Chapter Twenty: Lending a Hand
irs of my Wentianzong. At that time, it won't be me you offend, but my entire Wentianzong!""Hmph, unless they want to provoke a war between the Daoist sects, they certainly wouldn't dare act recklessl..."I understand! I understand!"
When Ginger Cloud was startled, he immediately nodded repeatedly. He truly understood his second senior sister's meaning. Obviously, his guess about the reason for his second senior sister's retreat was correct...
But he immediately added, "But Master Brother said that only outer disciples can enter the library, and I'm just a handyman disciple. I can't get in at all."
"Second Senior Sister's lips twitched slightly as she said, 'If you want to find the secrets of cultivation or techniques, it is indeed necessary to be an outer disciple. But if you just want to know some basic knowledge about the Dao, all disciples can go! The reason why Big Brother said that like that, you should understand!'
Ginger suddenly realized, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed again. "Thank you, second senior sister, for your guidance!"
Second Senior Sister glanced at Ginger Cloud and said, "No need! However, if you go to the Scripture Pavilion, you must change into the robes issued by the sect."
Even now, Jiang Yun still wears that fur garment, reluctant to take it off. However, he also understands that the gray clothes issued by the sect represent the identity of a handyman disciple.
After returning home, Ginger Cloud still hadn't taken off the animal skin. Instead, he put his clothes on over it. Growing up this big, this was the first time he had ever worn clothes made of fabric. He felt awkward all over.
But he didn't care about much else. After getting dressed, he immediately left the courtyard again, went down from Cángfēng, and walked towards the library.
He'd had a long-standing problem he wanted to ask Dongfang Bo about, but now, he decided to go to the library first and try to find the answer himself.
The library is located at the foot of Jian Dao Peak, the main peak. Although Jiang Yun had been taken around by Dong Fangbo in Wen Dao Sect last time, he was like a dreamer back then and didn't remember the way at all, so now he could only ask someone for directions.
Fortunately, when he asked around within the sect, he saw people everywhere. Most of them wore gray servant robes similar to Jiang Yun's. As for Jiang Yun's appearance, they didn't pay any attention to him. After all, there were tens of thousands of handyman disciples in the sect, and it was impossible for them to know each other personally.
Jian Yun walked while observing her surroundings, her mind racing.
The clothing of the errand disciples is uniform, but after becoming an inner or outer disciple, the distinguishing mark is the token hanging from their waist. Outer disciples are blue, and inner disciples are gold! The shape of the token represents the different peaks they belong to.
In this way, after spending more than an hour, Jiang Yun finally arrived at the foot of Jian Dao Peak and saw a magnificent seven-story building standing at the foot of the mountain - the Library Pavilion!
Ginger Cloud did not rush into the Scripture Pavilion, but instead raised his head and cast his gaze towards Jian Dao Peak!
As the main peak of Wudao, Jian Dao Feng is naturally also the most central part of the entire Wudao Sect.
Although Jiang Yun had seen Jian Dao Feng before, standing at the foot of the mountain this time, looking up at it again, he could clearly feel a powerful pressure and an extremely sharp aura emanating from the entire mountain peak, causing him to tremble from the bottom of his heart.
To Jiang Yun's feeling, this mountain peak, just like its name, was a giant sword thrust straight into the heavens.
The peak was so high that it seemed to disappear into the clouds. A shroud of mist enveloped the upper half of the mountain, and occasionally streaks of rainbow light flashed through it.
"Those rainbows must be disciples of the Sky-Soaring Sect. Only those in the Fortunate Land Realm can fly! One day, I will enter the Fortunate Land Realm too!"
After staring at Jian Dao Feng for a long time, Jiang Yun finally withdrew his gaze and strode towards the library.
As the only place in the entire Wudao Sect where anyone could come, the Sutra Pavilion was surrounded by a large crowd of people. Some were alone, while others gathered in groups of three or five. The entrance was bustling with people, making it extremely lively.
Just as Jiang Yun was about to enter the library, a sudden cry from a girl reached his ears, causing him to turn his head and follow the sound.
About ten paces away from him, a crowd of people had gathered, and the cries came from within their midst. However, through the throng, it was impossible to see what was happening inside.
Through the crack, Ginger Cloud saw a weeping girl, no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
Seeing this little girl, Ginger Cloud's heart moved instantly. She remembered that this was one of the few people she had noticed outside the Question Dao Sect back then.
Because this little girl emanated a peculiar aura, and her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Yue, Jiang Yun had a particularly vivid impression of her.
Even Ginger Cloud remembers that the little girl had only passed the Spirit Gate and was taken in as a handyman disciple, unaware of which mountain peak she had been assigned to.
If it were someone else crying there, Ginger Cloud probably wouldn't have bothered. But seeing this little girl, Ginger Cloud couldn't help but think of Ginger Yue Rou. So after hesitating for a moment, he finally took a step forward.
Standing outside the crowd, listening to the murmurs of the people around him, Jiang Yun gradually understood why the little girl was crying.
Originally, this girl was assigned to Baishou Peak as a handyman disciple, responsible for raising a ferocious beast, the Qingguang Wolf. It wasn't anything major, but yesterday an outer sect disciple gave her a 20-year-old Qingguang Wolf and told her to take good care of it for two days.
She did indeed responsibly place the blue wolf in a separate cage, but who would have thought that when they woke up in the morning, they'd find the cage lock had been bitten through, causing the blue wolf to escape and mingle with the other blue wolves, making it impossible to distinguish them.
Tomorrow, that outer gate disciple is coming to reclaim the Azure Light Wolf. If she can't hand it over by then, we'll be in trouble.
Actually, this kind of thing can be big or small. It's just that the girl is too young and naturally timid, so she was frightened out of her wits. As a handyman disciple, she had no way to deal with it, so she could only come to the vicinity of this library to seek help.
However, even though the people around her sympathized with her, they were all helpless. After all, judging the age of a fierce beast was something that only the inner and outer disciples of the Beast Peak could do, and where would the inner and outer disciples have the time to help a lowly handyman
After understanding the situation, Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head, then walked away from the crowd and stood before the little girl. "Don't cry," he said, "I'll help you find that Qingguang Wolf!"
As soon as she heard this, the little girl stopped crying immediately. She quickly raised her head, looked at Jiang Yun with tearful eyes, and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brother, you can really help me"
The crowd was also slightly stunned. They didn't expect that someone would actually stand up to help. However, when they saw the clothes Ginger Cloud was wearing, their faces immediately showed suspicion.

How could a lowly errand boy possibly determine the age of a beast
However, Jiang Yun ignored everyone's reactions and nodded, saying: "Of course it is true!"
"That's great!" Getting a positive answer from Jiang Yun, the little girl burst into laughter and grabbed Jiang Yun's arm. "Senior brother, if you don't have anything else to do, can you help me find that Qingguang wolf now"
"Sure!"
So, under everyone's gaze, Jiang Yun was dragged out of the crowd by the little girl and walked towards Baishou Peak.
Neither Jiang Yun nor the little girl noticed that after they left, a short, stout man in gray clothes frowned among the crowd and growled, "Where did this servant come from A dog poking its nose where it doesn't belong. No, I have to follow him and see what he's up to. If he messes with Senior Sister Fang's plans, blame will fall on me later, that wouldn't be good!"r the surprise, Ginger Cloud's heart sank again and she said, "Senior, are my parents' safety related to grandfather becoming an Emperor"In Jiang Yun's opinion, it was possible that his grandfather, r...
