Chapter 237: Parting is Easy, Reuniting is Hard

The day after the Eldest Senior Sister’s birthday, the festivities had ended.

At the sect, by the stone chair beside the deep pool.

Chen Baiqing brewed tea while glancing at his own master, who currently wore a fawning smile on his face.

Chu Xingchen looked at Bai Xuanling with enthusiasm and said:

”Good sister... everything is negotiable.”

Bai Xuanling narrowed her eyes and decisively spoke: ”There is nothing to negotiate. What do you take me for, kid?”

Chu Xingchen spoke with righteousness and certainty:

”You are naturally the light that illuminates the road ahead, the sister I cherish most in my heart.”

”Heh...” Bai Xuanling’s expression carried some disdain.

”You think a few flatteries from you can get benefits from me? Are your lips made of Spirit Stones, or is your tongue made of Spirit Stones?”

Chu Xingchen did not respond to this, but instead said: ”My sincere heart toward my sister is much more precious than Spirit Stones!”

Even Bai Xuanling was considered convinced by Chu Xingchen’s thick skin at this moment.

She also deeply understood that this kid was truly willing to grind away time with her.

Although she really wanted to flick her sleeves and leave, she also had to consider the future pill business.

After all, nowadays she didn’t need to do anything; simply selling the pills refined by Chu Xingchen was enough to cover Bai Xuanling’s expenses.

From ancient times to the present, the word ”monopoly” has always equaled making a fortune.

However, occasionally it is also tied to crime, but Chu Xingchen’s pills were naturally not tied to that.

But Spirit Stones were only one part; after all, as a big shot in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and with the backing of the Heavenly Deduction Sect, Spirit Stones were no longer considered particularly important things.

Actually, the most important thing was that ever since Chu Xingchen’s refined pills appeared, the atmosphere of the entire Heavenly Deduction Sect had taken on a completely new look.

Now, as long as they were from the Heavenly Deduction Sect, regardless of which Peak Master, as soon as they saw her, they had to come up to ask about her well-being and at the same time flatter her thoroughly.

Especially the Disciplinary Elder in charge of the sect’s criminal law; in the past, he actually did not have much affection for Bai Xuanling.

After all, wiping people’s backsides too often makes anyone annoyed.

For the Disciplinary Elder, the most infuriating thing was that Bai Xuanling would always lightly leave behind a sentence — ”I know.”

Then Bai Xuanling would still continue doing her own thing; last time’s ”I know” seemed to be saying — ”I know, but I will do it again next time.”

It truly made people jump with rage.

But due to Bai Xuanling’s status in the Heavenly Deduction Sect, the Disciplinary Elder could only forcefully swallow this breath of anger.

So usually, when the Disciplinary Elder saw Bai Xuanling, even a nod counted as the Disciplinary Elder being in a good mood today.

But ever since Chu Xingchen’s pills appeared, whenever the Disciplinary Elder met her, he would hurriedly come over to ask about her well-being, praising Bai Xuanling from the east to the west.

In the end, he even hinted to her that when the pills were in stock next time, could she prioritize him, after all, this item had an amazingly excellent effect for torturing people!

It was especially suitable for dealing with that group of disciples who made mistakes.

As long as they swallowed one pill, no matter how rash a disciple was, they would think twice before acting.

Under the deterrence of the pills, the Disciplinary Elder’s workload plummeted straight down.

Some days ago, Bai Xuanling also heard that the Disciplinary Elder planned to promote Pill Punishment to the extent where even Elders would have to undergo it.

It was just that before others could even express their stance, it suffered the Sect Master’s unhesitating and crazy refusal.

No matter how impassioned the Disciplinary Elder spoke, he was vetoed by the Sect Master with a single vote.

There were also other Peak Masters who were afraid the pills would fall on their own heads, so the Disciplinary Elder’s reform proposal was instantly stillborn.

As the effects of the pills were continuously researched and developed, Bai Xuanling’s reputation was also changing.

From the former Living King of Hell, she changed into — the Evil Ghost in Pills.

However, Bai Xuanling naturally did not care about this kind of notorious reputation; after all, she wasn’t called the Living King of Hell at the start either, but was called that all the way up from the lowest-end titles.

In the future, this Evil Ghost in Pills would probably not take much time to upgrade to — the Immortal of Pills or the elegant title of the Pill Immortal Venerable and such.

But in any case, the current situation was all based on the foundation of the weird pills refined by Chu Xingchen.

These pills not only swelled Bai Xuanling’s purse but also fully supported her facade.

So at this moment.

Bai Xuanling, with a slightly helpless expression, picked up the tea brewed by Chen Baiqing, took a sip, and then spoke: ”Get straight to the point, just say what you want.”

”Cough cough, regarding Senior’s Give Me Face Token...”

”Don’t you already have two? Why do you want more?” Bai Xuanling interrupted with a frown.

Was he treating her like a token wholesaler?!

Chu Xingchen smiled sheepishly: ”My eldest disciple is preparing to go out for a stroll. I feel that bringing any defensive equipment is not as good as bringing a Give Me Face Token given by you, sister.”

Bai Xuanling looked up: ”Is your arithmetic bad?”

Chu Xingchen’s expression was somewhat aggrieved: ”I must have one too, right? In case there is someone who doesn’t open their eyes, won’t I have to rely on my sister’s face?”

Regardless of whether she gave it or not, one must reach out when it’s time to reach out.

Bai Xuanling put down the teacup and signaled Chen Baiqing to pour another cup: ”Sister’s face isn’t as big as yours, nor as hard as yours.”

”Sister! Baiqing is still here, how can you...”

Bai Xuanling glared over, and Chu Xingchen instantly swallowed the rest of his words back.

”You kid, don’t push your luck.” Bai Xuanling warned with her head held high.

Chu Xingchen sighed deeply upon hearing this: ”It’s just a pity my eldest disciple... her birthday was just yesterday. The Bai Xuanling sister she admires most only sent her blessings yesterday, and today she can’t bear to give even a single token. I really don’t know how sad my eldest disciple will be if she finds out.”

Bai Xuanling’s expression remained unchanged: ”If you don’t say it, she won’t know.”

”Eh...” Chu Xingchen did not refute, but just drank a sip of Chen Baiqing’s tea with a regretful face.

I have to say, people really become more cunning as they get older; Bai Xuanling was very hard to fool.

This time, it was estimated that he wouldn’t get it.

Bai Xuanling looked Chu Xingchen up and down for a moment, then stood up and tossed out a token: ”The same as usual. Also, wish that young girl a smooth journey for me. If she has problems, she can seek out the disciples of the Heavenly Deduction Sect.”

Chu Xingchen’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stored the Give Me Face Token into his spatial ring. Then he looked at Bai Xuanling with curiosity and asked: ”Are there Heavenly Deduction Sect disciples over in the East Victory Divine Continent too? Is our Heavenly Deduction Sect that amazing?”

Our Heavenly Deduction Sect?

Bai Xuanling was also somewhat speechless upon hearing this; this kid really knew how to put gold on his face.

Also, what was the situation with the East Victory Divine Continent? Wasn’t the destination the Central State?

”How could there possibly be our Heavenly Deduction Sect disciples in the East Victory Divine Continent? The Eighteen Immortal Sects all draw their territories based on location. That place is not under the Heavenly Deduction Sect’s jurisdiction, and there are no people from the Heavenly Deduction Sect there.”

”Also, isn’t your eldest disciple going to the Central State?”

Chu Xingchen said with an innocent look: ”I never said I was going to the Central State. My disciple’s cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage, and the Central State is full of dangers. It’s better to go to other places to accumulate some experience first.”

Bai Xuanling was considered speechless: ”Why do you need a token to go to the East Victory Divine Continent? Give it back to me!”

Chu Xingchen smiled and talked nonsense: ”That’s not necessary, right. Even if it’s other Immortal Sects among the Eighteen, they should give the Heavenly Deduction Sect some face, right? Rounded off, it counts as a face exchange at most. It’s useful, really useful.”

Bai Xuanling snorted coldly, turned around, and left with a flick of her sleeve.

Chen Baiqing watched the departing Bai Xuanling and said in a somewhat low voice: ”Is Eldest Senior Sister really leaving?”

”Mmm.” Chu Xingchen looked at Chen Baiqing and said, ”Your Eldest Senior Sister is probably leaving in these next two days. When she came back, she told me that if she didn’t leave now, she feared she would never be able to summon this thought again in the future.”

”I thought about it and still decided to support your Eldest Senior Sister.”

”After all, apart from teaching, the only thing a Master can do is offer support.”

Chen Baiqing pursed his lips and said in a somewhat low voice: ”Baiqing is a bit reluctant to let go.”

Chu Xingchen reached out and rubbed Chen Baiqing’s head, saying: ”Sometimes parting is for a better reunion. To let the Eldest Senior Sister fly further, we cannot bind her wings.”

”Just like you want to see a happier Eldest Senior Sister, sometimes Master also wants to see a happier Chen Baiqing.”

Chen Baiqing looked at Chu Xingchen with firm eyes upon hearing this: ”Baiqing will never leave Master.”

Chu Xingchen smiled without speaking.
