86: Chapter 86 Repairing the Sunflower Manual

At this moment, a man wearing specially crafted black armor and a black scarf covering his face ran over from a distance and knelt down. 'Sect Leader, everything has been arranged according to your instructions.'

'Understood. You may leave.'

'Yes, Sect Leader.'

After that man left, Dongfang Bai turned her head. 'Sister Lin, the aura of blood here is too heavy. How about we continue our conversation up on Blackwood Cliff?'

'That would be fine.'

'Then follow me.' As she spoke, Dongfang Bai turned to lead the way.

Su Xuan suddenly spoke up. 'What about the motorhome? We need someone to keep an eye on it!'

'motorhome?' Dongfang Bai was slightly taken aback and looked in the direction Su Xuan was pointing.

Seeing that 'colossal object,' a flicker of wonder flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Just now, she had been so focused on catching up with Sister Lin that she hadn't even noticed such a large carriage nearby.

Lin Chaoying explained with a smile, 'This is a modified carriage, made by Xuaner. It's almost like a house that can move.'

A house that can move?!

Hearing such a novel name for the first time, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but give Su Xuan a few more glances.

This little brat has this kind of skill too?!

Not only is he formidable in strength, but he also knows so many novel tricks. No wonder Sister Lin took him as her disciple.

'Alright, Xiao Bai, just have a few trusted followers watch over the carriage.'

As she spoke, Lin Chaoying suddenly thought of something and added, 'Preferably women. Xuaner is a bit particular and doesn't like other men getting close to the carriage.'

'Mhm, alright.' Dongfang Bai thought for a moment, then took a whistle from her bosom and blew it.

Not long after, eight women arrived. They wore purple dresses, were completely covered up, and only their eyes were visible.

After arranging everything, Dongfang Bai led the group up Blackwood Cliff.

After all the commotion, it was already dusk.

Everyone sat around a raw wood table to eat.

'Sect Leader, the medicinal herbs have arrived.'

'Bring them in.' Dongfang Bai casually replied as she placed a chicken drumstick in Gongsun Lüe's bowl.

Looking at the eight large chests on the ground, Dongfang Bai smiled. 'Sister Lin, all the medicinal herbs within the sect that are over a hundred years old are here. I've also given orders to the other branch halls. More herbs will be delivered in a few days.'

As she spoke, a flicker of confusion and worry flashed in Dongfang Bai's beautiful eyes. 'Sister Lin, what do you need so many medicinal herbs for? Are you injured?'

Lin Chaoying shook her head with a smile. 'It's what Xuaner needs.'

'Little Su?!' Dongfang Bai's pretty eyebrows raised slightly as her gaze fell upon Su Xuan.

'What's the matter? You're reluctant to part with a few herbs after I help you kill a few Great Grandmasters?'

The corner of Dongfang Bai's mouth twitched. 'If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do.'

Dongfang Bai felt somewhat speechless inside.

Highly skilled in martial arts, handsome in appearance, full of surprises... Sister Lin's little disciple was excellent in every way.

To be honest, as Sister Lin's sworn sister and Su Xuan's elder, she actually quite liked him.

It's just that, for some reason, ever since she started calling him 'Little Su,' this guy seemed to find fault with everything about her, always contradicting her no matter what she said.

Could 'Little Su' be this little guy's taboo? But Sister Lin clearly told me to call him that!

I don't understand, I really don't understand!

'Alright, you two~ Why do you start arguing every time you talk?' Lin Chaoying couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes.

Coming to Blackwood Cliff this time, besides getting some herbs for her little disciple to brew wine, Lin Chaoying also had some other matters she wanted to attend to.

One of those matters couldn't be accomplished without both Su Xuan and Dongfang Bai.

If they keep bickering like this now, how will they manage when it's time to get things done?

Thinking of this, Lin Chaoying's gaze returned to Dongfang Bai. 'Xiao Bai, you haven't continued Cultivating that Cultivation Technique of yours, have you?'

'N-no, I haven't. Sister Lin told me not to, how would I dare?' Hearing this, Dongfang Bai's gaze became somewhat evasive.

In front of anyone else, given Dongfang Bai's temperament of 'remaining calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before her,' she could have pretended her way through it.

But in front of Lin Chaoying, Dongfang Bai couldn't pretend.

There was no helping it. Lin Chaoying treated Dongfang Bai too well.

In Dongfang Bai's heart, Lin Chaoying's importance was no less than that of her long-lost sister, perhaps even more.

Seeing Dongfang Bai like this, how could Lin Chaoying not know she hadn't listened? Her words held a hint of reproach mixed with heartache. 'I told you not to Cultivate it, yet you still did. Why are you so disobedient!'

Dongfang Bai hung her head, her face flushed, listening obediently to Lin Chaoying's scolding, not daring to offer the slightest rebuttal.

As she spoke, Lin Chaoying grasped Dongfang Bai's fair wrist to check her condition. After a moment, she let out a sigh of relief. 'Fortunately, there's no major harm.'

'You!' Lin Chaoying poked Dongfang Bai's forehead, then continued, 'Besides finding some herbs for Xuaner, I also came this time to resolve the issue with your Cultivation Technique.'

Dongfang Bai's eyebrows lifted slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with joy. 'Sister Lin, have you found a way to repair the technique?'

'No.' Seeing the visible disappointment in Dongfang Bai's eyes, Lin Chaoying shook her head with a smile. 'I can't, but someone else can.'

Before Dongfang Bai could voice her confusion, Lin Chaoying continued, 'But if you two keep bickering, that person might not be willing to repair it for you.'

'You mean... Little Su?' Dongfang Bai asked incredulously.

'Call me Brother Xuan! Otherwise, I won't fix it for you,' Su Xuan said with a laugh.

Although his Master hadn't mentioned this matter to him, listening to their conversation, Su Xuan had already guessed the general idea.

The Cultivation Technique Dongfang Bai practiced was a damaged version of the Sunflower Manual.

It must be that the Sunflower Manual had a problem. Since his Comprehension Ability and natural talent were far superior to his Master's, his Master probably wanted him to help Dongfang Bai repair it.

The corner of Dongfang Bai's mouth twitched again. 'I'd like to speak properly, but Little Su doesn't seem to want to.'

Lin Chaoying tugged on Su Xuan's sleeve and glared at him. 'Xuaner, don't be mischievous. Your xuantian sword was forged for you by Xiao Bai finding people to do it.'

Su Xuan was originally going to say something else, but feeling his Master's jade-like hand already resting on his waist, he pouted. 'Alright, alright, I'll listen to Master. I'll help her.'

How could he really not help? Su Xuan just felt unhappy hearing the words 'Little Su' and wanted to complain a bit.

Su Xuan picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, 'But we should finish eating first, right? We've been hungry all day.'

Seeing this, Lin Chaoying finally smiled again and placed a piece of Su Xuan's favorite spare rib into his bowl. 'Right, eat, let's eat first. We'll talk about other things after the meal.'

As she spoke, Lin Chaoying also placed a spare rib in Dongfang Bai's bowl. 'Xiao Bai, eat first.'

'Mhm~'

After the meal, the sky was pitch black, and all the women dispersed to rest.

Lin Chaoying said she had something to discuss with Mu Tingxue and also left.

Finally, only Su Xuan and Dongfang Bai remained in the room.

Before Dongfang Bai could speak, Su Xuan said first, 'Get on the bed!'

'What...'

...

...'
