Shouxian Peak (2)

The next day, Pei Yu opened her eyes and squinted at Huai Bai.

“I wanted to call you up later.” Huai Bai smiled, picking up the clothes on the bedside and dressing the child. “I’ll help you wear clothes, and you can sleep for another quarter of an hour.”

Pei Yu froze, letting Huai Bai fasten her belt, “Master, I can do it myself.”

Huai Bai smiled and squatted down, holding her small white jade foot, “Slim and slender feet, so lovely you can’t part with it. The ancients sincerely didn’t deceive me.”

(T/N: so lovely you can’t part with it is an idiom so that’s why she said the ancients didn’t deceive her cause that idiom has been there for a long time)

Pei Yu curled her toes slightly in shame, and whispered: “Master, don’t tease me…”

“Haha,” Huai Bai put on her shoes and socks for her, “Master will never tease you.”

After getting dressed, Huai Bai tied a red string to Pei Yu’s wrist, “This thing can conceal your cultivation.”

Pei Yu nodded and asked, “Does the master want me to hide?”

Huai Bai laughed, “Do you even know how to hide yourself?”

Pei Yu lowered her head, her face was dyed pink, and said softly, “Master.”

Huai Bai rubbed her head, “It’s okay. If you encounter someone who is not pleasing to the eye, just hit it. If you can’t hit it, come back and tell Master, I will help you out.”

“Okay.”

Since the master deliberately concealed her cultivation level, she must be hiding it for a reason.

Pei Yu knew in her heart that now that the three religions coexist, the Buddhism of the West Tu is also eyeing them. No matter where a genius appears, it will attract the attention and coveting of others, and there will be no lack of secret methods done.

(T/N: the Tu are an ethnic group)

Regarding the Heavenly Stairs and the heart-questioning stone, the master should be hiding it for her, and now not many people from the Immortal Sect know about it.

Walking out the door, three people and four animals stood neatly in the courtyard.

When they saw them, the animals became agitated.

“Ga!”

“Meow~”

“Guru Guru.”

Huai Bai touched them one by one, and when it was Xiao Bai’s turn, she stopped her hand in the air and said in disgust, “Why are you here?”

Xiao Bai wagged her tail, and replied shyly: “When you marry a bird, you follow a bird, and when you marry a duck, you follow a duck. From now on, I will be the rat that guards Shouxian Peak.”

“Hey?”

Huai Bai was shocked, “Are you going to be ready?”

Da Bai’s face was dumbfounded, “Quack?”

“Anyway, I’ll get better sooner or later,” Xiao Bai loves very humbly, “I’ll get married first.”

Huai Bai sighed, “You are a bamboo rat.”

Xiao Bai said: “I can pretend to be a bird!”

When the white peacock turned, the long tail feathers raised dust, and Xiao Bai couldn’t help coughing.

Huai Bai held her forehead, “Forget it, I’ll give you a word. Licking rat——there is nothing left after licking.”

(T/N: licking in this context means appreciating someone’s looks and basically simping for them)

After a few words, the extra quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Huai Bai adjusted her clothes and said, “Apprentices! Let’s go!”

Zhao Jianyi quickly summoned a smaller treasure ship, which happened to be carrying a few of them, followed by a few demons behind him, and flew towards Feiyu Peak.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Rong Jibai pointed out: “You all get bigger and hold the scene! Da Bai, don’t get so big, are you trying to knock Feiyu Peak down?”

Her green shirt was fluttering in the wind, and her waist was straight, like a green bamboo, slender.

Cang Hai hugged her knees, tilted her head and looked attentively, “Senior Sister is so beautiful.”

Zhao Jianyi echoed: “My Junior Sister is so beautiful.”

Rong Jibai akimbo, “Of course! I’m a flower of Shouxian Peak, but now I have to give this title to the younger sister.”

Pei Yu remained silent, and did not want to take over the title of “a flower”.

The sea of clouds is faint, the red sun rises, and the world is magnificent.

The teenagers and girls were joking in the clouds, and a few weird demons obediently followed behind the boat.

The breeze was blowing, the morning sun was lingering, Pei Yu turned her head, the woman in tsing yi smiled at her, her brows tenderly arched——

The time is just right.

Shouxian Peak and her party made waves when they first came to the meeting.

The people on the other peaks were all dressed neatly, kneeling and sitting in the clouds, only they swaggered and flew in the boat, followed by four demons.

But even with the four huge demon beasts, their place is still very empty.

After all, the other five peaks have at least a hundred disciples, only Shouxian Peak, plus the newcomers, can count them on one hand.

As soon as Zhao Jianyi saw the contempt in the eyes of others, he snorted, “What are so many people doing? Although our sparrows are small, we have all the internal organs, and we are not crowded! How great!”

(T/N: he’s basically saying that while they have a small group of people, they have everything that’s needed and are not crowded)

Rong Jibai said, “Senior Brother is right!”

Cang Hai whispered: “Have you seen it? The look in their eyes at Baidai Peak is almost bursting with fire. Are they jealous?”

Baidai Peak has the largest number of people among the six peaks, with seven or eight hundred people.

There was a vast crowd, and the number could not be seen at a glance.

Although the cultivator suffers little physical pain, it is still very uncomfortable with so many people crowded together, and it is not elegant.

Sheng Ji, wearing the uniformly tailored purple clothes of Baidai Peak, stood in the crowd, holding Hongyan in his hand, and quietly looked towards Shouxian Peak.

When he caught a glimpse of Pei Yu, his sword-holding hand was slightly clenched, and he lowered his head again, looking at his shiny purple toe, lost in thought.

He knew that Pei Yu had participated in the trial. Was it her who caused the change in the heavens at that time?

But the master said no, and also told him not to publicize the matter. Why is this?

Among the six peaks, the disciples of Feiyu Peak are the most elegant.

The feather robes are squatting, the clothing belt is in the wind, and the crane flies from the sea of clouds.

The people of Mount Baidai said secretly: “It’s worthy of Daoism, they are so coquettish in white clothes.”

The sister of Lingsu Peak next door has always had a good relationship with Feiyu Peak, and rolled her eyes when she heard it, “You guys who wear cut sleeves have the nerve to speak arrogantly about another family’s business?”

(T/N: cut sleeves also means gay man but I don’t think that’s what she’s implying here?)

The people of Baidai Feng heard this silently.

No matter how profitable the sword is, they are still afraid of the doctors and cannot afford to provoke.

Ning Xiao sat high on the cloud with a solemn expression and a soft voice.

The new disciples were full of longing, and the disciples who stayed longer held their heads with their hands, and were bored.

Huai Bai sat boringly.

This is the same as the previous speech under the national flag of the school once a week. First, the principal said a few words on it, and then taught the director, leaders at all levels… Although they can’t hear what they are saying, they still have to pretend to listen carefully and look deeply educated.

Alas, her heart is tired.

She looked back, and Rong Jibai had already slept in the arms of Cang Hai, tilted her body, Zhao Jianyi bowed his head and was busy in his office with his Yan models.

Only the child was sitting on her knees, with her head half-up, listening very seriously.

Huai Bai silently shed the tears of an old mother in her heart.

It feels like a top student has finally emerged from a class of underachievers she brought with her.

Excited!

Pei Yu listened to Ning Xiao’s preaching. She was ignorant in her previous life, but after a lifetime, she had different perceptions.

The Dao Senior is talking about the relationship between “mankind’s power” and “destiny”.

The Immortal Sect believes that destiny surpasses everything in the world, which seems to be unprovoked, but in fact it is closely related to everyone.

Destiny determines the good and bad of man, which cannot be changed by their own power. All the major events in the human world are all destined.

Heaven is right. Destiny is hard to violate.

The only way to be a man is to go with the flow and keep calm.

Pei Yu thought, was her miserable life also destined to end in doom?

If it was such a destiny, she would rather die than resist.

Her hands were tightly clenched, her nails pinched the palms of her hands, the backs of her snow-white hands were clearly blue, her eyebrows drooped, and a sneer at the corners of her mouth.

Buddhism also said: “Great sorrow without tears, all living things experience suffering.”

The world is born to suffer and cannot be liberated, and there is no other way except to endure it.

She only felt it was a joke.

If destiny is to make her suffer from birth, if destiny is to let the vicious person rise straight up in a clear sky, so that the virtuous person will not end well.

(T/N: rise straight up in a clear sky is an idiom that means a rapid promotion to a high position)

Why can’t you reverse such a destiny?

Maybe Pei Yu shouldn’t stay in the Immortal Sect, she should go to the Zhuangzi Saints to practice “man can conquer nature”, and listen to the saint saying: “Poor yet strong, do not fall into the ambitions of the clear sky.”

(T/N: poor yet strong etc means the more difficult a person’s situation, the more persevering they will be, and the less likely they will lose their lofty ambition)

In her body, the blood of resistance is flowing.

Suddenly, there was a numb itching on the back of her hand, gently brushing it like a feather.

Pei Yu shook her head, lowered her head, and Huai Bai was bending her little finger and gently scraping on the back of her hand.

Huai Bai smiled openly: “I’m bored.”

This is the self-destruction from the underachiever.

Pei Yu sighed in her heart, but the depression in her chest was much less. She held Huai Bai’s fingertips and whispered: “Master, don’t make trouble.”

Huai Bai hugged her in her arms and rubbed her face with the other hand, “But I’m so bored, so bored, I haven’t attended a morning meeting for hundreds of years, and I didn’t expect it to be so boring.”

Pei Yu’s eyes lit up, “Master hasn’t attended the morning meeting for a long time, why is she here today?”

Huai Bai bent a pair of smiling eyes, “Of course it is to accompany my dear disciple.” She paused and said, “Look, I can also get up very early. From now on, I will accompany you to watch the sunrise on Gushan, the golden haze weaving through the clouds, the red sun is like fire, don’t you like it very much?”

How does Master know? Could it be that the evil spirit told her?

Master actually cares so much about herself…

Pei Yu’s eyes turned red, and she whispered: “Master, you said, to chase someone, you don’t need the water of Li Spring, you don’t need the branches of the parasol tree, just a sincere heart is enough. I also only want the sincere heart of Master and I’ll be satisfied.”

As long as the master is willing, what if she doesn’t watch the sunrise with her?

Huai Bai didn’t think it sounded right, “Why do I always feel weird? Cub, what I said is a relationship between men and women, and you and I are a relationship between mentor and apprentice, and you cannot use the word chase. “

Pei Yu lowered her head, “Only a little different.”

Huai Bai frowned, “It’s a lot of difference.”

“Xiao Bai and Da Bai are not men and women either.”

Huai Bai was silent. The top student is worthy of being a top student. She said so well that she was speechless.

“Anyway,” Huai Bai struggled, “you are not allowed to say this to others casually.”

Pei Yu nodded obediently, “I only say that to you.”

Huai Bai still heard something wrong, but the cabbage raised in her own house could not be picked up by pigs. “That’s right. Remember, don’t talk to others.”

(T/N: basically saying good girls should not be ruined by bad boys or whatever genders you substitute into that)

Pei Yu said: “Okay, I listen to Master.”

After Ning Xiao finished speaking, each peak master stepped forward to speak.

It is nothing more than saying the characteristics of each peak, similar to a publicity conference, used to recruit new students.

Ding Fenghua had purple clothes and purple boots, high ponytail, and he looked sharp and handsome. Huai Bai commented: “Showy.”

The spiritual consciousness of the nascent soul monk could cover hundreds of miles, and Ding Fenghua could hear it naturally, and he swept his gaze over coldly, then took a step forward and talked about swordsmanship.

The sword is the chief of a hundred soldiers.

No matter which young man, he always has a dream of traveling the world with a sword in his heart. He wants to use the three-foot youthful point of a sword in his hand to keep one person safe and secure when he retreats, and to protect the whole world, seas, and rivers when he moves forward.

What’s more, those with swords always look handsome.

This makes Baidai Peak very popular with new disciples, and only those with the best talents are qualified to enter it.

What Ding Fenghua said was very contagious. The disciples in the audience were full of enthusiasm, and they wished to worship Baidai Peak and hold the sword to face the mountains and rivers.

Huai Bai crossed her legs and whispered to the side: “MLM leader.”

(T/N: MLM meaning multilevel marketing and you can search that up to find out more about it but it’s basically an advanced kind of marketing strategy to recruit new customers)

Ding Fenghua glanced at her bitterly, and walked down with his hand.

The peak owners had a lot of loyal fans, and they all aroused cheers when they went on the court, but when Huai Bai went up, the scene suddenly calmed down.

Huai Bai coughed a few times, a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Yu Chisu stood up and said with a frantic look: “Immortal chief! Can I be your disciple?”

Huai Bai smiled at her, and her affection for the girl who warmed up in time improved a lot, and then waved her sleeves, “Shouxian Peak will not accept disciples. That’s it, let it go.”

Yu Chisu sat down awkwardly.

People around asked her: “Your grades are so good, why do you go to Shouxian Peak? Go to Baidai Peak.”

Yu Chisu snorted softly, “What do you know? I escaped from Qianhan Palace just to see Immortal Huai Bai.”

Zhao Jianyi straightened up abruptly, put down the model parts in his hand, “Master won’t accept disciples?”

“Wh-what?” Rong Jibai woke up from her dream, with a red print on her snow-white face, “What happened to Master?”

Zhao Jianyi said: “Master said just now that she will not accept disciples in the future.”

Rong Jibai made a “cut” sound and continued to lean on Cang Hai lazily, “Master’s mouth, a deceitful ghost, I don’t believe it.”

“Master can’t joke about this kind of thing.”

Rong Jibai still insisted, “Anyway, I don’t believe it, Junior Sister, let me tell you, Master’s words must not be taken seriously, especially when it comes to accepting disciples.”

Pei Yu whispered: “I believe it.”

“What?”

Pei Yu raised her lips somewhat happily and looked at the surprised senior brother and sisters, suddenly felt that she was heavier than them in Master’s heart, “Master promised me that she will no longer accept apprentices.”

Rong Jibai patted her on the shoulder, “But Junior Sister, you know, she has said this to each of us.”

Pei Yu was stunned for a moment, and then her face slowly sank, “This kind of…”

As a demon, Cang Hai was keenly aware of the flash of murderous aura in the air, and subconsciously shielded Rong Jibai behind her.

“Fourth, what’s the matter?”

(T/N: the word in the original Chinese is used to call someone in the order of birth in their family, and it is referring to Cang Hai)

Cang Hai shook her head, frowning somewhat suspiciously.

When Huai Bai jumped onto the treasure ship, the little apprentice was drooping her eyebrows, her expression unrecognizable.

She was excited, thinking that she had fulfilled her promise to the apprentice in public, and this child should be happy. She is really a good master.

“Little cub?”

Pei Yu turned her head away, feeling a little stuck in her heart.

Huai Bai only felt strange, why this little girl was awkward again, and moved her head over, “What’s the matter with you?”

Pei Yu turned silently to the other side, not looking at her.

Huai Bai raised her eyes, “What did you say?”

Rong Jibai shrugged, “Didn’t you tell the younger sister what you said when you kidnapped us?”

Huai Bai was angry and helpless, “The third child, are you going to die for your teacher?”

Before the words fell, the sleeves were gently torn off, the girl tilted her head, her eyes flickered, and she said awkwardly: “Don’t talk lightly.”

Huai Bai, regardless of the weak resistance, hugged Pei Yu, rubbed her face, and smiled: “Cub, how come you are so cute!”

Pei Yu: “…”

After a long silence, she couldn’t help but whispered: “Are you really not accepting disciples?”

Huai Bai said, “If I don’t accept it, I won’t accept it. If I have you, what other apprentices do I need?”

Zhao Jianyi smiled and shook his head.

Rong Jibai said, “Master once said that beautiful women do not count.”

Cang Hai echoed, “Master also said that sweet words are not trustworthy.”

Huai Bai was anxious: “You guys are dismantling the stage one by one, I really didn’t say that!”

(T/N: dismantling the stage means shooting down every one of her statements)

The sea of clouds churned, and the treasure ship slowly sailed towards Shouxian Peak.

Huai Bai poked a cloud like cotton and smiled: “Do you know? Even ordinary people without spiritual roots can swim in the sea of clouds.”

Rong Jibai didn’t understand, “How could it? How can they fly without spiritual power?”

Zhao Jianyi seemed to understand but did not understand, “Master is talking about mechanism skills? The mechanism I made, kunpeng, can carry mortals in flight, but this will also waste a lot of spirit stones.”

The corners of Huai Bai’s eyebrows and mouth bend, “No spirit stones or spiritual roots. In my homeland, even an ordinary person can swim like a bird and fish, wandering between the sky and the earth.” She raised her head, looking towards the broad sky, “There is a more far-reaching place.”

“Without spirit stones? How can it be done?” Zhao Jianyi was very interested.

Huai Bai tried to talk to him about modern technology. Zhao Jianyi was confused at first, and then his eyes brightened. He clapped his hands and exclaimed: “It’s so mysterious! Mortals have such wisdom.”

“Wisdom accumulates slowly, generation after generation, one hundred years after one hundred years, and finally a splendid civilization will be built.” Huai Bai hadn’t noticed when she was a mortal, but after she entered the immortal gate, she watched the changes in the human world, and she more and more admired the majesty of life.

Zhao Jianyi was very happy, “In this case, the mechanism does not need spirit stones. As long as ordinary water and wind power can be used by ordinary people, it can save a lot of manpower.” He twisted his hands and eagerly said: “I will pass the mechanism technique to the mountain people, let them work so hard!”

Huai Bai smiled and said, “Okay.”

Pei Yu asked softly, “Where is the homeland of Master?”

Huai Bai looked into the distance, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and the new morning sunshine flicked over her face, making her gentle brows look a bit sentimental.

“It’s a far, far away place.”

Pei Yu was annoyed at her momentary failure to ask such a stupid question. Hundreds of years have passed, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and the homeland of the master is probably no longer there. She raised her head, her deer-like eyes wet, “Master…”

Huai Bai touched her head and said softly: “However, now my homeland is Gushan, and my family is you.”

Pei Yu’s breathing was stagnant, and she lowered her head shyly, her face like jade dyed with a touch of pink clouds.

This is a very warm scene.

Rong Jibai approached Cang Hai and wiped her ears and said, “Have you noticed that after the little sister came, the words of Master have become more numb.”

Cang Hai looked back at her, her azure blue eyes were as deep as the sea, “The words of true feelings, why are they so nauseous?”

Rong Jibai was a little uncomfortable by her, as if being stared at by a beast, she moved back, “Fourth, why are you looking at me like this?”

Cang Hai pursed her lips, and has not yet spoken, but suddenly she heard a duck cry that resounded through Gushan.

Da Bai wailed and flew over, and her feathers fluttered.

Huai Bai turned her head and scolded: “Are you going to smash Gushan?” She narrowed her eyes and pulled out the fluffy white dumpling from Da Bai. “Why did you climb on someone’s back again?”

Xiao Bai kept rubbing her two paws, “I, I have something to say to Miss Sister.”

Cang Hai listened to Da Bai’s yelling a few times and said, “Master, Da Bai is suing. She said that this bamboo rat is always repeating three words in her ears, which makes her uneasy.”

Huai Bai asked: “Oh? What are you saying?”

Xiao Bai twisted her body, glanced wide, and said embarrassingly, “Are you there?”

Are, are you there?

The corners of Huai Bai’s mouth twitched. This was really a qualified and humble licking rat.

Zhen’s thoughts:

A bit of a light-hearted chapter here haha. Also wow Pei Yu is not even trying to conceal her crush, she just be saying shit LOL. And Huai Bai is not helping with her crush when she’s constantly saying sappy stuff.
