She looked at him without the slightest emotion. In her pair of bright peach blossom eyes, there was no longer the astonishment of seeing him for the first time, and also no surprise when he brought her to the Crescent Peak and found a small bamboo house to live in. She just looked at him with a strange look.

He only remembered that she had outstanding talent and comprehension abilities, but his disciple couldn't obtain his approval just because of this.

He let her go out to train on the third day of her apprenticeship and gave her the task of finding the Moon's Fire. He had originally wanted to test if she could find the Moon's Fire, but he didn't expect such a big change to happen in the Lost Swamp.

After living for so many years, he had long since gotten used to seeing the life and death of the people in this world. Adding money to that, he was already too rational, and he was not interested in her disappearance or even death, he only felt that she had disappointed him.

But now, when she stood in front of him, he could clearly see that she had a pair of clear eyes, as if she had seen through all the dirt in the world.

"I don't owe you anything," she said.

Di Shang covered his heart, not daring to touch her eyes again. He just waved his hand, signalling for her to take his little pet and leave.

Gu Qingcheng had initially thought that she had to get it, but she was instead stunned by his sudden change of events. She refused to forgive him, "Teacher, I just want that pet. Teacher …" Her expression was very pitiful, and very touching. Even her voice reminded him of her in his dreams, but for some reason, he actually had a faint feeling of tiredness.

"Master …"

Gu Qingcheng's tears fell again, feeling extremely wronged. "Master, I can't wait to see that little pet again. If I can't get it, I'd have no heart to cultivate. Master, Qingcheng just likes it too much …"

Was it because he liked it so much that he came to snatch something that didn't belong to him?

Gu Hua smirked coldly. It seemed like she had completely forgotten her final words of advice to Gu Qingcheng, and was still delusional about her floral tail beast. Did this mean that Di Shang was too good to her and even forgot her surname?

It seemed like DiShang had unintentionally mastered it.

"Master …" DiShang had always liked her and treated her like a treasure in his palm. Looking at her now, no matter how cold her heart was, it was extremely painful for her. After a moment, she actually changed her mind and stared at the Flowertail Beast beneath Gu Hua Wei with determination, "Leave the little pet here, I'll find a better one for you."

Gu Hua Wei laughed out loud. Even her tears almost flowed as she said, "Master really has been ignoring worldly matters for so many years. Have you completely forgotten about the basic morals of a person?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" With Di Shang protecting her, Gu Qingcheng was very brave. Seeing that her relationship with Gu Hua Wei had been broken, she stopped pretending, even if Gu Hua Wei was still alive, as long as she had her master protecting her, it would only take a few minutes to kill Gu Hua Wei. Not to mention snatching that demonic beast from her hands.

She had to get this demonic beast. That thing had been starving for too long, so she couldn't wait any longer …

"Master is actually the number one person in the Cloud Sect. I'm giving you face by asking you for a small favor. Since you're so stingy, don't blame Master for treating you like this!"

"Is Master like this?" Gu Hua slightly glanced at Di Shang, the last trace of affection in his heart also disappeared.

Di Shang didn't look at her, his eyes focused on the beautiful Gu Qingcheng, "So it's like that."

"But, since our relationship as master and disciple has already come to an end, why should I pay any price for an irresponsible master? "What's more …" The Flowertail Beast licked the palm of her hand, and in an instant, Gu Hua had lost all of the hostility in her body and calmed down, "Besides, it has been through too many things with me, almost dying because of me. No one can be unmoved in front of such kindness." She would never give it up.

"You …" Gu Qingcheng pointed a finger at Gu Hua's nose, wanting to rush over and shout, "You're lying!"

"Master knows better than you whether I'm lying or not."

As long as she was lying, Di Shang's spiritual sense would never let her go, not to mention that she did not tell any lies.

"Master," she called out to him earnestly, her eyes clear and pure. "People cannot forget their roots."

"You can go." Di Shang stretched out his hands to release the Flowertail Beast, hugging Gu Qingcheng tightly in her embrace, no longer bothering to look at her.

Gu Hua Wei looked at DiShang's silent and cold figure for the last time, and said loudly, "From today onwards, you, your Master, I, and my disciple will swear to be your witnesses and cut off all ties!"

DiShang's body slightly trembled. He could only see the young girl and that fiery-red figure fall down the cliff, not even looking back.

At that moment, Gu Qingcheng was crying like she was on the verge of death in his embrace. Yet, he felt as though he had lost something too important.

Gu Hua Wei blacked out on the Flowertail Beast's back in the fierce wind that blew into her ears. She had already been seriously injured by Di Shang, and then had to spend time and effort in order to circle around, she was already exhausted.

The Flowertail Beast agilely jumped down through the cracks in the rocks at the edge of the cliff. Its movements were very gentle, and it didn't want to wake up that silly fool on its back at all.

By the time Gu Hua woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. She was lying in a warm cave with a small and tired Flowertail Beast sleeping beside her.

Its small nose twitched as it buried its head in Gu Hua's bosom. Gu Hua extended her arms to hug it, and with a glance, she could see the cave, wisps of it, the bright and beautiful morning sun, and a field of gradually blooming flowers that emitted a faint, multicolored fragrance.

Gu Hua relaxed a little. This must be a safe place for the floral tail beast.

Thinking about what the floral tail beast did after he fainted, Gu Hua Wei's heart became soft and felt like it was going to melt at any moment. He used his fingers to lightly stroke the floral tail beast's little pads and looked at its sleeping face.

She still hadn't given this little fellow a name.

Gu Hua's heart was filled with guilt. She wanted to give this arrogant little guy a name.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment. Before she could think about it, a light touch came from her fingertip. She lowered her eyes to look at a pair of large eyes, and the owner of the large eyes used his teeth to lightly bite her finger. The sharp teeth pierced her skin, and bright red blood slowly flowed into the mouth of the owner of the glass-like eyes.
