Chapter 334: Chapter 254: Jiang Cheng Broadly Accepts Disciples

In the fulfilling life of completing tasks day after day, Jiang Cheng’s cultivation covertly reached the Golden Core Stage.

One day, Yun Shu returned home from a trip, intending to pass by Front Peak and incidentally check up on her disciple Jiang Cheng’s cultivation progress.

Though she claimed not to want to bother with Jiang Cheng, in reality, she indeed didn’t want to, yet no matter what, as a master, she still had to show some concern. After all, Jiang Cheng was her closed-door disciple.

Of course, the most important reason was that her Memory of a Thousand Years had run out, and she heard there was still some left in Jiang Cheng’s storage bag.

She taught Jiang Cheng some spells; he showed his filial piety with some drinks, without her having to spend any money on them. That’s pretty fair, right?

However, Yun Shu never would have guessed that, with just a moment of inattentiveness, her disciple Jiang Cheng had inexplicably reached the Golden Core Stage. There was none of the arduous ordeal typical of other disciples, who prepared thoroughly and risked life and limb in a desperate gamble for advancement.

It was quite sudden, leaving her feeling rather uninvolved.

It seemed as though whether or not she was his master made no difference to Jiang Cheng.

This simply wouldn’t do—she needed to reinforce her presence as a master. After all, within the vast Tongtian Sect, could it be that everyone knew Jiang Cheng, but not Yun Shu?

Yun Shu arrived at Front Peak and discovered Jiang Cheng hosting a grand banquet for guests.

Some acquaintances who weren’t in regular contact warmly invited her to join them as if they assumed she was just there to freeload a meal!

She was, after all, the true peak master of North Forest Peak!

“Jiang Cheng!” Yun Shu went looking for her disciple with imposing momentum.

“Master?” Jiang Cheng was also surprised to see Yun Shu. Honestly, the chances of encountering Yun Shu on North Forest Peak were probably even lower than bumping into her at the Demon Sect.

Unexpectedly, she was here today.

“What’s this banquet about?”

“Well, Master, it’s like this. I was undercover in a Demon Sect not too long ago, and I accidentally wiped them out entirely. So…”

Yun Shu suddenly realized, “I see, so these are all the heroes who helped you take down the Demonic Tao?”

“Not exactly,” Jiang Cheng explained, “These seniors all got dragged into trouble because of me. Some just got out of the Enforcement Hall, so I’m treating them to a meal as a small token of my gratitude.”

Yun Shu fell silent as she observed the festive atmosphere at Front Peak, with everyone enjoying themselves.

So they got dragged into trouble by you, yet why can they still laugh about it?

How is it so different from when I deceive someone?

“Nevermind, when you’re done, come find me behind the mountain.”

“Alright.”

“Right.”

“What’s up, Master?”

Yun Shu stated seriously, “Have some food and drinks sent to the back mountain first.”

Jiang Cheng was taken aback and replied, “Then I’ll have Liu Qing send it to Master.”

Liu Qing was quite reliable in handling tasks; as each dish was served at the banquet, she would take one to the back mountain for Yun Shu.

After the finale of the dishes had been brought, Yun Shu generously asked Liu Qing to stay and eat.

To Yun Shu’s surprise, however, Liu Qing actually wanted to check with Jiang Cheng using a Jade Token first, agreeing to stay and dine only after Jiang Cheng had consented.

“Just what is your relationship with Jiang Cheng?” Yun Shu had wanted to ask this question for a while, and today, with Jiang Cheng absent, she finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

“Friends,” Liu Qing said.

“I don’t buy it. What kind of friends are you? Needing to ask for permission even to eat, most ordinary couples aren’t even like that. Only those nauseatingly lovey-dovey ones do this.”

Liu Qing didn’t know how to respond to Yun Shu, so she stayed silent.

Yun Shu continued, “When you and Jiang Cheng first arrived, both of you were at the Foundation Establishment, and now both of you are at Core Formation. From this, it’s apparent that your talent for cultivation must be quite similar, so life span probably isn’t an issue. Therefore…”

Yun Shu looked at Liu Qing with a mischievous smile, “When do you plan to get married?”

Liu Qing’s eyes flickered, “We’re friends.”

Yun Shu patted Liu Qing’s shoulder vigorously, saying, “Stop lying. I might not be around the peak much, but do you think I can’t see through it? What kind of friends are you? Sleeping with just a screen between you. You may deceive your master, but don’t deceive yourself.”

Liu Qing continued to remain silent.

But it seemed like Yun Shu enjoyed teasing her aloof and beautiful table companion, as she deliberately leaned in and asked, “If Jiang Cheng wants to marry you, would you agree?”

Liu Qing blinked her clear eyes, looking at Yun Shu, sniffing her scent.

Yun Shu was a good person.

She quickly came to an accurate conclusion.

In Yun Shu’s perspective, Liu Qing’s prolonged silence was an answer in itself. They were both female cultivators; who wouldn’t understand each other?

Forget the reserved Liu Qing; even the “loyal” Yun Shu wouldn’t consider sleeping with a male cultivator behind a mere screen.

That screen was nothing more than thin paper; it was only a matter of when they decided to break through it.

“Enough talk, drink with me now.”

“Okay.”

Yun Shu, arm in arm with Liu Qing, drank merrily as if they were as close as sisters.

As for Yun Shu’s actual disciple, Jiang Cheng, at this point, she was thoroughly forgotten.

Not until the next day, when Yun Shu sobered up and saw Jiang Cheng in her cave dwelling, did she hazily say, “Eh? How did you get here?”

Jiang Cheng said blandly, “Master, you told me to find you behind the mountain when I had time. So here I am.”

“Oh right, I was planning to guide you in your cultivation, I almost forgot.”

In order not to delay serious matters, Yun Shu quickly expelled the lingering drunkenness with her cultivation method, then began formally instructing Jiang Cheng in the study of spells.

Jiang Cheng had no idea why Yun Shu suddenly took it upon herself to teach him about cultivating immortality.

Fortunately, although his focus was on completing tasks, he had not neglected his regular cultivation. Under Yun Shu’s tutelage, he clumsily started being forced to learn the spells she was teaching him.
