Unfilial disciple, do not ruin your master's dream of ascension and peaceful life.

After ascending to heaven, Fairy Ye Yinqiu was nearly killed by a truck and then caught by traffic police as a stray dog. No wonder she was so angry when she recalled these events.

"I'm sorry, Master. I've disgraced you. I couldn't capture the celestial beasts, nor could I defeat the celestial enforcers. My equipment was also confiscated. Waaah..."

Seeing her long face, Qianjing asked Lin Zhiyu curiously:

"Old Lin, didn't you ask her these questions when you helped her get her visa?"

"I was so busy that as soon as I finally got things sorted out, she immediately went to confront you."

"How did she know where to ambush me?"

"I told her."

"...Alright, just one question: what about the two real culprits I reported to you about yesterday? Are you investigating them?"

"I was out collecting CCTV footage until an hour ago. Now I've compiled all the information and sent it to my superiors. I'm waiting for instructions... But you! Don't cause such a huge disruption all of a sudden. I had to intervene extensively in the public's collective understanding to get by!"

"You're blaming me now..."

Qian Jing unceremoniously took out a bottle of 1982 red wine from the principal's private freezer, plopped down on the guest sofa, took a big gulp, and then threw the next question at her foolish apprentice:

Why would you suddenly decide to rob a museum?

"Is that called a 'museum'? I went there because..."

Xiao Qiu's Journey to Find a Teacher, Part Three:

That night, Ye Yinqiu ran under the moonlight, weaving through the bustling traffic.

"Aren't you watching where you're going?!" "You want to die if you run a red light?!" "Get lost!"

The curses continued, but she couldn't stop. She had been running for almost an hour since she escaped from the place called "police station" in the chaos, and she didn't know if the immortal pursuers were still chasing her.

The last time she encountered a similar situation was when she was surrounded and intercepted by countless giant monsters of the Light Energy Clan in the Flood Sea. Exhausted, she could only barely survive by burning her life essence.

But this time it's even worse.

Countless attempts to mobilize spiritual energy and countless efforts to condense true qi have rendered her divine skills from the mortal realm completely ineffective. Now, aside from a slightly stronger physique, she is no different from an ordinary mortal. Forget those earth-shattering supernatural abilities, she can't even use the most basic techniques like creating fireballs, iceballs, or riding the wind. The dignified Fairy of Rainbow Robes can't even walk on air? What a joke!

She had lived in her hometown for two hundred years, most of which she moved by walking on air (mainly for show), but now she had to run on her own feet in cloth shoes. The shoes she wore were woven from celestial silkworm silk, a peerless magical treasure in the mortal realm, but now they were like ordinary cloth shoes—even worse in quality, because the material was so thin and soft! The soles of her feet were already blistered and raw from the pebbles and twigs on the road!

Worse still, all her equipment was taken away by the enforcers of the upper realm—especially the precious sword bestowed upon her by her master, personally given by the Holy Venerable Qianjing! A divine weapon capable of cleaving the heavens! Gone just like that! How could she face her master in this state?

"Master, where are you... Waaaaaah..."

Ye Yinqiu didn't know how long she had been running. She was dizzy and her chest felt like it was being torn apart. Her heart was pounding against her ribs. Nearly two hundred years later, she was experiencing the physical fatigue that only mortals experience.

Now she was finally away from the wide road where steel monsters galloped, away from the noisy crowds, and into a large green space far from the highway. In her mind, this was probably a park—and it was pretty much, a typical city park.

It was late, most of the people taking a walk had already gone home, and the streetlights were getting dimmer. She took advantage of the darkness to hide in the green belt of the park.

Only now has she been able to let her exhausted body rest for the first time.

My clothes are all torn.

His face was also dirty.

Even the proud number one jailer of the Cangxuan Realm had his flesh cut open.

"Master...where are you...sigh..."

Just as Qianjing was unaware that her disciple was so close, and her disciple was unaware that her beloved master was just across the street from the park, the two just missed each other. Oh dear, oh dear.

"...Hmm? My stomach..."

Her stomach growled unpleasantly. She had been fasting for almost two hundred years and had long forgotten what hunger felt like.

She sneaked out of the green belt and walked along the park path, looking at the road signs, wondering where she was now.

"...What is it written?"

The dignified Fairy Ni Chang became illiterate upon arriving in the Celestial Realm, unable to understand the Celestial Realm's writing system at all.

After wandering around the park for ages, she finally found some half-eaten food that the upper-world beings had thrown away in a trash can. It was a dish she'd never seen before: two slices of bread sandwiching a vegetable leaf and a meat patty. Desperate to fill her stomach, she fought off the stray cats and dogs swarming around the trash can, but to no avail. The stinky cat had already snatched the hamburger away.

The dignified fairy in her flowing robes had to fight with cats and dogs for scraps of food in the celestial realm, and she even lost!

After wandering around for a while, she arrived at the park entrance. Confirming that the law enforcement officers from the upper realm weren't following her, she entered a building marked "Lawson 24-Hour Convenience Store." The cashier was dozing behind the counter. Once she was sure no one was watching, she sneaked behind the shelves and snatched a bag of the only food she recognized—frozen buns—from some kind of humming, chilling contraption (commonly known as a freezer). She devoured them without a second thought, not caring that the buns were cold and hard.

Just then, she noticed two men standing outside the convenience store. Although their backs were to her, her keen insight honed in the lower realm told her that these two were no ordinary people.

One was dressed in neat casual clothes, with a natural demeanor, holding a cigarette roll (commonly known as a paper cigarette) in his left hand and a red-packaged metal can (cola) in his right hand; the other was bald, wearing a jacket and vest, with exposed muscular arms covered in tattoos.

"...I know you find this boring...but was it really necessary to kill that family?...Don't be so conspicuous..."

"Haha... Don't you think it was spectacular when they exploded? Look at those fresh, tender internal organs... Besides..."

Ye Yinqiu could vaguely hear their chatter, which sounded rather ominous. She tucked the frozen buns into her bosom and tiptoed a few steps closer.

"We're here to find something, not to kill people. Killing mortals is pointless."

"Let's have some fun, why are we being so serious? By the way, taking something should be—"

"The Haijing City History Museum will be exhibiting tomorrow. It'll probably be a box. I'll head home today."

"Hey~? Let's rip off a few more people, that's a new idea I just came up with."

"Let's keep a low profile."

At this point, the two men put out their cigarettes and left.

Ye Yinqiu peeked out from behind the shelf, watching their departing figures, recalling the information she had just heard.

These two are definitely not easy to deal with.

Furthermore, what does the "box" they mentioned at the "Haijing City History Museum" refer to? Could it be some kind of celestial treasure?

Thinking of this, Ye Yinqiu's underlying code as a cultivator was activated. Seizing treasures and resources was a daily routine for cultivators. Although she didn't know exactly what they were talking about, if she could get her hands on them, it would be a valuable asset.

(Let's go check it out tomorrow and take a gamble!)

"—That's what I was thinking at the time. If I wanted to establish myself in the Immortal Realm, I needed to have something to rely on... So I went to try my luck, but the jade box didn't react at all."

Ye Yinqiu said this.

Lin Zhiyu frowned; this was the first time they had heard any useful information from their foolish apprentice.
