Chapter 14 Senior Brother, I'm Afraid of the Dark
Chapter 14 Senior Brother, I'm Afraid of the Dark
Qingyue Zhenren is just like her senior brother, the headmaster.
They're all unreliable guys.
Although he is reliable in critical moments, he doesn't act like a master most of the time.
Xu Nian was already used to her master's outrageous actions.
"Disciple Xu Nian greets True Person Qingyue."
Wu Qinghuan didn't react much, but Xu Nian retorted.
So he repeated what he had just said.
Well-behaved and clever.
Master Qingyue smiled broadly and nodded in satisfaction.
He patted them both on the shoulder.
"Good, very good. Finally, we have a male disciple who has entered the sect."
Then he turned to look at his third disciple, Fu Qiuyu.
He gave her an approving look.
"Little Qiuyu did a good job, so I'll reward you with... ten catties of sweet potatoes! Take the spirit stones and go down the mountain to buy them when you have time, and bring some snacks back for me while you're at it."
"It seems the fruit wine is ripe recently, remember to buy a few more jars."
"That's all. I still need to cultivate. You may all leave. Oh, right... Xiao Qiuyu, please teach them both cultivation methods. I will be in seclusion for a while and won't have time."
After speaking, she gently waved her fair hand.
The group left the room.
Wu Qinghuan seemed somewhat bewildered.
But Xu Nian and Fu Qiuyu knew that their master was sending them away so quickly because he was afraid of being refused when he tried to buy fruit wine.
The headmaster has told her many times that she cannot drink alcohol.
Drinking makes things worse.
Other elders may also have some favorite foods.
Perhaps they also enjoy drinking.
But no matter how much they drink, they won't get drunk.
Qingyue Zhenren is different; she never uses spiritual power to protect herself, and when she drinks, she simply drinks.
In addition, he has a low alcohol tolerance.
It's easy to finish a whole jar and then go straight to sleep.
If something suddenly happens, no one can contact her.
"Master's old problem has been around for so long..." Xu Nian thought to herself.
It turns out I didn't develop this skill after I first learned it.
I've enjoyed drinking for a long time.
He's really bad at the game but has a huge addiction to it.
Despite having a very low alcohol tolerance, he still enjoys drinking.
Xu Nian shook her head.
Fu Qiuyu, who was standing next to him, also sighed.
He looked at the spirit stone in his hand.
"Why are you only giving us so few spirit stones? What can we buy with that? Why is Master getting more and more stingy?"
Because Qingyue Zhenren made a mistake due to drinking.
The sect leader has stopped her salary.
As a result, the entire Xiaoyao Peak lineage was extremely poor.
Otherwise, Fu Qiuyu wouldn't have had to eat only sweet potatoes.
At least, we can eat some meat.
We can't live like this.
"By the way, do you two have any spirit stones?" Fu Qiuyu turned to look at Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan. "If not, silver will do, gold would be even better."
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Senior sister, we all come from poor mountain villages and don't have anything valuable on us."
"Sigh." Fu Qiuyu sighed.
Xu Nian suddenly felt like she had come to the wrong place.
Perhaps going to Dantang wouldn't be so bad?
I forgot that Xiaoyao Peak has always been very poor.
It was only after I entered the Foundation Establishment stage and started taking on a ton of quests that I was able to alleviate this predicament.
"Well, if we're careful with the money, it'll be enough. It's just that we can't embezzle any of it." The third senior sister spoke her mind in front of the two newly initiated disciples.
Not at all prepared.
Good grief, so you were planning to pocket it all.
"Alright, it's getting late. You two should get some rest and tidy up your own rooms. It's over there, see?"
Fu Qiuyu pointed in one direction.
That's the little house on the north side.
“Those two small houses are where you will live. There are very few disciples in our lineage, and our master is unreliable, so there aren’t many cave dwellings. However, the spiritual energy on the mountain is abundant, so it doesn’t matter where you live. You two go and tidy up yourselves. I’m going to bake… I’m going to cultivate.”
The third senior sister almost let slip, and added, "After you've tidied up the house today, remember to rest well. We'll start cultivating tomorrow. If you both reach the Body Tempering stage in three days, I'll take you two down the mountain to play and visit the nearby town."
He left after saying that.
She was afraid that Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan would drag her along to clean up.
Logically speaking, it's perfectly normal for a senior sister to help her two junior brothers tidy up their rooms.
But Fu Qiuyu was already hungry.
Continue eating.
If I don't eat, I'll get even hungrier, and if I get too hungry, I'll faint.
So we have to go roast sweet potatoes.
My senior sister left very quickly.
Xu Nian shook her head and walked towards the cabin with Wu Qinghuan.
There are exactly two houses on the north side.
Closely next to each other.
Originally, it was used to store miscellaneous items, but a clever person from the mountain sold off most of them in order to convert spirit stones into food.
So it's empty inside now.
There was spiritual energy flowing through the room, so it wasn't considered dirty.
But it's been quite a while.
It really needs a good cleaning.
"Come on, let's tidy up together. It'll probably take an hour to tidy up both rooms." Xu Nian rolled up her sleeves.
Wu Qinghuan looked at the two small houses.
"Actually, you don't need to clean everything up."
Ok?
What do you mean?
Xu Nian gave him a strange look.
Don't we need to clean everything?
Does that mean you deal with one and ignore the other?
Two people living together?
This…
We lived together in the miscellaneous servants' hall because there were too many servants.
There are too few houses at the foot of the mountain.
It's impossible for one person to have a room.
Now, the two have gone up the mountain and become disciples of the Xiaoyao Peak lineage.
The mountain is so big, and there are so many houses.
Do we have to live together again?
Wu Qinghuan turned her head calmly and said lightly, "I... am a little afraid of the dark."
ha?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Xu Nian's already strange expression became even more bizarre.
A future killing machine, a terrifying demon.
Afraid of the dark?
This is a bit too outrageous.
“This…” Xu Nian was momentarily at a loss. “Well, okay then, let’s live together.”
Xu Nian soon figured it out.
Actually, it’s just right.
Living together brings two people closer.
I can also better correct him and influence him with love.
It aligns with my grand plan!
But after entering the house, they started tidying up.
Xu Nian then realized that something was still amiss.
"Qinghuan, there's only enough room for one bed. If you and your senior brother were to stay together, then the two of us could..."
"Does my senior brother look down on me?"
Before Xu Nian could finish speaking, Wu Qinghuan raised her small face to look at him.
Her beauty was unparalleled, like a face made of jade.
Her pale red eyes were glistening with tears, as if she were about to cry from grievance.
Xu Nian was stunned.
I didn't say anything, so why are you crying?
What is this for?
Was this what the big devil looked like as a child?
They're too easy to bully.
"Alright, alright, your senior brother doesn't mind. He's just worried you might not feel comfortable. Since that's the case... then one bed is fine. We're living together anyway."
"Mmm." Wu Qinghuan rubbed her eyes.
Nodding with satisfaction.
While Xu Nian was tidying up the room, he glanced at the bed.
Not big.
But... that's good.
