CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 123: QING JUN STEAMED BUNS, SUSHU VISITS

Or is it... because of that inexplicably familiar scent on him, and those two little girls who bore some resemblance to her childhood, yet were completely different?

Bai Susu herself couldn’t quite understand it.

She only knew that these days, she couldn’t help but run towards Baiqi Garden.

Yesterday, she even specially gifted Chen Ye with a few Spirit Plants left by her father.

But as a result, like throwing buns to a dog, they never came back!

"Hmph! It must be those two little girls pestering him! Don’t they know any sense of hierarchy! When he comes, I must give him a good punishment!"

Bai Susu gritted her teeth, a fierce light flickering in her amber eyes.

With her hands behind her back, she paced back and forth in front of the hut, the fallen leaves crunching under her feet.

After waiting for another while, Chen Ye’s shadow was still nowhere to be seen.

Bai Susu finally grew impatient. She looked up at the sky, and the sun had already risen higher.

"That’s it! I’m done waiting! I want to see how a steward dares to make me, a True Inheritor, wait for him!"

The more Bai Susu thought about it, the more resentful she became. She stomped her foot, and her golden figure turned into a streak of light, unable to hold back any longer, flying angrily towards the Luoli Courtyard.

She wanted to see what kind of nonsense her servant was up to!

...

In the Luoli Courtyard, Chen Ye was still teaching his two disciples the Flying Sword technique.

In this rare warm teaching moment, a streak of golden light suddenly shot down from the sky, landing domineeringly in the center of the courtyard.

The light dispersed, revealing Bai Susu’s delicate yet slightly angry little face.

She stood with her hands on her hips, the golden fox fur slightly flaring upon landing, accentuating her petite figure yet imposing aura.

Bai Susu’s willow brows arched, her amber eyes glaring fiercely at Chen Ye, with a tone full of accusation:

"How dare you! Making me wait for over a two-hour period in Baiqi Garden for nothing! Speak up! Are you itching for a taste of my Geng Metal Qi?"

Chen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

This Bai Susu must be out of her mind, right?

He only went to Baiqi Garden for work, why wouldn’t she let it go?

Chen Ye didn’t dare to offend, so he put away the Iron Sword and replied courteously:

"Junior Martial Uncle Bai, I’ve already completed the task at Baiqi Garden, there’s no need to return to Baiqi Garden."

Bai Susu glanced disdainfully at Qing Jun, who was earnestly trying to sense Spiritual Power with a puffed face, and Zhiwei, who stood coolly holding the Canchen Sword beside her.

But she only grew angrier inside: "Hmph? Not going to Baiqi Garden means you’re playing house with these two little girls?"

"Master isn’t playing house! We’re learning a very powerful Flying Sword technique!"

Qing Jun was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

She’d never had a good impression of this sudden intruder, who looked like a golden-haired fox spirit, and now dared to badmouth her master.

She instantly puffed her cheeks and retorted sharply.

Zhiwei also silently placed the Xiaohan Sword protectively in front of her, her cool gaze vigilantly watching Bai Susu, though she said nothing, the protective intent was unmistakable.

"Oh?"

Bai Susu was not only unoffended by these two little girls’ defiance, but rather intrigued.

It had been years since anyone dared to defy her.

Though her father was gone, the Bai family still held a significant position in the Lingyin Sect.

She examined Qing Jun and Zhiwei with interest, especially their seemingly unremarkable Flying Swords, clicking her tongue in astonishment:

"Aren’t those the Xiaohan Canchen swords? The Mao family heirlooms? What a pity... like casting pearls before swine, giving them to two young girls who haven’t even touched the threshold of Sword Control!"

Qing Jun tilted her small face: "But... sister, aren’t you also a young girl?"

In that instant, Bai Susu’s fair cheeks visibly flushed red.

But she quickly caught her breath and raised her chin: "I’m a young girl? Then what about your master? Your master even called me an old woman!"

"!" Qing Jun.

"?" Zhiwei.

"..."

Chen Ye inwardly thought this was not good, how did Bai Susu know?

She wouldn’t have been bored enough to spy on me, would she?
