Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Chapter 739 - 358: The Secret of Songyang; Clever Qing Jun (Part 2)

Hiss...

This little girl!

She’s dragging hatred onto her master again... But since the little girl is just trying to speak up for her master, he can bear with her impudence this time.

Gu Tangyin’s eyelids lifted slightly, her gaze falling on that small figure wearing a veiled hat.

The Foundation Establishment Middle Period guard at her side had already gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist, Evil Qi faintly seeping out. He was only waiting for his young lady’s command to take down this little girl who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Heh."

A soft chuckle spilled from her red lips.

The smile didn’t reach her eyes, carrying a lofty, toying air,

"Such a sharp-tongued little lass. For a corner like the Yan Kingdom to raise this kind of spine, that’s not easy."

"However..."

Her tone shifted, her gaze swept past Qing Jun and fixed straight on Chen Ye, meaningful,

"Taoist Friend Chen, keep your disciple in check. In Hunyuan City, she can be excused as a child speaking without restraint. But if you go to the Ruins Country, with that mouth flaunting itself like this, I’m afraid someone will rip out her tongue and turn her into a mute servant."

"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Gu."

Chen Ye’s expression didn’t change. He reached out to press down Qing Jun, who still wanted to poke her head out and argue, and quietly placed a layer of Spiritual Power in front of his disciple,

"My useless disciple is unruly. I’ll discipline her properly once we’re back."

"That’s for the best."

Gu Tangyin nodded, quite satisfied with Chen Ye’s tact,

"I hope this time in the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, the Cultivators of the Lingyin Sect won’t let me down. Wu, let’s go."

With that said.

She turned and stepped into the carriage in a fluid motion, her red robes like fire.

The Foundation Establishment Middle Period Cultivator called Wu gave a cold snort, released his grip on the blade, and followed behind Gu Tangyin as they departed.

...

"Hmph!"

Qing Jun, cheeks puffed in anger, lifted a corner of her veil and made a face in the direction where the war chariot had vanished,

"What Huayue Mansion, what’s so great about it! I say she’s just jealous that I have a master and she doesn’t!"

"And she’s so fierce too! She’s clearly from the Yan Kingdom herself, does she really think she’s from the Ruins Country or something?"

The little girl was furious.

She once again hated that she hadn’t grown up yet.

If she had already grown up, what bad woman under heaven would dare act arrogant in front of her master?

Any woman who dared act arrogant, she’d mince her up bit by bit into tiny pieces and feed her to the little white fox!

"Squeak?" The little white fox shivered for no reason.

At some point, the little white fox had quietly poked half its head out of Qing Jun’s small backpack, thoughtfully gazing in the direction the war chariot had gone.

Chen Ye tapped Qing Jun on the head with an amused look:

"You little thing, all you know how to do is cause trouble for your master. Didn’t you hear what Gu Tangyin said? If this were the Ruins Country, you’d be the one getting taken away..."

He gave the little girl a sinister smile.

As a result,

This girl feared neither heaven nor earth. She immediately puffed out her chest: "Qing Jun’s not afraid! Master will protect Qing Jun anyway!"

There we go.

Chen Ye glared at the little girl: "But that’s not a reason for you to make trouble for your master!"

The little girl instead grew unhappy, folding her arms with a huff:

"Master! You’re a great hero! How can you swallow your anger like that? That bastard looks down on us, and we’re supposed to just put up with it?"

Chen Ye rubbed her head, his tone softening: "All that over a few sharp words. If it brings trouble, it’s really not worth it."

He was no great hero.

Chen Ye’s cultivation creed was: if he could lie low, then lie low. He had his proficiency panel, and three top-tier disciples.

As long as they developed steadily, they’d be invincible sooner or later!

Since that was the case, why go and invite trouble for no reason?

Unfortunately, this little girl’s nature was nothing like that, her temper was explosive.

Qing Jun muttered:

"Qing Jun’s not an idiot! Master, Qing Jun knows what things should be done and what things shouldn’t!"

She really felt helpless about her master.

Qing Jun wasn’t causing trouble for her master!

But she couldn’t explain it to him. Otherwise, her master would know Qing Jun was very smart, and then he’d start being wary of her!

The girl sighed.

Take that Daoist Miaofang, obsessed with the Culinary Skill.

She had deliberately led her master over there to draw that Daoist’s attention. And since her master had excellent Culinary Skill, he’d definitely shock Daoist Miaofang! Then they’d directly befriend a master.

Besides, with Qingzhi as her master’s backing, they weren’t afraid of Daoist Miaofang at all.

As for Gu Tangyin... She did lose her temper a little, but this trip her master was representing the Lingyin Sect at the Luoxiao Conference. Gu Tangyin wouldn’t go so far as to start a big fight just because of something said by a little girl like her, right?

"Alright, I know you were trying to defend your master’s dignity."

Seeing her wearing that "only I am sober while all others are drunk" expression, Chen Ye couldn’t help but be amused, but his heart also softened.

Though this lass’s talent for causing trouble was first-rate, this instinct to stand up for her own people was very much in line with him.

Hmph!

That Gu Tangyin actually dared to scare his obedient little disciple like that!

She’d better not fall into his hands in the future. Chen Ye was no good person!

"Come on, let’s go back to the residence. This meat would be wasted if we didn’t eat it. We’ll have it as a late-night snack for you all."

With a sweep of his wide sleeve, Chen Ye gathered up all the still-steaming skewers of barbarian ox tendons left on the stall.

Although Daoist Miaofang had been taken away, this Second Tier delicacy would be wasted if they didn’t eat it.

"Yay!"

A moment ago Qing Jun had still been putting on a solemn front, but the moment she heard the words "late-night snack," her façade instantly collapsed. She let out a cheer and trotted happily after Chen Ye.

...

After returning to the Listening Wind Waterside Pavilion.

Wang Fu came forward to greet them, his expression grave: "Instructor Chen, I heard that today in Hunyuan City, you ran into Gu Tangyin?"

"Oh? Your information’s quite up-to-date." Chen Ye gave him a surprised look.

Wang Fu’s expression was calm:

"There’s something Instructor Chen may not know. Hunyuan City is far from as peaceful as it appears on the surface. Underneath, currents clash and surge; if one is not careful, even Lingyin could suffer a setback. Let alone that our sect has quite a few industries in Hunyuan City, so we must be all the more cautious."
