Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

That night, Sui Guanxian cut open a space channel, left a barrier to protect his little disciple, and went to another continent to have fun.

Inside a semicircular barrier that is invisible to the naked eye, Lu Jinzhao is meditating in a tent.

Qiansui leaned on his shoulder, looking for a topic out of boredom: "By the way, what is our main mission this time?"

Lu Jinchao, who was in a trance, ignored it.

No one responded. Qiansui was obviously used to it. He stretched out his cat claws and continued, "Look, in the first small world, our main goal was to collect favorability points to upgrade me, and to help Zhou Ye, who was possessed by you, fulfill his wish. Then you easily achieved it, and we successfully left with a happy ending."

"In the second small world, the main storyline was still for me to upgrade. Although there were some accidents and I chose a small world that was in danger, I survived safely and achieved my goal."

"Originally, I have become an advanced system that can directly revive your modern body. It was you who proposed to come and see your daughter, and by the way, cultivate immortality and fulfill the ultimate dream of modern people. I think it's okay, it should be fun, so I came with you. But recently, I always feel that we are just wandering around in an open world game. Picking up garbage every day, brushing up experience bars, and opening maps everywhere. The main quest is not clear yet, and a lot of side quests have been triggered. It seems that you are too lazy to do them. So I want to ask, when are you going to stay here before leaving?"

The spiritual energy fluctuations around him were taken back into his body, and Lu Jinzhao opened his eyes: "At least, wait until I witness her survive the catastrophe a hundred years later."

"To be honest, I don't think you need to worry about Sui Guanxian dying." Qiansui spread out his cat claws. "I have used instruments to detect her. Her strength is unfathomable, far beyond the upper limit of the instrument's detection, just like an invincible plug-in in a game. If the catastrophe in a hundred years is so great that she can't survive it safely, can you still ensure that you can cultivate to be stronger than her within a hundred years and help her survive the catastrophe? What's more, she is just a paper figure, why is it necessary to worry so much?"

"..." Lu Jinzhao was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched Qiansui's head. "After I became an adult, I often thought that I seemed to have a weak relationship with my relatives. I don't understand why they gave birth to me but didn't love me. I think I have to figure it out. Only when I understand it thoroughly can I not be trapped by this matter for the rest of my life. I think there are always two sides to a thing. Since I have experienced the perspective of children, I should also experience the perspective of parents and then objectively judge my family. Therefore, I put all my efforts into creating a daughter for myself."

"I regard her as another me, but I don't want her to be as unfortunate as me. I gave her the top bloodline of two powerful races, a beauty that would captivate everyone at first sight, a body that is impeccably strong, unparalleled talents, inexhaustible wealth, and a clear mind that can perfectly utilize these advantages to make everything work for her."

"Before I had you, I was just a little painter. I tried my best to give her the best of everything I could with my poor ideas. Although she was not born from my belly and could not be by my side, I know that she is my child."

"Many people say that a life without suffering is incomplete, so they hope their children will suffer more. But I don't want her to suffer at all. Why should I give her suffering if she can live a happy, peaceful and smooth life?"

"After coming to this world and meeting her, I love this daughter even more. She is lively, bright, outspoken, and full of vitality. I think that no parent who truly loves their children would choose to protect themselves when they know that their children will face disasters in the future. So, how could I leave her alone and run away?"

"I know you think I sometimes pay too much attention to Sui Guanxian and ignore your feelings." The seven or eight-year-old child gently stroked the black cat's back, and said calmly: "You are my cat, and I also treat you as my child. If you are in danger, I will not abandon you. In the future, I will try my best to treat you equally and not be partial. Please don't be angry with her, okay?"

Qiansui was furious: "I won't allow it! If Sui Guanxian really wanted to die, I would have taken you away from this little world the moment you were sucked in! Who allowed you to risk your life for a stinky fish! Don't compare me with her! I hate her so much!"

Without waiting for Lu Jinzhao to say anything, Qiansui flew out of the tent angrily.

Lu Jinzhao paused while touching the cat, sighed helplessly, glanced at the thunderous clouds above his head, and decided to make a cat meal and comfort his kitten first.

Just as he was thinking about it, he had just walked out of the tent and set up the stove when his hands and feet were entangled by a cluster of fast-growing vines that emerged from the ground, and his whole body was hung upside down in the air.

Lu Jinzhao reacted and summoned two flying swords to cut the vines into pieces. They fell back to the ground, leaving several twisted vine fragments scattered on the ground, all of which were swimming desperately towards the back of the tent.

Following the direction of the vine, Lu Jinzhao pulled out a moving grass from the bushes, which looked like a Pokémon.

This barrier was specially set up for Lu Jinzhao, and only those weaker than him were allowed to pass through, making it convenient for him to pick flowers and plants, and collect some alchemy materials from monsters.

It is obvious that this unknown grass spirit can appear in the barrier and it cannot be a powerful being.

The grass spirit was lifted into the air, stretching out its short limbs to kick and hit Lu Jinzhao, babbling incoherently, making no sense.

Lu Jinzhao looked at it carefully for a while, then threw the grass essence into the pot and prepared to heat the oil.

As soon as it touched the bottom of the pot, it was instantly scalded and screamed. Liquid that was not sure whether it was juice or tears oozed out of the grass spirit's tiny face, and it pointed at Lu Jinzhao as if accusing him.

Lu Jinzhao was unmoved: "I'm so sorry, I don't understand what you are saying."

Just as he was about to use the spatula to push the grass spirit back into the pot, a dark shadow jumped out and stopped him. Qiansui fished the grass spirit out and said, "Leave it under the pot! Don't eat it yet!"

"What?" Although Lu Jinchao was a little confused, he still stopped his actions as he was told.

Qiansui scratched his head embarrassedly: "This little guy is a friend I met in the secret realm. Just now, he may have seen that I was in a bad mood and thought that you were bullying me, so he wanted to help me teach you a lesson... It was a misunderstanding, haha."

"Oh, your friends." Lu Jinchao took the grass spirit out of the pot, wiped it dry with a dishcloth, put it on Qiansui's head, and patted the two little guys: "Go play."

"Wait a minute, don't be busy meditating, were you preparing to cook just now?" Qiansui poked his head into the pot, and then flew to Lu Jinzhao's head and rubbed it: "I'm greedy, please give me cat food, I want a full-course meal!"

The grass elf was still waving its two vine hands and babbling. Qiansui quickly covered its mouth and said, "Shhh, shhh, stop scolding me. If you keep scolding me, I will be gone. What should I do? I don't want to be homeless!"

In Qiansui's opinion, it and Lu Jinchao were not quarreling, so there was no need to reconcile. Besides, they had to eat.

Lu Jinzhao: "What do you want to eat?"

Qiansui raised his cat paw: "Grilled fish!"

After a while, the aroma of food wafted away.

"What are you doing? Such a fragrant smell." Sui Guanxian suddenly appeared, with countless rare and exotic herbs floating above his head. "I just went to the southern continent to search and found a lot of good things. Kitty, come and help me identify them later."

Qiansui held a large grilled fish (chew chew chew) and subconsciously agreed: "Okay!" (chew chew chew)

"Why don't you put it in the storage bag?" Lu Jinzhao sprinkled spices on the grilled ribs, put them on a plate, and handed it to Sui Guanxian, "Try it."

Sui Guanxian shook his sleeves, and seven or eight bulging storage bags fell out. He stuffed them all into Lu Jinzhao's arms, along with all the flowers and plants floating in the air that fell to the ground and piled up into a small hill. "It's full, you take it."

Qiansui was shocked: "You robbed the southern continent?"

"We just swept through a few ignorant sects." She ate the ribs slowly, her pretty eyes narrowed, "This is some kind of beast meat, it tastes good."

"I don't know either. It looks like a yak." Lu Jinzhao picked up a piece of shrimp date and put it in his mouth. "I heard from my senior brother that the outer disciples will soon have the year-end assessment. Don't the disciples taught by the master need to take the assessment?"

Sui Guanxian glanced at him with a half-smile, "The enrollment of outer disciples is once a year. If you fail, you cannot continue your studies and must study again with the new disciples. It's different from you three."

"I understand." Qiansui tore off a piece of grilled fish and fed it to the grass spirit, and said casually: "It means that outer disciples can graduate after completing a certain number of years of study, but you guys have no upper limit and will never graduate."

"I remember that the content of the Jianfeng assessment is that you cannot use spiritual power, you must rely solely on sword moves to kill cross-level monsters." Sui Guanxian wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief elegantly. "If you find it interesting, I will ask them to postpone the end-of-year assessment, and take you back to participate when your body reaches adulthood. How about that?"

"...It seems like you guys are having a bit of a hard time dealing with the monsters. Although there are only a few dozen people in our sect, each of us has dozens or hundreds of monsters. Are the ones in the back mountain enough to kill? Didn't we catch them with great difficulty?" Qiansui muttered in a low voice.

Mantou crawled out from a pile of treasures with a grunt: "Who said we should kill the monsters in the back mountain of the sect? Those are important reserves of the beast peak's combat power! Besides, the assessment formulated by humans is naturally to fight against alien races, can it be against humans? If it was the master who formulated it, she would never design it with the lives of her own people!"

The weasel let Sui Guanxian slap it back into his sleeve. She glanced lazily at the depths of Wanqiu, "Why is it impossible? Only mermaids and tree monsters are my kindred spirits, not to mention that the beast tribes have been fighting and oppressing each other for a long time."

A little head that didn't believe in evil poked out from Sui Guan's sleeves: "Then we can only go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."

The so-called Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts, also known as the Sealed Boundary Mountain, is said to be where the remaining gods divided up their territories after the war of gods hundreds of thousands of years ago. They built mountains at the borders and set up barriers to prevent the continents from traveling with each other.

Then time passed quickly until 20,000 years ago, when a strong human was born, accidentally crossed the forbidden area, discovered that there is a world beyond the world, and summoned tens of thousands of human monks to build a large transmission point on the border of the two continents. This gradually allowed the four continents of east, west, south, and north to communicate with each other again.

After they explored the four continents, they found that in the middle of the four continents, there should be a central continent whose area is much larger than the sum of the four continents. However, the restrictions on crossing the central continent are difficult to break, and the monsters there are dozens of times more powerful.

In addition, the four continents once fought a war to annex each other, and in the end both sides suffered heavy losses, and had no choice but to sign a contract to reach peace. However, countless cultivators died, and many techniques and prescriptions were completely lost. Some of the remaining ones were only fragments, so that future generations could not make progress in cultivation. Therefore, it has been impossible to get in touch with the Central Continent until now.

Except for Sui Guanxian who shuttled back and forth between the five continents as if he was in an empty land.

Lu Jinzhao suddenly had an idea: "How about we resell the specialties among the five continents?"

"Yes! It's a huge advantage, why not take advantage of it?" Qiansui echoed, "Who can be more informed than merchants traveling around? We can make a fortune as middlemen while traveling to promote the sect and absorb disciples from the five continents. When we are familiar with each other, we can completely lift the restrictions. From now on, there will be no distinction between east, west, south, north and center. We will all be in the same place. How great. I estimate that within two hundred years, no one in this continent will practice Taoism and everyone will practice immortal cultivation. By then, the first batch of disciples who are supposed to ascend will ascend, and those who cannot ascend will stay to become elders and recruit disciples. The disciples will be spread all over the continent, and you two can go back to your own homes without worry. Perfect!"

Sui Guanxian tapped his chin with his fingertips and pondered for a while. "It sounds good. How about this, if more than 80% of the candidates pass the year-end assessment and less than 50% of the casualties are killed or injured, I will open five new teleportation arrays in the sect so that you can enter and exit the Five Continents at any time. How about that?"

Qiansui was stunned: "Why are you still estimating the 'casualties'? There are less than fifty disciples in the sect. Are you really willing to let those idiots die?"

"So what?" Sui Guanxian said frankly, "There are always people who die on the road of cultivation. If you ask around, you will find that even the big sects have a survival rate of less than half of the disciples who are sent out for training every year. Otherwise, why do you think the big sects recruit so many students every year?"

"When they join my sect, I provide them with the most advanced training methods, a robe with a life-saving charm for each person, and top-grade magical instruments and treasures that other sects' outer disciples can't even dream of. I can also restore them to their original state even if they come back with broken arms and legs. If they can die during training with such favorable conditions, then it is their fate."

"I know what you said is right..." Qiansui's cat ears drooped down, revealing a frustrated expression, "I just feel a little reluctant. After all, we have been together for almost a year, playing and fighting with them every day, and I have long regarded them as my friends."

"As a system, you are also an immortal. During your long life, you will lose friends and family repeatedly. Get used to it as soon as possible." After leaving these words, Sui Guanxian got up and went into his tent without saying anything more to them.

Lu Jinchao put away the Qiankun bags and flowers, and patted Qiansui's head: "It's late, go to rest."
