Chapter 111: Bai Dou Tattles
“What did you want to ask?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, before this, Master asked you to accompany me into the Ten Thousand Swords Tablet Forest. The appearance the senior inside took when he first saw me looked somewhat like Senior Brother Ming.”
Hearing him say this, Ye Jingxian replied, “In the Ten Thousand Swords Tablet Forest, it is very likely that you see what you wish to see. What I see is different from what you see; the predecessors only choose the disciples they favor.”
Lin Qingyue understood upon hearing this. “I heard it was Senior Brother Ming who helped expel the Yin-Cold energy. It’s my first time knowing there was such a Senior Brother; even Junior Sister Yu said she rarely saw him in the past.”
Ye Jingxian lowered his eyes, his expression obscured, and casually picked up a book, turning the pages slowly.
“Junior Brother Ming was brought into the sect by the Ancestral Master. His situation is a bit different. It is normal that you all don’t know him. Since Junior Brother Ming saved you, there is no need to feel uneasy; I have already thanked him.”
“I understand. Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Having gained no real information, Lin Qingyue planned to probe a bit on his own. He stretched his waist and yawned lightly, his eyes becoming misty.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m going to rest then. You should sleep early too.”
“Lin Qingyue.”
Lin Qingyue turned back. “What is it?”
“Bai Dou likes things with spiritual energy. It really likes Spirit Milk.”
He dropped this sentence so suddenly that Lin Qingyue didn’t react immediately. “Ah, okay.”
“It’s very late. Go sleep.”
Feeling his head being patted again, Lin Qingyue had grown used to it. He nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Watching his retreating figure, Ye Jingxian remained lost in thought for a long time, rubbing his fingertips together.
When they left the next day, they ran into the Saber Drawers again.
Yu Qianqian was a bit reluctant to part. Taking the opportunity, she shoved something into Yuan An’s hand. “I’m at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. We have a dealāif there’s a chance, you must come find me for a duel.”
Lin Qingyue narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Yuan An for a good long while.
The group parted ways in Cloud Peace City. Ming Yu was also returning to the sect, so they traveled together.
Their group went from the original four to a party of five.
Lin Qingyue’s gaze constantly drifted toward Ming Yu. Fortunately, he knew this might just be a coincidence, so he was careful not to let anyone notice.
Actually, that was just what he thought. As the subject being watched repeatedly, Ming Yu, and Ye Jingxian, whose eyes were always on Lin Qingyue, were both perfectly aware of it.
On the way back, whenever there was delicious food or something fun, both Yu Qianqian and Lin Qingyue had to try it out.
Just like that, the group of five arrived two days later than scheduled.
Knowing early on that Lin Qingyue was coming back, yet seeing no sign of him, Bai Dou was puffed up with anger. With its two short little hands on its hips, it looked comical yet adorable.
Even Ye Zhanxiu felt his disciple was too unreliableāhow could he treat their Bai Dou like this?
Look at this little appearance, how pitiful!
Yet, seeing this, Cheng Hui just had to tease it. “Yo, your master hasn’t come back. He lied to you.”
“Third Senior Brother, don’t say that. Bai Dou can understand,” Luo You said, unable to bear it.
However, Bai Dou ignored them, simply standing at the entrance of Guicang Peak, fuming.
Cheng Hui poked Bai Dou’s little head, puzzled. It was just a small thing, not particularly good-looking either, so why was everyone fighting over it?
“You might as well change masters. Looks like your master forgot about you long ago.”
“Who do you think it should change to?”
A cold voice rang out. Cheng Hui stiffened, feeling like thorns were pricking his back.
He turned slowly and saw his Senior Brother and Sisters had returned. He forced a smile. “Eldest Senior Brother, I was joking.”
“Wah~~~!”
“Ji-li-gu-lu, wah~ woo~ wah!”
The clever white fat radish threw itself into Ye Jingxian’s arms. Pointing at Cheng Hui, it chattered and babbled, launching a flurry of complaints while crying. Anyone who didn’t know better would think something terrible had been done to it.
Cheng Hui was stunned by it. Staring at his Eldest Senior Brother’s gaze, he hurriedly explained, “No, I didn’t do anything. I just said two sentences to tease it.”
Bai Dou didn’t care what he said. It babbled another round of ji-li-gu-lu, crying wah-woo-wah-woo.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyue was a bit confused, as he had never seen Bai Dou cry before. He wanted to go forward and hug it, but it pretended not to see him. It insisted on staying in Ye Jingxian’s arms, turning its back to Lin Qingyue, pointing at him and filing another complaint.
If he didn’t understand this, he would have raised the little guy for nothing all this time.
Lin Qingyue, who originally felt heartache, put away half of his sympathy and said worriedly to Ye Jingxian, “What should we do, Eldest Senior Brother? Bai Dou is crying.”
His porcelain-white face was full of worry and distress. Ye Jingxian’s gaze fell on Cheng Hui once again.
“No, I didn’t make it cry.” Cheng Hui felt incredibly unlucky; nothing good ever happened when he encountered Lin Qingyue. He grabbed Luo You. “Fourth Junior Brother, testify for me! Did I make it cry, or did it cry because its unreliable master left it behind?”
Ye Jingxian, who considered himself Bai Dou’s half-master, glanced at him indifferently. “Third Junior Brother’s injuries should be mostly healed. It’s a good time to inspect your swordsmanship in a moment.”
Cheng Hui’s eyes widened instantly. He felt indignant but had to swallow his grievances like a mute eating bitter herbs.
The corners of Lin Qingyue’s mouth almost couldn’t stay down. On the surface, he looked heartbroken and tried to pet Bai Dou, but the creature was being haughty and refused to be touched.
He didn’t believe in evil; if Bai Dou wouldn’t let him, he insisted on touching.
“Eldest Senior Brother, hold it properly, let me pet Bai Dou.”
“It definitely missed me.”
Lin Qingyue reached out quickly, but Bai Dou ran straight from Ye Jingxian’s arms onto his shoulder, refusing to be touched.
Man and beast were locked in a stalemate. Lin Qingyue laughed out of anger. Whose side was it on, anyway? Earlier, when it was tattling on Cheng Hui, he had cooperated so well, yet now it wouldn’t even let him touch it.
“Oh well, if you won’t let me touch, forget it. And here I was saying I brought spirit fruits for Bai Dou.”
Taking out a spirit fruit, Lin Qingyue pretended to look around. “Where is my Bai Dou? Where did it go?”
Ye Jingxian had just wiped the tears from the little guy’s face. Seeing his Little Junior Brother teasing it like this, he found it amusing and gently patted Bai Dou.
Lin Qingyue huffed, refusing to look at Bai Dou. “Eldest Senior Brother, who is this? My Bai Dou isn’t like this.”
For the first time, Ye Jingxian discovered there was such a difficult situation to judge. He pondered how to speak.
Meeting his Master’s gaze, he fell silent.
Ye Zhanxiu was listening to Wen Hongyu recount the journey’s events and happened to see this interesting scene. The corners of his mouth tilted up slightly.
“With Little Junior Brother’s arrival, Guicang Peak has become much livelier,” Wen Hongyu said. “Master, are you just going to watch Eldest Senior Brother be put in a difficult spot?”
Ye Zhanxiu gave a light hum and said calmly, “Your Eldest Senior Brother is most skilled at settling disputes for others. As his teacher, I am not worried.”
Wen Hongyu saw his subtle smile and didn’t expose him, echoing, “Master is right.”
Ye Jingxian, who couldn’t find words for a long time: “…”
