Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”Your physique is special, from a young age you’ve disliked interacting with outsiders, often speaking coldly and having a peculiar temper towards those cultivators who try to curry favor. It’s rare to find someone you feel close to.”

Little Susu fell silent.

She was the top prodigy of the Lingyin Sect, naturally, not of a mundane physique.

Even Zhang Chuxi possessed a top-tier Bijie Spirit Body, yet Bai Susu’s physique surpassed that of Zhang Chuxi.

She had the rare Tongming Heart Acupoint Body.

People with this kind of Spirit Body have innate sharp six senses and extraordinary comprehension.

The reason Bai Susu was so proficient in the Myriad Phenomena Sword Technique was not only due to her personal effort but was also inseparably connected to this physique.

Simultaneously, she could perceive parts of the emotions of those around her.

From childhood to adulthood, those peers and elders attempting to curry favor with her, no matter how kindly or righteously they pretended on the surface, under the perception of the Tongming Heart Acupoint revealed hidden greed, schemes, exploitation, and even jealousy, all laid bare, making her feel nauseated.

”Yet that fellow is different, although he also harbors vulgar thoughts... lust, hmph, what a pervert! Obviously, my cultivation was achieved early, making my appearance slightly immature... hm, but I feel that in his heart, I’m not that special.”

Little Susu muttered internally.

Of course.

What she didn’t know was that, in the heart of Chen Ye at that time, although Bai Susu was formidable, she couldn’t compare to his apprentice.

Moreover, Chen Ye had his own cheat, needing only to hide and cultivate slowly, becoming invincible sooner or later.

Therefore,

his attitude toward the top prodigy of Lingyin Sect was naturally different from others.

The old father saw his daughter silent and shook his head helplessly.

He earnestly advised:

”This is your first friend, but be careful not to be too stringent with a friend.”

”Everyone has their own personal matters and secrets. Brother Chen and that Miss Qin might truly have something important to discuss. If you interfere in everything due to feeling close, attend to everything with tight scrutiny, it could annoy others, causing the opposite effect. Do you understand?”

Little Susu obediently nodded and replied crisply: ”Father is right, Susu understands.”

Though she portrayed herself as obedient and understanding, acting like she had been taught, little Susu was not thinking like that in her heart...

What friend!

This was her Dao companion!

Give private space?

Should I just watch him openly flirt with unknown women right in front of me?!

Little Susu gritted her little tiger teeth in anger in her heart.

In fact, she was quite open-minded; if Chen Ye felt bored and wanted to take a few concubines or find several obedient tripods to serve him, she wouldn’t care at all.

But one condition, these must have her agreement!

Only she was the Dao companion, others were merely playthings.

Yet now, she had already shown her dislike for Qin Jiaming, but Chen Ye just wouldn’t listen!

”Alas, what to do...”

”I certainly can’t tell Father that Chen Ye is my Dao companion, otherwise he might end up getting eaten alive by Father.”

Little Susu shook her head in distress.

Forget it.

There’s no way to care about so much now.

The priority remains to leave this world.

”This world seems real yet fake...”

”Whether it’s Chen Ye, or Father, or the entire city’s cultivators, I can’t find a single flaw, they all seem like living people.”

”But, no matter how I try, I can’t leave the confines of Chouyun Pass... to be precise, the area of Celestial Abyss.”

...

Elsewhere, Chouyun Pass.

Leaving the inn, greeted immediately by the bustling town atmosphere.

On both sides of the street, loose cultivators were commonly seen setting up stalls, selling various possibly fraudulent magical artifacts, spirit grass, and demon beast materials stained with dried blood.

Chen Ye, draped in a blue robe, walked leisurely.

He did not inquire Qin Jiaming’s intentions, instead, quietly spread his Divine Thought as he walked.

The cultivators seen were vividly lifelike, undoubtedly not illusions.

The two walked silently through two bustling streets, gradually deviating from the center area of Chouyun Pass, arriving at a relatively secluded and rundown alley.

The light here was dim, carrying a faint blood smell in the air.

”Jiaming, there are no shops here.”

Chen Ye stopped, asking calmly,

”Didn’t you say you wanted to help me recall the past?”

Qin Jiaming, who was walking ahead, also stopped.

She did not turn around, with hands behind her back, she tiptoed and whispered:

”Does big brother have nothing he wants to ask Jiaming?”

”I lost a section of memory, now my mind is blank, what could I ask?”

Chen Ye retorted.

”Amnesiac... Jiaming certainly knows, big brother lost his memory, forgetting something important.”

Qin Jiaming chuckled softly,

”But what Jiaming wants to say isn’t amnesia.”

Damn it,

Chen Ye most detested riddlers.

Chen Ye furrowed his brow, becoming increasingly cautious: ”Just speak if you have something to say.”

”Big brother isn’t from this world, right? Came through transmigration, right?”

Qin Jiaming turned around, under the dim light, the girl’s face was covered with a faint shadow.

”!”

Chen Ye was taken aback.

Has she discovered that he’s a transmigrator?

How could that be!

”Miss Jiaming is getting more humorous. What transmigration? I don’t understand.”

Chen Ye’s aura was concealed, yet his tone turned a bit colder.

Qin Jiaming’s tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, exhaling heavily, she chuckled bitterly:

”Big brother, you truly know how to pretend. While you might deceive others, you can’t deceive me.”

”Twenty-three years ago, you were also considered stable, but not as unfathomable as now. Moreover... your attitude towards me changed. In the past, you said... we would stay together forever. Not like now, full of scrutiny and defense.”

Qin Jiaming, with a gloomy expression, stared into Chen Ye’s eyes and spoke clearly:

”You and I are the same, both experienced that massive explosion at Celestial Abyss, transmigrating from the future back here!”

Hearing these words,

Chen Ye’s pupils expanded slightly in darkness, then quickly returned to normal.

Future’s massive explosion?

So that’s what she meant by ”transmigration”!

The heavy stone hanging in Chen Ye’s heart landed with a ”boom,” almost causing him to exhale deeply.

However, immediately, Chen Ye furrowed his brow deeply.

Qin Jiaming was also someone who returned from twenty-three years later with him?

And what did her words mean?

What’s this about being together forever?

He, Chen Ye, when did he incur another romantic debt?

”Big brother is very surprised? Actually... the ones who transmigrated from the future are not only you and me.”

Qin Jiaming blinked, sighed,

”The Celestial Abyss explosion, since it brought you to this world, naturally, it also brought others within Celestial Abyss to this world.”

”This...”

Chen Ye had considered this possibility, but until now, he only encountered Qin Jiaming, the single proclaimed future transmigrator.

However, on second thought, it indeed made sense.

The Celestial Abyss explosion couldn’t have just carried him to this world.

At that time, within Celestial Abyss, there were plenty of Duqing Seven Veins Demon Cultivators, along with numerous fiendish descendants and loose cultivators.

”Could it be that Little Susu too...” Chen Ye’s heart skipped, almost failing to keep a straight face.

No, no, no.

When he transmigrated, his appearance was exactly the same as before.

But Little Susu’s stature was so small now, and she didn’t resemble the future Bai Susu at all.

Did Bai Susu and his apprentice escape during the explosion at Celestial Abyss?

Seemingly seeing Chen Ye’s thoughts, Qin Jiaming paused and lowered her gaze:

”That True Inheritor Bai likely didn’t transmigrate over... big brother, don’t worry. No matter what we do, she won’t discover it. How about Jiaming accompanies big brother now?”

Uh...

What on earth is she talking about!

Chen Ye sneered:

”Miss Qin, watch your words. Promising to be together forever is not something I would lightly commit to. Maybe you’ve mistaken me for someone, or... crafting tales to deceive me?”

”Besides, as you said, if all cultivators from Celestial Abyss came to this world, why don’t I see their traces?”
