Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

This fellow has thick eyebrows and big eyes, yet unexpectedly enjoys gossip.

Chen Ye looked at the face of Wang Fu, which seemed to be filled with ”I understand, I understand it all,” and asked knowing fully well:

”What does Wang Guardian mean by this? Miss Mao is of noble birth; perhaps her visit to Hunyuan City is for family affairs. Wasn’t there word recently that the Mao Family intends to expand externally?”

”Heh! Instructor Chen, everyone knows the Mao Family avoids the world and seldom interacts externally. In the vast Yan Kingdom, only in our Lingyin Sect can one see one or two Mao Family siblings. How could the Mao Family be here for business?”

Wang Fu chuckled and said,

”Instructor Chen, there’s no outsider here. It’s already spread throughout the sect that your relationship with Miss Mao is quite significant. Miss Mao has come to Baopu Peak as an instructor precisely because of you.”

Chen Ye was helpless.

Good deeds don’t leave home, yet these miscellaneous things spread exceptionally fast.

He sighed: ”Wang Guardian, be cautious with your words. The Mao Family indeed has thoughts of coming out into the world. I believe Instructor Mao’s visit this time is for family business.”

What Chen Ye said was not false.

The Mao Family’s reliance on seclusion rests in Heart Slaughter Cave.

Heart Slaughter Cave was where the Heart Slaughter Sword Master passed away, who was ranked seventh on the Long Journey List, with cultivation nearly approaching Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Such inheritance from a great cultivator can easily sustain a Foundation Establishment family.

However.

The Heart Slaughter Sword Master has been deceased for nearly a thousand years. The Heart Slaughter Cave’s flying swords gather dust, grades decline, sword intent disperses, not only unable to support the Grand Array, but also causing the Mao Family to lose a significant Spirit Stone source—though many flying swords there are, they cannot endure endless demands.

Still.

Chen Ye did not expect Mao Qingzhu to suddenly arrive in Hunyuan City.

Wang Fu originally wanted to pursue the matter, but seeing Chen Ye unwilling to elaborate, he refrained from speaking further.

He wisely fell silent.

Occasionally indulging in some gossip might bring one closer, but being stubbornly aggressive without insight only breeds annoyance.

Later.

The two talked for a while about the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven matter before bidding farewell to each other.

After parting with Wang Fu, Chen Ye didn’t delay and hurried back to Feng Shui Pavilion.

This time the opening of Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, Chen Ye, as the leading instructor, naturally was allotted the most secluded and elegant private residence.

He pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance wafted in through the door seam, reaching his nostrils.

It was not the incense Zhiwei had prepared earlier, but a unique feminine scent, warm and reserved, like its owner.

Looking up, one would see a peerless fairy, frowning, supporting her chin with her delicate hand, gazing worriedly out the window.

Her figure was tall and voluptuous, like a ripe peach, yet she radiated the elegance and modesty of a well-bred lady.

The hem of her skirt trailed to the ground, outlining a beautiful waist and hip curve.

Her hairpin had only a simple wooden hairpin, yet it couldn’t conceal the nobility emanating from her bones.

Chen Ye smiled softly, closed the door behind him, and gently called, his voice warm:

”Sister Qingzhu, why didn’t you let me know in advance when you came? So I could prepare a welcome.”

”Brother Ye!”

The beauty’s skirt swayed directly into Chen Ye’s embrace.

A warmth and soft jade filled his arms.

Chen Ye’s heart softened, holding that voluptuous waist, gently caressing her smooth long hair, softly reassuring:

”Sorry to worry you.”

Mao Qingzhu buried her face in his chest, greedily absorbing his scent, her voice muffled:

”Do you know how scared I am... I heard that Yang Qiu viciously threatened to hunt our sect’s disciples. What if Qing Jun and the others encountered Yang Qiu? They are still in the early Foundation Establishment stage while Yang Qiu is already at the sixth-layer Foundation Establishment!”

Saying this, her voice became choked and she couldn’t say anything else, softly pounding Chen Ye’s chest with her fists.

Chen Ye sighed softly.

He knew that since Qing Jun was born, they have been apart more than together, and Mao Qingzhu’s sense of loss and love for Qing Jun is deeper than anyone else.

”Rest assured.”

Chen Ye lowered his head, placing a light kiss on her forehead, speaking with assured confidence,

”You know me well. When have I ever engaged in anything without assurance? Not only is Qing Jun dear to your heart, she is also my disciple. If I didn’t have a thorough plan, how would I let her face danger?”

The warmth on her forehead, coupled with the steady heartbeat of the man, gradually calmed Mao Qingzhu’s anxious heart.

She lifted her head, her large watery eyes looked at Chen Ye, with a hint of hope:

”Really? But Yang Qiu is at the sixth-layer Foundation Establishment...”

”Sixth-layer Foundation Establishment may sound daunting, but it’s not insurmountable.”

Chen Ye laughed and said,

”Let me say it this way: If three early Foundation Establishment True Inheritor Bai were to face a sixth-layer Foundation Establishment Yang Qiu, would there be a chance of victory?”

Mao Qingzhu, upon hearing this, was momentarily puzzled:

”Three True Inheritor Bai? Hmm...”

It seemed there was indeed a chance of victory?

At least it sounded more reliable than three Qing Jun facing Yang Qiu.

Three True Inheritor Bai might indeed have a chance for a comeback, given that True Inheritor Bai at sixth-layer Foundation Establishment could defeat late Foundation Establishment cultivators.

”Doesn’t it sound like there’s a chance of victory?”

Seeing her seriously contemplating with such a cute expression, Chen Ye couldn’t help but chuckle.

Hmm... sometimes she’s as dazed as Qing Jun.

He reached out, playfully flicking her delicate nose: ”And my three disciples, are much stronger than True Inheritor Bai. With their joint effort, let alone sixth-layer Foundation Establishment, even late Foundation Establishment can be fought!”

If Chen Ye said.

The three disciples are much more than stronger than True Inheritor Bai? Especially these two girls, Zhiwei and Qing Jun, can even be described as far superior.

Susu certainly is a genius, ranking among the top in Lingxu Realm.

But compared to Qing Jun and Zhiwei, it’s not sufficient, one being the protagonist by divine decree, the other by divine decree... the antagonist?

In any case.
