Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Whose arrival would make Chen Ye panicked?

Naturally, it would be Bai Susu.

”Unexpected guest?”

Lin Jin tilted his head in confusion.

Before Chen Ye could respond, a clear voice penetrated the door:

”What? Instructor Chen, hiding a beauty in your golden house and not even letting me, the true inheritor, in?”

Chen Ye’s expression changed slightly, he sighed helplessly, gesturing for Lin Jin to stay calm, then turned to open the door.

The moonlit courtyard was bright.

A petite, delicate golden-haired girl, dressed in a white true inheritor Taoist robe, descended from her flying sword, eyeing him with ill intent.

”True Inheritor Bai.”

Chen Ye muttered to himself, wondering what this little ancestor was up to in the middle of the night.

Could it be she’s here to torment him again?

”I heard your little disciple with the Cold Flame is about to reach Foundation Establishment? Take me to see her.”

Bai Susu snorted lightly, stepping past Chen Ye with determined strides to enter the house.

Chen Ye was taken aback, and quickly followed: ”True Inheritor, your information is indeed timely.”

”In the Lingyin Sect, not many things can be hidden from me that I wish to know,”

Bai Susu gave him a glance, sneering,

”So, you’d better not try to hide anything from me.”

Chen Ye was helpless, thinking there was no point in hiding anything from Bai Susu, as he hadn’t done anything disgraceful.

The two entered the room.

Lin Jin was leaning against the bedhead, looking nervously at the suddenly intruding golden-haired girl.

She knew this was a significant figure in the sect, a Lingyin true inheritor.

Previously, she had only heard of the Lingyin true inheritor by reputation...

”Is this the little girl who severely injured Lady Meichan with her Qi Cultivation?”

Bai Susu raised her eyebrows, stretched out a soft white finger, gently lifting Lin Jin’s chin for a closer look,

”She looks pretty, but her disposition seems even more reserved than your senior disciple.”

Jin’er stiffened, forced to look up at the exceptionally beautiful girl before her.

Chen Ye frowned slightly, reaching out to discreetly remove Bai Susu’s finger from the disciple’s chin, stepping in front of Lin Jin, smiling helplessly:

”True Inheritor Bai, my disciple is timid, please don’t scare her.”

”Tsk, protecting her already?”

Bai Susu retracted her hand, not angry, merely casting a disdainful glance at Chen Ye,

”One might think I’m some kind of voracious beast.”

Indeed.

Truth be told, from Chen Ye’s perspective, Bai Susu certainly had a way of devouring people.

Chen Ye sighed: ”It’s actually that my disciple indeed doesn’t like to interact with others.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu glanced at Lin Jin, noticing her considerable nervousness.

Indeed...

Chen Ye’s other two disciples were often active outside, but Lin Jin stayed at home all day long, seemingly somewhat recluse.

Bai Susu did not mind, flipping her wrist to toss a small jade bottle exuding cold air onto Lin Jin’s bedding:

”Alright, I don’t have the time to bully kids. This is an Ice Soul Pill, not quite the Treasures of Heaven and Earth, but more than enough to suppress the fire toxin within you. Since she’s your precious disciple, I can’t be too stingy, consider it a meeting gift.”

Jin’er held the icy jade bottle, froze for a moment, then instinctively looked towards Chen Ye.

”True Inheritor Bai is no outsider, you might as well accept what she offers. Hurry and thank True Inheritor Bai.”

Chen Ye said warmly.

Hmm... this Golden Furred Ball really is a treasure trove, always producing good things.

”Th... Thank you, True Inheritor Bai.” Lin Jin said quietly,

”Hm.”

Bai Susu nodded in satisfaction, turning to Chen Ye with a solemn look,

”Alright, I’ve seen the person, given the medicine. Chen Ye, come out, I have something to discuss with you.”

He soothed Lin Jin with a few words to rest well, and then followed Bai Susu out to the courtyard.

”That old man Xu Henshan should have mentioned it to you, right? About investigating the sect’s spy.”

She casually set up a soundproof barrier, looking seriously at Chen Ye.

”Mentioned.” Chen Ye nodded, ”Senior Xu said there’ll be someone notifying me of the specific tasks... is this someone True Inheritor Bai?”

”Who else but the true inheritor? You can’t be left to investigate blindly on your own, that’s hardly effective.”

Bai Susu chuckled, explaining,

”Besides, that old man Xu wouldn’t just assign you such tedious work... Basically, you’ll be tagging along with me, helping kill a few people for merit.”

”That’s good then.”

Chen Ye was genuinely relieved.

So this is how it is.

He was initially worried about how to conduct the investigation, only to find he should continue relying on the powerful support.

”I understand, as True Inheritor commands, I shall boost the morale!” Chen Ye bowed in affirmation.

Bai Susu unceremoniously shattered his delusions, casting a sideways glance at Chen Ye:

”What kind of status do I have? Such dirty work, you expect me to do it personally? Following me means I’ll back you up, and you’ll be the one fighting. Understand, my Chen the Guardian?”

Chen Ye’s smile stiffened: ”So it’s me who kills then?”

”What, did you think you’d be decoration?”

Bai Susu remarked naturally.

She eyed Chen Ye, seeing his aura wholly solid, seemingly on the cusp of reaching the Middle Period of Foundation Establishment.

With such cultivation, he could hardly be considered weak.

If he had no ability to kill, Bai Susu would certainly question her judgment.

”Just wondering, who does True Inheritor intend for me to strike first?” Chen Ye asked.

”Don’t know.” Bai Susu shrugged, ”If we knew, the sect would have dealt with the spy long ago. It’s a matter of importance, not just up to me... If we find clues, I’ll notify you then.”
