11: I'll take care of you after Chapter 11.

Leng Qingshuang didn't understand Chen Yan's lewd remarks, but she wasn't a fool who could be easily fooled.

The nameless stele in the Forbidden Ground of the back mountain was her Revered Master's cenotaph, and it was also her only spiritual support within the Taiqing Sword Sect.

But looking at the well-behaved Chen Yan and hearing the genuine feelings in his heart, she found it hard to blame him.

"Go back."

Leng Qingshuang sighed softly and stopped pursuing the matter.

That slender, jade-like hand grabbed Chen Yan by the collar, carrying him all the way back to the bamboo hut as if he were a chick.

Chen Yan: "..."

This move again?

Can't you change the way you carry me?

Don't I have any Face at all?

"Bang!"

The bamboo door shut tightly.

Chen Yan stood quietly in the corner, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Although he didn't dare to speak aloud, his heart had already started muttering.

"It's over, it's over! Revered Master actually isn't angry? Could she be planning to kill me to pay tribute to that nameless stele?"

"Don't! I haven't lived enough yet! The Ninth Peak hasn't become rich yet!"

"I haven't hugged Revered Master's long legs enough... No, I haven't shown enough filial piety yet!"

Leng Qingshuang's sitting posture trembled slightly.

She slowly turned around, and in those cold, clear eyes, the usual iciness was gone, replaced by a trace of imperceptible loneliness.

"Stop letting your imagination run wild; that is your Grandmaster's cenotaph."

Her voice was very soft, and rare in its gentleness.

"Grandmaster?"

Chen Yan was stunned; he had never heard of such a person.

Leng Qingshuang picked up her tea, took a small sip, and continued: "I am an orphan, picked up by your Grandmaster and brought back to the Taiqing Sword Sect when I was a child. Therefore, although we were Revered Master and Disciple, we were like mother and daughter."

"But the heavens envied talent; when your Grandmaster attempted a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm, the Heavenly Tribulation descended, and she suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

"Now, only this cenotaph remains."

Chen Yan seemed to realize something and thought to himself:

"No wonder Revered Master always acts like no one should get close to her; it turns out she was hiding such a heavy burden in her heart."

"Grandmaster has passed away, and Revered Master has been maintaining this entire peak by herself; it must be very hard!"

"But don't worry, Revered Master! From now on, with me, Chen Yan, on the Ninth Peak, you are no longer alone!"

"It's just... why is Grandmaster's name not carved on that stele? Strange..."

[Task completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Movement Technique -- Flowing Light!]

The System's voice suddenly rang out, but before Chen Yan could react, it continued.

[Detected that the Host has a strong desire to care for Revered Master, new task published: I'll Support You From Now On!]

[I'll Support You From Now On: Revered Master is bitter inside, but Revered Master doesn't say it~ As a qualified Rebellious Disciple, you should not only covet her body, but also understand her heart~ Please use the most domineering, most manly tone to tell Revered Master loudly: I'll Support You From Now On! Task completion reward: One Top-Grade Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill!]

Chen Yan: "(꒪ ⌓ ꒪)"

Fine, fine, fine!

Are tasks seamless now?

And when he saw the task content, the corners of his mouth twitched in anger.

Damn it!

System, I beg you to be a human!

You want me to say "I'll support you" to Revered Master?

And in the most domineering, most manly tone?

Can I even be manly right now?

My Revered Master is in the Mahayana Realm!

If she just exhales, I could directly experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

Besides, my pockets are emptier than my Face right now; what am I going to support her with?

Sell my own hundred-plus pounds of flesh?

"Go back to your room and rest."

Just as Chen Yan was complaining in his mind, Leng Qingshuang sighed and told him to go back.

This sigh was extremely light, but it hit Chen Yan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Chen Yan looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw Leng Qingshuang slightly turning her Face, the light of the illumination pearl falling on her stunning side profile, revealing a fragility he had never seen before.

In that instant, Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat!

"Revered Master..."

No matter how strong she is, she is just a lonely woman!

Guarding this dilapidated Ninth Peak alone and having to Face the suppression from other peaks—is it easy for her?

Chen Yan gritted his teeth and steeled his heart.

Screw it!

If I die, I die!

The bold are stuffed to death, the timid are starved to death!

For the Top-Grade Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill, and to be able to hug her thighs legitimately in the future, I'll risk it all!

He lunged forward, looked straight at Leng Qingshuang, and shouted: "Revered Master!"

This shout was so powerful that it even startled Leng Qingshuang.

She frowned and looked back, her eyes cold and displeased: "What are you yelling about?"

Chen Yan looked at Revered Master's slightly angry expression, and the emotions he had built up leaked away by half.

But now that the arrow was on the bow, it had to be fired.

Go for it!

He immediately closed his eyes, looking as if he were facing death, and shouted: "That... from now on... I'll support you..."

His voice got quieter and quieter, eventually becoming as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

If not for Leng Qingshuang's Mahayana Realm cultivation, she probably wouldn't have heard it clearly.

But now, she looked at the blushing Chen Yan and was stunned.

This Rebellious Disciple... what immense courage!

Before she could rebuke him.

Chen Yan was cowardly on the outside, but his restless heart began to broadcast wildly.

"Revered Master~ Don't be sad! Although our Ninth Peak is poor right now, don't bully the young because they are poor!"

"In the future, when your Disciple makes money, I will support you! I'll buy you beautiful immortal dresses and the best Medicinal Pills! I'll raise you to be plump and pretty!"

"Whoever dares to bully you, I'll dig up their ancestral graves!"

"Even if the sky falls, your Disciple will hold it up for you with these hundred-plus pounds!"

"Anyway, as long as I am here, I will never let you suffer any grievances again!"

"Revered Master! From now on, you are no longer alone! You still have me!"

Leng Qingshuang stared blankly at Chen Yan.

In her life, she had heard countless people's flattery, felt countless people's awe, and heard countless people's abuse.

But except for her Revered Master, no one had ever sincerely said to her: "I'll support you."

Let alone saying they would hold up the sky for her or buy her dresses?

And for her, he would even go dig up someone's ancestral grave...

This Rebellious Disciple... is truly crude and vulgar!

But for some reason, Leng Qingshuang only felt a slight sourness in her nose, and her eyes felt a bit hot.

She turned her head away in a panic to hide the glimmer of water that flashed in her eyes.

"Full of nonsense..."

Although it was a rebuke, her voice was clearly much softer.

"Your Dao Heart is impure; copy the 'Scripture of Purity' one hundred... ten times!"

[Task completed! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Top-Grade Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill!]

Hearing the task completion prompt, Chen Yan was overjoyed inside, but on the surface, he pretended to be pitiful: "Yes, Revered Master... Disciple will go copy it now."

Hehe, Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill!

And it's a Top-Grade Medicinal Pill that is hard to come by!

If I auctioned this, I'm afraid I could exchange it for millions of Spirit Stones, right?

But charity begins at home~

Good things should of course be saved for my own Revered Master!

Although Revered Master is already beautiful enough to bubble, she has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and there seem to be fine lines at the corners of her eyes; she needs a good supplement!

Leng Qingshuang heard Chen Yan's inner voice, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes.

Fine lines? How is that possible!

Even though she was indifferent to worldly desires, she was actually feeling a bit nervous at this moment!

Appearance is the thing every woman cares about most!

Chen Yan struck while the iron was hot, brewed a pot of Spirit Tea for Leng Qingshuang, and quietly dissolved the Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill into the water.

"Revered Master, drink some tea and calm your anger."

He picked up the teacup and respectfully handed it to Leng Qingshuang.

Leng Qingshuang glanced at him lightly, took the teacup, lifted the lid, and took a small sip.

The Spirit Tea was warm and moist, carrying a strange fragrance.

As the tea went down her throat, a vast and gentle Life Qi dispersed in her body.

The medicinal power of the Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill flowed along her Meridians to her limbs and bones.

Leng Qingshuang only felt her body warm up, and her cheeks felt tingling.

This is... a Top-Grade Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill?!

Leng Qingshuang's hand holding the teacup tightened, and she looked at Chen Yan, who was copying scriptures at the desk, in surprise, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

He actually... just gave it to her without a word?

This kid, usually stingy, unexpectedly, was very generous to her.

Does he really only care about his Revered Master?

"Rebellious Disciple... meddlesome."

The tea mist curled, blurring her Face.

Chen Yan didn't see that on that cold and stunning Face, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, hooking into an arc that could stun all living things.

Because he was currently copying books and muttering in his heart:

"Hehe, Revered Master ate my pill, so from now on she is my person... Pfft! Still my Revered Master~"

"The Beauty-Preserving Medicinal Pill has a significant effect; Revered Master's skin must be even more tender now~ Tsk tsk! I wonder if there is a chance I can touch it..."

"Those big breasts~ That small waist~ Those long legs~ Slurp! I really want to know what the texture is like..."

"Bang!"

A scripture book flew through the air and accurately hit the back of his head.

Leng Qingshuang scolded with shame and anger: "Your handwriting is sloppy, copy it another hundred times!"

Chen Yan clutched his head and wailed: "Ah~ As you command! Revered Master!"
