Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”I just heard Brother Bai say, you went to find Moonlight Water?”

Susu, Susu, little sister!

These four words fell into Little Susu’s ears, nearly turning her little face dark.

Damn Chen Ye.

Looks like he forgot who the real boss is around here?

Fine if he doesn’t call her master, but now he’s even addressing her as little sister!

Little Susu decided she needed to teach this wildly arrogant guy a lesson early on!

Her mind whirled, and a sweet, innocent smile blossomed on her delicate, doll-like face:

”Oh! Brother... cough cough, big brother, are you feeling better? Susu was so worried about you!”

Knowing it’s Chen Ye,

this call of ’big brother’ might be annoying, but it’s not as sickening as before.

Never mind.

This guy would have to make up for it sooner or later anyway.

”Uh, I’m doing pretty well now.”

Hearing the call of ’big brother,’ Chen Ye felt entirely at ease, responding with a smiling squint.

”Pssh—”

Little Susu gasped, this guy’s smile is so weird! He definitely planned something ahead of time... damn, he actually succeeded.

She tilted her little face up, blinked those big sparkling eyes, and chirped:

”Big brother, you’re really good-looking! But your complexion is as pale as paper, looks like you’re about to die, haha~”

”Is... is it that bad?” Chen Ye shuddered.

Little Susu earnestly nodded, lowering her voice:

”Besides, big brother, if you’d just work a little harder in your cultivation, be as impressive as me, how could you look so broken and shabby now?”

”?”

Chen Ye sensed something was off, this Little Susu, seemed a bit strange?

”So, big brother... you really are just a small fry~! Oh right, right!”

Little Susu raised a finger, feigning innocence,

”Small fry isn’t an insult! It just means, big brother, you’re weak like a little fish flopping in the water, super~ cute! Hehehe!”

”???”

Chen Ye’s old face darkened, Little Susu is actually a despicable little brat!

He had originally wanted to create an image of a gentle, sickly older brother to cultivate some affection with Little Susu.

But hearing these words, he couldn’t keep up his act anymore.

This girl, though young, can’t speak anything nice, not leaving him any dignity, how could he maintain his air of an older brother?

”Bai Susu, hush! How has your father taught you?”

From the other side of the courtyard, Bai Li, who was tending the Spirit Field, frowned.

This girl,

What’s strange about her today?

She hadn’t disliked this Loose Cultivator before?

Lately,

He often heard rumors around the sect that his daughter was becoming more unruly and spoiled... she needed more guidance, he didn’t want his daughter becoming someone who relied merely on her family’s status!

With this in mind, even if Chen Ye was just a regular Loose Cultivator, Bai Li still said:

”Brother Chen suffered serious injuries, how could you speak so carelessly and disrespectfully? Apologize now!”

Oh no!

Little Susu realized belatedly that she let her true self slip in front of her father, without noticing.

But to apologize to Chen Ye... how could a master apologize to a servant!

Bai Li’s face grew stern: ”Hmm?? Not listening to your father now?”

How annoying...

Little Susu bit her lower lip, unwillingly stepping forward half a step, her voice as small as a mosquito’s whisper:

”I’m... I’m sorry, big brother. Susu spoke out of turn... big brother is not a small fry.”

Chen Ye secretly praised this unexpectedly supportive father-in-law.

But seeing Little Susu so aggrieved, he ultimately couldn’t bear it, quickly smiling:

”Hey, Brother Bai, what’s this? Kids say the darnedest things, what Susu said is true. My cultivation is indeed low, if I had Susu’s talent, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state around Celestial Abyss.”

Little Susu sneaked a glare at Chen Ye.

Good to know!

You should just stay at Lingyin Sect honestly for life until you return from your own battles!

An old codger who hasn’t even reached Foundation Establishment dares to take his disciple to such a dangerous place like Luoxiao Grotto Heaven and even provoked Huayue Mansion... When we return, he should be better trained so Chen Ye will understand he’s just a mixed fish!

Bai Li shook his head upon hearing this, sighing:

”Brother Chen, you have too good of a temper. This girl has been spoiled by me and doesn’t know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.”

This bastard!

He was clearly posing as the good guy in front of Dad!

How is his temper good? He never listens to her, and later in bed... *cough* *cough*, he even likes to bully her.

Little Susu gritted her teeth in her heart, but on the surface, she could only go along with the steps Chen Ye gave her, pretending to be ”Big brother is so good, Dad is so fierce”.

”Eh? What are you guys doing?”

With a creak, Qin Jiaming walked in briskly holding two oil paper parcels.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Chen Ye leaning against the wing room door, and... standing beside Chen Ye, there was Little Susu looking so obedient.

Qin Jiaming paused for a moment, then smiled and walked over:

”Big brother! You’re awake! Feeling better?”

Qin Jiaming waved the oil paper parcels in front of Chen Ye, offering in a treasure-like manner,

”Look, I just went to the front street and bought your favorite beggar’s chicken! It’s still warm, and with your body weak now, having some warm meat to replenish your energy and blood would be best!”

With that, she naturally squeezed between Chen Ye and Little Susu, half her body unintentionally or intentionally blocking Little Susu, reaching out to assist Chen Ye’s arm,

”Come on, big brother, it’s windy outside, let me help you into the house to eat.”

Little Susu, forcibly squeezed aside, looked at Qin Jiaming’s solicitous and familiar manner, her eyebrows raised dangerously.

”Favorite beggar’s chicken?”

Little Susu sneered inwardly.

She had been with Chen Ye for so long, knowing full well this bastard had a light taste. This wild woman appearing out of nowhere dares to flaunt ”understanding him” here and try to cozy up?

Moreover, though he’s the past Chen Ye now, he’s still Bai Susu’s man!

Without permission, this woman even wanted to touch his arm just now?!

Little Susu’s inherent territorial instinct was triggered!

”Smack!”

Before Qin Jiaming could touch Chen Ye, Little Susu slapped Qin Jiaming’s hand back.

The sound was crisp and clear.

”Uh... *cough* *cough*...”

The always composed cheap father-in-law’s eyes widened immediately.

Wait, what is his little cotton jacket doing?

”Why did you hit me?” Qin Jiaming held her hand back, looking at Little Susu with grievance, ”He’s my big brother too! And I was here first!”

”Dad said, men and women should not touch!”

Little Susu righteously raised her chin,

”Moreover, Uncle Chen has suffered serious injuries, his meridians are weak. You buy this greasy mundane stuff for him to eat, are you trying to kill him?”

The cheap father-in-law breathed out slowly, nodding secretly,

So that’s why, so that’s why!

It’s understandable, understandable indeed!

Faced with Little Susu’s continuous rebuttal like a barrage, Qin Jiaming bit her lip, wanting to speak but couldn’t, turning aggrievedly to look at Chen Ye:

”Big brother... I-I meant well too, Jiaming just sees you look pale and wants you to eat better...”

*Cough* *Cough*...

Chen Ye coughed twice at the right moment, tactfully avoiding Qin Jiaming’s touch, while gently smiling at Little Susu,

”Jiaming means well too, Susu, don’t blame her. But... my body is indeed too weak to handle supplements now. This beggar’s chicken, Jiaming should keep it for herself. Thank you for your kindness.”

Hearing Chen Ye indirectly ”reject” Qin Jiaming, Little Susu couldn’t help but let her lips curl slightly in a smile.

She thought to herself:

”At least this bastard has some sense of judgment, not being charmed by this vixen!”

”Hmph, not that you can’t have meat... but it must be with my permission...”

Qin Jiaming’s hand holding the oil paper parcel froze in mid-air, she forced a smile:

”Since big brother doesn’t feel like eating, Jiaming won’t insist.”

”But...”

”This inn is crowded with prying eyes. Now that big brother is awake, how about Jiaming accompany you for a walk outside, get some fresh air? Meanwhile... maybe help you remember some of the past.”
