Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 172 Master, Caught on the Spot! (out)

Unbeknownst to Chen Ye, a storm was quietly brewing.

"Creak—" The door was gently pushed open by the man.

In an instant,
The sunset clouds surged in behind the man, bathing the dimly lit little house in a golden glow.

His shadow stretched out, finally landing on the girl's slender legs, body, and even her delicate face.

"Bang... bang..."

With a pounding heart, the figure in the girl's pupils drew closer.

Her small hands gripped the handrail tightly, as if she wanted to back away, but due to her paralysis, she could not move.

Do I look that scary?

Seeing the frail girl in the wheelchair, they reacted as if they were startled birds.

Chen Ye subconsciously touched his face, feeling a pang of self-doubt.

The way Lin Jin looked at him was exactly the same way Qing Jun looked at Old Taoist Zhang...

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to eat you. I'm here to treat your leg."

Chen Ye tried to keep his tone gentle.

He slowly stepped forward, squatted down beside the wheelchair, and opened his palm in front of the girl.

In the palm of his hand, a wisp of vibrant blue spiritual energy danced gently, like a docile firefly.

The blue light shone into Lin Jin's empty, dark eyes.

It's like a pebble with a faint glow being thrown into a stagnant pool.

Chen Ye looked at the little girl with a smile, the spiritual light in his palm constantly changing into various shapes, sometimes small animals, sometimes some kind of food.

snort!
She's just a little girl.

He, Chen Ye, specializes in dealing with troubled girls!

Lin has been resting at home all day, so he probably hasn't seen many of these novel things from the outside world.

Chen Ye was full of confidence.

However, no matter how many tricks Chen Ye used, the stagnant water in the girl's eyes did not reflect even the slightest ripple.

Instead, his jaw started to chatter, and he grew increasingly terrified.

Chen Ye's smile froze slightly.

He realized that he seemed to have... made a mistake.

This girl is more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

The usual tricks used to fool children had no effect on her.

Since he couldn't be coaxed... Chen Ye decided to stop pretending.

He can't just sit here idly trying to appease her.

Moreover, he strongly suspected that the girl's condition was not merely due to a mental illness, but more likely because the "cold flame" lurking within her was constantly affecting her mind!

With this in mind, Chen Ye no longer hesitated.

He flipped his hand, extinguishing the spiritual flame, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed her cold, thin wrist tightly in his palm once more.

Lin Jin's pupils contracted, a sign of fear of being violated.

She tried to struggle, but her paralyzed body and numb nerves prevented her from making any effective resistance. She was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!
"really……"

This exploration was far more detailed than the last one.

After all, last time we had to consider the Lin family's feelings and couldn't be too forceful.

But this time, Chen Ye examined it carefully.

Without the slightest hesitation, his warm, large hand slowly moved upwards along the girl's cool, slender wrist.

Spiritual energy, like silk threads, probed into her meridians.

As you ascend, you see her arms, as delicate as carved white jade.

Her skin was so delicate that not a single flaw could be seen, yet it had an almost transparent pallor due to a long illness, and a light touch would leave a red mark.

"Waaah—" the girl sobbed.

Ignoring everything else, Chen Ye's fingertips traced across her elbow and reached her shoulder.

Then, apply the touch to her delicate collarbone.

This is the Quepen acupoint, where the three Yang meridians of the hand converge, and it best reflects the strength and weakness of the Qi in the internal organs.

The girl's skin was smooth and soft.

A fragile life force throbs faintly beneath this skin.

Ultimately, it reached Chen Ye's fingertips.

He could clearly feel that this delicate body possessed the purest beauty of a young girl.

Chen Ye's gaze shifted slightly.

It slides down along the graceful curve of the collarbone.

Beneath those simple, coarse cloth clothes, one could vaguely see the small outline of a young girl, like a flower bud about to bloom...

"Pink Skull..."

Chen Ye silently recited a phrase from a Buddhist scripture from his previous life.

After a thorough examination, he confirmed that there was indeed a mysterious spiritual fire within Lin Jin's body.

This is what is known as cold flame!

However, the Cold Flame was almost fused with Lin Jin's life force and soul. To forcibly strip it away would be tantamount to killing her and taking her soul—even if she were killed, the Cold Flame would probably be annihilated as well.

Fortunately.

Although the cold flame cannot be taken away, there are still ways to control it, thereby reducing its side effects.

Chen Ye's eyes gleamed with spiritual light, and the spiritual power of the Evergreen Skill swirled around his fingertips.

It transformed into a small, jade-green dagger, about an inch long, formed from spiritual energy!

It is one of the three spirit plant techniques that break through the limits, the Swift Blade!

This technique was originally a wonderful method for removing lesions from spiritual plants, but after its limitations were broken, it can also be used on humans to remove the root of the disease and cut off evil spirits!

Chen Ye planned to use the Swift Blade to sever the stagnant cold energy in Lin Jin's leg meridians.

However, as long as the cold flame has not been completely refined by Lin Jin.

There will always be a continuous flow of cold and damp energy accumulating in the body!

In other words, the scalpel can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

"breathe--"

The girl's breathing was slightly rapid, her eyelashes were wet with water droplets, and her knuckles were white.

Only after Chen Ye stopped did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Her delicate skin was covered in goosebumps.

My chest heaved uncontrollably, and I felt like vomiting.

but……

The next moment, the man reached out again and, without allowing any argument, untied the girl's light blue dress:

"Don't misunderstand, I'm treating you... It's a last resort. If I try to persuade you gently, you probably still won't listen to me... You'll understand after you're cured."

As the last layer of fabric was removed.

A pair of legs so perfect they seemed otherworldly were laid bare before Chen Ye's eyes.

It is like a work of art carved from the finest mutton fat jade.

Her skin was fair and delicate; her figure was graceful and slender.

Beneath her fair skin, faint blue veins could be seen, like the naturally formed cracks on the finest porcelain.

"Strange, muscles should atrophy from not exercising for a long time... No, no, no, what am I thinking? This is the cultivation world. Lin Jin has the Cold Flame in his body. Although there is a stagnation of Yin and Cold Qi, it is accompanied by abundant spiritual power."

Chen Ye was completely absorbed in the Swift Blade Technique, with not a single romantic thought in his mind.

This is because, from his perspective, those beautiful legs were also covered with a dense network of energy channels.

But the girl in the wheelchair, who looked as exquisite as a puppet, suddenly trembled.

Tears streamed down her sickly, pale face.

Humiliation, endless humiliation!

Like a mollusk stripped of its shell, it was nakedly exposed to the gaze and...touch of a strange man.

Unfortunately, she had no power to resist, not even to cry for help, and could only be played with like a puppet.

How could the heartless Chen Ye possibly understand Lin Jin's feelings?

He was already completely absorbed in the treatment, and he moved his large hands inch by inch upwards from her calves.

He wasn't heartless, nor was he insensitive. It was just that, in his eyes, the pair of beautiful legs before him, enough to drive any man mad, had now transformed into the most complex meridian diagram.

Those meridians, blocked by the cold, damp energy, were like riverbeds filled with silt.

His task was to use the Swift-Clearing Blade, which was formed from the spiritual power of the Evergreen Technique, to clear these meridians one by one!
This process requires extreme focus.

If not handled carefully, it could damage the girl's already fragile meridians, causing permanent harm.

Chen Ye held his breath and focused intently; the jade-green dagger at his fingertips began to move.

It traces the blocked meridians with perfect precision, slowly gliding through them.

"laugh--"

A very faint sound came from behind.

Although the energy channels were severed, this chilling energy remained tightly intertwined with the flesh and blood.

It must be forced out with force!

Chen Ye frowned, carefully considering the force, and then, with his five fingers together, he precisely pinched the congested acupoint like an iron clamp.

"Woo!"

Finally, a suppressed sob escaped from the girl's tightly clenched lips.

The fragile skin, already battered and bruised, instantly developed clear red fingerprints.

Immediately, this chilling aura was also squeezed out from the flesh and blood.

"Yes, just cut first and then squeeze..."

Chen Ye felt a sense of certainty; he knew he had taken the right approach!

Without hesitation, he immediately followed suit.

One slash after another, one palm strike after another.

An hour later.

On the wheelchair, those once beautiful legs, like works of art, were now covered in bruises and purple marks, with crisscrossing red finger marks.

"call……"

Chen Ye let out a long breath, withdrew his spiritual power, and smiled with relief.

Only then did he emerge from the immersive state of unleashing the Swift Blade Technique.

Hum hum……

This little girl must be incredibly grateful to herself!

Long ago, when he was with his two disciples, Chen Ye knew that no matter how much he talked, it was not as good as taking action!

Therefore, when Chen Ye saw that Lin Jin was unyielding, he gave up trying to persuade her with words and instead proved himself with practical actions!
"Okay, how do you feel? Try moving around a bit?"

Chen Ye clapped his hands and looked at the little girl with a smile.

But strangely, for some reason, the girl's face was covered in tears, and her eyes were red from crying.

My leg is healed, but I'm still unhappy?
That's hard to understand... Does it mean that after your leg is healed, you can't just stay at home all the time?
Chen Ye was secretly puzzled. He had gone to great lengths to finally cure her chronic illness that had plagued her for many years. Even if she wasn't extremely grateful, he should still be grateful.

At the very least, shouldn't they understand their own good intentions?
“Bad…bad guy!”

The girl clutched her clothes tightly in grief and anger, her eyes filled with despair, and suddenly lifted her right leg, which had been numb all along.

With a death-defying rage, she kicked Chen Ye in the face without any mercy!

At the same time, it seemed as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.

She closed her eyes, turned her head away, and waited for the man's overwhelming rage.

"Uh……"

Chen Ye covered his face, which was throbbing from being stepped on, in disbelief.

This...this is the second time his face has been stepped on, right?

The last time it was Bai Susu, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, which was understandable.

But this time, it was an ordinary little girl with no cultivation!

The cool, soft touch and the faint sweet scent still lingered on his cheeks.

It was a small, delicate foot, as if carved from white jade.

Her ankles were slender, her arches were beautifully curved, and her five tiny toes, like the fullest pearls, were slightly curled up, showing a hint of tension.

But this seemingly harmless little foot was firmly imprinted on the face of this Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator!

What a shame!
Chen Ye was furious!
However, upon seeing the little girl with her eyes tightly closed and tears still clinging to her eyelashes, he could only sigh helplessly.

It seems... this little girl hasn't realized that her leg has actually healed.

"Sister Qiongyu, where did Master go?!"

Suddenly, the sound of a little girl panting came from outside the door.
"We've been searching all day and still can't find it! That wretched master! Senior sister, maybe..."

Qingjun's voice was sly and mischievous.
But Zhiwei was suddenly startled: "No! There are other people here..."

"All right……"

Qingjun sighed weakly.

"Don't rush, come and rest at my house first. It's already dark, and Deacon Chen should be heading home soon."

At that moment, Lin Qiongyu's voice came again.

Varied……

what's the situation?
Chen Ye felt a chill run down his spine, and he couldn't help but glance at his surroundings.

The beautiful yet fragile girl looked as if she had been bullied to the extreme.

Her long dress had slipped down to her ankles, and she lay sprawled on the wheelchair, her legs covered in ambiguous red marks, and her face streaked with tears.

He was still holding a small, white foot in his hand...

If outsiders were to see this scene, it would be like mud falling into your crotch—even if it wasn't excrement, it would still look like excrement!
What's worse, those two outside aren't strangers!
Those are his two precious disciples!

And Lin Jin's older sister, Lin Qiongyu!
Chen Ye felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and he hurriedly helped Lin Jin put on her dress.

He whispered, "Cheer up! Don't let them misunderstand, otherwise... everything will be over!"

Seeing that Lin Jin remained silent, her eyes tightly closed, looking ashamed and indignant as if she wanted to die.

Chen Ye panicked immediately. Of course, it was him who was doomed, not Lin Jin!

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Your sister is right outside!"

In that case, Lin Jin would be just as embarrassed as him, right?

However, to Lin Jin, these words were nothing short of the most vicious threat!
elder sister……

He actually used his sister to threaten him!

This is a devil in human skin!
She gave a muffled reply, wiped away her tears, and resumed her expressionless demeanor.

"Good boy." Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Squeak-"

It's too late, but it's soon.

Just as Chen Ye finished arranging everything, the already shaky wooden door was pushed open without any politeness by a small hand!

Three figures appeared at the doorway.

Leading the way was the silver-haired little girl with pigtails and a puffed-up face.

Behind her was a girl with dark hair, dressed in a white dress, with a cool and aloof expression.

And Lin Qiongyu, who was softly calling for her younger sister:

"My sister is back today...?"

Their gazes passed over the dimly lit room and landed on Chen Ye, who was sitting upright.

The air seemed to freeze.

Lin Qiongyu's pupils suddenly contracted.
She glanced at her sister, who sat expressionlessly in a wheelchair, then at Chen Ye, who sat high above her in the hall, and couldn't believe it:

"Senior Chen, what are you doing here?"

"Master?"

Qingjun's originally puffed-up face instantly froze, her dark phoenix eyes widened little by little, and her little mouth opened slightly, big enough to fit a whole egg.

"Master?"

Zhiwei's voice was very soft, like a dream.

Who is this little girl?!
