Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1053 - 1049: The Junior Master Who Knows Nothing of Life’s Hardships

Chapter 1053: Chapter 1049: The Junior Master Who Knows Nothing of Life’s Hardships

With the Junior Master here, Xin Fu was no longer so worried about the safety of Qingfeng Temple. He could spare some time to study the Eight Diagrams Mirror in his hand.

Returning to his own residence, Xin Fu looked around at the still clean and tidy room, and warmth instantly welled up in his heart.

The feeling that no matter how far he traveled or how long he was gone, there was always a place for him here, was truly wonderful.

Unhurriedly, Xin Fu took a bath and meticulously tidied himself up.

He then sat on the sofa and took out the Eight Diagrams Mirror given to him by Huaiyi True Master earlier.

Just looking at it like this, the Eight Diagrams Mirror did not seem to be anything special.

However, Xin Fu was certain that this Eight Diagrams Mirror was definitely not ordinary.

Thinking this, Xin Fu reached out and grabbed a Magic Artifact, something he had acquired from an Evil Cultivator who attempted to seize their talisman papers.

Xin Fu forcefully smashed that Magic Artifact against the Eight Diagrams Mirror.

The Eight Diagrams Mirror remained intact, while the Magic Artifact in his hand shattered into several pieces.

Xin Fu: ...

If he hadn’t used this Magic Artifact before, he might have truly thought it was just an ornament.

Xin Fu’s eyes glowed brightly as he looked at the Eight Diagrams Mirror in his hand, he wasn’t wrong, this item was indeed exceptional.

"Such a level of Magic Artifact; in other families, it wouldn’t be available to anyone other than the core Direct Lineage."

At this moment, Xin Fu felt even more that his initial choice to follow the temple master was a blessing from his ancestors.

After putting away the Eight Diagrams Mirror, Xin Fu changed into clean clothes and planned to go down the mountain.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a knock at the door.

Opening the door, he saw someone dressed in the uniform of Qingfeng Temple, carrying a food box at the doorstep.

"Second Steward, these are meals specially prepared for you by the kitchen."

The man spoke while lifting the lid of the food box.

Leaning closer, Xin Fu smelled the aroma of the food mixed with a faint scent of medicinal herbs.

"What is this?"

When he returned, he hadn’t avoided people, so it wasn’t surprising that those in the kitchen of Qingfeng Temple knew he was back.

However, he felt that this food seemed not quite like it was meant for him.

Facing Xin Fu’s confusion, the man explained with a smile, "These are medicinal materials selected by Huaiyi True Master from the temple master’s storeroom.

This is your portion, which is particularly effective for treating hidden injuries in the body, and very useful for strengthening tendons and bones."

What the man didn’t say was that Huaiyi True Master could immediately see that all of them had retired from the battlefield.

Each of them had some hidden injuries that could not heal.

This was why special medicinal prescriptions were provided to target their hidden injuries for adjustment.

They had only been taking it for a few days, yet their lingering ailments were noticeably being managed.

In the past, they were loyal to Qingfeng Temple for the generous rewards.

But now, they truly considered Qingfeng Temple their home.

Xin Fu paused for a moment, then took the food box from the man’s hand.

"Alright, I understand. You may go now."

After the man left, Xin Fu set the food from the box on the stone table in his small courtyard.

There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Then he gradually ate all the food, leaving nothing behind.

The miscellaneous workers at Qingfeng Temple were not Xuan Sect people; even though they felt their bodies improving bit by bit,

their perception was still much duller compared to Xin Fu.

At this moment, Xin Fu clearly felt the medicinal power entering his body.

The medicinal effects melded into his bloodstream and quickly spread throughout his body.

His hidden injuries were not too severe; after all, he was young and quite powerful, so even if injured, the injuries weren’t fatal.

Thus, in just one meal, the medicinal effects wrapped around his hidden injuries, helping them to heal positively.

Thinking back to how he’d spent a lot of favors and money without completely healing his injuries, he pondered:

This is the difference between Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and ordinary medicinal materials?

"No wonder those Mystical Sect families and grand clans tightly control the extraction and sale of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; the healing effects are simply astounding!"

After satisfying his hunger, Xin Fu quickly went down the mountain again.

With the Mountain Protection Array in place and Huaiyi True Master stationed within Qingfeng Temple, he no longer needed to worry as much.

He could fully dedicate himself to investigating who was so insidious as to instigate so many people against Qingfeng Temple!

Once he caught the person responsible, he resolved to peel off their skin!

Yun Ran had no idea that the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures she painstakingly collected (and extorted).

Were being scattered by her Junior Master, who had no regard for their cost.

She was still drenched in sweat, walking a long way before finding a pool of water.

"Master, I’ll check it out first!"

The Little Paperman was afraid that the pool might be unclean and have some untoward things inside.

Before Yun Ran’s ears could stop ringing with the voice of the Little Paperman, she saw it plunge into the water with a ’plop’.

Soon, the Little Paperman surfaced with a few venomous snakes it had caught inside.

"Master, it’s safe now~"

With that, the Little Paperman flicked its hand, sending the snakes flying in a parabola far away.

The venomous snakes, thinking their lives were forfeit, were surprised when they were merely thrown far away.

The snakes that narrowly escaped slithered into the grass quickly, disappearing out of sight.

Yun Ran let down her hair and jumped into the water.

The Little Paperman diligently stood guard at the entrance, not allowing anyone or anything to approach.

Even a few birds that tried to fly in were shooed away by the Little Paperman.

"Humph, nobody should think of interrupting my master’s bath!"

Just as the Little Paperman finished speaking, some noise came from not far away.

Its tiny eyes instantly widened as it pulled a nearby leaf to shield itself.

Against snakes, insects, rats, and bugs, the Little Paperman didn’t need to hide itself.

But facing humans, it couldn’t easily expose its existence, since it was its master’s trump card.

As the noise came closer, the Little Paperman finally saw clearly.

About two kilometers away from the water pool, seven or eight people were walking toward this side.

Each of them carried a large basket on their back, seemingly filled with various items.
