Chapter 235: Learning to Say Eggplant

”Why are you here?”

Li Yingling directly reached out and patted Li Xingtian, who was still pretending.

Being slapped twice by his own senior sister, Li Xingtian could no longer maintain his state of feigning handsomeness.

Although it did not hurt, the now-wiser Li Xingtian still pretended to rub his chest.

He smiled and said: ”I cannot be absent for every major event of the sect, right?”

Li Yingling teased and laughed: ”Doesn’t that still have to be blamed on yourself? Did you come back just to ambush everyone here?”

”This is called a surprise.” Li Xingtian answered with a smile, then cupped his hands toward Chu Xingchen at the side to greet him: ”Master.”

Chu Xingchen chuckled and nodded.

Cui Hao walked in carrying the Sugar Warehouse. He took out a string of candied haws from inside and handed it to Li Xingtian:

”Eldest Senior Sister instructed, one string per person.”

Li Xingtian reached out to take it. Li Xingtian, who did not much like to eat, bit into it without hesitation.

He tasted it before speaking: ”Very sweet, very delicious.”

Li Yingling nodded in satisfaction and said: ”Of course, look at who bought it.”

”Really, seeing the deep affection between you master and disciple makes me quite envious.”

Bai Xuanling leaned against the side of the former VIP box on the left corridor. Her gaze shifted to Xie Lingyu as she said:

”Lingyu, come quickly to my arms. Our Heaven Derivation Sect also focuses on loving one another.”

Xie Lingyu’s expression was calm, as if she had not heard Bai Xuanling’s words, and she even turned her gaze to Qinghe, who was snickering to the side.

Bai Xuanling’s gaze also followed there.

Soon, Qinghe could not laugh either.

Because Bai Xuanling’s tone became somewhat subtle as she said: ”Then it is fine if Qinghe comes to let me hug her.”

”No... no way!” Qinghe hurriedly hugged Chen Baiqing’s shoulder and said, ”Little Baiqing cannot leave me.”

If Bai Xuanling wanted to hug Xie Lingyu, she might really just want a hug.

But if she wanted to hug her... that might not necessarily be just a hug.

Qinghe’s words were met with a sneer from Bai Xuanling, but she did not continue to pursue Qinghe.

”Since everyone is here, take your seats. The performance will start soon.”

After saying this, Bai Xuanling turned around and walked into the box behind her first.

Li Yingling pursed her lips and looked at her own master.

Chu Xingchen chuckled softly, reached out, and rubbed Li Yingling’s head, saying:

”Go quickly and choose a good spot.”

”Mm.” Li Yingling responded with a slight nod.

Because the number of people was quite large this time, the Chanlin Temple directly broke through the wall between two boxes to make them into one.

The location here was the best, and a stage had already been set up here.

The Chanlin Temple had fully cooperated with Chu Xingchen’s requests this time.

By now, many commoners were already here waiting for the performance to begin.

But clearly, the start of the performance actually depended on whether certain people had arrived.

Yuan Kong had been waiting in the distance early on. Although when getting along with Chu Xingchen, he himself always seemed to be the one at a disadvantage, in reality, when all was said and done, Chu Xingchen was often the one extending a helping hand.

The most unkind thing Chu Xingchen had done to him was probably using him as a pill quality inspector.

But regardless, Yuan Kong naturally acknowledged Chu Xingchen’s kindness.

Yuan Kong had also exerted great effort for this mobilization of the Chanlin Temple.

Today, he was also waiting in the wings early.

Seeing Cui Hao inside the box gesture to him, Yuan Kong also hurriedly started to prepare.

It took only a moment.

People began to take the stage upon the platform.

Inside the box, Bai Xuanling had a constant smile on her face. Right from the start, she lifted her wine cup and began drinking continuously.

She could even secretly give Chen Baiqing a small sip when no one was paying attention.

Seeing Qinghe also starting to be greedy for the cup on the side.

Although Qinghe did not look much older than Chen Baiqing, her age was indeed not small; anyway, she was older than Chu Xingchen.

Moreover, being a glutton was Qinghe’s label.

So, she let Qinghe have her way.

The main thing was that Li Xingtian also rarely started to taste wine.

Li Junzi appeared somewhat elegant, lightly sipping a couple of mouthfuls.

Lin Luoyu also let herself go, holding her wine cup and starting to drink without refusing anyone.

Cui Hao was the most open, daring to clink glasses with anyone, even acting familiar with Bai Xuanling.

He especially remembered this true immortal with outstanding celestial grace and her heaven-destroying methods; Cui Hao looked up to her to the extreme.

Facing Cui Hao’s toast, Bai Xuanling put on no airs, clinking cups very freely and drinking it all in one gulp.

Watching this, Qinghe rubbed her eyes again and again, as if she had seen the wrong person.

Chu Xingchen did not speak much today, or perhaps he intentionally let Li Yingling take the center stage.

Because most of those present were his disciples, or his friends.

Even though Bai Xuanling actually cared more about Chu Xingchen than those disciples who appeared to have very brilliant talents.

Apart from Bai Xuanling, as long as Chu Xingchen said a few words casually, he would unconsciously become the focus of the scene.

Therefore, Chu Xingchen mostly just raised his cup for simple clinks and did not say much.

Li Yingling naturally understood the situation by now. She also knew that this gathering was very likely held for her.

”Master.” Li Yingling walked over to Chu Xingchen’s side holding her cup and spoke in a low voice.

Chu Xingchen looked over: ”What is wrong?”

Li Yingling said softly: ”You are too shameless.”

”Hasn’t your Master always been this shameless?” Chu Xingchen blinked lightly.

Li Yingling sniffled lightly and said: ”Anyway, just too shameless.”

Chu Xingchen did not answer, but only smiled as he stood up, taking out a few Shadow-Recording Pearls from his spatial ring.

”Wow!” Qinghe’s gaze quickly locked onto them. ”This thing is certainly not cheap...”

Before Qinghe could finish speaking, she was pulled by Xie Lingyu reaching out from the side.

At this moment, everyone stopped drinking and looked at Chu Xingchen.

”Take a few good photos?” Chu Xingchen shook the Shadow-Recording Pearls in his hand.

Although everyone did not quite understand the meaning of ”take a few photos,” no one present was truly a fool.

Looking at Chu Xingchen holding the Shadow-Recording Pearls, they naturally knew what Chu Xingchen meant.

”Baiqing is coming!” Chen Baiqing stood up and leaned towards the master.

”Wow! Qinghe also wants a good spot.”

Li Yingling smiled most brilliantly, having already occupied a spot next to Chu Xingchen long ago.

Li Xingtian put down his wine cup and approached speechlessly.

Xie Lingyu gently brushed her sleeves.

Bai Xuanling sipped from her wine cup, stood up, and stood beside Xie Lingyu.

Lin Luoyu pulled Li Junzi and also walked towards Chu Xingchen.

Cui Hao smiled very heartily on his face, but he chose to stand in the most peripheral position.

Ning Qianqian and Ning Kun, under Chu Xingchen’s invitation, also stood in the most inconspicuous edge.

The Shadow-Recording Pearls bloomed with spiritual light.

A moment later, a group photo of everyone appeared.

Although everyone’s smiles were sincere, they still looked somewhat... hmm... stiff?

Anyway, Xie Lingyu and Ning Qianqian’s expressions were more or less somewhat formulaic.

Ning Kun even smiled without knowing if he was smiling.

Even Cui Hao looked somewhat like he hadn’t quite let go.

Chu Xingchen gently rubbed his chin: ”I can tell at a glance that you have no experience. Let this Master teach you how to take photos correctly. Rest assured, it is very simple.”

Everyone looked over with doubt in their eyes.

Chu Xingchen silently extended two fingers, making a ”V” sign.

”Is this action simple?” Chu Xingchen asked.

Xie Lingyu had experience, so she made the gesture first.

Everyone looked at each other and also made the gesture.

Chu Xingchen, holding the gesture, smiled and said:

”Next, you just need to say eggplant.”

”Eggplant?” Qinghe looked at Chu Xingchen with slightly bright eyes.
