The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 139 Guiyuan Sect 14

Yingyue was somewhat puzzled by Lingling's actions: "Since Lingling wants to become a disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu, why is she targeting Junior Sister Cheng Jiu? It's completely pointless, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's right," the other four nodded vigorously, especially Cheng Jiu, who felt confused. Did she have a conflict of interest with the other party? Even if the other party wanted to become a disciple of her master.

Shouldn't they be trying to please her, the only disciple of the Immortal Lord Qingxu?

Qin Che pondered for a moment, then speculated, "She probably thinks that you were lucky enough to become Immortal Lord Qingxu's disciple, and if she squeezes you out, she will be the only choice to become Immortal Lord Qingxu's disciple!"

"Ha!" Cheng Jiu's eyes widened, completely unable to understand how this logic came about: "Lucky, I admit! But Master said that he was given a hint by Elder Tian Shu, who said that he and I had a master-disciple relationship. Even if she squeezed me out, if the two of us had no fate, Master wouldn't have accepted her, right?"

Becoming a disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu is certainly a stroke of luck! Cheng Jiu has always believed this since becoming his disciple. But Cheng Jiu simply cannot understand that cold, brooding thought process.

Really? You don't think that just because she didn't become Qingxu Immortal Lord's disciple, he would accept her as his disciple?

Immortal Lord Qingxu is not the type to accept anyone as a disciple just because everyone thinks they are suitable. As a top genius in the cultivation world, Immortal Lord Qingxu has his own proud and arrogant personality.

"..." Qin Che fell silent, and not only Qin Che, but everyone around him fell silent.

"Yes, is there something wrong?" Cheng Jiu looked at the silent crowd with some hesitation.

"Only half right." Qin Che then looked up.

"Which half?"

"It's fortunate that you and Immortal Lord Qingxu have a master-disciple relationship!" Qin Che said.

"Isn't this enough?" Cheng Jiu asked hesitantly.

"Of course not! Junior sister, let me give you an example. If the Heavenly Dao said that you and that Lingling have a master-disciple relationship, would you be willing to take her as your disciple?" Qin Che gave an example.

"Of course I wouldn't!" Cheng Jiuguang felt terrible just thinking about taking a troublesome person as his apprentice.

No, no, even Heaven can't allow her to take someone she doesn't like as a disciple! This is taking on a disciple! The saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." If she takes this person as a disciple, it would be like she's foolish enough to take on a rebellious daughter! She's not that foolish.

"That's how it is! This so-called master-disciple relationship is very complicated. More importantly, before accepting you, Immortal Lord Qingyang had already accepted Junior Brother Gong Yu of Gongcheng. It's hard not to speculate that Immortal Lord Qingxu chose to accept a disciple because his friend Immortal Lord Qingyang accepted a disciple."

After all, he had never expressed his willingness to take on disciples before. If he had, then your class wouldn't have only taken on five disciples with gold aptitude; all the disciples with gold aptitude in that class would have chosen Guiyuan Sect.

Most importantly, Immortal Lord Qingxu is a cultivator, and cultivators believe in following the will of Heaven and going against it.

"The Heavenly Dao probably doesn't play a decisive role in the minds of cultivators like Immortal Lord Qingxu. His excuse is probably only good for fooling those junior disciples who haven't even entered the sect yet." Qin Che expressed the thoughts of most people outside regarding Immortal Lord Qingxu taking Cheng Jiu as his disciple.

Although that's what people think, outsiders have generally accepted Cheng Jiu as a disciple of Qingxu Immortal Lord.

The protective instincts inherited from the Qingxu Immortal Lord would not allow anyone outside to question Cheng Jiu.

Cheng Jiu nodded as he listened, his tone calm and proud: "It was certainly lucky that my master accepted me as his disciple, but it was also because I caught his eye back then."

Qin Che and the others were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Yes, that's because Cheng Jiu caught the eye of Immortal Lord Qingxu back then. In the cultivation world, there were countless people who wanted to become Immortal Lord Qingxu's disciples, including many geniuses.

But among them, only Cheng Jiu caught the eye of Immortal Lord Qingxu and became his disciple. This cannot be explained by mere luck.

Qin Che somewhat understood Cheng Jiu's thoughts. For example, if one were to become the sect leader's disciple, there would be an opportunity to inherit the sect leader's position in the future. This was the sect leader of one of the five major sects, and there were many people who wanted to become disciples of the sect leader.

Although the sect leader has already decided that Nan Xingze will be the next sect leader, no one can guarantee that Nan Xingze will become the next sect leader in the future. The position of the sect leader's disciple is also very desirable, but so far Qin Che is still the junior brother!

Being able to become a disciple of the sect leader is not only Qin Che's good fortune, but also a testament to his ability.

Qin Che felt relieved, and the atmosphere became lively again. Everyone quickly forgot about Lingling.

Although the other party was quite unruly, even dancing right in front of Cheng Jiu and the others, it was ultimately just a minor matter. Her scheme would not succeed, and the group might not even see her again in the future.

The ones who are really having a headache for him are the sect leaders, the sect master, and the senior brother Nan Xingze. However, the sect's main focus is on dealing with the aftermath of the beast tide and the Mahayana ceremony for the two Immortal Lords, so they simply can't spare any time to deal with this.

This is a ceremony for two Mahayana Immortal Lords, which is extremely rare in the cultivation world. Moreover, these two Mahayana Immortal Lords are very young and are sure to ascend to immortality. It is no exaggeration to attach great importance to this Mahayana ceremony.

Once the sect has some free time, if these people still don't know their place, they'll become the sect's official leaders. Their methods are not to be underestimated, and they'll only end up losing more than they gain.

Because of these two incidents combined, the sect leader summoned all his disciples back to help handle sect affairs.

It's not Qin Che's fault; he wanted to avoid being lazy.

There are just too many things to do, and most of them require the sect leader's decision.

According to Qin Che himself, he secretly went back to the sect's main peak. Even his fifth senior brother, who was the laziest, was so busy that he hadn't slept for days and needed a rest.

How terrible! His fifth senior brother is always lazy.

Previously, he had been staying at the sect leader's peak and hadn't moved at all. The sect leader couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked his fifth senior brother out to gain experience.

His fifth senior brother didn't get any training and ended up as a beggar, living among other beggars.

It was only when the sect leader noticed that his fifth senior brother hadn't returned that he worried something had happened to him, so he sent his second senior sister to drag him out of the beggar's den.

According to my second senior sister, he's doing quite well in the beggar's den. If he had stayed any longer, his begging business would have grown bigger and stronger, and he would have achieved even greater success!

He was lazy, but quite intelligent. He came up with ideas and plans to manage the area of ​​beggars in an orderly manner, and even arranged for them to take turns begging.

He ran the beggars' den with great success, enjoying the beggars' hospitality and thriving there.

When she went to catch him, those beggars, who had barely eaten their last meal, stuffed the spirit stones they had begged into Fifth Senior Brother's arms, reluctantly telling him not to forget them.

Back at the sect, the fifth senior brother felt that life in the Beggars' Sect was much better than in the sect. He would apply to go out for training every few days, and each training session would last for half a year. He was always dragged out of the beggars' den by the second senior sister.

According to the second senior sister, she was puzzled as to how the fifth junior brother, who spent his days eating and sleeping in the beggars' den, managed to convince those beggars to treat him like an emperor.

How can he develop the begging business into a thriving enterprise without doing anything?

And this fifth senior brother was so busy on the sect leader's peak that he was constantly on the go. His eyes were so black that they were almost as big as the iron-eating beasts of the demon race, which looked terrifying!

When asked why he knew so much, he replied, "Because I was caught red-handed by my fifth senior brother!"

He never expected that just going back for a quick look would be seen by his fifth senior brother, who was working himself to the bone. The other brother was so resentful that he grabbed him and sent him to his eldest senior brother.

Seeing that he was really going to be conscripted, Qin Che hurriedly shouted that he had only come back to visit and that he had not yet finished organizing the spiritual books.

"I don't think your senior brother and your fifth senior brother would believe that!" Cheng Jiu couldn't help but retort.

Qin Che was recounting his adventures on the sect's main peak when he heard this and looked at Huo Yan with a bit of embarrassment: "Junior Brother Huo, please be my witness!"

"Ah!" The group drew out their voices, their eyes filled with disdain: "Senior Brother Qin, you've corrupted Senior Brother Huo!"

Qin Che, seeing the disdain in their eyes, got a little angry: "Hey, you bunch of kids, do you still want to listen?!"

"Yes! Yes!" At this crucial moment, the group still didn't want to offend their gossipy uncle.

At first, Nan Xingze believed in his junior brother, after all, he knew how many spiritual books he had. He never expected Qin Che to be so fast, he had underestimated him.

But Fifth Senior Brother is different. He's a master of slacking off, so how could he not see that Qin Che actually wanted to slack off? He definitely finished it.

Unfortunately, Huo Yan, standing next to Qin Che, met his friend's pleading gaze. He was never one to lie, but faced with their questioning looks, his ears turned red, and he nodded.

Huo Yan's appearance, temperament, and personality clearly indicated that he was a good kid who wouldn't lie, so the eldest brother immediately believed him. Although the fifth brother noticed something amiss, it couldn't affect the eldest brother's judgment at all.

Qin Che fled from the sect master's hall without stopping, rented a crane from the rental office, and came to Canglan Peak to find Cheng Jiu.

After all, this is the Daoist temple of Immortal Lord Qingxu. The other party is not that familiar with Immortal Lord Qingxu, so they wouldn't have searched here.

Qin Che still felt a lingering fear as he spoke: "Senior Brother is usually very busy! But unlike that day, if I had said I had some free time, he probably would have eaten me alive!"

Yingyue and Wensi Shuwen Yan couldn't help but feel fortunate: "Luckily, we have many senior brothers and sisters!"

"Why doesn't my master take on more senior brothers and sisters!" Qin Che said with envy.

"Of course, a sect leader's disciple cannot be accepted lightly." After all, a sect leader's disciple has the right to inherit the sect leader position.

Those who are without desires are fine, but if someone with ambition comes along, it will be similar to the princes in the mortal world fighting for the throne, and they will fight until they are cross-eyed!

The disciples of the sect leader and peak masters of Guiyuan Sect are mostly not ambitious. If a disciple does have ambition, it's fine for the peak master, and if all else fails, the sect can parachute in a peak master. But having a sect leader would really cause the sect to split.

Therefore, most sect leaders have become much more cautious about accepting disciples since they took on the role.

Qin Che was well aware of all this, and his sigh was nothing more than envy for Yingyue and Wen Sishu.

After spending a day with Cheng Jiu, Wen Sishu received a message from her family the next day: "Junior sister, my family has sent a letter. The congratulatory letters you requested have been delivered and are currently at the market post station. Let's go pick them up!"

"That's wonderful!" Cheng Jiu said excitedly. Once she was preparing the lesson, she would have the gift for her master ready. After that, she would just have to wait for her master's Mahayana ceremony.

There had been no news for days, and with the deadline fast approaching, Cheng Jiu was getting increasingly anxious.

Qin Che and Huo Yan came out of the guest room, both of them clearly having rested well: "Junior sister, we're going back to the sect's main peak soon! A little break is enough. So many things are piled up on my senior brothers and sisters, I can't just stay here and slack off forever."

Qin Che felt a pang of conscience thinking about his overworked and lazy senior brothers and sisters. Although he did enjoy shirking his duties, he was genuinely needed to help now! He wasn't so comfortable with hiding around Chen Jiu and slacking off forever.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go to the market too. Let's ride my little Rainbow Dash together!"

Cheng Jiu nodded and offered his suggestion.

She always wakes up relatively early, after all, she belongs to the sleep-loving group. The higher her cultivation level, the less sleep she needs. Right now, Gong Cheng, Gong Yu, and Ying Yue are all resting.

Anyway, He Wen has relatively few books, so it's more than enough for her and Wen Sishu to go together.

Qin Che nodded upon hearing this and stretched: "Alright, I wonder what happened to that crane yesterday, it made my butt hurt so much!"

Upon hearing Cheng Jiu's summons, the little cloud beast emerged from the dense forest like a truck, moving at great speed, but finally came to a steady stop in front of the group.

Slowly enlarging their bodies, the group settled themselves on the little cloud beast.

The little cloud beast headed towards the market.

Sitting on the little cloud beast, Qin Che couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior Sister, you've trained this cloud beast so well!" As for the fact that the little cloud beast had brought them together, he dared not utter a single word.

They bullied Cheng Jiu because he was young and weak, which is why they dared to do that.

But unfortunately, fortunes change, and he doesn't dare to do that anymore.

If he dares to bring up what happened back then and angers Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, she really can kick him down. He can't beat Junior Sister Cheng Jiu now.

Qin Che couldn't help but sigh, "Just thinking about it is terrifying." That's why he didn't dare to tease his disciples anymore when he was guiding them later.

After all, we have learned from past mistakes and learned our lesson.

Qin Che didn't mention it, and Cheng Jiu didn't want to either, after all, it was one of her dark histories.

As the two rode together on the little cloud beast, they inevitably recalled their ill-fated relationship from the past. They glanced at each other, then slowly looked away.

An unsettling feeling inevitably arose in my heart; there was no nostalgia, only awkwardness!

The little cloud beast landed in the central square, and the two teams separated. One team headed towards the market, while the other went to the sect leader's peak.

After picking up He Wen's books at the post station, the two walked through the market.

The market was as bustling as ever, but what caught the eye most were the floating islands thousands of meters in the sky.

The island was extremely mysterious, displaying two opposing forces of black and white, yin and yang, constantly circulating in a cycle.

Amidst the interplay of black and white energies, the two could still discern the hidden beauty of mountains and rivers within their field of vision.

It was so eye-catching, as if it contained endless mysteries, attracting the attention of all cultivators.

"What is that?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously.

Wen Sishu actually knew: "It is said that a powerful figure in the sect once searched for a blessed land overseas, called Penglai, and brought it back to the sect. The path above should be it! The future venue for the sect's ceremonies will be on that Penglai Immortal Island."

"How generous!" Cheng Jiu was amazed. She had originally thought that the sect's ceremony would be held at the Guiyuan Sect. But the sect turned around and used a powerful immortal island as the venue.

Ultimately, she was simply ignorant.

Back at Canglan Peak, Gong Cheng, Gong Yu, and Cheng Jiu officially announced that they would be in seclusion to write a congratulatory article and would not come out until it was finished!

Yingyue and Wensi returned to Medicine Peak without disturbing them.
