Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Chapter 719 - 349: Zhiwei’s Secret! Crossing in March

After the battle,

a great commotion arose outside, with no shortage of cultivators coming to visit Chen Ye.

Among these cultivators, there were even quite a few who were Peak Master level figures.

But Chen Ye had no interest in getting involved too deeply, so he casually dismissed them with a few words before rushing back to his little home.

His disciple was already waiting for him at the courtyard gate.

The dark-haired girl quietly helped her master remove his outer robe and offered a cup of Spirit Tea:

"Master, the tea has just been brewed. Zhiwei tried it, and it’s warm and pleasing."

Honestly speaking,

Chen Ye actually doesn’t particularly like drinking tea.

But every time he returned home, his eldest disciple would always offer him tea. Not wanting to disappoint his disciple, he just had to show a look of enjoyment:

"Not bad... Is this our Lisong Valley’s Glazed Flower Tea? Hmm? But there’s an inexplicable spiritual essence added. Could it be Zhiwei’s secret recipe? Quickly, tell your master more about it."

The eldest disciple glanced at her master, feigning seriousness:

"This is Zhiwei’s secret! Master, don’t think about stealing it!"

This girl is even joking with her master now?

Chen Ye chuckled, downed the cup of tea in one go, and his disciple thoughtfully tiptoed to wipe his lips with a handkerchief.

How awful!

Your master is almost being pampered into a useless person by you...

"Alright! And you still have ancestral secrets, huh."

Chen Ye put down the teacup, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, his gaze casually sweeping to the shadow behind the courtyard gate, and he laughed,

"Jin’er, don’t hide, poking your head in and out. Do you think your master can’t see you?"

"Ah..."

A soft, mosquito-like gasp.

Then, a girl in a black dress with lacy white socks hesitantly came out, looking at her master with admiration,

"Master, you were amazing today! That sword strike, with a swoosh, and Peak Master Zhao was... just not moving!"

?

Chen Ye sensed something wasn’t right: "Did you go and watch today?"

Upon hearing this,

Jin’er’s initially excited face immediately froze.

Oh no!

Spoke out of turn!

The girl looked flustered, twisting her hands together, her eyes darting about, instinctively shrinking behind Zhiwei, looking just like the saying "there is no silver here."

"Um... well... it’s just..."

She stammered for a long time, finally like finding a lifesaving straw, pitifully looking at her senior sister,

"Senior sister..."

Chen Ye followed her gaze to Zhiwei, who was standing aside, pretending to focus on tidying the tea set.

Seeing there was no way out,

Zhiwei stopped pretending.

She put down the tea set, calmly said: "Master, please see clearly. Although I took my junior sister with me, I left a strand of Divine Thought to guard the small courtyard. If anything happened, I could return immediately."

With Master having a magical battle, how could Zhiwei not be worried?

Besides,

She feared the Spirit Snake Peak Master might play tricks, or if some accident happened, if so, she being there meant she could help Master immediately.

Moreover...

Zhiwei hadn’t seen Master make a move in a long time.

She wanted to watch.

"Ah, no wonder, when I came back, you had the Spirit Tea ready."

Chen Ye flicked his disciple’s forehead, showing no sign of blame.

"Hmm... at that time, Master was surrounded by cultivators, so Zhiwei took the opportunity to return to the Cangli Courtyard first."

Zhiwei lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Even though her secret sneaky viewing was discovered by her master, it still made her feel shy.

At this point, Jin’er, hiding behind, seeing that her master was not angry, blinked her eyes, poking her head out from behind Zhiwei, and quietly said:

"Senior sister even recorded Master’s magical battle with the Memory Stone! She said it was for future... mmm mmm mmm!"

Before she could finish speaking,

Zhiwei’s hands, which had been placed primly in front, swiftly covered her junior sister’s mouth.

"Master! Don’t listen to junior sister’s nonsense!"

The dark-haired girl’s cheeks flushed slightly as she solemnly explained,

"I just... just thought Master’s sword technique, the Cyan Wave, was profound and worth studying repeatedly. Recording it was to make it into a combat teaching material for our Cangli Courtyard, absolutely not for anything else!"

"Mmm mmm... wuu wuu!"

Jin’er, struggling under her senior sister’s suppression, her innocent big eyes blinking.

Senior sister is lying!

Earlier, when she wanted to watch, senior sister wouldn’t let her!

Senior sister is hiding things for herself!

Now, saying it’s for magical battle teaching material... that’s really unnecessary! The living Master is right in front of them; if they want to study, they can directly find Master, why go look at the Memory Stone!

"Alright, let go of your junior sister."

Chen Ye couldn’t help but laugh, waving his hand, not exposing his eldest disciple’s little schemes,

"Understanding the importance of reviewing is a good thing. Since you’ve recorded it, then keep it well. Joking aside, let’s not forget about business. Jin’er."

"Here!"

Jin’er, who had just regained her freedom, quickly stood straight, even wiping her mouth with her hand.

"Did you get ready what I asked for?"

Talking about business, Jin’er no longer played around.

She hurriedly took out an exquisite jade box, sealed with a spirit-binding talisman, from her Storage Bag, and carefully handed it to Chen Ye:

"Master, it’s all here. These are the scales shed by Qing Jun when forming a cocoon, three in total, and Jin’er has been nurturing them with gentle heat, so the spirituality is intact."

Qing Jun turning into an egg had taken about half a month.

During this half month,

Her little tail would always shed scales, roughly one every five days.

This puzzled Chen Ye greatly.

Because Qing Jun’s little tail had only recently grown, so why was it shedding scales so soon?

"Could it be that when Qing Jun turned into an egg, she heard my words... so she wanted to shed some scales to help her master?"

Chen Ye pondered to himself, taking the jade box, he gently opened the seal with his finger.
