Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Is that all?

Chen Ye was furious.

Even Bai Susu and Mao Qingzhu had conceded.

And now it’s your turn, little Zhang Chuxi, to teach this Instructor a lesson?

”Heh, is this what you call revenge? It’s nothing more.”

Chen Ye frowned, glancing at the clumsy girl.

What?!

Zhang Chuxi was angry too.

Clearly under such humiliation, yet she still stood her ground against him!

You are a dignified Instructor, who used to bully her by relying on seniority. Now being bullied by her, it must feel humiliating, right?

No matter what,

she had to teach this vile man a harsh lesson!

Zhang Chuxi’s fighting spirit blazed, and she didn’t forget to verbally humiliate Chen Ye:

”Forgive my frankness, Instructor wasn’t you still being stubborn just now?”

”Instructor, don’t you always teach disciples to focus and concentrate? Why is your breath uneven now? Chuxi is confused, hoping Instructor can enlighten me.”

”If the Instructor is uncomfortable, if you beg for mercy, this disciple might be able to relieve your worries.”

”Hehe... truly ugly, enough to make one nauseous.”

The girl looked at him with disdain.

Can’t deny.

Even though this girl’s skills were terrible, her looks were exceptional!

Not only was she stunning, but also the dignified and elegant daughter of the Zhang family.

Of course.

Chen Ye could still endure.

He waited until the second bell rung, yet he still did not see the scene he expected.

...

Chen Ye tidied his clothes, appearing as if the absurd scene just now had never occurred.

On the contrary, Zhang Chuxi was slumped on the chair, shaking her sore hands, with her delicate eyebrows tightly furrowed, full of frustration.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make this awful Instructor beg for mercy even a bit.

Instead, she was exhausted, and he had been mocking her with that sarcastic look for a long time.

Zhang Chuxi was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

When Sister Bai bullied him, he wasn’t like this!

At that time, he was like an enraged bull! Now he acts as if nothing happened... could it be she’s actually not as good as Sister Bai?

”A bet is a bet.”

Chen Ye tapped on the table, forcing the topic back on track with a more serious expression,

”Zhang Chuxi, can you tell me now? About the truth of Black Cliff City.”

Zhang Chuxi rolled her eyes at him, though feeling reluctant, she still had some credibility.

She rubbed her wrist, speaking with irritation:

”Exactly. The Instructor should know, Black Cliff City is a major port in the East Sea, dealing with millions of Spirit Stones daily. How can just Emotion Crossing Sect handle such a big piece of pie? How could they make so many neutral forces obedient? How could they make passing Great Cultivators comply?”

This city is one of the few ports in the southeast of Lingxu Realm, with a special status.

Chen Ye’s eyes narrowed: ”You mean... Black Cliff City seems to be under the control of Emotion Crossing Sect, but is actually just a temporary steward? The real power doesn’t lie with Emotion Crossing Sect?”

”Yes.”

Zhang Chuxi pouted and whispered,

”The true mastermind is a branch of the imperial family of Ruins Country—the Li Family of the Tidal Lake!”

Ruins Country!

Hearing these two words, Chen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

This realm is known as Lingxu Realm, where two ancient countries stand against each other.

The northern domain is Ling Kingdom, the southern domain is Ruins Country.

These two ancient countries wield terrifying power, with Nascent Souls or even higher-level might overseeing them. They’re the center of the entire Lingxu Realm, and even among the vast three thousand realms, they are prominent forces.

A thousand years ago,

Lingxu Realm was divided into one sect, two countries, and four sects.

And now, one sect has withdrawn from the world, two of the four sects have fallen, while the two countries remain, showing the foundation of Ling and Xu.

As for Yan and Qi, they are located in the southeastern part of the southern domain, within the sphere of influence of Ruins Country.

”The Li Family of the Tidal Lake... aren’t they struggling for their own survival now?”

Chen Ye racked his brain to recall.

Luckily, Ruins Country was already a very important part of the original storyline.

This place was where Qing Jun rose to power, and the fearsome name of the world-destroying Demoness originated from here.

As for Zhiwei’s rise, it was in Ling Kingdom, the two just happened to be one in the north and one in the south.

Therefore, Chen Ye’s understanding of these two places considerably surpasses that of Yan and Qi countries.

”Hm? You even know about the imperial heir disputes of Ruins Country... forget it, it doesn’t concern us anyway.”

Zhang Chuxi glanced at Chen Ye with slight surprise, yet she seemed quite confident,

”Actually, our sect isn’t afraid of the Li Family of the Tidal Lake. The Lingyin Sect is a direct lineage of Songyang. Songyang Sect back then was on par with Ruins Country; how could it fear the Li Family of the Tidal Lake?”

Uh...

If the sects of Yan and Qi were now merged into one, perhaps there would be some merit.

Chen Ye glanced at Zhang Chuxi: ”Oh? Previously someone was all worried, why is there no fear now?”

Zhang Chuxi was scrubbing her small hands repetitively with Dust Cleaner technique, and replied righteously:

”Instructor Chen, you are seeing it too shallowly. You must know, behind the Li Family of the Tidal Lake is the imperial family of Ruins Country, you should at least show some respect for them.”

Easy to say, if Chen Ye didn’t know the Li Family of the Tidal Lake had a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he might have really believed her.

”You, girl, are quite carefree.”

Chen Ye shook his head, not intending to shatter Zhang Chuxi’s blind confidence.

The Lingyin Sect did indeed have a glorious past, as a direct lineage of Songyang. In its prime, that legacy had one Nascent Soul and seven top-tier Golden Cores.

But that was millennia-old history. The current Lingyin Sect didn’t even have a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so how could it contend head-on with the Li Family of the Tidal Lake, which had a Nascent Soul holding power?

However, Chen Ye was not in the mood to educate this naive little girl on the harsh realities.

He lightly tapped his fingers on the table, his expression turning cold as he asked the most critical question:
