Chapter 151: Stray Cats and Dogs (Fei Ding +1)
“What? Sect Master Su, you say I have disciples practicing demonic arts in my Zen sect? Hehe, Amitabha, why don’t you come to my Zen sect for a visit? I’ll personally enlighten you!”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Sect Master Su, have you lost your mind? My Black Blade Sect could never have disciples practicing demonic arts. You… you can’t be looking for an excuse to hold another sect competition, right? No need to bother; your Sword Sect has already won!”
“What? You’re the Sword Sect’s master? Get lost! Just get out!”
…
Su Qinian sat cross-legged, holding his sword, staring at the gilded ceiling of the main hall of the sect, speechless and choked with emotion.
“Truly, the world is going downhill, and people’s hearts are no longer what they used to be… My Sword Sect is a renowned major sect in the Cangyun Realm, yet we’re being squeezed by these other sects like this!”
In just half a day, he had notified a bunch of sects, warning them that there might be disciples practicing demonic arts among them, urging them to conduct self-checks.
He couldn’t just go to their territory to help them investigate.
He wasn’t that free, nor did he have the time.
Even if he were that free and had the time, those sects would have to let him in… He’d probably be intercepted by the elders before he even got close to their mountain gate.
“Good words can’t persuade a dead ghost! Tsk…”
Su Qinian snorted coldly.
He had notified both large and small sects.
The smaller sects held a certain reverence for a major sect like his, so they all agreed to self-check. However, he knew that most of these smaller sects would only agree verbally and wouldn’t actually follow through.
Among the major sects, the Dan Sect and Lingxi Valley expressed that they would seriously check their disciples, which gave him a bit of comfort.
Both the Dan Sect and Lingxi Valley were well-known major sects, though slightly inferior to his Sword Sect. If these two sects were to discover disciples practicing demonic arts and announce it to the world, other sects would surely take notice.
“Only Qingyun Sect is left…”
Su Qinian glanced at the sound transmission jade talisman on the table inscribed with the words ‘Qingyun’ and felt a mix of emotions.
The relationship between the Sword Sect and Qingyun Sect was not good.
Deep down, he didn’t want to care about Qingyun Sect’s fate.
But morally, he should remind them, regardless of whether they cared about what he had to say.
“Forget it, forget it. No matter what, the ancestor of Qingyun is my white moonlight. I’ll just notify her…” Su Qinian’s expression was complicated as he finally infused a bit of spiritual energy into the jade slip.
He cleared his throat, adjusted his voice, and activated the jade slip, causing a spiritual light screen to appear.
Looking at his reflection in the light screen, with his white hair and a face like a withered pine, he felt as if he could see her aged visage as well.
Until a youthful girl’s face appeared on the screen.
“Sect Master Su, long time no see.”
The girl smiled charmingly, and though she was in her prime, there was a mature charm about her that could only be cultivated through the passage of time.
Su Qinian quickly closed the light screen, staring blankly at the air for a while before muttering, “Wuliang Tianzun, when did she have a daughter?”
“She wouldn’t even tell me!”
Looking up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, Su Qinian’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
【What nonsense are you talking about?】
A cold snort came from the closed light screen:
【I don’t have a daughter; I just took a beauty pill.】
Hearing that hoarse voice of the old woman, Su Qinian felt a sense of familiarity and reopened the light screen, laughing, “Rong Qingyun, how did you end up like this? You look nothing like an elder.”
【Don’t mind that; I have a question for you!】
【Is Li Qingran’s master in your Sword Sect?】
“Yes.” Su Qinian was taken aback, unsure why the ancestor of Qingyun was asking this, but he answered honestly, “Li Qingran’s master is our Sword Sect’s Supreme Elder. By seniority, calling him an ancestor wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”
【Can you help me get a private sound transmission jade talisman?】
Rong Qingyun’s face flushed, and she bit her pink lip, her gaze evasive.
Su Qinian: “???”
Wait, something feels off!
Why does she look so shy about asking for a private sound transmission jade talisman?
“Rong Qingyun, you can’t be…”
【Oh dear~ I’ve recently taken an interest in swordsmanship~】 Rong Qingyun covered her flushed face, her eyes sparkling, and said coyly, 【That master’s sword skills are extraordinary; I just want to study sword techniques with him more deeply~】
Su Qinian fell silent.
No kidding, if he wasn’t mistaken.
His white moonlight seemed to be getting involved with the Supreme Elder he casually referred to as ‘ancestor’ all the time.
That feeling was a bit strange.
It was somewhat akin to a former partner falling for one’s grandfather.
He pondered and pondered.
In the end, he only asked Rong Qingyun one question.
“Does your son know?”
…
Communicating with the ancestor of Qingyun was surprisingly pleasant this time.
Usually, they would argue after just a few sentences.
Rong Qingyun solemnly stated that since it was the ancestor who mentioned the infiltration of demonic cultivators into the sect, she would ensure that the sect master and elders thoroughly examine their disciples, leaving no opportunity for demonic cultivators.
After closing the jade slip, Su Qinian revealed a bitter smile, shaking his head with a sigh.
“Alas! Thankfully, I have over a hundred white moonlights; otherwise, my heart would have shattered today!” With that, he took the jade slip from Qingyun Sect out of the pile of private sound transmission jade talismans belonging to female cultivators and disdainfully tossed it aside.
Then he flew off on his sword to the peak of Luoxia.
He needed to report the progress to the ancestor.
…
“Qingran, these are the responses from all the sects in the Cangyun Realm.”
In a small room, Su Qinian handed a jade slip to Li Qingran. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said meaningfully, “By the way, I just had a chat with the ancestor of Qingyun. That old hag, I don’t know what got into her, but she actually took a beauty pill to restore her youthful appearance. Goodness, she looked so charming and alluring, ripe and tender… Does she know your master? She keeps asking about your master and wants his private sound transmission jade talisman.”
Li Qingran, who had been focused on the pillowcase, suddenly looked up.
“Did you give it to her, Sect Master?”
“No, I don’t have one, and even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to her.” Su Qinian quickly shook his head, a drop of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
Wuliang Tianzun.
He actually saw a hint of murderous intent in Li Qingran’s eyes.
“Then that’s good.” Li Qingran sighed in relief, a gentle smile appearing on her face. “My master is usually very busy, fighting against great demons and suppressing the toxins in his body. We shouldn’t let any stray cats and dogs disturb him.”
“Indeed, indeed, ahahaha… I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
Su Qinian chuckled awkwardly, quickly leaving Luoxia Peak.
That was terrifying; he almost pointed at the ancestor of Qingyun and scolded her.
At least his disciple Yue Qianchi was better.
Though he was a bit foolish and liked to drink occasionally, he had no thoughts of challenging his master and wouldn’t meddle in his private life.
Sigh, with a disciple like this, the ancestor probably wouldn’t be able to have a harem in the future.
As Su Qinian stood on his flying sword, he shook his head and nodded, sighing:
“Tsk tsk, Rong Qingyun, you’re really in a tough spot, truly… Hehe~”
…
At the table, Li Qingran sat in a daze for quite a while.
Suddenly, she took apart the half-finished pillow.
Then she replaced it with a piece of fabric adorned with lotus leaves, and took out a tea bag she had hesitated to give, cutting it open and flipping the fabric inside out, revealing an embroidery that looked like a frog.
Gently stroking the frog and lotus leaves, her delicate hand trembled slightly, and as her gaze flickered, her face grew redder.
But in the end, she didn’t switch it back…

Chapter 152: You Can Also Predict the Heavenly Secrets?
“I thought that elder was just being alarmist, but to my surprise, there really are disciples practicing demonic arts in Lingxi Valley!”
In Lingxi Valley, Yun Suxin stood in front of the sect’s square, her pretty face filled with anger. Kneeling before her was a trembling female cultivator, surrounded by other disciples of Lingxi Valley, all of whom were bowing their heads in silence, looking like frightened mice.
