Chapter 24: An Old Friend Sends a Birthday Gift

She guessed that it must be Ningzhu's.

After all, Bai Yunshu didn't like cooking when she was young. Later, she accepted a disciple who, for some unknown reason, ran to the kitchen every day and she couldn't stop him.

Now I have left behind such a bad habit.

Bai Yunshu looked at me with a look of "What do you care, my business?"

"Aren't you going to go check on Yue Daiyuan to see if there are any disciples bitten by dogs?"

She asked Geng Jihuan, and Geng Jihuan put away the medicine he had prepared.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go now. Do you want to come with us?"

Bai Yunshu shook his head.

"No, there's no one worth seeing. I'd rather go back to the peak, close my eyes and rest, and think about what to teach this afternoon. You can go. By the way, are your disciples back yet?"

Is she there to be a mascot? Standing there won't do any good.

Geng Jihuan gets angry when he mentions his apprentice.

"Hey, don't mention those evil disciples. Come back if you want. If you don't want to come back, forget it. I, your senior sister, will leave first."

After Geng Jihuan finished speaking, he flew away on his sword, and Bai Yunshu sneered.

It seems that she hasn't come back yet, otherwise it wouldn't be her turn to sit here and make medicine.

After Geng Jihuan left, Bai Yunshu returned to Musheng Peak.

Remembering that I hadn't watered the fruit trees for several days, I picked up the bucket and watered the fruits one by one.

While watering, she also looked at the marks on the tree.

Each tree has a unique mark on it, either a word or a horizontal line to measure height.

The shortest one is parallel to Bai Yunshu.

The growth of this tree was hindered by Bai Yunshu.

She passed the time. After watering the plants, she returned to the house and sat at the desk reading a book.

If no one disturbed them, everything would be peaceful and quiet, but an uninvited guest came.

A breath that did not belong to Mu Sheng came and fell in the yard, and Bai Yunshu immediately frowned.

"Outsiders are not welcome here, please go back."

Her words were cold, and the person outside the door froze noticeably.

Tao Yiye spoke hesitantly.

"Outsider? Yunshu... I heard you're planning to accept a disciple. Can't you come out and meet Senior Sister?"

She was leaving confinement today and had asked Geng Jihuan to talk to Bai Yunshu, but it seemed Geng Jihuan was unsuccessful.

Bai Yunshu tightened her grip on the book, causing the paper to be crumpled, but she still spoke in a steady tone.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. I won't see you."

She drove the person outside the door away in a distant manner. The person outside the door sighed, which was caught by Bai Yunshu.

"Don't sigh on my peak. Please go back. You are leaving the retreat today. Remember to hold a banquet. I won't go. By the way, congratulations on advancing to the next level."

She spoke in a bad mood, and the person at the door seemed to chuckle, as if they were used to her answer.

"Your insincere congratulations are unnecessary, and there's no need for a banquet. I know you have a grudge against me for not allowing you to resign as Sect Leader."

The person outside the door sounded quite helpless.

"It's not that Senior Sister is being stubborn, but Master has said that the sect will only exist if you are here..."

When Bai Yunshu heard this, he remained silent.

Seeing that there was no movement in the room for a long time, Tao Yiye knew that there was no possibility of meeting today, and slowly turned around.

"Forget it, Senior Sister, I'll be leaving first. If you're free, you can come to Buyu Peak to chat. We're from the same sect, so why make things so awkward?"

Tao Yiye seemed to be preaching a bit, and Bai Yunshu snorted coldly.

"You know we're from the same sect, so why didn't you let me leave back then? There's nothing much to discuss between you and me. You're only here because of Master's kindness. Please go back."

Tao Yiye's face was filled with sadness. He looked at the mountains in the distance and said with a slightly desolate tone, "You are always nice to everyone, but you only speak harshly to me. Yunshu, you and I have known each other for a thousand years..."

Bai Yunshu held his forehead, resisting the urge to throw the book at her and spoke.

"That's enough. I don't have time to listen to your talk about the deep friendship between fellow disciples... The master is busy with all kinds of things, so don't waste your breath on me. Go back soon. Your disciples haven't seen you for a long time and they must miss you terribly. There's no need to come here to make trouble."

Her words were full of thorns, and Tao Yiye was silent for a while.

Her junior sister has been extremely talented since she was young and has been favored by the master. She has always had a good temper, but since she became the head of the sect, he has been unfriendly to her and even refused to see her.

Tao Yiye rummaged in his sleeves for a long time, put down some things, and left.

Bai Yunshu heard no more noise outside and opened the door.

When she was in there, she lost interest in reading and felt extremely depressed.

Seeing something on the ground, she slowly walked over.

It was a top-grade spiritual elixir, with a note underneath.

Birthday gift.

Looking at the three bright big words, Bai Yunshu thought for a while.

Birthday? Immortal cultivators only celebrated their birthdays once every hundred years. Ever since her master's death, she had lost the habit of celebrating her birthday and gradually forgot about it. Furthermore, her birthday hadn't arrived yet in a hundred years.

A few hundred years ago, when Tao Yiye came to see her off, he also left her at the door and left. This time, she said a few words to her, and took advantage of the fact that she had come out of seclusion to want her to go out and see her.

dream.

Bai Yunshu picked up the elixir and threw it into the side room.

There were quite a few such pills in it, but she disdained to take them. Moreover, the pills sent every hundred years were spiritual-replenishing pills, which were just a disguised reminder for her to improve her cultivation.

What the master said she was only in the sect? That's bullshit. She was angry with Tao Yiye, but not about this matter.

Seeing that he was becoming more and more depressed, Bai Yunshu went to Ningzhu House.

She opened the wardrobe, took out the colorful clothes, threw them all on the bed, and lay down in it.

The familiar smell enveloped her, and she was so attached to it that she slowly closed her eyes.

These are Qi Ningzhu's clothes. The bright colors are because she is bright and can handle any color and look good in it.

Yes, she is very pretty. She was like a little dumpling when she was young, and then she gradually became slimmer and became a graceful young lady.

"Will you blame me? Your master is really useless. You can't blame anyone else but yourself..."

She blamed herself for not being able to hate, blamed herself for doing nothing, and blamed herself for paying attention to Yin Huan.

When Yin Huan grabbed her sleeve yesterday, she felt dazed for a moment, as if she could see that smiling face if she turned around, calling her cutely, "Master!"

When she reacted, she hurriedly pulled her sleeve out of her hand.

Bai Yunshu hated herself so much in that moment of trance. She seemed to see Ningzhu standing not far away, looking at her with an expression that seemed like she was about to cry.

At this moment, Bai Yunshu pulled over those clothes, including the lining of small clothes, and covered his face with them all.

Her voice was muffled by the clothing.

"Xiao Ningzhu, your master is going to take in a younger disciple for you, but you won't be able to see it. But it's okay, she will still call you Senior Sister. You will always be my first disciple and will always be special."

Bai Yunshu suddenly smiled.

"However, there are some things I need to confirm... Once confirmed, there will be no room for regret."

How could it be such a coincidence that he could recite the spells that had never been taught to him? She didn't believe that these were written in the storybook.

She murmured as she fell asleep. As for why she knew it was her junior sister, it was because she had no intention of accepting a male disciple.
