Chapter 82 Pretending to Teasing Long Qi
It was dusk when Lingxiang and the other two returned to the foot of Qingwei Peak. She gave Shoucheng a Spirit Gathering Pill to thank him for his protection, then sent him back to Kuncheng Peak, and then went up the mountain with Rendong.
Long Qi spotted two people carrying baskets coming down the mountain from a distance. He looked closely and saw that it was Lingxiang. She was actually chatting and laughing with someone beside her. He had even come all the way to Xianyunju to see if she had returned.
Lingxiang asked about Rendong's cultivation as they walked, so that she could make plans for his future as soon as possible. Before she knew it, she arrived at Xianyunju. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard a clear cough. She looked up and saw Long Qi sitting in the courtyard carefree.
Lingxiang was suspicious: Why was Long Qi coming to her Xianyunju for no reason? He was sitting so casually, as if he was the owner of Xianyunju.
Just as I was wondering, I heard Long Qi ask:
"Where did you go with him? Why did you take so long?"
Lingxiang laughed when she heard this. "That's really strange. Why does an elder of our sect have to report to a new inner disciple like you before he goes anywhere with anyone?"
Long Qi was speechless for a moment when he was thinking about how to refute when he saw Rendong taking off the basket on his back, which turned out to be a basket of mud bamboo shoots.
Did this girl take this man out just to pick bamboo shoots? Or did this man put down his basket for some other reason?
Digging bamboo shoots, digging bamboo shoots...digging damage?
He actually used this to hurt himself?!
In reality, Jindong was simply tired from carrying a basket of bamboo shoots for so long, and he had no other intentions. After all, he had already reached Xianyunju, so he decided to put it down first. But even if he did it unintentionally, the viewer might have taken it seriously. How could he have known that his actions would be interpreted in this way?
Long Qi walked up to Ren Dong with his hands behind his back and said, clearing his throat, "Are you our new disciple from Qingwei Peak?"
Rendong was startled by the question: "We?" Could this Long Qi also be a disciple of Qingwei Peak? But that day at Wuji Hall, Master didn't say he wanted to take him in as a disciple? Thinking of this, he replied with a "yes."
Upon hearing this, Long Qi said "hmm" and nodded in a proper manner. He walked around Jindong and said words like "not bad" and "okay".
Lingxiang glanced at him and asked, "Why are you showing off in Xianyunju? Are you itching to relax?"
Long Qi was surprised. "Why do you say I'm showing off? I'm the eldest disciple of Qingwei Peak!"
"Oh?" Lingxiang feigned surprise. "Why don't I remember ever accepting a senior disciple? When did you perform the ceremony of becoming his disciple?"
…
"Long Qi and Xin Yi must not be given to Junior Sister to take away to Qingwei Peak. These two have natural and special spiritual roots. It has been hundreds of years since the sect finally received these rare spiritual roots. We can't let Lingxiang mess around!" After a group of disciples were led out of Wuji Hall, True Man Zhaoming hurriedly said to True Man Shangqing.
Upon hearing this, the elders, although they did not agree with it verbally, all of them looked as if they agreed. True Man Shangqing also lowered his brows, as if he was considering what True Man Zhaoming had said.
Although Lingxiang thought so in her heart, she was not a person who could admit it.
"Oh~~ Fifth Senior Brother, you're saying this as if I'd mislead the disciples if I took them in. Could it be that since these two are cultivating with me, I can still order them to do evil?"
Zhenren Zhaoming was so embarrassed that his face turned red. Just when he was about to speak, Lingxiang did not give him any chance. Zhenren Donghui on the side looked at him with sympathy: This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
"Besides, each of you has a high level of cultivation. You can't accuse me of fooling around just because my cultivation is not as good as yours. After all, I have read all the scriptures and historical records in Langhuan Pavilion. I may not be able to recite them all by heart, but I can at least talk about a thing or two. Why can't I teach these two?" Lingxiang said as she walked down the Hunyuan Platform.
When everyone heard Lingxiang's sarcastic tone again, they knew that this girl would make fun of everyone before she would stop.
"Now, fellow senior brothers, apart from our head senior brother who has a rare spiritual root, who else has a spiritual root higher than Long Qi and Xin Yi? You can teach me, but why can't I? Are you looking down on me because my spiritual roots are incomplete? How can you be any better? You're still laughing at me when you're only fifty steps away, like a short-legged senior brother laughing at a short-legged tiger junior sister?"
The two elders Danyang and Danzhu couldn't help laughing at Lingxiang's words. When Lingxiang saw it, she immediately pointed the finger at them.
"Seventh and Eighth Senior Brothers, you two have been hiding in Yinyu Peak all day, hanging out with those beasts and monsters. Do you think you can teach these two well?" As she said this, she pointed her spearhead at the elders on the Hunyuan Stage one by one:
"Besides, Sixth Senior Brother, you've already closed down, yet you're still controlling who I accept as a disciple? Could it be that you've drunk too much of the spring water on Prison Cloud Peak and want to come down to the mortal world to taste the water of the great river? So you're being a little more lenient, aren't you?"
"Don't even mention Fifth Senior Brother. He spends his days either collecting treasures or appraising spiritual artifacts. Among the disciples you've taught, is there anyone as outstanding as Han Yang?"
"Fourth Senior Brother, don't laugh. I've seen you reading the 'Mysterious Heaven Fragments' since you were little. Even after all these years, I haven't seen you comprehend anything. You've already reached a bottleneck in your own cultivation, and how can you possibly teach Long Qi and Xin Yi, two people with excellent spiritual roots and aptitude?"
"Third Senior Brother, please stop acting so indifferent. I saw the expression on your face just now. In all these years of Wuyuwuqiu, I've never seen you ask about the sect's affairs. Why are you so concerned about these new disciples now?"
"Where's Second Senior Brother? You're busy managing the sect's internal affairs. Can you possibly be distracted and teach these two to excel? Besides, you've already taken in Zhao Wuyang, the disciple with the best spiritual roots. Could it be that you're greedy and want to take in all the disciples with scarce spiritual roots?"
"Big Brother, do I need to tell you? He'll have to personally take care of the remaining disciples after you each pick them. He'll have to concentrate on his own cultivation, and he'll have to constantly inquire about the sect's affairs and take charge of the overall situation. He'll also have to deduce good and bad luck and take precautions. How can he properly teach you two?"
As expected, this girl had to call all the elders first. Everyone thought Lingxiang had said enough, but they didn't expect her to start singing again.
"Oh my~ Come to think of it, you all treat me like this because you see that I have low cultivation and no special skills. You old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years always target a weak woman like me. Aren't you ashamed? Why don't you just let me follow your master and save me from being treated like this~" As he said this, he collapsed on the ground and wiped his eyes.
…
Upon hearing this, Long Qi hurriedly pulled Lingxiang aside, glanced at Rendong as if to guard against thieves, and whispered to Lingxiang.
"How can you say that? It was you who asked me to join the sect, saying that it was a temporary training. If I passed the martial arts test, I would go to Qingwei Peak to practice!"
Lingxiang heard this and pinched her chin, pretending to recall something.
"Did I say that? How come I don't remember?"
Seeing her like this, Long Qi frowned and said hurriedly, "Why don't you admit it? You said it in front of Mai Dong at that time. Are you thinking of going back on your word now?"
Ophiopogon japonicus?
Lingxiang laughed when she heard that.
This damn girl won’t remember this unless the sun rises from the west.
…
"In that case, why don't we let these two practice with my junior sister for some time first? With her ability, she should be able to teach them well. As for later, if their cultivation level improves and my junior sister is unable to teach them, I can take them into Youyuan Palace. What do you think, junior brothers?" Shangqing Zhenren pondered for a long time and said, stroking his white beard.
"It's a good idea. It can temporarily reduce the burden on Youyuan Palace and also give her something to do." Zhenren Qianyuan agreed after hearing this.
Hearing what Master Qianyuan said, Lingxiang glared at him, scaring him so much that he quickly said, "It's not a good idea to dwell on this matter too much. I think we should just leave it at that!" As he spoke, he winked at the crowd.
The elders immediately understood and praised it one by one.
Lingxiang naturally wouldn't give up. She leisurely walked up to the Hunyuan Platform and said, "Since you, my fellow brothers, have begged me so sincerely, I will reluctantly accept you two. However, I must receive a token for His Majesty Wuji's Scroll Room. We are all elders from the same sect, and we are fellow brothers and sisters. How can you enter while I can't? Besides, since I have already accepted two disciples with excellent spiritual roots, I can't just stand still, right?"
…
Seeing Lingxiang like this, Long Qi suddenly remembered her relationship with Maidong. The two of them must have been of the same mind. He quickly said, "It doesn't matter if Maidong doesn't remember. Xinyi, Liu Xia, and Wuyang were there at the time. Even if Wuyang was taken in by the Head Elder and Liu Xia became a disciple of the Transmission Elder, there's still Xinyi. He's still in Youyuan Palace now!"
"Speaking of Xinyi, you know his story. Since you insist on joining my Qingwei Peak, then bring him with you! This way, you can have an extra worker for me."
Long Qi was stunned when he heard this. Could this girl even take Xinyi into Xianyunju? How could such a shabby house accommodate so many people?
