The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 299 Arrangement
The three girls came up to Lin Bai politely and bowed to him.

The three of them were not much different in age, and they had established their foundation early, so they all looked like young girls.

Especially Miaomiao, she stood in the middle, wearing a black robe, slightly shorter than the other two girls, with an innocent look.

On the left is Jiang Yu, she is the tallest, wearing a green dress with a waist belt, looking like a little gentleman.

Dugu Jing looked like a cultivator, wearing a lotus crown on her head, but she had a little rouge on her brow. When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of Qu Chengjia...

"Why do you have red brows when you come to Qiaoshan?" Lin Bai was very curious. "Is this popular in Qiaoshan recently?"

"It was Sister Huang. Before she returned to Mianlong Mountain, she gave me some red ink and said it would keep me safe." Dugu Jing said honestly.

"It was Qu Ruyi's idea!" Miaomiao wiped it off as she smiled, saying, "Qu Chengjia of the Yunxia Sect loves to put red dots between her eyebrows. Don't learn from her."

Lin Bai's face turned dark. Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua were such mean people. They actually thought that I had bad intentions towards Dugu Jing?
Dugu Jing didn't know the grudge between Lin Bai and Qu Chengjia, so he could only listen to Miaomiao.

"What have you been doing these days?" Among the three girls, only Dugu Jing was considered an outsider, so Lin Bai asked her.

"Sir, my two senior sisters took me to Fengming Mountain for a trip and to Yuhu Lake for fishing, where I met many friends." Dugu Jing answered in a serious tone.

After chatting for a few more words, Miaomiao finally got down to business.

The Jindan Taoist Conference could not be shirked, and Lin Bai also wanted to attend, so he did not make things difficult for Miaomiao.

This girl has a lot of ideas. The first one she chose was not hers, and the last one she chose was not hers either. I don’t know if she took money again.

There is no way to avoid paying the debt.

Anyway, I have to do favors and clean up the mess for my two apprentices at the same time.

"Let's go to your house and Xiaoyuer's house first, and then you can make your own arrangements." Lin Bai glared at Miaomiao.

Miaomiao didn't dare to refute and agreed obediently.

Let the three girls make their own arrangements while Lin Bai continued his meditation.

Now there is nothing happening in Qiaoshan, and harmony exists both inside and outside. It is the time to practice diligently.

The realm of cultivation is the foundation of life, and one must be diligent. The method of Hunyuan body tempering is the basis for home and travel, and it cannot be neglected. The art of alchemy and formation is not a small path, and one should make some progress.

In addition, one must refine one's own magic weapon, otherwise one will always be lacking some means.

There are many other chores, including teaching apprentices, coaxing Aunt Gu, and dealing with several fellow Taoists.

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai felt that he should not be impatient and should be organized.

The realm of cultivation is naturally the most important, followed by the method of Hunyuan body tempering, and then skills such as alchemy are even less important.

Of course, there is no rush for the matter of one’s natal magic weapon.

After thinking for a while, another guest came, and it was Gai Yingqiu.

Lin Bai and Gai Yingqiu knew each other very early and their relationship was not bad, in fact, quite good.

At that time, Gai Yingqiu was deeply in love with Yang Shu, and Yang Shu was infatuated with Gu Feixue. Lin Bai watched the fun for a long time, took advantage of it, and got many benefits.

However, hard work pays off, and Gai Yingqiu finally got her wish and married into the Yang family.

Looking back now, Lin Bai really doesn't think there's anything good about Yang Shu.

Gai Yingqiu entered the yard and bowed. Lin Bai glanced outside the yard and waved his sleeves to brush her away.

"We are acquainted with each other from a humble beginning, why should I be so polite?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"After all, he is a Jindan senior, and etiquette cannot be violated." Gai Yingqiu was as gentle as ever.

"I remember that Yang Shu reached the eighth level of foundation building, but he still had difficulty making any further progress. Has he found a way?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Alas." Gai Yingqiu sighed and said helplessly, "He wanted to go out for a walk. I wanted to go with him, but he refused, saying that he wanted to be alone."

At this point, Gai Yingqiu became even more sad and aggrieved, "He used to go out fishing all day and disappear for a month or two. I told him not to go fishing, but he wouldn't listen. Now he has to go on a long journey again..."

You two seem to be very loving and affectionate, but I didn’t expect there would be such a mess between you?

Lin Bai suppressed his laughter and said, "We are cultivators, so we can just follow our own will. Why force it?"

After hearing this, Gai Yingqiu said, "He has a lot of fishing friends, from all schools and sects. Your apprentice Jiang Yu is also his fishing friend. When you were away, the two of them competed at Jiang's Jade Lake for a month. Jiang Yu is even more addicted to it than he is."

"This..." Lin Bai was stunned. He thought Jiang Yu was an honest child, but he didn't expect him to have such a hobby.

But think about it, ginger fish is originally a fish in water. I loved fishing when I was a child, and it makes sense that I like it even better now that I have grown up.

Lin Bai thought this was not bad. At least he was not like Miaomiao who always went out to cause trouble.

"If you have time, you might as well help persuade him to do more real work." Gai Yingqiu sighed endlessly.

Who can persuade him? It's not murder or arson, why bother? However, Lin Bai nodded slightly and fooled him first.

Perhaps because they were talking about Yang Shu, Gai Yingqiu seemed to have forgotten her business and started talking about family matters. She said Yang Shu was not doing his job properly, that she had a hard time managing the household, and that it was difficult for her to get pregnant during her foundation-building period...

Lin Bai felt dizzy after listening to this, and felt that everyone had their own troubles.

After a long while, Gai Yingqiu saw Lin Bai cough twice and finally remembered the business. He said, "Yao Qianyuan wants to see you and asked me to come to you. Do you want to see him?"

When they first arrived in Xinyifang, Pei Ning joined the Tianchi Sect and Lin Bai was out trying to make a living. The two of them received a lot of care from Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu, and they had a good relationship.

However, time flies, and the two who once had great hatred for each other are now very different. Gai Yingqiu has entered the foundation-building stage and married into the Yuanying Yang family; while Yao Qianyuan has little ambition and has not even entered the foundation-building stage.

Moreover, something unexpected happened in the Tianchi sect. In the past, the two women could rely on the Jindan ancestor behind them, but later the sect leader Liu Tianhe died outside, and the Yao family ancestor Yao Wanshan disappeared. Gai Chengfei did nothing, but he became the sect leader.

The Yao family must have had a hard time now that they have lost their support.

Lin Bai was nostalgic and had originally planned to visit Yao Qianyuan when he went to Tianchi Sect to preach, but he didn't expect that the other person would come to him.

If an old friend asks to see you, there is no reason not to see him.

Soon, Yao Qianyuan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, came in and knelt respectfully.

It is normal for a Qi-cultivating monk to kneel when meeting a Jindan monk.

But when she was about to kneel down, she felt a breeze lifting her up.

"Why be so polite?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

Seeing that Lin Bai still had feelings for her, Yao Qianyuan's eyes immediately turned red. She was no longer as young as before, and anti-aging pills could not resist the passage of time. In addition, her cultivation was not good, and her complexion was also much worse.

"Senior Zhuanlun has not changed his character, and he has not forgotten our old friendship. You don't need to be so polite." Gai Yingqiu is now far superior to Yao Qianyuan in both status and cultivation, and he no longer regards her as an enemy.

Moreover, without Yao Wanshan in charge, the Yao family is no longer as powerful as before.

"Yes." Yao Qianyuan lowered his head.

"Pei Ning was in Daoyin Sect meditating. Before I came back, she didn't tell me anything else, just told me to remember our friendship."

Lin Bai looked at Yao Qianyuan and smiled, "She said that if you are in trouble, let me help you a little." Sister Pei did mention Yao Qianyuan, but the so-called words of kindness were just to help her out. Lin Bai never lacked elixirs for her. Moreover, when Pei Ning was building her foundation, she almost died at the hands of the Yao family, but her sisterly love with Yao Qianyuan was real.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning are one, so Pei Ning's affairs are naturally Lin Bai's affairs.

Yao Qianyuan was even more moved when he heard this, "She has always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside..."

At this point, Yao Qianyuan bowed and said, "Senior, please help my family."

"What happened to your family?" Lin Bai knew it was a family matter. Yao Wanshan was missing, and the Yao family had no golden elixir to support them, so it was inevitable that they would lose power.

Yao Qianyuan immediately talked about the changes in his family.

As expected, just as Lin Bai guessed, the treatment of the Yao family in the Tianchi sect declined a lot, and they were even ostracized, which was a huge difference from when Yao Wanshan was there.

Lin Bai looked at Gai Yingqiu and asked whether Gai Chengfei had any difficulties.

Gai Yingqiu shook her head slightly.

Lin Bai believed it, only because Gai Chengfei was not only a sword cultivator but also a wine lover. He never liked to meddle in other people's affairs and was also good friends with Gao Yuanyuan.

Therefore, even though Lin Bai had never had a close relationship with Gai Chengfei, he had a general understanding of his personality.

Of course, even if Gai Chengfei was really doing something bad behind his back, Lin Bai couldn't do anything about it. Gai Chengfei was now the head of the Tianchi Sect, so Lin Bai couldn't do anything about it.

"What do you want?" Lin Bai asked Yao Qianyuan.

"I just want to restore my old treatment." Yao Qianyu bowed again.

"You don't have a golden elixir in your family, how can you still compare to the past?"

Lin Bai looked at Yao Qianyuan and said frankly, "It is common for sects to fight against each other. It is inevitable everywhere. The only way out is to become stronger."

After hearing this, Yao Qianyuan trembled, raised his head slightly, and looked at Lin Bai pitifully.

Lin Bai was really nostalgic, and couldn't help but think of the past between the two of them. His heart softened in the end, and he said, "Senior Brother Gai is in charge of Tianchi Sect. I have no friendship with him. Besides, it is unreasonable for me, an outsider, to be in charge. Go back home and pick two people with good qualifications and send them to Fengming Mountain. I will go to teach them in my spare time."

After all, Yao Qianyuan had experience in business, so he knew that this was the best support the other party could do, which was already a benevolent act. He did not dare to ask for more and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

"Is Pei Ning okay?" Yao Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.

"Everything is fine." Lin Bai smiled and said, "When you have time, you can go to Daoyin Sect. She is not a person who forgets her roots or the past. She is just aloof and doesn't like to socialize."

"Yes." Yao Qianyuan finally smiled.

After a few more words, the two women left.

"The road is ruthless. If you want to reach the top, there will always be people who fall behind. Today it is Yao Qianyuan, who will it be tomorrow?"

Lin Bai sighed and closed his eyes to meditate.

Two days later, Miaomiao and others came to invite again.

Lin Bai calmed himself down and went to Fengming Mountain first, and then to the Jiang family.

As he spent more time in Qiaoshan, he met more and more people and experienced more and more things. Not only the Zhu and Jiang families, with whom Lin Bai had the closest relationship, but also the Chunyu family and the Tian family, with whom he had deep contacts.

Other families and sects also have acquaintances. In the past, cultivators who have advanced to the Golden Core stage were not as busy as Lin Bai, which shows that Miaomiao really sold out her master.

They all spent money, so Lin Bai couldn't be too perfunctory. One family talked about the way of alchemy, and the other family talked about the wonders of formations. He would have to talk about the debate on alchemy someday. The larger sects and families also needed to talk about their experiences abroad, the humanities and customs, the experience of going abroad, etc.

When someone asks a question, you have to answer it, for fear that the other person will be dissatisfied.

After being busy for more than a month, Lin Bai finally gained some knowledge. The Taoist association was not about empty talk. All of its insights were serious. He managed to get through the Taoist association's affairs.

Moreover, because Lin Bai always answered questions, his words were meaningful, and he was not arrogant, and he was warm and polite to others, for a time everyone in Qiaoshan praised Lin Bai as a gentle gentleman and a man of virtue.

Even the Jindan cultivators from various sects and families in Qiaoshan wanted to make friends with him, and they tried to find out whether Lin Bai was willing to accept any disciples.

After finishing the trivial matters of the Taoist association, Lin Bai finally had some free time. He summoned the three girls to Chunhui Hall, intending to assign them tasks to avoid being bothered.

"Master, the female cultivator from the Shang family is looking for me again!" Miaomiao came forward excitedly, massaging Lin Bai's shoulders while saying, "I heard that she has a different physique, which is good for dual cultivation."

At this point, she lowered her head close to Lin Bai's ear and said with a smile: "You are also very beautiful! Master, I have slept with you, wow... You are so charming and beautiful, a beauty on earth!"

The merchant family used to rely on the Cheng family, but later on, the ancestor of the Cheng family passed away. Although there is still a head of general affairs to take charge, things are different after all. That’s why they came to make friends with Lin Bai, the new favorite of ancestor Gu.

"Do you know what a beauty is?" Lin Bai glared at her. "If you refuse, just say I'm not interested in women."

"That's what I said. I have rejected it on behalf of my master!" Miaomiao changed her words.

Lin Bai had no way to deal with Miaomiao. This girl was too active in the mind. Apart from practicing, she just wandered around all day long. She actually had acquaintances in all kinds of sects.

Besides, he is not as pure as Xiao Yu'er, nor does he like the art of formations as much as Dugu Jing. Anyway, he has no hobbies and just picks up whatever he can.

Just like the matter of the Taoist Association, she was not actually short of spirit stones, she was just idle.

"Has Xiao Huang sent a letter?" Lin Bai asked again.

Ever since Huang Ruhua found out that Fox was not at home a while ago, she quickly returned to Mianlongshan. Miaomiao and the other two even went to see her off.

"She said that Fairy Chenyu was indeed not at home. The young master's wife was originally going to come to Qiaoshan, but was persuaded by her to stay." Miaomiao said.

Since he is not at home, maybe he went to the north with Sister Zhen to make trouble.

Lin Bai was thinking, if Fox wasn't at home, then Xiuxiu...

"Master, how about I lure Xiao Huang away so that you can reunite with your master's wife!" Miao Miao patted her chest, very confident, "Even if it's that big beast, we can think of a way to lure it away."

This disciple is not good in every way, but his heart to be filial to his master is sincere!

"Xiu Xiu is in seclusion, so stay out of trouble." Lin Bai glared at her, but he was moved in his heart.

I haven't seen Xiuxiu for a long time and I want to chat with her.

Dugu Jing said nothing. She already knew about Xiuxiu's affairs, so she was not surprised at this moment.

"Okay, everything is over." Lin Bai didn't want to talk to the three girls anymore, so he gave the order directly, "Miao Miao, go back to Fengming Mountain to practice meditation, and also serve as a teacher in the clan. Also, take good care of the two people that Tianchi sent from the Yao family. I don't ask them to become talents, but at least don't corrupt their character."

"Master, don't you trust my character? I promise to teach you well!" Miaomiao patted her chest and spoke shamelessly.

Lin Bai glared at her, then looked at Jiang Yu and said, "You should also go back to Yuhu to meditate. If you have any questions, come find me again."

"Yes." Jiang Yu bowed politely.

Lin Bai liked Jiang Yu's honesty very much, so he encouraged him with a smile, then looked at Dugu Jing and said, "You are here to make friends with Daoyin Sect after all, so just stay with me for now."

Dugu Jing smiled happily when he heard this, and immediately leaned over to respond.

Miaomiao and Jiangyu looked at each other meaningfully.

Make arrangements and go home.
