Chapter 978 - 458: Master’s Gift, Reunion with Old Friends

A certain blonde girl was almost exploding, her silver teeth nearly shattered.

"That old man, how dare he make decisions for you without permission? You’ve risked life for the sect, yet he just dumps the mess on you as soon as you return!"

If it weren’t for Qin Jiaming still clinging to Chen Ye’s side,

otherwise,

Bai Susu would already be chasing after the Grand Elder for a thorough questioning.

Seeing the girl’s agitated appearance, Chen Ye immediately understood the quick escape of the Grand Elder.

Bai Susu was the Demon Lord of Mayhem in the Lingyin Sect!

She didn’t care if you were a Golden Core True Man, nor did she care about your seniority... If Bai Susu was truly angered, the Grand Elder’s beard might even lose a few strands.

"Alright Susu, calm down."

Chen Ye patted Bai Susu’s shoulder, smoothing things over,

"The Grand Elder also has his difficulties. Miss Qin’s identity is unique; going to those strictly regulated places on the main peak would only make her uneasy. Staying here with me as a regular guest saves a lot of trouble."

Qin Jiaming climbed the trees, nodding obediently and speaking softly:

"Yes, Sister Bai, Jiaming is easy to take care of. As long as there’s a place sheltered from the wind and rain, daily simple meals are enough; I won’t cause any disturbance for Big Brother. If Sister Bai is really unhappy, Jiaming could also meditate in the courtyard at night..."

These words came out, coupled with her pitiful appearance.

Anyone who didn’t know would think Bai Susu was a wicked woman bullying the kind.

"You—!"

Bai Susu choked with anger, pointing at Qin Jiaming, unable to utter a word for a while.

Yet, Bai Susu wasn’t stupid.

She suppressed the fire in her heart, her eyes shifted to Chen Ye, suddenly giving a cold laugh:

"Alright then, since the Grand Elder has spoken, as the junior I naturally wouldn’t dare defy the order and drive Miss Qin out."

A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Jiaming’s eyes.

Did this little blonde actually compromise?

But Bai Susu’s next words almost made Chen Ye choke on his own spit.

"However!"

Bai Susu raised her snow-white chin, speaking confidently,

"Father is currently rebuilding his vitality, lying in the Quiet Chamber of the Cangli Courtyard. As his daughter, I’m constantly worried day and night! To conveniently look after father, starting today, this True Inheritor will also move into the Cangli Courtyard!"

"Anyway, the Cangli Courtyard has many empty rooms, one more Miss Qin doesn’t make a difference, neither does one more of me!"

Silence.

Not just Chen Ye and Qin Jiaming.

The three little ones were stunned.

Qing Jun, who was gnawing on half a Spirit Fruit, was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped.

One wicked woman wasn’t enough, the little blonde also wants to move in?!

"Wait a minute... Susu, what act are you pulling now?"

Chen Ye rubbed his forehead, feeling overwhelmed.

If she really stayed here, along with Qin Jiaming, the Cangli Courtyard’s roof would inevitably be blown off sooner or later.

"What? Not welcoming?"

Bai Susu glared at him while her small hand quietly reached for a soft spot on Chen Ye’s waist, pinching a piece of tender meat.

"...Welcoming, of course, welcoming. True Inheritor Bai’s grand visit makes Cangli Courtyard brilliant."

Chen Ye decisively gave in.

While Chen Ye rubbed his aching forehead, the three little ones watching from the side began secretly exchanging glances.

Qing Jun scrunched her little face into a ball.

The little girl expressed that she was really angry now.

Cangli Courtyard, that’s her home!

She didn’t like living with a bunch of people!

Much less competing for favor with others!

However, Qing Jun’s eyes suddenly brightened, a brilliant idea sprang up in her mind.

The thought was so clever she couldn’t help but praise herself as indeed the smartest girl in the world!

She secretly pulled Zhiwei’s sleeve, whispered in a low voice:

"Senior sister, senior sister! Qing Jun has a good idea! Since they insist on staying in Cangli Courtyard, why don’t we just give the courtyard to them?"

Zhiwei glanced at this little girl, her thoughts perceptive. In fact, while watching these two living ancestors confront each other just now, she had already been calculating in her mind.

"You mean we should go back to Lisong Valley?" Zhiwei whispered back.

"That’s right, that’s right!"

Qing Jun nodded excitedly,

"Didn’t we agree to return to Lisong Valley? If they want to stay at Cangli Courtyard, then let them! We’ll move directly back to Lisong Valley! Let them mess around as they please!"

Jin’er, listening to this suggestion, nodded in agreement.

Gods fighting, mortals suffering.

She was the most timid and passive of temperament; if she were caught between these two powerful girls daily, even breathing loudly would be terrifying, let alone snuggling with Master.

If she could hide back to the tranquil Lisong Valley with Master and her sisters to farm, nothing would be better!

Zhiwei approvingly patted Qing Jun’s little head, giving her a look that said "well taught, very promising":

"Hmm... this matter still needs careful planning, let’s endure for a few days and wait for the right moment to make Master fulfill his promise."

If we directly speak to Master now, unforeseen changes might occur,

by then,

if these two also head to Lisong Valley, that would be bad.

...

Ultimately, under the flawless mediation of Zhiwei, matters were temporarily laid to rest.

Once these two living ancestors returned to their rooms to settle down, the oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard finally dissipated.

"Phew..."

Chen Ye slumped onto the stone chair in the courtyard, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

"Master, have some tea."

Zhiwei considerately offered a cup of warm Spirit Tea, while Jin’er obediently positioned herself behind Chen Ye, gently kneading his shoulders.

Qing Jun even snuggled up directly, looking up with her little face, her big, shiny eyes blinking, making Master feel chills. It always seemed like this girl was plotting something in her mind.
