Eldest Sister Gives Up Cultivating - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Junior Sister’s Night Tuition

Xiao Jinse was very nervous.

After all, she was going to hold an apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow night. Lying on the wooden bed, the words her master said when she brought Senior Sister Bai into the room kept echoing in her mind… “This kind of thing isn’t important!” However, when she replayed it in her mind, the other party’s tone was much harsher. After all, she was just a good-for-nothing who didn’t even have the right to cultivate not long ago. It was understandable that her master would show such an attitude.

Fortunately, there was still a senior sister who cared about her.

The path of cultivation was indeed not easy!

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Xiao Jinse tossed and turned. Only when the moon was in the sky and there was an endless night outside the window did she fall asleep.

After sleeping, Xiao Jinse had a very scary dream!

In the dream, Senior Sister Bai’s strength became stronger and stronger, and the responsibility she needed to bear became greater and greater.

Senior Sister Bai was magnanimous, so she naturally couldn’t care less about her useless junior sister.

As time passed, the two of them gradually distanced themselves. Not only was their relationship not as close as before, but in the end, they rarely saw each other in a year.

In the dream, no matter how hard she cultivated, she still couldn’t catch up to the talented Senior Sister Bai.

How could the sparrow fly with the swan?

Although it was a dream, it was also a cold reality.

Xiao Jinse was so shocked that she woke up in a cold sweat.

She looked up at the empty ceiling, her heart equally empty.

At this moment, a creaking sound suddenly came from the room, like a bamboo chair shaking.

Xiao Jinse was shocked and hurriedly sat up from the bed. She blurted out, “Senior Sister Bai, why are you here?!”

She widened her eyes. Wasn’t the girl sitting in front of the dressing table Bai Lian?

Bai Lian smiled and said, “It’s almost noon. I saw that you haven’t gone out yet, so I was worried that something had happened to you, so I came to take a look.”

Noon?

Xiao Jinse glanced at the bright eyes outside the window and immediately exclaimed.

“Oh no!”

She had clearly said that she couldn’t disappoint Senior Sister Bai’s expectations and that she had to study hard and strive to take the lead in the Newcomer Competition. In the end, she slacked off in just a few days.

Xiao Jinse hurriedly got up from the bed.

She regretted it now. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have slept last night.

This was really embarrassing!

Perhaps it was because of the nightmares, but her entire body was drenched in sweat. Her clothes were messy, and perhaps there was a distasteful smell.

In the corner of the room, Xiao Jinse looked at Bai Lian aggrievedly.

It was as if the other party had just been scolded.

Bai Lian said helplessly, “Let me help you.”

She was afraid that the system would make her “act like a beast” if she continued watching like this.

In Xiao Jinse’s opinion, this was a slightly begrudging but doting gaze. However, she recalled that dream and couldn’t be happy at all.

As she used a spell to clean Xiao Jinse’s body, Bai Lian asked, “Junior Sister, I saw you tossing and turning when you were sleeping. Did you have a nightmare?”

Xiao Jinse hesitated for a long time before saying, “I dreamed that no matter how hard I cultivated, no matter how hard I tried to catch up, I still couldn’t catch up to you, Senior

Bai.”

Wasn’t this the truth? How did it become a nightmare?

If cultivation was compared to a long-distance run, Xiao Jinse was destined to be the leader among her peers. The reason why Bai Lian didn’t directly deem her as the champion was that there were just too many female characters with the potential to be protagonists in this game.

In comparison, Bai Lian’s aptitude could barely squeeze into the middle tier of the cultivation team. It would be strange if Xiao Jinse, who was chasing forward, would be trying to catch up to her instead of the other way around!

Oh.

She understood.

Bai Lian comforted her earnestly, “Junior Sister, in my hometown, there’s a saying that dreams are the opposite of reality!”

Xiao Jinse blinked her big watery eyes. She knew that Senior Sister Bai would comfort her.

Senior Sister Bai was so good.

After washing up, Xiao Jinse mentioned the apprenticeship gift that night.

Bai Lian waved her hand and said, “Junior Sister, you don’t have to be nervous. It’s just a formality anyway.”

That was true.

Xiao Jinse sighed and said, “Master doesn’t value me in the first place. It should be fine even if it’s not that formal.”

Bai Lian shook her head. “Junior Sister, you don’t have to be so humble. Master actually values you very much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have angrily torn…”

As she spoke, Bai Lian shut her mouth.

It was better not to let her junior sister know that An Lan had torn the old man apart with her bare hands.

Xiao Jinse looked at Bai Lian in confusion. What did her master do in anger?

Bai Lian changed her words. “Our master… How should I put it? She’s just a little…”

Bai Lian shut her mouth again and swallowed the word “arrogant”.

The mission option that had just popped up appeared in front of her.

[Mission 1: Tell the truth (Mission Reward: Low-grade Dharma artifact, Fire God Fan)]

[Mission 2: Praise An Lan (Mission Reward: Starlight Meteorite)]

[Mission 3: Change the topic (Mission Reward: Painting+2)]

Bai Lian realized that she had almost fallen into a pit.

Saying that the other party was arrogant in front of her proud master was simply asking for a beating

After pondering for a moment, Bai Lian chose Mission 2.

Because the target was An Lan, at most, it would only result in her buttocks being beaten twice.

It was worth it to be beaten by her master twice if she could obtain the Starlight Meteorite!

Bai Lian coughed lightly and said, “Our master is kind-hearted, shy, and strategic… In short, Master values you very much.”

[Mission completed. Mission reward: Starlight Meteorite]

Xiao Jinse was stunned. What did this have to do with her master taking her seriously?

The girl understood after thinking about it.

Because Senior Sister Bai really couldn’t think of any reason. She could only make up such a sentence to comfort her!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinse felt even more aggrieved.

Cough.

Bai Lian hurriedly changed the topic. “Junior Sister, actually, I came to find you for another reason.”

She handed a piece of paper to Xiao Jinse.

Xiao Jinse took the paper and said in confusion, “Class schedule?”

“That’s right!” Bai Lian walked to the window with her back facing her junior sister. “This is the cultivation course I’ve designed for you.”

Many of the newbies recruited by the Immortal Du Sect had long stepped onto the path to immortality. How could an inexperienced second junior sister defeat them without special training?

January 30.

In the class schedule set by Bai Lian, Second Junior Sister needed to consolidate her cultivation in the first half, accumulate combat experience in the middle, and continue to increase her cultivation in the second half.

Apart from the main class, there were also secondary classes such as choosing suitable weapons.

Xiao Jinse pointed at the white paper and asked, “Senior Sister Bai, it says here there’s a night tuition course about comprehending Dao… What is this?”

Bai Lian said mysteriously, “You’ll understand when the time comes!”

She had thought it through.

These protagonists were best at comprehending things.

If Jiang Ning could comprehend something, there was no reason why her junior sister couldn’t.

Even if she comprehended something small, Xiao Jinse’s strength would increase by leaps and bounds. At that time, the Newcomer Competition would be nothing.

Xiao Jinse :”…”

At night.

Under Bai Lian’s lead, Xiao Jinse arrived at the forbidden array on Qiong Ming Peak nervously.

Just as Bai Lian had said, the process of acknowledging a master was extremely simple.

An Lan, who was eating melon happily, smiled and said, “In the future, you can cultivate with your Senior Sister Bai.”

“Yes, Master!” Xiao Jinse hurriedly replied.

Then, An Lan waved her hand. “Jinse, leave first. I have something to say to your senior.”

Eh?

Why was this happening again?

Xiao Jinse was puzzled, but she didn’t dare to disobey An Lan.

Outside the forbidden array cave, she looked up at the clear night sky. She kept subconsciously imagining what her master and Senior Sister Bai were doing inside.

Half an hour later, footsteps behind her made Xiao Jinse come back to her senses.

So fast!

This was the first thought that flashed across her mind.

She turned around and forced a smile. “Senior Sister Bai.”

This time, Senior Sister Bai’s expression was very normal.

Bai Lian said, “Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let’s start tutoring tonight.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Jinse immediately agreed. This meant that she could be alone with Senior Sister Bai for the whole night.

She lowered her head and walked to Bai Lian’s side. The two of them walked side by side and walked up the stone steps to the top of the mountain.

Smelling the faint fragrance beside her, Xiao Jinse felt dizzy, as if she was drunk. If there was no end to this staircase, she could always accompany Senior Sister Bai like this, right?

An Lan came out of the forbidden array.

She stood on the spot for a long time before quietly following. Night tuition?

She was very curious!

Soon, An Lan went to the window. With the spell, she wasn’t worried that her whereabouts would be exposed.

Under the flickering candlelight, Bai Lian pointed at the chair and said to Xiao Jinse, “Sit!”

After Xiao Jinse sat down in confusion, Bai Lian carefully took off the earring on her right ear as well as her boots.

A pair of smooth jade-like bare feet stepped gently on the wooden floor. Bai Lian said calmly, “Junior Sister, watch carefully!”

Xiao Jinse was a little shy. “Look, where should I look?”

She suddenly recalled that when Senior Sister Bai left Zhu Yan Peak, Martial Aunt Yan Yue had been staring at Senior Sister Bai’s feet intently.

They were indeed beautiful, but how was this related to night tuition?

Bai Lian said, “Look at my feet. To be precise, my heels!”

Were they about to get naughty?

Outside the window, An Lan blinked.

She fished to the side and picked up a piece of braised watermelon out of thin air.

She subconsciously nibbled on the melon and saw Bai Lian walking around the room.

After leaving, An Lan and Xiao Jinse realized that something was wrong at the same time.

“This is…”

A faint inscription fluctuated where Bai Lian walked.

“Dao runes!”

An Lan widened her eyes.

She no longer had the time to pay attention to what Bai Lian said to Xiao Jinse. So the purpose of the night tuition was to let Xiao Jinse comprehend the Dao runes!

Even if she was once an Immortal Heavenly Venerate in the Immortal World, it was not a simple thing to comprehend the Dao runes.

An Lan’s breathing quickened.

She also wanted to join the night tuition!

But…

She was Bai Lian’s master!

Forget it, the view from the window was pretty good. It was pretty good for her to stay here.

An Lan made up her mind to stay here at night in the future.

At this moment, a cracking sound suddenly came from outside the room.

“Who?”

Bai Lian stopped. She put on her earring again and opened the door.
