The scream from outside made everyone freeze for a moment, then they all ran out together.
In the courtyard was a young woman, not tall, about 1.6 meters, with big round eyes and a sweet, pretty appearance.
At this moment, she was stiffly confronting the enormous Iron-Eating Beast, her face pale with fear.
"Wenjun!"
"Little Junior Sister!"
Everyone immediately cried out in surprise and delight.
"Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister!" Lu Wenjun also cried out happily, then her face changed. "Run! There's an Iron-Eating Beast here!"
As soon as she shouted that, she saw the fierce and terrifying Iron-Eating Beast plop down on the ground, then somehow pull out a bamboo shoot from who knows where and stuff it straight into its mouth.
"Crunch crunch crunch…"
The rhythmic sound made Lu Wenjun go blank.
Qin Yiwei and Jiang Yunnuan quickly walked over and took her hand, "Don't be afraid, this is Senior Da Yanzi."
"Senior…Da Yanzi?"
Lu Wenjun was completely speechless. They were this familiar with each other? They even gave the Iron-Eating Beast a name?
"Moo~"
Lu Wenjun turned her head and met another pair of enormous eyes. She instinctively stepped back and almost fell.
"Careful!" Qin Yiwei and Jiang Yunnuan quickly supported her.
Lu Wenjun grabbed her two senior sisters' hands in return, completely dumbfounded, "Cow cow cow…"
"Yes, this is the Spotted Spirit Cow, Senior Ah Xiang."
"Huh?" Lu Wenjun's eyes nearly popped out.
"Awuu~"
Little Tiger Baby trotted over, curious about this unfamiliar young woman.
It even sniffed, as if it smelled something special.
"A tiger cub?!"
Lu Wenjun sucked in a sharp breath, "Where did this tiger cub come from?!"
This tiger cub looked newly born, small, fluffy, and especially cute.
But this is a spirit beast!
Where did it come from?!
Lu Wenjun was completely stunned.
"Ying!"
Where Little Tiger Baby was, Little Sesame was also usually there.
"A baby Iron-Eating Beast?!"
Lu Wenjun's dazed gaze moved back and forth between the big and small Iron-Eating Beasts. Her brain felt like it was burning.
"Moo~"
Ah Lang was a polite child and also came over to greet her.
Lu Wenjun: "..."
"Hiss hiss~"
"Yoyo~"
"Li——"
Lu Wenjun closed her eyes. After quite a while, she opened them again.
But everything in front of her remained unchanged. All the big and small spirit beasts were still there.
She rubbed her eyes and opened them again.
Still no change.
Then she forced out a well-behaved smile at everyone, "Sorry, I walked into the wrong place. I'll leave right away."
After saying that, she really turned and walked toward the outside.
But her stiff, same-hand-same-foot steps showed how great the shock she had received was.
"Hahaha…"
Seeing her silly appearance, the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
But this reaction was normal. After being away for so long, the changes here were indeed great.
If it was them, they would definitely have the same reaction.
"Alright, stop struggling. You didn't come to the wrong place, and you didn't recognize the wrong people."
Qin Yiwei stepped forward and pulled her back, "A lot has happened during this period of time. We'll tell you about it later."
Held by her Second Senior Sister, Lu Wenjun stopped. Her muddled mind gradually cleared.
Then she sucked in a sharp breath, "What the hell! What is going on?!"
Was this just a big change?
This was super huge, alright?!
When she left previously, the sect was poor and small, and everyone was extremely poor.
She really couldn't stand it anymore, so she went home to ask her father for some money, and also cancel that ridiculous engagement at the same time.
Why should she be bound by that messy engagement? She still had a vast world ahead of her!
And she also believed that her "fiancé", whom she had never met, would definitely agree to cancel the engagement.
But unexpectedly, when she brought it up, that fiancé was unwilling to cancel the engagement?!
What a joke!
She didn't believe she had such great charm that the other party would fall in love with her without ever meeting or getting to know her.
Of course, even if he liked her, it's useless. She didn't like him.
After a lot of trouble, the engagement was finally dissolved.
She could finally return to Wanxuan Sect.
But she hadn't expected that after being gone for a while, the changes here would be this big!
"How can there be so many spirit beasts here?!" Lu Wenjun looked at the big and small spirit beasts, on the ground and in the sky, and couldn't recover for a long time.
The changes were too much!
Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily turned toward the distance, where a pit had been dug and filled with quite a lot of water.
There wouldn't be spirit beasts in the water too, right?
Wouldn't that mean gathering sea, land, and air spirit beasts all together?
Qin Yiwei did not know what she was thinking and smiled, "This will have to be slowly explained to you."
Qin Yiwei looked her up and down, "You're fine, right?"
"I'm fine. What could happen to me?" Lu Wenjun shook her head, her gaze still unable to leave those spirit beasts. "I just thought I'd been gone for several years."
The impact was too great, she really couldn't fully accept it in a short time.
Jiang Yunnuan laughed, "If you came back any later, the changes might be even greater!"
Chu Jingzhuo and Meng Fanzé also came over, "Exactly, we've been waiting for you to come back."
"Where did you go? How did going home take so long?"
Hearing everyone's concerned words, Lu Wenjun's smile became even brighter.
Although Wanxuan Sect was small and poor, she got along happily with everyone and really liked them!
"Didn't I say I went home to handle something?"
"Is it settled?"
"Of course!" Lu Wenjun proudly lifted her chin. "If I couldn't settle it, I might have had to tear my house down!"
"As long as it's settled."
Lu Wenjun smiled, then asked in confusion, "Where is Eldest Senior Brother?"
"Eldest Senior Brother is resting in his room."
"Resting? What's wrong with Eldest Senior Brother?"
Lu Wenjun found it strange.
With Xin Jinrui's temperament, how could he be resting at a time like this?
"It's nothing serious. He just wasn't feeling well and is resting for a while."
Everyone didn't go into details either.
"Right, you haven't seen master yet."
Qin Yiwei pulled Lu Wenjun over.
"Master?"
Only then did Lu Wenjun remember that she also had a master.
"Greetings, master." Lu Wenjun greeted obediently. "I'm back."
Although she didn't have much contact with master, master was still master. She still understood the principle of respecting one's teacher.
"It's good that you're back." Mu Shiyue smiled at her.
It was also Mu Shiyue's first time meeting her youngest disciple.
It had to be said that her disciples all had highly attractive appearances, she was very satisfied.
Meeting Mu Shiyue's gaze, Lu Wenjun thought that perhaps she had been away too long, so her thoughts were a little confused.
Otherwise, why did she feel like master looked a bit different today?
She didn't have much feelings toward master, after all, it was Grandmaster and Grandmaster's wife who raised her.
"By the way, Grandmaster and Grand—"
"Little Junior Sister, do you want to drink tea? It's very good!" Everyone interrupted her and shifted the topic to something else.
"Drink tea?"
Lu Wenjun was completely confused. Wasn't that a bit too big of a topic jump?
Before she could react, she was pulled to the side.
Soon a cup of tea was placed in front of her. Without being on guard, she picked it up and took a sip, almost spitting it out from the bitterness.
But before she could spit it out, Qin Yiwei, who had been prepared, covered her mouth, and she could only swallow the tea.
Lu Wenjun's scalp almost exploded from the bitterness: "..."
Does everyone not welcome her return?
