Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Hmm hmm...

This girl grows up wanting to tease him all the time.

Now that it’s his turn, Chen Ye naturally finds it reasonable to tease Little Susu!

However,

Although Chen Ye was anxious, he knew better than to act rashly for quick success.

His current identity was just a down-and-out Loose Cultivator who had just been rescued.

If he acted too eagerly and curious towards his benefactor’s young daughter, it would definitely raise Bai Li’s suspicions.

One must strike while the iron is hot.

The most important thing at the moment is to take advantage of this rare breather to quickly condition this weak body and restore his combat strength.

”Brother Bai, Jiaming, after probing the sea of consciousness earlier and the long journey, I am indeed a bit weary. I’d like to return to the compartment to adjust myself and calm my Divine Soul.”

Chen Ye put on a weak appearance and said with cupped hands.

”Go on, the second room on the left is empty, and there’s a calming array inside. You can rest assuredly and call me if anything comes up.”

Bai Li didn’t even raise his head, meticulously trimming a star flower, his voice calm and gentle.

”Big Brother, have a good rest. Later, Jiaming will go to the market to buy some delicious food for you!”

Qin Jiaming, smiling brightly, waved her hand.

Chen Ye thanked them once more before pushing open the wooden door to the room on the left.

The room wasn’t large, the furnishings were simple, but there was indeed a cleverly set calming array, with a faint sandalwood fragrance lingering in the air.

Chen Ye shut the door firmly behind him, and silently set up a hidden Divine Sense alert behind the door, then quickly walked to the bed, sitting cross-legged.

At this point.

He could finally catch his breath.

”Everything reeks of mystery... There are too many issues in this world.”

”As of now, I must urgently restore my cultivation.”

”Once I’m back at my peak, within the Qi Kingdom, I should be able to come and go freely as long as I don’t encounter a Golden Core True Man.”

”In his current state, Bai Li is likely at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer or even at Perfection. But he is unlike ordinary people, with exceptional combat strength, not to be underestimated.”

Chen Ye silently calculated.

Even at his peak, he probably wouldn’t be a match for Bai Li.

His own shortcoming was evident, which was his cultivation, merely at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

Handling ordinary people across levels was manageable, but not for a prodigy like Bai Li.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his mind swiftly sank into his dantian.

As his cultivation technique revolved, the grand circulation slowly activated, absorbing the surrounding spiritual qi.

The Saturn in the depths of his sea of consciousness emitted a gentle glow, slowly mending the wounds of his Divine Soul.

”I should be fully recovered within five days!”

Once he confirmed that his strength was steadily recovering, Chen Ye then diverted a trace of his mind to ponder the current situation.

”Bai Li... Why did he come to Qi Kingdom?”

Chen Ye frowned.

Twenty-two years ago, Bai Li was unparalleled in the Lingyin Sect.

If he had steadily cultivated, achieving Core Formation was a foregone conclusion.

Yet at this time, he brought the young Bai Susu and left the spiritual qi-rich sect of Yan Kingdom, heading to the miasmic Qi Kingdom.

”Speaking of which, Bai Li also seems to perish in the coming years...”

Chen Ye remembered clearly, Bai Li perished when Bai Susu was nine years old.

That would be within these few years.

...

Unknowingly, it was already dusk.

The rickety wooden door of the inn’s backyard was suddenly flung open from the outside with a ”bang”.

”Daddy! I found the Moon Glow Water!”

A childish voice shattered the tranquility of the backyard.

Soon after, a little girl in a slightly worn gray dress, like a cheerful little sparrow, ran in.

Upon entering the courtyard,

She couldn’t wait to remove her disguise, revealing a rare head of brilliant golden hair.

It was none other than the young Bai Susu!

In her arms was a small jade bottle, its mouth faintly emitting a gentle silver glow.

”Run slower, don’t fall.”

Upon hearing his daughter’s voice, Bai Li immediately put down the medicinal hoe in his hand, a gentle smile curling his lips.

”I’m not tired! Daddy look, I finally got this bottle of Moon Glow Water from that stingy old man!”

Little Susu, looking proud, held up the jade bottle as if showing off a treasure.

Inside the compartment.

Chen Ye, who’s meditating with closed eyes, nearly disrupted his flow upon hearing the girl’s voice.

”Little Susu is back!”

Chen Ye opened his eyes wide.

This will be his first acquaintance in this world.

”Well, who would have thought that the domineering little demoness was just like any other girl when she was young.”

Chen Ye shook his head with a chuckle.

He thought the girl would have been more unruly and rude when she was younger.

After all,

With Bai Li protecting her, she could cause significant trouble, couldn’t she?

Since she’s an ordinary little kid,

Things become quite simple...

Hmm hmm.

He, Chen Ye, was an expert on young girls in the Cultivation Realm!

When the time comes, he would surely get a little revenge and pinch the girl’s still-chubby cheeks well!

In the yard.

Little Susu was chatting away with Bai Li when her voice suddenly stopped, realizing there was a third person present.

”Eh...”

She bit her rosy lips in hesitation, pointing at Qin Jiaming with curiosity towards Bai Li,

”Daddy, who is this sister? And the room there, is it occupied?”

At this,

Qin Jiaming’s smiling face dropped instantly, covering her hands over her heart, acting exaggeratedly hurt:

”Susu, you don’t remember me?! We only haven’t seen each other for a few days! Didn’t Big Brother praise you as being smart before? This really makes people sad!”

Startled by Qin Jiaming’s outburst, Little Susu was initially stunned, then put on a serious face, placing her hands on her hips, and argued confidently:

”Why should I remember? I meet so many people every day, and I’m just a child, how can I remember everyone!”

”You’re talking nonsense!”

Qin Jiaming immediately jumped, pointing at Little Susu’s nose, retorting,

”You’re already at Qi Refining Third Layer! Cultivators have perfect recall, how could you not remember me? I know it!”

Qin Jiaming’s eyes rolled slyly, making a ”I’ve seen through you” crafty expression:

”You must be jealous! Jealous that I snatch your Big Brother away, so you’re pretending not to recognize me to make me leave, right?”

”What are, what are you blabbering about!”

Little Susu’s eyes widened, her fair face flushed red,

”You crazy woman, how dare you talk nonsense! Tarnishing my good name!”

”Alright, alright, Jiaming, stop teasing her.”

Seeing the two seemingly about to argue, Bai Li shook his head helplessly, his tone holding a hint of humor,

”This girl, just days ago weren’t you calling him ’Big Brother’ affectionately? How come just a few days apart, you don’t recognize him anymore? If your injured Big Brother in the compartment hears it, he’ll be so heartbroken.”

Saying this, there was unexpectedly a slight sourness in Bai Li’s tone.

Sigh.

This darling little thing, who usually ignores others to the extreme, was unusually close when she encountered that young loose cultivator, Chen Ye, half a month ago.

Otherwise,

Bai Li wouldn’t have risked saving two unknown Loose Cultivators during such a crucial time.

Therefore, upon seeing his daughter refusing to admit it, Bai Li merely assumed she was a shy little girl, sulking after having her thoughts exposed.

”Wha...what...”

Little Susu stiffened, her lips quivered slightly, her little hands unnaturally twisting the hem of her rough gray dress, her voice turning dry,

”I...I didn’t! I just...just didn’t recognize this sister clearly. That...That Big Brother, is he badly hurt?”

She seemed a little strange.

Bai Li raised an eyebrow, unable to figure out the reason.

But glancing at Qin Jiaming making faces next to him, he immediately understood.

Sigh, this little girl, usually likes teasing Susu, no wonder Susu is sulking.

He smiled and said, ”It’s nothing serious, just some injuries. Later tonight, we can have dinner together... However, we will eventually part ways, so Susu you mustn’t be too sad then.”
