157: Chapter 65: Immortal Dynasty Seeks Assistance!

“Wen Ling, you’ve been here for two or three years now, and you should know how I’ve treated you.

Don’t say I haven’t given you a chance.

You have the duration of one incense stick to calculate the accounts in this Jade Talisman.

If you calculate it correctly, you will pass.

“If you can’t, pack up your things and head back to the East Sea.”

“Ah?”

Wen Ling pouted and quickly begged for mercy:

“Great Ancestor, I really can’t do this calculation, let alone one incense stick’s time, even an hour would be useless!

“If you really want to send me back, just say it outright.

How could I, a mere disciple, dare to defy you?”

Li Dazhi glared at her, and Wen Ling bowed her head in resignation.

“Humph!

You, ah!”

Li Dazhi sighed and said indifferently:

“However, considering that you’ve worked hard over these past two years, I can arrange another task for you.

“You know about my Ping’an.

His master is oblivious to worldly affairs while he is focused on cultivation and artifact refining.

On normal days, he lacks a companion and someone to look after his daily needs.

“I’ve already spoken to the inner sect.

If you’re willing to go and cultivate by Ping’an’s side, I’ll send you there later.”

“Oh my, Great Ancestor!”

Wen Ling blinked, her lips starting to curl into a grin as she giggled:

“You could have straight up told me you wanted me to serve little ancestor Ping’an!

“I never thought about becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.

“Being by little ancestor Ping’an’s side is much better than staying with you!

My master originally intended for me to serve little ancestor Ping’an as a maid.

It’s all your fault for making me calculate accounts for two or three years!”

“Hmm?” Li Dazhi suddenly widened his eyes.

“Ah, no!”

Wen Ling hurriedly explained:

“You wanted to train me, to push me to progress.

I understand all that.”

“Alright, alright.”

Li Dazhi waved his hand dismissively and took out a Jade Pendant from a drawer, tossing it to Wen Ling.

“This is a family heirloom Jade Pendant from the Li family.

I’ve prepared one for you.

As for what comes next, you’ll have to figure it out for yourself.

“However, you must remember not to interfere with Ping’an’s cultivation.

Him becoming an Immortal is the main thing.”

A blush crossed Wen Ling’s pretty face.

Although she playfully acted foolish in front of Li Dazhi, how could she not understand her own master’s and Great Wealth Immortal’s intentions?

Her master, Xiaoyue, simply wanted her to find a way to bind Li Ping’an, thereby influencing the Great Wealth Immortal;

The Great Wealth Immortal himself had even purer thoughts.

He just wanted to embrace his grandson sooner.

Wen Ling gripped the Jade Talisman tightly.

This was her opportunity!

However, Wen Ling thought about her previous interactions with Li Ping’an, and the flame of ambition that had just been lit was quenched quite a bit.

That guy’s wisdom was far above her own…

She might as well just go there to serve him tea and water obediently.

Li Dazhi said, “Ping’an is currently in the Daozang Hall.

Taking advantage of this break, I will send you over.

You need to think about how to win over Qing Su’s favor.

As long as she agrees to let you stay, Ping’an won’t say anything.”

“Yes,” Wen Ling sighed, “I understand.”

Li Dazhi wondered out loud, “Why do you seem so listless?

Don’t you want to continue working here?”

“It’s not that,” Wen Ling hesitated, finally letting out a soft sigh, “I’m a bit scared of little ancestor Ping’an.”

“Scared of him for what!

I’m the one who arranged for you to go there, he wouldn’t dare send you away.”

Li Dazhi stood up, sweeping his hand grandly:

“Come, I’m going to first take you to Nourishing Clouds Hall to get a few sets of pretty clothes.

“When you’re by Ping’an’s side, remember to work hard.

Don’t forget, Ping’an has the ‘Wanyun Enlightenment Stone’ reputation.

By his side, you may be able to find a new fate as an Immortal.”

Wen Ling was startled.

She looked at the figure of Li Dazhi walking ahead, hands clasped behind his back.

Immortal destiny…

Yes, Immortal destiny!

In that cave dwelling, there was Grand Wealth Immortal’s luck and wealth, the influence of someone nearly ready to ascend, and Qing Su lecturing on the Dao!

Wen Ling perked up, her eyes sparkling, and the two buns on her head seemed more energetic as she hurried after him with quick, light steps.

“Great Ancestor!

What does little ancestor Ping’an like to eat?

I can make a lot of delicious food!”

“Ping’an doesn’t like to eat much, but Qing Su does.

You could start with that to capture Qing Su’s stomach.

Qing Su, as the master, holds Ping’an’s lifeline…

Ai, ai!

My treatment at Ping’an’s isn’t as good as his master’s.”

“Alright, alright, thank you for the advice, Great Ancestor.

I’m going to look for some recipes!”

“You’re going to learn now?”

“How could I?

When I first became a disciple, instead of going to the treasure shops, I worked for six years as a little kitchen maid in Wanyun Sect’s big restaurant in town!”

Amidst light laughter, Li Dazhi rode the clouds with Wen Ling, heading straight for the main peak.

After spending an hour on the main peak, Li Dazhi took Wen Ling to Unnamed Peak, giving her enough Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills for hundred of years of cultivation, handing a little salary to the ‘nanny’ in advance.

Wen Ling’s lips pursed, nearly bursting into tears.

She was actually a bit moved because no one ever gave her so many Spirit Stones, and everywhere Dazhi went, he introduced her as if one of his own juniors.

Wen Ling proved to be up to the challenge, utilizing all her wits, she successfully earned Qing Su’s approval and managed to stay in the cave dwelling, half cultivating and half serving.

Meanwhile, Ningning Mu, who had just begun her retreat, was utterly unaware of the arrangements made by the person she referred to as ‘Uncle.’

Li Ping’an had been in the Daozang Hall for nearly half a month, clueless about the addition of a pretty maid to his home.

Just as Li Ping’an was engrossed in sorting through rumors and information about the Demon Race, a Jade Talisman flew in from the south, piercing through Wanyun Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.

A moment later, bursts of urgent bell tolls resounded on the main peak.
