128: Chapter 128 Reunion with the Beauty

Soon, only four people remained in the hall.

Chu Linger's cheeks were flushed as she constantly sought credit from her Senior Brother and Revered Master: "How was I? Linger did well this time, didn't she?"

Jin Chuan, his face full of smiles, stepped forward and rubbed her head: "Of course, our little Junior Sister has truly grown up."

Yellow Ox also wore a slight smile.

But the smile was fleeting; as he looked at the leaf in his hand, the gravity in his eyes deepened.

"Linger, where did you find this piece of paper?"

Chu Linger brought out the excuse Xu Changsheng had prepared for her long ago and giggled:

"This disciple heard Senior Brother say a spatial event occurred at Huangniu Mountain. Driven by curiosity, I went there for a stroll and then just picked it up."

Upon hearing this.

Yellow Ox looked at True Person Jin Niu, his eyelids slightly lowered: "Jin Chuan, didn't you say you searched the place clean?"

The latter immediately broke into a cold sweat: "This, that, there might have been some oversights."

Without pursuing the blame, he said kindly to Chu Linger: "Linger, you did well. You could be called the savior of all the Cultivators in Yellow Ox Immortal City."

Hearing these words.

The latter's face turned slightly red, thinking to herself that it was all Master's credit.

Suddenly remembering she hadn't helped her Master last time: "Doesn't Master intend to give Linger some rewards?"

Yellow Ox patted the armrest: "Give, of course I'll give. What do you want?"

Jin Chuan seemed to have guessed something: "Could it be that what Junior Sister wants is the complete Wild Bull Strength?"

Chu Linger smiled sweetly: "Junior Sister has wanted to practice Body Refining for a long time, but Senior Brother has always been unwilling."

Yellow Ox did not hesitate at all. He patted his Storage Pouch and gave a classic text to Chu Linger.

She happily stored it in her Storage Pouch.

Feeling there was still something lacking, he took out another bag of Spirit Stones and threw it to Chu Linger.

"Linger, the Cultivation Technique should have been given to you anyway. There are fifty thousand Spirit Stones here, which should be enough for you to Cultivate to the second level of Wild Bull Strength."

"Thank you, Master."

To her surprise, there was an unexpected bonus. Chu Linger's eyes curved into crescent moons.

She thought to herself: "When I go back, I'll split it fifty-fifty with Master. No, thirty-seventy. Master gets seventy, and thirty is enough for me."

Seeing Chu Linger happy.

A sense of joy also naturally rose in Huang Shaotian's heart.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Father, I also felt this Xiong Meng was not a good person, which is why I stood up. Yet you still scolded me."

Huang Jinglong showed a gratified smile: "Yes, my son has also grown up. These old bones of mine didn't see things as clearly as you all did."

"Then could you also grant your child one request?"

"Of course. With me, you can make any request you like."

"I want to join your sect and become your disciple."

"Why? If you want your father's Legacy, I will teach you personally. Otherwise, being known as my disciple will draw a lot of attention to you."

As far as he knew, the Demonic Path and his arch-enemies had already shifted their attention to disciples like Chu Linger and Fourth Disciple.

"No, your child simply wants to take his father as his Master."

After saying this.

His gaze unconsciously drifted toward Chu Linger.

The latter once again felt his greasy gaze. She couldn't help but feel her skin crawl and hurriedly turned her head the other way.

"Very well, Father agrees."

Huang Jinglong nodded.

Just then.

A voice like a tinkling spring came through.

"Immortal Revered Master Yellow Ox, I heard the Huangtian Houtu Formation has been cracked?"

Turning around.

A graceful and beautiful mature woman dressed in purple robes approached, walking with light, lotus-like steps.

"Yes, Immortal Master Guo, you've come at the right time. I was just planning to discuss modifying the formation with you."

He dismissed everyone.

Leaving only himself and Immortal Master Guo.

He took out the leaf: "Look at this."

The latter glanced at it, lightly covering her enchanting purple lips.

...

One month later.

Huangniu Mountain.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Chu Linger vividly recounted her experience at the City Lord's Manor.

"Revered Master, you are too amazing. Your Servant Girl has never felt as satisfied as I did that day. That Xiong Meng, you didn't see his face when he bit the dust—it was truly hilarious."

Xu Changsheng did not reply, listening quietly.

He hadn't expected that after intentionally delaying for so long to avoid the spotlight, Chu Linger's memory would still be so fresh.

Moreover, he discovered that Chu Linger had a bit of a talkative streak.

She spoke incessantly for an hour before finally coming to a stop.

"Uh, I've been talking for too long."

She patted her waist and took out the Wild Bull Strength and a Storage Pouch.

"Right, Revered Master gave me Wild Bull Strength as a reward, along with fifty thousand Spirit Stones. I'll split it with Revered Master ninety-ten; there are forty-five thousand Spirit Stones inside."

Xu Changsheng smiled slightly, picked up the Wild Bull Strength, and flipped through a few pages at random.

He muttered to himself: "Though it's not bad, it can only be Cultivated to the Early Stage of the fourth rank. If I can't find anything better later, it can be used."

He reached out and touched the Storage Pouch; with a flash of red light, he handed it back.

"We'll split the Spirit Stones fifty-fifty."

"Uh... okay."

Chu Linger felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at Xu Changsheng's face, her eyes shining brightly.

The latter touched his chin and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Chu Linger's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head.

"Strange."

Xu Changsheng seemed to have seen this expression before but didn't look into it too deeply, because at that moment, the communication talisman in his hand suddenly began to vibrate.

His expression changed.

"Why is she here?"

Chu Linger was confused: "Revered Master, what's wrong?"

His brow furrowed slightly: "An old friend has arrived. I might have to trouble you to leave through the tunnel behind the Immortal Cave."

"Okay."

Chu Linger didn't ask further and stood up.

Just then.

Rumble.

The door to the Immortal Cave actually opened on its own.

Seeing this.

Xu Changsheng narrowed his eyes and looked toward the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

"It's too late."

He used Divine Sense to transmit instructions to Chu Linger.

The latter knew something unexpected had happened and nodded obediently, her face, which had been full of spring-like warmth, turning into the cold expression seen by outsiders.

Just then.

A green shadow flew in from the entrance of the Immortal Cave with lightning speed.

It came to a halt.

The massive Spirit Beast occupied a third of the hall's space.

It was Ink Shadow.

He shook his head helplessly: "You little brat, how dare you let someone in without my permission."

Ink Shadow flapped its wings and squawked incessantly: "They, Ink Shadow, knows, Revered Master, just happened, to be in, Immortal Cave."

"Of course I know you know them, and I'm in the cave too, but that's no reason for you to open the cave door at will. Don't ever do it again."

Ink Shadow raised a claw, scratched its furry head, and then nodded.

Suddenly, an exotic fragrance wafted in, and a slightly magnetic female voice spoke: "What's this? Brother Xu, we haven't seen each other for so long, and it feels like you don't welcome us at all."

"Sister Tang, no wonder he hasn't looked for you in nearly ten years; it feels like he's completely forgotten about the two of us."

A bright red, slender figure pulling a deep blue skirt entered the hall.

She saw Xu Changsheng at a glance, as well as Chu Linger beside him.

Crimson Rainbow immediately gritted her teeth: "Xu Changsheng! You're shameless!"
