Chapter 973 - 457: The Sect’s Generous Rewards; Jiaming’s Arrangements

Cangli Courtyard.

"True Inheritor Bai is back!"

Qing Jun, who was rummaging in the kitchen with her butt sticking out, immediately rushed out upon hearing the noise.

Her voice was sweet,

making Bai Susu suspect she was hearing things.

Since when was this girl so friendly to her?

Heh heh...

Bai Susu was very clear in her heart; among Chen Ye’s three disciples, this little girl had the most tricks up her sleeve, sneaking glances at her from time to time, pretending she didn’t notice.

Whenever something unusual happens, there has to be a reason.

Sure enough, Qing Jun began skillfully to tattle, lowering her voice as if guarding against a thief:

"True Inheritor Bai, Master brought back a strange woman this time! During the meal just now, she kept calling Master ’big brother’ with every bite, making Qing Jun’s goosebumps fall all over the ground!"

Hearing this, Bai Susu almost couldn’t hold back from laughing out loud.

This little girl who usually guarded against her like some kind of enemy, is now facing an outsider and knows how to form alliances and use a borrowed knife to kill?

"At least you have some insight to know to seek help from this True Inheritor."

Bai Susu cleared her throat pretentiously and pinched Qing Jun’s chubby little face along the way. She generously pulled a Tier Two Spirit Fruit from the Storage Bag and stuffed it into Qing Jun’s hand,

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can bully you all!"

"Wow! True Inheritor Bai is the best!"

Qing Jun jumped for joy, hugging the fruit and throwing out a few more compliments, hoping to con a few more big fruits from this golden-haired bad woman!

Humph!

She had learned a lot from her senior sister, including enduring humiliation and seeking revenge later!

However, when she glanced behind Bai Susu, she was shocked.

Just as Bai Susu arrived, Qin Jiaming followed closely behind.

The girl stood with her hands crossed in front of her, graceful and gentle, her clear, moist eyes looking at her with a warm smile.

"Plop."

Qing Jun instantly shrank behind Bai Susu, exposing only half of her little head, and stammered while pointing ahead,

"Why... why did you follow too?"

She’s not afraid of Qin Jiaming!

She’s just afraid this person would tattle to her master!

"Qing Jun, were you just talking about Jiaming?" Qin Jiaming blinked innocently.

"I, I wasn’t! Qing Jun didn’t say anything!"

The little girl shook her head like a rattle drum.

She’s not a coward!

The wise know when to retreat and when to advance!

Bai Susu was amused by the little girl’s ability to endure and adapt, smiling slightly as she pulled the timid little girl out from behind her.

"Alright, stop hiding. This is Miss Qin, a guest your master brought back from Qi Kingdom. Your master was exhausted from the journey and is resting. I was worried Miss Qin would be bored alone, so I brought her to walk around the backyard."

The little girl frowned hard.

Useless little golden fur!

Of course, she knew this was someone master brought back from Qi Kingdom.

But that’s not the point; the point is that she’s a bad woman!

At this time, Zhiwei and Jin’er also heard the commotion and came over.

"It’s been a while since we last met, your cultivation has improved a lot. For the upcoming True Inheritor selection, the three of you will surely have a spot."

Only now did Bai Susu take a moment to properly observe the three girls.

She was shocked.

Unbeknownst to her,

The cultivation of these three girls was enough to astonish her, the top prodigy of Lingyin!

Among them, Jin’er was at Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, Zhiwei at Fourth Layer, and even Qing Jun was at Third Layer!

Keep in mind,

Bai Susu was now just at Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment!

"Uh... what’s going on with these three girls?"

Bai Susu mused,

"Could their cultivation surpass mine? This kind of thing..."

Thinking about the possibility of these three being stronger than her,

Bai Susu didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed.

In any case,

praise should be given nevertheless.

Bai Susu pulled out several exquisite Jade Bottles from the Storage Bag.

"Here, these are some Tier Two Elixirs I recently acquired. They’re the best for strengthening the foundation and promoting clarity of mind. Zhiwei, you and Jin’er can take them; they’ll greatly aid in stabilizing your cultivation. As for Qing Jun... you’re still in the early-stage Foundation Establishment, I don’t have suitable pills for your cultivation."

"Thank you, True Inheritor Bai."

Zhiwei accepted it, and Jin’er also timidly expressed her thanks.

The little girl was gnawing on the Tier Two Spirit Fruit, juice all over her face, thinking to herself how rich this little golden fur was!

Should she try to flatter more in the future?

Though it went against her true will, obtaining cultivation resources from her would lessen master’s burden, right?

Blast it!

Unknowingly, she was becoming like her senior sister... pfft, as tolerant as her!

"Sister Bai is really generous towards Big Brother’s disciples." Qin Jiaming chuckled softly.

From her perspective, she had long recognized the extraordinariness of these three girls.

But... given their master was Chen Ye, all of it was understandable.

"Naturally."

Bai Susu unabashedly accepted the compliment; her snow-white chin slightly raised, she feigned casualness and said,

"We are family—fellow disciples of Lingyin Sect, we are all family. Why would I be generous with outsiders instead of them?"

Qin Jiaming squinted slightly.

What an unabashed fellow...

...

The next day.

Chen Ye had a restful sleep.

As he stretched comfortably in the courtyard, a Sound Transmission Talisman shot through the air, landing steadily in front of him.

It was Bai Susu’s voice:

"Lazybones, are you awake? I’ve already stabilized those old geezers; the Grand Elder is now in Dubhe Hall. Quickly come over and say what we discussed yesterday. As for Qin Jiaming... I’ve arranged Zhiwei to accompany her around the back mountain; you can rest assured."
