Chapter 122: Domineering Lord Bai
After Lingxiang returned to Qingwei Peak, she only instructed Long Qi and the other two to take good care of the gate and not to neglect their lessons and cultivation. Then she locked herself up, just like last time, and even pasted a talisman on the door, so that no matter how hard Long Qi knocked, he could not open the door.
What made Long Qi even more depressed was that the little brat named A Yuan, who was brought to Zhuyuan by Lingxiang, actually lived in Xianyunju. No one knew who brought him there or if he came here on his own.
Xianyunju wasn't a big place to begin with, and now there was another person, a man! Although this child, whom he regarded as a "man", looked no more than ten years old...
But he is indeed a bit arrogant every day!
Normally, the three of them would take care of Xianyunju according to the rules, either sweeping or repairing it, or they would go to various places in the mountains to collect firewood and look for wild mushrooms and fungus as food.
And this A Yuan just lay in the yard all day long, and I don't know where he got the bamboo chair from. Even though it was early spring and it was very cold, he was as calm as ever, and from time to time he would eat some fruits in his hands to pass the time.
What’s even more infuriating is that he was actually bossing her around. His domineering attitude was exactly the same as Lingxiang’s when he first went to Youran Ju!
And he only treats himself like this!
To be honest, he was really feeling depressed, but he couldn't argue with a child who looked as thin as a bamboo pole, right?
Long Qi was puzzled. They both begged on the streets, so why was there such a big difference?
Even though I have been a coward before, I am at best a scoundrel. To be like him is simply outrageous!
When the elders heard that Lingxiang had truly been confined to her room for reflection, they were all filled with shock and suspicion. They wondered if this little ancestor had truly grown up after experiencing Yuanhui's incident. They were also shocked because, judging by her usual appearance, even though Lingxiang looked like this, she might be harboring some evil intentions.
Especially Master Fuyin. After Bai Wuchang left that day, Lingxiang actually followed him to Qiuyun Peak. She said that she hadn't seen Maidong for a long time, but she was wandering around everywhere. I wonder what strange things he buried in his temple. Before leaving, he even said that she would come often after she received the punishment.
Could it be that Lingxiang had taken a fancy to something of his? Qiuyun Peak was very poor, and those treasures were few and far between. If this little devil really had his eye on it and wanted it, it would only be a temporary pain for him, but it was so annoying. It was really sad.
The elders' guess was absolutely right. After all, they had watched Lingxiang grow up, and no one knew her better than them.
Look, on the surface, Lingxiang's door was closed, and she had a talisman on her wall to practice fasting and reflection, but in reality, she was inside, holding a plate of food and smiling happily. The reason was that Wu Yuan had found a bunch of storybooks for her that day, and now she was lying in bed reading them day and night.
People always say that Maidong has been bewitched by some vulgar reading materials, but when it comes to himself, he has lost all his seriousness and prejudice.
About seven days later, seeing A Yuan lying in the yard, Long Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Yuan, at least you have healthy hands and feet. If you really want to recuperate, you should stay indoors. Why are you acting so arrogantly in the courtyard like this? How can you be so arrogant?"
This kid was actually shouting Lingxiang in the yard just now, and he called her so intimately, which was really intolerable for him!
He...he actually called her...
Call her Xiao Xiangxiang!
Upon hearing this, A Yuan glanced at Long Qi, spat out a piece of grape skin and said lazily, "Don't call me A Yuan, A Yuan, those are my old names. Now you should call me Lord Bai."
…
"Since you and I have made a contract, it is customary for me to change your name so that you can become the Word Spirit." Lingxiang said as she walked around Wu Yuan with a scrutinizing look on her face.
Changing the name? That's interesting. After all, I've already died once, so logically, I shouldn't be able to use the name Wu Yuan anymore. But I was too lazy to think about it. At that time, my heart was full of resentment, so how could I care about these things?
"It's just that naming is a bit troublesome," Lingxiang pondered as she walked up to Wu Yuan. "How about this, since you're dressed in white and look like a white fox, I'll call you Xiaobai from now on."
Xiaobai? Wu Yuan looked embarrassed when he heard that.
"This... I do have a cave after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to give it such a name?"
But Lingxiang's face was full of sincerity.
"Why is it inappropriate? I think the name Xiaobai is very good. It's catchy and vivid. Don't you want it? Then... let's call it Laobai?"
Wu Yuan immediately decided to call her Xiaobai! Lingxiang smiled and said, "Wu Yuan's past has nothing to do with you anymore. I hope you won't look back on the past. From now on, you will be called Xiaobai. You will surely live in peace, happiness, and success in everything you do."
Looking at Lingxiang's crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes, Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
…
Return this seat, return your majesty? He is so young, and has only been in the sect for a few days. He has not learned any good things, but has learned such shameless behavior. I don’t know where Lingxiang picked up such a little beggar.
Just when Long Qi was thinking about teaching this ignorant brat a lesson, Lingxiang's door opened.
"You know what I'm doing in the house, why are you making such a fuss?"
Then she turned to Yuan and said, "It's all over now. Why are you still like this, Xiaobai? Why don't you change back?"
Change back? Long Qi was puzzled, and even Jin Dong Xin Yi beside him was confused. But then, Yuan, sitting on the bamboo chair, smiled and stood up.
"Well, do you think you enjoy reading my carefully selected words?"
As he stood up, spiritual energy lingered around him, and his appearance changed in an instant.
Long Qi was shocked when he saw this. This...
this……
Isn't this the old fox from Cangzhou City?!
Thinking of this, he also exclaimed in surprise. When Xiaobai heard it, his face immediately showed great displeasure.
"What do you mean by an old fox? Have you ever seen an old fox as dashing as me? How can I be related to old age?" He turned to look at Lingxiang, "You know, my name now is..."
He stopped talking halfway because he suddenly remembered that he also disliked the name Xiaobai at that time, but Lingxiang really insisted on it, so he chose a relatively reluctant name.
Xiaobai cleared his throat to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"In short, just remember that from now on, I will be Lord Bai!"
"What do you mean by Lord Bai? He's just a fox that has become a spirit through cultivation. And yet he still calls himself Lord Bai? How shameless of him!"
Long Qi and Xiao Bai were still arguing, but Ling Xiang did not try to stop them. She just sighed softly and said,
"You three have been at Qingwei Peak for some time now, but I've never taught you any Taoist magic. Now that I've lifted the confinement, you should prepare today. Tomorrow, I'll take you to Fourth Senior Brother's Langhuan Pavilion."
