“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?
Jin Xiaoxiao wanted to ask, but she was afraid that Lan Shui’er would say she didn’t have enough comprehension, so after thinking it over, she decided to keep her mouth shut.
After a cup of tea, she finally asked, “Brother Qin, are you not cooking chicken today? I haven’t had it for several days.”
Qin Changqing had closed himself up these two days. Jin Xiaoxiao saw that his room door was tightly shut and guessed that he was either exercising with his wives or had something important to do, so she didn’t disturb him. “Cooking chicken?” Lan Shui’er tilted her head, feeling like she had heard a novel term.”
“Yeah, yeah, the chicken Brother Qin cooks is so delicious! His skills are good enough to set up a stall at the foot of the mountain.” Jin Xiaoxiao said with excitement on her face.
Seeing Lan Shui’er’s puzzled gaze, Qin Changqing smiled slightly, “That’s a way too.”
Jin Xiaoxiao.
Wait, cooking chicken is just that – what does it have to do with the Way?
“We cultivators comprehend the Great Way and often don’t realize that the Way is within nature. The heavens, earth, and all things have the Way. It doesn’t matter what form it takes; what’s important is how we perceive it. Birth, aging, sickness, and death – we can find the way even in something as simple as caring for flowers and plants in our spare time. It’s a way of understanding and improving our state of mind.” Qin Changqing spoke slowly, gentle and elegant, as if he was really imparting some profound truth.
Lan Shui’er thought it made sense. The way of heaven and earth was present in everything; this was a commonly held belief in the world of cultivation. She just hadn’t reached a high enough level to perceive it.
Who would have thought that Qin Changqing could have such insights?
“Brother Qin is indeed the number one genius in Qingyun Realm.” Lan Shui’er exclaimed.
“Where, where, I’m just a fool who has spent more time researching it, that’s all.
“It’s a talent in its own right, being able to research and achieve results is something ordinary people can’t do. Brother Qin, don’t be modest.”
“Haha- Sister Lan, you’re too kind… Speaking of which, I heard you talking about the Disaster-Alleviating Golden Elixir earlier. If Sister Lan needs it, I can help you refine it.” Qin Changqing stood up and laughed, “Come, come, I’ll take you to see the Blood Coral King.”
Lan Shui’er felt somewhat expectant, so she followed Qin Changqing to the Spiritual Garden together.
Jin Xiaoxiao sat alone beside the tea table.She suddenly felt confused.
What are they talking about? Why can’t I understand?
On the other side.
Inside the Sect’s main hall.
Liu Mengxian and several Peak Masters met with MO Ziya from Taiyi Academy.
The latter appeared calm, but upon closer inspection, his breath was unstable, as if he had been through a fierce battle.
“Elder MO, how are you?” Liu Mengxian asked.
“I’m fine; that guy is from Taichu Sacred Land, and his strength is similar to mine. We fought for three days and nights, and ended in a draw.” MO Ziya waved his hand. At their level, they wouldn’t easily risk their lives since their cultivation was hard-won.
“I didn’t expect Taichu Sacred Land to act so quickly!” Mu Taixu worriedly said, “Their power in the North Region is strong. If they want to kill Qin Changqing, then…”
“You need not worry about that!” MO Ziya said, “I’ve contacted the main academy, and the principal will watch over Taichu Sacred Land’s movements. Unless Jiexian Gate intervenes, there won’t be many problems.”
Liu Mengxian nodded: “Then it’s just the Dayan Dynasty’s side. Those old immortals have been lurking since the incident at Tianyuan, and they probably won’t let such a good opportunity pass.”
“Hmph! They will definitely make a move!” Lu Jingtian said coldly, “The fortune of Dayan Dynasty has been declining in recent years. They need this incident to regain favor with Taichu Sacred Land.”
“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..
