Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 484: Requesting the Sect Leader’s Judgment

The morning mist at Gazing Star Cliff had not yet dispersed.

Inside the cave dwelling, the cold light from the night pearls reflected off the stone walls, and a few lingering traces of muddy earth still clung to the floor. That was the smell brought back from the spiritual field just now — damp, chaotic, mixed with the bitter aroma of crushed herbs; the scent alone made the chest feel tight.

Shadow huddled by the stone table, already mostly cleaned by Su Ming’s spiritual energy. Only a few broken down-feathers still stood up stiffly, making it look more and more like a little soldier who had just lost a battle yet stubbornly refused to admit defeat.

Su Ming sat on the stone stool, head bowed as he wiped the mud from beneath its wings.

“Don’t move.”

Shadow twisted its body in defiance, emitting a low “chu” from its throat, as if protesting.

“You still acting wronged?” Su Ming glanced at it, then with a fingertip let a dab of water spiritual energy spread and remove the last bit of grime. “I told you to charge and fight head-on, but you went your own way. Now you feel pain?”

Shadow tilted its head away, refusing to look at him.

Clearly guilty.

Inside his Consciousness Sea, Lin Yu snorted coldly, “This little thing may be tough-boned, but its brains still need work. Ancient breeds are decent, but even if it were more ancient, right now it’s still a cub that hasn’t finished growing feathers.”Su Ming hummed in agreement, not replying.

He rose and walked to the wooden rack, scanning the row of robes with his eyes. In the end he did not choose his usual gray tunic, but took down the purple Daoist robe reserved for True Disciples.

The fabric felt slightly cool to the touch, the hem’s subtle patterns faintly emitting spiritual radiance in the morning light.

Holding the robe, Su Ming stood quietly for two breaths.

He usually kept a low profile if he could — never wanting the four words “Formation Peak True Disciple” displayed on his face unless necessary. But today was different. He was not going to the market, nor the Administration Hall; he was going to the Sect Leader’s Peak.

And — he was going to lodge a complaint.

To complain about the white crane the Sect Leader raised.
