“Sister Lan, come, sit sit sit.” Qin Changqing enthusiastically invited, “Don’t be polite, treat it like your own home.”
Jin Xiaoxiao displeasedly said, “Brother Qin, I don’t see you being this enthusiastic every time I come.”
Qin Changqing didn’t speak, thinking to himself that it’s because Jin Xiaoxiao has always refused to have children with him. So if she doesn’t agree, why would he treat her so well, right?
“Thank you, Brother Qin.” Lan Shui’er took the tea and had a sip, finding it surprisingly ordinary. It was a very simple coarse tea, the kind that ordinary people drink, “Brother Qin, do you usually drink this?”
Although Lan Shui’er wasn’t particularly fond of drinking tea, she would occasionally taste it using high-quality ingredients. Even someone who wasn’t an expert could tell the difference.
“Yeah, it’s pretty good.” Qin Changqing laughed, “The people in Yinxu
Prefecture love to drink it, and I love to drink it too. I’m not a tea connoisseur, so I don’t drink tea for the taste.
Lan Shui’er suddenly became curious, “Then what do you drink?”
“I drink human emotions and worldliness, the various aspects of life, the way of nature. In short, I drink tea in my leisure time and think about things. It’s quite nice.”
Lan Shui’er admired, “Brother Qin’s realm is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.”
If someone else said this, there’s a high probability that they would be considered pretentious.
But when Qin Changqing said it, there must be a deeper meaning.
No other reason, he could claim the first place in the Tianti Road, there must be a reason for that.
Jin Xiaoxiao pouted, “What life’s meaning? Sister Lan, don’t listen to Brother Qin. He’s just talking nonsense. Brother Qin is clearly lazy every day.”
“Sister Jin.” Lan Shui’er gently scolded, “Sometimes what you see may not be the truth. For us cultivators to achieve success, it is not the result of overnight effort, nor is it due to luck once or twice a day. Brother Qin’s achievement on the Tianti Road is enough to prove his daily accumulation. In contrast, I’ve heard from fellow disciples on the mountain that you’ve been slacking off and delaying your cultivation during the time I wasn’t here.”
Jin Xiaoxiao’s words faltered, thinking to herself, when has Brother Qin ever worked hard at cultivating? I’ve been watching him, so why don’t I know?
As for herself, Jin Xiaoxiao felt that she’s been working very hard already.
“Alright, Sister Lan, don’t blame Xiaoxiao.” Qin Changqing smiled gently, “Everyone has their own opportunities. Xiaoxiao has a lively nature that is in tune with the way of nature, and maybe that’s where her opportunities lie. We can’t force these things, right? Just like Sister Lan missed this Tianti Road, it might not be a bad thing. As the saying goes, ‘calamity is fortune’s foundation, and fortune lies hidden beneath calamity,’ that’s just how it is.”
Lan Shui’er murmured, “Calamity is fortune’s foundation, fortune lies hidden beneath calamity...”
This sentence seemed to contain a lot of truth. Lan Shui’er carefully chewed it over, and she felt as if she had suddenly realized something important.
She stood up, bowed slightly to Qin Changqing, “Thank you for your guidance, Brother Qin.”
Imparting knowledge, enlightening and resolving doubts is a favor. For cultivators, it’s also an opportunity. Qin Changqing guided her, so naturally, she should thank him.
On the side, Jin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Hey, hey, hey, is Brother Qin really guiding Sister Lan? Why do I feel like he’s just fooling her? But Sister Lan seems to have understood something. Is it just me who hasn’t grasped that meaning?
“It’s a pity that senior brother Dao has gone traveling and doesn’t know when he will return.”
The group discussed for a while.
Now, Taiyi Academy has to deal with Taichu Sacred Land, and Lingxiao Sect has to deal with Dayan Dynasty’s side.
“By the way, how is that woman named Lingsu?” MO Ziya asked.
Mu Taixu and Liu Mengxian exchanged glances, and the latter nodded. Then, he told him about the recent situation.
When MO Ziya heard that Qin Changqing and Lingsu were married, he was flabbergasted.
“How foolish! How could you let Qin Changqing do such a thing?” MO Ziya said incredulously, “That woman is likely from Taichu Sacred Land. How can you feel assured leaving her by Qin Changqing’s side?”
“Elder MO, she is indeed from Taichu Sacred Land.’
“Then, you should be even more cautious leaving her by Qin Changqing’s side!”
“Qin Changqing has already subdued her.”
MO Ziya was so shocked that his beard curled up.
What did you say?
I didn’t hear you clearly!
Subdued? And even surrendered?
“Sect Leader Liu.” MO Ziya said displeasedly, “Although I’ve never had a Taoist Couple, I do have common sense. That woman clearly came to assassinate Qin
Changqing, how could she be subdued by him?”
“Wait, did that kid use some sort of soul-controlling technique? ...No, she’s from Taichu Sacred Land; she must have preventive measures. Did he manage to kill her and turn her into a puppet?”
“Elder Mo.” Mu Taixu said helplessly, “None of those happened. Although we don’t know how he did it, she is indeed subdued. Lingsu is still Lingsu; she hasn’t been controlled or turned into a puppet.”
At this moment, MO Ziya was deep in doubt.
What happened? Has the cultivation world really changed this much since he last ventured out?
“Forget it, since you all say so, it must have been verified. I don’t feel like interrogating her. But I must remind you, the people of Taichu Sacred Land are not simple. Make sure that kid is careful.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll be guarding him on Taixuan Peak.” Liu Mengxian finished, then hesitated, “Elder MO, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“Go ahead.”
Liu Mengxian asked the other Peak Masters to leave first, then said, “Elder MO, how much do you know about Jiexian Gate?”
MO Ziya frowned: “Why are you asking about them? Sect Leader Liu, your focus should be on Dayan Dynasty. Don’t bother with Jiexian Gate’s matters.”
In his opinion, Lingxiao Sect was just a Tier 5 sect. Even though they now possessed Fourth Grade strength, it was not enough in front of Jiexian Gate, let alone Taichu Sacred Land..
