Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”What golden house conceals a fair maiden?” Chen Ye laughed wryly, stepped forward, and easily removed an array. ”Inside, it’s a hostage.”

”Hostage?”

The two women were simultaneously dumbfounded.

”Creak—”

Chen Ye pushed the door open, pointing at the cold and arrogant girl tied up with demon vines, sitting cross-legged in meditation in the corner, and said blandly:

”There she is. The Yan Kingdom’s Hidden Dragon, True Man Dongshan’s beloved disciple, Gu Tangyin.”

Having been confined for more than half a month, the girl’s lips were pale, and she looked somewhat haggard.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she lifted her eyelids and looked over coldly.

”What?”

Upon recognizing the person inside, Bai Susu was dumbfounded.

She had encountered Gu Tangyin a few times; both were prodigious daughters, and they were quite courteous when they met.

Once,

The two were chatting and laughing at the first floor of Hunyuan City.

The result...

The once proud Hidden Dragon was now miserably confined in her dao partner’s storeroom?

But observing her manner, it wasn’t quite Chen Ye concealing a fair maiden in a golden house, but at most, she was a captured Tripod Furnace.

Given that she was a Tripod Furnace, it was no big deal. This Hidden Dragon’s talent might even help Chen Ye’s cultivation increase significantly.

”Gu Tangyin?”

Bai Susu blinked her eyes. Folding her arms, she arrogantly looked down at the other,

”Tsk, it really is Gu Qianlong from Huayue Mansion. Back in Hunyuan City’s first floor, you held yourself in such high regard. How have you ended up as such a miserable prisoner now?”

”Bai Susu... did you come explicitly to laugh at me?”

Gu Tangyin’s voice was hoarse, her gaze indifferent.

Bai Susu shrugged indifferently, not taking Gu Tangyin’s powerless rage seriously.

In terms of talent, she was the Lingyin Sect’s prodigious daughter unseen for centuries, incredibly confident, how could she fear a Hidden Dragon from Ruins Country?

In terms of background, this is the territory of Yan Kingdom’s Lingyin Sect, not the backyard of her Huayue Mansion.

”Chen Ye, I underestimated you. This woman is True Man Dongshan’s cherished apprentice, yet you dare to lay a hand on her.”

Bai Susu remarked with a hint of curiosity.

Something seems off, Chen Ye doesn’t strike me as someone blinded by lust.

On the contrary, he is always disciplined and cautious, not swayed by external objects.

Chen Ye smiled nonchalantly, briefly recounting how Gu Tangyin and others planned a Spirit Lock Array to ensnare their master and disciples at Linsong Valley’s back mountain.

Hearing Chen Ye’s account, the two women’s expressions shifted slightly.

”How domineering Huayue Mansion is! Without even asking, they want to cross the line into our Lingyin Sect’s territory and ambush a peak master?!”

Mao Qingzhu clenched her fingers tightly, full of lingering fear.

”Such boldness!”

Bai Susu’s pretty face became icy, her eyes burned with unmistakable killing intent, erasing the earlier playfulness.

”Coming to our Yan Kingdom to kill our Lingyin Sect people? Gu Tangyin, as the True Inheritor, I declare you have a death wish!”

Faced with Bai Susu’s homicidal intent, Gu Tangyin turned her head away, coldly responding:

”The victor becomes the king, the loser is the thief; I have nothing to say. If only Qian Jin hadn’t fled the battlefield, today’s outcome might be unknown!”

”Stubborn to the end.”

Bai Susu sneered,

”You think Chen Ye is soft-hearted, so I will be as well?”

Gu Tangyin closed her eyes, showing indifferent disdain.

Ridiculous.

Do they think severe punishment could make me submit?

Since Chen Ye hasn’t intended to humiliate her, what fear does she have of Bai Susu’s punishment?

”You don’t think I’m planning on torturing you severely, do you?”

Bai Susu saw Gu Tangyin’s martyr-like cold arrogance and suddenly laughed.

She knew that physical torment meant nothing to Gu Tangyin and might even become a steeling stone for her dao heart.

”Chen Ye,”

Bai Susu turned her head, clutching Chen Ye’s arm,

”To deal with a fairy who values purity and pride more than life, rather than extraction and torment, only by bringing her to dust, making her know true humiliation, can one truly quench the hatred in my heart!”

”Daring to harm my people... you will treat her as the lowest-grade Tripod Furnace and viciously harvest her! Let’s see if her proud bones can remain unyielding!”

Upon these words, Gu Tangyin, who had been keeping her eyes shut, trembled her long eyelashes, those autumn-water-like eyes opened, a flicker of panic flashing in her eyes.

”Bai Susu! You dare—!”

Chen Ye heard the words, and rubbed his brow with a sense of helplessness.

Annoying!

Why is it not only Zhiwei, but even Susu always bringing up this harvesting nonsense?

Am I, Chen Ye, this kind of person?

He glanced at Bai Susu, who was righteously resentful on his behalf, lightly coughed, interrupting her spell-casting process:

”Susu, don’t be hasty. As far as I know, True Man Dongshan has been painstakingly nurturing her, having other desires for her Spirit Body. Her pure Primordial Yin Qi is the key. If we were to seize her Primordial Yin, not only do we greatly diminish our bargaining chip, but provoke True Man Dongshan into a frenzied retaliation, it’d indeed be a costly mistake.”

Gu Tangyin, hearing this, hadn’t had time to relax her cold breath, yet felt a discomfort in her heart due to Chen Ye’s revelation of her master’s secret desires.

This guy, even now, is still stirring gossip, it’s truly laughable!

But Bai Susu, upon Chen Ye’s reminder, was first slightly taken aback, and unknown images seemed to flash in her mind, her cheeks suddenly tinged with a noticeable blush.

She glanced sideways at Chen Ye with some embarrassment, her eyes flowing with a bit of playful annoyance, muttering in a low voice:

”Who said harvesting... must involve seizing her Primordial Yin?”
