Chapter 23 I am the eldest disciple, so you have to call me Boss

After visiting the fifty-acre spiritual field, Li Yanmo returned to the wooden house. Leng Ningshuang followed behind Li Yanmo, saying nothing, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Li Yanmo couldn't read minds, but he could guess that what Leng Ningshuang was thinking about at the moment was most likely related to the spiritual field.

Li Yanmo did not intend to interfere with Leng Ningshuang's thinking in order to avoid a counterproductive effect.

At this moment, Jian Xin was sweeping the courtyard with a broom. Seeing that Jian Xin was not practicing internal cultivation, Li Yanmo was very relieved. He stretched out his hand and greeted, "Boss, I'm back."

Jian Xin and Leng Ningshuang both cast surprised looks at Li Yanmo.

Li Yanmo also realized his slip of the tongue and immediately explained, "Her name is Jian Xin, she is my eldest disciple, and the three Shens from the Shen family are also my disciples. I usually call them the second and third brothers, so my eldest disciple is naturally the eldest."

Leng Ningshuang's expression was still a little strange, but she nodded.

Leng Ningshuang is a foundation-building cultivator, so she can naturally see through the cultivation levels of the two people in front of her. In addition, given their appearances, she would not think that Jian Xin is really Li Yanmo's boss just because Li Yanmo blurted out the word "boss".

Jian Xin seemed to be thinking about something. He nodded to Leng Ningshuang and turned around to continue cleaning the yard.

"My apprentice is a little shy, sorry," Li Yanmo explained awkwardly.

Leng Ningshuang shook her head and was not angry at Jian Xin's cold attitude.

When Leng Ningshuang saw Jian Xin's unnaturally white hair and skin, she knew that Jian Xin was born with a white disease. Although Leng Ningshuang has never seen a person born with the disease of white spot, she knows the attitude of most people towards people born with the disease of white spot.

Although Jian Xin's attitude was cold, he looked very healthy and energetic, which meant he was well taken care of.

Leng Ningshuang's eyes softened as she looked at Li Yanmo. Now she believed that Li Yanmo had no dirty conspiracy in taking in and caring for those animals.

However, Leng Ningshuang did not forget his main business.

"Brother Li, regarding your... zoo, the soldiers have no ill intentions. Just as you said, we are actually very happy to see someone move those animals out of Risheng City. The only problem is that you are from an unknown source. But don't worry, I will convince the higher-ups to trust you when I return."

"That's a great help," Li Yanmo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was built on wasteland, it could not change the fact that the zoo was located right next to Sunrise City.

The military would naturally consider the possibility that the animals that had eaten the spiritual fruit would go berserk and attack the residents of Risheng City.

If the military sect does not allow it, his zoo bankruptcy plan will fail, and he can only take those tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual fruits home and eat them desperately.

"However, since the Demon Immortal Cult intends to use you to attract the target of the military sect, and openly let you buy all the animals, it means that they are confident that they can turn the animals in your zoo into monsters."

Leng Ningshuang pinched her chin, paced back and forth, and her brows gradually furrowed.

"I will arrange for some help after I get back. If the Fairy Demon Sect sells animals again, I will have to trouble you, Brother Li, to take over all of them. Of course, the Military Sect will not let you bear the responsibility alone. Once this matter is settled, all the expenses incurred during this process will be reimbursed by the Military Sect."

Li Yanmo was nodding at first, but after hearing the latter part, he was dumbfounded.

You actually want him to work for nothing! ?

"No, this is my personal behavior. How can I let the military pay for my behavior?"

Li Yanmo immediately rejected Leng Ningshuang's [malicious intentions] with righteous words.

Leng Ningshuang didn't expect that Li Yanmo would actually refuse. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. Looking at Li Yanmo's upright eyes, Leng Ningshuang felt her nose a little sour.

She hadn't seen such an upright person in a long time.

While expressing her emotion, Leng Ningshuang couldn't help but regret her previous suspicion that Li Yanmo had ulterior motives.

She was just about to disappoint Li Yanmo.

Things have come to this point, if I say anything more, it would be like she is being ungrateful.

"Brother Li, thank you for your help..."

Leng Ningshuang clasped her hands together and bowed.

"It should be."

"Then I won't bother you anymore. Don't worry, as long as I, Leng Ningshuang, am here, I won't let anyone touch your zoo!"

After patting her chest to make the promise, Leng Ningshuang turned around gracefully, but when she pushed open the gate of the courtyard, a strong sense of incongruity quietly spread over Leng Ningshuang's heart.

Although it is a low-grade spiritual field, it is a full fifty acres of spiritual field!

And Li Yanmo is only at the sixth level of Qi training.

How could a sixth-level Qi training master possibly keep the spiritual field under the nose of Qingshan Sect?

Because the spiritual field belongs to Qingshan Sect?

It's impossible. If the spiritual field belongs to Qingshan Sect, then Qingshan Sect will definitely not abandon the spiritual field outside, nor will it close the sect gate.

Unless someone else was protecting the spiritual field, and that person frightened the Qingshan Sect, which wanted to seize the spiritual field, and closed the gate...

The sense of disobedience gradually turned into a stare.

Leng Ningshuang swallowed subconsciously and turned her head stiffly.

In the small courtyard, Jian Xin looked at her expressionlessly, his scarlet eyes were like the sea, clear but boundless and deep.

The cultivation level that could be seen at a glance was now shrouded in fog. The more one tried to explore it, the stronger the oppressive force that was like a natural chasm became.

Leng Ningshuang had only felt this kind of pressure from her own master.

"Master Leng, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Yanmo's gentle voice brought Leng Ningshuang back from her shock. Before she knew it, Leng Ningshuang had been standing in front of the courtyard gate for quite a while.

"No, nothing, goodbye--"

Leng Ningshuang shook her head vigorously and left quickly.

The clothes on my back were soaked with cold sweat without me noticing.

Li Yanmo scratched his head, "Master Leng, what happened?"

Jian Xin lowered his eyes and continued to sweep the dust on the ground.

"Oh, by the way, disciple, I brought you some specialties from Sunrise City."

Li Yanmo gave up after thinking for a while, took out the snacks he bought in Risheng City from the ring, and handed them to Jian Xin with a smile, wanting to see Jian Xin's surprised expression. Unexpectedly, Jian Xin just stared at those things for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Call me boss."

"ah?"

Li Yanmo didn't react for a moment.

"Master, I am your eldest disciple. You call me Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Sister, Second, Third, and Fourth. So naturally you should call me the eldest."

Jian Xin's explanation was convincing, and basically the same as Li Yanmo's previous explanation, but Li Yanmo himself felt that something was odd.

However, Li Yanmo didn't know what was strange, so he didn't think about it anymore.

How could a little girl like Jian Xin have any bad intentions?

"Boss, I brought you some specialties from Sunrise City."

"Thanks."

The corners of Jian Xin's mouth slightly raised and he took the snack from Li Yanmo's hand.
