Chapter 95: Junior Sister Will Accompany You to Kill Them All

Within the sect.

A month later, Ning Qianqian and Ning Kun had moved into the guest quarters.

As materials were finally used up and the grand hall was at least able to block wind and rain, the construction could be considered roughly complete.

Fish swam in the pond, and whenever Ning Qianqian had free time, she would spend it leisurely fishing.

Ning Kun, on the other hand, busied himself by planning future structures, walking around the undeveloped parts of the sect each day deep in thought.

From time to time, he would report his plans to Chu Xingchen whenever the latter had a free moment.

Once everyone else cleared the site, the Spirit Gathering Formation was officially activated.

It had to be said, though the system was stingy, the items it provided were undeniably good.

After activation, the density of spiritual energy instantly rose by several levels.

Li Yingling, who was the most sensitive to spiritual energy, spent the first two days constantly taking deep breaths and exhaling with great satisfaction.

She looked exactly like someone addicted to smoking.

That scene made Chu Xingchen feel a bit nostalgic.

Li Yingling also resumed the cultivation she had paused for some time. As expected of a cultivation prodigy, her progress was astonishing.

Even Li Xingtian was left dumbfounded watching her.

Chen Baiqing was still young but very well-behaved. She required little attention, usually reading quietly by the pond whenever she tired of cultivation.

She looked serene and elegant, completely unlike the bewitching demoness she was destined to become.

However, today was an important day.

Li Xingtian was preparing to break through the Late Foundation Establishment stage and step into the Golden Core Realm.

His cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast—worthy indeed of being the system’s chosen immortal seedling.

But it was also reasonable.

The Blood Qi Spirit Stone matched his cultivation perfectly, and he had been practicing diligently without rest for a long time.

Combined with his past life’s cultivation experience, it was only natural that he was now ready to attempt the Golden Core Realm.

Chu Xingchen spoke sincerely, ”Let your master refine a pill for you to aid your breakthrough.”

Li Xingtian’s expression was equally sincere.

”Master, I’ve done this before. I can handle it myself.”

Chu Xingchen sighed, understanding well that his disciple had no faith in his pills.

It was true that the second disciple had experience breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. Since he had an excuse, there was no need to insist.

The spiritual herb could be kept for Li Yingling’s future breakthrough instead.

Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm was not something achieved overnight—it generally took around a week.

After giving Li Xingtian an encouraging pat on the shoulder, Chu Xingchen turned to leave and closed the door behind him.

Outside the room, both the eldest and youngest disciples looked on with concern.

Chu Xingchen spoke helplessly, ”It’s just a breakthrough. Even if he fails, he won’t die. Do you two have to look at me like that?”

”This kind of thing should only be done once!” Li Yingling whispered. ”Master, did you feed Junior Brother any of your pills?”

”Your junior brother said that spiritual herbs are expensive these days, so he wants to save such precious materials for when his Senior Sister breaks through instead.”

Li Yingling’s brows shot up instantly.

That damned junior brother—was he scheming for his senior sister’s life?

All that worry she just had might as well have been fed to the dogs!

Chu Xingchen said sharply, ”Your current expression is very impudent.”

Li Yingling hurried to explain, ”How could that be! I’m just... deeply moved as a senior sister after hearing such touching words.”

Chen Baiqing looked between them with confusion. Why did her senior sister seem so nervous?

Was it because of Master’s pills?

But the books said those were supposed to be good things, weren’t they?

Within the sect.

Chen Baiqing was not foolish. Faced with such a strange situation, she chose silence, her face showing an innocent, harmless smile.

Chu Xingchen did not pursue Li Yingling’s insolent words and instead turned his gaze toward the mountain gate. Though the sect’s gate currently only had two stone pillars and lacked some grandeur, it was still their mountain gate.

From the distance, Zhao Wanqing approached wearing the Demon Suppression Bureau uniform. Upon seeing Chu Xingchen, she immediately cupped her fists and bowed in salute.

When she drew near, Zhao Wanqing cupped her fists again and said, ”Senior, have you been well lately?”

Chu Xingchen replied bluntly, ”If you’ve come to find me, I doubt it’s for anything good.”

Zhao Wanqing’s expression turned slightly awkward, but she quickly said, ”I’m not here to trouble you this time, Senior. I bring good news.”

”Oh? Good news, then I’m somewhat interested.”

”To thank you for your contributions during the Yuzhou City evil cultivator incident, the Central State Sects and the Sovereign have invited you to a banquet.”

Chu Xingchen rejected her with disinterest. ”A banquet? I have no taste for that.”

Traveling all that distance just to eat a meal seemed pointless. That time could be better spent figuring out how to earn more spirit stones or how to sell off some of his artifacts.

Zhao Wanqing hurriedly continued, ”It’s not merely a banquet—it’s an award ceremony. Since you’ve established a sect here, you could receive certain privileges and subsidies.”

Chu Xingchen glanced at Li Yingling’s uneasy expression and refused again, ”Enough. I’m not going.”

Zhao Wanqing sighed softly, then drew an envelope from her chest and handed it to Chu Xingchen. ”If you change your mind, Senior, you can find me at the Demon Suppression Bureau.”

Chu Xingchen accepted the envelope but did not open it, instead slipping it straight into his robes. He looked at Li Yingling and said, ”Don’t worry. As long as your master is here, no one can harm you.”

Attending that banquet would mean traveling to the capital of Xuanwu Nation—the same place Li Yingling had struggled so desperately to escape from. She would rather have followed Chu Xingchen through hardship and wilderness than return to that place.

She had thought she had long forgotten that home, but in truth, she had not.

As Zhao Wanqing spoke, Li Yingling could not help but recall the home that had imprisoned her throughout her childhood.

The fear buried in her heart for over ten years welled up once more. Though she had already stepped onto the immortal path and cultivated divine abilities, what surfaced in her mind was her mother’s pale, helpless face—

And herself, hiding behind a wall, too afraid to say goodbye.

At that time, she had felt as if she were dreaming.

If she just woke up, her mother would once again gently stroke her head, call her ”Yuanyuan,” ask if she was hungry, ask if anyone had bullied her.

Then suddenly, a warm, large hand touched her head once again—just like her mother’s hand in the past.

Li Yingling came back to her senses and instinctively looked up at the owner of the hand.

It wasn’t her mother from those memories, but her master, whose face showed deep concern.

Without realizing it, Li Yingling whispered, ”Master...”

Only after the words left her mouth did she notice her throat tightening with emotion.

Chu Xingchen said nothing, only gently ruffling her hair again as he spoke softly, ”Master already told you, as long as I’m here, no one can harm you. If you don’t want to go, then we won’t. If you want revenge, then today Master will accompany you to kill your way back.”

”Remember, your home is here now. Your master and everyone here are your family.”

Just as Li Yingling was about to respond, she felt a small hand slip into hers.

She looked down to see Chen Baiqing.

Chen Baiqing’s expression was serious as she said, ”Junior sister will accompany you to kill your way back.”
