Chapter 232 Come and Take a Look
Li Yingling pushed the door open and went out.
In the past two days, Fourth Junior Sister brought her husband to start living within the sect.
It was said that Li Junzi could not resist Master's enthusiasm, so he returned to the sect for a short stay.
One had to admit, Master truly had a way.
After warning Cui Hao last time, he had indeed been much more honest recently, appearing nearby every few days.
Li Yingling naturally asked him suspiciously what was going on, but Cui Hao only answered—that he had turned over a new leaf and was staying by his senior sister's side to ensure his own innocence.
Li Yingling's response was also very crisp—don't get in her eyes.
But Cui Hao would still appear every now and then.
Li Yingling didn't bother with this Fifth Junior Brother whose brain seemed a bit abnormal again.
However, there was also good news; recently Chen Baiqing had started appearing by the deep pool just as in the past.
Chen Baiqing indicated that those matters had been finished.
The probability of Master appearing also increased; it was just that occasionally, he would drag Cui away to gods knows where to play.
The days when everyone else was busy and only she was free seemed to have passed.
In short, the sect seemed to be returning to the right track.
It seemed that everyone hadn't changed; the events of the past few days were likely just an accident where everyone was busy.
Li Yingling walked toward the deep pool. Passing a corner, she saw Chen Baiqing holding a book and reading quietly, just as usual.
She smiled and asked, "Are you up this early again today?"
"Good morning, Senior Sister."
Chen Baiqing revealed a smile full of sweetness and said, "Would you like a piece of candied fruit?"
Li Yingling reached out her hand, took the candied fruit handed over by Chen Baiqing, and decisively ate it.
Sweetness would never make people dislike it, provided one didn't eat too much of it.
Li Yingling looked at Chen Baiqing. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Little Bai Qing seemed exceptionally happy today, as if something good had happened.
"Is there any good news today?" Li Yingling asked in confusion.
Chen Baiqing raised her small face and smiled: "Meeting the Eldest Senior Sister first thing today is the best news."
Although she knew Chen Baiqing actually had a better relationship with Master, hearing Little Bai Qing say such words that broke the rules still made Li Yingling happy in her heart.
She reached out and pulled Little Bai Qing directly into her arms, having a good interaction before letting go.
When Chen Baiqing came out of Li Yingling's arms, her originally black and smooth long hair was already a bit messy.
Chen Baiqing reached out to smooth her hair again, looked at her own Eldest Senior Sister, and asked softly:
"Is Eldest Senior Sister very happy today?"
Li Yingling reached out and rubbed Chen Baiqing's small face, satisfyingly saying:
"Mm! Who let the first person I met today be Little Bai Qing?"
"Then what if the second person you met is Master?"
Hearing the familiar teasing voice, Li Yingling turned her head, only to see Chu Xingchen walking towards her leisurely.
At the moment, there were only the Third Junior Sister and Master by the deep pool. Li Yingling raised her small face and spoke quite proudly:
"Barely passable."
"Tsk tsk, that is a pity. Originally, Master had good news to tell you."
Chu Xingchen shook his head slightly, his face full of regret. "I didn't expect you to dislike this Master so much. Forget it..."
"Master, wait!"
Chu Xingchen stopped the steps he was preparing to take to turn and leave, only to see Li Yingling look around again once more, and even use her Divine Envoy ability to investigate.
After confirming no one else was there.
Li Yingling coughed lightly: "Of course I'm happy, so tell me quickly what good news there is."
Chu Xingchen revealed a happy smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with this sentence from Li Yingling.
He didn't stall further and continued: "Did you hear about Yuzhou City preparing to hold a celebration a few days ago?"
"I heard about it, what about it?"
Li Yingling thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that Fifth Junior Brother is going up to perform the finale?"
Chu Xingchen was somewhat speechless: "Can that also be called good news? The little good reputation our Immortal Sect has would be completely ruined by him in a while."
Li Yingling revealed an expression that indeed was the case, nodded in agreement by the way, and suggested at the same time:
"I think we can conduct sect-style education on Fifth Junior Brother."
Chu Xingchen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this: "Our sect still has this thing?"
Li Yingling reminded him softly: "I see Fifth Junior Brother has yet to break through to Qi Refining..."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Fortunately, Cui Hao really wasn't here; otherwise, Cui Hao would probably have to thank his Eldest Senior Sister properly.
"Just a joke."
Li Yingling smiled and chased the question: "Then what is the good news?"
Chu Xingchen got to the main point: "Today, Zhao Wanqing from the Demon Suppression Division came to invite us to participate in this time's gathering. After this Master's careful consideration, I decided that our entire sect personnel will collectively participate in this gathering."
"At the same time, this Master used my ability to secure an excellent viewing position over at Chanlin Temple."
Li Yingling's eyes lit up with joy: "Tonight?"
Chu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "Tonight."
"Then in that case..."
Li Yingling smiled and raised her hand: "I will continue to be best buddies with Master under heaven!"
Chu Xingchen smiled without speaking.
Night fell.
But today's Yuzhou City was extraordinarily lively.
The dragon and lion dance teams began to perform according to the planned route.
Li Yingling wore a red long skirt today, with two lotus-patterned money bags tied at her waist. Since it was late autumn entering winter, she wasn't holding a fan.
So she directly held Chen Baiqing's small hand.
Chu Xingchen, on the other hand, put on the set of somewhat flashy clothes that Li Yingling had gifted before.
At this moment, all members of the sect were assembled in place.
Ning Qianqian and Ning Kun were also there.
Lin Luoyu and Li Junzi stood together. Lin Luoyu always wore a faint smile on her face.
Li Junzi, meanwhile, had a doting smile on his face the whole time, seemingly extremely looking forward to what was about to happen.
Cui Hao was hanging at the end of the team, covertly making hand gestures to convey tasks.
At this moment, Yuzhou City was filled with laughter and joy, and the countless high-hanging lanterns seemed to illuminate Yuzhou City into daylight.
This was an activity far more lively than the Dharma Assembly hosted by Chanlin Temple.
At this moment, the common people of Yuzhou City came out one after another to play. Since hanging lanterns came with wages, every household now had some spare money to spend.
Coinciding with such a grand gathering, no one would choose to stay at home.
After all, the dull moments of these mortals were enough to fill nearly their entire lives. Rarely meeting such a grand gathering, how could they bear to stay at home?
The current Yuzhou City was even more lively than during the day.
The dragon and lion dance teams came from a distance, beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers.
Cheers kept coming from a distance.
Aside from Ning Qianqian, everyone present had some cultivation. Ning Qianqian had also been handed over to Lin Luoyu to look after.
So although there were many people, no one squeezed into Chu Xingchen's side.
However, perhaps it had a bit to do with Cui Hao. Many people saw Cui Hao following behind a group of people with extraordinary temperament and naturally understood that these were the immortals of the Immortal Sect where Cui Hao belonged.
Towards immortals, mortals would ultimately have a heart of reverence.
Li Yingling looked around, and the smile on her face didn't stop. She held Chen Baiqing's small hand and looked toward the direction of the long street.
She saw the dragon and lion dance teams lined up in a long column, performing their respective different movements.
Although Li Yingling was already a Golden Core cultivator, the eagerness in her eyes hadn't dissipated.
She turned her head to look at the sect members behind her and laughed happily:
"Come and take a look, everyone!"
