Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 143 Susu, Suffering in Silence
fortunately.

This troublemaker's feet didn't smell bad; they even had a hint of a young girl's fragrance.

This isn't because Chen Ye is suppressing his feelings...

Rather, Bai Susu, being a Foundation Establishment True Person, has little of the filth of mortals.

Chen Ye's expression remained unchanged as he gently enveloped the small foot with both hands, his tone serious:
“Master Bai, ordinary massage merely soothes the skin and flesh. I have learned a minor skill that allows me to examine the meridians and clear blockages, with effects far surpassing ordinary techniques. Perhaps you may give it a try, Master Bai?”

"ah……"

Bai Susu bit her lip almost imperceptibly. Seeing that her little feet were being held by the man's hands, she unconsciously looked away and continued eating her snack.

Hearing Chen Ye speak so logically and persuasively, I suddenly became interested:

"Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Yes." Chen Ye replied respectfully.

He took a deep breath, silently recited the incantation, and used his fingers as a blade to circulate the Limit-Breaking Swift Blade Technique.

In an instant, the world in Chen Ye's eyes subtly changed. All things in the world, whether grass, trees, mountains, or rocks, faintly revealed their inner veins and textures, like those of spiritual plants.

The small, snow-white foot in his palm, the meridians, the flow of qi and blood, and even every tiny acupoint within it were all clearly visible to him.

Chen Ye never expected that the first time he would use his Limit-Breaking Swift Blade was to give someone a massage.

A wisp of cyan energy, almost imperceptible yet extremely refined, lingered around his fingertips.

Then, seemingly casually, he lightly touched the sole of her foot, which was as soft as jade.

"ah!"

Bai Susu felt a sharp yet strangely tingling force instantly pierce through her skin and flesh, precisely striking a meridian point she had never felt before!

That feeling wasn't painful, but it was even more unbearable than pain!
It was as if every nerve in the soles of her feet had been plucked, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body, causing her to go limp and almost slide off the chair.

As if electrocuted, she jerked her foot back, her amber eyes glaring at Chen Ye with a mixture of shame and anger: "You...you...you...what are you doing!"

Chen Ye looked up innocently and asked blankly, "Master Bai, what's wrong? I was just using my internal energy to clear your Yongquan acupoint. This is the foundation of a person and the source of qi and blood. It's normal for the reaction to be a bit strong the first time you've been stimulated."

"Yongquan acupoint?" Bai Susu was taken aback. She naturally knew about this acupoint, but she never thought that massaging an acupoint would have such a strong reaction.

Looking at Chen Ye's serious expression, as if she were the one making a fuss, her anger instantly turned into a few doubts.

Could it be... that I'm just ignorant?

Chen Ye suddenly realized: "Could it be that Master Bai is afraid of pain? Then I'll be gentler..."

"Ha, will it hurt? Is that even possible?"

How could Bai Susu's pride tolerate being told she was afraid of pain by a "servant"?

Her pretty face flushed red, and she forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. She stretched out her snow-white little foot again, but this time, she stared at Chen Ye's hand warily and said in a stiff tone, "You...you continue! I'm just...just not used to your strange technique!"

She was tough on the outside, but she was suffering in the inside. Her little foot, which had been stretched out again, had its toes curled up slightly from nervousness, making her look extremely cute.

"Yes," Chen Ye replied respectfully, secretly pleased.

This little girl is indeed just a paper tiger.

He once again gathered sword intent at his fingertips, and this time, his technique was even more exquisite!
Bai Susu felt as if her toes had become a musical instrument in Chen Ye's hands, being manipulated at will...

Damn it... What's wrong? Something's not right.

Out of embarrassment, Bai Susu could only bite her lip tightly, her face turning red, and even a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Just as the two of them were putting in their best effort, the door creaked open.

"Master, Qingjun has brought you dinner."

Before seeing her, one could already hear the little girl's excited voice.

"I promised to cook delicious food for Master, so I'll cook delicious food for Master!"

Qingjun's face was flushed, and she was holding a bowl of soup in her hands. But as soon as she entered the room, she saw this strange scene.

Her master was squatting down solemnly, holding Sister Bai's snow-white feet in his hands!

"Clap!"

The soup in Qingjun's hand suddenly fell to the ground, splashing soup everywhere.

But Qingjun had no time to look at anything else; she just stared blankly at her master.

This...what's going on?

"Sister Bai? What...what are you doing?"

The little girl stared intently at Bai Susu again.

Is this woman, with her face flushed and eyes brimming with tears, looking so pitiful, really the same imposing and dignified Bai Jie?
"Qingjun, come out quickly..."

Zhiwei, who was following behind Qingjun, was also stunned. She grabbed Qingjun's clothes and quickly pulled her back.

But Bai Susu suddenly felt dizzy. Her embarrassing appearance had been seen clearly by these two little girls!
"what!"

She shrieked, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and swiftly pulled her foot back, kicking her little boots away in the process.

She tried hard to regain her usual haughty demeanor, but her flushed cheeks and rapid breathing made her appear fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

"What are you looking at!" she yelled fiercely at the two stunned girls. "Haven't you...never seen someone give a massage before?!"

The two little girls were still staring blankly at her.

Bai Susu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

What's wrong with them? Are they really that shocked...?

Chen Ye stood up at this moment, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face at just the right moment. He explained to his two disciples, "Master Bai has been traveling hard just now. I am using my family's traditional techniques to soothe her meridians. You two, don't be rude."

His words were meant for his apprentice, but also to give Bai Susu a way out.

Qingjun pouted, looking a little aggrieved: "Master... has a family-inherited technique, yet he won't massage Qingjun's feet..."

Hearing this, Bai Susu felt even more uneasy: "Oh? Could it be that there's no family-inherited technique at all?"

Zhiwei quickly tugged at Qingjun's sleeve: "Silly girl, Master used to massage Senior Sister before, didn't Qingjun refuse back then?"

She said that back when they were still in the shantytown, Chen Ye saw the two little girls shivering from the cold, so he personally boiled hot water and washed Zhiwei's feet.

However, Qingjun was very unhappy at that time...

Qingjun blinked, recalling the time she spent in the shantytown.

So, it really was me who didn't want to...

No, that's not right! I didn't refuse at all back then! It's all Master's fault for being biased!
The little girl said angrily, "Qingjun knows! Master massages Senior Sister and Sister Bai, but not Qingjun!"

Chen Ye felt completely overwhelmed, wondering what all this was all about.
He rubbed his temples, about to explain, when Bai Susu spoke first, clearing her throat and putting her hands behind her back:

"Little girl, your master is biased... Hmph, from now on, your master can only massage me!"

The two girls' reactions put Bai Susu's doubts to rest.

It seems Chen Ye really does have a family tradition of massage...

Upon hearing this, Qingjun immediately bristled. She stood up abruptly, like a little animal protecting its food, and retorted angrily, "No way! Master is Qingjun's master! Not yours!"

"Oh?" Bai Susu raised an eyebrow, her amber eyes carrying a hint of mockery. "What I say is mine, is mine. What, you have a problem with that?"

"You...you bad woman! You're being unreasonable!" Qingjun's face turned red with anger, but she couldn't say anything more hurtful.

The little girl could only look at Chen Ye with pleading eyes: "Master, say something!"

At this critical juncture, Chen Ye naturally had to support his disciple.

After all, Bai Susu wouldn't cause him trouble over such a pointless argument.

“Qingjun, what you said is not right…” Chen Ye said slowly.

"Master...Master?"

The little girl immediately wilted, looking like a frostbitten eggplant.

She sniffed through her delicate nose, her little mouth twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes but couldn't fall.

Chen Ye didn't expect the girl to react so strongly, and quickly added, "Master belongs not only to Qingjun, but also to Zhiwei."

"Waaah..." The little girl still looked at him with teary eyes.

Chen Ye had a sudden inspiration: "Master still wants to drink Qingjun's soup. Let Master see how good Qingjun's cooking is?"

Qingjun then remembered that she was there to deliver food. She looked at the mess on the ground with a wronged expression, glared angrily at Bai Susu, and then quickly ran back to the kitchen.

Bai Susu was initially a little angry because of Chen Ye's words, but seeing how aggrieved the little girl looked...

Not wanting to cause any more trouble, he turned to Chen Ye and said, his tone regaining its previous sharpness:

"Alright! Business is business! So how do you want to kill Li Guangzong? Actually... if you can kill Li Guangzong, it would be better if you did it. If I recklessly attack rogue cultivators, it will eventually cause some trouble... forget it, I suppose you are no match for Li Guangzong, so let the trouble be trouble."

Li Guangzong was somewhat famous and was a rogue cultivator under the jurisdiction of the Lingyin Sect.

As a true disciple of the Lingyin Sect, Bai Susu's reckless actions will inevitably bring trouble.

If it were just a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Medicine King Valley, that would be one thing. Bai Susu suspected that the other Foundation Establishment cultivator who intercepted her was actually from Medicine King Valley!
Moreover, the major sects of Yan already had mutual grudges.

Especially Medicine King Valley,

Both Lingyin Sect and Medicine King Valley are highly accomplished in alchemy and compete for the market with each other, which sometimes leads to friction.

Chen Ye said in a deep voice, "Li Guangzong is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he is also protected by a Foundation Establishment True Person from Medicine King Valley. Perhaps... he also has connections with other forces. We must finish this quickly, otherwise, we may attract his reinforcements and make things worse. I would like to ask Bai Zhenchuan to take action and kill that Foundation Establishment True Person, while I will deal with Li Guangzong! In this way, we can finish this quickly without troubling Bai Zhenchuan."

"Oh? You're quite confident. Are you really sure you can kill a Qi Refining Stage 8 cultivator without any interference?"

Bai Susu thought Chen Ye wanted her to kill them all by herself.

However, upon closer reflection, although she was strong, it was impossible for her to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator so quickly.

If this is delayed any longer, the news may leak out, and things could change drastically.

Chen Ye smiled slightly: "Master Bai, just wait and see."

Bai Susu frowned. To be honest, she didn't think Chen Ye was capable of killing Li Guangzong across borders.

Moreover, Li Guangzong is an alchemist with substantial assets, and may possess some kind of trump card.

In addition, Miaodan Garden was also Li Guangzong's stronghold, and his henchmen were also there.

But since Chen Ye said so, she couldn't be bothered to get involved, and only left one sentence:

"Since that's the case, then there's no time to lose. Tonight at midnight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it's the perfect night for murder. You wait here for my signal..."

After saying that, she swayed and transformed into a golden light, disappearing from the Herbal Pavilion.

Chen Ye stared at his hands and took a deep breath.

Li Guangzong, it's time to settle our past grievances...
