Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”This little girl...”

Chen Ye sat on the bed, almost unable to hold back his laughter.

Who would have thought that the future Demon King of Lingyin Sect was once a proud little girl who stuttered when defending her food?

But,

there was one thing that Chen Ye was quite concerned about.

”Did I really have contact with Bai Susu in the past?”

”From what Bai Li said, Little Susu seemed to have a good impression of me. Perhaps that is why Bai Li saved me and Qin Jiaming, not just out of sheer goodwill. In Qi Kingdom, there are so many innocent loose cultivators being captured, yet he only saved me and Qin Jiaming...”

”So it seems, I owe this little girl once again...”

”However, I forgot this memory because someone deliberately obscured it.”

”But from Bai Susu’s behavior in the future, it seems she doesn’t remember this past either.”

Chen Ye furrowed his brows, a hint of deep apprehension flashing in his eyes.

What kind of powerful figure could have intervened?

Bai Li cares for his daughter as his life, his cultivation approaching the Golden Core.

Even a True Person at Perfection of the Golden Core couldn’t possibly erase their memories without Bai Li’s notice.

Even assuming someone took advantage of Bai Li’s unawareness and managed to succeed, how could such a special identity as Bai Susu’s go unnoticed by the Golden Core Elders once she returned to the sect?

”Could it be a Nascent Soul True Monarch? Or the hidden hand that caused Bai Li’s fall back then?”

Chen Ye took a deep breath, forcing down the churning thoughts within him.

Numerous mysteries intertwined in his mind.

Perhaps,

the key to leaving this world and reuniting with his disciple lies hidden within these mysteries!

”Whether this is a mirage aimed at me or a past recreated by some great power... to break out of it, I must first enter it.”

”But before breaking out...”

...

In the courtyard.

Little Susu was swinging her feet on a chair, puzzled.

”What’s going on...”

”Where did this guy named Qin Jiaming come from? I remember coming to Qi Kingdom with my father, but back then, I definitely never saw any Qin Jiaming or Zhang Jiaming...”

”And who is that big brother?!? Damn it! I, Bai Susu, would never call a man ’big brother’, it’s nauseating, absolutely nauseating!”

Little Susu’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

It must be this strange cultivator called ’big brother’ who somehow bewildered me and my father!

When I see him,

I must get rid of this person without anyone knowing...

Just thinking about having that kind of contact with a strange man,

Little Susu almost retched.

Yet now, she had to endure the disgust and carry on.

”I can’t expose myself.”

”I still don’t know the details of this world... whether I’ve traveled back to the past, or if it’s a historical projection caused by the explosion of Celestial Abyss? But regardless of which possibility, being able to see my father once more is worth it, perhaps I can also discover the true reason for my father’s fall back then.”

Little Susu’s mind spun, her brows slightly furrowed.

Heaven knows what method that Duqing Divine Son used, causing the millennia-old Celestial Abyss to explode, likely throwing the outside world into chaos.

And now that I’m missing,

the Lingyin Sect will surely be shaken, leading to a change in the course of the war.

And what worries Little Susu the most,

is undoubtedly Chen Ye.

She feared that upon hearing the news, Chen Ye would recklessly come to Qi Kingdom to find her.

”Damn it... with Celestial Abyss exploding, the Duqing Sect will definitely be on national alert. This event might even draw attention from the Ruins Country, not to mention those people from Huayue Mansion who might want to interfere again. If Chen Ye comes to Qi Kingdom, it would be a path to his own destruction!”

Little Susu was consumed with anxiety.

She received news from the sect that Chen Ye’s disciple killed two genius figures of Huayue in Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, and severely injured He Qinyuan in the outside world, becoming a thorn in Huayue Mansion’s side, a thorn in their flesh.

”If he goes crazy searching for me outside and falls into Huayue Mansion’s trap...”

The more Little Susu thought, the more worried she became.

She must quickly find out the truth here!

And the first step...

is to get rid of these two seemingly abnormal loose cultivators!

Just as Little Susu was running through hundreds of ways to ”silently and discreetly poison Qi Refining stage loose cultivators” in her mind—

”Creak—”

The wooden door of the side room was suddenly pushed open slowly from inside.

”Cough, cough...”

A young man in a loose green robe, supporting himself with one hand on the door frame, slowly walked out.

”Jiaming, is Brother Bai here? I heard some noise in the courtyard, I suppose it’s...”

The man’s voice was gentle and calm, carrying the weakness of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

He raised his head, his well-defined features falling into Little Susu’s gaze.

In the courtyard.

The little girl, with swinging feet and a mind full of murderous intent, suddenly froze.

”Chen... Chen...”

Little Susu’s lips trembled slightly, her mind buzzing.

Chen Ye?!

No, that’s not right!

Little Susu forced herself to steady her mind, quickly assessing the man before her.

”He’s not the Chen Ye from the future... he’s Chen Ye from twenty-three years ago!”

How clever Little Susu was, she immediately realized.

It turns out, the ”big brother” whom Qin Jiaming addressed and whom her father saved out of kindness was actually the young Chen Ye!

Who would have thought,

she knew Chen Ye when she was little?

What a detestable pervert!

To think he had planned it all along!

Little Susu spat in her heart, but then her eyes suddenly brightened.

Hmm...

The current Chen Ye is just a low-level loose cultivator, isn’t he much easier to manipulate?

”Susu sister, what’s wrong?”

Chen Ye leaned on the door frame, looking at the dazed little girl in front of him, with a slight smile.
