together. Speaking of which, since returning to the sect, my brother is finally willing to come out for a walk."
There was deep meaning in her words, but Ah Chen did not refuse and agreed.
They invited her to join, so if they failed to contract a spiritual beast later, they shouldn’t blame her.
Indeed, it was worthwhile to go and see.
With such malice against her, how could she let them have their way?
At this moment, Jin Congshuang’s gaze suddenly fell on a tabby cat fishing by the distant lake, and her eyes shifted slightly, a hint of longing appeared in her eyes.
Che Ronggui was clearly adept at reading the situation and leaned in to whisper to Jin Congshuang: "Junior Sister Jin, that’s Senior Sang Biao of our Spiritual Beast Peak, very powerful."
Just this one sentence sobered Jin Congshuang, suppressing the desire to contract that tabby cat.
Indeed very strong, she couldn’t see his cultivation.
She looked several times, finally retracting her gaze.
Now she was still weak, waiting to become stronger, then contracting this tabby cat wouldn’t be too late.
Yan Zui sensed prying eyes, turned his head for a glance, and immediately spotted Jin Congshuang.
This female cultivator, he didn’t like, her aura was repulsive.
A bit strange.
After crossing over to this cultivation world, though some people were annoying, none had ever evoked such a sense of disgust.
"Greetings, Senior Sang Biao." Jin Congshuang saw Yan Zui looking over, bowed respectfully, not treating Yan Zui as a spiritual beast at all.
She saw Yan Zui fishing, and nearby strange culinary tools were placed, realizing the fish feast on the table was likely made by this tabby cat, a trace of admiration filled her heart, and her desire to contract the tabby cat soared to the peak. However, she lowered her eyes, daring not to show her desires.
Che Ronggui had said, this one was powerful, she couldn’t afford to provoke him now.
Someday, she would own this tabby cat capable of crafting an entire fish feast.
What level was Yan Zui? Even if Jin Congshuang’s disguise was excellent, that kind of scrutiny remained unabated.
Daring to think of contracting him? What a daylight dream.
[Master, the cat doesn’t like this person.] Even Sang Biao couldn’t help but speak, [Master, could you drive her away? She’s getting closer, making the cat’s heart very agitated.]
Yan Zui frowned slightly, Sang Biao had never been so agitated, he didn’t know why, but since it was affecting Sang Biao, it definitely needed resolving.
Thus, when Jin Congshuang unknowingly approached, Yan Zui lifted his gaze, coldly staring at her, and issued a single word: "Scram!"
As the word fell, his paw raised, throwing Jin Congshuang out of the Spiritual Beast Peak.
Jin Congshuang didn’t even have time to cry out before she turned into a spot of light, disappearing from everyone’s view.
"Congshuang!" Jin Congmo shouted in concern, momentarily discarding his plan, turning to chase after her, but when circulating spiritual power, he recalled his spirit root was damaged, having difficulty with sword flight, had to resort to using the communication jade pendant to check on Jin Congshuang’s condition.
"Congshuang, how are you?"
Jin Congmo took a step to leave, and Jin Congshuang’s voice came from the communication jade pendant: "Brother, I’m fine."
Jin Congshuang’s face was unpleasant, merely thrown out, not harmed.
It’s just the other’s command to scram, shook her spirit, leaving her bewildered.
Of course, being thrown out was quite humiliating.
"Brother, could you ask what might have offended Senior Sang Biao, or if he heard some ill rumors?" Jin Congshuang’s words were quite artistic, but paired with her anxious and aggrieved tone, it truly made it hard to spot anything amiss.
But hearing this, and those who disliked Ah Chen would subconsciously associate it with her.
"Alright, I’ll ask Senior Sang Biao for a reason." Knowing his sister was unharmed, Jin Congmo relaxed and walked towards Yan Zui.
"I wonder why Senior Sang Biao, without reason, expelled my sister from the Spiritual Beast Peak? This is our first visit, never having had any conflict with you before."
"I request an explanation from the senior."
As a disciple of Supreme Elder Qi Feng, Jin Congmo’s back was straight, speaking with confidence.
Little did he know, Yan Zui merely glanced at him and said: "You too, scram!"
Sang Biao was a simple-minded, even kind cat; someone making him uncomfortable and agitated mustn’t be a good person.
This one, being the brother of that one, certainly wasn’t a good person either.
Though occasionally he despised Sang Biao, he was still the stray pet he personally adopted.
"Senior, you’re being unreasonable!"
Anger surged in Jin Congmo’s heart, even if the other party was formidable, they were just a beast. His master was the Supreme Elder, surely having a higher status in the sect than a mere beast.
But before he could express this thought, Yan Zui once more acted, instantly throwing Jin Congmo out of the Spiritual Beast Peak.
Che Ronggui stood trembling on the side, after a while, carefully looked at Yan Zui, standing far away, afraid of being thrown out too: "Senior Sang Biao, Senior Brother Jin and Junior Sister Jin are disciples of Supreme Elder Qi Feng, especially Senior Brother Jin, the direct disciple of Supreme Elder Qi Feng."
As he spoke, he secretly observed Yan Zui, trying to discern any emotion on that cat face.
Yet, Yan Zui merely whispered two words: "Noisy!"
"Senior, I’ll see myself out!" Before Yan Zui could act, Che Ronggui hurriedly ran away in fright.
