Chapter 534 Joy
The first thing you see is an extremely spacious cabin, with the faint sound of waves coming from all around.
Wei Xi knew the dimensions of this cloud boat and knew it would never have such a large cabin.
This place has clearly been transformed into a sea area by Master Du, and the master and his apprentice are standing on the exposed reefs.
"Still so extravagant..."
Wei Xi couldn't hear what Xian Hua said next, but he could tell that his master knew something about Master Du.
"Is this Wei Xi?" Master Du, now dressed in an elaborate Taoist robe, emerged from the sea. "He seems rather quiet."
Wei Xi: ...Should I praise your keen insight?
"You're getting more and more unruly as you get older. You insisted on checking on Wei Xi in the middle of the night. I brought him here, but I didn't hear a single serious word from him."
Master Du was quite indulgent towards Xian Hua, and laughed, "Your temper has become increasingly worse. I haven't seen you attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality all these years. Could it be that you've only grown more temperamental?"
"You haven't ascended to heaven yet, how can we, the younger generation, possibly surpass you? Let's get down to business. The children are still growing and need to go to bed early!"
“You were more fun when you were a kid,” Master Du said with a shake of his head. “I even looked after you for a few days back then. How come you’ve completely changed your temper now?”
Xian Hua sneered, "Good immortal master, you not only fed me wild fruits and raw meat, but if it weren't for immortal master Zhong Hong arriving in time, I would have been scalded to death by the bathwater you brought!"
"Zhong Hong always pulls this trick! How can you spoil a child like this?"
Xian Hua was too lazy to waste words, so he pulled Wei Xi out and said, "This is Wei Xi. He is now my personal disciple. He is very smart and knows when to advance and retreat. He is a hundred times better than your disciples who are stupid from eating raw meat!"
Wei Xi: There's no need to compare me to people like that!
With a wave of his hand, Master Du pushed Wei Xi in front of him by the waves.
However, what Wei Xi was worried about did not happen. Master Du simply stroked his chin and scrutinized her for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
They did not probe her Qi Palace, nor did they inquire about the rumors that had been circulating during this period.
"He's a good kid," Master Du said with satisfaction. "He's obviously not stupid. This is exactly the kind of disciple our Qingcheng Sect should have."
How old are you this year? Where are you from?
Seeing that Xian Hua did not object, Wei Xi respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Immortal Master, this disciple is fifteen years old this year and has been a disciple of the sect for almost five years. I am from Xizhou in the Northern Frontier."
"Fifteen years old? He looks quite robust, but why isn't he gaining weight? Could it be that the culinary skills at Piaoxiang Pavilion have declined?"
"My senior brothers and sisters have taken good care of me, and the food in the sect is also quite good. Perhaps I've grown taller recently, which is why I've become a little thin."
Xian Hua, who conjured up a chair for himself to sit down, said, "Where did you learn to only report good news and not bad news? In recent years, cultivators have become increasingly unruly. Even Gao Mingxian is too busy to handle everything, and a disrespectful attitude towards the sect has actually arisen."
“My apprentice was forced to take the blame and was imprisoned in Yin Yang Slope for two years. He finally got out, but he encountered a lot of unpleasant things. A few days ago, he was locked up and interrogated. All the little bit of flesh he had grown up was worn away.”
"To be honest, you lot are having a leisurely time traveling overseas, but you don't care about the lives of your disciples and followers, leaving us to be bullied by others... Alas! How tragic!"
Wei Xi was quite surprised to see Xian Hua complain like this for the first time. However, she also noticed the subtlety of her master's choice of words.
For example, Xian Hua emphasized that Wei Xi was imprisoned in Yin Yang Po, but made no mention of the reason why she was interrogated a few days earlier.
Although both are complaints, their words are quite suggestive.
After much thought, Wei Xi realized that Xian Hua was protecting him. When Wei Xi demonstrated his "True Self" to Xian Hua, he had instructed his disciple not to make a fuss. If the Bone Reef Sea were mentioned now, there was a risk that his beloved disciple might have some secrets that Master Du might discover.
Upon closer examination, Wei Xi was actually the victim in the matter of serving time in prison at Yin Yang Slope. Moreover, the fact that an innocent disciple was punished was more likely to arouse the indignation of the sect's seniors.
Having figured out the key to it, Wei Xi couldn't help but feel admiration—the ability to subtly guide the emotions of the person he was talking to was something worth learning!
The rumors circulating outside that Elder Xianhua has a strange temper and is unable to distinguish right from wrong are shameless fabrications! This keen observation alone is enough to show that Xianhua is a meticulous person.
Sure enough, Master Du's face turned bright red, and he shouted, "These bastards! Do they think our Qingcheng Sect is easy to bully? In terms of lineage, who can compare to us! Now they're all acting all high and mighty, really thinking they're something special!"
"If Bailu Pavilion hadn't opened up to the public back then, they probably wouldn't even know how to cultivate Qi! They had to rely on us to remedy the loss of their lineage, and they still have the nerve to bully the disciples of Qingcheng Sect!"
"Fine! I'm actually giving Yin Chuan a chance? Destroying Lin Chuan Pavilion is the real priority!"
Not content with that, Xian Hua kept adding fuel to the fire, causing Master Du to tremble all over, his vision to go black, and him unable to utter a single word.
Finally, Xian Hua said, "Don't talk about whether we knew sooner or later, it's not too late now! You should set off now, because before Wei Xi and I could even take a step, Linchuan Pavilion was gone."
Wei Xi: ……
Would the elderly Master Du really believe such an obvious provocation?
But what happened next shocked Wei Xi – Master Du, overcome with anger, rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Master! This...this..."
Xian Hua held back Wei Xi, who wanted to step forward to help, and whispered, "Don't move, or even I won't be able to protect you!"
Before Wei Xi could think any further, he saw Du Xianshi, whose body was half submerged in seawater, begin to convulse. Then, he suddenly straightened up and his entire demeanor changed abruptly.
Wei Xi tried to back away, but Xian Hua held her firmly down; clearly, everything that was happening was within his expectations.
"Master Du..."
"Don't call me Master Du, just call me Huanxin."
Upon hearing this sound, Wei Xi felt his hair stand on end.
Master Du! His voice had actually changed into... a woman's voice.
Xian Hua's face was extremely ugly, and she muttered under her breath, "What a stroke of luck."
Unexpectedly, "Master Du" had very sharp ears and immediately turned hostile, saying, "Little flower! What are you muttering about! Are you unhappy to see your older sister?"
Wei Xi felt her stomach churning; Du Xianshi's physique was quite robust, and such self-proclaimed status was practically testing her tolerance.
In any case, Wei Xi's assessment of Master Du has changed from calm, dignified, and reliable to seemingly insane.
"Did you bring this little girl? I don't take on apprentices. Go ask Zhong Hong, that old woman. She's the kindest person!"
Xian Hua sighed and then began praising Master Zhong Hong for his unparalleled beauty, which angered the self-proclaimed "Master Du," who unleashed his spiritual power and blasted up the surrounding seawater.
With quick reflexes, Xian Hua scooped Wei Xi up, and while dodging, she showered Zhong Hong with compliments in various ways.
"You did this on purpose!" Huanxin said angrily, "Sister, I'm not playing with you anymore!"
