Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 50: Little Junior Martial Uncle

Nangong Li was speechless.

She had only tried to establish contact with Azure Cloud Sect's Heavenly Dao Disciple in order to guide him onto the right path.

And then, after a few months of seclusion, he had become a junior disciple who dared to touch the shoulder of the Outer Sect Elder.

"I can't even suppress him with my identity as the Outer Sect Elder?" Nangong Li began to doubt herself.

Fortunately, Chu Bai had come to see her two days after her seclusion ended.

If the time had been shorter, he might have been beaten to death.

If the time had been longer, Nangong Li would have completely digested what should and should not have happened in these past few months. If he wanted to make a move again, if he wanted to show filial piety to his aunt, he would have to start from scratch.

Now, Nangong Li, with a veil covering her face and her phoenix-like eyes wide open, sat softly on the rectangular recliner adorned with carved dragons and attached phoenixes. Chu Bai had a smile on his face as he served her wholeheartedly, creating a harmonious scene.

"Aunt, how do you feel about the strength?" Chu Bai asked.

"Hmm."

A nasal sound.

Chu Bai didn't know what had happened, but it seemed that the lack of control from last time hadn't caused any negative consequences. That meant it was a great success.

Chu Bai really wanted to lift the veil that was so close to him and take a look at his little aunt.

It would definitely be interesting.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare.

Being able to occasionally appreciate the fluctuations caused by the tightness of her collar was already quite good. Moreover, today he had come to ask for a favor, so his filial piety could take a backseat for now. Stability was the most important thing.

At this moment, Nangong Li suppressed her thoughts and decided to wait and see. She used a very stern voice to ask, "Alright, you don't have to pretend anymore. What do you want from me? Let me make it clear in advance, I don't have any spirit stones. No matter what your reasons are, as a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, your cultivation shouldn't be like this."

Chu Bai nodded and said, "Aunt is right. The spirit stones you lent me are enough. I came here today because I found out that someone wants to kill me."

With that, he took out the two dead venomous scorpions.

"These things suddenly appeared in my medicinal field."

Nangong Li saw them and furrowed her brows slightly. "Poisonous creatures."

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she could recognize poisonous substances at a glance.

"Who did this?"

"An Outer Sect disciple named Zhao Qing."

Nangong Li understood. "No wonder you came to me. So it was done by an Outer Sect disciple. Are you sure it's the person you mentioned?"

In name, Chu Bai was an Inner Sect disciple, so if something happened to him, he should go to the Inner Sect management. Although Nangong Li was the Outer Sect Elder, she wouldn't interfere with Inner Sect matters unless it was a special situation.

This was the rule and the unspoken agreement among the higher-ups of the sect.

But it was different if the culprit was an Outer Sect disciple.

Nangong Li didn't like Chu Bai, but no matter what, he was still Azure Cloud Sect's Heavenly Dao Disciple.

Nangong Li understood and said, "Alright, I will arrange for the Outer Sect Enforcement Hall to capture him. Once we get the results from the interrogation, I will inform you."

After saying this, Nangong Li's body twisted slightly, indicating that Chu Bai should continue.

Chu Bai: ???

He thought, "Is my little aunt already so skilled?"

He didn't mind showing his gratitude. He took off his gloves, collected the evidence, and stood back on the high seat.

After a while, Chu Bai remembered that he hadn't thanked her yet. He smiled again and said, "Thank you, Aunt. But there's no need to capture him anymore. I've already killed Zhao Qing."

Nangong Li: "Hmm."

"..."

"Hmm?!"

Nangong Li's eyes, which had just closed, suddenly opened wide. "What did you say? You said you killed someone?!"

Chu Bai said, "I didn't expect him to be so weak. Zhao Qing was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, while I was at the fifth level. My original plan was to subdue him and ask why he wanted to kill me. We had only met once and exchanged less than ten sentences. I never expected that he wouldn't even be able to block one of my attacks."

Chu Bai's words made sense. After all, it sounded a bit far-fetched for someone at the fifth level of Qi Refining to kill someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining with just one sword strike.

But Nangong Li understood him. Based on his actions and behavior, Chu Bai vs. Zhao Qing, from the beginning, this little thief had no intention of following the rules of the sect.

Nangong Li wanted to jump up in anger, but her shoulders were still being pinched, making her feel tingly and unwilling to lose her temper.

So she coldly snorted, "You said you didn't expect it, but let me ask you, what cultivation technique have you been practicing?"

Chu Bai replied, "Senior Sister Xiao gave it to me, saying it has the effect of nurturing the Spirit Vein."

"What rank is it?"

"Profound Rank Low Level."

"What sword technique did you use to kill someone?"

"The [Cloud Dragon Seven Forms] that you taught me."

"Hmm, the Cloud Dragon Seven Forms is also Profound Rank Low Level."

Nangong Li said, "You used a Profound Rank cultivation technique to activate a Profound Rank sword technique and kill a seventh-level Qi Refining disciple. Do you know what level of cultivation techniques and spells outer disciples can access?"

Chu Bai couldn't say for sure.

"Most of them won't exceed Yellow Rank Middle Level, and High Level is basically the limit."

"Oh..."

With that said, Chu Bai understood.

Although his cultivation level was not as high as Zhao Qing's, he excelled in other aspects. Coupled with the surprise attack, it was not surprising that he could challenge and kill someone of a higher cultivation level with a single sword strike.

Nangong Li sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have taken you to see the bloodshed. You should go to the Law Enforcement Hall and turn yourself in later. I will make sure they treat you leniently."

Chu Bai said, "Oh, I'm not going."

"Killing someone requires paying with your life, and debts must be repaid!"

Chu Bai handed over all the evidence against Zhao Qing.

"I have the Law Enforcement Hall's waist token, so I can be considered a half disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. Outer disciple Zhao Qing has committed serious crimes, and I just couldn't hold back when dealing with him."

On the other side,

After reading the materials that were handed over, Elder Nangong, also known as Nangong Li, had a certain understanding of the disciple named Zhao Qing.

This guy deserves to die.

But that wasn't a reason for her to abuse her power.

Then, Chu Bai said again, "Aunt, there's something else I want to report to you. I think I can make up for my mistakes."

...

Outside the main hall,

On the middle-upper steps, Elder Huaman of Hundred Flowers Peak was crouching there.

With a creak, the door of the main hall opened, and the young man from earlier stepped over the threshold and walked out.

Seeing this, Huaman tidied up his appearance and approached with enthusiasm.

"Young Junior Uncle!"

Chu Bai had just experienced a calamity, and the outcome of "stopping here" was considered not bad.

Hearing the address from his senior uncle, Chu Bai was taken aback, and when he saw the approaching Elder Huaman, he became even more confused.

Senior uncle,

Are there other people here?

Are there other men hiding in Aunt's sleeping quarters?

Who the hell is it?

But this Huaman's target was clearly Chu Bai himself.

"Me?"

Huaman smiled and said, "Of course it's you, Young Junior Uncle Chu Bai, I've seen you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Bai silently calculated and found the logic to be sound. However, before he could react, Elder Huaman had already pulled him down from the main peak of the outer sect.

"This is still our first meeting, Young Junior Uncle. I invite you to come to my Hundred Flowers Peak for a visit."

Hundred Flowers Peak was declining while Chu Bai was a promising young man, and he had already been suspected by his aunt once, so he firmly refused to go.

Huaman didn't insist and found a pavilion, inviting Chu Bai to sit down.

With just a brief contact, Chu Bai's cultivation level of fifth-level Qi Refining was revealed without a doubt.

A fifth-level Qi Refining inner disciple was rare in thousands of years.

Based on this alone, it was certain that this Chu Changge had a strong background, and his identity as Elder Nangong's nephew was confirmed.

Then, Huaman started talking, praising Chu Bai's appearance and demeanor, asking about his marital status, and so on and so forth.
