Spectating the Angsty Romance of the Master and Disciple from the Sect Next Door Chapter 62

Li Jin’an blinked.
She had planned to announce this great news when Qi Lingzi woke up, perfectly accomplishing a double celebration.
But the effect didn’t seem to be very good.
Was it too surprising? So surprising that she fell asleep again!?
Has she slept for three days and still not had enough?
She’s young after all; she falls asleep the moment her head hits the pillow.
Li Jin’an shook her head and sighed softly, “She’s young and can’t handle things. She still needs more experience and training.”
At least give some reaction, call her Master’s wife before falling asleep again!
Why did this child fail at such a crucial moment, not even greeting her!
Tan Yanyi and Ling Qiu thought their Master was scaring their Senior Sister who had just opened her eyes. First, they gave their Master a reproachful look, then, when they understood the meaning of her words, they screamed in unison.
“Ah!??”
Because their ears processed the words too quickly, by the time they realized what they had heard, it was already too late.
“Ma, Ma, Ma…ster’s wife!!!”
Under Li Jin’an’s encouraging gaze, Tan Yanyi’s tongue first got tied. She could barely get the word ‘Ma’ out, stuttering it several times. Then she couldn’t catch her breath and gasped for air before finally managing to shout out the word ‘wife.’
Finally, her face turned beet red, and she couldn’t stop coughing, yet she bravely kept her head up, looking unbelievably at the two unhurried elders.
Ling Qiu’s vision went black. She stumbled a few steps, steadying herself by holding onto a table. She seemed to understand why Senior Sister had fainted so decisively again. If not for her robust health, she too would have wanted to faint to express her profound shock upon hearing this news.
Ancestors above, their Master had completely lost her mind!!
Tan Yanyi, on the verge of tears, said, “I want to go back to the Sword Sect. I miss Grandmaster.”
She was truly terrified.
“Grandmaster, where are you? Come quickly!”
“Your disciple has lost her mind!”
She wanted to ask Grandmaster to exorcise the evil from her Master, to see if her Master had been schemed against with dark arts.
What evil cultivator was so audacious as to hex Jijin Sword Sovereign, who detested Qingxiao Immortal Venerable the most in the cultivation world? They were simply courting death!
Ling Qiu, even more vigilant, guarded Qi Lingzi’s bedside. She believed her Master must have been body snatched to say such abnormal and deadly things. To prevent this fake Master from flying into a rage and going berserk, she had to protect Senior Sister well.
“Don’t come any closer! This is the Dao Sect, where Dao Venerable and Dao Lord stand guard. All evil spirits have nowhere to hide. You might be able to bewitch Qingxiao Immortal Venerable, but you can’t fool us! I’m telling you, if you don’t leave now, we will ask Dao Lord to scatter your lonely spirit into oblivion!”
Tan Yanyi, with a crying voice, shouted at Li Jin’an, “You filthy thing, get off my Master!”
“…”
When one is utterly speechless, one truly can laugh.
Li Jin’an laughed in exasperation; these two fools couldn’t possibly be taking the opportunity to insult her, could they?
…Your vigilance is excellent; next time, don’t be so vigilant.
Not only was there no double happiness, but she was also purely scolded by her disciples. This was simply defying all natural order!
She instinctively looked to see Xie Huaixue’s reaction.
Good. Xie Huaixue’s face held a faint smile. She wasn’t likely angry; she was purely amused.
Damn it, these two precious idiots could even make the usually expressionless Qingxiao Immortal Venerable laugh in public. Who wouldn’t call that impressive skill!
However, Ling Qiu across from them hadn’t stopped, excitedly saying, “As Master’s disciples, we might not know what Master likes, but we know precisely what Master dislikes. Master detests Qingxiao Immortal Venerable the most, yet you, this lonely spirit, are unaware and still dare to pretend!”
At this point, she no longer cared that Qingxiao Immortal Venerable was right beside them. Getting her Master to regain her senses was the important matter.
She and Tan Yanyi were both stealthily sending out message paper cranes, hoping someone would come to save them, to save their Master who had gone mad!
Li Jin’an and Xie Huaixue acted simultaneously, intercepting the small paper cranes flying outwards.
If these had successfully flown out, wouldn’t Jingting Dao Lord die of laughter?
A thousand years before and ten thousand years hence, there wouldn’t be such joyful amusement. Li Jin’an didn’t want to be laughed at every time she saw Jingting Dao Lord; she couldn’t withstand such a blow.
When she looked up again, Tan Yanyi and Ling Qiu were trembling and huddled together in front of Qi Lingzi’s bed. It was clear they were terrified.
What they were afraid of was evident.
Afraid that the ‘wandering spirit’ Li Jin’an would silence them permanently.
Even trembling like this, they still tremblingly stood guard in front of Qi Lingzi’s bed.
Their fellow disciple camaraderie was fully displayed at this moment, though it was quite unkind to their Master.
Li Jin’an looked at them, falling silent for a moment.
In this situation, she couldn’t articulate her inner bewilderment.
Sometimes she really wondered why all the disciples she took in were so extraordinary, unconventional, truly original, distinctive, fresh, and ingenious?
She was at a complete loss.
Was this a lesson for her overly arrogant behavior over the past thousand years?
Li Jin’an, filled with weariness, beckoned to them both, her tone fierce. “You two, be normal! Do you want this Master to recount all the foolish things you’ve done in the past?”
Tan Yanyi and Ling Qiu looked at her with great skepticism, not believing her words, because after body snatching, the new possessor would gain all the previous memories of the original owner, which proved nothing.
Just as Li Jin’an clenched her fists and glared angrily at her two unlucky disciples, Qi Lingzi, lying on the bed, silently opened her eyes. Her eyeballs were unmoving, her gaze unfocused and distant.
After a long while, her consciousness finally gathered, and she looked towards the source of the sound, her voice so weak it was barely a whisper, “Master, Junior Sister, Ling Qiu…”
Ling Qiu, with her sharp ears, immediately heard her name. She instantly turned to look and exclaimed, “Senior Sister, are you alright!”
“I’m fine.” Qi Lingzi managed a comforting smile, and with difficulty, patted Ling Qiu’s hand. “Help me up.”
Ling Qiu did as told, protectively leaning Qi Lingzi against herself, and whispered, “Master is bewitched. Be careful what you say, don’t anger her.”
Tan Yanyi nodded vigorously beside her.
“…”
Li Jin’an didn’t even need to turn her head to sense the amused gaze coming from the person beside her.
“Is there a possibility that this Master can hear your whispering? Are you trying to die? You don’t even bother to hide your gossip anymore, do you?” Li Jin’an pointed at the three of them, furious, feeling that they had utterly disgraced her in front of Xie Huaixue. She continued impatiently, “Don’t I know if I’ve been body snatched?”
“Who can body snatch me! Who dares to body snatch me! Who can body snatch me! I’m not some little fool like you all.”
These days, no one even believes it when you tell the truth. How strange!
Li Jin’an let out a long breath, trying to speak calmly and peacefully. “Besides, nothing is surprising in the cultivation world. Isn’t it normal for this Master’s relationship with Immortal Venerable to have eased a bit? Why such a fuss? What sort of decorum is that!”
Normal, my foot!
They’re about to call her Master’s wife; is this just a matter of the relationship easing a bit?
Heavenly Dao above, when did their Jijin Peak ever have such a thing as decorum!
Qi Lingzi braced her weak and aching body, preventing herself from falling, and looked at Li Jin’an with a blank stare, mumbling to herself, “So, I wasn’t having a nightmare earlier.”
It turned out she thought it was a nightmare earlier, which was why she fainted without hesitation.
Now, Li Jin’an’s face also darkened.
She might as well have remained unconscious; at least she wouldn’t say things Li Jin’an didn’t like to hear.
She had thought that among her three disciples, only Qi Lingzi could grasp her painstaking intentions. Who knew she was also cut from the same cloth!
Qi Lingzi leaned against Ling Qiu, tremblingly raising her arm, and looked at Li Jin’an as if seeking confirmation, “Master, is, is it true?”
Li Jin’an felt her words didn’t count anymore, so she looked at Xie Huaixue. “You tell them, is it true or false!”
“It’s true.” Xie Huaixue’s tone wasn’t heavy, yet it gave a resolute and irrefutable feeling, as if she were speaking an unshakeable truth of the world.
Those three words silenced the three restless and agitated little fools opposite them.
They thought for a moment. If their current Master was truly a fake, she would never be able to deceive Qingxiao Immortal Venerable.
Which meant…
Facing three pairs of wide, round eyes, Li Jin’an thought for a moment, then took Xie Huaixue’s hand, intertwining their fingers, and shook it at them.
“Do you understand now?” Li Jin’an tried to press her lips into a thin line, but her triumph had already spilled from her brows and eyes. She prompted, “Do you know what to say now?”
Quickly, call your Master and Master’s wife!
Tan Yanyi was the first to answer, “Master, you’ve defected to the enemy!”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Li Jin’an was dumbfounded.
Xie Huaixue let out a soft chuckle, her laughter full of amusement.
From Tan Yanyi’s words, it wasn’t hard to see what kind of education Jijin Peak usually provided, and how everyone on Jijin Peak regarded Qingxiao Immortal Venerable as a mortal enemy.
Li Jin’an closed her eyes tightly, took a deep, cold breath, and holding Xie Huaixue’s hand, she said in a weathered tone, “You go wait outside for me first. I have a small matter to attend to.”
“Okay.”
Xie Huaixue squeezed Li Jin’an’s fingertips and gave her a fleeting glance.
Her clear, chilling eyes seemed to hold a hook, reaching out to Li Jin’an’s pounding heart.
Li Jin’an’s gaze followed, and she only reluctantly withdrew her gaze after the person had left the courtyard. The moment she turned her head, she was met with three faces with expressions of extreme complexity.
Their thoughts were written all over their faces, very easy to understand.
Your disciples were ready to fight to the death, Master, why did you yield first!
Master, why rebel!
Master, are you worthy of your disciples who fought tooth and nail on the arena!
“Master!!”
Qi Lingzi, whose brain had to quickly start working the moment she woke up, was also like this. Her face held a blank expression, and she felt a sense of meaninglessness, as if the purpose of her efforts had been fundamentally invalidated. She softly asked, “Didn’t you say we had to bring glory to Jijin Peak?”
Li Jin’an felt a pang of guilt for a moment, then spoke with conviction, “Tell me, is there any method that brings more glory than bringing Qingxiao Immortal Venerable back to Jijin Peak?”
“…It seems there really isn’t,” Tan Yanyi said after thinking for a moment, with great certainty.
Qi Lingzi’s expression was blank, as if she was convinced yet still puzzled. Her brain, already sluggish from her injuries, was now even more muddled.
Ling Qiu raised a question, “Given Master’s performance just now, it’s more like you were snatched to Qingxiao Peak!”
Her body was still here, but her soul had already drifted away with Immortal Venerable.
This child, spouting such blunt truths, doesn’t know how to save her Master any face.
“Nonsense,” Li Jin’an said, raising her chin high, her face full of arrogance, and an air of unrivaled haughtiness. “Making Qingxiao Immortal Venerable utterly devoted to this Master, with her love deeply rooted, isn’t that enough to prove this Master’s ability to bring glory and honor?”
The three said nothing, looking at her with unreadable gazes.
They looked at each other, feeling awkward and embarrassed.
Li Jin’an, flushed with anger and embarrassment, retorted, “Won’t it be great to have an extra Immortal Venerable Master’s wife from now on? Go and greet her quickly!”
