Chapter 222: Chapter 221: The Little Ancestor is Not Easy to Fool

Qin Liuxi took Master Chi Yuan back to Qingping Temple via Yin Road, it even alarmed Qing Yuan, who was quite astonished when he saw Master Chi Yuan, yet filled with joy.

"Master, you’ve returned." Qing Yuan came forward to tend to him, mumbling: "Today, I was just wondering when Master would return, but I never expected Brother Buqiu to fetch you."

Master Chi Yuan glanced at Qin Liuxi and said, "Hmm, you’ve had a hard time these days. Is everything alright at the temple?"

"Everything is fine, thanks to Brother Buqiu’s blessings, our Grandmaster is even getting a golden statue. It’s perfect that you are back, just in time to preside over the Enlightenment ceremony." Qing Yuan smiled, his eyes squinting into slits.

Qin Liuxi snorted, "Let’s talk tomorrow, the night is deep. Qing Yuan, help the old man rest."

"Alright."

After saying that, Qin Liuxi didn’t even look at Master Chi Yuan, and walked straight out.

Her attitude made Master Chi Yuan even more uneasy than her usual rebellious demeanor, and his heart lifted to his throat.

Something was not right, this rebellious disciple wasn’t easy to deal with, and this attitude was indeed unsettling.

Qing Yuan was busily making the bed for his master when Master Chi Yuan pulled him over, causing him to stagger.

"Don’t fuss about just yet, tell me, what has your brother been up to lately? Your teacher sees her as if she’s about to make mischief!" Master Chi Yuan looked at him nervously.

Qing Yuan looked puzzled: "Brother has been fine, after you went cloud-wandering, she even treated a few patients. Oh yes, the Grandmaster’s golden statue was even donated by Mr. Yu of the Yu Family."

"Yu Family’s Mr. Changkong?" Chi Yuan was somewhat surprised, wondering how such a person would come here.

"It was Prince Rui who facilitated the connection, asking brother to treat an eye condition. Now that it’s cured, Mr. Yu then donated a golden statue..." Qing Yuan talked about recent events.

Chi Yuan nodded silently to himself, feeling somewhat relaxed at heart, said: "You should rest too, tomorrow we have to rise early for morning prayers."

"I’ll get you a pot of hot tea before I go." Qing Yuan held back, then pointed at his face, "Master, this wasn’t scratched by brother, was it?"

He had already noticed it when Qin Liuxi was present, but he did not dare to ask for fear of provoking her; now he couldn’t help it.

"That’s not it, just got scratched accidentally by an old fox." Chi Yuan felt a bit uneasy.

Qing Yuan uttered, "Oh," wondering if it was a vixen turned human, it clearly looked like nail marks.

He didn’t dare ask further and made the bed, then went to fetch water.

Stepping out of Master Chi Yuan’s Daoist Room, he saw Qin Liuxi standing with her arms behind her back, watching the moon. The cold moonlight scattered over her, as if pouring a layer of flowing light over her, giving her an inscrutable look on her face that was somewhat frightening.

Qing Yuan’s heart skipped, he approached and asked, "Brother?"

"Is he resting?" Qin Liuxi didn’t turn around.

"Yes. I’m getting a pot of water for Master." Qing Yuan cautiously asked, "Brother, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing much. Although he has returned, he’s old now, his old injuries have not healed, so you take charge of things in the temple." Qin Liuxi’s tone was somewhat cold: "If someone comes to invite him for Demon Extermination duties, reject them all, don’t mention it in front of him. If you can’t manage, then find me."

Qing Yuan was slightly startled, the tone was too stern.

This wasn’t like her temperamental self.

Qing Yuan frowned and pressed, "Brother, what is really going on? You need to confide in me, or I’ll be restless."

Qin Liuxi looked up at a faint star near the bright moon, almost obscured by the clouds, her voice cold: "He’s aged."

Qing Yuan felt a chill in his heart.

The light in Qin Liuxi’s Daoist Room remained on all night.

The day had not yet fully brightened, and all the Taoists in Qingping Temple began their morning class. Wuwei took a broom and yawned while sweeping around the courtyards, arriving in front of Qin Liuxi’s Daoist Room, he noticed a medicinal scent.

Creak.

The door to Qin Liuxi’s room opened, which startled Wuwei. Looking over, it was Little Evil God holding a tray and coming out.

"You, how did you come out from there?" Wuwei pointed at her and said: "You didn’t stay in the Daoist Temple last night, how come you arrived so early?"

Qin Liuxi’s lips curved slightly: "Of course, I flew here, do you believe it?"

Wuwei: "..."

I can recite spells and perform rituals, are you messing with me?!

"Hurry up and go to morning class. As a Daoist, you need to know professional morals, understand all scriptures and spells. I don’t expect you to recite them flawlessly, but you should at least be familiar, right?" Qin Liuxi glared at him and went to Master Chi Yuan’s Daoist Room.

Master Chi Yuan had just completed a Grand Circulation and smelled the medicine. The door was pushed open, and Qin Liuxi entered.

"So early, you made medicine?" Master Chi Yuan looked outside, noticing it was not fully bright yet.

Qin Liuxi responded: "Obviously."

Master Chi Yuan tentatively asked: "For me? I don’t see anything uncomfortable..."

He stopped talking under Qin Liuxi’s gaze.

Qin Liuxi handed over the medicine: "Drink."

Master Chi Yuan didn’t hesitate, took it and drank it all at once, even inverting his bowl like martial artists do with liquor to show not a drop was left.

Knowing the times makes a great leader, and he understood this principle.

Seeing Qin Liuxi’s serious and stern attitude, he didn’t dare to provoke her, and had to play along and even appease her.

Ah, such a tough little ancestor to fool!

Seeing his compliance, Qin Liuxi then extended her finger to check his pulse.

Master Chi Yuan knew he couldn’t evade and admitted honestly: "It’s nothing serious, just a divination."

"You think life is too long? You should’ve said so earlier, and I wouldn’t bother seeking medicine anymore." Qin Liuxi was angered.

Master Chi Yuan shrank his neck and dared not speak further, weakly saying: "It hasn’t reached that point yet."

"For divining the escape of an evil ghost from the Underworld?" Qin Liuxi coldly snorted, "Already bearing unresolved old injuries and of advanced age, yet you still divine such Heavenly Secrets. Do you think the Heavenly Dao is your own father and won’t punish you?"

She sensed last night that his pulse was somewhat disorderly, knowing he must have been peeping at the Heavenly Secrets which damaged his spirit, but didn’t mention anything due to the presence of the Qinglan Temple Master.

Master Chi Yuan explained: "An evil ghost escaping is no small matter, girl. We Mystic Sect people inherently must eradicate demons and defend the Dao."

"I don’t care about what’s inherent or not. If you continue to betray Heavenly Secrets and harm yourself, we’re done. Whether Qingping Temple closes or whatever else happens, I won’t care," Qin Liuxi coldly declared: "There are so many guardians in this world, why must an old man like you handle this? Da Feng values the Buddhist Sect, tell Hui Neng of the nearby Wuxiang Temple to gather his fellow guards and protect the world."

Master Chi Yuan laughed bitterly: "Why must you coerce me, apprentice?"

Qin Liuxi smiled, her smile not reaching her eyes: "Whether it’s coercion or not, why not give it a try?"

The world isn’t hers to worry about; capable people can take care of it!

She only cares about the few important people in her life.

Knowing her temperament, Master Chi Yuan didn’t argue further, merely saying: "The evil ghost is indeed the Evil Buddha Siluo."
