Chapter 4: The Fight Between Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and Her Master! (2)
"Hmm."
Su Youwei gave Xiao Jinse a glare.
"I just want to check if Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian's waist is injured," said the second Elder Martial Sister.
Xiao Jinse smiled with pride.
Is this what you call an examination? I'm embarrassed to even expose your true intention!
Ahem.
Your small tricks are meaningless in front of the second elder Martial Sister's keen eyes!
With hands held high, Bai Lian asked, "What are you doing?"
Ahem.
Xiao Jinse took a step back.
"Elder Martial Sister, let me explain…"
She recounted the events that had just taken place at the peak.
"Elder Martial Sister, may I ask why you fought with Shifu?"
Bai Lian gave a nod.
Now that I think of it, she isn't sleepy at all!
It was truly a fierce battle.
Initially, she knocked An Lan down with a straight punch.
Eventually, An Lan retaliated with a fierce counterattack against her.
Although An Lan had an "overwhelming" advantage, her pride and complacency ultimately led to her downfall and cost her the battle.
Bai Lian sealed her counter-kill when she declared her victory.
"Immortal Heavenly Lord, I, Bai Lian, claim the rights to your first kiss!"
Bai Lian's eyes formed into crescents.
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei were left breathless by the smile.
How charming Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is!
Her casual smile is so touching.
"It's not a big deal," said Bai Lian. "Shifu was just testing my strength. She told me not to be conceited in my cultivation, or I'll fall down sooner or later."
"I see."
Xiao Jinse, Su Youwei, and the jade rabbit all nodded in agreement.
They believed, and a sense of relief washed over them.
Bai Lian seized this opportunity to impart wisdom to her younger Martial Sisters, "You are no different. Do not become complacent due to your natural abilities."
"Absolutely! (Haw haw)"
Three resolute shouts echoed through the mountains.
Bai Lian smiled contentedly.
Despite some setbacks and challenges, Qiongming Peak has developed remarkably well.
The younger Martial Sisters share a close bond while their relationship with their shifu is growing stronger day by day.
Her previous efforts have not gone to waste.
Great!
As long as we remain steadfast on this path, there is hope for her ahead.
After bidding farewell to the younger Martial Sisters, Bai Lian returned to her chamber.
She stood at the door and heard a rustle before she could push it open.
There is someone inside the room!
Bai Lian pushed open the door and entered the room.
"Respected Elder Sister!"
Yu Ying, the fourth Martial Sister, turned around with a surprised cry.
The long hair, a shade of water blue, floated in the air like clear waves rippling under the moonlight.
"Youngest Martial Sister, how may I assist you?"
Bai Lian softly called out and her gaze fell upon Yu Ying's bosom, where paintings that were once hung on the wall were now placed.
With a distressed expression on her face, Yu Ying approached Bai Lian.
"Elder Martial Sister, it was absurd how the second and third Elder Martial Sisters behaved!"
Bai Lian was taken aback, "What is the matter?"
Yu Ying expressed her frustration, saying, "It's like this…"
It has just happened.
Su Youwei secretly entered Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian's room before returning to her own.
Upon seeing this, anger rose in her as she discovered that the painting had been moved again, and this time, it was too much.
Initially, there was only one Xiao Jinse painting hanging between her and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian but now, Su Youwei noticed that her painting was hanging on the opposite wall.
What is it?
This is a declaration of war!
She quickly swapped the positions of her painting and Xiao Jinse's painting.
Then…
She and Xiao Jinse went to Bai Lian's room four times, taking turns each time.
They stopped only when the jade rabbit suddenly appeared in front of them.
Yu Ying pouted, "If they keep this up, they might end up damaging your painstakingly painted masterpiece."
Bai Lian, "…"
Yu Ying explained, "I am planning to rearrange the positions of these paintings."
Bai Lian asked, "Where exactly are you planning to hang them?"
Yu Ying demonstrated on the spot.
She quickly went to the wall where the paintings were hanging and put them back on.
The new pattern appears to be…
On the left was Xiao Jinse, on the right was Su Youwei, An Lan was at the top, and Bai Lian was in the middle.
Bai Lian was smiled shyly at by Yu Ying.
Bai Lian attempted to expand this new method and then put the fourth and fifth Martial Sisters under her guidance.
The paintings formed a star shape (★).
What is this?
As expected, she should draw the family portrait as soon as possible as this placement method takes up too much space.
After Yu Ying left the room, Bai Lian happily lay on the bed.
She wanted to sleep, but she wasn't feeling sleepy at all.
As soon as she closed her eyes, memories of what had happened in the cave flooded her mind, and she couldn't help but recall some images from the game.
"Puff~"
After taking a deep breath, Bai Lian got up from the bed once again.
She walked over to the table, spread out the new family portrait, and after careful consideration, she began to sketch the outline of An Lan using a brush.
She was so absorbed in her drawing that she almost lost track of time, until a hazy light appeared on the horizon.
An Lan appeared, having just slain several demons. As a result, the burning sensation in her body finally subsided, and her divine sense returned to its normal state.
"I had thought that I was old."
As she collapsed beside the twisted neck tree outside of Bai Lian's home, An Lan muttered under her breath.
Her movements were so light and graceful that Bai Lian couldn't detect her presence at all.
She walked over to the window.
The lights flickered and Bai Lian found herself alone in the room.
"Didn't she have a night class today?" An Lan asked.
Despite her complaint, An Lan couldn't help but notice a slight upward arc on the corners of her mouth.
Bai Lian was painting her, which made her feel particularly flustered.
Ha ↑
This painting is terribly unattractive.
(Her smile widens even more.)
It cannot be compared to the painting gifted to her by Yan Yue.
Never mind.
Let her draw if she enjoys it.
Quietly, An Lan turned and left.
The night gradually grew darker.
Upon returning to the cave, An Lan received a message from the sect leader.
"Has the time come for the sect leader to finally cross the Guafeng Disaster?"
After quickly glancing at the information on the jade slip, she tidied up her clothes in front of the water mirror and flew to Yunluo Peak, having confirmed that there were no abnormalities on her body.
