Chapter 48 (Part 4)

She also wanted to change herself. The environment of the Cliff of Reflection, aside from the astral winds that could calm her down, could also temper her willpower.

Among Shizun’s five disciples, her willpower was the worst. She had never been able to control herself.

Facing the wall at the Cliff of Reflection for twenty years was both punishment and opportunity for her.

“Good. Linglong, you personally send her to the Cliff of Reflection. Little Feather, you’re not allowed to go. That place is too dangerous.”

Qingyang held onto his little disciple and did not allow him to follow.

The astral winds of the Cliff of Reflection were not something Foundation Establishment could handle. He was afraid his little disciple would be hurt.

“Senior Sister, don’t be afraid. We’ll wait for you to come back.”

Yu Yu took out a pile of food, telling her that when she missed everyone, she should eat something.

“No. I’m going there to be punished, not to enjoy myself. Since it’s a punishment, it should look like a punishment.”

Seeing Little Junior Brother continuously taking out food, Lingfeng hurriedly stopped him. At this moment, Lingfeng had truly grown up. If it had been before, she would have wished to accept all of it. How could she possibly have pushed it away?

“Senior Sister…”

Yu Yu had not expected Lingfeng, who had always loved eating, to refuse the food he gave her. For a moment, he froze there.

“Little Junior Brother, cultivate obediently. When Senior Sister comes back, I’ll be at Nascent Soul.”

Lingfeng hugged Little Junior Brother. Under the gazes of Shizun and her senior and junior brothers, she left Holy Sun Peak and headed to the Cliff of Reflection together with Linglong.

Halfway there, Linglong pulled her to a stop.

“Do you blame me?”

As her older brother, he had advocated punishing his younger sister. He was not like a good brother.

“No. I know Older Brother did it for my sake.”

Lingfeng looked at her dragon-phoenix twin brother, whose eyes had reddened, and she smiled.

“You’re about to reach Nascent Soul. The distance between us will only grow farther and farther. You cannot stay with me and protect me forever.”

She reached out and wiped the tears from his face. “Don’t blame yourself. I was wrong. I forgot the oath we made when Shizun first brought us back to the mountain and accepted us as disciples. I said I would ascend with you, but on the road of cultivation, I grew slack.”

“I’m sorry. I’m not a good brother. When you made mistakes, I shouldn’t have indulged you. If I had woken you up earlier, today’s matter would not have happened.”

“You really aren’t a good brother, but I’m not a good younger sister either. Let’s change together, all right?”

Lingfeng held her brother’s hand. At this moment, she truly regretted not working hard at cultivation in the past. Otherwise, if the siblings had advanced to Nascent Soul together, how nice would that have sounded?

“All right.”

In the end, Linglong watched with his own eyes as his younger sister walked step by step into the Cliff of Reflection. He stood outside and waved.

“Little Feng, Older Brother will wait for you.”

“All right.”

Lingfeng nodded at him, then turned and completely merged into the darkness.

“Shizun, why did you arrange for Third Junior Brother to send Junior Sister?”

Lingzhen could not understand. At a time like this, should Eldest Senior Brother not have been the one to send her? Aside from Shizun, the person Junior Sister feared most was Eldest Senior Brother.

“You wooden head. Little Feather, explain it to him.”

Qingyang looked at him and spoke with some disappointment.

“Yes, Shizun. Second Senior Brother, it is precisely because Senior Sister is being punished that Third Senior Brother had to send her! They are dragon-phoenix twins. Since childhood, they have been closer than other people. With Third Senior Brother sending Senior Sister, she will work even harder at cultivation in the Cliff of Reflection.”

Seeing that her dragon-phoenix twin brother was almost at Nascent Soul while she was only mid-stage Golden Core, and adding on Third Senior Brother speaking with a little more emotion, showing a little more reluctance, and the two of them opening their hearts and chatting a little more, Senior Sister would be successfully handled.

“Hahaha, Little Junior Brother is still the smart one. You saw Shizun’s intention right away.”

Linglong walked in from outside with a laugh. Where was there any reluctance on his face? It had all been an act.

“…Your acting was way too realistic.”

Lingzhen looked at Linglong, who seemed to have changed faces. His younger sister had gone to the Cliff of Reflection, yet instead of being sad, he was happy?

Was that reasonable?

“Is that reasonable?” Lingzhen asked aloud.

“Of course it’s reasonable. I finally got free of that girl. If she can cultivate properly, I’ll be especially happy.”

Linglong was so happy he waved his arms and stamped his feet. It could be seen that he really was happy!

“With a brother like you, Junior Sister has truly had eight lifetimes of bad luck. But well done.”

The happiness Lingzhen showed was no less than Linglong’s. The two senior and junior brothers faced each other and began dancing.

Yu Yu obediently sat on a chair and watched his senior brothers dance. Although he had long known their true thoughts, the fact that they did not leave Senior Sister even the slightest bit of face still made him rather speechless.

What exactly had Senior Sister done to the Senior Brothers? After she was punished to enter the Cliff of Reflection, not only was everyone not the slightest bit sad, they were all quite happy.

What about Eldest Senior Brother? Yu Yu turned his head to look at Lingji and discovered that his eyes were also carrying a smile.

There was no need to look at Shizun. He was definitely laughing. Not having to see this unlucky disciple for twenty years, of course he was happy.

Eh? On the entire mountain, was he the only one who had sincerely felt upset about Senior Sister’s punishment for half an hour?

The rest of his sadness had been completely destroyed by Shizun and his senior brothers.

“Disciple, don’t worry about your Senior Sister anymore. This is perfect for letting her cultivate properly. Although the Cliff of Reflection is bitter, it is a good place for cultivation and sword practice.”

Qingyang stroked his little disciple’s head and spoke. On the entire mountain, only his little disciple was the purest and kindest, and was sincerely worried for Lingfeng.

“Yes.”

Yu Yu also knew that although everyone was gloating at her misfortune, that place was indeed a good place for Lingfeng. What she lacked was not talent, but effort.

“Ying.”

Yuanyuan ran in from outside and lay on Yu Yu’s lap.

That noisy sister was not around. Wonderful.

Yuanyuan had also been made afraid by Lingfeng. She especially liked grabbing it to play. As an iron-eating beast, was there anything wrong with eating, sleeping, sleeping, and eating?

Not only was it caught by Lingfeng to keep her company while she played, she also forbade it from eating spiritual plants. Yuanyuan was so angry it grew angry fat, but it could not beat Lingfeng, so in the end, it could only be used as a toy.

Yu Yu’s hand paused as he stroked Yuanyuan. Just how hated was his Senior Sister on Holy Sun Peak? Even Yuanyuan could not stand her?

As for the matter of being left behind by her, Yu Yu had not taken it to heart, because his mind was that of an adult, which was why he felt it was nothing.

If it had been a real child instead, perhaps Yu Yu would have been even angrier than his shizun and senior brothers, because Senior Sister had been too irresponsible.

Children were the easiest to lose. Even on Blue Star, every year there were still many children who went missing and could not be found, destroying their parents and families. All of this was caused by human traffickers.

Yu Yu remembered a saying that was very reasonable: as long as there were no human traffickers, children would not be lost.

He quite agreed with that saying. So if Lingfeng really had lost a child because of her own love of playing, Yu Yu would have had no way to forgive that kind of behavior.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Yu suddenly felt that letting Senior Sister go face the wall at the Cliff of Reflection was quite good. It was also good to grind down her temperament.

Seeing that his little disciple was no longer tangled up over Lingfeng’s matter, Qingyang waved his hand and chased everyone away.

Everyone had their own residences. They should stop disturbing his peace and quiet here.

“Peace and quiet? I feel Shizun has a slightly mistaken understanding of himself.”

All the disciples were chased out, each of them gloomily looking at the great hall. Linglong especially did not believe the reason he had given. It sounded fake as soon as he heard it.

Their shizun actually said that everyone was disturbing his peace and quiet. That was even harder to believe than Lingfeng ascending tomorrow.

“Hahaha, let’s go back!”

Yu Yu laughed dryly a few times. Their shizun was probably hiding inside and secretly eating right now!

Thinking of all those delicious foods he had made for Qingyang, Yu Yu also suspected that Qingyang had chased people away because he wanted to eat alone.

In fact, his guess was right. Qingyang was indeed hiding in the great hall and secretly eating. He had even taken out a jar of wine, eating and drinking at the same time, looking utterly content.

“This is the life a person should live. Disciples and the like are all debt collectors. No, little disciple excluded. He’s far too considerate.”

Looking at the delicious food and fine wine, Qingyang could not go against his conscience and say anything bad about his little disciple. Every time he made a request, Yu Yu helped him make it.

Among all his disciples, his little disciple was the most obedient and also the best-behaved one.

After parting from his senior brothers, Yu Yu and Yuanyuan jogged back to Bamboo Courtyard.

“Yuanyuan, let’s race and see who gets back to the bamboo house first.”

After Yu Yu finished speaking, he started running. Yuanyuan froze for a moment, then immediately chased after him.

A race between two legs and four legs. One did not even need to think to know who would win.

Even after losing, Yu Yu was not annoyed. He picked up a small hoe and went to dig tender bamboo shoots for Yuanyuan.

“Ying.”

Here, here! Yuanyuan found a patch of tender bamboo shoots and patted the shoots toward Yu Yu. It wanted to eat these.

“All right, don’t rush. I’ll dig them for you right away.”

Yu Yu bent down and began digging up the bamboo shoots.

This patch of spiritual bamboo had already been expanded by Yu Yu to two mu. Many spiritual bamboo shoots could be produced inside every day, enough for Yuanyuan to eat.

Yuanyuan’s happiest thing every day was that it had an entire spiritual bamboo forest. Inside, there were not only delicious bamboo leaves and bamboo, but even more delicious tender bamboo shoots.

Occasionally, Yu Yu would also come dig some bamboo shoots to bring back and cook, and they were very well liked by everyone.

Seeing Yu Yu digging bamboo shoots, Yuanyuan did not rest either. Instead, it used its sharp claws to help him dig together.
