Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”You guessed right.”

Bai Liuyue’s eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, but there was also a touch of self-mockery.

”More than twenty years ago, during the change of the Celestial Abyss, our Lingyin Sect lost several prodigies, including Su Su’s father, Bai Li. This matter has always been a concern for that girl Su Su, as well as a concern for our Lingyin Sect.”

The old man touched the broken sword in his hand and sighed,

”In recent days, there have been frequent disturbances in the Celestial Abyss, with the outside world in turmoil, and the Duqing Divine Son trapped in the Abyss. That girl Su Su is very stubborn and insisted on coming down to investigate herself, even wanting to find her father’s remains. As her Guardian, I naturally had to follow to protect her.”

Jin’er curiously asked:

”Since Ancestor Liuyue came in with Sister Bai, where is Sister Bai? She... she didn’t encounter an accident, did she?”

Bai Liuyue glanced at the black-haired girl.

This black-haired girl was somewhat of an anomaly among the three young women.

Chen Ye’s eldest disciple, Lu Zhiwei, had a distant and cold demeanor, exceedingly intelligent and almost supernatural, looking hard to get along with.

The second disciple, Xu Qingjun, appeared cute and charming, but for some reason always had an aura of wickedness, with a very offbeat personality.

Meanwhile, the third disciple, Lin Jin, seemed much more normal, being obedient, understanding, and very polite.

Bai Liuyue said comfortingly:

”Good child, don’t worry. Su Su is a child of the heavens and surely won’t run into harm.”

Upon hearing this,

Jin’er sighed and mumbled softly: ”Oh...”

The old man sensed something was amiss, questioning whether he might be experiencing auditory hallucinations due to his old age.

That sigh from the girl earlier sounded like she was almost hoping Su Su would run into some accident?

Moreover.

Did she just secretly retract a strand of Spiritual Fire from her palm?

Hmm?!!

So when this girl approached to show concern just now, she was already preparing to take action, huh?

Bai Liuyue glanced at the seemingly obedient Lin Jin, then at Xu Qingjun, who was in the corner banging a broken bowl and muttering, ”Master is mine”, and finally set his gaze on the calm Lu Zhiwei.

The old man inhaled a sharp breath of cold air, silently retracting his previous assessment.

None of these three disciples of Chen Ye are easy to deal with!

If Su Su enters Chen Ye’s house in the future, she will likely have a tough time, and they’ll truly need to engage in a battle of wits.

Upon thinking of this,

A strange smirk appeared on Bai Liuyue’s face. Honestly, he really wanted to see Su Su have a tough time.

He cleared his throat twice to bring the topic back on track.

”Ahem... In short, the laws of the Celestial Abyss have long been a mess!”

The old man looked down at his shriveled hands and tattered Taoist robe, a flash of fear in his eyes,

”When the Celestial Abyss exploded, I was searching for the Divine Son with Su Su in the Abyss and encountered a rare space-time collapse. To cover for her, I was swept into a corner of time. Though only a few days passed outside, in that corner, it felt like I was battling the evil qi of the Abyss alone for over a decade!”

”My lifespan was forcibly stripped away, leaving me in this exhausted, burnt-out state, and even old injuries from years past have resurfaced.”

The three sisters finally understood what had happened.

No wonder this elder of the Bai Family, who has the Fake Pill cultivation, now appears like a savage.

”So, after splitting the time corner and escaping back to this 3rd Layer, did you completely lose track of Sister Bai?” Zhiwei calmly analyzed.

”Precisely.”

Bai Liuyue chuckled wryly,

”I noticed intense Magical Battle fluctuations here earlier and thought Su Su might be in danger, so I rushed over desperately, only to end up saving you three, which is a fortune amidst misfortune.”

The old man only felt a headache coming on.

There can’t be a situation where both of the Bai Family’s prodigies fall in the Abyss over an ancient person from a thousand years ago, can there?

Besides.

The Divine Son is said to be the reincarnation of the Lord Luoxiao, but is she really the same Lord Luoxiao after reincarnation?

Will she still acknowledge the identity of the Songyang Sect?

Furthermore...

This Lord Luoxiao is also not an easy character.

There’s a mention in the secret records of the Lingyin Sect—a term called the Great Rebellion of Luoxiao.

This rebellion was initiated by the Lord Luoxiao, and it’s the real reason behind the disintegration of the Songyang Sect.

The old man was lost in his own melancholy.

While the three young girls had gathered together and started to discuss.

”Senior Sister, is this person trustworthy??” Jin’er questioned, ”I’ve never seen him in the sect, nor heard of him.”

”Definitely not trustworthy! Quickly let Qingjun suppress this old man!”

The little girl boasted shamelessly,

”Look, Bai Susu has blond hair, but this old man has white hair! It just doesn’t add up! He’s apparently Bai Susu’s ancestor, yet even the hair color is different!”

Funny enough, these words made sense, making Jin’er nod in agreement.

Jin’er regretted inwardly: ”I should have continued the surprise attack earlier... If we had subdued him first, it would have saved us some trouble now.”

The two demon pills rubbed their hands eagerly, ready to act.

Fortunately.

Their senior sister was still very reliable: ”Ahem... Bai Susu’s hair color is not inherited from the paternal side. This person is a Fake Pill cultivator, most of whom in the sect live in seclusion to suppress heart demons; it’s normal if you haven’t seen them. But judging by this person’s aura, it’s orthodox Lingyin mystic art. Moreover, he just now extended a helping hand, which by my observation, confirms he’s indeed from Lingyin Sect.”

The two demon pills looked disappointed.

Qing Jun gazed at her senior sister with frustration: ”Foolish senior sister. Pretending not to know would have sufficed, right? Capture the old man; this is Bai Susu’s ancestor, and we can use her ancestor to threaten Bai Susu in the future!”

Indeed.

Master was right, this girl is the most wicked in the world!

After a round of ”deliberation”, confirming Bai Liuyue’s good intentions, Zhiwei finally revealed the truth to Bai Liuyue:
