“You want to take your parents to visit the city near the Sect?”
“That’s right, we feel our parents are too bored here. We want to take them out for a walk!”
“It’s not impossible, but…” Lin Muxue looked a bit conflicted, furrowing her brow.
While Lin Muxue hesitated, Su Lingling secretly poked Su Qianqian’s hand and sent her a voice transmission:
“Big Sister, it’s your turn to act. While Master is still hesitating, help sway Master’s decision!”
“Do we really have to do this? I don’t think it’s necessary at all…”
“Big Sister~, both our parents and I want to go out for a bit~, pretty please~”
Su Lingling always said that Master couldn’t resist Su Qianqian’s cute act, but in truth, Su Qianqian was completely helpless against Su Lingling’s pouting as well.
Helplessly rubbing her forehead, she took a step forward, determined to give it her all!
At that moment, Lin Muxue was still deep in thought when she noticed Su Qianqian stepping in front of her, as if working up the courage for something.
Under Lin Muxue’s slightly puzzled gaze, Su Qianqian suddenly hugged her!
Clinging to her, Su Qianqian nuzzled her head into Lin Muxue’s embrace, and pleaded in a voice softer than ever: “Master~, we really want to go out~, please~, Master is the best~”
Behind her, even Su Lingling, who had come up with this “brilliant idea,” was surprised that her Big Sister could speak in such a soft and adorable voice.
Even Su Lingling herself couldn’t help but feel her heart melt, giving her sister a big thumbs up.
As for Lin Muxue, in Su Lingling’s eyes, Lin Muxue was frozen on the spot, her expression solidifying. For a moment, Su Lingling wasn’t sure what to make of the situation.
After her whole act, Su Qianqian looked up at Lin Muxue, not sure what would happen.
“Big Sister, try it again?”
“I already gave it my all just now, I can’t do it again.”
“Please~, Big Sis~ter~”
“Sigh… I give up, fine, just this once…”
Taking a deep breath, Su Qianqian launched another flawless round of acting cute:
“Mas~ter~, pretty ple~ase~”
No way, Su Qianqian felt a shiver run down her spine this time—how could she even make such a voice?
Forcing down her discomfort, Su Qianqian pressed on, barely finishing her words, when Lin Muxue finally reacted, and then—
“Of course~ you can~ eh?!” Su Qianqian let out a cry of surprise as Lin Muxue scooped her up at a startling speed, then started rubbing her face all over Su Qianqian’s!
“Of course, whatever you want, Master will give you!”
“Uh, that’s not really necessary, so Master, you agree?” Su Qianqian’s head lolled sideways from all the rubbing, but she kept asking.
“Naturally there’s no problem. I was hesitating because starting tomorrow, I have to attend some kind of emergency Meeting for nearly a month, so I can’t take you. Letting you go alone would be too dangerous.”
Su Lingling, hearing this, showed an “I see” expression. “So that’s it? I thought Master was hesitating whether to agree. It’s fine to wait until you return, we’re not in a rush.”
Lin Muxue nodded, then hugged Su Qianqian and headed back into the Cave Dwelling: “I’m borrowing your sister for a moment, I’ll bring her back right away.”
“Alright! I’ll go cultivate now!”
Right then, Su Lingling heard her sister’s “calm” voice transmission: “Lingling, you’re just leaving me behind like this?! Who sets their own sister up like that!”
“It’s fine, Master is so gentle. Just a little cuddling and kisses, then you’re free. Thanks for your sacrifice, Big Sister.” Su Lingling stuck out her tongue at Su Qianqian, flashing a mischievous smile.
“So unfair, Su Lingling is getting more devious by the day! Who’s teaching her this…?”
But there was no time to think. As soon as they entered the Cave Dwelling, Su Qianqian was gently placed on the bed.
Before she could react, she was subjected to a torrential “assault.”
Half an hour later…
At the Training Ground, Su Qianqian silently let Su Lingling look at the lip marks on her face and neck, saying nothing.
Su Lingling studied her sister gravely, then nodded. “Completely understandable, Big Sister, you went a little overboard just now.”
“What do you even understand? You don’t know what I just went through.”
“Big Sister, you’re totally unaware of your own charm! If you weren’t my sister, with the way you looked just now, I’d have done something even worse.”
“That’s right.” From behind, Lin Muxue, now calm again, walked over and agreed.
“You… both… forget it…”
Su Qianqian was utterly defeated. She’d thought that with Su Lingling present, even if Lin Muxue had other intentions, she’d at least consider the opinion of her other Disciple, but in the end…
Her own younger sister had actually become the chief accomplice in selling her out!
“When something really happens to your sister, you’ll regret it,” Su Qianqian grumbled silently.
But no matter what, in the end, things had worked out.
The goal was achieved, Su Lingling was happy, Lin Muxue was happy, and Su Qianqian… honestly, didn’t exactly dislike what had just happened…
“Ahem, you two should start cultivating now. If you have questions, just ask me.”
“Okay!”
Soon, it was the next day…
“I’ll return as soon as I can. Remember to cultivate well. I’ve already prepared your cultivation resources. For this month, you’ll train with the Teaching Elder.”
“Mm, safe travels, Master!”
After saying goodbye to her two Disciples, Lin Muxue lightly took a step forward.
The next instant, she appeared at the far end of their vision. With another step, Lin Muxue had vanished without a trace.
“Wow~! Master is so cool! That’s even more amazing than Sword Flight!”
“That’s the ‘Earth-shrinking Divine Ability.’ Not just anyone can learn it. Lingling, if you want to master it, you’ll have to work hard.”
“Okay! So Big Sister, what do we do now? With Master gone, I’m still not used to it.”
“Hmm… Master said we should go find the Teaching Elder. She gave me a Map, let’s go look for her.”
“Alright, let’s go! Woohoo!”
Su Lingling summoned her flying sword and shot off at a completely outrageous speed!
“Lingling! We’re heading into the most crowded area—do you want to get lectured again?”
……
In the end, Su Qianqian managed to perform the “Persuasion Duty” the Elder had asked of her last time, getting Su Lingling to slow down to a proper speed as they arrived at a bustling spot.
Following the Map, they reached the right place.
Just as they were about to look around, perhaps having received word ahead of time, the Teaching Elder found them first.
The moment Su Lingling saw the Teaching Elder, she jumped in fright!
“Elder, I didn’t fly too fast this time!”
That’s right, this Teaching Elder was the same Disciplinary Elder who had caught Su Lingling “racing her sword” last time.
“Hehe, I saw. Be sure to keep it up. Following the rules is very important.”
“Yes, ma’am…”
“Now, come with me. Aside from you two, I’m also responsible for the basic training of your fellow Disciples…”
