Chapter 51 My Junior Brother's Happy Life (Part 9) My Junior Brother, I'll Spoil Him...

Before heading to Qingyun Sect, Song Ce led Qin Nian'an slowly toward Miaoyin Tower.

“Immortal Master, you’re inside… Oh, which sect are you from? You look unfamiliar. I’ve been guarding the gate of Miaoyin Tower for so long, and this is the first time I’ve seen you bring your child to visit Miaoyin Tower like this.”

Song Ce asked frankly, "Are children not allowed here?"

"Of course it's allowed." A-Da smiled sheepishly, "I was just worried that you wouldn't have a good time with the young master."

"Brother." Qin Nian'an cleverly covered her eyes, "An'er can't see anything right now."

Song Ce smiled and followed A Da into the Miaoyin Tower.

"Madam Qin! We have a guest!" Ah Da shouted to a middle-aged woman in a purple dress.

"Oh my, this immortal has arrived at just the right time..." After Madam Qin saw Qin Nian'an in Song Ce's arms, she paused and scolded A'da, "A'da! I think you've been drinking too much of that brothel wine all day long. How could you bring someone with a child in here?"

"Oh dear, my good lady, we have guests at the door, and I dare not turn them away!" Ah Da quickly begged for forgiveness.

“Madam.” Song Ce paused slightly, took out a high-grade spirit stone from his storage bag and presented it to Madam Qin: “I just brought my younger brother in to broaden his horizons and have some food with him.”

Seeing this, Madam Qin accepted the high-grade spirit stone with a beaming smile. She immediately smiled and scolded Ah Da, "Ah Da, how much yellow wine did you drink today? Don't you have any sense? These immortals are here to eat. Why don't you quickly lead them to the best private room upstairs to serve them? Little immortal, please, please come quickly."

Song Ce nodded and replied, "Thank you for your trouble."

Ah Da carefully led the two brothers up to the second floor. But from the most central private room, a woman's groan came from within, "Immortal Li, please be gentle..."

Ah Da glanced at the door and looked reluctant.

At this moment, the two Tianyuan disciples at the door looked at the slow-moving group and placed their spirit swords directly in front of their chests: "If you keep looking, watch your dog eyes!"

"Yes, yes, Immortal Master, I'm sorry, I'll take the guest away right away." A'da hurriedly bowed and apologized, leading Song Ce to a private room on the far right.

"What was that just now?" Song Ce asked gently, looking at A'da who was about to take his leave.

Upon hearing this, Ah Da immediately lowered his head and said, "I...I don't know."

"I was just a little curious." Song Ce placed Qin Nian'an on the low couch, then casually took out a spirit stone and handed it to A'da: "Thank you for showing me the way."

Seeing this, A-Da quickly grabbed the spirit stone in his hand: "Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master! Ah, it's nothing really. Just now, that private room was booked by Immortal Master Li, an inner disciple of the Tianyuan Sect. Immortal Master Li has a certain... hobby. Whenever the girls go to serve Immortal Master Li, most of them come out half dead!"

Ah Da sighed and continued, "No matter how precious the girls of our Miaoyin Pavilion are, they are still just mortals in the end. In the eyes of the immortal, they are just like ants and bugs on the roadside... Sigh, look at me, why am I saying all this nonsense to the immortal? Immortal, please have some spiritual tea first. The meal will be served shortly. I will take my leave now."

Song Ce casually said "okay".

After Ah Da left, Qin Nian'an jumped up and snuggled into Song Ce's arms: "Brother, why are we eating here today?"

Song Ce patted Qin Nian'an's head: "Be a good girl, An'er. I have something to do today. After we finish eating, you stay in the room and wait for me to come back, okay? Here, take this."

After saying that, a gold and jade necklace with a longevity lock hanging from it appeared out of thin air in Song Ce's hand. A small jade pendant was embedded in the longevity lock, and a mysterious incantation was engraved on the jade pendant.

“Okay!” Qin Nian’an replied obediently.

After the two brothers finished their meal, Song Ce set up a barrier in the private room. Unless someone's cultivation level was higher than his, no one could enter and harm Qin Nian'an.

Song Ce touched his forehead with two fingers together, and in a flash, he appeared at the wide-open window of Li Xuanzhi's private room.

Inside the private room, Li Xuanzhi was using magic to bind the mortal woman dressed in a revealing gauze dress, and said with a smile, "Little beauty, you'll soon see how powerful I am."

Upon hearing this, the mortal woman turned pale. In the eyes of this immortal master Li, they were nothing more than playthings to amuse themselves, and he never knew how to hold back when he attacked them... She frantically tried to think of what to say to please this immortal master Li, when her eyes inadvertently swept across the open window in the room and she happened to see the young man leaning casually against the window frame.

"What? Even at a time like this, you still dare to daydream in front of me?" Li Xuanzhi snorted lightly.

"Immortal Master Li... Immortal Master, someone is coming..." the woman said in a trembling voice.

"A person?" Li Xuanzhi suddenly stopped stroking his hand, then slowly turned his head to look in the direction the woman was looking. At that moment, a young man in a white wide-sleeved robe was leaning lazily against the wide-open window.

Li Xuanzhi noticed the top-grade spirit stone hanging from the newcomer's waist almost immediately, and his pupils dilated slightly—it was him! The cultivator who had bought Yuehua Chang at a high price at the auction!

"Your Excellency's arrival so late at night is perhaps impolite," Li Xuanzhi said, shoving the woman aside and adjusting his robes with displeasure.

"Etiquette?" Song Ce's gaze swept coldly over Li Xuanzhi. "You, a beast in human form and a wolf in sheep's clothing, dare to talk about etiquette?"

Although Li Xuanzhi was usually arrogant, he wasn't stupid. Seeing the newcomer so arrogant, coming alone in the dead of night, he knew he was definitely an enemy. He almost immediately activated his spiritual power, his figure shooting out like an arrow, rushing towards the tightly closed door of the private room.

Song Ce smiled faintly, "Stop."

Li Xuanzhi was horrified to discover that his spiritual power seemed to have instantly failed. Even though the gate was right in front of him, it felt as if he was carrying several mountains on his back, and he couldn't move an inch.

"Help! Help! Someone's trying to harm me!" Sensing the person slowly approaching from behind, Li Xuanzhi no longer cared about saving face and screamed desperately at the door of the private room.

“A futile struggle.” Song Ce walked over, bent down slightly, and said in a very good-natured manner, “I have already set up a restriction here. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you.”

Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Li Xuanzhi immediately realized that he was not joking. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Senior, is there some misunderstanding between us? I have never met you before, and I certainly have not done anything to offend you. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize in advance. There are a few precious magical treasures in my storage bag at my waist. You may take them as you wish."

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Once he gains his freedom, he will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold in the future.

"I wonder if Immortal Li still remembers Elder Qin of the Qingyun Sect?" Song Ce asked with a smile.

Li Xuanzhi frowned slightly upon hearing this, trying hard to recall, but still had no clue. "Senior, this junior does not know. Please enlighten me."

"Very well, very well." Song Ce's expression was calm, but a dark storm was brewing in his eyes: "Then let me be more explicit: Hejiu Mountain, the secret realm, the protective pill. Now, do you remember?"

"You? It's you? That mid-stage Golden Core cultivator? No, no, who exactly are you?" Li Xuanzhi exclaimed in disbelief.

"The mid-stage Golden Core cultivator you mentioned, whose name you don't even remember, is the master who raised me since I was a child," Song Ce said coldly, looking at Li Xuanzhi who was slumped on the ground.

The words of pleading that Li Xuanzhi had been preparing vanished instantly, replaced by panic and fear. Having always been pampered, he forced himself to remain calm despite his terrified state, saying, "Hmph, I didn't kill your master. Even if you're seeking revenge, you shouldn't be coming after me!"

"Oh, you mean him?" Song Ce chuckled softly, took out the God-Slaying Cauldron from his hand, and kindly handed it to Li Xuanzhi.

Li Xuanzhi's pupils widened as he stared intently at the figure inside the God-Slaying Cauldron, a figure resembling a dead dog. This person was missing all four limbs, and wisps of ominous black mist emanated from the severed wounds. Listening closely, the figure was still muttering, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

"Master Li, do you still recognize him?" Song Ce asked calmly.

"It's...it's Immortal Changmi!" Li Xuanzhi was terrified. He knew he might not escape this calamity today, but he still forced himself to say, "If you dare to hurt me today, my Tianyuan Sect will never forgive you! My master has a wisp of my soul inside him. If something happens to me, my master will be able to find me immediately. At that time, you won't be able to escape even if you grow wings!"

"Really? You want to call your master? I'll help you."

As Song Ce approached step by step, Li Xuanzhi's voice trembled: "You...you don't come any closer, my father, my master, I..." Before he could finish speaking, Song Ce's expression suddenly turned cold, and the flames on his two fingers instantly transformed into a rocket, piercing straight into Li Xuanzhi's chest.

Instantly, the flames expanded rapidly, engulfing Li Xuanzhi completely. Li Xuanzhi cried out in pain, "No, no... I don't want to die... I don't want to die! Senior, please, have mercy!"

Li Xuanzhi endured the burning pain of the flames and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"As I just said, I've already summoned your master. Now, let's wait together," Song Ce said calmly.

At this moment, Wudao Zhenren, far away in Tianyuan Sect, suddenly opened his eyes. "Not good!" Wudao Zhenren immediately formed hand seals and pulled out his disciple's life tablet. At this moment, the life light on the tablet was weak and slowly cracked from the bottom.

The Daoist Master Wudao almost instantly extracted Li Xuanzhi's soul and sped off in the direction indicated by the soul.

"Disciple, wait for your master! You must hold on!" Master Wudao prayed silently in his heart, desperately urging the spiritual power in his body. He quickly found Li Xuanzhi's location, transformed into a stream of light, and teleported to Li Xuanzhi's side.

"Master! Master, save me!" The moment Li Xuanzhi saw Wudao Zhenren, his eyes lit up instantly, and he knelt on the ground, crying and begging.

Looking at Li Xuanzhi's miserable state, Wudao Zhenren's face showed a hint of anger, but he did not act rashly. His gaze lingered on Song Ce's face for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"
