Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Fengying's smile grew even gentler, filled with loving maternal affection. Even the viewing stone in her hand seemed to shimmer with a caring light.

--------------

"overtake!"

Chu Mingkong cursed with a pained expression on his face.

At this moment, the floating spaceship has already set off, flying high in the sky across the sea of ​​clouds, with cultivators riding cranes passing by from time to time.

Inside the spaceship, Zuo Qiuchi and Feng Ying sat on either side of Chu Mingkong, accompanying him to appreciate the wonderful moments in the viewing stone.

This scene is similar to the one when I accompanied my two mothers to appreciate the Guanying Stone.

"Mingkong baby, do you want Fengying's mom to bring you some pants to wear?" Fengying smiled from ear to ear.

Chu Mingkong gritted his teeth and took out his pants from his storage ring while cursing.

The time we came is different from the time we left; many things have changed unexpectedly.

Whether it's Xiling's connection or his pants.

What wasn't there when we arrived, we had when we left.

Chu Mingkong squatted down with a sigh, but then heard a "rip" sound, and the poor-quality pants tore open.

"I was wondering why something felt off; it turns out I had cracked."

The moon rises over Kunlun Mountain before dawn.

Chapter One: Yu Yu wants to see her older sister's white stockings.

The viewing stone was used as a pastime on the return journey. Feng Ying would bring it up to make fun of it from time to time. Even when Chu Mingkong wanted to cultivate with Feng Ying, she would suddenly blurt out, "Quickly call her mother," which would make Chu Mingkong very upset.

He was having a great time, even though it was Chu Mingkong's kind of thing, but the thought of the dark history in the viewing stone made him feel terrible.

Now, he was alone in his room, withdrawn and isolated. Chu Mingkong was thinking that he had to find something to distract himself, otherwise the images in the viewing stone would keep haunting his mind.

"How about I spend some of my filial piety money to buy a blind box? It's been a long time since I've done it... I'll wait until I'm richer before doing it. Getting a blue sky and white cloud now is even more upsetting!"

Chu Mingkong decided to temporarily suspend his blind box lottery plan for about half a day. After that, he felt better and immediately started drawing cards.

If you sell the goods, you don't lose money; if you don't, you're in a bad mood. You should quickly find a room to hide in and shut yourself off to avoid being further affected by that wicked woman, Fengying. It's like paying money to avoid trouble and temporarily avoid risk.

Either way, you're not at a loss!

"Oh right, I haven't even touched the bound paper scrolls from Tianya Tower yet!" Chu Mingkong slapped his forehead, remembering this, and muttered to himself, "I sent a message to Yunhan before, but I haven't received a reply yet. Could it be that the things haven't been delivered to Wenqing Pavilion yet?"

That's going to take a while. Even if it were courier, it would have been delivered by now. Send a message to see what's going on.

Chu Mingkong took out the book of notes, turned to the page of his sister Xiao Yunhan, thought for a moment, and then used his finger as a pen.

Have you received the stickers yet?

------------

In a temple built by mysterious forces, several stone statues stand facing each other, their imposing presence seemingly possessing boundless power. The masks they hold in their paws radiate a mysterious light.

Voices emanated from the mask, bringing together voices from all corners of the world.

"Lord Xuezhong, are you willing to take action regarding the matters of Liangzhou and Kunlun?"

"You have not yet fulfilled the promise you made to me."

"However, if we want to fulfill Lord Xuezhong's request, matters in these two places are indispensable..."

"I have something to attend to. You can continue your conversation without waiting for me."

The light of the mask immediately dimmed, leaving no chance for other voices to try and salvage it.

......

Shen Xuejun opened her eyes, a hint of doubt appearing in her calm expression, her cold and beautiful gaze fixed on the invitation-sized paper on the table.

A spiritual energy fluctuation came from above. Did someone contact her? Was Chu Mingkong trying to reach her?

This was the first time Shen Xuejun had used this paper note. Although she had learned the general idea from the instruction letter that Chu Mingkong had attached, she had never used it before.

She opened the new post, saw the words on it, and immediately wrote a reply.

The other party's response quickly appeared on the paper in Chu Mingkong's hand, and the booklet contained calm and indifferent handwriting.

【arrive.】

"They actually replied?! I knew it shouldn't be this slow," Chu Mingkong exclaimed in surprise. He had only given it a try.

Why didn't you respond to my messages before?

I didn't see any other words.

“I didn’t see any words. I remember sending a message, but Yunhan has no reason to lie to me. I guess she really didn’t see it.” Chu Mingkong scratched his head in confusion.

Could it be because the elders bound it, causing some kind of impact? But that doesn't make sense either, it was bound almost right before departure. Oh well, let's not dwell on it anymore, a response is a good thing.

Moreover, what Chu Mingkong feared most was that the chat would go awry.

"You didn't go into seclusion? I thought you'd go into seclusion as soon as you returned to the sect."

[I haven't gone into seclusion yet; there are other matters within the sect that require my attention. This item is quite wondrous, truly a marvel of design. Was it made using the communication stones from the Asking Love Pavilion?]

【right!】

Chu Mingkong explained to Xiao Yunhan how difficult it was to make paper stickers, but this was a topic that insiders understood but outsiders just wanted to watch. It was enough to just give a general overview; if he went into too much detail, Xiao Yunhan wouldn't understand.

That would have been awkward small talk, so Chu Mingkong didn't delve into it further and simply changed the subject.

To be honest, Chu Mingkong certainly wouldn't dare to ask too arrogant questions in front of his sister, but now that they were exchanging letters, he had become much bolder. He was quite curious to know if Xiao Yunhan would come after him if he asked any outrageous questions.

How about something a little more outrageous—check out Pi?

Chu Mingkong had only written the word "take a look" when he stopped. It seemed a bit presumptuous; he should proceed more gradually.

I want to see white stockings.

Where are you? Still in Xiling?

Is she planning to come and show this to him? Never mind, that wouldn't feel right.

Although so far this paper has only been used for text communication, it is not limited to text. Essentially, it transmits the content on the paper to the other party. While not everyone has supernatural abilities, it is still easy for cultivators to make a rubbing of the scene in front of them and then use their spiritual power to transfer it onto the paper. Even sound can be transmitted.

It's like "online chat" in this world. It seamlessly supported text, voice, and image transmission from the very beginning of its development, but sending short videos was a bit difficult.

Chu Mingkong explained to his sister how to send the "photos" and received a further reply.

[You're not wearing it right now. Should I come find you?]

That's really direct, isn't it? Just looking at a photo of white stockings turns into offline business, with them suddenly appearing all over the country, huh...?

Chu Mingkong had heard from Zuo Qiuchi that Xiao Yunhan was currently in a state of urgent need to go into seclusion to stabilize her realm and solidify her foundation, and he didn't want his sister to run back and forth.

However, if Yunhan really wanted to show him her beautiful legs in white stockings, Chu Mingkong would be too embarrassed to refuse and could only appreciate them tactfully.

Even though he had actually handled and played with it before, this long-lost way of appreciating it still excited Chu Mingkong.

"It's fine if you're not wearing it; I was just joking. You're taking it too seriously. I won't disturb you with your sect affairs any longer. Go into seclusion soon. But if you're worried about me wanting to see it, you can take a bath before you go into seclusion and change for me while you're at it, so as not to affect your concentration."

After saying goodbye, Chu Mingkong ended his chat with his sister and then wandered aimlessly through the notes, unsure of who to contact first.

As for the girls in the capital, Chu Mingkong wanted to give them a surprise and didn't want to contact them for the time being. He planned to suddenly appear and make them happy.

But Chu Mingkong wanted to know about the situation in the capital, so he asked Qingse. Qingse's Xianzhen Pavilion was mostly still around the capital and knew a lot about the situation there.

Since you're asking someone for a favor, you should be friendly, enthusiastic, sincere, and a little straightforward!

[Going shopping, are you there? Looking for some paisleys.]

-------------

On Shen Xuejun's side, after ending her conversation with her young apprentice, the aloof and beautiful woman inexplicably put away the note.

"Tianya Tower is truly remarkable. They actually managed to create such a tool using stones from my sect. It's a pity that Yunhan went into seclusion half a day too early, so the note Mingkong gave her couldn't be delivered."

But she was still a little puzzled: what was so special about those white socks that looked like trousers?

Why does Mingkong always like to watch this?

She took out the note again and wrote:

If you're really that curious about these socks, how about I wrap up several pairs and have someone deliver them to you so you can examine them closely at your leisure?

Chapter Two: Beware of Online Scams, Especially the Case of a Young Woman Deceiving a Young Boy Online

Sensing the arrival of a message, Chu Mingkong frantically flipped through the notes and saw his sister Xiao Yunhan's reply. He was caught in a heavy dilemma.

Would you consider this the original flavor...?

【This is inappropriate. If my master's wife finds out that I disturbed you like this before you went into seclusion, she will definitely not forgive me. Unless you insist on giving it to me, I will not accept it!】

Shen Xuejun was completely bewildered. Looking at her little apprentice's messages, she couldn't figure it out and muttered to herself:

"Could it be that he was just chatting with me, mistaking me for Yunhan the whole time?"

Shen Xuejun found the note that Xiao Yunhan hadn't been able to take to her seclusion. It contained Chu Mingkong's greeting asking if she had arrived yet.

This means that this novel gadget has encountered a small problem. Originally, Chu Mingkong was going to contact Yunhan, but it ended up affecting Shen Xuejun instead.

After a moment's hesitation, the voluptuous, aloof beauty of the pavilion extended her slender fingers and wrote a reply to the past.

Have you thought to send your regards to your teacher's wife?

On the other side, Qingse replied. Chu Mingkong was just about to have a heated exchange with her when his sister's reply came so quickly. After reading it, he fell silent for a moment.

My teacher's wife, Shen Xuejun... I don't really know how to interact with her. In terms of behavior, she is undoubtedly warm and kind, even a little too kind, but in terms of attitude, she is genuinely cold.

Now, besides asking her how effective the antidote for the aphrodisiac was and whether after-sales service was needed, Chu Mingkong couldn't find any other topics to talk about.

"No, I'm not quite sure how to interact with my master's wife yet. Please don't tell her this. I don't mean to imply that I think there's anything wrong with her, it's just that I haven't found the right way to treat her. So please convey my regards to my master's wife before you go into seclusion!"

Her sister replied very quickly; Chu Mingkong didn't have to wait long before a new message appeared on the page marked Xiao Yunhan:
