Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 138 Teaching a lesson to the disobedient Little Qingjun!
"Barely considered delicious?"

The little girl puffed out her chest, her tone dissatisfied.
"Master was clearly trying his best to cook delicious food for Qingjun! What do you mean by 'reluctantly'? If you want to please Qingjun, then stop hiding it! Otherwise, Qingjun won't forgive you!"

Chen Ye looked at the little girl's dissatisfaction with disbelief:

"You...forgive your master?"

When will he need the little girl's forgiveness?
These two troublesome disciples, after listening to Bai Susu's nonsense, came to him in a daze. They'll be helping him count the money even if they get sold out in the future!

and,

Shouldn't it be the little girl begging him for forgiveness?

But now, even though they were the ones who ran away first, they're being portrayed as the ones in the right...

The little girl put her hands on her hips, mimicking Bai Susu's posture, and pointed her delicate chin at him, speaking with an air of self-righteousness:

"Of course, it's because Master arrived too late to save us! He caused Qingjun and Senior Sister to be so worried!"

"Hurry up and bring out whatever good food you have, Qingjun can't wait... Waaah?"

The next moment, the little girl, who was babbling away, was grabbed by the back of her neck by the man.

"Since Qingjun is so impatient, how can I, as her master, bear to keep her waiting?"

Seeing Qingjun imitating Bai Susu, Chen Ye was suddenly overwhelmed with both old and new grudges, and he wished he could teach the little girl a lesson right now.

This girl, she'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles if she's not disciplined for a day!
"You stinky master! Put Qingjun down right now! Qingjun has legs of her own!"

The little girl, still unaware of the situation, kicked her little feet wildly, like a carp surfacing for water.

"If you bully me, I'll tell Sister Bai... Master, do you think Qingjun doesn't know? Master, are you afraid of Sister Bai...?"

Upon hearing this, Zhiwei immediately became anxious.

She saw things much more clearly than Qingjun, knowing that the relationship between her master and Bai Susu was not simple.

They can't even be called friends...

Moreover, Master actually doesn't like Bai Susu!
Master has done so much for Qingjun, and yet Qingjun uses Bai Susu to threaten him. Master will definitely be heartbroken!
As expected, Chen Ye's face visibly darkened.

Zhiwei quickly said, "Master, please calm down. Qingjun is an idiot... she never thinks before she speaks..."

"Qingjun is not stupid, Qingjun is very smart!"

The little girl puffed out her cheeks, becoming even more stubborn.
"Master, did you hear Qingjun speak?! Put Qingjun down now!"

Chen Ye shook his head at Zhiwei:
"Don't worry, Master knows what he's doing. This little one is already so disobedient at such a young age; what will she be like when she grows up?"

A doting father often spoils his daughter!
Humans are sometimes strange things.

As the saying goes, a kind person is often taken advantage of.

If you treat her well, she's more likely to take advantage and never be satisfied.

But if you are strict with her, she will be flattered by the slightest lack of reward.

Perhaps it was because of Chen Ye's gentleness during this period that the little girl truly believed she was riding on her master's head and began to do whatever she wanted.

You know, this guy hasn't even reached his rebellious phase yet. Once he does, I don't know how much of a headache he'll be!

We must teach him a lesson now, or he'll start breathing on his master in the future!
Afterwards, Chen Ye, without bothering to reprimand Zhiwei, grabbed Qingjun and strode towards the dark house.

"Master!"

The older girl was very worried; she remembered her master's methods...

I still remember that year, just because Qingjun was greedy, she ate half a steamed bun.

Without saying a word, the master pressed Qingjun down on his lap and nearly beat half of her buttocks raw...

In the days that followed, Qingjun was even unable to walk!

Seeing the eldest girl following closely behind, Chen Ye, who was usually gentle with his disciple, unusually serious, said:
"Master's mind is made up. Zhiwei, you wait for me outside..."

Chen Ye is no pushover!

He has two apprentices, not to be their "servants," but as their master!

……

The small, dark room was dimly lit.

The little girl was a little scared at this moment. She carefully raised her little face and secretly glanced at her master.

The dim light shone on the man's face, making his expression inscrutable.

"Gu..."

The little girl's legs began to tremble, and she muttered to herself,

"Master is so petty. Alright, alright, let Master carry me over... Where's the good food? Qingjun, I can't see it?"

Oh?
Did this girl think it was going to be something delicious?
"Guess where the delicious food is?" Chen Ye shook the little girl, making her exclaim in surprise.

"Damn it... Qingjun found out! Master wants to hold Qingjun and feed her like he used to, just like he used to hold Senior Sister, right? Qingjun will reluctantly accept it... There's really no way to deal with Master."

The little girl suddenly realized.

Master must have thought she was so cute that he wanted to hold her!
Just like when she used to hug Mimi!
Sigh, having such a master is really giving this girl a headache.

as predicted,

The next moment, the man pressed Qingjun's soft body onto his lap.

However, she was facing down, with her back to the man.

"Oh? Master, you've given me the wrong baby!"

The little girl, dissatisfied, braced herself against Chen Ye's thighs and forcibly turned herself over.

She sat willingly in her master's lap, her bright phoenix eyes darting around:

"Hey, Qingjun, why can't I smell any fragrance?"

The little girl is very confident about her nose!
She didn't smell any fragrance; instead, she sensed a faint, almost imperceptible, murderous aura.

"When I said it was barely palatable, it was because I hadn't even started cooking it yet..."

The little girl's ears twitched, and she suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Then the man slowly explained, "Didn't Master already say it? It's stir-fried pork with spicy whip."

"Yeah?"

Before the little girl could react, everything turned upside down, and she was once again pinned to her master's lap, struggling violently.

"Master, what are you saying? Qingjun doesn't understand."

Chen Ye looked at his hands.

Ultimately, he didn't intend to hit her with his hands, even though Qingjun was still young and it was too early for the separation of men and women.

However, there are still things that need to be noted in advance.

He then drew a long whip from his waist, weighed the force in his hand, and gently lashed Qingjun's plump buttocks with the tip of the whip:

"Will you dare to speak to your master in that tone again?!"

"Hmph! Do you treat your master like your father or your slave?!"

Appropriate corporal punishment can indeed be necessary for children.

There was a "pop" sound!
The previously chattering little girl fell silent after being struck by the sudden lash.

Even her entire small body suddenly stiffened on Chen Ye's lap, and then went completely limp.

"Ouch, that hurts... Master is the most annoying person in the world! I'm going to tell Sister Bai!"

Qingjun pouted and cried until her eyes were brimming with tears.

Chen Ye had initially felt sorry for her, but after hearing her words, his heart hardened again:
"You want Bai Susu to teach Master a lesson?"

"I want Sister Bai to give Master a good beating!"

The little girl bit Chen Ye's leg fiercely, but hesitated after biting down, only gently nibbling at his clothes before angrily saying:
"You wicked master!"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes.

Knowing that the girl was in a stubborn state, and that no matter what he said, she would still hold a grudge... Chen Ye would not slowly coax Qingjun and then try to reason with her.

The reason is that if he backs down, the little girl will definitely go even further next time!

"Clap!"

The master didn't speak, he just kept whipping the whip.

Seeing that his disciple was cursing him, he beat him again.

Believe it or not, the little girl is usually quite timid, but once she gets angry, not even eight oxen could hold her back.

He didn't beg for mercy even after the first few lashes.

"Yeah..."

Although Chen Ye controlled his strength, it still frightened the little dumpling who was afraid of pain.

Her face scrunched up in pain, and she tried to cover her bottom with her little hands.

As a result, he was easily captured by his master.
The master's hands were very large, large enough to grab her two thin wrists with one hand and then press them against the back of her head.

Only two slender legs were kicking the air back and forth.

"Will you still run around like that in the future? Before Master left, he repeatedly emphasized to you that you were not allowed to run around like that!"

"Are you still not going to listen to others? Do you think Bai Susu is a good person? If someone else said they would take you to find your master, would you obediently follow them?"

The last sentence was what angered Chen Ye the most.

Even Chen Ye himself didn't know much about Bai Susu and was very wary of her.

But after Bai Susu said a few words, the two girls obediently went out with them.

In my past life, how would I be any different from those elementary school students who were abducted?
For example, after school, someone says your parents have something to do and asks me to pick you up, and then you obediently get into the car with a stranger, right?
The little girl was so badly beaten that she dared not curse her master anymore, and could only sob silently.

Her little bottom was even a bit swollen!
Chen Ye finally felt sorry for her and stopped, then suddenly asked, "Do you think Sister Bai is a good person and Master is a bad person?"

"Hmm..." The little girl's voice was very soft, but Chen Ye could still hear it clearly.

Chen Ye shook his head, knowing that the little girl was just being stubborn.

Deliberately using a sentimental tone:

"Qingjun, your master has taken care of you for so long. Just because your master hit and scolded you today, does that make you a bad person?"

"And Bai Susu, a complete stranger to you, who only brought you to Yuexi Fang, is she a good person?"

The little girl fell silent immediately.

She cautiously turned around and peeked out. Seeing her master's sorrowful face, the little girl felt inexplicably flustered, but she still stubbornly maintained her composure.
"Master is a bad person for hitting Qingjun!"

When she turned around, a bulging, pouch-like thing was sticking out of her pocket.

Chen Ye glanced at it subconsciously, and when he saw that his master had noticed, the little girl became even more aggrieved: "Don't look! This isn't for Master!"

Good guy.

Upon hearing Qingjun's words, Chen Ye knew that this was something Qingjun wanted to give him.

He suddenly felt a little guilty.
Is the little disciple thinking, "Oh, I'm about to give Master a gift, Master will be so happy," and therefore getting too excited?

No wonder the little girl was jumping around so enthusiastically today...

Chen Ye saw that the little girl had teary eyes and a wronged look on her face, plus her swollen little bottom, she looked as pitiful as could be.

He hardened his heart, feeling even more aggrieved than Qingjun.

Chen Ye sighed softly, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.
"Perhaps... it's because Master didn't do enough."

"Bai Susu led you into such a perilous situation in the Misty Forest, while Master risked his life to save you there, and yet... Qingjun prefers Bai Susu..."

The little girl had never seen her master so melancholy.

She opened her small mouth, not even bothering to wipe away her tears: "Master...Master..."

Chen Ye grasped the little girl's thin waist and placed her on the ground.

Then, he turned around, his back to the little girl: "It was wrong of your master to hit you. Go out... let your master have some peace and quiet."

The little girl stared blankly at her master's lonely figure, feeling a strange pang of heartache.

Yes, it was my own fault to begin with...

She was disobedient, talked back to her master, and showed no gratitude whatsoever; all she did was boss her master around...

"Master... it was Qingjun's fault."

The little girl cautiously stepped forward and tugged at her master's sleeve.

But his master remained silent.

The little girl mustered her courage, slowly snuggled into her master's arms, and then lay down on his lap.

She strained to stick her little bottom up: "Master, continue punishing Qingjun! It's all Qingjun's fault for being disobedient..."

Chen Ye almost couldn't help but laugh.

Although he wanted to continue pretending, it would be a bit unfair to Qingjun if he continued.

He just wanted to find a different way to stop Qingjun from being stubborn.

Chen Ye picked Qingjun up and rubbed her head:

"Remember this from now on: don't trust others too easily... Also, your master is the best person in the world!"

"Mmm! Qingjun... Qingjun will definitely not like anyone else from now on, not even Sister Bai! She'll only like Master, okay!"

Qingjun quickly patted her chest and assured her, "Sigh, Master really gives me a lot of trouble! Of course, except for Senior Sister! Qingjun's favorite will always be Senior Sister!"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow. Something about those words sounded strange, so he quickly corrected himself: "No, no, Qingjun can naturally like other people in the future, but she must listen to her master first!"

"Huh? What's the difference?" The little girl was very puzzled. Anyway, she figured she could never go wrong by listening to her master.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she sat on her master's lap, her little brows furrowed. She quickly braced herself on Chen Ye's shoulders and carefully lifted her bottom, exclaiming, "Ouch, that hurts!"

Chen Ye helped support the girl's waist and said apologetically, "Master used too much force."

The little girl was very understanding of her master: "Master, please don't say that! It's all Qingjun's fault for being disobedient!"

Chen Ye's combination of a big stick and a sweet treat had left the little girl completely bewildered, her mind filled with her master's good intentions.

When disciplining a disciple, one must find the right approach...

Chen Ye felt smug.

It's difficult to educate a girl like Qingjun well by simply hitting or persuading her.

Only by combining persuasion and discipline can we get her to obey.

But when Qingjun grows up, will she realize that she was actually manipulating Qingjun's feelings on purpose?

That can't be...it's impossible. How could she remember something from when she was a child...?

Besides, I'm only doing this to educate my disciple!

"Oh, right, Master..."

The little girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She carefully took out the bulging oil paper package from her pocket and whispered,
"Before, Qingjun prepared a piece of candy even bigger than Master! But... it was all destroyed by the bad guys, leaving only a small piece. Qingjun spent the last few days working hard to make a new one. Master, please try it! Hmm... let Qingjun feed Master!"

After all, her bottom hurt a lot from being spanked by her master.

So now Master is holding her with both hands, so he doesn't have any free hands...

I'm such a kind and understanding child!

As for Chen Ye, he leaned comfortably in his chair, letting the little girl endure the pain and busily feed him.

Well, children still need to be taught to be filial...
