Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Fairy Gu Tangyin was networking with the crowd from afar, yet her peripheral vision never left Chen Ye’s table.

Seeing Chen Ye’s lazy demeanor, her jade hand clenched slightly under her long sleeves, a venomous gleam flashed in her eyes.

”Laugh now, while you still can... Do you really think Huayue can’t deal with the Yan Kingdom? It’s just not the right time yet.”

Fairy Gu Tangyin sneered inwardly,

”In a few days, let’s see if you can still laugh...”

She thought to herself, but maintained a gentle smile on her face, holding her wine cup gracefully, she walked over to the Lingyin Sect’s seats.

”Fairy Gu, such a busy person, how did you find time to come to our corner?”

Chen Ye raised his eyelids slightly, stood up and smiled.

Although both parties have long harbored animosity, the facade must be maintained, as he now represents the Lingyin Sect.

Fairy Gu Tangyin’s fingers gripping the wine cup slightly whitened, but her smile became even brighter:

”I heard Instructor Chen is set to return to Lingyin Sect tomorrow. This journey is long and the road treacherous, with many poor mountains and bad waters, demon beasts rampant. Tangyin came specifically to offer a toast to Instructor, wishing Instructor and the three talented disciples... a safe journey. These few are rare geniuses, Instructor Chen must protect them well, lest they perish halfway.”

”Alas, like my two Senior Brothers Zhong, each a hero among men, taught by a true master, yet even so, they fell victim to villains, perishing in the Grotto Heaven, dying prematurely. But cause and effect is a cycle, retribution is inevitable, Huayue Mansion will sooner or later avenge my two disciples... Hopefully, your disciples won’t meet such a fate.”

Zhiwei’s gaze turned icy, her hand unconsciously rested on the Gourd Sword.

Jin’er also nervously clenched the hem of her clothes, ready to deploy the Divine Fire again.

Even the least concerned Qing Jun paused in her movements as she ate.

”Fairy Gu, thank you for your concern.”

Chen Ye’s smile slowly faded, he leaned slightly forward, stared at Fairy Gu Tangyin, and said word by word,

”Chen Ye is not someone with a good temper. If I do encounter blind spirits, impudent demon beasts... Chen Ye doesn’t mind slaughtering them along the way.”

Demon beasts...

Fairy Gu Tangyin’s smile stiffened, she secretly bit her silver teeth.

Heh.

Instructor Chen, you better hope, one day you don’t fall into my hands.

Otherwise, I will surely train you into a true demon beast... A demon beast that only knows how to wag its tail and beg.

Then hand you over to the Budu River, to save wasting such a good body.

Thinking like this,

Fairy Gu Tangyin felt her heart itch, almost unable to resist pulling out the long whip from her waist to properly punish this arrogantly.

”Then I wish Instructor Chen martial success.”

She suppressed the impulse, left this statement with a forced smile, swaying with grace as she walked away, never looking back.

Watching Fairy Gu Tangyin’s departing figure, Chen Ye sneered lightly and drank the remaining tea in his cup.

Soon after, another wave of people approached with wine cups.

Leading the group were Master Zhong and Master Gu from Spirit Treasure Sect, followed closely by Zhong Jinliu.

”Instructor Chen, long time no see. Don’t know if the jade storage is still handy?”

Master Zhong smiled amicably, his gaze falling on the jade storage at Chen Ye’s waist.

This Master Zhong,

was the one invited by the Lingyin Sect to repair the Moon Rhinoceros Grand Array and later crafted the jade storage for Chen Ye.

”Master Zhong’s craftsmanship is superb, I’m extremely grateful. This sword has already killed countless enemies for me.”

Chen Ye smiled and toasted back.

Master Zhong listened, his old face blooming with a smile as he repeatedly stroked his beard:

”As long as Instructor Chen is satisfied, the sword matches the hero, the jade storage in Instructor Chen’s hand hasn’t gone to waste. My son in the Grotto Heaven, thanks to the care of the Lingyin Sect disciples, I’m endlessly grateful!”

Zhong Jinliu solemnly raised his wine cup, respectfully saying, ”Instructor Chen, I have been arrogant earlier, if there’s any offense, I hope for your forgiveness. This toast, Jinliu offers to the senior!”

Oh?

This Spirit Treasure Sect chief, turned out to be Master Zhong’s son?

The three juniors were somewhat surprised.

But thinking about it, this had long been a sign.

For instance, both were surnamed Zhong, or how their array plates matched Zhong Jinliu’s.

Beside them, Master Gu also nodded with a smile: ”I and Senior Brother Zhong are getting old, the future cultivation realm of Yan Kingdom depends on you to hold up the sky.”

Chen Ye respectfully bowed:

”The two masters are too kind. Young Friend Zhong judges things clearly, stood up for our Lingyin Sect in front of the Heaven-Suspended Tower the other day, and in the Grotto Heaven also aided my disciples greatly, Chen Ye keeps this in mind.”

Everyone clinked glasses and drank it all.

Zhong Jinliu, being young and hot-blooded, couldn’t help but say:

”Huayue cultivators have ambitions as wolves, known worldwide. Our Yan Kingdom holds the legacy of Songyang, rich in resources, vast lands and few cultivators, we need not rely on Ruins Country. Yet within the Spirit Treasure Sect, many cultivators are short-sighted, seeking to attach themselves to Huayue. Little do they know, this is handing over the cultivation resources of the Yan Cultivators willingly. I hope the senior won’t be estranged by Elder Sun and those petty people.”

He spoke more and more passionately.

Too many cultivators believe the Ruins Country is powerful, thus they wish to attach themselves.

But even if you attach yourself, how would the Ruins Country give their resources to you for free?

Their goal remains the resources on Yan Land and Songyang’s legacy.

”Ahem... Jinliu, be cautious with your words.”

Master Zhong coughed twice, interrupting his son’s speech.

After all, this is a banquet set by Fairy Gu Tangyin, with many people and wandering eyes, the walls have ears.

He lowered his voice, looking gravely at Chen Ye:

”Instructor Chen, Jinliu is young and impulsive, but his words, though crude, aren’t without reason. Huayue Mansion has suffered such a loss, they won’t let it go easily. The journey back to Lingyin Sect is long, I hope Instructor Chen will be extra cautious. If there really is an incident in the future... The Spirit Treasure cultivators of our master’s lineage will definitely stand with the Five Sects of Yan Country.”
