Chapter 113: Does the Forbidden Ruins Hold the Secret to Immortality?
“Originally, I had no leads at all, but fortunately, there has been progress,” Ming Yu said with a smile.
Lin Qingyue was somewhat dazed by his smile. He turned his head to look at the scenery in front of him, unable to stop his mind from wandering.
“Senior Brother Ming, where do you think a person’s final destination is?”
“Junior Brother Lin’s question is rather interesting.”
Seeing that he truly didn’t understand, Lin Qingyue didn’t give up. “I heard everyone has their own guardian spirit. Does Senior Brother Ming have one?”
Ming Yu continued to smile gently. “This is my first time hearing of this. Why don’t you tell me about it, Junior Brother Lin?”
He asked curiously, seeming very interested. His eyes held a smile and sincerity. Lin Qingyue was momentarily at a loss for words; sure enough, he had overthought it.
If it were his Brother Yu, how could he not acknowledge him immediately? He would definitely have understood what he said.
Disappointed in his heart, Lin Qingyue forced a shallow smile. “It’s nothing. I just have a spiritual pet, and I wanted to ask if Senior Brother Ming had one.”
“Speaking of my spiritual pet, although it isn’t very beautiful, it is exceptionally cute and clever, very spiritual. Next time I’m free, I must let Senior Brother Ming see it.”
“No need for next time, I have time now. I am also curious about Junior Brother Lin’s spiritual pet. Few people in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect keep spiritual pets; one like Junior Brother Lin’s is rare.”
Lin Qingyue: “…”
He really wanted to cover his mouth. Why did he have to spout nonsense? The key was that the man had saved him and took his words seriously; it was hard for Lin Qingyue to refuse.
However, on second thought, he agreed. “Alright then.”
Patting his clothes, Lin Qingyue stretched his limbs. “Speaking of which, my spiritual pet is very likable. Junior Brother Yun liked it immensely back then too. It’s a pity Bai Dou only likes me.”
“Senior Brother Ming, it shouldn’t be hard for you all to find a spiritual pet for Junior Brother Yun next time, right?”
As he spoke, he observed Ming Yu’s expression. Seeing no reaction, Lin Qingyue rolled his eyes, a guess forming in his heart.
It seemed his interaction with the protagonist wasn’t much.
Ye Jingxian had just returned not long ago when Lin Qingyue brought someone over. And they wanted to see Bai Dou. Ye Jingxian stopped what he was doing and simply stopped working.
“Bai Dou, come here, come here.”
Lin Qingyue waved his hand, beckoning it over, then hugged it. “Senior Brother Ming, my spiritual pet is cute, right?”
He placed emphasis on the word “my.”
“Alright, go play.”
When he said look, he really just meant look. Lin Qingyue released Bai Dou. It turned and ran toward the kitchen where Ye Jingxian was.
“It is indeed very cute.”
“Right? I think it’s cute too.”
You’ve seen it, now you can leave, right?
Ming Yu pretended not to understand his meaning. “I didn’t finish the chess game with Senior Brother Ye. It’s a good time to continue playing with him.”
“My Eldest Senior Brother is devoted to cultivation; he might not have time.”
While Lin Qingyue was making excuses, Bai Dou and Ye Jingxian came out of the kitchen.
He indifferently handed a bowl of soup to Lin Qingyue. “I will play chess with Junior Brother Ming. Little Junior Brother, just make do with drinking this.”
Lin Qingyue took the soup and looked at them. Was he eating a solo meal, or was he eating a solo meal?
“Senior Brothers, take your time playing. I’m leaving first.”
After slowly finishing the soup and returning to the kitchen, Lin Qingyue discovered that if Ming Yu hadn’t come and played chess with his Eldest Senior Brother, he might have gotten more than just one bowl of soup.
“Detestable. Looking so alike, yet not being the person himself. Because of him, I only got one bowl of soup.”
He put down the bowl huffily. “Forget it, forget it. Even one bowl of soup was delicious.”
Ming Yu only played a simple game before leaving. Ye Jingxian put away the chessboard, holding a book in his hand, looking toward the door from time to time.
No one appeared. His face darkened. He didn’t see anyone until dark. Finally putting down the book he hadn’t absorbed a word of for half the day, he stood up and walked out.
Lin Qingyue, who had excitedly finished a small cycle of cultivation after drinking the soup, intended to just grab a few bites of whatever. Suddenly, he smelled an aroma. Following the scent, he found his diligent and virtuous Eldest Senior Brother cooking.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I thought you were still playing chess.”
“The winner was decided; there was nothing left to play.” He paused. “Besides, he is also very busy.”
“I couldn’t tell. I actually felt Senior Brother Ming was quite free.”
Otherwise, just because he casually mentioned it, Ming Yu actually came to see his spiritual pet. If that wasn’t being free, what was?
Lin Qingyue completely missed Ye Jingxian’s implied meaning; his eyes were only on the food.
Ye Jingxian suddenly laughed, leaving Lin Qingyue baffled.
Was his Eldest Senior Brother okay? Was he cooking until he couldn’t help but be happy?
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you like cooking very much? If you hadn’t cultivated the sword, would you have wanted to be a culinary cultivator?”
“Little Junior Brother.”
Ye Jingxian looked at him, hesitating to speak. Finally, he just said, “The two do not conflict.”
“I know. As long as Eldest Senior Brother is happy.”
“Hurry and eat. Practice your sword properly when we get back; I’ll accompany you. The Sect Competition is coming up. This year, aside from me and your Second Senior Sister, everyone from Guicang Peak must participate.”
Ye Jingxian served him soup while watching him eat, not moving his own chopsticks.
“It’s just the Sect Competition. Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Brother, I definitely won’t shame Guicang Peak.”
“There’s no need to be obsessed with first place. It’s just sparring between martial brothers; don’t take it too much to heart.”
Lin Qingyue nodded. “Mn.”
“By the way, how did you two meet today?”
“What?” Lin Qingyue looked up, not understanding.
“The road back to the peak isn’t close to Sword Dao Peak. How did Little Junior Brother meet Junior Brother Ming?”
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyue had things to say.
“Maybe Senior Brother Ming just returned to the sect and was very free. He was wandering around and we just happened to bump into each other.”
Ming Yu, who had just returned the previous day and was immediately dragged by the Sect Leader to do hard labor: ???
When he said cultivate, he meant cultivate. Lin Qingyue sparred with Ye Jingxian every day. Every time they fought, every time he lost.
It wasn’t until the day before the Sect Competition that he finally won a match against Ye Jingxian.
Sheathing his sword with practiced skill, if it weren’t for the narrow victory leaving him with little strength, Lin Qingyue would have definitely flourished a sword flower handsomely and added, ‘Nothing special, just practice making perfect.’
“Not bad, not bad. It shouldn’t be a problem for Qingyue to get a spot to enter the Forbidden Ruins in the Grand Competition,” Ye Zhanxiu said with satisfaction.
This Sect Competition seemed like a simple contest, but it was also a selection for the sect to pick outstanding disciples to go to the Forbidden Ruins.
This place was different from the previous secret realm; almost most disciples could go to that one, but very few could go to the Forbidden Ruins.
It was Lin Qingyue’s first time hearing of it. “Master, what is the Forbidden Ruins?”
Ye Zhanxiu didn’t explain but asked him, “Do you remember the day you entered the sect, when asked why you cultivated, you said you wanted immortality?”
“Naturally, I remember. This disciple said that.”
“The Forbidden Ruins was initially valued by everyone because it holds the secret to immortality. Countless people rush towards it like ducks.”
His tone shifted. “But…”
