Chapter 42: Killing a Chicken to Scare the Monkeys, White Lotus Cottage

White Mountain, on the mountaintop.

White Lotus Cottage.

Crack~

A crisp sound.

The sound of porcelain hitting the ground.

Fine pieces of porcelain scattered all over the floor.

White Lotus Scenic Master rarely gets angry, but her face is now filled with dark clouds.

"You still won't eat?"

"Mm." The junior disciple below lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, but she added, "I won't eat a single bite."

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing the definite answer again, a hint of anxiety appeared on White Lotus Scenic Master's face.

"Such determination! Have you even disowned me as your master?"

Speaking of this, the image of Fu Ning suddenly appeared in White Lotus Scenic Master's mind.

Although he had reached the mountain four times, his foundation had been destroyed...

He was ultimately not someone on the same path.

"ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh."

"Ah Nuo, go quietly and bring some food to Yun Niang, and say... say that you gave it to her privately."

Ah Nuo was first stunned for a moment, then she realized.

This was the first time she had seen her master compromise like this.

"I'll go right away."

Saying that, Ah Nuo took a few steps back, about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, so she reminded, "Master, it seems like Senior Brother Qian sent Qian Xiong to Red Mountain yesterday to summon Fu Ning to come up the mountain."

"Early this morning, Zheng Datong from Red Mountain came up the mountain with people."

"Just now when I came up the mountain, I saw Zheng Datong sneaking around outside the disciples' courtyard."

Upon hearing this, White Lotus Scenic Master's eyes suddenly brightened. "Are you sure it was Zheng Datong?"

Ah Nuo nodded. "No mistake, our White Mountain is full of white, and suddenly there's someone wearing red clothes, naturally very eye-catching."

After hearing the confirmed answer, White Lotus Scenic Master's expression grew colder. "Good, we happen to be lacking someone to establish authority."

"Capture Zheng Datong."

"Ah?" Ah Nuo thought she had misheard.

Zheng Datong was the direct disciple of Red Mountain's Master Red Sun Scenic Master and had a considerable reputation among the disciples of Red Mountain. If he was captured casually, it would likely cause a big fuss on Red Mountain's side.

"Master... what about Senior Brother Danyang..."

"Hmph! The point is to let the people from Red Mountain know, so they won't have any improper thoughts about our White Mountain disciples in the future."

Ah Nuo suddenly realized: This is to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Zheng Datong is the chicken, and Fu Ning is the monkey~

As expected, the master still cares the most about her little junior sister!

...

On the mountainside of White Mountain, a white cloud descended.

Soon, Fu Ning heard the news of Senior Brother Zheng's capture.

"What? A traitor?"

He was stunned for a moment, then turned to Qian Mingyuan beside him.

The latter sneered, with a look of disdain. "I knew Senior Zheng's intentions were impure this time. It seems he couldn't control himself."

Fu Ning's expression froze for a moment. This joke had gone too far. A disciple from Red Mountain was captured by White Mountain. It felt like when his girlfriend was arrested while he was on a business trip.

"It seems that no matter what, I have to go see White Lotus Scenic Master."

"Junior Brother, think twice."

"With White Lotus Master's personality... she would rather catch the wrong person than let them go."

"It's possible that you might be detained as well."

After a moment of contemplation, Fu Ning decided to go: "I can't just leave Senior Brother Zheng alone."

Before long, a white cloud and a floating lotus leaf appeared on the mountainside.

The two of them landed on the mountaintop, one after the other.

"Cough cough, junior brother, if you continue forward, you will see a small courtyard with a small pond at the entrance. It is called 'Lotus Retreat', which is the cultivation place of Senior Uncle Bailian."

"When you arrive, the disciples at the entrance will inform them. As for me... I won't go, as I might cause trouble."

Fu Ning nodded. Qian Mingyuan himself was a disciple of White Mountain, so if he rashly helped a disciple of Red Mountain, he would inevitably be labeled as someone who takes advantage of others.

"Alright, I'll take care of the rest."

"Junior brother, remember, do not provoke Senior Uncle Bailian. If it's impossible, then quickly go to Red Mountain for reinforcements."

Qian Mingyuan glanced in the direction of 'Lotus Retreat', his eyes filled with fear. It seems that this 'Master Tai' has indeed made a deep impression on everyone.

Fu Ning nodded and turned towards the direction of Lotus Retreat.

Following Qian Mingyuan's instructions, he walked a few dozen steps forward and soon a small courtyard came into view.

In front of the courtyard was a small pond measuring seven feet square. In the pond grew a 'Pure Hibiscus'. The leaves of ordinary hibiscus are green, but the leaves of the 'Pure Hibiscus' have a layer of white frost on the surface, making them appear white.

Not far from the small pond was the main gate of the courtyard, with a plaque hanging in the middle, inscribed with the four golden characters 'Lotus Retreat'.

Standing in front of the gate were two female disciples of White Mountain.

It is said that White Mountain produces beautiful women, and these two disciples were both elegant and heroic.

As soon as Fu Ning turned from the intersection, he was immediately met with the cold gazes of the two disciples.

Ah, such good female disciples, but they have been influenced by Senior Uncle Bailian.

"I am Fu Ning, a disciple of Red Mountain. I would like to see Senior Uncle Bailian."

One of them looked Fu Ning up and down and said, "So you are Fu Ning?"

"Absolutely."

"Hmph, my master is in a bad mood right now, you have quite the courage to come here on your own."

"I advise junior brother not to see him, to avoid any further accidents."

At this moment, the other disciple also kindly reminded him.

Fu Ning couldn't help but feel a chill. It's true that when you sit on Red Mountain, trouble comes from above.

"Cough cough, please inform the senior sister that I can make Yun Niang feel at ease staying on White Mountain."

The two female disciples exchanged glances and then said, "Then wait here."

After speaking, they turned and walked quickly towards the courtyard.

...

Lotus Retreat, main hall.

"What? Fu Ning wants to see me?"

White Lotus Scenic Scholar's face was full of frost.

"I didn't go looking for trouble with him, but he took the initiative to come to me."

In her opinion, Yun Niang wanted to leave White Mountain because of Fu Ning, so she resented him.

"He also said... he has a way to make Cheng Shimei feel at ease on White Mountain."

"Hmph! Yun Niang is my disciple, does he need to meddle?"

"Tell him to get lost!"

"Ah~" The disciple was about to leave, but the White Lotus Scenic Master suddenly thought of Yun Niang and softened her heart, "Wait!"

"Let him come in."

Soon, the disciple returned, followed by Fu Ning.

"Disciple Fu Ning, pays respects to Senior Uncle."

"Hmph, why aren't you honestly cultivating on Red Mountain? Why are you wandering around my White Mountain?"

Upon seeing Fu Ning, the White Lotus Scenic Master's expression grew even colder.

"I heard that Senior Brother Baiyun is about to close up, so I came to visit."

Fu Ning deliberately mentioned White Cloud Scenic Master, hoping to find some support.

Sure enough, after hearing the name White Cloud Scenic Master, the White Lotus Scenic Master's expression finally eased a bit.

If there is anyone on the three mountains who can control Senior Uncle Bailian, it is probably only White Cloud Scenic Master.

Since she came up the mountain, White Cloud Scenic Master has been supporting and taking care of her all the way.

To her, White Cloud Scenic Master is like a father and brother.

So not long ago, in order to obtain the 'Boundary Breaking Pill', the White Lotus Scenic Master was so angry that she directly removed the signboard of the Red Mountain Medicine Garden.

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to take Senior Brother Zheng back to Red Mountain and persuade Yun Niang to stay on White Mountain."

This was an exchange of interests.
