A life of clearness

Chapter 408 Thoughts

"will not."

Since she had already promised Chang Guo, she would not regret it, no matter whether Rong Qing agreed or refused. No matter whether Rong Qing refused sternly or pretended to agree.

"In this case, Yu Rong dare not tell lies in front of the Taoist master."

The female cultivator in white looked serious.

"I already have someone in my heart. It is impossible for me to be a Taoist partner with anyone other than my sweetheart."

As for who that lover is, Rong Qing is unwilling to say, and the Taoist master doesn't need to know.

"How brave you are." The Taoist said in a cold tone. If the Taoist was gentle at the beginning, he was extremely cold now.

This was normal. At the beginning, Rong Qing had the possibility of marrying with Donglin Jianmen, so of course she would treat her gently. But now - she was already showing her good temper by not driving Rong Qing out.

"I will give you ten days to comprehend the sword tablet. When the time is up, you will return to Juntian Sect."

"Ten days?" Number One Under Heaven hummed in Rong Qing's ear: "This woman is really narrow-minded."

What good would ten days do? Even if I were given three years in the Forest of Steles, I wouldn’t be able to comprehend much!

But Rong Qing didn't dare to have any complaints. She was already taking advantage of him by being given the opportunity to comprehend the sword monument.

Rong Qing thanked the Taoist master of Donglin Jianmen very respectfully.

……

When Rong Qing retreated to the door, she saw that the master and disciple had not left at all, but were still waiting for her there.

Facing the gazes from the master and disciple, Rong Qing, who had not been so afraid of the Taoist master before, now couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The swordsman looked even more handsome under the soft flower vines, and his eyes were extremely gentle.

Li Changguo did not ask what the Taoist master and Rong Qing talked about. Instead, he smiled and said, "The Taoist master should agree to give you a chance to comprehend, right? Yu Rong, do you want to visit Jianmen first or go up the mountain to comprehend first? Meng Shi has been practicing hard for a while, so it's time for him to relax. Why not let him accompany you around?"

Meng Shi, who was standing beside Li Changguo, pursed his lips and nodded.

Rong Qing paused, and just as she was about to speak, a tender voice sounded.

"Master, Master Uncle..."

The gate was opened a crack, and a little boy walked out timidly from the crack.

The boy had delicate features, and was wearing the Taoist robes of the Donglin Jianmen Sect. His height was not even as high as Rong Qing's waist, but his cultivation was...

Wow, it’s actually the Nascent Soul!
If his age is what he looks like, then this little boy has extraordinary talent.

But... Rong Qing changed her mind and realized that being able to practice under the Taoist master's side clearly showed her aptitude.

"Yu'er?" Li Changguo obviously knew him.

"The master wants you to come in."

Li Changguo frowned slightly, then calmed down and said to Rong Qing: "Then let Meng Shi accompany you first."

“No, no.” The boy called Yu’er waved his hands hastily: “The headmaster asked me to take Fairy Yu Rong into the mountain and not to let anyone else follow.”

And these people obviously include not only Li Changguo, but also Meng Shi.

"Are you so anxious?" Meng Shi was also puzzled.

"How can we not be anxious when it comes to cultivation?" Rong Qing, who knew the cause and effect of the matter well, didn't want to make things difficult for the child, so she handled the situation with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Li and Fellow Daoist Mengshi, for bringing me here. I will definitely remember this favor. I will not bother you any more now." She raised her sleeves and bowed, "Please allow me to go and comprehend the sword monument first."

After she finishes comprehending the sword stele, there is no need to see him again, so she should leave Donglin Jianmen quickly so that the boss won’t be unhappy when he sees her.

Although Li Changguo had doubts in his heart, he had lived for tens of thousands of years and was a calm person, so he suppressed his doubts and said nothing more.

He said in a gentle voice: "In that case, I will wait for your good news."...

As soon as Yu'er saw his uncle releasing the people, he quickly led the way for Rong Qing. Two figures, one big and one small, almost instantly flew up into the clouds.

Seeing that they didn't dare to stay here any longer, it seemed that Rong Qing and Yu'er had the same idea.

"Master?"

Li Changguo looked at Meng Shi and shook his head, "I'll go ask my senior sister."

As he said this, he walked into the yard and paid his respects to the Taoist master.

The Taoist master, who was intimidating without being angry, was not surprised to see him coming.

"What did Senior Sister say to her? Why is Yu Rong looking at me in such a strange way? And I originally wanted Meng Shi and Yu Rong to spend more time together, but I didn't expect Senior Sister to let Yu'er out." Li Changguo asked his doubts: "Just to lead the way for Yu Rong?"

The Taoist master of Donglin Jianmen showed no expression when he heard this, and just asked him to sit down.

"Do you want to hide what's in your mind from me, your senior sister?"

"What do you mean?"

The Taoist Master looked at him helplessly: "Thoughts about Yu Rong."

"I asked you to find out Yu Rong's thoughts for the sake of Meng Shi. After all, you are also a female cultivator, and it would be inconvenient if I asked you rashly."

The gray-clothed swordsman's mouth drooped, and he seemed a little dissatisfied. As for what he was dissatisfied with, only Li Changguo himself knew it.

"Really?" The Taoist master sneered, laughing at him for deceiving himself: "For Meng Shi?"

"Then why did I notice that you were different when you came back from Juntian Tower? It was especially different when you mentioned Yu Rong!"

"You grew up in Donglin Sword Sect. I taught you swordsmanship personally since you started building your foundation. How could I not see that you were just beginning to experience love?"

In front of outsiders, the Taoist master calls herself "this seat", but to Li Changguo, whom she raised personally, she calls herself "I".

Li Changguo and Qin Lao were in similar situations, both were the last disciples accepted by powerful cultivators, so they had the advantage of seniority. When the previous leader of Donglin Jianmen accepted Li Changguo, the disciples accepted by the Taoist master in his early years who had not died had at least met with bad luck.

Today, this Taoist master is ranked second, and he is the only one among the disciples who has broken through to the ultimate realm. It is natural for him to become the current leader of Donglin Jianmen.

As the eldest sister in the sect, she naturally cared for the youngest one and even taught him like a half-disciple.

"So, Senior Sister mentioned me when she was talking to Yu Rong earlier?" Although it was a question, Li Changguo's tone was very certain.

He noticed that Rong Qing had looked at him with something wrong since she came out. He was puzzled at first, but now he thought that the head sister must have revealed his thoughts to Rong Qing.

"I did." The Taoist master readily admitted, "Of course I have to say it. If she is interested, it would be a good thing. If she is not interested, it would be a good idea for you to give up the idea early, so as not to fall into it and be disadvantageous to your path."

"So..." Li Changguo's smile was tinged with bitterness for the first time: "She doesn't want to."

If Yu Rong was willing, Senior Sister would not have asked Yu'er to lead the way, thus eliminating the possibility for them to get along with him as master and disciple.

"Yu Rong has already told me that she has someone else in her heart. I think she is indeed obsessed..." The Taoist master's clear eyes fell on him and advised: "Since this is the case, you don't have to be obsessed."

Li Changguo fell silent.

……

On the other side, the boy was flying towards the floating mountain on his flying sword, while the female cultivator in white followed closely beside him. However, compared to the boy's hard work, the female cultivator's posture was neither hurried nor slow.

"Yu'er... Daoist friend?" Rong Qing hesitated and said, "I'm not that anxious actually. You don't have to work so hard."

No matter how talented the boy was, he was only a Nascent Soul, and the speed of a Nascent Soul was far slower than that of a Spiritual Transformation. Moreover, Rong Qing was good at straight-line burst speed. For a distance that was not far from a Spiritual Transformation, it would still take some time to fly at the speed of a Nascent Soul.

Rong Qing felt both amused and helpless when she saw the boy not daring to save any spiritual energy in order to maintain the maximum speed while flying the sword.
