"Did I insult you? Zhang Chuxi, take a look at yourself. Do you think Chen Ye would be interested in you?"
"..."
Chen Ye almost couldn’t hold back.
That Bai Susu, her mouth is still as poisonous as ever, but she almost guessed right.
Because Zhang Chuxi involved Qing Jun, Chen Ye was angry at the time and accidentally went too far...
Zhang Chuxi’s face turned blue and white with frustration, but she didn’t dare to retort Bai Susu, so she could only look pleadingly at Zhao Yan’en:
"Grandpa Zhao, you have to stand up for me! If my mother... the Fourth Elder knew I suffered such grievance, she wouldn’t let it go!"
A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhao Yan’en’s eyes.
He was indeed wary of the Elder, but he hated when people pressured him using the Elder.
"Enough!"
He waved his sleeve, and a pressure enveloped Zhang Chuxi, rendering her speechless,
"Right and wrong, I will judge impartially. As the daughter of an Elder, you lack ambition and leave the sect without permission, almost causing a great tragedy, and you still have the nerve to complain here?"
Zhang Chuxi was so frightened that she trembled and could only bow her head and admit her mistake.
Zhao Yan’en no longer paid attention to her, turned to look at Chen Ye, and a smile reappeared on his face:
"Guardian Chen, your service this time is significant, and the sect will naturally reward you. This is a Transformation Pill to help you break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Middle Period. Accept it."
With that, a jade bottle flew in front of Chen Ye.
Chen Ye was surprised and then delighted, quickly accepting it: "Thank you, Sect Master for the reward!"
This Transformation Pill is indeed a treasure. With it, along with my current foundation, breaking through the Middle Period of Foundation Establishment is just around the corner!
"Additionally..."
Zhao Yan’en pondered for a moment, his gaze flickering,
"I heard you have a disciple named Lin Jin? It seems she possesses some ancient Divine Fire within her?"
Chen Ye felt a chill in his heart.
Indeed, this is the main issue.
Although he has been keeping Lin Jin’s Cold Flame a secret, such a level of power outbreak cannot be concealed from those with discerning eyes.
"To the Sect Master, that is correct." Chen Ye admitted frankly, "However, that Divine Fire is extremely domineering, and my disciple cannot fully control it yet, often suffering backlash."
"Yes, I have heard of this."
Zhao Yan’en nodded,
"This girl is extraordinarily gifted and, if nurtured properly, will surely achieve greatness in the future. However... your Luoli Courtyard, while serene, is ultimately limited in resources and may not help her gain complete control over the Divine Fire."
He paused, revealing his true intentions,
"Why not... let her train at Baopu Peak? There, she will find a dedicated Fire Vein Spirit Land and be taught by cultivators skilled in fire techniques, which will greatly benefit her."
Chen Ye pondered deeply.
It sounds good, but in truth, they want to absorb Lin Jin into the Lingyin Sect.
However, it is indeed an opportunity.
Baopu Peak certainly has far superior resources compared to Luoli Courtyard, which will benefit Lin Jin’s growth.
Moreover, as long as I’m around, the sect wouldn’t dare do anything to Lin Jin.
"The Sect Master’s generosity, I thank you on behalf of my disciple."
Chen Ye cupped his hands and said,
"However, my disciple is rather reclusive and may find it difficult to adapt to interacting with others..."
"That’s no problem."
Bai Susu suddenly spoke, looking at Chen Ye with a smirk,
"Since she’s your disciple, why not... you also go to Baopu Peak?"
"Me?" Chen Ye was taken aback.
"Coincidentally, Baopu Peak is currently lacking a practical instructor. Considering your Divine Soul is impaired, and your combat strength is dwindling, why not move to the Inner Sect’s Baopu Peak? Given your cultivation, you’re truly overqualified for the Outer Sect."
Bai Susu raised an eyebrow deliberately emphasizing Chen Ye’s damaged Divine Soul to prevent the sect from sending him out to battle.
A smile curled at her lips,
"Your combat skills are impressive, and you know how to teach disciples, making you the perfect choice. Plus... Zhang Chuxi is also training there, so you can... manage her as well."
Of course.
What Bai Susu didn’t mention is that she’s conveniently in the Inner Sect as well, so if Chen Ye goes to Baopu Peak, she can visit him frequently.
And, of course, observe how he gets along with Zhang Chuxi.
Upon hearing this, a certain pretty young girl widened her eyes:
"No! I don’t want him teaching me! No way!"
This devil as her instructor?
Will she ever have a good day again?!
"It’s settled then!"
Zhao Yan’en made a final decision, quite pleased with Bai Susu’s suggestion. This way, the girl named Lin Jin will rightfully be part of Baopu Peak.
"Guardian Chen, from tomorrow on, you will be a practical instructor at Baopu Peak, in charge of teaching Lin Jin and Zhang Chuxi combat training. If anything goes wrong with them, I’ll hold you accountable!"
"Yes, I accept the task."
Chen Ye smiled gently, speaking politely to the despairing little troublemaker,
"Zhang... Nephew, kindly advise me in the future."
Falling into my hands, and still wanting to escape?
This time, no one can save you... wicked little scamp!
