I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 948: By Your Side

Daji and the others all fell silent at Li Nianfan’s words. Their eyes were full of pain.

He dreamt that all of them left, and he was left alone.

He hinted at the traitors!

Li Nianfan was greatly impacted by the betrayal from the past lifetime. That was why he had that dream. He must have been incredibly sad when he was betrayed back then...

Daji immediately said, “Don’t worry. No matter what, we’ll always be by your side. We’ll never leave you alone.”

Fire Phoenix said firmly, “We’ll protect you!”

“Brother Li, I’ll protect you too!”

“Big brother, us too. We’ll protect you!” Nanan and Dragon hurriedly said.

“Yes, with all of you here, I’m not worried at all.”

Li Nianfan smiled as he ruffled Nanan and Dragin’s hair. He was really glad that he had so many people by his side. Looking at them next to him, Li Nianfan’s earlier frustrations were swept away as he felt at peace.

He waved, “Alright, alright. It’s late. You should all go to sleep.”

After saying that, he brought Daji and Fire Phoenix to sleep.

However, Shi Tuqin, Qin Manyun, Little Fox, Nanan, and Dragin all stood in the yard. When Li Nianfan went into the room, they glinted in their eyes.

Blackie slowly walked over with a thoughtful look, “Calamity is descending, and the corruption and traitors have reappeared. It’s causing Master to feel unsettled.”

Dragin could not help but ask, “Blackie, what should we do?”

“Let’s go ask the tortoise in the backyard. That guy has lived for a long time, and has plenty of ideas.” Blankie turned around and lead the way to the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, the Divine Years Tortoise waited for everyone with widened eyes.

The cows, peacocks, willow trees, and even the dragon all had serious expressions on their faces.

Dragin asked, “Divine Tortoise, what should we do?”

The tortoise said slowly, “This lifetime is a lot harder than the last because the expert’s situation is incredibly unique. He needs even more protection than the last lifetime, but we can’t just sit here waiting. There has to be people suppressing the gray mist!”

Qin Manyun’s expression sank as she said immediately, “We can go suppress the gray mist!”

“Difficult, very difficult.”

The tortoise shook its head as it said in a tone of sadness, “Wisdom is lacking right now, and the Unrivaled is among the traitors. Only Daji, Fire Phoenix, and Little Fox have become supreme beings among you. Daji and Fire Phoenix needs to be by the expert’s side. With your skills, you won’t be able to suppress the gray mist or handle the traitors.”

Blackie could not help but say, “Woof woof, then what do you think we should do? Why don’t you do something?”

“I can’t leave either,” the tortoise shook its head as it said slowly, “everything under the heavens has its natural enemy and allies. Wisdom is in trouble, and the gray mist is bringing calamity into the world. The expert was born to meet the disaster, so the way to solve it is next to him. All of you have to figure it out!”

Nanan’s eyebrows raise, “What do you mean? Can you make it simpler?”

Yet, the tortoise shut its eyes, no longer speaking.

“This old tortoise is always like this. He always acts like he’s dead after dropping a riddle,” The dragon could not help but say.

Dragin asked, “Do you know what the tortoise meant?”

The dragon shook his head, “It said that the solution is by the expert’s side, so it should be referring to the residence, but who knows what it is? He didn’t even give us any hints, how do we even start?”

Shi Tuqin said thoughtfully, “I remember now. Everytime there was a problem before, something from the residence has solved it. Even the flames of Wisdom were reignited by the expert’s oil!”

“If that’s the case, then the expert should have various divine objects that can help suppress the chaos. However, there are so many things here. Where do we even begin to look?” Qin Manyun had a bitter look on her face.

Little Fox said, “Since we don’t know what to pick, then we should just bring a bit of everything. There should be something useful in the end!”

They started to move immediately, starting from the soil in the backyard. They dug up soil, filled up water, chopped off branches, and picked some leaves. They did not even forget to get eggs and milk. If they could have brought the stone tables and benches with them, they would have done so.

Shi Tuqin said in concern, “Will the expert blame us if we do that?”

“It’s fine, if the expert asks, I’ll say the beast in the pond did it. I’ll have master make some soup out of Old Dragon,” Blackie thought about everything.

Old Dragon was immediately angry, “Stupid dog, you’re slandering me. Have you been planning on making soup with me for a long time already?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

“I want to eat dog meat. Braised dog meat is amazing.”

“Woof woof!”

Blackie jumped right into the pond, biting the dragon.

Old Dragon refused to show any weakness as it bit back at Blackie’s tail. The two of them bit each other, causing waves in the pond.

“Let go!”

“You let go first!”

“How can I let go if you don’t?”

“Right back at you!”

...

Everyone rolled their eyes, ignoring the dog and dragon as they continued to look for things they could bring away.

After they had everything, the two finally let go under everyone’s advice. After that, everyone walked out of the residence, determined to suppress the chaos.

The next day, Li Nianfan was stunned when he came out of his room.

What happened? Why was it completely clean? Were they robbed?

The courtyard was completely spotless. For some reason, he even felt like the roof was lacking a few tiles...

However, he noticed after walking around that the things that were missing were all insignificant things. Even the trash he piled up was all cleaned...

After that, he noticed a problem, “That’s right, where’s Nanan and the others?”

Daji smiled and said, “They should have gone out to kill demons and defend Wisdom.”

Li Nianfan was stunned, “Why did they suddenly decide to do that?”

Fire Phoenix said, “It’s because of your dream yesterday. Since you’re worried about the dangers outside, they wanted to get rid of the evil outside. Then you won’t have to worry.”

“So, that’s what happened...”

Li Nianfan could not help but feel touched. He felt a surge of comfortable warmth in his heart.

“They didn’t need to do that. Their safety is just as important. They didn’t even say anything before they left. They even cleaned up the place first!”
