The afternoon sun was warm and pleasant. Li Mingke lay on a recliner in the courtyard, rocking back and forth with a creak. She had just taken a bath and smelled wonderful. Wearing a loose-fitting women's dress, she enjoyed the gentle touch of Long Yinshuangshuang as she dried her hair.
She let out a comfortable sigh.
"Once my eyes recover, I'm going to ask my master to teach me the most powerful immortal techniques! I'm the only disciple of the head of the immortal sect, how can I disgrace my master! Besides, someone has to inherit his mantle, right?"
Long Yinshuangshuang watched Li Mingke happily shaking her head, hesitated again and again, and finally spoke with difficulty, "Keke, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
What happened? It can't be anything worse than her going blind, can it?
"Auntie, tell me!" She could handle it!
"...Well...maybe you don't need to follow Immortal Venerable Jinyun to learn cultivation; you can just learn the Li family's family tradition..."
"Why?" She sat up, and although she couldn't see, her head still instinctively turned towards the speaker.
“Immortal Venerable Jinyun…” Long Yinshuang stammered.
"What...what's wrong with him?" Li Mingke suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Master...ascended to immortality?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"No..." If he ascended to heaven, it would be easier to handle.
“Keke…you are no longer the only disciple of Immortal Venerable Jinyun. He…has taken on another disciple.”
Li Mingke: ...
Unexpected!
How did Li Mingke become the disciple of Immortal Venerable Jinyun? Through connections! Her family used money, coercion, and bribery to practically force her into the position!
"My master's newly accepted disciple... is he from which family?"
To be accepted as a disciple by Immortal Venerable Jinyun, his family background must be no worse than hers, right?
Could it be a princess or a prince?
Oh, most likely not, because all the princesses died recently, and the princes have already become emperors.
"...No, she is an orphan, with no one to rely on."
An orphan girl? That means she has no connections?
If that's the case, then there's only one last possibility!
"Is she a once-in-a-century genius?"
"Probably not."
Long Yin Shuangshuang thought for a moment, "That person probably isn't a genius, is he?"
Li Mingke was going crazy. Why was that? She had neither a good background nor any special talents. It couldn't possibly be because she was good-looking that Immortal Venerable Jinyun fell in love with her at first sight, could it?
"She's beautiful? My master has fallen in love with her? He can't live without her?"
Long Yin Shuangshuang clapped her hands: Congratulations, you got it right!
Upon hearing this news, Li Mingke felt as if he were digging in the ground and had unearthed a fish.
In short, it can be summed up in one word: absurd!
Who is her master?
Seal your heart and lock away your love!
He was always cold and expressionless, like someone with a facial paralysis.
Now they're actually saying that he took a woman as his disciple because he took a fancy to her!
For a moment, Li Mingke felt as if the whole world was an illusion.
When Long Yinshuangshuang saw her like this, she thought she was saddened by losing her status as the "only disciple," but she was also afraid that she had secretly fallen in love with her master during their time together, which was why she was heartbroken.
If it really is the second possibility, wouldn't we be going down the same old path as in our past lives?
“Keke…” she gently shook the dazed person.
"Ah...ah?" Li Mingke came back to her senses.
"Keke, don't be sad..."
I'm not sad!
What did she have to be sad about? She was just shocked!
"Now that I can cultivate, I didn't expect my master to take on another disciple. Won't she compete with me for cultivation resources!"
So that's what she was worried about!
Long Yinshuangshuang let out a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, as long as I don't date, anything is fine!
She put her arm around Li Mingke's shoulder. "Keke, although Immortal Venerable Jinyun is the head of the immortal sect, he has never taken on any disciples. Even though he did take you on, he didn't offer you any guidance, which shows that his experience is not very rich. Keke, why don't you cultivate the Li family's tradition? It has been accumulated over a thousand years and passed down from generation to generation. It will definitely be more experienced than Immortal Venerable Jinyun and more suitable for you. Besides, as the young master of the Li family, everything in the Li family is yours. Are you worried about not having enough resources?"
What do you mean everything in the Li family belongs to her? Why is her sister, Li Pinyue, excluded?
"But the moon is more beautiful than me..."
“Hey~” Long Yin Shuangshuang interrupted her, “Although Yue’er is stronger than you, she is not the young master after all, and she still has to be ranked after you. Everything she does is to serve you.”
Li Pinyue is only two years younger than Li Mingke. Although Li Zengqing didn't say it, it didn't stop Long Yinshuangshuang from believing that Li Pinyue was born for Li Mingke.
The eldest daughter's status is special, and any mishap could lead to unforeseen events. Having a second child not only stabilizes the Li family's foundation and serves as a precaution, but also, if she remains loyal to the eldest daughter, along with the entire Li family, if something were to happen, she might not be able to escape unscathed.
But Li Mingke was a little angry when he heard this.
Yue'er was already more capable than her. If it weren't for her mother's insistence on making her the young master, she would have readily relinquished the position to Yue'er without hesitation.
A family should be led by a capable person.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that." She felt uncomfortable. "Let's continue talking about Master's new disciple. By the way, what's her name?"
After all this talk, I haven't even asked her name yet! But she's just an orphan, so her name is probably a fairly common one.
"Her name is... Lin Banjian."
puff--
Even without drinking water, Li Mingke still choked on his own saliva.
"Ahem, Auntie, what's her name?"
"Lin Banjian."
Li Mingke covered his head, his temples throbbing with pain.
"Are parents these days crazy? Why choose such a name of all? Is 'half-see' a good word? It has a terrible meaning! Besides, there's a cautionary tale about what happened to that person. Haven't they seen what happened to them?"
Lin Banjian and He Banjian, there are two of them around her alone, and there may be many more in other places!
Banjian has become such a common name!
It seems we still need to focus more on education!
"Could it be that Master took her as his disciple because she shares the same name as that person?"
"You guessed right. Not only that, she looks exactly like that person."
thump--
Li Mingke rolled off the recliner.
She rubbed her bottom, her voice trembling, "Could she...could she really be the reincarnation of that person?"
"There's a 99.99% chance it's because she has a pair of exquisite eyes."
Li Mingke sighed and thought, "How could that be? It's definitely, certainly, and undeniably true!"
The white moonlight that Master has been longing for has returned, and it's even a reincarnated white moonlight after death, making it incredibly valuable. What right does she have to compete with "Lin Banjian"? Pack your bags and hurry home!
She grasped Long Yinshuangshuang's hand, "Auntie, I think you're right, I'll still follow the Li family's tradition!"
If she goes back, the First Line of Sky will be quite a scene!
A grand, live-action romance fantasy drama unfolds before her every day, so she doesn't need to do anything else. She can just buy a bag of melon seeds, grab a small stool, and watch the show while munching on melon seeds!
Oh, I forgot one person!
Demon Lord Luan Hua, how could the other male lead be absent?
A melodramatic storyline involving two men vying for one woman is bound to unfold.
The male leads will definitely use all their charms, and the female leads will definitely waver back and forth, loving him today and loving him again tomorrow. Fighting in the rain, dancing on the rooftop, they will definitely escalate the situation one after another.
One is his fiancée whom he raised himself, and the other is his wife of many years. Both of them wronged her in their past lives, and they are determined to make amends in this life. Given their stubborn and competitive natures, the war between immortals and demons will likely be staged once again.
She gripped Long Yinshuangshuang's hand even tighter. "Auntie, I need to cultivate diligently, so that I won't become a pitiful cannon fodder in the war between immortals and demons!"
Longyin Shuangshuang: ?
Li Mingke couldn't sit still any longer when she thought that the future would most likely follow her plan.
"Auntie, quick, bring me my books, I want to start studying!"
"What book?" Long Yin Shuangshuang asked, puzzled. How could someone who is blind read a book?
"Any book will do, as long as it allows me to cultivate and save my life!"
Long Yin Shuangshuang looked suspicious, but considering that Li Mingke was still a patient and that his identity as a disciple of Jinyun Immortal Venerable was no longer unique, she brought out a few books to appease her.
Li Mingke held the book up to his eyes and realized that he couldn't see it at all; of course, there was no Braille on it either.
Li Mingke: ...
If you accept someone as your apprentice today, you can accept him as your wife today.
If you receive it today, you can have it in your room tomorrow!
Her cultivation speed definitely can't keep up with their speed of... well, you know!
As expected, she was destined to be cannon fodder!
This is the first time she has expressed her hope for world peace.
