Chapter 277 Half an hour
Qingyun Hall.
A man with a frosty, snow-white appearance sat by the window, a book on the table.
The man had a cold expression, his eyes lowered as he looked at the book; the only sound in the hall was the turning of the pages.
Several exceptionally handsome young men were also in the hall.
Si Qingxuan and Shen Wenchun were also looking down at their books.
One had a face as beautiful as jade, and the other was dignified and polite.
Su Mo was fiddling with the purple bottle in his hand.
Gu Yan glanced at Immortal Venerable Jiqing, then at Si Qingxuan and the others, and stood up with a look of irritation on his face.
"Master, when is Junior Brother coming? Tsk, the sun is almost setting."
Shen Wenchun and Su Mo paused and looked up.
Si Qingxuan didn't look up, casually flipping through a page with a cold expression.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at Gu Yan, then at the sky, and said calmly, "It will be soon."
Almost there, almost there, almost there! The sun is about to set.
Gu Yan couldn't sit still any longer and paced back and forth in the main hall.
They either flip through books or touch the ornaments.
There were no interesting items in Qingyun Palace, and Gu Yan lost interest after looking at them for a while.
He kept pacing back and forth, muttering to himself.
"Why isn't junior brother here yet? Why isn't junior brother here yet...?"
"Should we go pick up our junior brother...?"
......
After dinner.
Several little ones were lying on a blanket next to the fireplace.
He patted his belly and kept burping.
The Taotie, clutching its round, bulging belly, spat out a few chicken bones.
After resting for a while, Yun Ci saw that it was still early and decided to prepare some light dishes to take to Qingyun Palace to present to Immortal Venerable Jiqing.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing helped him a lot; otherwise, he would always feel indebted to him.
The sun wouldn't set for a while, so Yunci made salted egg yolk baked shrimp, stir-fried mushrooms with sliced pork, steamed starfish, and shrimp, kelp, and tofu soup.
The rich aroma made the little ones' mouths water again.
But my belly was already round and I couldn't eat any more.
......
Dusk is approaching.
Yun Ci packed the food he had brought to Immortal Venerable Ji Qing and took out the Nine Heavens Travel Book.
Chu Ziming was originally going to go as well.
Yun Ci was afraid that Chu Zimo wouldn't be able to get in.
With Chu Ziming's stubborn nature, he insisted on sitting outside all night.
It was too cold outside, so Yun Ci didn't let Chu Zimo come along.
Dissatisfied, Chu Ziming pounced on Yun Ci and threw her onto the bed... tickling her.
......
Qingyun Hall.
"Little junior brother!"
When Gu Yan saw Yun Ci, he immediately ran over, his face, with its sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, radiating a captivating smile.
Yun Ci looked at Gu Yan, nodded, and then looked at the others.
There are so many people today.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing's expression was cold and aloof as he said in a calm voice, "Come here."
Yun Ci blinked, remembered the food she had brought, and took it out.
"This is the dinner I just made: salted egg yolk baked shrimp, stir-fried mushrooms with sliced pork, steamed starfish, and shrimp, kelp, and tofu soup. They are all relatively light dishes."
As she spoke, Yun Ci turned to look at Gu Yan and the others, "Do you want to eat?"
Since everyone's here, let's eat something together.
"Mmm, yes, yes, yes."
Gu Yan nodded eagerly, smelling the aroma.
"It's delicious."
Gu Yan put his arm around Yun Ci's shoulder.
I get to eat my junior brother's cooking again, hehe.
Yun Ci felt her shoulders being pressed down, and she immediately pushed Gu Yan away unhappily, "Don't press me down, or I'll stunt my growth!"
He's going to be a man who's 1.8 meters tall!
Gu Yan was also unhappy, "You always made me drive you."
Si Qingxuan, Shen Wenchun, and Su Mo also came over.
Yun Ci and Gu Yan were bickering.
The atmosphere inside the main hall became lively.
Shen Wenchun walked over and tried to mediate, saying, "Fifth Junior Brother, Junior Brother, don't quarrel and hurt each other's feelings."
Even so, Shen Wenchun stood beside Yun Ci.
Yun Ci still had a good impression of Shen Wenchun, and with someone backing her up, she immediately became arrogant and domineering.
Her fair face was slightly raised, and her hands were on her hips.
Shen Wenchun couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, let's go purify the demonic energy first."
"Immortal Venerable Jiqing spoke."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ci's smug expression shattered like glass. She looked at Immortal Venerable Ji Qing and murmured...
"Immortal Venerable, won't you eat first?"
Immortal Venerable Jiqing spoke up, "We'll eat later; purifying the demonic energy is more important."
Yun Ci's expression was as if the sky had fallen, and she hurriedly waved her hands, saying...
"No, no, no, I'm not in a hurry. Immortal Venerable, please eat first. As the saying goes, 'Man is made of iron, and food is made of steel.' You'll get hungry if you skip a meal. How can you not eat?"
As for purifying demonic energy, Yun Ci adhered to the principle of delaying as much as possible, resolutely stalling for time.
Seeing that Immortal Venerable Jiqing still hadn't sat down, Yun Ci's impatient and demanding nature kicked in. She grabbed Immortal Venerable Jiqing's arm and pulled him towards the chair, saying, "Immortal Venerable, please sit down, please sit down."
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing was tall and imposing.
At nearly 1.9 meters tall, Yun Ci was like a giant.
Yun Ci's act of pulling Ji Qing Immortal Venerable and throwing a tantrum was exceptionally vivid and adorable.
The people in the hall looked at Yun Ci with deep, unsettling eyes.
They wished they could hold their favorite disciple, their junior brother, in their arms right now.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing paused for a moment, looked at Yun Ci with affection, and sat down on the stool following Yun Ci's lead.
Seeing this, Si Qingxuan frowned slightly, his expression turning even colder.
This is right.
Yun Ci was satisfied.
"Immortal Venerable, please eat quickly. No, you all eat slowly, there's no rush," Yun Ci said.
Si Qingxuan paused for a moment, then picked up his chopsticks.
"Junior brother, aren't you going to eat?"
"Yes, I've already eaten."
While Immortal Venerable Jiqing and Si Qingxuan were eating, Yun Ci sat beside them, looking at the books on the table.
Several people were gathered around the table.
The scene was strangely harmonious and familiar, and the incense in the main hall, resembling snow-capped mountains and ice lotuses, brought a sense of peace to the room.
Yun Ci turned the pages of the book.
The way the immortals Jiqing, Si Qingxuan, and Shen Wenchun moved their chopsticks was a feast for the eyes, making it impossible to look away.
Su Mo and Gu Yan shoveled their food into their mouths.
As Yun Ci watched, she began to feel bored.
These books are not as interesting as storybooks, and they don't have any illustrations.
Seeing Gu Yan finish his meal, Yun Ci blurted out, "Fifth Senior Brother, let's go out and play."
After he finished speaking, the people in the hall were all stunned.
Yun Ci was also taken aback.
Why would he think Gu Yan would take him out to play?
He didn't want to purify the demonic energy so quickly; he secretly hoped Gu Yan would take him out to play...
Why would I have this thought...?
Gu Yan nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll take you to the place we used to go..."
"Don't go."
Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice came from the side.
"He still needs to purify the demonic energy in a while. Where are you going to take him? He's young, and you don't know any better."
Si Qingxuan raised his eyes to look at Gu Yan, his eyes icy cold.
Gu Yan opened his mouth, but immediately slunk away and fell silent.
Junior brother, senior brother is terrifying!
I can't save you now. Good luck to you.
Yun Ci stared incredulously at Gu Yan, who was avoiding his gaze.
A similar image suddenly flashed through my mind...
*
When Yun Ci sat upright, cross-legged, meditating in the main hall.
His face still showed a look of confusion.
How come they finished eating so quickly...?
Did he do too little?
Seeing Immortal Venerable Jiqing take out the black bead, Yun Ci seemed to see something that terrified him, and for a moment he felt like crying but couldn't. He began to negotiate with Immortal Venerable Jiqing.
"Immortal Venerable, may we purify for just a quarter of an hour today?"
"No, purify for half an hour today."
Before Immortal Venerable Jiqing could speak, Si Qingxuan coldly said.
As he spoke, he looked at Immortal Venerable Jiqing and frowned slightly, "Master, you also know that the longer demonic energy accumulates in the body, the greater the possibility of going into demonic possession."
"You big devil!"
Yun Ci looked at Si Qingxuan in disbelief.
Half an hour!!!
This could have killed him!
Gu Yan nodded in agreement.
No wonder the junior brother isn't afraid of the master, but is afraid of the senior brother!
It was another slap on the hand, and another...
"Immortal Venerable, don't listen to him." Yun Ci looked at Immortal Venerable Ji Qing.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing did not answer directly, but instead said,
“Accumulating demonic energy for too long will indeed hinder your cultivation. Let’s add another quarter of an hour today.”
Yun Ci, "!!!"
