Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

This Qin Jiaming is definitely not a good person.

The words being spoken now seem to have a hidden meaning...

”Is she trying to avoid saying something in front of Bai Li, or... has she already set up some sort of trap outside?”

”No, if she wanted to harm me, she would have done it back at the Celestial Abyss.”

”What exactly is her identity? During the explosion at the Celestial Abyss, or in those past memories, what role did she play? Or is she simply a somewhat special cultivator, who just had some interactions with me in the past.”

Chen Ye pondered silently, keeping a calm face.

Nearby, Little Susu suddenly jumped out.

”Alright then!”

Little Susu’s big eyes blinked, her smile sweet,

”Big brother has been cooped up inside for so long, he really should get some fresh air. How about... Susu accompanies big brother too! Susu is familiar with the road to Chouyun Pass!”

Trying to lure my man away alone?

Not a chance!

Qin Jiaming gritted her teeth; she never expected this pesky little brat to butt in again.

Bai Li is right here.

Why don’t you go spend time with your dad instead of hanging around outsiders all day?

”Susu little sister, big brother and I are going to talk about some adult matters, and also help him recall experiences at the Celestial Abyss. You, being a child, won’t be of any help if you come along,” Qin Jiaming coaxed patiently.

”Who says I can’t help!”

Little Susu puffed out her nonexistent chest confidently,

”I’m a Qi Refining Third-Layer cultivator! If we encounter bad guys, I can protect big brother!”

Listening to these two bickering, Chen Ye felt a headache coming on. He thought to himself, if it were the future Susu, there’s no way she’d give Qin Jiaming a chance to argue. She’d probably act without talking.

But Chen Ye knew it wasn’t time for Little Susu to be taking risks yet.

While she might be strong in the future, right now she’s just a regular Qi Cultivation cultivator.

Chen Ye hadn’t figured out Qin Jiaming’s intentions yet, and if she truly had bad intentions, taking Susu along would only increase the risk.

”Jiaming is right, Susu, you should stay in the courtyard with your dad.”

Chen Ye raised his head, looking at Bai Li, who had been silently observing from the courtyard.

Father-in-law’s face... seemed a bit dark.

But strangely, he made no attempt to intervene.

”If it were me, seeing my disciple get close to an unknown cultivator, I would definitely be more cautious, perhaps even stepping in to stop them, especially in a place like the Qi Kingdom.”

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

No, to Susu, he was just big brother this and big brother that; there was no need to be too strict.

Besides, Bai Li’s Foundation Establishment Perfection can completely keep an eye on this ”loose cultivator” like him.

Of course... if it were Chen Ye, he’d certainly take some measures to stop it. After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable, and a disciple needs careful guidance.

”Hm?? Big brother, are you doing something bad with her? Why are you keeping it a secret from me!”

Little Susu squinted her eyes, staring at him dangerously, deciding to take back her previous words. This guy had no insight at all!

Chen Ye suddenly shivered, looking carefully at Little Susu.

”Stare——”

He saw Little Susu pouting, looking very unhappy, full of innocent charm with not a hint of something frightening.

Phew—— It seemed it was just his imagination.

Chen Ye sighed in relief and said with a smile:

”There’s just some business to take care of. Brother Bai, I’ll head out with Jiaming, and also check out the Chouyun Pass market, see if there’s any Spirit Grass beneficial to the Divine Sense.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Li nodded, looking calm: ”Go ahead, come back early. Chouyun Pass is a mix of all sorts, be careful.”

”Thank you, Brother Bai.”

Chen Ye cupped his hands in thanks, then turned to Qin Jiaming,

”Jiaming, let’s go.”

Qin Jiaming looked relieved, nodding repeatedly, and led the way towards the inn’s main hall.

Meanwhile, staying behind, Little Susu, watched as Chen Ye walked away side by side with that woman, and stomped her little boots angrily.

”Damn Chen Ye! Stupid Chen Ye!”

”We’ve only known each other a few days, and you’re already running off with her! And you dare say I’m in the way?!”

”You ungrateful mutt! Let’s see what tricks you have up your sleeve!”

Little Susu stood there huffing, gritting her teeth in her mind, staring at the direction of the courtyard gate, her small fists clenched tightly.

”Alright, stop looking. If you keep it up, you’ll stare a hole right through the wooden door.”

Bai Li set down the water ladle, dusted off the dirt from his hands, and walked slowly to his daughter’s side.

Looking down at her angry little face, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

”Papa!”

Little Susu turned her head, like an agitated little cat, protesting,

”Big brother is clearly badly injured, and that Qin Jiaming insisted on taking him out, she must have bad intentions! Why didn’t you stop them a bit?”

Oh dear.

This girl wasn’t grown up yet, and her heart was already leaning outwards.

”His legs are on him, I can’t just rope him up in the courtyard.”

Bai Li shook his head, sitting down on the stone table nearby,

”And you, young lady... I get the feeling you’re a bit too concerned about this Chen Ye?”

”I, I’m not!”

Little Susu, caught right at her hidden thought, jumped as if she’d been stepped on a tail, stammering in rebuttal,

”I just... feel he’s too weak, and if he dies outside, wouldn’t the pills you gave go to waste, papa!”

Hearing this lame excuse, Bai Li couldn’t help but quietly laugh.

He didn’t expose his daughter’s stubbornness but beckoned her to sit by his side.

”Actually, seeing you so close to him makes your father both envious and a little relieved.”
