Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

This doesn’t make any sense.

With Bai Li’s cultivation and assets, gathering enough spirit stones for two low tier cultivators to sneak back to the Yan Kingdom would be a piece of cake.

Even the Solid Essence Pill he casually gifted would be worth five spirit stones in the sect, and outside it would be as high as seven spirit stones.

A few Solid Essence Pills could cover the cost of sneaking back to the Yan Kingdom...

Chen Ye’s eyes flickered, and he pretended to have a splitting headache, probing with a bitter smile:

”Jiaming, my mind is really muddled... Since Brother Bai is so powerful, saved our lives, and is generous, why don’t we just directly borrow some spirit stones from him to sneak back to our country? Why take the life-threatening risk of collecting Yin Condensation Grass at the border of the Celestial Abyss?”

Upon hearing this, the worry on Qin Jiaming’s little face immediately fell.

She shot Chen Ye a glare, like a little cat who had been wronged, puffing her cheeks and complaining:

”Big brother! It’s all well and good now that you’ve lost your memory, but back then, I advised you for days!”

”At that time, Brother Bai indeed said he would help us arrange a way out, but you were stubborn, saying things like ’a life-saving grace cannot be repaid, how can we shamelessly ask for money,’ insisting on gathering the spirit stones by yourself and refusing to trouble Brother Bai! The pills, I secretly kept them, otherwise, you’d probably scold me again... Jiaming is most afraid of big brother scolding.”

Qin Jiaming mimicked Chen Ye’s usual tone, crossing her arms in front of her chest, imitating him to perfection.

She pouted her lips, somewhat displeased:

”Big brother... why do I feel like you’re doubting me?”

”There’s no such thing, it was just that the recent storm clouded my divine soul a bit.”

Chen Ye quickly laughed it off.

He didn’t expect that this carefree-looking girl could actually sense his suspicion.

”Oh... I thought so... how could big brother doubt Jiaming? That’s absolutely impossible.”

Qin Jiaming let out a low chuckle, lowering her eyes, and her lips curled slightly, quite pleased.

A wisp of cloud passing over the Celestial Abyss blocked the sun, casting a large shadow on her slightly chubby cheeks.

”After all... if big brother really doubted Jiaming, or even intended to abandon Jiaming...”

The girl spoke softly, her voice sticky and morbid,

”Jiaming would be very, very heartbroken... heartbroken enough to want to cut open big brother’s head bit by bit to see what naughty thoughts are inside.”

Chen Ye’s pupils constricted, and his fingers inside his sleeves formed a technique, forcibly drawing on his depleted spiritual power.

He knew it.

This woman definitely had issues!

The cloud scatteredd at just the right moment, letting golden sunlight fall back on the girl.

”Oops—big brother, you didn’t really take that seriously, did you?”

Qin Jiaming suddenly raised her head, playfully sticking out her tongue, her eyes curved into two adorable crescents,

”I was just teasing you! Who told you to keep such a stern face and ask so many questions.”

Damned woman!

”Uh... haha, it’s just a little surprising, we don’t seem to know each other that well.”

Chen Ye’s cheeks twitched as he sighed,

”You said we only met half a month ago.”

”Oh, maybe we knew each other in a past life? Don’t mind these things.”

Qin Jiaming turned around, hopping on the stones ahead with her hands behind her back, full of energy,

”Let’s go! Look, we can see the sunlight already, we’re about to leave the Celestial Abyss. Since big brother doesn’t remember anything, Jiaming will take the trouble to lead you to Chouyun Pass to find Brother Bai! We better hurry, or else if those stinky monsters from the Celestial Abyss come out, we’re really done for!”

Chen Ye pulled his cloak tighter, his eyes focused on the girl’s light and cheerful silhouette, his expression slightly tense.

A joke?

No.

At that moment, the cold aura that emerged from this girl was definitely not something a normal loose cultivator would have.

”This girl is definitely a monster in sheep’s clothing...”

Chen Ye was alert, raising his guard against this so-called ”Qin Jiaming” to the highest.

He knew well that until the fog of memory cleared, it was not the right time to act.

If he acted now, his weak and damaged body might not be a match for this demoness, let alone finding Bai Susu’s father.

The two of them, one after the other, stepped out of the narrow Skyline.

Once truly outside the range of the Celestial Abyss, the oppressive coldness weighing on Chen Ye’s heart finally dissipated.

What met his eyes was the familiar barren red soil, unchanged from when Chen Ye brought his disciple here.

”Will the disciple come to this world? Or can I see the disciple from before in this world...no, no, the disciple wasn’t even born yet. And perhaps this isn’t the real world, but my memory.”

Chen Ye thought to himself.

He wasn’t certain of the nature of this world.

But, before coming here, the Celestial Abyss underwent a massive explosion, with countless colorful spatial fragments flying around.

Under such circumstances, logically speaking, he wouldn’t inexplicably enter his own memory but was more likely to travel to another space.

A gust of wind swept over, carrying sand and stones, and the air was filled with a faint scent of blood and evil qi.

All the way, while Chen Ye was adjusting his dantian, using Saturn to secretly repair his wounded divine soul, he was also observing Qin Jiaming walking in front.

The more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

On this red earth, there were hidden venomous insects, which would catch ordinary Qi Refining Stage loose cultivators off guard despite their utmost caution.
