Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 42 042: Some Things Only Happen Zero Times and Countless Times (Seeking to Catch Up!)

Three names, Pei Luoshen skimmed over them, but now when Chu Bai sees this name, he feels a headache.

He doesn't recognize the second and third names, but both of them harboring hatred towards him because of Shi Lei indicates that these two are probably Shi Lei's lackeys.

"Zhao Qing, Qi Refining seventh-level outer disciple, it's understandable for him to curry favor with Shi Lei. As the son of Elder Yao Peak, Shi Lei has a way to bring him into the inner sect."

Chu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "As for this Liu Sanniang, I haven't even seen her face, but her hatred towards me is even higher than Shi Lei's. Are you kidding me? Did I eat your family's rice?"

After understanding the current situation, Senior Brother Chu Bai became even angrier.

He didn't sleep all night, quickly healed the injuries he suffered outside, and the next day, he teleported to Mine Cave No. 17 and greeted the 98 disciples who were about to enter the cave, saying, "Today, we won't be mining. I'm sending you to help me investigate someone, and there won't be any wages."

The 100 disciples of Mine Cave No. 17, Er Gou, Kong Xiu, and Wang Yong went to Mine Caves No. 8 and No. 11 respectively to teach "martial arts," leaving the remaining 98 people excited when they heard about private work, their eyes shining.

Nowadays, the reward for mining spirit stones is only one per day, which can only be considered better than nothing for the disciples of Mine Cave No. 17 who have eaten meat and have some savings.

The main reason they continue to work every day is that they can also practice Body Refining and complete Senior Brother Bai's arrangements when they have the qualification to "teach."

Yes, mining is not as interesting as having private work.

Spreading "rumors" and stirring up trouble those days, this group of people felt that they were even more awesome than the inner sect disciples.

Furthermore, Senior Brother Bai beat them last night, and they were worried that they wouldn't have a chance to mend their relationship. Naturally, their eyes became brighter.

Everyone put down their hoes one after another—

"Senior Brother, please make arrangements quickly."

"Senior Brother, my big axe has been hungry and impatient for a long time."

"Senior Brother Bai, we have some connections in the outer sect. We guarantee that we will complete the tasks you assign excellently."

These guys.

Chu Bai looked at their eager hands and felt embarrassed.

The rise of the outer sect should be a chapter full of passion. Chu Bai didn't want to take the limelight and preferred to work behind the scenes, pushing Elder Zhao of Xiaoqing Peak to the front to take the bullet. The strategy was perfect.

But how did the simple and honest miscellaneous disciples who would cry out loudly just from being provoked a couple of times become so cunning one after another?

Then, he solemnly adjusted his expression and slowly said, "The person I want you to investigate is an outer sect disciple, Qi Refining seventh level, named Zhao Qing. My ultimate goal is to kill him."

When the word "kill" was mentioned, some disciples' expressions changed.

"Uh, Senior Brother Bai, did that bastard Zhao Qing offend you?"

Chu Bai said, "He wants to kill me."

Everyone: Understood, then he really deserves to die.

"Remember, if the Law Enforcement Hall asks, you tell the truth, but if anyone else asks, you know nothing."

Everyone understood: If the Law Enforcement Hall asks, say what needs to be said, but if it's not the Law Enforcement Hall, can we make trouble just by chatting?

"Set off!"

The disciples rushed down the mountain, took a bath, combed their hair, changed their clothes, and dressed up. They looked presentable and then quietly dispersed in various places outside the sect.

They left, and Chu Bai should also leave and return to his small thatched cottage. He tidied up, making himself look like a cute little puppy from a xianxia novel, and then called out to the brave and invincible Little Aunt.

"Auntie, Auntie, I have something important to tell you!"

He urgently called five times.

Not long after, a graceful figure in a black robe floated by the lush medicinal field. It was Nangong Li, the senior elder of the outer sect.

As for the sock incident, Nangong Li later thought about it and destroyed them. The clueless little brat who didn't understand knitting received the punishment he deserved, and Nangong Li forgot about the matter.

When Chu Bai saw the petite and hot-tempered little aunt approaching, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He went out to greet her, bowing and almost saying, "Guest, please come inside."

He's like a cute little puppy in a xianxia version. Hehe.

In fact, Chu Bai has no problem calling himself handsome. His face is a sunny white, with well-defined eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, lips neither thin nor thick, tall and long-limbed, young and talented, and exudes an extraordinary aura. If it were someone like Er Gou Kong Xiu, even if they wore a mask and pretended to be an inner sect disciple, no one would believe it. But when Chu Bai stands there, he exudes an immortal charm. On ordinary days, he may not look outstanding, but today he took great care in grooming himself, which truly amazed Nangong Li, who had met him many times before.

Nangong Li sat on her exclusive round stool.

Chu Bai busily prepared the spiritual tea, poured a cup for the respected aunt, and then proceeded to give her a back massage.

"Aunt, I was indeed wrong last time. I was foolish and still don't understand where I went wrong. But that doesn't prevent me from apologizing to you, Aunt. I hope you won't take it to heart."

It's said that once the bottom line is broken, there are only zero and countless times.

At the moment when someone's fingers pinched Nangong Li's shoulder, her body stiffened.

But this stiffness only lasted for two or three breaths. Thinking that the boy behind her was just a child and that everything he did was to show filial respect to his elders, she gradually relaxed.

"No need to be so attentive. Either you have ulterior motives or you're a thief. So, tell me, what trouble have you caused this time?" said the senior elder Nangong indifferently.

Then she picked up the teacup and took a sip. Surprisingly, the taste was much stronger than expected.

Chu Bai continued to show filial respect to his dear aunt. He showed no interest in the delicate face behind the veil or the completely opposite collar. He smiled and said, "Aunt, you truly live up to your title as the senior elder of our outer sect. You can truly predict things."

Nangong Li said, "Who said I'm the senior elder of the outer sect? My surname is Nan."

Chu Bai said, "Oh, yes, Aunt Nan, Aunt Nan."

In his heart: Little old lady, so stubborn!

It's said that zero and countless times are relative. Chu Bai is full of youthful vigor. Although he has been forbidden from doing something, it seems that the little aunt is not good at sealing it. After a long time, the seal begins to loosen.

Furthermore, this seal is more like an enhanced version of the Tranquil Art. If it's an external temptation, Chu Bai can remain calm. But if it's his own thoughts, his blood will still flow faster.

Especially after mocking the transformation of filial piety into corruption, Chu Bai's perception of the proud little aunt has undergone a new change. As he pinched and kneaded, the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance in the direction of the veil, as well as the bellyband. He wondered if it was the same color as last time.

"Hiss!"

Chu Bai's hand was pricked by something, presumably a warning from the respected aunt.

With two light coughs, the extremely timid Chu Bai continued with the main topic, "Hey, Aunt Nan, it's like this. I'm a bit tight on money lately. Can you lend me 50 middle-grade spirit stones?"

Nangong Li said, "No."

Chu Bai froze.

Aunt Nan snorted lightly, "Why did you stop? Did you decide not to show filial respect to me because you heard I won't give you spirit stones?"

"How could that be?"

The petite little aunt's body was soft, and Chu Bai massaged her shoulders through her clothes. The force he received in return was very pleasant.

And that tightly buttoned black collar, sometimes coincidentally rippled like water. Chu Bai said it was filial respect, but he didn't lose out at all.
