Chapter 2 (2/2)

Li Changshou emitted a cooling stream of air and touched Lan Ling’e’s life source gently.

‘Yes. The soul is perfectly compatible with the body. There is nothing inconsistent in her body. It is very unlikely that she had been possessed. She seems to be pretty talented and has a close affinity with the Water and Wood Elements.’

However, Li Changshou did not know how her personality was.

Lan Ling’e’s personality should have been developed at this age. Li Changshou merely hoped that she wasn’t someone who would cause trouble everywhere.

However, Li Changshou could tell from her looks that she would become a beautiful woman when she grew up. Since ancient times, beautiful women had been the reasons for war. This was a potential reason for conflicts, so he had to try his best to avoid it.

‘I should also check if she is hiding any demon seedlings or something of that sort.’

Yes. That was also a vital thing to check. Although there was not a high probability of that happening, he should not leave it to chances. It was always good to take necessary precautionary measures.

At the same time…

‘Ay?’

While Lan Ling’e was unconscious, she felt the huge hand leave her forehead and start sliding all over her body. Her face turned a little red.

‘Senior… Senior Brother… Isn’t this way too… This is way too inappropriate…’

Not long after, Li Changshou nodded his head. After the thorough check that he had conducted, there seemed not to be any problems with his junior martial sister—she was not possessed, there were no demon seedlings planted in her, and she was not under the influence of any Gu poison or curse. Moreover, she indeed had talent in cultivation.

Lan Ling’e had officially pa.s.sed the entrance check!

After that would be regarding his junior martial sister’s training courses, and Li Changshou had to prepare for that thoroughly.

It would be best if his junior martial sister were not someone who would create troubles. In that case, his chances of being affected by karma, later on, would be similar to how his chances were now.

Li Changshou was in a daze as he sat on the edge of the bed. Afterward, he laughed dryly and muttered, “I can somehow understand why there were so many people who were obsessed with lolitas in his previous life. How could anyone withstand their cuteness?”

‘Obsessed with lolitas? Cute? Previous life?’

Although Lan Ling’e did not understand what he said, she felt that her master’s words were indeed right. Her senior martial brother was a little weird.

Maybe because of the effects of the cooling streams of air, Lan Ling’e felt that she had recovered some of her energy. She could not resist the urge to open her eyes. Her lips parted slightly, and a groan was produced from her throat.

Her vision turned from blurry to clear. Lan Ling’e could finally have a good look at her senior martial brother up close. He indeed possessed defined features. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed. He was even more charming than her mother’s personal guards.

However, this senior brother’s expression now—made her a little fearful!

‘Senior Brother’s stare looks so terrifying!’

Gulp!

Lan Ling’e gulped down her saliva. She looked weak, helpless, and pitiful.

She heard the teenage cultivator sitting on the edge of the bed, asking, “Did you hear everything that I said just now?”

Lan Ling’e was instantly a little nervous. Her voice trembled as she replied, “N… no… yeah…”

‘What’s wrong with Senior Brother? Did I do anything to upset him? From Senior Brother’s expression, he seems unsatisfied with me?’

“Senior Brother…”

The teenager on the edge of the bed stood up slowly. He lowered his head and looked down at the beautiful little girl. His gaze had a little hesitation in it. However, very quickly, he spoke with a low-pitched voice.

“Look at me. Do not mention what I had said to anyone.”

“Oh, okay,” Lan Ling’e answered softly. Her face was flushed, and she was at a loss.

Afterward, she saw her senior brother shake his head and walk towards the window. He stared outside the window and seemed to be in a daze.

His name was Li Changshou. When he had been being accepted as a disciple, he had insisted on keeping Changshou as his Dao name.

The reason was similar to Lan Ling’e’s guess. Li Changshou wanted to live longer¹. It would be best if his lifespan was as long as heaven and earth.

At that instant, Li Changshou was recalling the information that he had exposed when talking to himself.

‘The biggest slip should be the words ‘previous life.’ F*ck!’

Li Changshou had been extremely cautious these few hundred years. He did not expect that he would expose his secret to this new junior sister of his! He had kept the secret in his heart for too long and could not resist the urge to talk to himself!

Li Changshou rubbed his chin as his gaze swept to the little girl that was attempting to leave the bed.

He must indeed kill her to shut her up. Kill her to shut her up!

Lan Ling’e took a lot of effort to sit up straight on the bed. She saw her senior brother’s cold stare coincidentally and could not help but s.h.i.+ver.

“Senior Brother?”

“Do not tell anyone about what I had just said!”

“Yes! Ling’e will remember this!”

“You must not mention this to anyone, including Master!”

“Okay, Senior Brother…”

“Good. Make an oath in the name of the miraculous Dao!”

“Umm? Umm…”

Under the sunlight, parallel black vertical lines appeared on the forehead of the little girl sitting on the bed. With the technical guidance—or rather, supervision—by the person beside her, she raised her pet.i.te hand and started reciting the thousand-word long Dao oath that considered various possible situations and listed the various preconditions.
