Qing Jun was scolded by her senior sister, and her little face immediately fell.

She dejectedly climbed onto the stone bench beside Chen Ye, propped her face with her small hands, and her two short legs swung back and forth in the air, looking quite pitiful.

"This..." Chen Ye, seeing her in such a state, felt a softening in his heart and was about to say something.

At the same time, that White Furred Ball took the opportunity when the senior sister wasn't paying attention, quickly lifted its head to glance at the master, pouted its little mouth, and its bright phoenix eyes blinked adorably, even gathering some tears in the corners, looking so pitiful that anyone who saw it would feel their heart soften.

Chen Ye sighed and was about to change his tone.

Seemingly predicting what the master was going to say,

the clear voice of the eldest disciple rang out beside him, "Master!"

Chen Ye, startled, looked up.

He saw the small body of the eldest disciple standing straight, her delicate and indifferent face tightly taut.

In a white dress and with black hair, her eyes were bright, and her tone was nearly like that of a Taoist scholar:

"In the path of cultivation, how can one indulge in romance?"

"Cough, cough—"

Chen Ye almost choked to death on the tea in his mouth.

Who was the master, Lu Zhiwei or Chen Ye?

Zhiwei ignored her master's shock, her eyelashes slightly trembled.

That woman called Lin Qiongyu, under no circumstances, can she get close to the master!

In Yunxi District, she was a woman who relied on her beauty to navigate among male cultivators.

Now, she visits late at night, her intentions are obvious.

The master, though determined in mind, is after all a man.

Also, Qing Jun, this little fool, even spoke for an outsider!

Did this foolish junior sister of hers really get bribed by Lin Qiongyu's petty tricks?

Doesn't she realize... why Lin Qiongyu was so nice to them before, it was to get close to the master through them!

Zhiwei absolutely would not allow it!

She absolutely would not allow this woman who came out of nowhere to destroy the hard-earned family that the three of them as master and disciples had built!

Looking at the eldest disciple's expression of "Master, if you dare to see her, then you're willingly falling to depravity", Chen Ye only felt a headache coming on.

He was now more troubled by Zhiwei than by Lin Qiongyu's matter.

At such a young age, Zhiwei was already so concerned with managing her master. When she grows up, won't she control his freedom directly?

Besides, at her age, she should be in a time of innocence and playfulness...

Chen Ye couldn't help but feel an itch in his hands. He laughed heartily, extended his long arm, and, ignoring Zhiwei's panicked eyes, scooped up the little Taoist scholar into his embrace.

"Mas... Master! What are you doing!"

The black-haired, white-dressed little girl, who had been seriously lecturing her master just a moment ago, was now firmly held in his embrace.

Her usually cold and indifferent face instantly showed a hint of shyness.

Yet the master's embrace was so wide and strong that she couldn't resist it at all.

Chen Ye, ignoring her protests, instead reached out with another big hand and gave her smooth and straight black hair a thorough "ruffling", turning her well-combed bun into a messy bird's nest.

"You little girl."

Chen Ye looked at the shy and embarrassed little girl in his arms, deliberately put on a serious face, lightly bumped her smooth forehead with his, and smiled,

"At such a young age, why worry about the master's affairs? The master has his plans."

"I... I'm not worried about the master's affairs!"

Zhiwei bit her lip in annoyance, angrily turned her small face away, refusing to bump foreheads with her master.

She's not a child!

This forehead bump... made her feel like a little girl!

At the side, Qing Jun, who had initially been dejectedly swinging her little feet, was now dumbfounded at seeing her always cool and composed senior sister being "bullied" by the master like this, then burst out laughing, her earlier displeasure already vanished.

Hmph, serves senior sister right for pretending! Always pretending in front of the master!

She felt a rare sense of schadenfreude and suddenly eyed the gold medal hanging around her senior sister's neck.

Now, she, Xu Qingjun, is the most obedient disciple to the master... so this gold medal...

Chen Ye, seeing that Zhiwei was really angry, decided not to tease his eldest disciple anymore, put down the messy-haired and sulking Zhiwei, and said:

"Don't worry, having you two with the master is enough... even if there really is a Dao companion in the future, she can't replace your place in the master's heart..."

"It's none of Zhiwei's business! Zhiwei will no longer worry about the master!"

The black-haired little girl huffed coldly, turned around without looking back, and walked towards her room.

That young silhouette, astonishingly, carried a touch of melancholy.

As if the master was a disobedient child...

Seeing her senior sister leave in anger, Qing Jun immediately leaned in with her little head, probing:

"Master, master! Senior sister is gone, can we see Sister Qiongyu now?"

Chen Ye hesitated for a moment,

He originally intended to see Lin Qiongyu to make Qing Jun happy, but now Zhiwei was unhappy...

Forget it, it's not good to have both little girls unhappy.

"Okay, let's go then."

Chen Ye picked her up, booped her little nose,

"Your senior sister is just thin-skinned, she'll be fine in a while. Let the master take you to see what exactly Lin Qiongyu wants."

...

The black-robed young girl anxiously followed Granny Li into Lisong Valley.

As soon as she entered the valley, the air that greeted her made her take a few more breaths.

Only when she noticed Granny Li giving her another glance did the girl blush, suddenly feeling like an unsophisticated country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
