Chapter 20: Life Plans of the Youngsters
The incident of Lingxiao Sect being invaded by the demonic cultivators ended just like that, silently.
The three people who had been spitting fire in the Li Tian Palace for a whole day had no idea what happened afterwards.
Feng Yuan felt that this was not a big problem. They had already seen the beginning, development and end of the incident. It was just that the climax, which took up a very small amount of space, was omitted. It would not affect their ability to gain some survival experience based on this incident.
He straightened his face and said, "Teacher Xie is right. If you don't kill people, people will kill you."
Sui Yan nodded and said, "Yes, not only humans, but even insects will kill you. Locusts steal food, mosquitoes suck blood, and in the world of cultivation, they can also cultivate and become locust spirits and mosquito spirits."
Qiu Lu's expression was heavy: "The world of monks is so cruel."
They have been playing with cats and dogs all day long in such a cruel world of cultivation, but they have actually lived to this age.
Qiu Lu thought it was incredible: "How did ordinary people survive? When I was a child, I thought it was amazing to be able to kill a chicken."
"If you can only knock down one target in one breath now, you will be judged as failing by the ancestor." Feng Yuan also felt that it was too outrageous.
He failed the last test and now has twice as much homework as Sui Yan and Qiu Lu.
After hearing from Lin Luo that Jiao Xi could kill thousands of demon cultivators in one breath, Feng Yuan felt a lot of pressure.
They shouldn't have to continue training in Lingxiao Sect until they can kill thousands of demon cultivators in one breath before they can be considered masters. They might as well just learn from him and die.
When I think about it this way, it seems that even mosquito spirits are not that scary. The worst that can happen is that they suck my blood and kill me - no, it is still quite scary to think about it this way.
Teacher Jiaoxi is doing this for their own good.
Sui Yan clenched his fists. "We must practice harder in the future to master our strength, not only to improve ourselves, but also to help other kind people. This world of cultivation is calling us."
Qiu Lu also clenched his fists. "Yes, we carry the future of the cultivation world, the hope of the righteous path, and the Lingxiao Sect's—well, well, actually, all we need to do is stand behind the Sect Master and cheer for her, right?"
Qiu Lu, who could only knock down two targets in one breath, felt that the survival of Lingxiao Sect did not seem to have much to do with her, and she could not decide anything.
Sui Yan, who could knock down three targets in one breath, fell into deep thought. Then she slowly said, "It seems to be true."
Qiu Lu then added, "In fact, cheering behind the scenes can easily influence the leader's thinking, as if it would be best for us to do nothing."
"Doing nothing will still affect the master's mood."
Feng Yuan, who failed the big fish test three times, now doesn't dare to appear in front of Jiaoxi. Jiaoxi gets angry when she sees him.
But now he can understand Jiaoxi's feelings.
How can he, who is so weak, survive in the world of cultivation where even locusts and mosquitoes can become spirits?
Feng Yuan decided never to catch big fish again.
Now he is going to start practicing.
At this time, the door of the main house of Qiulu Cave Mansion was suddenly knocked.
Lin Luo was outside the door: "I made mango oolong milk cream, do you want some?"
Feng Yuan decided to finish his milk tea before practicing.
Lin Luo’s milk tea has always been delicious, and it has never failed, and it can always be finished.
Maybe it’s because they added so much sugar, even if the taste was not very normal, it was suppressed by the sweetness and milky flavor.
No matter how the tea tastes, he must finish the milk floss on top. He will eat as much as he can. This time, Lin Luo sprinkled some crushed nuts on it. Normally, he would feel stuffy if he ate too much milk floss, but this time, a little bitterness was added to the milk floss, which made it seem sweeter and fresher.
It’s not easy. He had eaten milk puff sprinkled with raisins, milk puff sprinkled with fermented rice wine, and milk puff sprinkled with minced meat before.
Minced meat milk eclairs and scallion cakes are the dishes that Feng Yuan can't understand the most in this world.
Qiu Lu was also very touched after eating it.
It’s not just because today’s milk tea is particularly delicious, but also because after discovering Lin Luo’s strength, I feel particularly touched when I drink the milk tea he makes.
She had a pretty harmonious relationship with Teacher Jiaoxi. She had previously heard from Teacher Jiaoxi about Lin Luo's performance on the battlefield.
It is said that Teacher Lin can fly a thousand miles a day with his sword, and even if he is chased by millions of demon cultivators, not a single hair will be pulled out. No wonder Teacher Lin's hair is so black and thick, completely different from that immoral Xie Ding.
Such a powerful cultivator actually always blew up the kitchen in order to let them have food, putting himself in such a dangerous environment. Qiu Lu felt that he could only knock down two targets in one breath so far, which was really a waste of the sect's cultivation.
Although she cannot play a big role in the survival of the sect, as the next generation in the sect, Qiu Lu feels that she should still make some small contribution.
She decided to ask Lin Luo what his expectations were for them.
"Expectations? Hmm..."
Lin Luo felt that this issue needed careful consideration.
This seems to be an issue involving the formation of children's three views.
If we don't have any expectations and just let them grow however they want, it seems like it will discourage them, which is not a good idea.
If we expect them to grow into qualified weapon cultivators, Jiaoxi has set very strict standards. Would it be too much pressure on them if we told them this?
Actually, they were no longer under his jurisdiction. When they chose the path of weapon, they should have moved out of Jianfeng and moved to Qifeng. However, the population of Lingxiao Sect was so simple that it didn't matter much whether they moved or not, so they were too lazy to move. Anyway, they were no longer under his jurisdiction, so he didn't chase them to move.
In short, they are no longer under his control.
It would be more appropriate for them to ask Jiaoxi, who would be able to teach them for a longer time, such questions related to world outlook, outlook on life and values. However, Jiaoxi's answers would most likely be very strict, so he would need to give an opposite answer as a buffer.
"I think it's great that you can grow up freely." Lin Luo looked very warm when he said this.
It was as warm as freshly baked bread from the Heavenly Palace.
What he said really dampened the enthusiasm of the children.
Qiu Lu now feels that their value is no different from that of the cats raised in Lingxiao Sect. They are all guys who have grown up freely under the expectations of their predecessors.
Although they had long known that their strength was of little value in Lingxiao Sect, such an expectation was really too hard to accept.
But speaking of it, if there were no locust spirits and mosquito spirits in this world, it would actually be quite happy to be a cat of Lingxiao Sect.
At least I won’t have to eat minced meat and milk puffs, and I will have clean minced meat for every meal.
...In fact, their status is not even as high as that of cats!
It seemed that Lin Luo's status was not as high as the cat's. When the cat came over and meowed, Lin Luo would obediently cook and clean the poop.
Xie Ding's status was not as high as the cat's. Lin Luo used to only feed him the cat's leftovers. Later, when Xie Xuan wanted to eat, he started cooking for himself.
It’s hard to say what Jiaoxi’s status is. She also cleans cat poop. After studying the jade pendant, she started to study how to clean cat poop quickly and without hurting the cat. “The Way of Instruments, Making Cats’ Lives Better” is still their homework.
Qiu Lu saw through the truth behind Lingxiao Sect.
The Lingxiao Sect is actually ruled by cats. Their value is roughly equal to that of cats. So the Lingxiao Sect is actually...
Qiu Lu straightened his back.
Although they are useless, they have considerable value.
Thinking of this, Qiu Lu realized something.
It is useless for Lin Luo to expect them to grow up freely.
Jiaoxi expected them to finish their homework "The Way of Instruments, Making Cats' Lives Better". She put two robes on the familiar cat and handed it in, but was sent back to redo it. She hadn't done it yet, but luckily Fengyuan, who hadn't done anything about the big fish, was there to help her, otherwise she would have been the one Jiaoxi was angry with.
Qiu Lu was in a bad mood again.
In fact, she has neither the value of a kitten nor the happy life of growing up freely as Lin Luo said. She has to do so much homework at the age of eleven. Her life is so miserable.
How can she live a truly free and unburdened life without homework? Perhaps she will have to wait until she is as skilled as her predecessors.
Qiu Lu thought about it seriously and found that his predecessors, including Teacher Jiaoxi, did not have much freedom.
She felt that doing homework was very tiring, but Teacher Jiaoxi also required her to put some thought into the homework she assigned. Moreover, when practicing, the more you practice, the more familiar you become and the faster your movements become. Teacher Jiaoxi explained and practiced in class with them so skillfully, so she must have done the homework many, many, many times.
Teacher Jiaoxi said that it was her responsibility to teach them well, and it was also their responsibility to listen carefully to the lectures. While they were spending time to receive knowledge of cultivation, Teacher Jiaoxi was also spending time to impart knowledge. The lack of time and the lack of freedom in life they felt were felt by Teacher Jiaoxi as well.
Although she really didn't like practicing and felt that it was very tiring and strenuous, she also knew that it was of great benefit to her. The help that Teacher Jiaoxi gave her could even be said to be greater than that given to her parents.
Teacher Xie has also given a lot for them.
Speaking of which, it seems that only Teacher Lin either drags them to cook together or asks them to exercise. Teacher Lin seems to be really free.
Sometimes Teacher Lin’s class would be taken up by Teacher Jiaoxi, and then Teacher Lin would have more time to cook in the kitchen.
Qiu Lu looked at Lin Luo and asked, "Teacher Lin, how do you manage to be so free?"
“Because I do what I like every day.”
"Things you like?"
"For example, practicing swordplay, researching food, and cuddling and petting cats—everything I enjoy. I can do these things all day long, and I feel free every day."
Qiu Lu was very confused: "Why would you like something as boring as sword practice?"
Lin Luo thought this question was easy to answer: "Because sword cultivation is my profession, and falling in love with one's profession is something every self-disciplined person must do."
"Oh..." What a boring and dull answer.
Qiu Lu couldn't do it, she was not a self-disciplined person.
"Have you finished your homework?"
“Huh?!”
Qiu Lu and Feng Yuan became alert.
Lin Luo stood up, his shadow dragging very long on the ground.
"Although I'm only responsible for teaching physical education, I'm still a teacher after all."
