Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”Bang bang bang!”

Qing Jun’s little fists pounded on Chen Ye’s long robe like raindrops. They didn’t hurt, but they completely shattered the cool image he’d painstakingly built up.

Damned Xu Qingjun!

Your master finally gets to show off in public once, and you, this unreasonable little brat, ruin it all!

”Quit it, quit it, your master doesn’t have time right now.”

Chen Ye sighed helplessly, bent down with practiced ease, and scooped the flailing little girl into his arms.

”Wuu wuu wuu... let me go! Big bad master, flirting everywhere!”

Qing Jun wriggled in Chen Ye’s arms, her little mouth still muttering nonstop,

”Su, see, didn’t I say he’s a terrifying demon?”

Su Qingdai, not far away: ”...”

Demon?

This is it?

She actually felt this Instructor Chen Ye was a cultivator with a great temperament, not one of those aloof, lifeless clay idols on a pedestal.

As for that Huayue cultivator who should have been the center of attention, she now seemed utterly ignored.

”Bastard! Give me back my Sword Pill!”

He Qinyuan’s expression grew darker and darker. This Sword Pill was her trump card!

Even if she was punished by the mansion afterward, with this Sword Pill she wouldn’t lose much. She might even use it to make a comeback like True Man Dongshan and compete for a Hidden Dragon seat.

But now, everything was ruined!

This man actually dared snatch her Sword Pill in broad daylight!

”Oh? You mean this...?”

Chen Ye let out a light chuckle.

The Cangming Aperture flew out, unhurriedly hovering in his palm.

If one looked closely, they could faintly see a Sword Pill quietly lurking inside the Cangming Aperture.

He thought to himself:

Not bad, a Second Tier Top Grade Sword Pill—quite the pleasant surprise.

That he could so easily seize it with the Cangming Aperture was also beyond his expectations.

But thinking it through, it was understandable.

This Sword Pill was probably obtained by He Qinyuan inside the Grotto Heaven, and she hadn’t had time to properly refine it—that was the main reason.

Secondly, He Qinyuan’s aura was hollow and unstable; she must have gone through a tough fight in the Grotto Heaven as well—Chen Ye’s guess was on the mark. Earlier, to finish things quickly, He Qinyuan had even let Zhong Jinliu and the others cut down the three bodies she’d painstakingly cultivated. On the surface it looked effortless, but in reality she’d overdrawn herself quite a bit.

”If you return it... I can still let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, deal with the consequences yourself.”

He Qinyuan’s eyes were locked on the Sword Pill.

She couldn’t care about anything else now. Since she had no chance to kill Lu Zhiwei and the other culprits, at the very least she had to keep her Sword Pill!

She lifted her chin and let out a cold laugh:

”I am a Huayue cultivator, of the Ruins Country. Who gave you the guts to seize my Magical Treasure? If you pull back in time and apologize sincerely, I might still forgive you...”

”And if I say I just won’t give it back, what then?”

Chen Ye’s smile didn’t change. The Cangming Aperture flew back into his sleeve. He looked at He Qinyuan, eyes narrowed in amusement,

”Let bygones be bygones? I’d like to ask, who gave you that courage? Yes, this Sword Pill is indeed a fine treasure. I’ll gladly accept it.”

”You’re courting death!”

He Qinyuan’s face turned ashen, rage burning in her chest.

She thought of the deaths of the Zhongshan brothers Zhong Yue and his brother, True Man Dongshan’s fury, the punishments waiting at the mansion, Gu Tangyin’s disdainful gaze...

Then she looked at that Sword Pill, and at that inexplicable Chen Ye who was provoking her... Hah, just a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment, she’d only slipped up earlier!

She had to snatch it back right now!

Otherwise, once that Gu Tangyin arrived, if she took the Sword Pill back from Chen Ye, she’d definitely pocket it herself and never return it!

”Screech!”

A cold fine sword appeared out of thin air in He Qinyuan’s hand. Her figure turned into a streak of white light, lunging straight at Chen Ye.

”Senior Sister He, stop!”

Hua Wuyin’s expression changed drastically at the sight, and he hurriedly shouted to stop her.

This was Hunyuan City of Yan Kingdom! Just now when He Qinyuan ambushed a few juniors, it could still be explained away as a private grudge between juniors.

But now, in front of all the Grandmasters of Yan Kingdom’s sects, to attack a leading Instructor—that was a completely different matter!

This is bad! Senior Sister’s gone mad!

But in her current state, how could He Qinyuan hear Hua Wuyin’s persuasion?

Her movement was incredibly fast. In an instant she split into several afterimages, all slashing forward with their swords.

It looked like she was thrusting straight at Chen Ye’s glabella, but her real target was the Cangming Aperture hidden in his sleeve.

Qing Jun lifted her eyelids for a glance, then lazily snuggled back into her master’s arms.

Hmph!

This nasty woman is no match for Master at all!

The next moment, Chen Ye moved. His left hand firmly supported Qing Jun, who was still nestled in his arms, while his right hand slowly slipped out from the wide sleeve.

His long index and middle fingers pressed together, and facing that devastating, shrill sword light, he flicked lightly forward.

”Swish swish swish swish—”

Countless Geng Metal lights surged forth, shredding all of He Qinyuan’s afterimages in an instant, revealing her true body’s shocked expression.

”Screech!”

Then, the Jade Cang sword left its sheath, slicing toward He Qinyuan with a single strike!

Great skill appears clumsy; one sword to break ten thousand techniques!

”Pff—!”

He Qinyuan’s face went deathly pale as she spat a huge mouthful of blood in midair, crashing heavily onto the bluestone floor dozens of zhang away. She smashed out a shallow, cracked pit, then lay still.

Dust billowed up; the cultivators fell utterly silent.

No one had expected He Qinyuan to draw her sword again, and even less that she would be defeated in a single instant.

”This... he’s already in the Late Period of Foundation Establishment?” Zhong Jinliu’s pupils shrank. Earlier, even when he and Chen Shu joined forces, they couldn’t beat this woman, yet in Chen Ye’s hands she didn’t last a single exchange.

Su Qingdai was even more stunned.

She’d been thinking of asking her martial uncle to go cause trouble for Chen Ye! Now it seemed her martial uncle wasn’t Chen Ye’s match at all!

If anyone here was the most relieved, it would definitely be Su Xuange.

His back ran cold as he let out a long breath: ”Fortunately, fortunately. That day I didn’t engage in a Magical Battle with Chen Ye. Otherwise, if I lost in front of everyone, I’d have disgraced Medicine King Valley completely!”

No wonder,

Lingyin Sect only sent this Instructor Chen here. Turns out this man’s strength was this terrifying!
