Chapter 133 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"Xiao Bai Lian, come, have some tea," Lin Jingyi said with a smile as she handed Bai Lian a cup of tea. "The tea leaves are from the Four Symbols Sprout of the Tianyin Valley, brewed with Tianyin Spring water. It has the effect of nourishing the meridians and regulating spiritual energy, which is very effective for consolidating cultivation." "I left Tianyin Valley in a hurry and didn't bring much with me. I rarely take it out to drink. You should try it." "Thank you, Aunt Lin," Bai Lian felt a bit overwhelmed. She may have always stayed in the Yaoji Peak, isolated from information, but she had heard about the Four Symbols Sprout of Tianyin Valley. In fact, what Lin Jingyi said was not exaggerated at all; rather, it was too modest. The main use of the Four Symbols Sprout, a specialty of Tianyin Valley, is for making the main medicine for the Four Symbols Condensing Pill. The effect of the Four Symbols Condensing Pill is to dispel inner demons. Cultivators always seek to transcend the mundane world because becoming entangled with the mortal world makes it very easy to develop inner demons—the calamities that arise from within one's heart, causing all cultivators in the world to struggle against them. However, although there are many inner demons, there are few ways to dispel them. Hence, the Four Symbols Sprout is extremely precious. Now, Lin Jingyi was willing to bring out something like this to entertain her, showing that Lin Jingyi valued her. As for why she knew so much about the efficacy of the Four Symbols Sprout, it was entirely because she had flirted with the lord of Tianyin Valley in the game and then took away quite a few Four Symbols Sprouts in the process. But now... she had already given up that lifestyle! Bai Lian took a sip of the tea, and her eyes lit up instantly. After all, the game was just a game. Even if she drank Four Symbols Tea in the game, she couldn't taste its flavor. Even though she inherited memories from the game, her sensory perception of taste had become quite blurred. Now, as she tasted the Four Symbols Tea again, she was instantly amazed by its soft and mellow flavor. Not only that, she could feel her spiritual power being nourished, and her slightly unsettled state due to her recent breakthrough in cultivation was now much steadier. Most importantly, the Four Symbols Tea actually soothed the seductive spirit energy in her body! Although her seductive mark had already been sealed by Mu Xinghe, the seductive spirit energy in her dantian had always been affecting her, causing her to occasionally feel restless. After drinking the Four Symbols Tea, she felt refreshed and her body felt much lighter. "Such good tea!" she couldn't help but exclaim. "If you like it, I can give you some," Lin Jingyi offered. "How can I accept such kindness..." Bai Lian lightly bit her lip. She really wanted it! Naturally, Lin Jingyi noticed. She reached into her chest and then brought out several jade boxes and a jade bottle, placing them in front of Bai Lian. Bai Lian: ? What kind of spatial sorcery is this? Though Lin Auntie has a big chest, can she really fit so many things in that gap? No wonder she always smelled a fragrance while drinking tea—it was the fragrant tea leaves! "If I'm not mistaken, Xinghe's willingness to return home this time should have something to do with you, right?" "Otherwise, with Xinghe's character, I'm afraid she wouldn't come back even after my death." "How could that be, Aunt Lin, you are still very young," Bai Lian said. She was indeed correct. Despite Lin Jingyi being over three hundred years old, she was still considered young compared to the lifespans of the cultivators. Of course, the main purpose of her words was to please Lin Jingyi. Indeed, Lin Jingyi immediately smiled. After all, which woman doesn't like to be praised for being young? "Just compared to letting Xinghe come home, these things are nothing to me. So, you don't have to refuse. Just consider it Aunt Lin's gift to you for our meeting." "In that case, thank you, Aunt Lin." Seeing Bai Lian accept the Four Symbols Sprout and Tianyin Spring water, Lin Jingyi's eyes revealed a hint of a smile. "Xiao Bai Lian, how old are you this year?" Bai Lian was momentarily stunned. She didn't understand why Lin Jingyi suddenly asked about her age. But she honestly answered, "Aunt Lin, I just turned nineteen this year." "Nineteen... Although you are younger than Xinghe, for a cultivator—" "There's a saying that a woman's age is a secret," Lin Jingyi muttered to herself and then coughed before continuing. "If I'm not mistaken, you are now a Tengyun cultivator, right?" "Yes, I recently broke through to the Tengyun stage," Bai Lian obediently replied. In front of Huiyang cultivators, unless there were special means, she could absolutely not hide her cultivation level. That was the effect of the Yin Spirit. "A nineteen-year-old Tengyun cultivator is still a rare existence, even in the period when the Immortal Ascension Stairs have not been severed. No wonder that girl Gu Qingqing treasures you so much and even specially asked me to take care of you." Although she had seen it already, hearing Bai Lian admit it with her own mouth, Lin Jingyi still showed a surprised expression and couldn't help but praise. Master... Bai Lian was a little apologetic at first, but then her heart overflowed with warmth. Although Master had always said she hadn't fulfilled her duty as a master, and hadn't been able to give her more, in reality... Master had done a lot for her. Whether it was in her past life or this one, being Gu Qingqing's disciple was her honor. "Aunt Lin, you are too kind to praise me. My breakthrough to the Tengyun stage was also just a matter of luck. For this, I've also suffered quite a bit," she said with a bitter smile. "The seductive mark and seductive spirit energy are like a sword hanging over my head, and I don't know when it will fall." Despite her seemingly carefree appearance, she was actually in a very urgent situation during this period. "Regarding your situation, Xinghe also mentioned it to me. Although I don't have the things you need, I can give you a clue about the Tianxing Spring Water." "Really?!" Bai Lian immediately showed a pleasantly surprised expression. "But before that, Xiao Bai Lian, I want to ask you a question," Lin Jingyi said. "Aunt Lin, please ask," Bai Lian replied earnestly. To get the Tianxing Spring Water, no matter what Lin Jingyi asked, she would answer seriously! "What do you think of Xinghe?" "Huh?" Bai Lian was momentarily stunned, then remembered what Mu Xinghe had just communicated to her. So, Aunt Lin... really saw her as a potential daughter-in-law? She felt a bit strange in her heart. Clearly, she had been a man for more than twenty years, and Mu Xinghe was her future wife in the game, but now everything had been reversed. Now it seemed like she might become Mu Xinghe's wife. But after experiencing so much, what with each of them hiding their memories and secrets, could they really return to that kind of relationship? Bai Lian felt a bit hesitant: "As for Mu Sister, she—" Just then, Mu Xinghe's appearance interrupted Bai Lian's answer. She leaned against the door frame, looked at Bai Lian's somewhat bewildered eyes, and said lightly, "White junior sister, you are tired from the journey. Rest first—I want to catch up with Aunt Lin." "As for the Tianxing Spring Water, I will explain it to you later." I just woke up! Bai Lian puffed up her cheeks. She was a bit displeased with Mu Xinghe's lying, but she also understood that Mu Xinghe was trying to help her out of the situation. It seems that Mu Xinghe was also confused about their relationship. "Aunt Lin, I won't disturb you and Mu senior sister's catch-up session, then," she said. After Bai Lian left, the smile on Lin Jingyi's face disappeared instantly, and she stared at Mu Xinghe with some annoyance. "Xinghe! I almost got Bai Lian to admit her feelings for you. Why did you let her go?" "You're already twenty-three. If you don't have biological children, Aunt Lin will soon die of old age!" Mu Xinghe was speechless. Lin Jingyi was apparently talking nonsense. As an esteemed Huiyang cultivator with a life span of over a thousand years, she was saying that at three hundred years she was close to death? Does she think she's an ordinary person with an average life span of only forty or fifty years? She was better off saying she had fallen into demonic cultivation and was at the end of her life. "Aunt Lin, I understand your feelings, but there really is nothing between Bai junior sister and me," she said helplessly. "Nothing?" Lin Jingyi instantly gave her a displeased look. "Do you think Auntie is blind? Your eyes are almost sticking to Bai Lian. And you say there's nothing?" "You've had a dull personality since you were a child, and only Jiang Miao was willing to be your friend. But then even Xiao Miao made a fuss with you." "Now finally there's someone you like, if you don't strive to hold onto them, won't you regret it only after losing them?" Mu Xinghe fell silent for a moment. Auntie was right—her memories from her previous life constantly proved that if you didn't strive to hold onto someone you liked, you would deeply regret it once they were gone. But Aunt Lin didn't understand. Her feelings for Bai Lian were mostly derived from memories of her previous life, rather than her current time spent with Bai Lian. In her past life, she had sworn not to have any connection with Bai Lian, even if she were reborn, she would still only secretly observe Bai Lian in this life. But now, she couldn't help but appear by Bai Lian's side in this life. Sometimes, she couldn't even distinguish what kind of feelings she had for Bai Lian in this life. But no matter what, she couldn't recklessly devote her feelings from her previous life to Bai Lian in this life. In that case... it's really unfair to the present Bai Lian. "Xinghe, I don't know what you're agonizing over, Auntie." "But take it from Auntie's advice—Bai Lian is truly exceptional, and she will definitely attract more and more attention. If you continue to hold onto this mentality, you will lose her sooner or later." "A girl like Bai Lian must be held in the palm of your hand in advance." Mu Xinghe smiled bitterly, "Aunt Lin, you yourself said that Bai junior sister is a girl, and we—" Lin Jingyi glared, hands on her hips, and said, "What's wrong with both of you being girls? You are a cultivator yourself, don't you know that partners do not care about gender?" "Always worrying about this and that." "Are you going to wait until Bai Lian is held by someone else and has children to feel regret?!" "When it comes to this, I'm getting angry!" "If it wasn't for me being as meddlesome as I am now back then, I would have taken your mother down long ago!" Suddenly, Lin Jingyi realized she had let slip an incredible secret in her agitation. She slowly sat down and quietly took a sip of her tea. The two fell into an extremely awkward silence. A big question mark seemed to pop up over Mu Xinghe's head. ?
