"Ah, ah...that..." Mu Xuzhen followed her finger and looked at the box. For a moment, a layer of panic appeared on his serious face, but he quickly concealed it. He lowered his voice and said, "No, nothing..."

"Nothing, why can't you tell me, is there any little secret you don't want to share with your lovely junior sister..." Li Mo said with a smile, the more Mu Xuzhen didn't want her to see, the more she wanted to see, she never gave up until she achieved her goal, and kept pestering Mu Xuzhen to show her what was in the box. With soft words and delicate pouting, Mu Xuzhen was really pestered by her and agreed to let her take a look.

Just one look.

She swore to Mu Xuzhen that she would only take one look.

The lid of the box opened with a click, and inside the palm-sized box were several small items, one of which was an embroidered baby bag. Mu Xuzhen said softly with a nostalgic expression, "This is the only thing my parents left me before they died. I don't know my name, but I'm just a crying baby in the Tiger Demon Tu Village. Fortunately, I was saved by the master and then accepted as a disciple. This is my only bond in the human world. Apart from this, everything I have comes from the master and the Wentian Sect."

"Oh." Li Mo nodded and comforted him sincerely, but her heart was very indifferent. Family affection is the first thing that cultivators would abandon, especially those whose parents are mortals. She did not understand why the expression on Mu Xuzhen's face was so emotional at this moment.

Perhaps, this is the difference between Taoism and demonic cultivation...

She was more interested in something else. It was glowing with purple light in the box. The light spots were colorful and full of fairy spirit. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. She picked up the round purple crystal jade and raised her head to Mu Xuzhen and said, "Brother, what is this?"

"This is the Jade Dragon Breath Purple Crystal, a magical treasure that Master went through great pains to obtain from the Hundred Flowers Divine Abyss in the East China Sea. That year, it was my sixth birthday, and I won the first place in the Inner Sect Disciple Competition for the first time."

Oh, it’s my sixth birthday gift.

Li Mo curled her lips in her heart.

A little brat.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart, and a sense of malice slowly grew from the bottom of her heart.

Every time she saw her senior brother's gentle and doting smile, she didn't feel warm at all but rather glaring. A powerful demon who had grown up among the dead and the evil and had to devour each other's flesh and blood to survive, suppressed her innate evil nature and spent her days in the Wentian Sect. At this moment, the accumulated malice and distortion made her have a thought...

Humph, she hates beauty and warmth... In fact, every moment in Wentian Sect, she has an urge to crush all beautiful things.

She wanted to see them collapse right before her eyes...

then……

"What about this?" Li Mo pointed to a small purple flower on the side.

Mu Xuzhen picked up the Jinyulongxi purple crystal, took out a large white jade plate from the mustard seed ring, placed it in the middle, pinched his fingers, and the spiritual spring slowly filled the plate. Then he put the purple flower in. A breeze blew, and the purple flower grew branches, which instantly grew to the ceiling of the library. The branches and vines spread out, and the purple flowers bloomed, giving off a strange and moving floral fragrance. Li Mo only felt his soul being shaken, and his whole body was filled with spiritual energy.

"This is the Purple Jade Dragon Fragrance Flower that my master gave me as a reward after I successfully exorcised a demon for the first time. This flower is a divine flower of the immortal grade. When combined with the Jade Dragon Breath Purple Crystal, it can nourish the soul and calm the qi and cultivate essence. On ordinary days, I am reluctant to use it."

But when his dearest junior sister wanted to see it, he still showed it to her generously. She smiled sweetly again, opened her big watery eyes and said to him gratefully: "Senior brother, you are so good to me."

She turned her eyes and pointed to the purple flower on the top of the ceiling and said, "Brother, that flower is so beautiful, can you pick it for me?"

After saying this, her face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "I want to pick it and take it home, and put it in front of my bed, so that my whole room will be filled with this wonderful fragrance that soothes my soul. This way, I may be able to study faster tomorrow, and then I can be as good as my senior brother and receive the praise of our master."

"Junior sister, you are already very capable." Mu Xuzhen comforted Li Mo.

Li Mo looked depressed and said, "But I am not as good as my senior brother, nor as smart as him... Master, will you dislike me? Will you dislike someone as stupid as me..."

"No, no." Mu Xuzhen was a little anxious after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "Master, he, he looks very cold, but he loves his disciples the most, not only to me, but also to you. You will know in the future..."

After saying that, he stood up, looked up at the purple jade dragon-fragrant flower on the top, and said seriously: "Junior sister, wait, I will pick the flowers for you right away, not just one, I will give you all of them and put them in your room, it's all fine."

After saying that, he flew over and picked up the flower on top of his head. The exotic fragrance of the flower lingered around his fingertips, bringing with it a strong fairy wind. Just as he excitedly wanted to turn around and tell his sister that he had picked it, he suddenly heard a "crack" sound of something violently shattering.

He turned around and saw the fragments of the gemstone jade plate scattered all over the ground. The Jade Dragon Breath Purple Crystal was even crushed by the white jade plate. It was no longer as beautiful as it once was. He was stunned.

Li Mo's face was filled with tears and fear, but her eyes were surprisingly bright, like the bright stars in the night sky. She said with tears in her voice: "What, what should I do, Brother, I accidentally touched the purple jade and let them fall to the ground... I really, really didn't mean to..."

After saying that, she squatted down, covered her face and cried, her frightened cry filled the whole room.

Mu Xuzhen felt distressed when he heard the crying. He also thought about how young his junior sister was and how she had just arrived at Ducang Peak. Now that she had gotten into trouble, she was naturally very scared. He pointed his finger in the direction of the broken jade powder stone on the ground. His fingertips trembled, and he slowly withdrew his hand. He walked to Li Mo, squatted down with her, patted her shoulder gently, and said, "It's okay, junior sister. It's broken, it's just an external object."

"But..." Li Mo raised her tear-stained face, eyes filled with sadness and sorrow: "This is a precious gift that Master gave you, but I broke it... Senior Brother, you must hate me, don't you think I'm a bad person, a bad Junior Sister..."

“No, no…” Mu Xuzhen waved her hands repeatedly and said, “You are a very good and obedient junior sister, how could I hate you… No, no…”

"Really, really?" Li Mo looked up at Mu Xuzhen timidly, as if she was afraid that he would rush over and hit her in anger the next moment.

"Of course." Mu Xuzhen nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, senior brother." Li Mo pounced on Mu Xuzhen and hugged his shoulders.

Mu Xuzhen patted her shoulder gently, feeling a little sorry for this timid and weak junior sister who felt as if the sky had fallen down when she did something wrong. Behind him, Li Mo was crying with a weird smile on her lips... Her eyes were very twisted...

Mu Xuzhen coaxed Li Mo for a long time before she stopped being afraid and stopped crying, but her eyes were still very red and swollen, like a newborn snow-white rabbit, so cute and touching. Mu Xuzhen felt like he was the owner of a fragile and cute little animal, caring for her carefully and tenderly, for fear that he would hurt the little life if he was not careful.
