Chapter 130: Chapter 130: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator 4

Seeing that Ling Kewei did not react, Kong Xue called out, ”Second Senior Brother?”

”I saw.” Ling Kewei replied.

His gaze did not shift, openly staring in that direction.

He had wanted to go see her many times, but he couldn’t.

Even though he was his master’s most valued disciple, he couldn’t get involved with a Demon Cultivator, or it would bring a lot of trouble.

Besides, what could he do if he went?

He might not even be allowed to enter.

He heard from his master that this year Junior Sister Lin had approached the Sect Master several times, hoping to see her, but naturally to no avail.

Later, Junior Sister Lin even tried to sneak over, but was caught and brought back by the Sect Master.

Fortunately, everyone could see clearly that Junior Sister Lin only wanted to go inside because of her deep friendship with her, not because of any involvement with the Demon Cultivators.

Junior Sister Lin was naive and pure, her sincerity moved people, and being the Sect Master’s disciple, everyone could still tolerate her.

He was different; everyone knew that people like them had a certain level of interest in her, and if he went to see her, he feared suspicion from others.

He didn’t know how much longer she could hold on.

Given her situation, she probably couldn’t hold on for much longer.

”Second Senior Brother, could you describe the scene back then?” Kong Xue asked.

Ling Kewei lacked patience: ”Ying Jianjun was very formidable, the scene is indescribable. Others were present then, perhaps Third Junior Sister can ask around.”

Clearly, he was also someone who used and abandoned her, yet he couldn’t stand others using and abandoning her.

Kong Xue was not angry: ”Second Senior Brother, some people are not worth contemplating.”

There wasn’t much sincerity to begin with, thinking about it doesn’t help, better to let go.

She turned and left.

No more questions.

Regret filled her when she thought of Fourth Junior Sister, with some sisterly bond, not much, but more so for her cultivation of excellent Spirit Plants, which she was going to gift at her Taoist partner ceremony.

Ling Kewei remained silent.

In his mind, he thought about the formidable Ying Jianjun.

If he had Ying Jianjun’s strength, he wouldn’t need to stand here gazing at Ice Peak Cliff today; he could stride right in, and no one could stop him.

After pausing for a moment, he too turned and left, preparing for a period of seclusion.

To become a figure like Ying Jianjun, diligent cultivation was necessary.

On his way back to the cave, Ling Kewei encountered Gu Yu, who looked disheveled and covered in blood that hadn’t been cleaned, indicating a rough time outside.

He halted: ”Did you encounter Demon Cultivators? Escaping back in such a state seems like it.”

”And what if it is?” Gu Yu replied, ”Second Senior Brother should know some Demon Cultivators get desperate, can’t get their way, so they lay in ambush for sneak attacks. These things happen daily; Second Senior Brother looks surprised, perhaps it’s been long since you went out.”

”Just got back.” Ling Kewei fingered the fan in his hand, his keepsake and his weapon, ”Seeing you in such disarray, it’s a concern whether Junior Brothers can fend for themselves, as previously there was always someone looking after you.”

This hit the mark, Gu Yu’s face changed drastically.

Ling Kewei knew how to hit sore spots.

Was he the type to care about that?

Without Yun Chen, did he lack hands, brains, unable to do things himself? With Yun Chen, he didn’t attend to these because it was done for him, why bother?

Seeing Gu Yu’s discomfort, Ling Kewei felt a bit pleased, and then returned to his cave.

When others were uncomfortable, he would be slightly at ease.

Gu Yu returned to his cave with a somber expression, not immediately tending to his wounds.

He sat in the cave, seemingly awaiting something.

After a while, he sneered.

Then he got busy, his inner discomfort made him agitated in everything, causing a clattering in the cave. Fortunately, the cave had a sound insulation array, or it would have attracted attention from outside.

Soon, he looked at the disarray within the cave and punched the stone table.

He only used Yun Chen; she was foolish, easily coaxed by a few words, she would help him. To her, it was merely exploitation from him. Arriving at the sect initially, he just wanted a relaxed life, encountering a fool, why not use her?

After so many years, it was merely a habit.

Even without Yun Chen, he could have lived well.

He cast a Cleaning Technique, clearing the cave of dust, yet it remained messy, items overturned, the once orderly cave appearing chaotic.

”Junior Sister Lin, don’t be sad; the Sect Master prohibits it for your own good, linking with Demon Cultivators is a grave matter.” Ba Fan consoled.

Lin Mingxi sat by the pond, chin in hand, gazing at the clouds below the mountain.

”I fear Senior Sister Yun cannot hold on for much longer.”

Ba Fan said, ”That too is fate.”

”I don’t know if she has issues, but Demon Cultivators are vile. For your sake and the Sect Master who values you, Junior Sister Lin, don’t do anything foolish.”

Lin Mingxi sighed, smiled at Ba Fan: ”I understand, thank you, Brother Ba.”

Ba Fan’s face reddened slightly, feeling uneasy, quickly saying: ”We are fellow disciples; I fear for your safety, as you’re kind-hearted, no one would want you harmed.”

”Alas,” Lin Mingxi sighed, ”The Senior Brother is out training again, seldom staying in the sect, unclear when he’ll return. Though good, prevents him from siding with the master against Senior Sister Yun, believing she’s not good, but what’s wrong with Senior Sister Yun?”

”Actually, I know Senior Brother cares for me, detests Senior Sister Yun for hurting me, but... I feel Senior Sister Yun is truly innocent.”

”Senior Brother might know I’m angry, even went out to buy me a hairpin before.” Lin Mingxi touched the beautiful hairpin in her hair, ”Brother Ba, do you think it’s pretty?”

Facing Lin Mingxi’s question, Ba Fan tried to respond positively, wishing it wasn’t gifted by Wen Shaojin.

One moment he was joyous from her smile, hearing about Wen Shaojin dropped him from the Immortal Realm to mundane dust, truly uncomfortable. He discerned Junior Sister Lin’s closeness to Wen Shaojin.

”Ba Fan, come quickly.”

Just as he was about to reply, Zou Yi’s voice reached his ears.

The master used sound transmission.

Ba Fan dared not delay, quickly bidding farewell to Lin Mingxi.

”Master.”

Zou Yi said, ”Where have you always been? Neglecting affairs at Spirit Fire Peak? How can it be so messy?”

This should have been delegated to disciples; today he wished to refine Elixirs, as even Spirit Fire Peak housed decent Spirit Plants, sparing him a trip to Spirit Wood Peak, not needing rare Spiritual Medicine.

To his surprise, the disciples delivered poorer Spiritual Medicine.

Upon inquiry, he discovered the Spirit Field neglected, resulting in poorly grown Spiritual Medicine.

Thus, he summoned Ba Fan, the eldest disciple responsible for affairs at Spirit Fire Peak.

Ba Fan’s skin tingled, entrusted with tasks, as Yun Chen was especially adept with Spirit Plants, hence handed Spirit-related affairs to her.

She’d been confined at Ice Peak Cliff for a year, unable to manage Spirit Fire Peak’s Spirit Plant affairs.

He had forgotten this matter.

”Quickly handle this.” Zou Yi said, turning away.

Ba Fan hastened below; upon reaching the Spirit Field, his sight blurred.

The sparse, weed-infested Spirit Field had lost its former lush Spirit Plant glory.

The master had scolded him, only leaving him to delegate urgent fixes, despite disciples’ efforts, the Spirit Field couldn’t regain its past state.

Zou Yi questioned, Ba Fan had to admit the Spirit Field was once overseen by Yun Chen.

”Turning to Demon Cultivation is indeed swift.”

At Ice Peak Cliff, Ah Chen opened her eyes.
