The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 83 Liar
Pei Ning left the yard and found Lin Bai with a smile on his face.

"But was he accepted as a disciple?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"No." Pei Ning shook her head, looking relieved. "They lit an incense burner, and the smoke made it impossible for people to lie." When she said this, her smile became even more obvious. "I revealed everything about my murder. They are from a famous and upright family, so they must not want me anymore."

"Then what are you happy about?" Lin Bai also laughed.

"What do you care about me?" Pei Ning giggled even more, went up and grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve, and regardless of the other people around, she whispered: "Let's go rent the double cave house from the Jiang family, I quite like it." A little sweat appeared on her forehead, and her ears were a little red.

Of course Lin Bai understood what it meant, and his steps became lighter.

The couple walked down the mountain side by side, all in a hurry and looking impatient.

Before I walked far, I heard someone behind me calling out, "Where's Pei Ning?"

The two turned around and saw a tall young female cultivator wearing the standard Taoist robe of the Tianchi sect, also looking over at them.

"Are you Pei Ning? You have already entered my sect, and we will be sisters in the future." The female cultivator said in a cold voice.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other in bewilderment: Why do you even want desperate criminals? Is the incense burner white?

"Don't be in a daze, come with me." Seeing Pei Ning in a daze, the young female cultivator also smiled.

"Sister, please wait a moment. I want to say a few words to you." Pei Ning didn't care whether the female cultivator agreed or not, and pulled Lin Bai into the woods beside the road.

"Sister Ning, we are not in a hurry right now..." Although Lin Bai also wanted to sleep, he was not in such a hurry.

A hundred steps into the woods.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Ning understood what Lin Bai said. She blushed and coughed twice. She put on a serious face and said, "Although we are not together, you should practice diligently. If you can, you can also find a job. If you can't find one, just wait for me."

"Sister Ning, you are still so nice to me!" Lin Bai was just feeling moved when he saw a flash of sword light. Pei Ning had taken out the iron sword and put it against his chest.

Although Pei Ning's face was still a little red, she was very cold. She whispered: "I entered Tianchi Sect to learn martial arts this time for the sake of the great way. But no matter the difficulties and obstacles, no matter how high or low my achievements in the future are, I will always remember our friendship and will never let you down in the slightest!"

As she said this, the sword moved down from the chest to the waist, and landed in front of the crotch.

"You are the best at sweet talk, and you are willing to bend down to deceive ignorant women!" Pei Ning stared at Lin Bai and said word by word: "Except for your sister Zhen and Xiuxiu, I don't recognize anyone else. If you cheat on me, I will marry you..."

As she spoke, she thrust forward lightly and continued, "I will chase you down through heaven and earth, chop it off, cut it into fine pieces, and feed it to the dog in front of you."

Pei Ning looked stern, as if Lin Bai was having an affair.

Pei Ning sheathed his sword and turned to leave. But after a few steps, he turned back with a smile on his face.

She said, "I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking: Your sister Ning doesn't allow me to have affairs, but she also doesn't allow me to sleep? Is that right or not?" Pei Ning smiled and pressed the pearl hairpin on her head. "Just wait, there will be someone you can sleep with."

After saying this, Pei Ning seemed to feel much more relaxed. After leaving the forest, he went to look for the female cultivator from Tianchi Sect.

The female cultivator looked at Pei Ning, and was slightly stunned before she said, "Come with me to register." Then she approached Pei Ning and whispered, "Junior Sister Pei, you should kick that wild man of yours as soon as possible."

"Ah? Why?" Pei Ning was surprised and thought to himself, does your Tianchi sect still care about this?
"He's too fast." The young female cultivator seemed experienced. "A cultivator's body is stronger than an ordinary person, but he's still so fast... Most likely his foundation is not good enough."

Pei Ning was stunned for a moment before he understood, then he shook his head and laughed.

When the female cultivator saw Pei Ning's smile, she thought there was something else going on and murmured, "Could it be that being fast has its benefits? Let's go back and look for him..."

Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead, made sure that he was not missing anything, and then staggered out of the forest.

When the casual cultivators who were queuing saw Lin Bai's exhausted appearance, they all started laughing, but they were intimidated by the power of the Tianchi Sect and did not dare to laugh out loud.

"Daoyou is so fast!"

"Brother, you are very efficient and never drag your feet!"

"This guy looks pretty good, why does he have a silver-plated spear head?"

Some people winked at Lin Bai, and some female cultivators even looked disdainful.

Lin Bai ignored them and just watched Pei Ning and the female cultivator walking side by side towards the main mountain of Tianchi Sect.

Pei Ning turned around again, waved his hand, and soon disappeared.

After looking for a while, Lin Bai returned to Xinyifang.

Along the way, there were many independent cultivators heading towards Tianchi Sect. Everyone had a rosy glow on their face, and they were eager to be selected by Tianchi Sect and then get rid of their status as independent cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, you just came down from Tianchi, but were rejected?" A casual cultivator stopped Lin Bai, followed by a man and two women. "My qualifications are low, so I'm naturally not in the eyes of the immortals." Lin Bai was in a surprisingly good mood, and just wanted to go back and clean up his little nest as soon as possible.

"You are too modest, fellow Daoist." The casual cultivator complimented Lin Bai casually and ignored him.

After entering Xinyifang, we walked southwards. After passing several streets, we arrived at the southernmost part of Xinyifang, close to the mountain.

There are many flowers and trees here, and the fragrance is everywhere. There is a door every two meters on the side of the mountain. This is the cave that the Jiang family rents to independent cultivators.

It was quite lively here at this time, and many independent cultivators were out chatting, but most of them were quite old. Obviously, the younger ones had gone to the four major sects to try their luck.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Zhonghe!" The girl from the Jiang family was still there. She was very sharp-eyed and when she saw Lin Bai she quickly ran over, extremely enthusiastic.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Jiang." Lin Bai bowed.

"Hey? Where's Sister Pei? Where's your Taoist partner?" the girl from the Jiang family asked curiously.

"She is lucky and was accepted as a disciple by the Tianchi Sect." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"The Tianchi Sect accepted you? Congratulations!" Young cultivator Jiang grinned and said sincerely, "After joining the Tianchi Sect, most of them want to become sword cultivators. Sword cultivators don't have good tempers, so Fellow Daoist Yun Zhonghe should be careful in the future."

"Of course." Lin Bai smiled, thinking that she had been treating me badly every day before she became a sword cultivator, and now that she has become a sword cultivator, I'm afraid she will really take action against me, right?

"Fellow Daoist Yun, is the double cave still available for rent?" the young female cultivator from the Jiang family asked expectantly.

"She wants to live in Tianchi Sect permanently, so it would be a waste for me to live there alone." Lin Bai said tactfully.

"How can it be a waste?" The young female cultivator from the Jiang family frowned in confusion and said, "Can't you just find someone else?"

"This..." Lin Bai immediately remembered Pei Ning's words, and his crotch felt cold.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, you've got it wrong. I don't want to break you up." The young female cultivator from the Jiang family looked like an experienced person and said, "Sister Pei is not here, what are you afraid of?" She patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll find you a satisfactory one within three days! You have good cultivation, a sweet mouth, and are beautiful... You are so charming, are you afraid that no one will want you? You only need to worry about one thing, that there are too many people coming, and your double cave can't sleep!" She was very familiar, patted Lin Bai's arm, and said with a smile, "You are at an age of wolf and tiger, how can you live without a woman by your side? Don't wrong yourself."

"..." Lin Bai rubbed his forehead and finally understood.

This young female cultivator from the Jiang family is obsessed with renting out the double cave, and has resorted to all means and has gone astray.

"Young Taoist Jiang, may I ask what your name is? And how old are you?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"My name is Jiang Xiaobai." The little girl smiled and pointed at Lin Bai with her little finger, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yun, you have to be more sweet. When asking a female cultivator about her age, you can't ask how old she is. You should ask how old she is! Also, if she looks older, you can't ask. Those old... old sisters are more likely to deceive themselves and can't stand others asking about their age." After she praised Lin Bai, she proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm fourteen this year!"

After she finished speaking, she pulled Lin Bai's sleeve and said, "Let's go! I'll introduce you to a few independent cultivator sisters. They are good-looking, but... not very smart. Anyway, you know what I mean!"

Lin Bai stood still and said, "Although Fellow Daoist Jiang is young, his cultivation is not low. What's more, he is eloquent and thoughtful. If the Jiang family wants to move to a higher level in the future, I'm afraid it will depend on Fellow Daoist Jiang!"

"Haha!" Jiang Xiaobai laughed, she put one hand on her waist and waved the other hand quickly, "Daoyou, you are too kind!"

"Are you really fourteen years old?" Lin Bai asked.

"Why would I lie to you?" Jiang Xiaobai looked up at Lin Bai.

"You've reached a bottleneck in your cultivation, so you came here to gain some experience, right?" Lin Bai asked again.

"That's not the case." Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, feeling quite embarrassed. "I made a small mistake and was punished to be sent here."

"What little mistake?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"I was strolling in Xinyifang that day, and a female cultivator brought a string of beads to me, saying that she got them from the ruins of the cave of the God of Transformation, and wanted to sell them to me." Jiang Xiaobai looked distressed, as if he was recalling the pain of the past.

"You should look for the patrolling guards." Lin Bai smiled.

"How can that be possible? Those people holding the five-colored sticks are very fierce!" Jiang Xiaobai shook his head quickly, "I didn't have enough spirit stones at the time, so I was going to pawn a bottle of elixir that the ancestor gave me at the pawnshop. The female cultivator said it was too troublesome to go to the pawnshop, and she said she would exchange all her spirit stones and the string of beads for the elixir. I agreed..."

"I guess there's something wrong with that bottle of medicine?" Lin Bai didn't believe that such a clever person could be fooled.

If it was Xiuxiu, then there would still be a possibility!

"Yes." Jiang Xiaobai sighed and shook his head, "I just remembered after I got home that I made that bottle of medicine blindly. That female cultivator probably thought I was a fool from a rich family, and she had little experience, so she ran away as soon as she got the medicine..."

"You only remembered it after you got home?" Lin Bai laughed. "Did you do it on purpose, or was it an accident?"

"Hehe." Jiang Xiaobai laughed naively. "Now you believe that I can find you a temporary Taoist partner, right? Just pay for the rent, and don't worry about the money."

Lin Bai frowned and leaned on his foot, hesitating whether to rent a cave in another place, as it was not very safe here.
