Tian Nong began to explain.
This kind of task is quite different from Chen Ye’s previous work at Baiqi Garden and the Herb Pavilion.
Once he goes, he will stay at the Lisong Medicine Garden long-term until the next promotion.
Although, once he leaves the Lingyin Sect, he would lose its protection.
But Chen Ye is a newly appointed steward and will eventually be sent out.
He pondered for a moment and finally solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "Thanks to the steward’s care, Chen is willing to go."
Seeing his agreement, Tian Nong smiled kindly and discussed more details about the Lisong Medicine Garden with Chen Ye.
Chen Ye paused and suddenly said, "Steward Tian, I have rented a Luoli Courtyard in Lingyin Sect. Is there any way to make it permanently belong to me?"
People are not emotionless; who can be unfeeling?
He and his disciple had stayed in Luoli Courtyard for nearly three months, leaving many memories and forming emotional ties.
Tian Nong pondered, "Generally, the sect allocates free long-term residences for stewards. But as for Luoli Courtyard... its level is quite high, but it’s not impossible."
"Forget it, in the end, it’s just a residence and cannot compare with Baiqi Garden. Since Steward Chen has resolved this problem for Herb Peak, I’ll go to the Peak Master and grant you ten years of ownership of the Luoli Courtyard."
With Tian Nong’s promise, Chen Ye’s heart settled, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Tian Nong, he left the Steward Hall accompanied by Li Qiuyun.
"Uncle Chen, congratulations!" As soon as they walked out of the Steward Hall, Li Qiuyun could no longer contain her joy, and a bright smile blossomed on her delicate face, "Being in charge of Lisong Medicine Garden is a position of real power; many Outer Sect stewards are envious!"
Seeing her more excited than himself, Chen Ye laughed and said, "Shared joy, shared joy. In the future in Lisong Medicine Garden, I will rely on Niece Li to look after me."
"!"
At the mention of ’niece,’ Li Qiuyun’s pretty face turned red, and she gave Chen Ye an annoyed sideways glance.
This girl is strange.
She readily calls him Uncle Chen, but when he calls her niece, she feels uncomfortable all over.
Chen Ye was secretly amused.
They chatted all the way back to Luoli Courtyard.
"Master!"
As soon as Chen Ye stepped through the door, two small figures ran toward him like swallows returning to the forest.
Qing Jun was as loud as ever, her little face full of pride, "Master, you’re back! Qing Jun has reached the Fourth-Layer of Qi Cultivation, almost like Senior Sister!"
Qing Jun’s breakthrough was within Chen Ye’s expectations.
Since the last dangerous encounter in Mist Forest, her bloodline had been activated and remained active, making the breakthrough a matter of course.
However, Chen Ye was always worried that Qing Jun might suffer an early onset of her hidden ailments due to her active bloodline.
But looking at the mischievous little girl in front of him, Chen Ye set aside his worries and couldn’t help but embrace Qing Jun’s slender waist.
"Master!!!"
The little girl turned red, being lifted into the air, kicking and flailing,
"Master, put Qing Jun down!"
Chen Ye planted a heavy kiss on Qing Jun’s forehead and praised, "Qing Jun is impressive, Master has a reward for you!"
"Guh!"
Being kissed by her Master’s smelly mouth, Qing Jun flustered, pushing Chen Ye’s face with her small hands:
"Taoist Chen, keep away from Qing Jun!"
"??? You’ve grown rebellious!"
This girl speaks without a filter, constantly spouting nonsense.
Angry, Chen Ye lightly tapped Qing Jun on her soft, white cheek before finally letting the little girl down, exasperated.
Li Qiuyun covered her mouth with a smile, a little curious, "Uncle Chen, what does she mean by ’Taoist Chen’? Were you a Daoist before?"
Li Qiuyun’s question was innocent, but mentioning it made Chen Ye glare at the little girl wiping her face. Reciprocal, the girl glared back at Chen Ye.
And who is this "Taoist Zhang" she refers to?
The person is a full-blown perverted scoundrel.
If Qing Jun weren’t so young and naive about such matters,
Otherwise, Chen Ye would have given this unruly disciple a real spanking.
Clearing his throat, Chen Ye said, "Nonsense from a little girl, Qiuyun, don’t pay it any mind."
Hearing this, Li Qiuyun didn’t dwell on it, looking at the two girls with a smile, "You need to help Uncle Chen pack up."
The black-haired girl looked up, her fingers trembling slightly, "Sister Qiuyun, what... what does this mean?"
Li Qiuyun explained in detail the assignment to work at Peach Mountain District to the two girls.
Zhiwei’s expression immediately became gloomy, her little hand clutching the hem of her clothes, "Going to Peach Mountain District? How long will it be?"
"As short as half a year, as long as several years."
Chen Ye continued,
"But don’t worry, your Master has sought a ten-year residence in Luoli Courtyard from the Sect, so this will be our home in the Lingyin Sect."
Hearing this, the two kids lowered their heads, feeling lost.
Will it still be their home without their Master?
"Master..." Qing Jun no longer cared to glare at her Master, pouting at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye had an epiphany, understanding the kids’ misunderstanding.
Previously, during assignments, he hadn’t brought the two disciples, giving them the impression that they couldn’t accompany him.
But since Qing Jun seemed about to speak, he chose not to explain for now.
Instead, he looked sternly at the little girl.
"Eh? You all..."
Li Qiuyun couldn’t bear the kids’ sadness and wanted to speak, but Chen Ye stopped her for the moment:
"Qiuyun, I’ll clarify for them..."
Chen Ye’s face almost showed a mischievous smile.
It wasn’t bullying Qing Jun; after all, who told her to act so arrogantly before?
Arrogant children deserve some teasing from their Master!
