Unknowingly, another half a year had passed. Ever since that day, the little beauty Tian Ling 'er had become more and more attached to Xiao Yi. She followed him almost every day and was unwilling to leave him for even a moment. As for Zhang Xiaofan, his one year was up, so he didn't have to chop bamboo anymore. Because he had saved the monkey Xiao Hui, this monkey followed him just like in the original novel. The monkey was clever and lively, and soon, it got along well with Tian Buyi's old dog, Big Yellow. The dog and monkey often caused a ruckus on Big Bamboo Peak, and it became much livelier.
Behind the mountain of Big Bamboo Peak, the trees were still green and green, extending for a hundred miles. In the deep valley of the back mountain, clouds floated faintly like gauze and smoke, beautiful to behold.
Suddenly, a slim figure appeared in the clouds. She was wearing a red silk dress. It was Tian Ling 'er. In just a short while, Tian Ling 'er's figure had already arrived at the depths of the secluded valley, next to the small green pool. The water in the small pool was thin and clear, flowing into the distance.
At this moment, a mountain breeze blew over, creating ripples that reflected the setting sun in the sky. It was cold and beautiful, but Tian Ling 'er ignored it completely and stood there quietly. A beautiful figure stood by the lake, staring at the sparkling water in a daze.
The mountain breeze blew past the water surface and brushed past her. It stopped breathing and stopped talking. It gently ruffled her clothes and hair, setting off her snow-like skin.
She was alone, quietly standing there. In the setting sun, by the clear water, the young woman had a hint of sorrow and anticipation. Her eyebrows were lowered, and there seemed to be a faint glow in her eyes, as if she was longing for something. She looked so beautiful.
This moment seemed to last forever!
"Junior Sister Ling 'er." Suddenly, a voice called out from behind her. Tian Ling 'er turned around, her eyes filled with joy, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.
"Senior Brother Xiao, you're here!"
Tian Ling 'er was overjoyed. Behind her, a person walked over quickly. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was handsome and extraordinary, and his bearing was outstanding. Coupled with his straight back, he was none other than Xiao Yicai.
Xiao Yicai quickly walked to Tian Ling 'er's side and said gently,""I'm sorry. Master summoned me back to Tongtian Peak just now, so I came late. I must have made you wait!”
Tian Ling 'er was originally a little angry, but for some reason, when she saw Xiao Yicai's figure, it disappeared without a trace. She shook her head and smiled."It's okay. I haven't been here for long.”Pausing for a moment, she looked at the pool beside her and said,"But why did you ask to meet me here? I'm still a little afraid of what happened that day!”
Xiao Yicai smiled and said," It's fine. I've already sealed the Soul Catcher with the Heart Execution Lock. The Heart Execution Lock is one of the Qingyun Sect's secret techniques. It's extraordinary. It'll be fine." And look, after that evil thing caused a ruckus, didn't this place become even quieter?”
Tian Ling 'er blushed and lowered her head.""I don't know if it's good for us to avoid Xiao Fan and meet secretly.”
Xiao Yicai looked at her gentle and beautiful face and said gently,""Junior Sister Ling 'er, ever since we met for the first time on Big Bamboo Peak, I've been unable to forget you. I can't stop thinking about you and often can't sleep at night.”When Xiao Yi said this, he paused for a moment and stole a glance at Tian Ling 'er before saying,""You don't know, but back then, Master only punished Junior Martial Brother Ma and Junior Martial Brother Shen to work hard on Big Bamboo Peak. As for me, I asked to come!”
Tian Ling 'er subconsciously bit her lips, and her face turned even redder. However, she did not show any signs of anger. Instead, she felt a hint of sweetness in her heart.
"Junior Sister Ling 'er, I…" Xiao Yicai said again.
Tian Ling 'er suddenly raised her head and said,"Senior Brother Xiao, you can just call me Ling' er."”At this point, she suddenly lowered her head and whispered,"My, my father and mother call me that.”
Xiao Yicai was overjoyed, as if he still couldn't believe his ears. He hesitated for a moment before asking,"Really? Ling, Ling 'er."
"Yes!" Tian Ling 'er raised her head. Her eyes were filled with shyness and joy.
Xiao Yicai stepped forward and gently held her soft hand. He looked at her blankly. He saw that Tian Ling 'er was wearing a fiery red silk dress. It was very thin. When the cool breeze in the secluded valley blew, her face was flushed red. In the eyes of others, her face was really like a hibiscus, as beautiful as a peach blossom. It was out of this world.
He pulled her into his arms with a slight force and placed his chin on the back of her head. He closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He felt the faint fragrance of the young girl and was intoxicated.
Tian Ling 'er was also bold. She didn't even dodge and naturally leaned into Xiao Yicai's arms.
The two of them didn't speak and just quietly leaned against each other. After a while, Xiao Yi felt that the person in his arms was breathing evenly. He then took out a small brocade box from his bosom and handed it to Tian Ling 'er. He smiled and said,"Ling 'er, this small box contains a cooling bead. Although this thing isn't a rare treasure, it can dispel the heat and reduce the heat. It's also said to be beneficial for women's skin care. I used the Spirit Calming Bead that Master gave me to specially ask for it from Senior Brother Qi Hao on Dragon Head Peak for you.”
(Xiao Yicai: Hehe, I stole your girl in exchange for your tool. Let's see how you, Qi Hao, survive!)
"Senior Brother Xiao, you're despicable. Give me back my Junior Sister Ling 'er and the Chilling Pearl."
Xiao Yicai,"I won't return it. I won't return it. What can you do to me?"
Qi Hao thought,"You liar, I want to duel you!"
Xiao Yicai: " Come on, come on. I know you can't beat me."
Qi Hao thought,"Senior Brother Xiao, you b * tch!"
Xiao Yicai thought,[Little guy, don't you know that I've been playing with the silver sword?]
Qi Hao was speechless.
"Mind-stabilizing Pearl? Is it the red bead you took out to save me last time?”Tian Ling 'er couldn't help but exclaim.
Xiao Yicai nodded, but Tian Ling 'er's expression changed and she cried out,""Senior Brother Xiao, that Mind-stabilizing Pearl is a rare treasure in the world. How could you use it to exchange for this cooling pearl with Senior Brother Qi Hao?”
Xiao Yicai pulled Tian Ling 'er's hand and said lovingly,""Of course, I know that this cooling bead is not as good as the Spirit Calming Bead, but this cooling bead has a miraculous effect on women's skin care. I hope that Ling 'er will always be beautiful.”
"Senior Brother Xiao, you're so nice!" Tian Ling 'er struggled and raised her head to look at Xiao Yicai. Her big bright eyes were especially charming.
Xiao Yicai handed the small box over again." Ling 'er, open it. Do you like it?"”
Tian Ling 'er nodded and took the small box. She opened it in her palm and held a small pearl that was emitting a gentle luster. The gentle light was reflected in her charming and bright eyes, like two gentle but hot flames. Her voice was filled with joy as she said,"Senior Brother Xiao, this cooling bead is really beautiful!”
"Do you like it?" Xiao Yicai asked gently.”
"Yes, yes! Ling 'er likes it so much!" Tian Ling 'er nodded repeatedly and said happily,""Senior Brother Xiao, thank you."
Xiao Yicai scratched her face again and said,""Do you still need to thank us?”
Tian Ling 'er was so happy that she directly threw herself into Xiao Yicai's arms. Just like that, the two of them spoke sweet nothings and stayed there for a while before leaving one after another.
The two of them didn't know that after they left, two figures, one slim and one short and fat, walked out from the depths of the forest. Who else could have such a strange combination on Big Bamboo Peak other than Old Tian and his wife?
Old Tian watched the two of them leave and said hatefully to Su Ru,"I told you, Xiao Yi is the dishonest one. You didn't believe me. Now you see, look at his lecherous appearance. He's really a disgrace. Even our Ling 'er was deceived by him. He actually did such a shameful thing in broad daylight.”
Su Ru's face turned slightly red. As a husband and wife, it was natural for her to feel awkward when she saw her daughter being lovey-dovey with someone else. She could not help but roll her eyes at her husband and said,"I told you not to come, so don't come, but you just had to come. Now…Besides, didn't you see our daughter's happy smile? She's even happier than before.”
Tian Buyi was even more furious when he heard that.""That was Xiao Yicai's flowery words to deceive our Ling Er. Also, what he said just now was so mushy. This is something that an ordinary person can say. I don't know what kind of bewitching drug he gave our Ling Er to hear him say it so mushy, but he actually laughed so happily.”
Senior Uncle Su's eyes widened again and he said,""You still dare to talk about me? Weren't you the same back then? You asked me out in the middle of the night and said some mushy things. I don't know if I was possessed or blind back then, but I actually ignored Master and Senior Sister's objections and insisted on following you no matter what.”
"Haha!" Old Terry's fat face turned slightly red when he heard his wife talk about his glorious deeds. He could not help but say,"He can compare to me!"
"Why can't I compete with you!" Su Ru pinched her husband's fat hand that had unknowingly reached her waist and continued,"Do you think you are some kind of Xiang Bobo? In terms of status, Martial Nephew Xiao is the proud disciple of the Sect Leader. In terms of cultivation, you have seen it for yourself. All of your disciples rushed at him, but they couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.”
When Old Terry heard this, he realized that it was true. However, he still said in a picky manner,"But I just feel that this kid isn't reliable and isn't worthy of our Ling 'er.”
Seeing that her husband was still stubborn, Su Ru could tell what Old Terry was thinking."You're jealous of Xiao Yicai and blame him for stealing our daughter's heart.”
Old Terry did not refute this time. Instead, he complained softly,"The daughter we raised painstakingly, this kid cheated her away with a few flowery words. Don't you think it's infuriating?”
Su Ruwan 'er smiled and shook her head. She leaned on Tian Buyi's shoulder and said,"" Buyi, do you still remember the topic we've been discussing these past few days? I couldn't figure it out at first. This Xiao Yi is Perfected Dao Xuan's beloved disciple and is usually very protective of him. Why was he punished to work hard on our Big Bamboo Peak for such a small matter this time? Now, I finally understand. Our Senior Brother Dao Xuan is really a person with a heart.”
When Tian Buyi heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked,""Madam, you mean that Daoist Dao Xuan likes this kid very much. Seeing that he doesn't have a wife yet, he sent him to date our daughter. This is also…"
Su Ru rolled her eyes at her husband and said," You fellow, what are you thinking? What status does Senior Brother Dao Xuan have? How can he be as boring as you say?" I'm saying that Senior Brother Daoxuan is willing to let him take over as the next sect master of the Qingyun Sect, that's why he sent him over to build a good relationship with us.”
Old Tian was puzzled and said," Who doesn't know? He's the next sect master candidate in Senior Brother Dao Xuan's eyes. Even if there's a need, he still came to pull a good relationship with us."”
Su Ru shook her head and said," You didn't see it. Senior Brother Cang Song's power in the Qingyun Sect has been growing over the years. His Dao techniques are strong, and his reputation is second only to Senior Brother Dao Xuan. Originally, Xiao Yicai had no objections to taking over as the sect leader, but now it seemed that there were some doubts. Senior Brother Dao Xuan also had no choice but to secretly pave the way for his own disciple. Furthermore, you, this fellow, were always at odds with Senior Brother Cang Song on normal days. Who else would I choose if not you?”
Tian Buyi's expression changed when he heard that. His eyes were cold and a violent aura seeped out of his body."Are you saying that Xiao Yicai is only using Ling 'er to pave the way for his future succession? I can't let this detestable fellow off…"
When Su Ru saw that the situation was not right, she was shocked. She hurriedly pulled Old Terry and said,"What are you doing!"
Tian Buyi said angrily," Madam, don't stop him. This brat actually dared to scheme against Ling 'er. Wait for me to capture him first and bring him to Yuqing Hall to reason with Senior Brother Dao Xuan. Ask him how I, Tian Buyi, offended him to scheme against our daughter like this.”
When Su Ru heard this, she knew that he had misunderstood. She quickly stopped him and said,"I think you're stuffed, right? What kind of person is Senior Brother Dao Xuan? Having nothing to do after eating, he came to scheme against our daughter.”
" What?" Old Tian was stunned." Then you said just now that Senior Brother Dao Xuan sent him over…"
"I only said that Senior Brother Dao Xuan sent him to build a good relationship with us, but I didn't say that he came to scheme against our daughter. Martial Nephew Xiao and Linger, this matter, was probably also outside of Senior Brother Daoxuan's expectations, right?”
Old Terry thought about it and agreed. He nodded slightly in his heart, but he suddenly thought of something and said in surprise," It's impossible for Senior Apprentice Brother Dao Xuan to do such a thing. Then what about this Xiao Yicai? I usually see that this boy's schemes are deep, and his head is full of bad ideas. If he…" As Old Tian said, he already didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Su Ru shook her head and said," I don't think he's lying to Ling 'er. Otherwise, he's such a smart person. He wouldn't have done something as stupid as exchanging the Mind-stabilizing Pearl for the Chilling Pearl. Besides, you might not be able to tell, but I can. The way Xiao Yicai looked at Ling' er was exactly the same as you did back then. He must really like Ling 'er."”
"Really?" Old Tian You did not believe it.
Su Ru laughed in anger and said to Tian Buyi,""I think you are the one who is full of evil thoughts. You always think of people as bad. Although Junior Nephew Xiao is a little scheming, he treats people sincerely. Even when he treats your disciple, Zhang Xiaofan, he is also kind and pleasant. He gives advice and teaches his cultivation experience wholeheartedly. He doesn't look down on you at all.”
"Seventh Brother?" Tian Buyi frowned and shook his head,""With that silly look of his, no matter how much I teach him, he'll only be like that. What future can he have?”
"Humph!" This time, Su Ru glared at Old Terry and said,"I think you said that because you don't know how to have a disciple and don't care about him. " How is Lil 'Fan useless? Don't you know? Two days ago, Ling' er came to tell me that Lil 'Fan has already broken through the second layer of the Jade Pure Realm and entered the third layer.”
"Old Seven, you said he's already in Jade Pure Realm Level 3? No way, didn't he just reach the first level half a year ago?”Old Terry could not help but be confused.
Su Ru smiled. There was no such thing as an expert, but there was a low-level person. He was the one you said was scheming and full of bad ideas.”
"Xiao Yicai, he has the ability to carve out a piece of rotten wood like Old Seventh?”Tian Buyi's eyebrows twitched. He seemed to have thought of something and a smile appeared on his chubby face.
Su Ru sighed in her heart. Looking at Old Terry, she wondered which guy was going to be unlucky again.
