With the disciples lining up to greet him, Master Ling returned to the mountain in glory.
He lives on a small subsidiary peak next to the main peak, and his name is Jinghong Zhaoying. Above, there are winding corridors, pavilions, and sparse flowers and trees, which are both elegant and quiet.
Bai Mengjin stood on the covered bridge, looked up at the surrounding terrain, and couldn't help but smile.
The main peak is the residence of the sect leader. It is slightly lower here, which means it is right under his uncle's nose. There is a peak on the other side, which should be where Taiyi Hall is located. It is guarded by several elders with the highest cultivation level every day.
The Wuji Sect is indeed protecting the young sect master, look how closely they are watching!
Bai Menglian came over and called: "Second sister."
Bai Mengjin turned around in response.
Bai Menglian said: "I have thought about it. My eldest brother and I should go to the disciple academy. Our cultivation is too low and we don't understand many things. It is better to start with the new disciples."
Before Bai Mengjin expressed his position, Bai Mengxing shouted first: "Sister! What are you talking about? If you don't go with the second sister, doesn't it mean you have no backing?"
Bai Meng even slapped him on the head and scolded: "I knew you wanted to take a shortcut, so you would have to go to the Academy! If you don't get rid of your bad habits, it will only hinder us!"
Bai Mengjin smiled: "Okay, listen to eldest sister."
So Bai Menglian grabbed his younger brother and left with You Yan.
On the other side, Ling Bufei was struggling with the problem.
Jinghong Zhaoying is very large, with a photo platform in the middle that leads to different directions and is divided into several courtyards. He lives in the biggest one in the middle, and the others are either smaller or far away...
Before he could decide, a communication talisman flew over.
Ling Bufei took it and looked at it, sneering: "So anxious."
"What's wrong?" Bai Mengjin asked.
He raised the talisman in his hand: "My uncle asked me to go to the main peak now."
"Then go! Do you want me to come with you?"
Ling Bufei said without hesitation: "Of course." The earlier the decision is made, the better. If it takes too long, you know what could go wrong.
Bai Mengjin raised a gentle and bright smile.
Ling Bufei shuddered inexplicably, as if the next moment she would change her face, revealing her sinister white teeth.
It must be an illusion.
He shook his head, called the enlightened beast, and stretched out his hand to her: "Come."
The two of them rode up, and the enlightened beast raised its head and let out a roar, spreading its wings and flying.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the Zixiao Palace, the main peak, and the guard disciples outside greeted them: "Young Sect Master, Sect Master invites you."
Ling Bufei nodded and took Bai Mengjin inside.
The guarding disciple stopped her and said politely: "This girl, please come to Songtao Pavilion and wait for a while."
Ling Bufei's brows furrowed and he looked at the other party coldly.
At this time, a female voice came from the side: "Junior Brother Ling."
Ling Bufei turned around and saw a female cultivator in white walking slowly over.
Both tall and tall, she and You Yan are of different types. You Yan is bold and bold, but she is slender and graceful, her skirt swaying as she walks, and her fairy spirit flutters.
When she arrived in front of the two of them, she smiled slightly and said in a friendly tone: "Why, you don't know how to say hello when you meet senior sister?"
Ling Bufei called out reluctantly: "Senior Sister Qiu."
The female cultivator in white looked at Bai Mengjin again: "Don't you want to introduce me?"
Ling Bufei said quickly and perfunctorily: "This is my fiancée, her surname is Bai and her name is Mengjin." Then he turned around and said, "My uncle's disciple, Senior Sister Qiu Yi Nongqiu."
Autumn is thick, and Bai Mengjin cannot remember this name. It seems that she either did not live to see a few decades later, or she is mediocre and not worthy of being remembered by Lord Jade Demon.
"Senior Sister Qiu." She bowed her head and saluted.
Qiu Yi Nong smiled and nodded, and said with a bit of ridicule: "You are calling me your fiancée so quickly. It seems that you really like this girl."
Then he turned around and said to Bai Mengjin affectionately: "Miss Bai, you are new to Wuji Sect and you must not be clear about many things. Why don't I accompany you to Songtao Pavilion to sit for a while and talk."
Without waiting for her to respond, he persuaded Ling Bufei: "Junior brother Ling, in addition to the sect leader, several elders of Taiyi Hall are inside. Miss Bai is new here. Isn't it too scary for you to ask her to follow you like this? Why don't you let me chat with her for a while? , find out the situation, and it’s not too late to go in and pay a visit.”
Ling Bufei didn't think Bai Mengjin would be frightened, but looking at the situation, it would be inevitable to have a verbal lawsuit if he went in now. It was not good for her to watch him lose his temper, so he relaxed.
"What do you think?"
Bai Mengjin was very obedient: "As long as you say yes."
Ling Bufei softened his expression and said, "Then I'll bother you, Senior Sister."
Qiu Yi Nong pursed her lips and smiled, extending her hand to the side: "Miss Bai, please."
Songtao Pavilion is located next to the main hall. It is a small building waiting for visitors to enjoy the scenery. Sitting by the window and looking down, the pine forest below is undulating like waves, which is true to its name.
Qiu Yi Nong led the person in, asked her to sit down at the tea table by the window, and lit a fire to make tea herself.
"Miss Bai, I wonder what Mengjin is in your name?"
Bai Mengjin replied softly: "Nanke Yimeng's dream has existed throughout the ages."
Qiu Yi thought for a while: "A dream can change the past and the present. It is a very poetic name."
Bai Mengjin lowered his head shyly: "Senior Sister Qiu's name is truly poetic, I can't compare with it."
Qiu Yi was secretly amazed when she saw her acting like this. Ling Bufei actually likes such a girl? How strange!
She kept a calm expression on her face and continued chatting: "Miss Bai, I wonder which fairy family you are from? Where is the fairyland? I don't think I have ever heard of a family named Bai."
"Our family is in Qingyun City, Chu State." Bai Mengjin replied without any thought, his expression became lonely, "However, something happened before and all the family members died..."
"I'm sorry." Qiu Yinong's lips curled up slightly, and she changed the topic, "Junior Brother Ling is really attracted to Miss Bai. There were many young ladies from aristocratic families who wanted to marry him before, but my master was too picky. The eldest lady of Lian Qifenggu Ji's family was too picky. They all feel that their status is too low, but I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Ling would bring you back when he went out.”
She shook her head: "Junior brother Ling is so willful, my master will definitely punish him again." At this point, she smiled apologetically, "Miss Bai, I'm not saying you are bad. If you are so lovable, my master would After seeing you, you will definitely change your mind."
"Well, thank you, Senior Sister Qiu." Bai Mengjin bit his lip and held the corners of his clothes with his fingers.
The autumn mood is thick and soft, and she smiles and concentrates on making tea. Her movements are gentle and graceful, her fingers are flying like dancing, and her superb skills are amazing.
Bai Mengjin watched intently until she pushed a cup of fragrant tea over to her and placed it in front of her. She raised her head as if she was startled and praised sincerely: "Senior Sister Qiu is so amazing!"
Qiu Yi Nong nodded slightly and watched her hold up the tea cup and drink it in one breath. The smile on her lips became stronger and she said casually: "Taste the tea first and smell the aroma. Miss Bai, you can do this."
She held up the tea cup, sniffed it gently at the end of her nose, and then drank slowly.
"My master likes to taste tea very much. I remember that when I first started, I spent a lot of time practicing tea art, and then the sect master accepted me as his disciple. When you go in to see me later, you may want to taste it too. Tea."
"That's it..." Bai Mengjin's eyes flickered. After a while, he pleaded with determination, "Senior Sister Qiu, can you teach me? Although I...can't learn it for a while, at least I won't defeat the sect leader's wish."
"Of course you can!" Qiu Yinong said in a friendly manner, "Come on, let's start by boiling water. You see..."
She demonstrated it once, and when she looked up, Bai Mengjin looked confused.
"Senior Sister Qiu, I didn't understand. Can you do it again?"
There was an indescribable feeling of relief in Qiu Yi's heart: "Okay!"
After doing it for the second time, Bai Mengjin seemed to understand a little but not quite, and continued to request: "Senior Sister Qiu, I still don't know, can you do it again?"
Qiu Yi Nong frowned, but still agreed.
The third time, the fourth time... She spoke until her mouth went dry and she raised her head, only to see Bai Mengjin listening very seriously, as if she was just being stupid.
Is she overthinking it? Why does it feel like something is wrong...
Lord Jade Demon: Come on, let’s see who gets more tea.
