When Shen Qingmang returned to Qiongzhi Palace, he remembered that the jade bracelet left by Gu Suihan's mother had been stuffed back into his sleeve by the other party. He took it out, looked at it, and put it into his Qiankun bag.
If I return it to him, he might not accept it. It would be better for me to help keep it and then give it to his Taoist partner later. After all, she, his master, is half his mother.
But...Gu Suihan lived two lives, and died in the Taichu Sect's attack in his previous life. Doesn't that mean he lived for over seventy years? In fact, he's older than me, right?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Shen Qingmang thought of Gu Suihan's coquettish look towards him and dismissed the idea.
Monks have long lifespans and naturally grow slowly. So what if he lives longer than her? He's still an adolescent, isn't he?
Shen Qingmang lay on the couch, closed his eyes and rested for a while, when he suddenly remembered that he had not yet arranged the timetable for the first place in the sports meeting with the guidance of the teachers.
There were twelve major events in the first sports meeting, and more than seventy champions were produced. Each peak sent three teachers for them to choose from. On average, each person had to guide four or five people. What's more, some teachers were popular and many disciples signed up. If a timetable was not arranged, the teachers might soon forget about this matter, and the disciples would feel cheated and easily complain.
She couldn't take care of this matter alone, so she had to ask her master how to arrange it specifically. He was the only one who knew the schedules of everyone in the Taichu Sect.
Shen Qingmang asked where her master was and rushed to the Asking Dao Peak, where she discovered that not only Yun Xuzhou was in the hall, but also her elusive third senior sister.
Speaking of which, Third Senior Sister Qi Yao is also a prominent figure. She and Second Senior Brother Qi Xiao are twins, a boy and a girl. However, they are very different in appearance and personality.
It was through this sports meeting that Shen Qingmang discovered that his second senior brother Qi Xiao was actually a "bully at home". He would only show his fangs and claws to people he knew well, and would be aggressive and aggressive towards everyone. In front of elders he was not very familiar with, he was like a socially anxious person, quiet and docile, and would never say a word unless others took the initiative to talk to him.
Qi Yao, on the other hand, is a social butterfly. There is no one in the Taichu Sect who she doesn't know, and her social circle is not limited to the Taichu Sect. This senior sister has been bohemian and freedom-loving all her life. Unlike Cheng Wuyi who travels around to practice, she is purely traveling. Shen Qingmang admires her character very much, but she seems to be incompatible with Qiongju's aura.
"Hey, Junior Sister. You've come to chat with Master too." Qi Yao's smile faded slightly when she saw her. "I heard your personality has changed quite a bit since you came out of seclusion. Could we have a good chat sometime?"
"Qingmang is always here for you, Senior Sister." Shen Qingmang gave her a friendly smile and looked at Yun Xuzhou: "Master, that..."
"Qingmang, you've come at the right time. Please persuade your senior sister. She is really whimsical. She said she wants to marry into Chaohua Palace. Isn't that nonsense?" Yun Xuzhou interrupted her with an angry expression.
"Ah?" Shen Qingmang regretted coming here at this time and getting involved in this matter.
The original novel doesn't dwell much on the Third Senior Sister, but there's a brief mention of her marriage. Approximately thirty years later, she married a male cultivator from the Chaohua Palace. Before that, she had been arguing with her master for years, hoping to gain legal permission, but Yun Xuzhou refused. When she finally got married, only Qi Xiao saw her off; no one else attended, leaving her feeling utterly lonely.
Yun Xuzhou had always been a good person to talk to. He treated his position as the Sect Leader like a mascot, being very tolerant towards everyone. Shen Qingmang didn't know why he was so adamant about this matter. He glanced at Qi Yao and asked tentatively, "Master, why do you think Senior Sister is being unreasonable? Is there something wrong with that male cultivator?"
"He's from the Chaohua Palace. What good person can come out of the Chaohua Palace?"
Before Shen Qingmang could respond, Qi Yao immediately retorted, "What's wrong with Chaohua Palace? We're both immortal cultivation sects, so how can we distinguish between the two? Chaohua Palace uses emotions to enter the Tao, which is also a serious way of cultivation."
"Hasn't Chaohua Palace caused a lot of trouble over the years? Go and ask around among the major sects. Which sect hasn't had people whose feelings were toyed with by the disciples of Chaohua Palace? Some have even been devastated and their path to cultivation has been cut short!" Yun Xuzhou slammed the table.
"Master, don't be angry." Shen Qingmang advised.
Qi Yao laughed. "Master, what you said is true. There are so many cultivators whose relationships have broken down. Are you blaming it all on Chaohua Palace? Aren't there any other sects that have unfaithful and unfaithful men? Besides, I'm not that naive. How could I be fooled?"
"How dare you mention yourself? Even your master is too embarrassed to say anything about you. Ah Yao, count how many men you've fallen in love with in the past four hundred years? As others mature, they tend to like those of equal status. But you, on the other hand, always prefer those in the Qi Refining Stage!"
Shen Qingmang was dumbfounded. After digesting the meaning of this sentence, he looked at Qi Yao with a bit of admiration.
"The little Daoist friends in the Qi Refining Stage are so interesting. They are young, cute, and obedient. They always look at me with admiration. It really melts my heart to be dependent on them."
"What about this one this time? Another Qi Refiner? You're trying to form a Dao Couple Contract with him now, only to cancel it when he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage? Is marriage a joke?"
"Tan Lang is my destined lover. I fell in love with him at first sight. There will be no one else for me from now on. I can swear!" Qi Yao raised his hand. "If I betray him..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Who wants to hear you swear? Your junior sister has something important to discuss. Please step aside. This matter is non-negotiable."
"Master, please think about it carefully. I will come again." Qi Yao stood up, bowed, and left calmly.
Shen Qingmang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yun Xuzhou stared at her for a long while before suddenly saying, "Qingmang, choose a day to form a bond with Mingli."
"W-what?" Shen Qingmang jumped back.
How did this fire burn on her head? She was just a spectator just now!
Yun Xuzhou's face darkened. "Master is old, and can't protect you for many more years. Your senior sister is tossing around like this, and I will never allow her to do that. You must not be like her either."
Shen Qingmang sat next to Yun Xuzhou, in the seat Third Senior Sister had occupied. "I have no intention of romance. I simply respect my elder brother. Master, please don't try to match us up."
"Since you're not attracted to anyone, why not choose the one you trust the most? You're going to get married eventually, and I don't want you to be wronged by others."
Shen Qingmang took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "Master, why do you think I must get married? Besides, Wuya Peak is my home. I am already satisfied with having relatives and friends around me."
"Master..." Yun Xuzhou stood up and walked over to her. "Master recently told you a fortune."
Shen Qingmang stood up suddenly. "Didn't I tell you, Master, to take good care of yourself? Divination will shorten your lifespan. Why are you so impulsive?"
Yun Xuzhou touched her shoulder. "Don't worry, Master is fine. But you, the hexagram indicates, will have a bumpy road in love."
