"Jiu'er, Jiu'er, my good daughter! You're back! You have no conscience, you left your mother, and you have been for so many years, why did you come back! Woooooo Missed me. ”

The crying turned from small to loud, and at this time it was already crying earth-shatteringly, crying without manners, and crying with tears on her face, which was Jiu'er's mother - Qing Yao. She is the sister of the patriarch of the cat clan, the most popular saint of the cat clan, and a fairy-like figure in the eyes of others. When have I seen her like this, crying, shouting, and patting the back of the daughter in her arms, like a woman who has lost her mind, which is very different from her usual image.

Bai Ling and Hei Lan were secretly beside them, and only Jiu'er in this world could make the saint of the cat clan lose her temper to this point. Qing Yao, who loves her daughter like her life, has been frightened since Jiu'er left, if it weren't for her brother saying that she wanted Jiu'er to grow up and let her go out alone, she would have gone out to find her daughter a long time ago. finally looked forward to her daughter's return, and as soon as the big stone in her heart was released, her emotions naturally became excited.

"Mother, mother, pay attention to the image. I'm not back, I should be happy. Okay, don't cry, look at this big face, who can recognize it as the most beautiful saint of my cat clan? ”

"Jing will say some sweet words, this little mouth, has not changed. Knowing that my mother is worried, why haven't I ever sent a letter to my mother, and I will never return, and you don't have me as a mother in your heart. Qing Yao wiped her tears with disgust, and by the way, she also combed her messy hair, only to remember that there were Bai Ling and Hei Lan standing next to her. She is used to being elegant in front of people, and her face is faintly hot. But today, when her daughter returns, no matter how out of her temper no matter how much she loses her temper, no one will say anything. She held her daughter's hand tightly, fearing that if she let go, she would disappear from it as before. In the future, I will not let her out of this mountain again.

Qing Yao looked at Jiu'er carefully, reached out and pinched her little face, and then said happily: "Look, my daughters are so beautiful, it's just that this skin is a little worse, come back this time, don't leave, stay with your mother, your mother will make you beautiful." Now I will go with my mother to meet your uncle, who thinks of you every day, and looks forward to your return, so that he can pass on the throne to you. Let's go, let's go find him together. With that, he led her to the place where the patriarch was. Bai Ling and Hei Lan followed, and they also happened to go back to report to the patriarch. After all, the patriarch knew that someone had broken through the formation, but he didn't know who it was. If he had known that Jiu'er was coming back, he was afraid that he would have been impatient to go out to pick up people in person.

Looking at Qing Yao, who was happy, Jiu'er felt very bitter in her heart. Back then, she was willful, she didn't take into account her mother's feelings, she only felt that she was depressed here, yearning for the freedom in her heart, desperately running out, and she was very proud to challenge everywhere, and she didn't agree with the patriarch, let her go, and she left. I never thought that I would be so embarrassed, and now that I came back in disgrace, the mouse still didn't catch one, and she had to come back cheekily and beg the patriarch to teach her spells. The thought of this made her feel uncomfortable. Back then, the patriarch said that she could only come back if she had a chance. I don't know if his old man's anger has disappeared after so many years. She was a little uneasy in her heart, and she was really afraid to see the patriarch's disappointed eyes on her. Alas, he also boasted that he was a nine-life cat that only happened once in hundreds of years, and he couldn't even beat Bai Ling and Hei Lan, so he was really embarrassed to be thrown into his grandmother's house.

While thinking about things and walking, there was Qing Yao's gentle voice in her ears, and she told her not to make her uncle angry, since her father died in a big battle with the snake clan, her uncle has always been taking care of them, and she is like a father and a teacher, blaming him for not being sensible, so he will make him anxious. She still remembered her uncle, who was angry at the time, and scolded her for not doing the same thing: "If you had learned half of your father's spells, you wouldn't have become what you are now!" At that time, he hated that iron could not be made of steel, so he forced her to clean up the big mouse in the Black Magic Ridge, but she was chased all over the mountain by a mouse. It was also from that point on that he lost face and became a big joke in the cat clan, and also a big laughing stock in the rat clan. I knew today, why bother at the beginning, if she had the consciousness she has now, how could she let the golden retriever escape.

When she was in a trance, Qing Yao's gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Jiu'er, call uncle!" ”

As soon as she came back to her senses, she saw the man in front of her who was like a father and a teacher. After so many years, his appearance has not changed at all, he is still so gentle and elegant, and he can't see that he is a decisive leader of the cat clan at all. Bai Ling and Hei Lan had already saluted him respectfully, and called out "Patriarch" in unison. She was a little weak-hearted, thinking that she was angry and left, although what he said was also angry for a while, but he really hurt her heart at that time. When they met again, she was a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Patriarch!" She opened her mouth and screamed. After calling, Qing Yao gently twisted it with her hand and warned her to pay attention to proportion.

Qingpeng sat on a large Taishi chair, picked up the teacup beside him unhurriedly, took a shallow sip of tea, and then raised his head lazily and looked at her fixedly. She watched until her heart was furious and her legs trembled.

"Got the rat? You said you wouldn't set foot in here for a day without catching a mouse, but now it seems that you did what you said? ”

A cold voice sounded, knocking straight into her heart. She touched her nose and didn't dare answer, just laughed a few times. She rolled her eyes a few times, and then said to Qing Yao, "Mother, you go out first." I'll discuss this with my uncle, and you can wait for me outside first. ”

Qing Yao looked at her suspiciously, and was about to ask her what was the matter, but asked Qing Peng to raise his hand to stop her. Qing Yao couldn't, so she could only lower her eyes, pat her hand comfortingly, and then walked out with Bai Ling and Hei Lan.

As soon as Qing Yao and the others left, Jiu'er knelt in front of Qing Peng with a plop. Qingpeng's face tightened, and he didn't speak, just quietly looked at the person kneeling in front of him.

"Uncle, Jiu'er knows that he is wrong. I used to be bad, I shouldn't be arrogant and disrespectful, please uncle ignore the villain, forgive Jiu'er. ”

"You, why is that? But what trouble did you get out there? ”

"Jiu'er owes a debt outside, and now I come back to ask my uncle to help me."

"You get up first, and then tell me in detail." Seeing her like this, Qingpeng must have been wronged outside, and he didn't want to embarrass her anymore, so let her get up first and then speak.

After thanking Qingpeng, she stood up and told Qingpeng everything that happened in the world. Qing Peng frowned as he listened, and when he heard that she was going to accompany the immortal to reincarnate, he shouted: "Nonsense! Life is no child's play! ”

"Uncle is angry, this is a debt owed by Jiu'er, even if I want my nine lives, I must pay it back. I'm afraid of disappointing your expectations, Jiu'er is uneasy. I also hope that my uncle will train others to inherit the position of patriarch in the future, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do. ”

"Does your mother know about this?"

"Never."

"Well, you won't be allowed to tell her in the future. If you want to learn spells, it's not impossible, I will teach them with all my might, but whether you can practice it in the future depends on your creation. I'm a little interested in the weapon you just said you used on Yinling Mountain, you might as well take it out, and I'll let Heilan copy it, so that it can become a sharp weapon for my cat clan against the enemy. Since you have made a big mistake, you have to bear the consequences, and my cat people are not ungrateful. In the future, you will get revenge, if you can achieve positive results, don't forget to come back to see your mother. In case, if it really turns to ashes, I will also return to my homeland and return to the forest of my cat people. Your mother has me to take care of, and I will practice as if you are outside, and you will not come back. After Qingpeng said this sentence painfully, he closed his eyes and hid all the bitterness in his eyes, without letting Jiu'er notice anything.

After listening to his words, Jiu'er stretched out his hand and conjured a strange-looking thing in the air. He fixed his eyes on it, it was indeed a sharp weapon against rats, and he couldn't help but nod appreciatively at her.

"Kuroarashi!" Qingpeng shouted outside the door, and Hei Lan answered.

"Take this thing to build it, and then distribute it to the warriors of the clan, and then let Jiu'er teach everyone how to use it, and this thing will be an important weapon of my cat clan in the future." Pass the order, let everyone hurry up and practice, the fox clan has been calm for many days, I am afraid that there will be some action in the near future, so that everyone is vigilant, and must not make the last mistake again. ”

Hei Lan bowed, took the things in Jiu'er's hand, and didn't speak, and hurriedly walked out.

"You just came back, don't worry about learning spells, get together with your mother first, save her from thinking nonsense, and I'll pass on your spells in a few days." This time, you should accompany your mother more. Go ahead, I'll take care of your business. Qingpeng waved his hand and asked her to go down first.

She happily answered "yes" and turned to leave, with a smile on her face, the wind under her feet, and in the blink of an eye, she was already outside the door. Only Qingpeng was left alone in the room to ponder for a long time, and finally stared at the door and sighed lightly. This kid has a really big heart. Born to be a good seedling, but he doesn't take anything to heart, nine lives, give up when you say give up, how is this good? How will he explain to Qing Yao in the future, he reached out and pressed his forehead, closed his eyes again, and fell into deep thought again.
