"I'm sorry, this was my idea. I insisted on dragging them over to take a look..."
"It wasn't her, it was me. I suggested it."
"..."
Several people argued with each other, wanting to take responsibility, and Jiang Wen found the scene rather amusing. He hadn't expected to see such a scene after being away from school for so many years, and it made him feel somewhat nostalgic.
The college students naturally didn't know what Jiang Wen was thinking. They looked at the serene Daoist Master standing not far away, and they all felt a little flustered.
The girls were all particularly scared, and the boys were not far behind. Just when they had circled around dozens of times and felt somewhat hopeless, people from the Daoist temple came and took them to a warm place.
The students looked at this lush green land, which was not affected by the winter at all.
Flowers and green grass flourished everywhere, and there were even many exotic plants and creatures that the students had never seen before. What shocked them the most was the towering tree in the distance, which was so huge that all fear was dispelled by the shock.
The giant tree was like a tall tower, reaching straight into the clouds and disappearing from sight. Looking up, they could see faint, sparkling, ghostly blue light, as dazzling as stars.
On the giant tree, there were densely packed wooden houses. These were houses naturally woven from the roots of the tree. They were not only exquisite and beautiful, but also blended perfectly into the natural scenery.
The students thought they had accidentally entered another world in such a dreamlike scene.
When they saw the densely packed white-haired foxes sitting on the high platform, this feeling became even stronger.
As expected, this Daoist temple is extraordinary. Several people thought to themselves.
Then they saw Shen Yueshu walking over with a slight frown. She looked at everyone, still feeling a little angry.
After all, these classmates were brought by her, and she had always treated them as friends. But why didn't they listen to her warnings and insisted on doing such a thing? It also made her lose a lot of face in front of Jiang Wen.
She had confidently said that her classmates would abide by the rules and would not run around.
The classmates were very happy to see Shen Yueshu, which meant that it was safe here. But when they saw Shen Yueshu's expression, everyone realized that they had broken the rules, and they honestly admitted their mistakes.
"Oh well, it's okay. The Daoist Master even allowed you to visit." Shen Yueshu couldn't continue to pursue the matter, so she could only comfort her friends and let them relax and watch the Sky Fox Ceremony of the White Fox Clan.

The students obediently found corners to sit down, and Jiang Wen, who was on the altar, didn't pay much attention to it. After all, as far as he was concerned, it didn't matter whether they watched or not. When the time came, he would just have Bai Jing erase their memories.
He looked at Bai Jing, who was standing in the center of the altar, wearing gorgeous clothes. At this moment, she was dancing gracefully along the strange altar.
Her posture was graceful and her dance was moving. The bells hanging on her hands and feet made pleasant sounds as she moved.
Dancing along the altar, countless little foxes would follow and whine with each movement. This was an ancient ritual, a ritual in which the White Fox Clan prayed to their ancient ancestors.
At the end of the ritual, Bai Jing respectfully lay on the ground. She held a pile of indescribable objects and placed them on the altar.
The words she spoke were incomprehensible. Jiang Wen understood that it was the ancient language unique to the White Fox Clan.
It was said that this language was once able to reach the sky above and the underworld below. But later, as myths faded, this language was only used during sacrifices.
Bai Jing placed Chi Yao's internal organs on the sacrificial altar. She prayed respectfully, and vaguely, it seemed as if something was watching.
"This servant feels it." Bai Jing was shocked and quickly said softly to Jiang Wen. "The ancestors are watching over the White Fox Clan."
"Concentrate on performing the ritual." Jiang Wen didn't say anything. He had already felt a gaze crossing time and space from the void. It was a gaze that crossed countless worlds and spanned boundless distances. This was definitely not something that a Dao Palace or a Saint of the Sendai could do, and even a higher realm might not be able to reach this level.
Jiang Wen had only felt this vast and sacred aura on the giant dragon beneath the Joyful Workshop.
Jiang Wen suddenly had an idea in his mind. He looked at the Daoist temple not far away. His consciousness then flew into the statue of the Dao Ancestor in the Sanqing Hall of the Daoist temple.
At this moment, the world suddenly became clear, as if everything in the world was within his insight. Even three thousand miles outside Jingxu Mountain, he could see everything at a glance. Even the distant overseas countries could feel the existence of the Jingxu Shrine.
Jiang Wen had also experienced this feeling of overlooking all living beings and being detached from the outside world once during the day, when he preached on the statue during the Tianluo Grand Ceremony. At that time, he had not expected the effect to be so good.
This made Jiang Wen have a deeper understanding of the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the Sanqing Hall. He suspected that these three Heavenly Venerate statues had become some kind of magical artifact to guard the Daoist temple.
Regardless of Jiang Wen's calculations, after he possessed the statue, he turned his gaze to the Sky Fox Ceremony not far away.
When Bai Jing's prayer ended, endless fireflies flickered around the altar. They all seemed like starlight, flying towards the sacrifices on the altar, and then became brighter and brighter, finally illuminating everything around them.
At that moment, Jiang Wen felt above the atmosphere, even in the universe, there was vaguely an illusion looking down at the earth. It seemed to be able to control the stars and exist everywhere in the universe.
It responded to the prayers of the White Fox Clan, dropping something onto the altar.
Jiang Wen was very curious about it and tried his best to look up.
He saw a pair of huge eyes in the dark night sky, merging into the night sky. It hung in the sky, its golden pupils incomparably sacred. After looking at Jiang Wen for a moment, the eyes disappeared quietly.
Only one sentence was left, echoing in Jiang Wen's heart.
"I hope that the Immortal will take care of us."
