Chapter 229 Eldest Senior Sister’s Suspicion Arrives as Scheduled

Li Yingling pushed open the room door and looked up at the sky.

Today counted as a good day. Slight clouds covered the sun, and an occasional breeze blew past.

Although Li Yingling, as a Golden Core Real Person, was long immune to heat and cold, she would still like the weather she liked in the past.

Days like this, where it didn’t rain, the sun wasn’t too strong, it wasn’t overcast, and there was a breeze, were the best weather in Li Yingling’s heart.

It was just that they were somewhat hard to encounter.

Li Yingling lifted her foot and walked toward the deep pool first. Recent days had been a bit strange; Chen Baiqing, whom she could always meet there in the past, rarely appeared there anymore.

When they met, it was in other places, and she always looked very busy.

When they met on the road, Chen Baiqing would just reveal a smile toward her, exchange a few greetings, and then rush away.

Li Yingling had indeed asked Chen Baiqing what she was busy with and if she needed help.

Chen Baiqing just shook her head to indicate—it was a small matter, and it would be resolved soon.

Hearing this, Li Yingling could only nod lightly, indicating that she could call on her if there was a need.

Chen Baiqing nodded her little head while leaving, appearing somewhat... distancing herself from her?

However, this thought was quickly cast to the back of Li Yingling’s mind. The relationship between Chen Baiqing and herself was also unquestionable.

Little Baiqing had actually always been very respectful toward her.

Li Yingling walked to the corridor a bit further from the deep pool. From here, she could see the stone chair by the deep pool.

Today, the stone chair by the deep pool was also empty of people.

Is Little Baiqing busy today as well?

Li Yingling looked for a while, then continued to step toward the main hall.

When Master was free, he would mostly be there. However, the time Master spent there was relatively fixed.

It was generally during some hours in the afternoon. Otherwise, Master might have gone out or be strolling elsewhere.

For example, playing with Little Baiqing by the deep pool.

Or perhaps going to Yuzhou City with Cui Hao.

Nowadays, probably only Li Yingling, who was accustomed to Master’s style, could easily find her own Master.

If others wanted to meet him, they would probably have to leave it to fate.

Master had been a bit strange recently, perhaps because of that matter she mentioned to him last time.

Li Yingling also wanted to go out and take a look on her own. Although under Master’s care, she could indeed live a relaxed and happy life.

But... this shouldn’t be the entirety of her life.

Li Yingling believed that Master might block all the darkness in the world for her, but she should also go see it herself.

To go see this world, to do the things she wanted to do.

Although Fourth Junior Sister couldn’t be considered smart, sometimes she could say words that made sense—there are some things that one must face alone in order to grow.

Li Yingling was different from Li Xingtian; she didn’t insist on going to the Central Province or anything.

She didn’t plan to go to the Central Province, but planned to wander around places outside the Central Province.

Firstly, it was to accumulate experience, and secondly, it was relatively safe.

Li Yingling didn’t propose it on the spot; she only told Master after thinking it through seriously.

That day, Master neither agreed nor refused, but just asked her to wait in the sect for a while.

Li Yingling didn’t ask much and agreed readily.

Actually, Li Yingling didn’t want to part either.

But there are always things in life more important than parting.

Master keeping her behind first, Li Yingling actually didn’t have any other thoughts about it.

After all, it was normal for Master to be reluctant to part with such a well-behaved and smart eldest disciple.

If she had such a disciple herself, she would also be reluctant to let her leave.

Sigh...

It really was her fault for being too thoughtful.

Li Yingling walked to the entrance of the main hall and looked around. However, she discovered that the main hall was empty of people; her Master was not in the hall at the moment.

Speaking of which, Master also seemed quite busy recently.

When seeing Master, Master didn’t speak a few more words to her either.

He would just nod somewhat perfunctorily and leave.

This actually made one somewhat suspicious. When Master was working, how could he not order her around?

Something was a bit off...

Li Yingling turned and walked outside.

Could it be... Master saw that she wanted to go out and venture, so he couldn’t bear to trouble her with work anymore?

Heh, didn’t expect Master to actually have such a tender side.

Really don’t know, on the day she actually leaves, will Master be alone in the room shedding little tears?

On the corridor.

Cui Hao probed carefully with his gaze. Only after not discovering his Eldest Senior Sister did he hurriedly let out a breath of relief.

Now, Master’s plan was tentatively proceeding smoothly. It was almost the final moment.

Cui Hao didn’t want to fail at the critical moment.

As for what Master said about offering a sacrifice to the flag possibly being a joke, getting a beating from Master was definitely unavoidable.

Secondly, regarding this matter, even if Master didn’t say anything, Cui Hao was actually quite concerned.

Although Eldest Senior Sister would occasionally beat him up, actually most of the time there was a cause.

When Cui Hao was beaten, sometimes he also felt he deserved it.

But Eldest Senior Sister was actually very good to these junior brothers and sisters of hers.

At least when Eldest Senior Sister was in the sect, she would always gather everyone present in the sect to hold some activities or go play in Yuzhou City.

Eldest Senior Sister always tried her best to make everyone live a bit happier and let everyone’s relationship be closer.

Aside from Master, Eldest Senior Sister was another person who could maintain the feelings of everyone in the sect.

So regarding Master’s plan, he naturally approved of it very much.

The only thing he didn’t quite approve of was that if the news leaked, Master actually blamed him entirely.

Master should also think about it; Eldest Senior Sister is so smart. If anyone revealed a slight flaw, it was extremely likely to be caught by Eldest Senior Sister.

Especially Fourth Senior Sister, who is silly and dull. She might be hooked completely in two or three sentences.

Of course, Cui Hao also didn’t dare to guarantee one hundred percent that he wouldn’t be seen through by Eldest Senior Sister.

So during this recent period, Cui Hao tried his best to avoid Eldest Senior Sister.

If he really couldn’t avoid it, he would pretend to be busy and leave.

By minimizing the time spent with Eldest Senior Sister, he could greatly reduce the flaws.

As long as Eldest Senior Sister didn’t learn of Master’s plan from here, even if Master still wanted to beat him to vent anger, he would strike lighter.

Cui Hao quickened his pace and walked toward the main hall.

It was just one corner... and Cui Hao saw the person he least wanted to see right now—Eldest Senior Sister!

Cui Hao’s heart gave a small jump, but his face remained waveless. He gave a light smile toward Eldest Senior Sister as a greeting, then intended to slip away unnoticed.

But unfortunately... a jade hand blocked the way.

Li Yingling reached out and stopped Cui Hao, whose expression was somewhat hurried. She didn’t know why, but this Fifth Junior Brother’s expression now seemed... somewhat nervous.

She asked casually, ”What’s wrong with you? Did you cause trouble again?”

The smile on Cui Hao’s face didn’t change: ”How is it possible for someone to cause trouble every day.”

Li Yingling didn’t answer this sentence, just sized Cui Hao up and down with her gaze, as if saying—aren’t you?

Cui Hao felt that the smile on his face seemed to stiffen a bit. Fortunately, Eldest Senior Sister didn’t continue asking these somewhat dangerous questions.

Li Yingling asked, ”Have you seen Master?”

Cui Hao revealed a puzzled expression: ”Master isn’t in the main hall?”

”I just came out of the main hall and didn’t see Master.” Li Yingling changed to another question, ”Is Luoyu still taking her Teacher around Yuzhou City?”

Cui Hao answered ambiguously: ”If they haven’t returned to the sect, probably...”

Li Yingling’s tone was puzzled: ”Why not stay in the sect? Instead, running to Yuzhou City? Isn’t that treating us like outsiders?”

Where is this treating us like outsiders? That’s fearing Fourth Senior Sister would be seen through by you, so they took Li Junzi to stay in Yuzhou City first.

Cui Hao slandered in his heart, but his expression revealed a look of agreement:

”Eldest Senior Sister is right; it is indeed too much like treating us like outsiders.”

Li Yingling nodded lightly: ”Mm, since you also think it makes sense, then come with me to Yuzhou City to find Luoyu.”

”Ah?!” Cui Hao was somewhat dumbfounded.

If they went there, and if the secret leaked, then he wouldn’t be the sucker taking the blame.

”Hmm?” Li Yingling’s expression was suspicious, ”What is it? Can’t go?”

Cui Hao hurriedly replied: ”No... it’s just that they are Teacher and disciple, having fun in Yuzhou City themselves. Isn’t it inappropriate for us to butt in?”

Li Yingling explained, ”I’m just going to take a look. I haven’t met that Li Junzi yet. Regardless, he is Luoyu’s Teacher, and as Eldest Senior Sister, I should go say hello.”

Cui Hao’s mind stormed, trying to find an excuse: ”Will it be in a while...”

But he didn’t finish the sentence.

Li Yingling’s suspicious gaze arrived as scheduled.
