"Here, here, here."
Ji Changfeng helplessly took out a Beauty-Preserving Pill and handed it to Tian Linger.
"Yay!" Tian Linger, having gotten the Beauty-Preserving Pill, happily threw herself into Su Ru's arms and said with a smile:
"Mom, I have one too!"
Su Ru smiled gently.
Only Qi Hao remained frozen in place.
Ji Changfeng glanced at him lightly and said, "Senior Brother Qi, please take back the Cooling Pearl. Little Sister can't accept the gift you gave…"
Qi Hao's face darkened and he said, "What do you mean, Junior Brother Ji?"
The surrounding senior brothers also looked over curiously.
"You, old man?"
"What does Seventh Junior Brother mean?"
Qi Hao…
Was he really that old?
Tian Linger blinked, then said, "Hey! Ji Changfeng, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by…"
She stopped mid-sentence.
Cough cough, Qi Hao himself was right there.
But Ji Changfeng didn't care so much. He directly explained to everyone with a faint smile:
"Senior Brother Qi participated in the last Seven Peaks Martial Meet? It's been a full sixty years since the last Seven Peaks Martial Meet. Logically speaking, Senior Brother Qi should be at least seventy or eighty years old, right?"
"At his age, you'd be calling him Grandpa in the mortal world…"
Ji Changfeng said the last sentence to Tian Linger.
"Oh? Senior Brother Qi is already so old?"
Tian Linger looked at Qi Hao with a look of surprise.
"I..." Qi Hao opened his mouth.
His face flushed, and he trembled all over, especially when he saw Tian Linger's expression of 'respecting the elderly,' one thought filled his mind…
Escape! He wanted to escape from here!
Great Bamboo Peak was terrifying!
"Ouch—"
Just then, a figure suddenly flew in from outside the Hall of Stillness.
Tian Buyi's face darkened.
But when he saw who had fallen in, his expression returned to calm.
Oh, it's that idiot, Lin Jingyu?
Tian Buyi said lightly, "Xiao Ba? What happened?"
Zhang Xiaofan, holding the Firewood Stick, hurriedly walked in from outside the Hall of Stillness. He first bowed to Tian Buyi and said: "Master, this disciple was just sparring with Jingyu, and I accidentally didn't hold back..."
Tian Buyi was overjoyed inside, but on the surface, he still chided, "When sparring with fellow disciples, how can you use such heavy force?"
"Pay attention next time!"
That casual sentence drifted down.
Zhang Xiaofan respectfully replied, "Yes, Master."
After speaking, he quickly turned to Lin Jingyu and helped him up.
"Jingyu, are you alright?"
Lin Jingyu seemed a bit lost.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing?
Hearing Zhang Xiaofan's call, he finally came back to himself.
Lin Jingyu opened his mouth, saying, "Xiaofan, your cultivation..."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and looked at Ji Changfeng with a hint of admiration. He said,
"My own aptitude isn't actually that good. It's all thanks to Seventh Senior Brother's guidance that I have my current cultivation..."
Lin Jingyu opened his mouth, then closed it.
In the end, he didn't say anything.
He couldn't beat Ji Changfeng, and now he couldn't even beat Xiaofan?
So, of the three orphans from Caomiao Village who entered Qingyun Sect, he, Lin Jingyu, was the most useless?!
Lin Jingyu was somewhat bewildered.
Ji Changfeng saw everything, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Zhang Xiaofan cultivated both Buddhism and Daoism. Even at the same Jade Clarity level five, he could crush others at the same stage. Not to mention, he also possessed a treasure bestowed by the Qingyun Patriarch—
The Firewood Stick, which rivaled divine weapons!
Now, what was Lin Jingyu without the Dragon-Slaying Sword? He was, at best, a slightly more talented genius.
Qi Hao noticed the dejected Lin Jingyu.
Since he, too, didn't want to stay here any longer, he quickly pulled Lin Jingyu and said to Tian Buyi and his wife:
"Uncle Tian, Aunt Su, Junior Brother Lin has already finished catching up with his friend, so this disciple won't disturb you any further..."
Tian Buyi waved his hand dismissively. He was generously signaling for the two losers to hurry back to Dragon Head Peak.
Qi Hao dragged Lin Jingyu away, tail between their legs.
The Hall of Serenity fell silent once more.
Su Ru held Tian Linger in her arms, her gaze softening as she looked at Ji Changfeng. She spoke gently, "Changfeng, will you come with me to Small Bamboo Peak later? Your Aunt Shuiyue often asks about you."
It had been four years since Ji Changfeng last visited Small Bamboo Peak.
Every time Su Ru brought Tian Linger back to her maiden home, Master Shuiyue would casually ask, "Why hasn't Changfeng come?"
This surprised Su Ru.
After all these years, it was the first time Master Shuiyue had shown any particular interest in a male disciple.
Ji Changfeng shook his head gently. "Aunt, I think I'll pass..."
"I plan to go to Tongtian Peak later and chat with a few senior brothers there, find out some news about the upcoming Seven Peaks Martial Meet."
Finding out information was a lie.
Drinking with Wan Jianyi, Dao Xuan, and Cangsong was the real reason.
Anyway, the Seven Peaks Martial Meet was coming up soon, and those who needed to meet would meet.
No need to rush.
Ji Changfeng paused slightly after speaking.
He reached into his arms and took out a Beauty-Preserving Pill, handing it to Su Ru, and said: "Senior Sister, please pass this Beauty-Preserving Pill to Master Shuiyue. Consider it as my apology..."
Hearing this, Su Ru smiled.
"Alright, with this Beauty-Preserving Pill, I don't think Senior Sister Shuiyue will say much about you."
The scene made the other disciples of Great Bamboo Peak green with envy.
Sigh…
We want to go to Small Bamboo Peak too! Seventh Junior Brother, can't you give us a chance?!
But unfortunately, that was impossible.
Su Ru's eyes flashed, and she looked sternly at the other disciples around her, saying:
"All of you, go cultivate!"
"The Seven Peaks Martial Meet is coming soon; I'll train you properly when I get back!"
As soon as she said this.
The disciples all looked glum.
"Ah? Please don't, Shiniang…"
Small Bamboo Peak, Moon Gazing Terrace!
At dusk, the setting sun was like a drunkard.
A brilliant orange-red color appeared on the horizon, and the entire bamboo forest seemed to be wrapped in a layer of golden gauze…
"Whoosh!"
A flash of azure sword light.
A figure in white danced gracefully on the Moon Gazing Terrace, the girl's skirt fluttering, her skin as delicate as snow, and her face was beautiful with a hint of coldness…
Lu Xueqi's Tianya descended.
A wisp of azure sword energy appeared, dancing gracefully like a blue snake as it fell beneath the setting sun.
"Xueqi."
At that moment, a gentle female voice echoed from outside Moon Gazing Terrace.
Lu Xueqi was slightly taken aback.
She turned her head to look.
She saw Wen Min standing not far away.
"Senior Sister." A faint smile appeared on the cold girl's face.
Wen Min smiled softly, "Xueqi, Master wants you to go to the Quiet Bamboo Pavilion. Senior Aunt Su and Junior Sister Linger are here..."
Upon hearing this, the cold, elegant girl holding the Tianya sword's eyes immediately brightened.
Wen Min chuckled softly and added, "Junior Brother Ji isn't here..."
"Oh." The emotions in Lu Xueqi's eyes gradually returned to calm.
She silently tightened her grip on the Tianya, and then looked towards the direction of the Great Bamboo Peak, murmuring in her heart: "Four years of arduous cultivation, just for today!"
The Seven Peaks Martial Meet is coming soon.
