Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Lisong Valley.

Chen Ye seemed a bit busy today.

”Stare——”

The little girl puffed up her chubby cheeks, her big eyes staring intently at Chen Ye.

Master disappeared last night.

Senior Sister said Master had gone to take care of important matters.

But how did taking care of matters turn into bringing back a fox spirit?!

”...”

The eldest disciple instinctively clenched the gourd at her waist, her jaw tense, eyes slightly cold.

Isn’t it enough to handle important matters outside?

He even needs to attend to them at home!

True Inheritor Bai is truly too much!

”Hmm...”

Jin’er bit her lower lip, nervously twisting the corner of her clothes.

Why has this sister come again?

The pills she casually gifted last time helped me reach Foundation Establishment.

And she’s incredibly beautiful.

Compared to her, Jin’er feels like worthless mud.

Master must prefer spending time with her...

Chen Ye finds the climate of Yan Kingdom very strange.

Even though it’s already winter, as a Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, he’s feeling some chill.

”Ahem.”

He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed heavily, noticing three pairs of eyes focused sharply on him. He then assumed a solemn face, saying seriously,

”Master and True Inheritor Bai just defeated a powerful enemy, they need rest, True Inheritor Bai will be staying in the valley for several days, remember to be polite.”

”Hmph! What powerful enemy did Master defeat? Fine! Qing Jun will pretend it’s true!”

Qing Jun rolled her eyes at Master.

When Master returned, she hugged him and sniffed repeatedly, looking closely, but didn’t see any injuries!

What is this defeating a powerful enemy?

”Master doesn’t need to explain, disciple trusts Master...”

The eldest disciple said calmly.

Chen Ye felt gratified, knowing the eldest disciple was considerate.

But just as he was looking approvingly at the eldest disciple, he saw her face turned icy cold...

He silently withdrew his gaze.

As for Jin’er, when she saw Chen Ye looking, she shivered in fright, whispering, ”Master... Jin’er has no objections...”

Though claiming no objections,

her frightened look made Chen Ye’s heart ache.

But he, Chen, was a middle period Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he be intimidated by a few little girls?

Chen Ye’s expression turned stern, he reached out and flicked the puffed-up little girl’s face:

”You little brat, what’s with that look? Be polite later! Did you hear!”

The little girl who originally wanted to throw a fit wilted immediately after Master’s flick.

She pouted, ”I got it! Why so fierce!”

”Hmph! Without being a bit fierce, how would you listen to Master?”

Chen Ye snorted coldly,

”And Zhiwei, you’re the eldest sister, usually the most composed, take care of your junior sister, don’t disappoint Master.”

”Master, Zhiwei knows...”

Zhiwei slowly released the Gourd Sword.

Yes, she’s the eldest sister, how can she trouble Master?

Swallowing back all the bitterness, what’s today compared to that?

”Jin’er.”

”Ah? Yes, Master...”

”Go tidy up the courtyard to the west, replace with new spirit tea and cloud brocade bedding. True Inheritor Bai likes peace and quiet, if there’s nothing important, don’t disturb her.”

Relieved to just tidy up the room without having to accompany True Inheritor Bai, Jin’er nodded quickly:

”Yes, disciple will go now.”

Watching the three disciples with varying expressions, but at least they agreed without causing a scene.

Only then did Chen Ye rub his temples, feeling that the earlier verbal exchange was even more exhausting than fighting with Li Min.

”Alright, don’t just stand around, get ready.”

Chen Ye waved, signaling the disciples to leave.

After they left,

he shook his head helplessly:

”Soft rice isn’t easy to eat... Not only do I have to cater to someone’s mood outside, at home, I also have to consider my disciples’ feelings...”

Sigh...

Chen Ye really didn’t expect.

When he said it, it was just like that,

but True Inheritor Bai actually came back with him?

Wasn’t she saying not to trouble her...

Of course.

Chen Ye didn’t mean to blame, since Bai Susu is injured, given their relationship, it’s only right to let her recuperate in Lisong.

...

The west courtyard.

This was originally an idle courtyard, Jin’er swiftly revamped the interior decor, even thoughtfully lighting a calming Cloud Mountain scent on the desk.

Chen Ye pushed open the door,

immediately spotting the golden-furred ball sitting cross-legged on the bed.

She had taken off her outer vestment robe, wearing only a thin snow-white inner garment.

Perhaps because there was no one else here, she hadn’t bound her hair, the brilliant golden locks casually draped over her shoulders, shedding the usual cold disdain for a touch of gentle laziness.

Upon hearing the door open.

Bai Susu’s long eyelashes slightly trembled, eyes opened.

Seeing Chen Ye,

she frowned slightly, casting a somewhat disdainful glance around:

”The spiritual qi here is too thin. Healing here might take several extra days. Had I known, it’s better to recuperate on my own spiritual ship.”

Chen Ye wasn’t annoyed, smiling as he shut the door, walking leisurely to the table to pour a cup of hot tea:

”True Inheritor Bai’s criticism is valid. Lisong Valley is remote, naturally it can’t compare to Lingyin Sect’s Cave Heaven Blessed Land. But the scenery is pleasant, True Inheritor Bai staying a few extra days might as well relax.”

Bai Susu glanced at him indifferently, not commenting: ”Relaxing... Is that so...”

She seemed to remember something, looking at Chen Ye with interest.

Chen Ye, inexplicably nervous, forced a chuckle: ”True Inheritor, have some tea first, to soothe your throat.”

Saying thus,

he poured a cup of hot tea, handing it to Bai Susu’s side.
