Chapter 73 The Pure Realm is Silent, the Desolate Sky...
Taiqing remained silent. Cangli was beyond redemption; he had only lived for about twenty years, while Tongtian was tens of thousands of years old and still so naive.
Cang Li was exhausted from crying and found that this person smelled quite nice, like the scent of spring water. Cang Li sniffed, then comfortably nestled in the person's arms to sleep, having already forgotten about her drunken outburst earlier.
Tongtian saw that Taiqing's eyes showed strong disapproval, and he immediately explained:
"It's not my fault she's like this! When she was drinking with Cang Li in the human realm before, she was a pretty good drinker, she could at least drink a whole jar! Who knew she would be like this after less than three cups today!"
That's right, let's distance ourselves first. In short, we can't keep him in solitary confinement. If we keep him locked up, won't he lose face?
Taiqing was a little stiff at this moment. He hadn't felt it when he had just lifted Cangli from Tongtian's arms, but now that Cangli was nestled in his arms, Taiqing felt strangely uncomfortable, yet he was reluctant to let go.
Tongtian continued, "That Cangli guy turns on me after drinking. I even gave her a storage bag full of magical treasures. When I gave it to her, she called me her godfather and wanted me to become her sworn brother. But after she got the storage bag, she called me a witch who was trying to scam someone! Scamming someone is definitely not a nice thing! When she wakes up, I'm going to beat her up!"
Taiqing: "...Knowing that Cang Li couldn't hold her liquor, you still gave her alcohol. You brought this on yourself, so how can you blame her?"
Tongtian: ...
Tongtian's expression changed slightly: "Big brother, you've changed."
Taiqing glanced indifferently at Tongtian, who pursed his lips, then remembered the important matter and his expression turned serious. He handed the Xuanyuan Sword to Taiqing.
"Brother, look at this sword. I've never seen this sword before among the humans. Where did Cang Li get this sword? Isn't she using the Primordial Holy Sword?"
Taiqing looked down at the Xuanyuan Sword. He also found it strange. He had never seen Cangli use this sword before, especially such a fierce one.
Tongtian continued, “This sword is unusual. Brother, you may not know this because you don’t use swords, but I am a swordsman. My Four Immortal-Slaying Swords are fierce enough, but they are weapons forged from killing demons and gods in the chaos. They cannot compare to this sword. The evil aura and resentment on this sword are too heavy. There are even traces of it being reforged. Even this cannot cover up the evil aura. Where did Cang Li find this sword?”
Taiqing frowned, took the Xuanyuan Sword and examined it for a while, subconsciously trying to calculate it, but to no avail. He couldn't figure out the origin of the sword, which was very unusual. Logically speaking, he had become a saint, and he could deduce the answers to any question in the world if he wanted to.
Seeing Taiqing's expression, Tongtian grew even angrier at the Xuanyuan Sword. He reached out to take the sword back, but Taiqing, holding the sword, dodged it and said to him:
"I'll take the sword with me. I'll return it to Cang Li after he sobers up."
Tongtian was taken aback: "Why give her such a fierce sword? Brother, aren't you afraid that Cang Li might accidentally get swallowed by the sword?"
Taiqing simply said, "Don't worry, she... won't come to that."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his cave with Cang Li in his arms.
Tongtian only gradually came to his senses after Taiqing's figure disappeared.
Is something wrong with his older brother? He could have easily summoned a spirit beast to carry Cang Li back, so why did he have to personally carry him back? Isn't this a bit too intimate? His brother never carried him like this when he was little!
Tongtian was puzzled, but he realized that Taiqing hadn't asked him to continue his seclusion. Tongtian was delighted, rolled up his sleeves, and summoned his disciples to spar, while also imparting his knowledge and skills.
Taiqing carried Cangli back to his cave. There was no one else in the cave; he preferred quiet. Apart from Xuandu, who lived nearby to serve him, Taiqing did not instruct any boys or girls to serve him.
Xuandu hasn't returned yet, so there's no one else in Taiqing's cave.
Cang Li nestled on Tai Qing's shoulder, nuzzled his face against Tai Qing's neck, and mumbled something unintelligible.
Taiqing placed the Xuanyuan Sword on the table, looked at the jade bed with only a futon, hesitated for a second, then waved his hand to remove the futon and replaced it with a soft brocade quilt. He then carefully placed Cangli on the bed, and just as he was about to get up, he noticed that Cangli was holding a strand of his hair.
Cang Li held on tightly. Tai Qing bent down and stood by the bed for a while before reaching out to cut off the strand of hair. He then got up, left the bed, and walked outside the cave. Cang Li was completely unaware. He turned over, curled the blanket around himself, and slept soundly.
Taiqing sat outside, a look of confusion in his eyes.
When he brought Cang Li back, he was extremely happy, even more so than when he became a saint, and even felt a sense of having lost something and found it again.
All of this is because of Cang Li.
When Xuandu returned, he saw his master sitting at the door in a daze, which was very unusual for him. His eyes were unfocused and he was definitely not in a meditative state.
"Master?"
Xuan Du tentatively called out.
Taiqing snapped out of her daze, setting aside the barrier that had almost been breached in her mind. Taiqing asked:
"Why did it take you so long?"
Xuan Du quickly explained what had happened after he encountered Cang Li on the way, and then asked:
"Master, has the Great Chief arrived?"
Taiqing nodded: "We've arrived. Your junior uncle was being silly, dragging her to drink, and now he's drunk and sleeping inside."
Xuan Du nodded: "Oh, he got drunk and went to sleep...!"
Xuandu looked at the cave dwelling, then at his master. If he wasn't mistaken, his master was referring to his master's cave dwelling, right?
The Great Leader is sleeping in Master's room...
Xuan Du gasped in shock; their Human Sect had guest rooms!
This is wrong, this is definitely wrong!
Xuan Du's mind was in a mess. He retreated in a daze and sat on the steps of the mountain path, his eyes blank.
Guang Chengzi searched everywhere but couldn't find Cangli, so he decided to try his luck at Taiqing. Just as he arrived, he saw Xuandu sitting on the mountain path, lost in thought. Guang Chengzi walked over:
"Senior Brother?"
Xuan ignored him, as if he hadn't heard him.
Guang Chengzi leaned closer and shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Xuandu!!!"
Xuan Du snapped out of his daze: "What are you doing? Why are you so loud? I'm not deaf. Be quiet."
Guang Chengzi said, feeling a little aggrieved, "I called out to my senior brother earlier, but he ignored me, so I raised my voice. Senior brother, when did you get back? Is the Great Chief with our Uncle?"
As he spoke, Guang Chengzi was about to go to Taiqing Cave to find someone.
Xuan Du reacted faster than his brain, stopping Guang Chengzi: "You're not allowed to go!!!"
Guang Chengzi: ?
"Huh? Why can't we go? Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Xuan Du grabbed his hair in frustration, making a mess of it. He had never encountered such a troublesome problem since embarking on the path of cultivation.
There's definitely something wrong with his master and the chief!
Guang Chengzi was startled: "Senior Brother, are you alright?!"
Xuandu hurriedly said, "It's alright, it's alright. Hey, don't go looking for Master. The Great Chief is over there. She got drunk at Junior Uncle's place and is sleeping soundly right now. Don't disturb her."
Guang Chengzi laughed: "I was wondering why I couldn't find the Great Chief anywhere. I thought she had gone back. Well, I'll go back and tell my master that I'll come to see the Great Chief later."
Xuan Du nodded repeatedly, "Let's leave quickly, don't cause trouble at this time."
Guang Chengzi returned to Yuanshi:
"Master! Your disciple has returned. The Great Chief is with our Senior Uncle, saying he's drunk."
As soon as Guang Chengzi finished speaking, he noticed that his master was frantically refining magical artifacts in the weapon-refining room with a dark face. Guang Chengzi understood. It seemed that his master had made up his mind to take the Great Chief as his disciple. He had even started refining magical artifacts. Guang Chengzi was very happy.
Cang Li didn't know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar roof, she couldn't react for a moment. She covered her head and got up. Wasn't she drinking with Tongtian?
Where is this place? The style looks strangely familiar, and there's a tuft of white hair in her palm. Cang Li wondered, where did she get this tuft of white hair from? Cang Li casually tossed a strand of hair into her purse.
She then climbed out of bed, shaking her dizzy head. She was probably drunk. No, this is important! Cang Li's expression changed. How long had she been drunk? Cang Li hurriedly ran outside.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Taiqing sitting at the door, seemingly lost in thought.
Cang Li slowed down and walked over to ask:
"Taoist Master?"
Taiqing looked up at Cangli, and after a long while, he said:
"You're awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Cang Li shook his head. The wine was quite good, and it wouldn't matter if he got drunk.
"Master, is this your home? How long have I been sleeping? Sigh, drinking leads to trouble, I really shouldn't have drunk!"
Cang Li was somewhat annoyed, as he couldn't remember any of his drunken antics.
Tai Qing pointed to the desktop and said:
"After sleeping for half a day, sit down and talk."
Cang Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that only half a day had passed. She was worried that the wine Tongtian had given her was too good and that she would be drunk for ten or fifteen days. Cang Li smiled, sat down, and waved her hand in front of Taiqing as a greeting:
"Master Daoist, it's been a long time."
Apart from the image she imagined in the spirit world, it had indeed been a long time since I'd seen her.
Taiqing paused, not for very long, but still nodded:
"Yeah, long time no see."
Cang Li was about to speak while lying on the table when something pricked her chest. Cang Li subconsciously reached into her chest and pulled out a storage bag. Cang Li looked at the unfamiliar storage bag in confusion.
Where did the storage bag come from? Was she drunk and robbing people?
Cang Li looked at Tai Qing again, cleared his throat, and tentatively asked:
"Taoist Master? I didn't cause any trouble when I was drunk, did I? Whose storage bag is this? Did I steal it while I was drunk?"
Taiqing: "...No trouble. The storage bag that your third brother gave you was not stolen. It's full of magical treasures. Take it."
Cang Li suddenly realized what was happening and felt relieved for a moment. Luckily, she hadn't committed robbery. However, Tongtian was quite kind to her, giving her so many magical treasures. Cang Li happily put away the storage bag, knowing that she would have more strength to protect the others when she returned.
very nice.
Taiqing looked at Cangli quietly. Cangli had grown taller than when he left the human race, but his appearance hadn't changed much. His eyes were the same as before; he would speak out if he was unhappy. So even though Yuanshi was a saint, Cangli would still argue back if he was unhappy.
When Cangli was playing around with Tongtian, he seemed very happy and also liked to drink. Although he couldn't hold his liquor, he would not recognize people when he was drunk and would not recognize things when he sobered up.
Taiqing unconsciously revealed a smile, and her gaze towards Cangli softened even more.
Cang Li looked up and saw the beauty smiling, and was immediately stunned.
So beautiful...
"Master, you are so handsome..."
Cang Li praised him just like that, and he did so very sincerely.
Taiqing was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Cangli had actually wanted to expel him from the human race. At that time, Cangli had looked at him with the same eyes, and then let him stay.
