Chapter 48: Relaxing time when taking the kids out for a walk
The spring is bright and the sky is clear.
It is a good time of the year, the Lishan Mountains are in spring, the mountains are covered with fresh green, like a green brocade carpet. Flowers and plants bloom, butterflies dance, and streams flow, making the mountain full of vitality.
He Lingyun squatted behind a cluster of bushes, curled up as much as he could, pushed aside the branches whose leaves were not very dense, and secretly observed the gate of Jinling Sect in the distance.
She hesitated whether to visit openly and ask Senior Brother Wen directly whether he had seen Junior Sister Luan in the past few days.
He Lingyun did think so when he came out of Lishan Immortal Sect, but when he arrived at the gate of Jinling Sect, he retreated for no reason. As a result, he hid here and observed quietly, hoping to run into Senior Brother Wen going out, pretending to meet him by chance, and after a casual greeting, casually ask questions.
Having misunderstood Senior Brother Wen time and again, He Lingyun did not want to make the same mistake again and give Senior Brother Wen the impression that he still did not completely trust him.
A few days ago, after Luan Qingyu advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and failed in his challenge against her, he felt so aggrieved and frustrated that he almost cried. This time, He Lingyun did not hide anything as she did during the sect competition, and recommended Brother Wen Ruiwen, whom she considered a good brother.
He Lingyun firmly believed that with Big Brother Wen's cunning... ahem... wisdom, whatever Master Caiyun couldn't do, Big Brother Wen would definitely be able to do, and Junior Sister Luan's troubles would be easily solved.
As a result, the resolute Junior Sister Luan, perhaps out of desperation, ran to the Jinling Sect for help that day, but was turned away. She came back and complained to He Lingyun.
Hearing that Junior Sister Luan was turned away, He Lingyun felt sorry for her, but at the same time, he also felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
Junior Sister Luan is not the type of person who gives up easily. She went there several times but was repeatedly rejected. However, just half a month ago, she said bitterly that she would go there for the last time, but she never came back and there has been no news since then.
In the first two days, He Lingyun thought that Senior Brother Wen was finally willing to help, and she was happy for Junior Sister Luan but also a little disappointed. However, after more than half a month, she became a little restless.
Junior Sister Luan and Senior Brother Wen have been together for such a long time. What are they doing?
Practitioners who can live for hundreds or thousands of years generally have a slow sense of the passage of time. But for ordinary people, if a beautiful girl goes to find a strong man and does not return for one night, it would arouse people's speculation.
It took He Lingyun half a month to realize that something was wrong. In fact, her reaction was quite quick. If both of them were not people she cared about very much, it would be normal for her to notice something unusual after a year or two.
He Lingyun, who had transformed from an immortal crane, had a slender figure. According to modern standards, she was 1.95 meters tall, slightly taller than Wen Rui. Fortunately, her body was very well-proportioned, but her appearance was a little childish, giving her a bit of a baby-faced little giant feel.
With such a big body, hiding behind the bushes, despite trying hard to curl up with his knees, he still seemed to be hiding his head and tail, which made his efforts to hide only make him more conspicuous.
He had been squatting here for a long time. Even as a cultivator, he felt a little sore in his waist and back from curling up all the time. However, He Lingyun had not seen any signs of the Jinling Sect's gate opening for a long time.
Thinking back to Senior Brother Wen's usual behavior, He Lingyun felt more and more that it was stupid for her to hide here. However, she could not muster up the courage to walk directly to the door, as if she was afraid of seeing the scene that she most did not want to see.
Because there is always a junior sister who dislikes him and wants to secretly put him in a sack and do something bad to him, Wen Rui has always been a mysterious figure in the Lishan Mountains. He always travels in tunnels, and the chance of encountering him on the ground is close to zero.
He Lingyun was lurking at the gate of Jinling Sect because he had unrealistic expectations. After all, Senior Brother Wen only went underground after he left the gate, so there was only a very short window of opportunity to meet him on the ground.
Waiting like this was not a solution. He Lingyun was extremely conflicted. He bit his lips with his silver teeth and considered very seriously whether he should go back and wait for a few more days, or muster up the courage to go forward and knock on the door.
Just as she hesitated, the gate of Jinling Sect slowly opened, and Wen Rui walked out leisurely in the familiar dirty white coat. He Lingyun couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly stood up, wanting to greet him and talk to him.
However, before she could stand up completely, a series of "swish" sounds of clothes breaking in the wind were heard, and a dozen girls in colorful clothes suddenly jumped out from nowhere, surrounded Wen Rui and blocked the door.
He Lingyun actually recognized the leader. They were the black and white beauties from Caiyun Peak, the black-clothed Ya Yan Ge and the white-clothed Ge Ge Shi Yu.
There were a dozen girls, all of them were junior sisters from various mountains in Lishan. Most of them were disciples from East and West Xiuling, and there were also quite a few disciples from Caiyun Peak. There were also a few junior sisters from Xianshuichi, Jinghuaze and Zixuandong mixed in.
As soon as he opened the door, so many beautiful junior sisters came to greet him warmly. Wen Rui was also shocked by this group of beautiful girls who suddenly appeared.
“Hehehe!” Ya Yan Ge’s hoarse and loud voice sounded: “Wen, I thought you were going to be a coward for the rest of your life. You have the guts to play tricks on us, but why don’t you have the courage to open the door!”
"Before, they tortured our bodies by drawing blood and plucking hair, and now they torture our minds with crappy exams. They're playing with us in various ways from the outside to the inside, right?"
"Please cancel the examination system! I want to go to heaven and earth to have fun!"
"The test is so difficult, how can we possibly get enough points to exchange for spirit stones and tickets? Protest, protest!" "Why are you still talking nonsense to him? Beat him up and vent your anger first!"
For a moment, the crowd was excited, and the shouts of the junior sisters rose one after another, resounding through the sky.
Seeing the public complaints, Wen Rui didn't care at all. With a disdainful smile on his face, he stretched out both hands, raised his middle fingers, and gestured in circles at the demonstrators. He was so arrogant.
That sarcasm of "I just like the fact that you guys are unhappy with me but can't do anything about it" really made He Lingyun, who was hiding far away, angry, and he really wanted to go up and hit him with a stick.
Wen Rui made the "international friendly gesture", but it did not further intensify the conflict, because he had often made this gesture before.
Wen Rui's explanation at the time was: "This is the Jinling Sect's greeting gesture, similar to the Taoist bow. The raised middle finger is like a sword tip, representing the Jinling Sect's sharp gold energy. At the same time, the middle finger is located in the middle of the five fingers, and when it is raised, it cuts off the fist, representing the Jiejiao's intention to intercept the Heavenly Dao."
What he said seemed to make sense, and even though the masters and disciples of the Lishan Immortal Sect always felt that something was wrong, they gradually accepted it over time.
"As I said, it's hard to find a three-legged crow, but there are many two-legged junior sisters everywhere. If you don't want to learn, there are many junior sisters to learn from you!"
Wen Rui raised his middle finger and asked loudly, "What's so difficult about the test questions? It's been this difficult for so many years. Don't talk nonsense. It's also important to spread the knowledge of Jiejiao... What's so difficult? Sometimes you should look for the reasons yourself. Have your points increased in these days? Have you studied hard?"
This question was more lethal than giving a middle finger. Many junior sisters' eyes turned red when they heard it. They were rubbing their hands and gritting their teeth, and some even took out sacks and sticks.
Just as the enraged junior sisters were about to rush forward and start a brutal beating, a group of young boys suddenly rushed out of the Jinling Sect's gate. The weird kids from Dandelion Primary School rushed out and protected Wen Rui in the middle.
"Don't bully Daddy!"
"Humph, those test questions are very simple. You stupid sisters, you don't study hard and blame Principal Wen. You are really bad!"
"That's right, if you're stupid, just learn more!"
"Stupid, lazy, and playful, they are really too much. I don't want to become such a monster when I grow up."
……
The girls who were eager to try suddenly stopped charging, and stood there in shock, at a loss as to what to do next.
In terms of combat power, any Jindan-level disciple of the Lishan Immortal Sect present could defeat all the little demons, but after being taught so earnestly by the Lishan Old Mother and having pure natures, they could not bring themselves to harm young children.
The furry demon children had innocent faces and spoke sincere words. Many of the angry sisters couldn't help but start to doubt themselves, wondering if it was really as the children said and they should reflect on their own lack of effort instead of blaming Wen Rui.
Otherwise, how could these monks who claim to be noble and extraordinary not be able to learn something that even children can learn?
"Anyone who is not convinced, please step forward!"
Wen Ruiren relied on the kid's power and proudly puffed out his chest and said, "Compare your test scores with the fourth generation disciples of my Jinling Sect and see if you, the old ladies who have lived for hundreds of years, can get higher test scores than these little kids!"
All the junior sisters could not help but lower their heads in embarrassment. Some of them, feeling guilty, quietly took a step back, wanting to hide in the crowd, not daring to be the first to stand out.
"You can't even beat an elementary school student, and you still have the nerve to make noise at the gate of my Jinling Sect? If you are not good at it, then practice more. If you can't afford to lose, then don't play. Anyway, if you want to have fun in Tianshang Renjian, you have to abide by the rules I set."
Wen Rui was in a strong position and refused to give in. "Today I am taking students on a spring outing and setting up an outdoor class. If you continue to disrupt the school's teaching order, I will deduct your conduct points, and you will never have the chance to get a ticket to Heaven on Earth in the future!"
Hearing that Rui had the children's human shield to protect him, all the Lishan sisters gave up the idea of resorting to violence. Then being threatened with deducting points dealt a heavy blow to their morale. The girls looked at each other, and even though they were unwilling, they had no choice but to disperse in frustration.
After sending his junior sister away without a fight, Wen Rui took steps like a victorious general, leading a group of little demons towards the lush forest nearby.
The little demons had good organizational skills. Soon, a class committee member stood up to direct the children to line up in an orderly manner. Other class committee members started singing, and the tender voices of children sang a cheerful song: "...The spring rain fills the pond and calls the water lilies. The spring flowers bloom with the twittering swallows. The spring breeze is full of pride for the young..."
The singing was melodious, the scenery was beautiful, the little demons were cute, and it was a harmonious scene full of hope. He Lingyun, who was hiding on the side, was fascinated by the song and seemed to be drunk by the song. He suddenly sobered up when the team walked away.
She quickly stood up and followed closely behind the team, thinking of finding an opportunity to talk privately with Senior Brother Wen about the whereabouts of Junior Sister Luan.
