Chapter 70: Senior Brother is raising birds
Tick tick tick—
There was a constant drizzle outside the window, beating on the eaves. The budgerigar stood in front of the window sill, looking into the distance with its wise eyes, seemingly worried about how to fly back to its owner.
Ye Anping looked at it, raised his hand, and moved his temples, still thinking about the issues between junior sister and Si Xuanji. By now, Si Xuanji was almost there.
Then he and his junior sister would probably not be able to avoid this matter. He and his junior sister meeting Si Xuanji could potentially shift the position of the “protagonist” from Feng Yudie’s hands, and the likelihood was quite high. However, let’s think differently.
Si Xuanji herself was a legendary character. In the middle of the game, there was a card game similar to Gwent. The “Si Xuanji” in it was an ultra-rare golden card.
The acquaintance with Si Xuanji was a great opportunity for Feng Yudie. This opportunity was no worse than “Xuan Yin Jue”.
Moreover, this opportunity, unlike those magic weapons and techniques, could be obtained repeatedly. Wasn’t it equivalent to getting a big opportunity for him and his junior sister to meet Si Xuanji?
“It’s raining!! It’s raining!! There’s no going back!! There’s no going back!!” screamed the budgerigar, jumping onto Ye Anping’s belly, seemingly wanting him to help take it back to its owner.
Ye Anping reached out and gently touched the parrot’s crest and said, “Who told you to run around? Your master must be worried.”
“You are so polite!! You are so polite!!” the parrot rubbed his fingers, seeming to express joy, although the words and tone sounded like curses.
Ye Anping sighed, “What a unique little guy.”
“Thank you for the compliment!! Thank you for the compliment!!”
Ye Anping let out a long breath, and when he had nothing to do, he took a piece of non-removing ointment from the table, kneaded it into small balls using his spiritual energy control, and brought it to the parrot’s mouth, and fed it to eat.
At noon, Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo came over to deliver another meal, but before they entered the house, the budgerigar flew out of the window.
It seemed that Si Xuanji didn’t want Xiao Yunluo to know that she was watching, so she ordered the parrot back. However, he didn’t know if Si Xuanji did it on purpose or if the parrot took advantage of him because he fed it.
Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo left, and the parrot flew back, bringing back a dozen spirit stones for him as if paying him “feeding fees.”
Ye Anping had no choice but to support the bird since he had already received the breeding fee. Fortunately, it was just a parrot, it didn’t stink, and it was easy to care for.
But then again, since Si Xuanji was willing to let him help her raise this budgerigar, it meant that she must be very fond of him.
Why?
Did she think he was handsome?
Ye Anping thought that it was possible.
…
At sunset, Xiao Yunluo came to the Xuanxing Sect’s Sutra Collection Pavilion. It was a giant attic that was a hundred stories high, like a golden hoop, standing on the northernmost mountain of Xuanxing Sect.
This was also the most strictly guarded place in Xuanxing Sect. Even if she, a young lady, came there, she could not directly swipe her face to get in. She had to show her identity card and register.
Before, she heard Pei Lianxue talking about the cultivation methods, such as feeding poison and being beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen… The more she listened, the more frightened she became, but she also wanted to give it a try.
Because Pei Lianxue spoke in general terms and said that her senior brother informed her cultivation method, therefore, when she came to the Sutra Pavilion, she wanted to find Mr. Qi and ask him about those cultivation methods.
After registering at the door, Xiao Yunluo stepped on the flying sword and entered the interior of the Scripture Pavilion, flying to a separate door on the top floor.
Bang bang—
“Mr. Qi, I am Xiao Yunluo.”
“Please come in.”
Entering the house, the fragrance of ink hit her face instantly.
Mr. Qi was holding an ink pen and was writing something. Xiao Yunluo didn’t dare to disturb him, so she had to stand aside and wait. It wasn’t until Mr. Qi put down the pen in his hand that she said, “Mr. Qi, I want to ask you about cultivation.”
“What’s wrong with cultivation?” Mr. Qi paused for a moment, looked up at her, and said, “What’s wrong with cultivation?”
“I heard that… there is a method of cultivation that involves… being beaten all the time, taking poison, etc.? Is it true?”
“Being beaten? Taking poison?”
Mr. Qi was confused by her question but suddenly thought that this girl seemed to be very close to a girl named Pei Lianxue recently, and he understood what she wanted to ask.
“There is indeed such a method of cultivation. It was a method used by cultivators thousands of years ago but was later gradually abandoned.”
“Then I…”
“You cannot.”
“Why?” Xiao Yunluo raised her eyebrows and asked hurriedly, “If Mr. Qi is worried that I won’t be able to resist, you can rest assured…”
Qi Baishi shook his head and interrupted, “Let’s not mention whether you can endure it. That kind of cultivation method requires a one-on-one master-disciple relationship.”
“What’s the meaning?”
“It means that the master must understand every aspect of the disciple, even better than the disciple does. The meridians, constitution, and everything must be very clear. Otherwise, it will easily lead to the destruction of the meridians, making the disciple a useless person.”
“Then you can’t find someone…”
“Now, in Xuanxing Sect, the only one who knows the way of ascetic cultivation is the sect leader, but…”
Mr. Qi did not say the second half of the sentence, How could the sect master have the heart to let an only daughter like you go through such harsh training?
After hearing these words, Xiao Yunluo suddenly stopped talking. She was quite afraid of her mother, and now she had lost her sword…
“Don’t you know, Mr. Qi?”
“Well, I know, but I haven’t taught anyone that much, so I can’t try it on a young lady like you.” Mr. Qi shrugged and said, “Also, that Pei Yatou is a very special person. Previously, Elder Wang said that the master of the Hundred Lotus Sect asked her to practice hard together with the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, but I don’t think so. If you have time, you can get to know the young master Ye.”
“…”
Mr Qi stroked his beard and said, “Although I have never met that boy, Ye, Elder Wang has always praised him in front of me before.”
“Praise him!”
“Praise him for giving up hundreds of spiritual stones for free.” Mr. Qi laughed happily and said, “That boy is young, but he is quite clever. Making friends with him won’t be bad for you.”
“Okay… disciple knows.”
Xiao Yunluo bowed her hands and left the Sutra Pavilion.
