Chapter 24
Master Yunqing looked at Yu Jun: "You already know that you have an immortal body?"
"Yes, I have been different from others since I was a child and have been troubled all along. It wasn't until I saw the video of my senior sister performing the ritual online that I realized there were like-minded people in the world. I came to Lingju Temple to resolve my doubts, but that night a fairy appeared in my dream. The fairy said that I have a fairy body and instructed me that I must become your disciple."
Master Yunqing's gaze was deep as he asked, "What does that immortal look like? And why does he insist that you become my disciple?"
Yu Yun: "Master, I don't know either. The immortal disappeared after he finished speaking."
Master Yunqing sized up Yu Yun, but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down to drink it calmly.
Yu Yun remained kneeling. Seeing that Master Yun Qing had not made him get up, a hint of annoyance appeared in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"As you can see, Lingju Temple is still under renovation, so we can't arrange formal accommodations for you. However, we have added some temporary housing. Go and find a place to stay first." Master Yunqing glanced at Yan Yan and gestured, "Take your new junior brother to choose a place to stay."
Yan Yan nodded: "Yes."
"Junior brother, come with me." Little Shen Mu was the first to run over, striking a pose like a junior brother.
Little Shenmu is very grateful to his senior brother-in-law. Ever since his senior brother-in-law came to Lingju Temple, his seniority as the youngest junior brother has been rising rapidly.
"Thank you for your trouble, senior brothers." Yu Yun then stood up. Being called junior brother by a three-year-old child, he did not show the slightest reluctance. His attitude became even more respectful, giving his junior brothers plenty of face.
As Yu Yun passed by Ye Zi, she solemnly bowed to her and said, "Senior Sister! It is thanks to you, Senior Sister, that I was able to come to Lingju Temple."
"Hmm." Ye Zisheng nodded with an indifferent expression.
Master Yunqing watched Yu Jun's retreating figure with an unreadable expression in his eyes.
Ye Zi also looked at Yu Yun and said to Master Yun Qing, "Congratulations, Master, on gaining another new disciple. The revival of the sect is becoming more and more promising."
Master Yunqing raised his hand and tapped Ye Zi's head with a ruler: "The more the merrier. Another junior brother has arrived. You, as the senior sister, must take good care of him."
Ye Zi: "Yes, Master."
Tianlong Pavilion
Luo Yi opened the door carrying a large bag of food and saw Long Bao lying on the sofa watching TV and eating snacks.
Luo Yi asked with concern, "Long Bao, can you digest all this?"
"I'm easy to feed!" Longbao said, his mouth full, his words muffled. "Master said I'll tell you what I want to eat in the future."
"Okay." Luo Yi took out a phone and handed it to Long Bao. "This phone is for you to use. If you want anything in the future, just send me a message."
Longbao put down the snacks, picked up the phone with her little paws, and looked at Luo Yi with shining eyes: "Brother Luo Yi, you are so nice."
"No problem." Luo Yi took the opportunity to reach out and rub Long Bao's little head. It was so soft to touch.
Luo Yi went to the kitchen to buy tableware but didn't see Luo Hengzhi: "Where's the boss, Long Bao?"
"The gym? After Master finished his cultivation, he went to the gym to train his body. Master is so talented and hardworking. He is truly the most diligent master in the world," Long Bao said with pride.
Luo Yi nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Boss is always self-disciplined. Long Bao, open your own food. I'm going to talk to Boss about something."
"Mmm." Longbao nodded its little head, waved its paw, and opened the packaging.
“Boss.” Luo Yi walked to Luo Hengzhi’s side.
Luo Hengzhi: "How is the Li family?"
Luo Yi: "Li Nao is dead. The surveillance footage has been sent to your phone. It was Master who did it, but Li Nao's death was very strange."
"Everything else is proceeding according to plan."
Luo Hengzhi didn't ask anything more and continued exercising.
Luo Yi didn't leave, but stood aside and continued, "Boss, our grandmaster... also known as Master Yunqing, has taken on another new disciple today."
Luo Hengzhi looked up: "You went back?"
Luo Yi shook her head: "No, Huo Qinglei was supervising the repair site the whole time. He just saw the junior uncles taking someone to choose a place to stay. That person said that he was Yun Qing Zhenren's new disciple, the senior sister... the one he was referring to was my master. He specifically emphasized that he was the senior sister's new junior brother."
Luo Hengzhi listened quietly, her face expressionless.
"Boss, aren't you going back to check on things?" Luo asked when he saw that Luo Hengzhi didn't react.
Luo Hengzhi: "No need."
Luo Yi still wouldn't give up: "Boss, Huo Qinglei can tell that this guy has impure motives. He looks aloof and indifferent, but he's full of ulterior motives as soon as he opens his mouth. More importantly, he keeps mentioning Senior Sister. Boss, this guy is up to no good and is trying to cause trouble. I'm starting to suspect that our Grandmaster and Master are too naive and have been fooled by this guy. Aren't you going back to check on him?"
"Luo Yi." Luo Hengzhi said sharply, raising her eyes to look at Luo Yi with indifferent eyes.
Luo straightened up instantly, adopting a standard standing posture: "Boss, I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds and shouldn't have said so much."
Luo Hengzhi ignored Luo Yi and went to exercise elsewhere.
Luo Yi slapped himself in the face. "You've only been staying at Lingju Temple for a few days, and you've already become so disrespectful. You've really gotten carried away and dare to boss your boss around."
"Stop hitting me. Go back to Lingju Temple and return this. Also, I... will never go back to Lingju Temple again." Luo Hengzhi handed the boot to Luo Yi.
Luo's hand trembled slightly as he took the boots, his eyes glued to Luo Hengzhi's legs. He exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, your leg is healed! It's really healed this time, isn't it, Master...?"
"No." Luo Hengzhi interrupted Luo Yi, "You are not allowed to mention Ye Zi again. My leg was healed by Long Bao."
"Boss..." Luo Yi asked, puzzled.
Luo Hengzhi raised her hand to interrupt, then left the gym and went back to her bedroom to wash up.
Luo Yi couldn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way, and scratched her head: "What happened? The two of them are inseparable all the time and have always been fine. Why did they suddenly become like this? What's going on?"
"No, I have to go back. The boss and Master have fallen out, and now a new person has appeared by Master's side. This is too dangerous. I can't let that person take advantage of the situation and have a chance to interfere in the relationship between the boss and Master." Luo Yi grabbed his car keys and left.
To make it easier to go up the mountain, Luo Yi went to a scrap yard and found a beat-up three-wheeled motorcycle that had been used many times. He parked it next to his boss's pile of limited-edition sports cars.
Luo Yi vowed to remember and carry out this to the death: his facade of being a poor boss could not be ruined!
Longbao: "Brother Luo Yi, you're going out again?"
Luo Yi walked over to Long Bao and squatted down: "Thank you so much, Long Bao, for healing Boss's leg. Long Bao, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll buy it all for you."
"Great!" Long Bao was very satisfied; his life was becoming more and more promising!
Lingju Temple
“Master, this is my girlfriend, Li Xue’er.” Jiang Mo formally introduced the two. “Xue’er, this is my master, Ye Zi.”
"Li Xueer greets Immortal Ye Zi." Li Xueer, who had acted in period dramas, gave Ye Zi a standard bow.
"Hmm." Ye Zi handed over a bottle of pills as a gift for her disciple's girlfriend.
Li Xue'er hadn't brought any gifts with her when she went up the mountain, and felt embarrassed to accept them. She looked at Jiang Mo and said, "This..."
Jiang Mo took it and stuffed it into Li Xue'er's hand: "Xue'er, quickly accept it. The pills Master gave you must be good stuff."
Jiang Mo: "Master, what kind of pill is this?"
Ye Zi: "Youth-Preserving Pill".
Curious about the effects, Jiang Mo urged, "Xue'er, have one and try it."
"Thank you, Immortal Ye Zi." Li Xue'er opened the package, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.
As soon as Li Xueer took it, she felt a warm current flow through her whole body, making her skin feel warm and cozy.
Then, Li Xue'er saw the skin on her hands begin to become white and flawless. Four words that had nothing to do with her came to mind: "skin as white as snow".
Li Xueer has beautiful features, but her looks are only average in the entertainment industry. So, even after many years in the industry, she is still just a minor star. The problem is that her skin tone is a bit yellow, which lowers her overall appearance.
But now she has become fair-skinned, with delicate and smooth skin.
"Jiang Mo, have I gotten whiter?!" Li Xue'er asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Xue'er, you've not only gotten fairer, you...you're so beautiful!" Jiang Mo's gaze was fixed on Li Xue'er's face. Her already outstanding features were now even more three-dimensional and perfect, stunningly beautiful at first glance!
Seeing Jiang Mo's mesmerized gaze, Li Xue'er quickly turned on her phone's front camera to look at her face. She covered her mouth in surprise, unable to believe it: "Jiang Mo, is this really me? I look so good!"
Taking the opportunity, Jiang Mo pulled Li Xue'er into his arms: "Silly girl, of course it's you."
Seeing her disciple's pathetic state, Ye Zi couldn't bear it any longer, so she left the two of them, who were still cuddling together, behind.
"Master." Luo Yi parked his old car and walked into the Taoist temple, looking dusty and tired. He saw Ye Zi running over quickly and glancing around. Luckily, he didn't see the newcomer.
That guy knew what was good for him!
Ye Zi looked at Luo Yi, who was looking around in confusion, with a puzzled expression: "What is it?"
"Senior Sister."
Think of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears!
Yu Jun walked with a dashing gait, a captivating smile on his face, toward Ye Zi and Luo Yi.
"It's this guy!" Luo Yi locked onto the target in a second. Upon seeing the real person, Luo Yi was even more certain... this guy was up to no good!
Yu Yun: "Senior Sister, I have encountered some problems in my cultivation and would like to ask you for advice."
“Okay.” Ye Zi took out the wrapped books and handed them to Luo Yi. “Luo Hengzhi has already guided Qi into his body. Give him these cultivation manuals.”
Luo Yi was thinking about how to get rid of Yu Yun, but when he heard his master mention the eldest brother, he immediately came to his senses and took over: "The eldest brother has already guided the Qi into his body! I didn't even notice. Master, don't worry, I will hand him over as soon as I get back."
"Okay." Ye Zi nodded and looked at Yu Jun. "Let's go."
"Wait..." Luo saw that Ye Zi was about to leave with Yu Jun, and without thinking, he stopped Ye Zi.
"Wait, Master." At this moment, the affectionate Jiang Mo pulled Li Xue'er to stop Ye Zi. Seeing Luo Yi next to him, he politely took the time to call out "Senior Brother".
“Master, could you please tell me what kind of spiritual root Xue’er has? I used to be cold-blooded, and no one dared to come near me, but Xue’er is different. Xue’er is warm-blooded and likes my cool hands.” Jiang Mo pushed Li Xue’er in front of Ye Zi.
Ye Zi glanced at Jiang Mo, then raised her hand and touched Li Xue'er's forehead.
"No spiritual root." Ye Zi answered decisively, and was about to leave when she stopped, thinking of something.
Li Xue'er cannot cultivate and her lifespan is no more than a hundred years, but Jiang Mo's lifespan will also increase as his cultivation level increases. This pair of lovebirds will eventually go their separate ways.
Jiang Mo already had a basic understanding of cultivation, so he naturally knew this as well: "Master, Xue'er is really special. How could she not have spiritual roots? Could Master have made a mistake?"
Ye Zi looked at Jiang Mo and said softly, "She treats you differently, which means you have a destiny in this life. It's fate, and you should cherish it!"
Li Xue'er didn't force Jiang Mo to cultivate. She held Jiang Mo's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, Jiang Mo. It's alright if you can't cultivate. You're fine as you are now."
Jiang Mo persisted, "Master, is there no other way to cultivate?"
Ye Zi's eyes turned sharp: "Jiang Mo, cherish this relationship as it comes. Don't let this originally pure feeling turn into an insurmountable tribulation in the future. It will not only hinder your cultivation, but it will also take your life!"
