"Come, come, sit down. Your fourth senior brother has something to tell you," he said with expectant eyes. "Junior sister, do you still remember what you said to me when we first met?"
Tianning: "?"
What did she say?
Long Aotian didn't care at all: "It's nothing, Fourth Senior Brother just knew you were a very busy person, Junior Sister..."
"Fourth Senior Brother, what exactly do you want to say?" Tianning couldn't stand his inexplicable high-pitched voice; it was really annoying.
"Oh... it's that... you said, from now on, all the trash in your yard will be mine! As long as you're here, I'll be picking up trash every day!" Long Aotian blinked, frantically hinting, "I'm not greedy for that much, just give me a little bit from between your fingers, Junior Sister!"
He had personally witnessed his junior sister's immense wealth; she could easily crush him with it.
So that's all there is to it.
Tianning thought he had an eye problem!
Tianning took out a high-grade spirit stone and gave it to him: "How about this, Fourth Senior Brother, do me a favor, this is your reward."
"Junior Sister, just give the order! Fourth Senior Brother will do his best!" Long Aotian was so happy holding that high-grade spirit stone that he almost floated to the sky. How many years would it take him to pick up trash for just this one favor?
"It's nothing serious," Tianning said. "I've been in the cultivation world for a while now. On the way to the secret realm with my third senior sister, we visited quite a few shops, but we didn't find any storybook shops along the way. Does fourth senior brother know where we can buy storybooks in the cultivation world?"
It wasn't that Tianning didn't have enough storybooks to read; she had stockpiled a bunch when she left home.
But each book she reads is one less to read, and a cultivator's lifespan is at least several hundred years. Tianning's hamster-like nature made her feel that she needed to stock up on more, but she had never seen any novels for sale in the cultivation world.
"Hua Ben, Junior Sister, you haven't been in the cultivation world long enough to know. As cultivators, everyone focuses on cultivation. Things that affect one's Dao heart were eliminated thousands of years ago."
"Plus, hardly anyone writes them, so there are even fewer people selling them." Long Aotian put away the high-grade spirit stones, thought carefully, and said, "I remember there seems to be a shop near the Long family that sells storybooks, with storybooks accumulated over thousands of years..."
Tianning suddenly became interested. A tale from the cultivation world! What kind of story could it be?
“You better behave yourself and don’t even think about going to the Long family. There’s been no peace there these past few years,” Long Aotian said, extinguishing the small flame of his anger at the mention of the Long family. “I’ll have someone bring you the storybook. Just wait patiently.”
Since Fourth Senior Brother has said so, let's just wait patiently.
However, Tianning hasn't seen Long Kangnian since that dinner. He must have gone back to the Long family. No one knows when he'll be back. Look at how worried Fourth Senior Brother is every day. He can even get distracted while picking up trash.
As usual, Tianning lived a fulfilling life every day. As long as she hadn't finished reading her storybook, she was the happiest person in the world!
That day, the third senior sister was going down the mountain to buy some new fabric, and Tianning accompanied her. On their way down the mountain, they encountered a man who called out to them.
"Please wait, fellow Daoists of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. I see the characters embroidered on your clothes; you should be from the Sword Guardian Mountain lineage."
Shi Qinxin asked, "What is it?"
"My name is Long Xin, and I come from the Long family. I have a letter to deliver to Long Aotian, a disciple of the Sword Protection Mountain. If it is convenient, please take me to the Sword Protection Mountain."
The Long family?
Long Aotian's attitude towards the Long family was extremely disgusted, and even Tian Ning knew this. Speaking of which, a long time has passed, but Long Kangnian still hasn't returned.
The two female disciples exchanged a glance, both knowing that this person had ill intentions.
Having lost interest in buying fabric, the two took Long Xin to the Sword Protection Mountain.
