Different
Why didn't she go by herself? Of course, it was because she thought about giving the envelope to Brother Xiaosu. If he opened it in front of her...
Just imagining it makes the shame spread from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
Because her handwriting wasn't pretty enough, because her opinions were childish, and because she wrote a lot about "Brother Xiao Su" in the letter.
Changxia noticed Li Bai's hesitation and didn't intend to embarrass her any further, so he put the letter safely in his storage bag.
"I guarantee that the letter will be delivered on time!"
Children's likes are pure and beautiful, and Changxia has no intention of interfering.
Li Bai held the bowl, lowered her head and whispered thank you, senior sister.
As spring passed and autumn came, it was the third month that Li Bai had been in the mountains. She had completely adapted to life in Zangfeng Mountain.
But I still didn’t say a few words to other senior brothers and sisters.
Apart from Zhu Lingyao who delivered the finished clothes and they met once, the other three senior brothers and sisters disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
One time when Li Bai was eating, Chang Xia stared at the bowl, speechless.
She didn't know why it turned out like this.
Changxia still remembers that Tinglan and Bailu went up the mountain at about the same time. At that time, the eldest brother was in seclusion to deduce the star map and never left his courtyard all year round.
Chang Xia bravely took care of two babies under a year old. It was her first time taking care of children as a senior sister, so it was inevitable that there were some things she didn't do well, but she managed to get through it.
Tinglan and Bailu were cheerful at first. When Chen Siyan came to visit, they'd often play around him, begging him to buy them candy. She'd even imagined the four of them practicing swords, getting together, and playing mahjong together. But then Xie Fengxue came out of seclusion, and the two of them gradually became less involved in going out, rarely seeing each other for decades.
Chu Xian, on the mountain, acted like a grown-up. He was about the same age as Li Bai now, but his mannerisms were much more mature. Changxia, who had already raised two children herself, couldn't bear to see him so gloomy and lifeless. So she devised many ways to cheer him up: fireworks, visiting the market, watching magic tricks. Slowly, Chu Xian began to smile more often. Just when Changxia thought she had finally corrected his personality, a few years later, Chu Xian stopped leaving the house.
Tinglan and Bailu had grown up together, so they had company. Chu Xian had always been a loner, and Changxia, worried about him, asked him what he liked. Chu Xian said he enjoyed refining equipment, so Changxia asked the elders of Qianji Tower to build him a small furnace.
Now, only the occasional clanging sound of iron hammering coming from inside made Changxia feel that her fifth junior brother was still fine.
As for the Sixth Junior Sister, her background was unique; she was an alien. She claimed she had inexplicably arrived here from a certain era of the Dharma's end. She was already timid upon arriving, but the Morning Star Mountain shamans figured out her origins and forcibly "invited" her to come.
At that time, Changxia was on a mission outside and failed to arrive in time. Lingyao had suffered a lot when she was rescued by the eldest brother, so that's why Changxia later killed his way through Morning Star Mountain.
After this incident, Sixth Junior Sister became even less willing to go out, and had almost no contact with anyone except Changxia.
Changxia couldn't force her.
Chang Xia was not in a position to talk to Li Bai about these past events, so she looked at the ginger duck on the table, which she clearly hadn't ordered, and changed the subject: "Has Xiao Su made any new dishes recently?"
Li Bai and Zhou Xiaosu became more and more familiar with each other these days. They often exchanged letters, and whenever Zhou Xiaosu learned a new dish, he would send a portion here first.
Changxia was naturally the middleman who delivered the letter.
Li Bai bit her chopsticks and chuckled, tilting her head and saying, "Brother Xiaosu thinks my suggestion is very good."
Chang Xia picked up a piece of duck meat and suddenly said to Xie Fengxue, "That's great. Other brothers make new dishes for their sisters."
Without even looking up, Xie Fengxue said, "Other people's sisters are also sweet when they call their brothers."
Chang Xia whispered, "You said it as if I didn't call you senior brother."
Li Bai didn't understand their clever words. She just felt that the dishes cooked by Brother Xiaosu were getting more and more delicious.
In the afternoon, Changxia suddenly received a summons from the headmaster, asking her to go to the Yunshang Pavilion.
Changxia was a little surprised.
The head of the sect usually wouldn't summon her unless there was something important, but once he summoned her, it was usually for something very difficult to resolve.
Changxia rubbed his forehead with a headache, said something to Xie Fengxue, and planned to go immediately.
It is not convenient to let the master wait too long.
Xie Fengxue responded with a lack of interest.
Chang Xia tasted the flavor and said, "You know"
Xie Fengxue asked Li Bai to go to the other side to practice her Five Elements Technique, and then beckoned to Chang Xia: "If you want to know, beg me."
Changxia sneered and walked away without looking back.
Since Xie Fengxue knew the inside story and still had the mind to joke with her, it seemed that it wouldn't be a big deal.
The Cloud Pavilion is a structure built in the sky. Constructed entirely of floating wood, it comprises a main building, an octagonal tower, and sixty-four auxiliary towers, forming a network of stars surrounding the moon. Each tower can be separated and flown through the air, and when necessary, they can be combined to form a mobile fortress to defend against external enemies. It is the masterpiece of the Cloud Pavilion's predecessors, the formation masters.
Xie Fengxue sometimes calls it a moving turtle shell. After all, when the secondary floors are stacked up to protect the main building, they really look a bit like a turtle.
Changxia was misled by his words and couldn't look at the Yunshang Pavilion for several years. She wanted to laugh whenever she saw it. It wasn't until she went to the Privy Council to work and ran to the Yunshang Pavilion every day to deliver files. After looking at it for a long time, she got used to it and finally felt better.
The highest point of the Yunshang Pavilion was much higher than Qianrenfeng, but Changxia had never been there to see the view. The entire Yunshang Pavilion was densely packed with formations. If anyone accidentally touched any of them, they would be attacked by the entire sect. Although Changxia prided himself on being the second best swordsman in the world, he had no interest in fighting the entire sect.
When she arrived, there were disciples on duty at the Yunshang Pavilion waiting for her. Changxia followed the disciple who was leading her there step by step. The direction they were heading to seemed to be the side hall of the main building. She thought to herself that the matter was a little big, but not that big.
Unexpectedly, besides the headmaster, there was another person waiting for her in the side hall.
Chen Siyan was wearing a white Privy Council uniform. He stood upright for a rare moment and reported to the headmaster in a formal and orderly manner.
Changxia could only hear clearly when he got closer. It seemed like someone was talking about a monster.
"...The resentful woman kidnapped Qiao Songbai and headed west. I'm afraid she'll be able to cross the border in three or four days."
"Our disciples have already laid a tight net at the boundary marker of the Northwest Second Territory. The Resentful Woman wouldn't be unaware of this. If she wants to cross the border, she'll have to cause us some trouble. The biggest trouble there..."
Chen Siyan glanced sideways at Chang Xia and continued, "The biggest trouble there is the Diaoxue Sword that Uncle Bie left there."
Changxia finally understood why she was called.
After all, only her disciple can suppress Bie Jingchun's sword.
Chang Xia bowed to the headmaster, and reluctantly called Chen Siyan "Senior Brother" as a greeting.
The headmaster was a short, fat old man with a long, wiry beard and a single, straight beard. His hair was combed back together, held in place by a jade crown. Combined with the dark golden attire he wore, he looked more like a mortal merchant than a cultivator.
Although the headmaster is indeed talented in business, since he took over Yunting, after a series of operations, Yunting has become the richest sect in the four realms.
Changxia watched Yunting transform from a sect full of fairy spirit to a sect full of money.
But... this feeling is pretty good.
The headmaster stroked his beard and said to Changxia, "Changxia, you heard it too."
It's time to start assigning tasks.
The headmaster continued, "This matter was originally the result of the Privy Council's negligence. We can no longer trouble you with capturing the resentful woman. You only need to prevent the Diaoxue riot."
This means that he should listen to Shen Siyan's orders.
"As for Diaoxue, it is your master's sword. What to do with it is entirely up to you."
This means he wants to pass the buck. After all, Diaoxue is one of the key points of the Four-sided Sword Formation set up by the master. If something goes wrong, it will be related to Shanda. Making the full decision means taking full responsibility.
Changxia remained expressionless and just said that it was all up to the master's orders.
After the headmaster explained some details to them, Changxia and Shen Siyan left Yunshang Pavilion, and she couldn't help but give Yunshang Pavilion the middle finger.
Chen Siyan said expressionlessly, "The headmaster is my master. He has mastered the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. The entire Yunting is within his sight."
Chang Xia scoffed and said, "So what if he saw it? He can't beat me."
Shen Siyan: . . .
It seems to be true.
As the only disciple of the contemporary sword immortal who concentrates on sword training, Chang Xiayue is used to fighting with a level higher than her. Unfortunately, the master's cultivation level is only half a level higher than hers.
The gap between the Half-Step Tribulation Stage and the Tribulation Stage is like a chasm for others, but not for Changxia.
Chen Siyan thought about his cultivation level in the middle stage of fusion and decided not to argue with Changxia.
After venting his anger, Chang Xia suddenly looked Shen Siyan up and down, and after a while he said, "Why are you dressed like a gentleman today?"
Shen Siyan pulled his sleeves and said disdainfully: “Do you know who the next leader of Yunting will be?”
Chang Xia: "I don't know, you know"
Shen Siyan said, "I don't know either, but I want to be one, so I have to behave well in front of my master. I can't let him think that I'm lazy and can't bear the responsibility."
Chang Xia was puzzled: "Now you are not afraid of your master's six Buddhist supernatural powers."
Shen Siyan said: "He must have been pissed off by you just now."
Long Summer:...
Before leaving, Chen Siyan handed Changxia a stack of stories about the resentful woman's past experiences and told her to read them tonight. Tomorrow they would take a shuttle to the boundary marker and wait for the opportunity.
By the time Changxia returned to the pear blossom courtyard with the materials, Libai had already finished her homework for the day. She and Xie Fengxue, one older and one younger, were sitting under the eaves, waiting for her return.
Changxia placed the file on the stone bench under the pear tree and used his spiritual energy to knock down three pears. The pears in June were still a little green, so Changxia used his spiritual power to ripen them. He took one for himself and gave one to Xie Fengxue and Li Bai respectively.
"You knew it was because of snow fishing"
Xie Fengxue took a bite of the plump and juicy pear flesh and said vaguely, "I was observing the stars a few days ago and calculated that there was something unusual at the border."
"Didn't the master say that the problem would only occur in a few days?"
"Hmm." Changxia looked at Xie Fengxue and raised his eyebrows playfully.
"He lied to you. Something bad has happened while fishing for snow." Xie Fengxue said.
