Chapter 113 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"Teach? ... Not by pointing with your finger, right! Bai Lian shrank in her bed, gritting her teeth and muttering. She had considered every possibility, but never thought that the person accompanying her this time would be Mu Xing He! Mu Xing He had already given her quite a bit of pressure in the Taihua Sword Sect, but at that time, she still had her master by her side, so she didn't have to worry about Mu Xing He making a move on her. Now that Jian Li was in the Sword Tomb, Xiao Miao was captured and brought back to the Tianxuan Sect, and her master was no longer by her side, it meant that there was basically no one left to restrain Mu Xing He from acting on her. If Mu Xing He was truly a reincarnator, wouldn't she be walking into a lion's den by going to Xia Du with this guy? Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but sigh deep in her throat. This world full of difficulties was really too harsh on the innocent and lovely Bai Lian! She turned over like a salted fish, taking the fox that was sleeping on her pillow into her arms, and earnestly said, "Fox, it's just the two of us now. Why don't we elope together!" Su Yao, who was disturbed from her sleep, rolled her eyes. Serves you right for being so flirtatious in your previous life. If you obediently admit that you are indeed Bai Lian, and then go back to the White Ze Yao Nation with the fox to be the queen, the fox might actually help you. But now, it's out of the question, of course. She took advantage of it to snuggle into Bai Lian’s generous embrace, feeling the intoxicating tenderness, and continued to drift into a deep sleep. Her mastery of the dual-body divine power had not yet been perfected, and she spent most of her time asleep to conserve her strength without affecting Bai Ze's body. This trip to Xia Du, in addition to investigating the secret sect's covert killing of demon cultivators, she had other plans as well. If successful, she would achieve mastery of her divine powers. Then... heh heh, let Bai Lian taste what it's like to be taught by the fox. At that time, even Bai Ze's body would have to look at the fox in a new light, and gratefully give half of Bai Lian's time to her. Yes, the fox is really a far-sighted planner! Ha! Hahaha! Bai Lian suddenly shivered. Strange, why does it feel like something is staring at me? She looked around, only to suddenly find Gu Qing Qing standing quietly at the door, watching her. "Master?" Bai Lian was startled. "When did you come?" "Just now." Gu Qing Qing floated into the room and sat at Bai Lian's bedside. In fact, she had been here for a while, but she had been concealing her presence and secretly observing Bai Lian. Of course, she wouldn't tell Bai Lian that. After all, as a senior with advanced cultivation, it wasn’t dignified to sneak a peek at her own disciple. "Are you ready for the trip to Xia Du?" she asked. "Master, rest assured, I’m all set," Bai Lian replied. "Good. This time, I won't be able to take care of you when we're there. You must be careful," Gu Qing Qing added. Then she fell into silence. Although she wanted to warn Bai Lian of the possible dangers of this trip to Xia Du, she didn't know how to say it. "I have prepared some pills and talismans for you. Take them in case of danger." She took out various bottles and jars, as well as talismans, from her storage ring. These were little items she crafted in her free time, which weren't particularly useful for cultivators at the levels of Radiant Sun or Qianyuan, but were very suitable for those at lower levels. It wasn't that she didn't want to give Bai Lian something more substantial. The main reason was that at her level, the pills she prepared on a whim were more effective than most spirit medicines for those at the level of Cloud Soaring. For this, she carefully selected them. Throughout her past life and present life, she seemed to be an incompetent master. In her past life, she only brought Bai Lian into the sect and taught her a few sword techniques, then immersed herself in Bai Lian's tenderness, completely forgetting her responsibilities to guide and teach. Even in Bai Lian’s subsequent cultivation, most of her resources were acquired through her own adventures, with Bai Lian hardly asking her for anything. Bai Lian was her only disciple in hundreds of years of practice, and she was Bai Lian’s only master on the path of cultivation. Ultimately, both of them seemed to deviate from their original intentions. Sometimes she wondered if she would have been a good master if she hadn't fallen in love with Bai Lian, if she hadn't fallen in love with her own disciple. Maybe she would have, but she didn't regret it. In the long and arduous path of cultivation, enduring hardships and life-threatening situations, she couldn't endure loneliness. The world of cultivation was actually very indifferent, everyone pursuing the path to greatness, with few people having the leisure to care about others. Yet once the path to immortality was cut off, with all the years of life and no hope of ascension, without pursuits, they could only face this indifferent world. As a result, the indifference became even colder, and the loneliness became even more solitary. Even the closest relationships would become cold after experiencing a long and lonely life. But Bai Lian was different. Since she entered this path, she had seemed to be immune to loneliness. No matter the situation, no matter the atmosphere, she could find the most suitable topic. In the loneliest moments, Bai Lian was like a spring of water, thoroughly moisturizing her desolate heart. She yearned for this kind of moisture, yearned for even more, to the extent that she allowed Bai Lian’s closeness, and indulged in Bai Lian’s emotions. And she, too, gradually became addicted to this happiness. Even though she knew that Bai Lian's affection wasn't only for her, and even after her reincarnation, she still couldn't bear to let go. So she returned to the place where she first met Bai Lian, spending a lot of time searching and visiting, even using her divine sense to meticulously search, all in hopes of finding Bai Lian in this life. When she discovered that Bai Lian in this life had become a girl, she was caught in complex emotions. She felt a sense of loss because in this life, Bai Lian being a girl meant that they couldn't continue their relationship from their past lives. But she also felt a sense of relief because Bai Lian was now a girl in this life, and she could wholly regard Bai Lian as her disciple. Her original intention was simply to take on a disciple, to add some color to her lonely path of cultivation. Why did things turn out the way they did? That was not right. So this time, all she needed was to maintain a clean relationship as master and disciple with Bai Lian. As her master, witnessing her continuous growth, witnessing various people appearing by her side, witnessing her smiling like a bewitching flower at others, witnessing her... entering another’s embrace. "Also, this qi. Use it sparingly." Gu Qing Qing said, feeling a sudden surge of unrelieved anger. She looked down at the bottles and jars spread out on Bai Lian's bed, her gaze darkening a bit. But the next moment, Bai Lian threw herself into her arms. "Thank you, Master!" Bai Lian lay in her embrace, full of smiles. Her eyes were brimming with vitality, like the most beautiful thing in time.
