Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Chapter 446: Chapter 231: Dandan Qing Jun, Extraordinary Past

Hard-mouthed like a dead duck.

But Bai Susu’s reaction was just as expected.

Chen Ye had long known what kind of temper Bai Susu had. She was extremely self-centered and wouldn’t show weakness to anyone.

Or rather... she was suspicious of everyone and only trusted herself.

Chen Ye was puzzled as to why Bai Susu, who grew up doted on by the Bai Family, developed such a personality.

Coddling certainly could make her arrogant and domineering.

But Bai Susu was not just arrogant.

He suddenly remembered the friction between Bai Wuji and the Bai Family, and was surprised: ”Could it be that there was another motive behind Bai Li’s death back then? Could it even be related to the Bai Family’s internal affairs? Bai Li was a Golden Core True Man, the next Family Head of the Bai Family, and the first prodigy of Lingyin Sect. How could he have been ambushed and killed so easily?”

”What are you gawking at?”

Bai Susu saw him staring at her, lost in thought, for a long time and frowned slightly, the suspicion in her eyes growing stronger.

”Ha... You dared to enter Grotto Heaven with just Qi Cultivation; you truly value opportunities over your life. Now, with Foundation Establishment, you’ve grown bolder and dare to offend me.”

If she wasn’t unable to move, she’d definitely teach him a harsh lesson!

Although she treated him so well, Chen Ye didn’t appreciate it. Did he plan to take advantage of her weakness?

Hearing her accusation, Chen Ye snapped out of his thoughts, looked at her wary yet slightly indignant expression, and said with a chuckle:

”Grandma Bai, what are you thinking? Take advantage when you’re down? If I really had that intention, I would just sit down and wait for you to be drained, then pick up the prizes lying around here. Why would I be standing here listening to you ramble?”

”You!”

Bai Susu was left speechless by his retort, her pale face flushing with a hint of red from anger.

Zhiwei was slightly pleased, putting on a stern face: ”So in Sister Susu’s eyes, Master is someone who would forget righteousness for profit!”

She furrowed her brows, gripping her sword handle tightly, appearing quite displeased.

After speaking, she gave her master a meaningful look, shaking her head silently.

Chen Ye: ”...”

Darn you, Lu Zhiwei, were you just sowing discord? You wicked little girl, so young yet trying to manipulate your master!

The little white fox on Zhiwei’s shoulder sensed the tense atmosphere, stopped its mournful whimpering, and curiously looked at Bai Susu with its black eyes.

Bai Susu was suffocated by this pair of master and disciple.

She wanted to argue that she didn’t mean it that way, but given her predicament, she was too tired to explain, and the continuous force from the Divine Soul Tao Stele was draining her energy even more.

Chen Ye said seriously: ”True Inheritor Bai, whether you believe it or not, I’m here to rescue you.”

”Rescue me?”

Bai Susu, who had just shut her eyes, chuckled in anger.

She really misjudged Chen Ye!

How could outsiders know her whereabouts?

Let alone, Chen Ye was just a Qi Cultivation Cultivator before, how could he have the capability to save her?

Besides, Chen Ye had two disciples; why would he risk saving an unrelated person...

Upon reflection, Bai Susu coldly dismissed the thought that Chen Ye could risk his own life to save her!

Thinking this over, Bai Susu’s face turned icy, and she ignored Chen Ye even more.

Seeing Bai Susu’s apparent non-cooperative stance, Chen Ye was both angry and anxious, but now wasn’t the time to argue with her. He spoke in a grave tone:

”True Inheritor Bai, now is not the time to act on resentment. If I were truly after opportunities, why would I care about your life or death? Where is that Demon Cultivator? The one who set this trap for you?”

Hearing the term Demon Cultivator, Bai Susu couldn’t help but coldly reply:

”Just a hidden scoundrel! She doesn’t have the ability to trap me. If it weren’t for this cursed stele suddenly absorbing me, I’d have already cut her down! As for her...”

She hesitated, unsure of whether to continue.

Chen Ye coughed and said: ”True Inheritor Bai, at this point, please don’t hide anything from me.”

Bai Susu pressed her lips together: ”I... I don’t know. I thought she entered the Ninth Layer Heaven, but didn’t expect...”

She stuttered, her eyes avoiding his.

Chen Ye realized she was hesitating not because of any secrets, but merely out of embarrassment!

Chasing after her for so long, and in the end, she didn’t even see a shadow and was trapped here awaiting death.

Chen Ye chuckled coldly and said, ”True Inheritor Bai. Could you have been tricked by the Demon Cultivator? Trapped here without even shedding blood...”

”Nonsense! No way! That scoundrel already lost half her life to me, how is that bloodless...”

Bai Susu, feeling flustered, hurriedly explained.

Chen Ye sighed.

This meant that the Demon Cultivator might not have entered the Ninth Layer Heaven at all.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

In the Ninth Layer Heaven, there was only one Divine Path, and if the Demon Cultivator entered, she would have no place to hide once Bai Susu caught up.

Before trapping Bai Susu, she would’ve been killed by Bai Susu.

Moreover, breaking eight Tao Steles, destroying the Ninth Layer Heaven’s restrictions, and knowing the last stele was the Divine Soul Tao Stele...

It was clear she was well-informed about Songyang Cave Heaven and capable of using the Divine Soul Tao Stele to trap and kill Bai Susu.

Given this, Chen Ye didn’t need to worry about the Demon Cultivator’s ambush.

He presumed the Demon Cultivator might not even have a Ninth Layer Heaven token, otherwise she would have entered long ago to kill Bai Susu.

Chen Ye crouched down, ignoring Bai Susu’s warning look of ”Don’t come any closer!”, and scrutinized the soul power chain connecting her brow and the Tao Stele carefully.

”Ugh...”

Having Chen Ye stare at her so intently made Bai Susu uncomfortable, but unable to move, she could only endure his gaze roaming over her.
