Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Bold!

The young girl snorted coldly.

In front of Xu Qingjun, you’re merely considered a little girl. Even Bai Susu wouldn’t dare covet the master in her presence!

”...”

Zhao Yushuang felt helpless.

Imagine her, a Guardian of Danxia Peak, being easily subdued by a little girl who’s not even taller than the stove.

Yet, it was precisely at the crucial moment of pill refining. She dared not rashly use her Divine Sense for investigation, fearing she might disturb Chen Ye, so she had to abandon the idea.

”Let it go. Bai Susu... won’t return to the sect anytime soon. There’s plenty of time.” She thought to herself.

On Chen Ye’s side, the process was already nearing completion.

There’s no denying, the ground fire in the top-tier Pill Room truly was exceptional. Coupled with Chen Ye’s alchemy skills which had reached a state of perfection, the process of refining this batch of Soaring Spirit Pills was smooth and astonishingly fast.

”Solidify.”

With a gentle command from Chen Ye, his ten fingers blossomed like lotus flowers, and the final sealing technique was applied to the furnace.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Dozens of streams of light shot out from the furnace, landing steadily on the jade tray in Chen Ye’s hand.

”It’s done.”

Casually, Chen Ye placed the jade tray on the table.

Zhao Yushuang’s eyes brightened, disregarding her quarrel with the young girl, she flashed over beside the jade tray.

Just a glance.

This pill fairy seemed to be struck by lightning, her expression overwhelmed with shock.

In the jade tray, each Pill was emerald green, resembling top-quality jade, enveloped in Danxia.

Indeed, another top-grade pill!

Though Chen Ye seldom refined Soaring Spirit Pills, they were merely common Second Tier Pills. With past experience, he could effortlessly refine them into top-grade quality.

However, if he wanted to advance further, he would need to spend considerable time improving his proficiency.

But judging by Zhao Yushuang’s reaction, these pills were already sufficient.

Chen Ye smiled and said: ”Well, Guardian Zhao, are you satisfied?”

”Satisfied? More than satisfied! With Instructor Chen’s assistance, the sect’s mission will surely be accomplished soon.”

Carefully, Zhao Yushuang picked up a pill from the jade tray, scrutinizing it in the firelight.

The pill was like jade, its pattern like clouds.

”That’s good then.”

With a smile, Chen Ye secretly glared at Qing Jun, he clearly noticed Qing Jun’s little actions earlier.

The young girl pouted and glared back at her master.

The despicable old man, Qing Jun was protecting him!

Suddenly, Zhao Yushuang lifted her charming face, her eyes burning as she looked at Chen Ye and smiled lightly:

”Instructor Chen, being older than me, and far superior in the Alchemy Dao. If you don’t mind... in private, I dare to call you Brother Chen, would you agree?”

There’s a saying: one doesn’t hit a smiling face, and Chen Ye had no reason to refuse Zhao Yushuang’s gesture of goodwill.

This woman, though only in the Middle Period of Foundation Establishment, had a special position worth associating with.

”Names are merely labels, since... Yu Shuang doesn’t mind Chen’s impertinence, then let it be according to you.”

The utterance of ”Yu Shuang” was natural and calm.

Yet it landed in Zhao Yushuang’s ears, causing her to feel bashful:

”Thank you, Brother Chen.”

...

The sun sets in the west, the residual sun like blood.

Having worked hard all day, Chen Ye finally completed training the pills.

He was energetic.

But Qing Jun in his arms now resembled a drooping eggplant, her head leaning on his chest.

She had overseen the process all day, which thoroughly exhausted her.

”Instructor Chen.”

Zhao Yushuang spoke softly,

”Thank you for your hard work today. These top-grade Soaring Spirit Pills have alleviated the urgent needs of Danxia Peak. In the future, should you need...

”Aunt!”

A voice of surprise suddenly came from the foot of the steps.

It was a young male cultivator swiftly approaching.

Zhao Tong originally in a good mood, upon returning to Danxia Peak found his aunt’s Pill Room restriction activated, thus deliberately waited here.

Planning to act spoiled as soon as his aunt emerged, hoping to obtain a few freshly refined pills.

After all, his aunt doted on him dearly.

As long as he asked, his aunt would think of ways to fetch even the stars from the sky for him.

”Aunt! You finally...”

Zhao Tong advanced happily, but midway through his words, the word ”arrived” stuck in his throat.

His smile froze on his face, eyes bulging suddenly.

Chen Ye?

Why was he here too?

Days ago, he had specially exposed Chen Ye’s true nature to hinder him in front of his aunt, why did she still meet with Chen Ye now?

”Zhao Tong?”

Stopping, Chen Ye wasn’t surprised.

Zhao Tong was Zhao Yushuang’s nephew, transferred from Herb Peak to Danxia Peak months ago, it wasn’t surprising to see him here.

”Chen Ye, you... why are you here?”

Normally, Zhao Tong could suppress his resentment, but seeing Chen Ye beside his glamorous aunt, how could he continue to restrain himself?

Zhao Yushuang slightly frowned, softly explaining:

”Tong’er, do not be rude. Instructor Chen was invited by your aunt for assistance. If not for Instructor Chen today, the sect’s mission might be hard to finish.”

Saying this, she intended to resolve the misunderstanding between her nephew and Chen Ye, thus she smiled and beckoned:

”It’s just right you came too. You always claimed Instructor Chen was only skilled in theory. Today, your aunt witnessed firsthand, Instructor Chen’s profound expertise in the Alchemy Dao. Come over, offer your respects to Instructor Chen; later, if you encounter doubts in Alchemy Dao, you can seek his guidance.”

Zhao Yushuang intended well with these words.

Zhao Tong was her beloved nephew, while Chen Ye was... her newly recognized Brother Chen.

If they could get along harmoniously, it would be ideal.

But these words made Zhao Tong dizzy, almost fainting.

Previously, his aunt would help him speak, why now did she favor Chen Ye?

The remnants of the sunset illuminated her slightly loose purple-gold alchemy robe.

The belt around her waist was tied tightly, delineating captivating curves, rich in allure.

And her usually icy countenance towards others, which only occasionally bore a smile towards himself, now showed a gentle smile towards Chen Ye.
