Chapter 56 The Rebellious Disciple Arrives

Purple Bamboo Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a fairyland.

Compared to the "ant nest" of the outer sect, which was filled with the stench of mold and the aura of despair, this place was simply another world.

Immortal cranes danced in the clouds, and spiritual springs tinkled in the mountain streams.

With every breath, one could inhale Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi so dense it was almost liquid.

Two long rainbows streaked across the sky and landed steadily on the white jade plaza of Purple Bamboo Peak.

It was Su Ye, who had just finished harvesting his "chives," and his Third Junior Sister, Lin Qingzhu.

"Senior Brother, that Ye Fan..."

Lin Qingzhu put away her spiritual sword, a hint of hesitation in her cold eyes. "Although we broke his hands and feet, I always feel... his destiny is somewhat strange, it seems..."

"It seems very difficult to kill him completely, right?"

Su Ye stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering. The divine light in his double pupils was restrained, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Qing Zhu, you must remember."

"If you cut the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze will make it grow again; that is a principle for the mundane world."

"But in the world of cultivation, some chives can grow back after being harvested. As long as you control the heat well, he will be our endless ATM."

Lin Qingzhu nodded, seemingly understanding yet not fully grasping it.

Although she didn't quite understand what an "ATM" was, Senior Brother's words were absolute truth.

Just then.

A pink figure, like a swallow returning to the woods, darted out from the nearby Listening to Rain Pavilion.

Bringing with her a gust of fragrant wind.

"Senior Brother—!!!"

Her voice was charming, filled with a hint of grievance, a bit of coquettishness, and a sweet tone that made one's bones go soft.

It was the Junior Sister, Qin Yurou, who had just been slaughtering in the martial arts arena and had personally chopped her former "childhood sweetheart" into a human stick.

However.

At this moment, where was even a trace of the ruthlessness and decisiveness Qin Yurou had shown earlier?

Her eyes were red, her waterfall-like black hair was slightly messy, and the ice heart moon lotus hairpin on her bun trembled slightly, making her look pitiable.

She ignored Lin Qingzhu completely and threw herself into Su Ye's arms.

Her hands gripped Su Ye's lapels tightly, and she lifted her exquisitely beautiful little face. Tears swirled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"Senior Brother... wuwuwu... Yuruo is in so much pain..."

Su Ye's body stiffened slightly, then he smiled helplessly.

This girl. Is she addicted to acting?

He reached out and expertly patted Qin Yurou's little head, his tone gentle as jade. "What's wrong? Who dares to bully my Yuruo?"

"If Revered Master finds out, she will probably skin that person alive."

Lin Qingzhu, standing to the side, twitched the corner of her mouth.

Bully her? On the martial arts arena today, who was actually bullying whom?

That Ye Fan had been chopped up like that; he was probably still repenting in Hell right now. And this Junior Sister, instead, ran over to complain of pain?

"It's not someone else..."

Qin Yurou sniffled and extended her right hand, presenting it to Su Ye.

That soft hand, which was originally white as jade with fingers like slender onions, was now bright red in the palm, and even slightly swollen.

"Senior Brother, look..."

"This is where I got hurt when I hit that Ye Fan."

"How is that guy's skin so thick! It's like a city wall!"

"Yuruo was too angry at the time and couldn't help but use all my strength to slap him. As a result... as a result, the recoil made my hand hurt so much..."

"And..."

As Qin Yurou said this, the grievance in her eyes deepened, even carrying a trace of disgust and nausea.

"And it feels so dirty!"

"After touching that disgusting guy, Yuruo feels like my hand isn't clean anymore!"

"Senior Brother, you have to blow on it for me, and you have to help me wash away those dirty things... otherwise, Yuruo doesn't even want this hand anymore!"

If Ye Fan were here right now and heard these words, the hands and feet he had just reattached would probably break again from anger.

She hit someone and then complained that his skin was too thick and hurt her hand? And complained it was dirty? This was simply killing them and then attacking their heart!

But when Su Ye heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He lowered his head, his double pupils, capable of seeing through falsehoods, swept gently over Qin Yurou's palm.

[Qin Yurou]

[Status: Desperately seeking attention, acting coquettish, wanting to be petted, feeling happy inside.]

[Injuries: Minor skin redness and swelling (will heal if not treated soon), psychological mysophobia (severe).]

As expected. This bit of redness and swelling, for a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage, would disappear after circulating Qi for one cycle.

This girl was purely looking for an excuse to get close to him.

However. As a qualified big villain, how could he miss such an opportunity to farm favorability points delivered to his doorstep?

"Sigh, what a silly girl."

Su Ye sighed, a hint of perfectly appropriate "heartache" appearing in his eyes.

He gently grasped Qin Yurou's soft, boneless little hand and held it in his palm.

The touch was warm, delicate, and smooth.

"For that kind of trash, to hurt your own precious body, is it worth it?"

As Su Ye spoke, he took Qin Yurou's hand and walked toward the nearby Purple Bamboo Pavilion.

"Qing Zhu, go brew a pot of tea. Use the 'Enlightenment Spiritual Tea' that Revered Master keeps in her collection."

Su Ye ordered without turning his head.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Lin Qingzhu looked at their intimate backs, a flash of envy in her eyes, but she still obediently turned to prepare the tea set.

Inside the pavilion. Su Ye sat down and pulled Qin Yurou in front of him.

"Sit properly, don't fidget. Senior Brother will heal your injury."

Qin Yurou sat obediently on the stone stool, leaning forward, with almost half her body pressed against Su Ye.

She blinked her big eyes, looking at Su Ye with anticipation.

"Senior Brother, will it hurt? That Ye Fan must have some poverty-stricken virus on him; will it be contagious to Yuruo?"

Su Ye resisted the urge to roll his eyes and circulated the Longevity Spiritual Power within his body.

Hum—! A ball of soft emerald green light condensed at his fingertips.

That was Wood-attribute Spiritual Power, filled with vitality and creation.

"Bear with it, it might be a little itchy."

Su Ye did not directly use his Spiritual Power to erase the redness and swelling; that would be too fast and lacked romance.

He extended his slender fingers, stained with spiritual light, and pressed them gently onto Qin Yurou's palm.

His fingertips slowly circled over the red and swollen area, massaging it gently.

"Umm..."

Qin Yurou's delicate body trembled, her red lips parted slightly, and she let out a soft moan that made one's imagination run wild.

A tingling, numb sensation spread from her palm, up her arm, and instantly throughout her entire body.

That was Senior Brother's Spiritual Power! So warm! So comfortable!

It was as if Senior Brother's aura was seeping into her body, bit by bit.

"Senior Brother... gent... gently..."

Qin Yurou's face was like peach blossoms, her eyes were unfocused, and her breathing became a bit hurried.

She looked at this man in front of her, handsome as a demon. His focused gaze made it seem as if her hand was the only thing left in the entire world.

This feeling of being spoiled and cherished made her Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart tremble.

[Ding! Qin Yurou's favorability has increased!]

[Ding! Detected that the host's behavior is extremely doting. Qin Yurou's yandere attribute has slightly increased, and her dependency has deepened!]

[villain points +1000!]

The System's notification sound rang in his mind. Su Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and his movements became even gentler.

While massaging, he said in a low voice, "Yuruo, you must remember. Your hands are for holding swords, for Alchemy, and also for..."

Su Ye paused, raised his head, and looked at her with deep eyes. "And for being held by your Senior Brother."

"Not for hitting those dirty things. Next time you want to hit someone, tell Senior Brother, or let those stewards and Puppets do it. Why soil your own hands?"

Boom! This sentence was simply a full-score critical hit of sweet talk!

Qin Yurou only felt a "buzz" in her brain; she was about to melt completely.

"Se... Senior Brother... Yuruo knows... Yuruo will listen to Senior Brother from now on..."

She couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to ask for more.

Just then, "Senior Brother, the tea is here."

Lin Qingzhu walked in carrying a tea tray, interrupting the romantic atmosphere.

Qin Yurou pouted in dissatisfaction and glared fiercely at Lin Qingzhu.

Hmph! An oblivious lightbulb! Third Martial Sister is the most annoying!

Su Ye withdrew his hand calmly; the redness and swelling on her palm had long since disappeared, replaced by even more translucent and crystal-clear skin.

"Alright, the poisonous gas is gone, and the redness and swelling have faded."

Su Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Senior Brother~ Senior Brother is the best~"

Qin Yurou raised her hand, looking left and right, as if this hand had become a rare treasure.

"Alright, stop being vain."

Su Ye put down the teacup, his gaze becoming a bit more serious.

"In today's battle at the martial arts arena, although you won a complete victory, it also exposed your instability of mind. Facing an ant, you actually got genuinely angry."

"This does not fit the status of our Purple Bamboo Peak Disciples. Go back and copy the Clear Heart Sword Art one hundred times to calm your mind."

Qin Yurou's little face instantly fell. "Ah? One hundred times?"

"Senior Brother~ Can I not copy it~" She tugged on Su Ye's sleeve, shaking it back and forth.

"Two hundred times." Su Ye was expressionless.

"Don't, don't, don't! One hundred times! Just one hundred times!"

Qin Yurou was so scared she quickly covered her mouth, her big eyes rolling around.

Although she was punished, her heart was sweet. Because she knew that Senior Brother was caring about her cultivation and doing it for her own good. This is love!

"Right." Su Ye seemed to remember something and looked toward the top of Purple Bamboo Peak, at the Cold Moon Palace shrouded in layers of Formation.

That was the sleeping palace of Revered Master Leng Yueli. It was also the place where he, this "Rebellious Disciple," often went to "offend his superior."

Just a moment ago, while healing Qin Yurou, he received a very subtle sound transmission in his Divine Sense.

It was Revered Master's unique, cold voice, but it carried a hint of laziness and... longing that only he could understand.

'Yeer, have you touched that little girl's hand enough?'

'My shoulders... are also a bit sore today.'

'Why don't you hurry up and get in here to... give your Revered Master a massage!'

Thinking of that Revered Master who was usually high and mighty, holy and inviolable, but in private was a little woman who loved to be jealous and had an extremely strong possessiveness.

A wave of lust couldn't help but rise in Su Ye's lower abdomen.

Ever since that night, when the two of them broke through the window paper, and with the help of the Saint-grade Cultivation Technique "Yin Yang Creation Scripture," they had conducted a deep exchange of Soul and body.

This stunningly beautiful Revered Master, who possessed the cultivation of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, had completely developed a taste for it.

On the surface, she was the dignified Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak. In private, she wished she could hang herself onto Su Ye.

"Ahem." Su Ye coughed twice and stood up. He adjusted his slightly messy robes.

"Alright, you two, Cultivate well and consolidate today's insights."

"Especially Yuruo, don't forget to copy the book."

"Senior Brother... still needs to go report the situation of the grand competition to Revered Master."

Hearing the word "Revered Master," Qin Yurou and Lin Qingzhu immediately became obedient.

On Purple Bamboo Peak, the majesty of Revered Master Leng Yueli was absolute.

Although they always felt that Revered Master had become a bit strange recently. Sometimes the way she looked at Senior Brother... was weird.

And her skin seemed to have become more and more hydrated and lustrous, and her whole person radiated a charm like a ripe peach.

Could it be that her cultivation is about to have a Breakthrough again?

"Yes, Senior Brother." The two women replied in unison.

"Senior Brother, Revered Master seems very strict recently, be careful when you go in to report, okay." Qin Yurou kindly reminded him.

"Last time I went to pay my respects, Revered Master was losing her temper, saying something... something like 'The little bastard used too much force'."

"Anyway, Senior Brother, don't make Revered Master angry."

Su Ye stumbled and almost lost his footing.

Little bastard? Too much force? Ahem... wasn't she scolding him?

No choice. Who let that "Yin Yang Creation Scripture" be so domineering, and who let Revered Master's Saint Realm Physical Body be so Soul-stirring?

"Ahem... I know." Su Ye turned back and gave them a "don't worry" look.

"Senior Brother has his own discretion. Revered Master... is actually very reasonable."

After speaking, Su Ye's figure flashed, turning into a stream of light, heading straight for the Cold Moon Palace on the mountaintop.

Leaving only Qin Yurou and Lin Qingzhu in the pavilion, staring at each other.

"Third Martial Sister." "What?"

"Do you think Senior Brother will be scolded by Revered Master?"

"Should... not, right? Senior Brother brought great honor to Purple Bamboo Peak this time."

"That's true... then is it a reward?"

Qin Yurou tilted her head and thought about it, then her eyes lit up.

"If only Revered Master could reward Senior Brother and me with Dual Cultivation... ah, pui, I mean, Cultivate together."

Lin Qingzhu shook her head helplessly. This Junior Sister, she is really hopeless.

...

Outside the Cold Moon Palace. The barrier automatically opened a gap, as if welcoming the Revered Master's return.

As soon as Su Ye stepped into the main hall, a refreshing, cold fragrance washed over him.

The main hall was vast and silent, with only a few eternal lamps emitting a dim light.

On the cold jade throne atop the high platform, a stunningly beautiful figure was lying on her side.

A moon-white palace dress outlined her breathtakingly perfect curves.

Three thousand strands of black hair were scattered casually, covering half of her peerlessly beautiful face.

A pair of slender, straight jade legs were faintly visible under the skirt, glowing with an ivory-like luster.

It was the youngest Elder of Primordial Origin Holy Land, the Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak, Leng Yueli!

At this moment, her breathtakingly beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, carrying a hint of laziness, a hint of playfulness, and...

A hint of unconcealable affection as she looked at Su Ye walking in.

"Disciple Su Ye, pays respects to Revered Master."

Su Ye walked to the bottom of the platform and did not bow down as usual, but bowed slightly, a wicked smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"I heard Revered Master's shoulders are sore? Disciple has come specifically... to perform filial piety."

Leng Yueli parted her red lips slightly, her voice cold but with a hint of hoarseness: "Hmph. Just now outside, weren't you touching her quite happily?"

"What? Haven't had enough touching? Since you're here, why are you standing so far away? Why don't you come here..."

She extended a jade finger and beckoned gently to Su Ye.

That moment of charm was enough to make the world lose its color and make Buddhas return to the secular world.

Su Ye took a deep breath, and the double pupils in his eyes instantly became burning hot.

Since the chives had been fertilized, now... it was time to properly "perform filial piety" to this tsundere Revered Master.

"Yes, Revered Master. Disciple is coming right now... to help you properly check your body."
