Lin SuCi did not know what happened. He only knew that from the next day, when this extroverted Fifth Senior saw him, his eyes would be glued to the ground, and he did not dare to look at him at all.

Lin SuCi did not really understand why.

Before he could study what was going on, Qing Fou who seldom took the initiative to look for him sent him a paper crane, asking him to come to the main hall to discuss some important matters.

Comparing these two situations, Lin SuCi decisively tossed the matter of Fifth Senior’s strange behavior to the back of his head, and participated the sect’s important meeting for the first time.

It was supposed to be a discussion. Lin SuCi was sitting on a redwood round chair, munching on a plate of milk cakes in his arms that Huilian had given him. His seniors had a pile of roasted chestnuts each in their hands, including Qing Fou.

The entire hall of master and disciples, other than Yan Boshen, were all concentrating on peeling the chestnuts.

They were enjoying the sweetness and crispness of the chestnuts, and the entire place was filled with its aroma. Lin SuCi casually stuffed a piece of milk cake in Yan Boshen’s mouth, and he mumbled with his mouth full, “Are we gathering together to discuss the one hundred methods of eating sugar roasted chestnuts?”

Caught off guard and his mouth stuffed with a piece of milk cake, Yan Boshen’s face stiffened, with the little kitty’s snack in his mouth. His eyes swept past his juniors who were looking at him.

Xiao Lan was the first to calmly avert his gaze, lowering his head and shoving a bunch of peeled chestnuts into his mouth, chewing on them noisily.

Under the stare of Yan Boshen, Huilian, Ruan Linggu and Zhongli Haiming all turned their eyes away, pretending that they did not see a thing.

Qing Fou peeled a chestnut and tossed it at Lin SuCi, answering his question.

“Do you still remember our quota? There’s only a few more months left to the event, time will pass in the blink of an eye.”

“Master, I’ve done my preparation,” Ruan Linggu undid the sachet by her waist, opening it. “This is what I’ve been working on all day and night recently. If there’s any rare spiritual beasts in the place, I’ll be able to capture them all and put them inside. Inside is a spiritual space, and I can keep them there and bring them out.”

Ruan Linggu was afraid that words were not enough to describe it, and she smiled warmly at Lin SuCi. “Little Junior, come over. Change back, and we can try it.”

Lin SuCi was very cooperative, shoving his plate of milk cakes at Yan Boshen and turned into a palm-size kitten, entering Ruan Linggu’s silk pouch.

That silk pouch looked only as big as a sachet, but it was extremely spacious within. Different from other ordinary dimension bags, in it was a spiritual energy that was friendly towards living things. Lin SuCi turned a few circles in it, making sure it was safe, and climbed back out from the unsealed opening.

“There’s no problem.” Lin SuCi raised his paw, confirming it.

Huilian was not resigned to playing second fiddle. “Master, I’ve prepared quite a number of charms here. They will be able to search for treasures automatically, and we would definitely be able to get the spiritual materials ahead of others.”

“As for me, I can communicate with the dead, and avoid other people!” Zhongli Haiming counted on his fingers as he judged his ability, “Like this, we can save a lot of time, and avoid disasters.”

Xiao Lan looked up, glancing at Yan Boshen, then bowed his head and mumbled, “I can… keep a lookout.”

Lin SuCi was now in his cat form, and had already openly retreated into the arms of Yan Boshen. His eyes blinked innocently, listening to his seniors coming up with all sorts of ways to exchange their goods for money. He then felt guilty about how Yan Boshen spent so much money on him. Secretly tugging at Yan Boshen’s sleeve, he spoke guiltily, “I don’t want dried fish anymore, how much money do you think this can save?”
