Chapter 777 World 325
Shen Ruyin followed her senior brother from Biyun Palace into the sect's main hall, where they were immediately met with several pairs of gazes.
Shen Ruyin calmly bowed, ignoring Sect Leader Qian above her, and went directly to Chen Ling's side.
Chen Ling looked her up and down for a moment, then praised, "Well done."
Shen Ruyin's eyes lit up, and she asked in a low voice, "Master, you can't just praise me verbally, can you? Is there any other reward?"
Chen Ling asked, "What do you want? You can choose whatever you want when we get back."
Shen Ruyin didn't care about the treasures of Po Nian Peak. These things would all be hers after Chen Ling stepped down and she became the peak master. It didn't matter whether she could get them now.
She has her own ideas about the reward.
"I don't want those. When we get back, I have something else to discuss with you. Will you agree to it then?"
Shen Ruyin has always had a good reputation with Chen Ling, and Chen Ling agreed as soon as she finished speaking.
After the competition ended that day, Chen Ling ignored the look of wanting to keep Shen Ruyin and praise her more, and also ignored the envious look of the Sword Peak Master, and took Shen Ruyin back to Po Nian Peak.
"What did you say?" After hearing what reward Shen Ruyin wanted, Chen Ling thought he had misheard, and even his usual aloofness shattered.
He asked Shen Ruyin again, "Are you really going to establish your foundation now? This is no joke."
After saying that, he advised Shen Ruyin, "Now is the time for you to lay a solid foundation, there's no need to rush."
"Although establishing a foundation early can give you an advantage in cultivation, cultivation is not just about increasing your cultivation level; it also involves the growth of your mind."
"If your mindset can't keep up, even if you have high cultivation, it will be in vain."
"Moreover, there is another particularly bad thing about Foundation Establishment now."
"Before you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you will remain in your current form and never grow up. You haven't even celebrated your tenth birthday yet, do you intend to stay a child for decades?"
Shen Ruyin didn't think it was a bad thing: "So many people want to be children forever, but they can't. Besides, I don't think I'll need that much time."
“Don’t tell me what you think,” Chen Ling glared at her, her usual composed demeanor faltering, “I don’t think it’s right.”
Seeing Shen Ruyin puffing out her cheeks and looking somewhat unhappy, Chen Ling said, "Let's wait a few more years until you're thirteen or fourteen before bringing this up again."
After saying that, he stopped keeping a close eye on Shen Ruyin's cultivation as before and directly chased her out: "Your Uncle Li from Beast Taming Peak has been waiting for you for a long time. Go find her."
Seeing this, Shen Ruyin quickly said, "Master, wait a minute. If you don't agree to this reward, you have to give me something else, right?"
Chen Ling then stopped and didn't dare to ask Shen Ruyin what she wanted. He packed everything he thought Shen Ruyin might need into a new pendant, and hung it around her neck with a chain as if it were something insignificant.
"Go ahead, don't delay."
Shen Ruyin was rushed out the door by him. Clutching the things in her hand, she could only "regretfully" give up her plan to establish her foundation as soon as possible, and happily went to the Beast Taming Peak.
Actually, when she mentioned building her foundation ahead of schedule, she wasn't just teasing Chen Ling; she genuinely intended to do so.
But now that Chen Ling disagrees, she won't force him.
Not everyone knew about her situation. Chen Ling was worried that she was young and might do something irrational in a moment of passion, which was quite normal.
Shen Ruyin was unaware that after she left, Chen Ling first sent a communication talisman to Beast Taming Peak, asking Peak Master Li of Beast Taming Peak to teach her the way of beast taming. Then, she turned around, took her sword, left Broken Thought Peak, and headed towards the main peak.
Sect Leader Qian was somewhat surprised to see Chen Ling arrive: "Junior Brother, didn't you go back? Why are you here again all of a sudden?"
Chen Ling waved his sleeve and sent all the disciples inside out of the door. Then he closed the door of the sect's main hall, drew his sword, and went out.
Seeing the situation was bad, Sect Leader Qian turned and ran, shouting, "Chen Ling, what are you doing, going crazy!"
Seeing that Chen Ling didn't answer, he quickly resorted to his trump card: "Stop right now, or I'll tell my master!"
“Go,” Chen Ling was completely out of his control this time, and even looked forward to it, “Go tell my master how you managed to get his grand-disciple to want to establish his foundation now.”
"What?" Sect Leader Qian stopped, somewhat dumbfounded.
Chen Ling's hand didn't tremble at all. The sword blade grazed the side of Sect Master Qian's face, shaving off half of his eyebrow.
Seeing his comical appearance, Chen Ling was quite satisfied and sheathed his sword.
Sect Leader Qian, however, couldn't care less about causing trouble for Chen Ling and grabbed him, saying, "You said Xing Luo wants to establish his foundation? What does that have to do with me!"
"No, you can't start Foundation Establishment now!"
“You don’t need to tell me,” Chen Ling shook off his hand and answered his previous question, “Who told you to show off to outsiders? It must be that Xing Luo heard what you said today from somewhere else, which is why he wanted to start his foundation building ahead of time and save face for you.”
Sect Leader Qian was not swayed by him: "What I said today was perfectly normal, what am I showing off? But Xingluo is indeed a lovable child, far more so than you, his master."
Chen Ling glanced at him and said slowly, "Then you can pretend that I splashed a bowl of water on you this morning and I'm still a little angry, so I'm coming to fight you again now."
After Chen Ling finished speaking, he turned and left.
Sect Leader Qian, a beat slow to react, erupted in anger: "Dust! Spirit!"
By the time Sect Leader Qian reached the door, Chen Ling had already vanished.
Wanting to see what was going on, Fuhe, who was closest to the door, approached Sect Leader Qian with a look of curiosity: "Master, what's wrong with your eyebrows?"
Sect Leader Qian clenched his fists, looking at the face of his own second disciple, and could no longer contain his anger...
"Ouch!" Fuhe clutched his head, pretending to be in great pain. "Master, why did you hit me? It hurts!"
The eldest disciple of Sect Master Qian came up from behind and patted Fuhe on the shoulder: "Junior brother, you covered up too early. Master didn't hit you just now."
Fuhe moved his hand away, saw the speechless expression on Sect Leader Qian's face, and chuckled: "Master."
Sect Leader Qian rolled his eyes: "Go and find your Junior Sister Fu Wan."
"Oh," Fuhe turned to leave, but returned after a few steps. "Master, Junior Sister Fuwan was just called away by Junior Sister Xingluo, who said she was going to Beast Taming Peak. Should we call her back?"
Master Qian turned away in silence.
I'm afraid I can't keep this disciple.
