Ling Bufei blinked and slowly retracted his hand.
"Why, Master Ling is unwilling?" Bai Mengjin looked at her with a smile.
Ling Bufei thought for a while and suddenly said: "That's wrong! When Ji Xingge told me about this, you weren't here yet!"
"Well……"
Ling Bufei said meaningfully: "You have been targeting me for a long time, right? When did it happen?"
This kid, look at how narcissistic he is! I still want to focus on customers.
Of course Bai Mengjin would not go along with his wishes, so he did not answer his question and started another topic: "Actually, the person who came to pick me up before was Master Changling. He had something to do, so he asked Elder Yi Ming to see me off. I heard that it was Master Changling who came to pick me up. Master Cen intends to accept me as a closed disciple, it would be a pity to miss this opportunity."
Cen Muliang's closed disciple! This is much more valuable than the wife of the young master of the Wuji Sect. Unless he ascends to the throne as the sect master and allows her to truly become the sect master's wife, she can barely compare with him.
Note that this is just barely. Now Cen Muliang's most proud disciple is Ning Yanzhi. He was born with a sword and entered the realm of Jindan in twenty years. He is the next generation leader of Danxia Palace. If Bai Mengjin worships Cen Muliang now, he will be an elder at least in the future.
In the Wuji Sect, the wife of the sect master is treated like an elder. In the immortal sect that values strength, there is honor, but the actual power is not as good as that of a real elder.
unless……
"Actually, I would rather compete for the position of head of Danxia Palace. Unfortunately, Lord Ning Xianjun started his career much earlier than me, and he was born with a sword bone. The possibility of me becoming the head is too low. And the Wuji Sect has I established the young sect master early, and no one else has a share. After thinking about it, if I can take over the duties of the sect master as the sect master's wife, it is also a way. Master Ling, don't you think so?"
After saying these words, Ling Bufei fainted. She really thought so. The wife of the sect master simply wanted to evade the sect master and listen to the government behind the curtain!
"Is it really okay for you to just talk about your ambitions in front of me like this?"
Where was that timid and weak little girl last night? Although he could see that she was pretending, he didn't expect that she had such a big appetite! The heads of the three upper sects were picking at her like cabbage.
"You must be honest." Bai Mengjin said earnestly, "Especially if we are going to be husband and wife, how can we not be honest with each other?"
"Wait a minute," Ling Bufei raised his hand to stop, "Who told you that we want to be husband and wife?"
"So you don't agree? Then I will go to Danxia Palace."
Ling Bufei was silent for a moment and said, "I am not a casual person."
Bai Mengjin smiled and nodded.
Ling Bufei continued: "My parents didn't make me so handsome because they wanted me to betray myself."
Bai Mengjin continued to nod.
"Ji Xingge's father, the master of Qifeng Valley, mentioned marriage to me before and expressed his willingness to help me ascend to the position of sect leader, but I refused."
"Master Ling has a noble character and cannot be licentious when he is rich." Bai Mengjin complimented without sincerity.
"Their conditions are average. The Wuji Sect is the sect of Qifeng Valley. The Ji family's foundation in the sect is too weak and the help they can provide is limited. It is not worth selling my body to."
Ling Bufei paused and looked at her again: "However, if you can really cure my terminal pulse and restore my cultivation level, then it's not impossible for me to sell it."
Bai Mengjin smiled: "Sect Master Ling is really a wise man who knows the current affairs."
Ling Bufei's face turned dark: "Hey! Can you be more sincere when you praise someone?" The first one said that wealth should not be promiscuous, and the second one said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Isn't this a slap in his face?
Bai Mengjin followed his advice: "Okay, okay, I will definitely do it next time!"
"So, have we reached an agreement?" she asked.
Ling Bufei nodded, leaned against the tree wall, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry for my parents, I'm sorry for my grandfather, and I betrayed myself after all..."
Bai Mengjin was not happy anymore and stepped forward: "Why, with my appearance and talent, I am not worthy of Master Ling, are you still suffering?"
Ling Bufei suddenly faced her face. They were only a palm apart, and even her eyelashes could be seen clearly. Then his face slowly turned red.
"I...you..."
Bai Mengjin stepped back, snickering in his heart. Haha, no matter how powerful you may be in the future, Sect Master Ling, you are just a teenager now and you still want to fight her!
With Bai Mengjin's help, Ling Bufei ran for two weeks, and all his injuries were healed.
He stretched his muscles comfortably and sighed: "For the first time, I discovered that it is so good to be a normal person."
"It will be great when you can use your magic power on your own. With the cultivation skills your mother left behind, you can move mountains and seas."
Ling Bufei thought about it for a while and felt happy. Even if your parents and grandfather are here, you will agree with it, right?
He walked out of the tree hole and looked at the scenery outside, feeling that the world was beautiful.
——Wait, where is the barrier?
Ling Bufei went in and out several times and said in surprise: "The barrier seems to be gone."
Bai Mengjin tried his hand and said, "It's indeed gone."
"Then can we go?"
Bai Mengjin looked up at the endless mountains in the distance and said, "Hu Erniang must have made a lot of preparations when she chose to interrogate you here. However, the matter has been clarified. Her daughter's death has nothing to do with our father, and there is no reason to keep her locked up." You. Why don't we go ask and let her send us back."
"Okay." Ling Bufei murmured as he climbed down the tree hole, "You changed your mind quickly, now it's my father."
Bai Mengjin didn't blush at all: "This is respect for the elders."
The two crawled for a while, and finally their feet touched the ground.
This giant sycamore tree is almost as high as the mountain, and birds are flying everywhere. Ling Bufei raised his head and marveled: "If we light a fire, how many birds will be roasted?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mengjin pulled him back and said, "Be careful."
There was a "pop" sound, and a piece of bird droppings fell on the place where he was standing.
Master Ling's face turned dark and he did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. These birds are so vindictive!
The two walked around and found a road leading to the valley.
Walking along this road, I finally found a grave at the bottom of the valley with the words "The Tomb of My Beloved Daughter Mochou" written on it. There was a thatched cottage next to it, but there was no one inside.
"This should be the tomb that Erniang Hu built for her daughter." Bai Mengjin said, "She must have been heartbroken when she lost her daughter, so she would remember her in this way."
Monks don't care as much about their posthumous affairs as ordinary people. It's normal not to erect a tomb, let alone a tomb.
Ling Bufei saw the incense candles next to them, so he replaced them with new ones in front of the tomb and cleaned them again.
When he finished, he found that Hu Erniang had come back at some time, so he stood aside and watched.
"Are you trying to atone for your father's sins?" she said coldly.
Ling Bufei calmly replied: "Senior has already seen the memory of the Demon Suppressing Cauldron. My father's death was not my father's responsibility. Why should I atone? Of course, she suffered the disaster just to remind my father. From this point of view, she is My father’s benefactor, I owe her my thanks.”
Hu Erniang stared at him for a while, then turned back to the thatched cottage: "Do you want me to send you out? Wait until tomorrow. I still have something to do. I will send you off after I finish it."
