Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

However... the elder who showed him three parts of filial piety in one go happened to use a jade device with those three elements.

Who would have thought that beneath that serious exterior lies a fiery personality who is exceptionally gentle with her elders and actively shows them filial piety!

After the two met, Chu Mingkong noticed that Si Chunhua's gaze kept falling on him, which further confirmed Chu Mingkong's guess.

Chu Mingkong pretended not to know and bowed:

"Elder Si, you should be aware of what I just said to Senior Sister Qu. I hope you will take care of me and help me conceal my whereabouts."

The woman nodded. In front of the sect's benefactor, she naturally wouldn't be so serious anymore. However, once she shed that elder's airs, this woman was essentially a traditional woman who was exceptionally well-behaved in all aspects. She walked with her head held high and her posture was exceptionally measured and graceful, but she wouldn't talk or laugh casually.

—Even though she uses three cows at once, which is extremely frequent.

“Of course,” she said. “You two would like to learn more about Buddhism, would you? Please come inside and have a seat.”

After Chu Mingkong and Zuo Qiuchi went in together, the feeling became even clearer. He could even sense where she was using the jade dildo.

"This matter dates back to the generation of my founding ancestor. It's not a big deal. My founding ancestor was a secular woman who practiced Buddhism while still keeping her hair. Under her influence, after the Xiaoxiang Qin Academy was established, it still maintained the tradition of worshipping Buddha and had strict precepts. The relics suppressed in the Forbidden Pavilion in the Sky were left by my founding ancestor. Under the influence of this relic, the disciples in my sect can concentrate on their practice and meditation without any distractions."

However, a traitor from my sect previously sneaked into the forbidden pavilion, touched the relic, loosened the seal, and even spread the word about its existence, attracting the covetous eyes of Buddhist monks today.

Si Chunhua's account was rather brief, only mentioning the specific connections between their ancestor and Buddhism, the origin of the relics, and the occurrence of demonic possession, without going into too much detail.

Zuo Qiuchi guessed that she was hiding some things she knew, but that was understandable. Entering a sect to cultivate was equivalent to taking the sect as one's home. She and Chu Mingkong were benefactors of Xiaoxiang Qin Academy, but not family members. There was no reason for her to reveal her family's dirty laundry.

It's perfectly normal to treat your benefactors with great courtesy and repay their kindness, rather than revealing your family's dirty laundry to others.

"What's the story behind the disciple's demonic possession?" Chu Mingkong was particularly concerned about this.

Si Chunhua shook her head, her face showing worry and sorrow, and frowned as she said:

"I don't know about this matter. I don't know if it's related to our sect's Buddhist teachings. I suspect it's being manipulated by those monks, but if that's the case, it means there's a major hidden danger in our sect's teachings at their very foundation... At this point, we may have to wait until those demon-possessed disciples come to their senses and ask them before we can find out the truth."

Chu Mingkong figured he didn't have the spare capacity to help with this kind of thing.

Unable to hear any gossip, Zuo Qiuchi grew tired of staying there and said:

"I'm going to take a walk around the area and clean up the traces we left when we attacked outside the sect."

Seeing his master leave, Chu Mingkong felt this was an opportunity to try promoting his jade dildo. If that didn't work, he would have to entrust Qingse of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to sell it on his behalf.

Chu Mingkong put on a puzzled expression and said:

"There's something I don't quite understand. Why would Elder Si give me the sect token? Could it be that he foresaw my connection with Xiaoxiang Qin Academy and made the connection beforehand?"

“Uh…” A hint of unease flashed across the stern woman’s face before she explained, “Hearing of Your Highness’s deeds in the Heavenly Pole Empire, I felt sorry for the young hero’s unfortunate fate and gave him an elder’s token, thinking that maybe one day I could help Your Highness. I never expected that Your Highness would help me instead, and that Your Highness would be affected by this ‘Child Worshipping Buddha’ conversion spell.”

"It's alright, Elder Si, there's no need to address me as Your Highness. Just call me Mingkong. It's too formal."

After Chu Mingkong finished speaking, he sighed with regret. Judging from the elder's reaction, he knew that the elder was not willing to talk about those things openly. He could only ask the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to sell them.

As he was lost in thought and sighing, Si Chunhua said:

“Then I will call Your Highness Mingkong. If you don’t feel awkward, you don’t need to call me that. Just call me whatever you’re used to… Mingkong, your clothes don’t fit quite right. I know a little needlework. How about I help you adjust them?”

Chu Mingkong nodded, and shamelessly took off his clothes and handed them to her. Si Chunhua secretly glanced at his swaying member, and gasped in shock.

I thought it was an enlarged version, but it really is the same size, and it even looks better than the sculpted one...

------------

Before long, the seal was completed, and the spiritual energy fluctuations of the several elder immortal peaks subsided.

"Elder Si, please convey our gratitude to His Highness the Crown Prince of Xiling." Similar greetings came from several elder peaks, the voices filled with strong gratitude.

However, Chu Mingkong and Zuo Qiuchi both looked constipated – because these elders hadn't controlled their volume; they probably wanted the entire sect to know who the benefactor of this incident was, so their voices were exceptionally loud.

It even echoed among the mountain peaks...

Zuo Qiuchi: "..."

Chu Mingkong: "..."

Thank you so much!

The summit of the main campus.

On her way here, Qu Wuyue had been thinking about how to explain what happened while concealing the existence of Chu Mingkong and his master, including how those monks overcame their difficulties.

As soon as they met, that powerful voice rang out from Elder Peak, announcing Chu Mingkong's presence to the entire sect.

Alright, all that thinking was for nothing!

Surrounded by icy aura, Xiao Yunhan spoke directly:

"Take me to see my brother."

Chapter 137 Sister, why are you blushing?

Qu Wuyue looked embarrassed and felt awkward for a moment.

Chu Mingkong doesn't want to see Xiao Yunhan yet, but Xiao Yunhan is an ally of the sect. If Chu Mingkong doesn't help, it's fine, but Qu Wuyue is naturally biased towards Xiao Yunhan. Now, he's caught in the middle.

“Your elder just said he’s here,” Xiao Yunhan said. She glanced at the battle marks on the main courtyard square and pointed out, “There’s the aura of a Sword Immortal there, a heavy sword. His master came along too.”

This wasn't a question, it was a statement. She meant for Qu Wuyue to stop being so ambiguous and conflicted, and to just say what she wanted to say. But Qu Wuyue's attitude was strange; it was as if she didn't want me to know Chu Mingkong was here.

"Or is something wrong with him?"

Qu Wuyue, realizing she couldn't hide it any longer, had to confess. However, she still kindly helped Chu Mingkong conceal his thought that "it was he who requested not to see Xiao Yunhan," and tactfully said:

"His Highness was unfortunately affected by the conversion spell of the monk Fadu. He was afraid that Senior Sister Xiao would worry, so he asked me to keep it a secret."

"Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's just that it's not convenient for His Highness to see people. Perhaps His Highness is afraid of losing face."

“That’s not a problem. Take me to see him.”

Having said all she could say for Chu Mingkong, Qu Wuyue nodded and headed towards Elder Peak of the Punishment Hall.

"Then please come with me, Senior Sister Xiao."

------------

Chu Mingkong was furious, but there was nothing he could do. What could he say?

Elder Si Chunhua thought to herself, "What a pity." Just now, she was using her spiritual power to manipulate objects, controlling needles, thread, and scissors to help Chu Mingkong fix his clothes a little too small. At her level of cultivation, such use of spiritual power was child's play, and she could have easily distracted herself with other things.

She had just suggested that while the clothes were still being repaired, she should use a towel soaked in some calming herbs to wipe Chu Mingkong's body, cleaning him and perhaps using the herbs to prevent the spell from affecting his mind.

The herbs had almost no effect on Chu Mingkong, as the main negative effects of the spell had been neutralized by the extreme yang energy. However, sitting there in someone else's room with nothing to talk about only added to the awkwardness. Asking Aunt Si Chunhua to help him wipe his body was a way to distract him.

Si Chunhua wiped his body in a manner similar to wiping a child after a bath, without touching him or touching him inappropriately. However, Chu Mingkong could still sense her gaze lingering on his penis from her meticulous care.

If it weren't for the other elders' words of thanks, Chu Mingkong felt that Si Chunhua would have helped him wipe it several more times. As they wiped it, their relationship improved, and maybe they wouldn't need Qingse as a middleman anymore? In the future, if he drew a Niu Niu, he could send it directly to Xiaoxiang Qin Academy.

"The clothes have been altered. Your Highness, please take a look and see if they suit you?"

Si Chunhua unfolded the clothes and held them up in front of Chu Mingkong to compare them; the size was just right.

"It's very good. I've seen many people use spiritual power for combat, but it's rare to see it used for such everyday matters. I didn't expect the craftsmanship to be so good. Thank you, Elder Si."

"Your Highness, didn't we just agree that we don't need to be so formal? Here, let me help you put on your clothes."

Si Chunhua gently lifted Chu Mingkong's arm and carefully helped him put on his clothes. It felt quite strange, like going back to her childhood.

Appearance does have a significant impact on others. Even though Si Chunhua knew that Chu Mingkong was already an adult and had extraordinary ruthlessness, she would still unconsciously treat him like a little boy in his current state, wanting to follow him around and watch over him while he ate and dressed.

Si Chunhua wanted to get a little closer to Chu Mingkong in terms of how she addressed him, but unfortunately Xiao Yunhan was about to arrive, so she had to give up for the time being.

After waiting for a short while outside the room, Zuo Qiuchi returned from elsewhere. Presumably feeling embarrassed that Xiao Yunhan would see her dressed as a married woman, Zuo Qiuchi changed back into her usual clothes.

"Hey, how come the clothes fit you now? The ones you wore before were fine, but they're a little big now, so you can still wear them when you grow taller." Zuo Qiuchi came over and patted Chu Mingkong on the head.

What the hell do you mean by growing taller? Next time he grows taller, he'll probably just go back to his normal size. Do you really think I'm growing back little by little?

"You too, your disguise was fine just now, why did you change back?" Chu Mingkong complained, but more than that, he felt sorry for you.

He hadn't had enough of Zuo Qiuchi's beautiful lady-like outfit yet. If this lazy dog ​​were to forget about dressing up again later, it would truly become a limited-time, unavailable skin.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped significantly, and the clouds and mist swirling around the mountains turned into sparse snowflakes that fell down.

Xiao Yunhan has arrived.

A snow-haired woman with an icy expression walked over, her gaze first falling on the familiar Zuo Qiuchi, but she didn't linger for long. Then she ignored Si Chunhua and the others, searching for Chu Mingkong.

But she couldn't find him; there wasn't a tall young man in her field of vision, and she subconsciously ignored the short man's figure.

"Where is Mingkong? Why isn't he coming out to see me?" she said.

Zuo Qiuchi said disdainfully, "Are you blind?"

The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and Xiao Yunhan frowned. She still remembered the time when Zuo Qiuchi showed off a bellyband. Now that Chu Mingkong was nowhere to be seen, and Zuo Qiuchi was inexplicably mocking her, it was hard for her not to feel that Zuo Qiuchi was provoking her.

"What do you mean?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yunhan had already conjured a three-foot-long frost sword in his hand. This was an old rival; they had drawn their swords against each other before when they disagreed in Xiling.

Although Zuo Qiuchi wanted to communicate calmly, since the other party had already drawn their sword, she had no reason to back down and give in. She also took out the Extinction Heavy Sword and stood beside them.

"Literally, does that mean your eyes have also been frozen by your own icy spiritual energy? Chu Mingkong is standing right here, and you're asking me where he is?!"

Xiao Yunhan was taken aback, and her gaze shifted downwards, only then noticing the boy next to Zuo Qiuchi.

His height didn't match, but his appearance gradually overlapped with that of his younger brother from Xiling's memories.

Chu Mingkong had a deep look on his face, unable to hide his inner pain. These two could really argue every time they met, but there was a strange sense of nostalgia about them.

From this perspective, where everyone has to look up to him, everything seems to have returned to his carefree childhood. Although his mother doesn't show him much affection, he is immersed in the novel Five Elements cultivation all day long. When he gets tired of cultivation, he can go fight monsters. He doesn't have to worry about anything.

Back then, he watched his master, who had taken him around, argue with his older sister. Occasionally, he would act as a peacemaker to ease the tension. Now, the two of them still argue whenever they meet, a familiar feeling.

However, there are still differences. Back then, Zuo Qiuchi's buttocks were already fully developed and rounded, but her breasts weren't as big as they are now. Xiao Yunhan was still called Chu Yunhan back then, and she hadn't yet become the White-Haired Sword Immortal.

With a heart full of emotions, Chu Mingkong exchanged a few glances with Xiao Yunhan. Suddenly, he noticed... Xiao Yunhan's face flushed slightly, but the blush in the snow was fleeting and she quickly returned to normal.

“Come here to me,” she demanded forcefully.
