Chapter 170 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 19
After Qi Yu finished his reflection, he walked over and said, "Senior brother, senior sister..."
He glanced at Yun Qing, then looked at Zong Yunze and asked with concern, "Senior brother, what about senior sister's health..."
Zong Yunze's voice, cool and devoid of any warmth, said, "It's nothing."
Qi Yu was already used to Zong Yunze's aloof nature and his taciturnity; he would never say two words if he could only say one.
But after seeing how gentle and tender he was to his senior sister, he felt that his senior brother was so cold to him.
It seems like his junior brother is worthless.
He then looked at Yun Qing and saw his senior sister looking at him with a cool expression but loving eyes, and said with satisfaction, "Junior brother has grown up!"
Qi Yu wanted to move them.
But looking at his senior sister's chubby face, then at her tiny figure that was smaller than his palm, and finally at the loving look in her eyes, he fell silent.
Yun Qing recalled the plot related to Qi Yu.
Chu Yunqing was much older than Qi Yu; when she had her accident, Qi Yu was still just a young boy.
Chu Yunqing had always taken good care of this junior brother who was not very old.
Although he always has a cold face due to his personality, he never forgets Qi Yu when there is something good.
She actually cared more about her junior brother than her senior brother Zong Yunze, and she had also risked her life to protect Qi Yu when he was in danger.
At that time, Qi Yu also became closer to her, his senior.
However, when Chu Yunqing woke up and faced the betrayal of her Daoist partner, Qi Yu sided with her senior brother Zong Yunze.
He even told Chu Yunqing that since her senior brother had no romantic feelings for her, she shouldn't force it and advised her to let go, as that would be better for everyone.
In the original story, Chu Yunqing slept for a thousand years before waking up, and the affection she once shared with Qi Yu had long been worn away by time.
Qi Yu and Zong Yunze, however, had been fellow disciples for over a thousand years, and Qi Yu greatly admired his exceptionally talented senior brother.
Because of Zong Yunze, he also extended his affection to Lin Yao'er, Zong Yunze's favored disciple, treating her as his own disciple and doting on her greatly.
All told, he has doted on Lin Yao'er for two hundred years, which is much longer than the time he spent with his senior sister Chu Yunqing.
If Chu Yunqing gives in to the conflict among the three, the other two people with whom he has a deeper relationship will not be in a difficult position.
Moreover, Zong Yunze and Lin Yao'er were in love with each other, while Chu Yunqing was the one who was not loved.
Qi Yu naturally hoped that she wouldn't pester him.
Moreover, as the sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect, he certainly didn't want things to escalate and make a fool of the sect.
Later, when Zong Yunze wanted to kill Chu Yunqing with his own hands, he only sighed and did not stop him, because she was no longer his senior sister, but a demon who had fallen into evil.
Therefore, it's not surprising at all that Chu Yunqing would turn evil!
Just as Qi Yu was about to ask his senior sister some more questions, Zong Yunze said, "Go ahead and do what you need to do."
Qi Yu wanted to say that he was fine and not busy, but before he could even speak, his senior brothers and sisters had already disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qi Yu: ...
I still want to catch up with my senior sister! Senior brother, can you please stop being so petty?
*
Although Qi Yu was unable to properly reminisce with his senior sister who had just been awakened, his special trip did manage to spread the news of Immortal Venerable Yunze's return to the sect.
After Zong Yunze had the spirit fruit trees he brought back planted and refined a spiritual artifact to nourish Yun Qing's body and soul, Lin Yao'er, who was in the outer sect, finally heard the news of her master's return to the sect.
She was overjoyed and immediately prepared to return to Luoxue Peak to ask her master to uphold justice for her.
With her low cultivation level, she couldn't fly on a sword, nor could she rent a crane that could carry people. So she stubbornly climbed up Snowfall Peak on her own two legs.
Thinking of the suffering she endured after her master left, Lin Yao'er's eyes reddened, filled with resentment.
But now things are alright, Master is back.
Master is clearly a person of integrity and upright character; he would not protect Xiao He just because Xiao He is a direct disciple.
Back when his master was still alive, Xiao He wouldn't dare target her.
Thinking about it, she quickened her pace, dragging her tired and trembling legs, and limped towards her master's residence.
She noticed something was wrong from afar.
Originally, there was only a huge old tree outside Master's house, with bare branches covered with ice crystals, which looked very desolate.
After she watered the tree until it died, all that was left outside was a blanket of white snow.
Despite being a blessed land brimming with spiritual energy, it appears empty and desolate at first glance, devoid of any sign of life.
But now there are many more trees outside Master's house, some of which are even laden with fruit, looking very vibrant.
As she drew closer, the scenery became increasingly clear.
That area seemed to be a world of its own, completely different from the cold and desolate landscape of other parts of Snowfall Peak.
Spring is in full bloom, flowers are in full bloom, and colorful butterflies are fluttering about. Just looking at it fills one with a warm feeling and makes one feel happy.
Hidden among the greenery, one can vaguely see a palace, with its carved railings and jade steps, a magnificent sight.
It was completely different from the house where Master originally lived, which, while not exactly shabby, was still quite simple.
Lin Yao'er even wondered if she had gone to the wrong place.
She hesitated for a moment before continuing forward. Once she entered the spring-like scene, she immediately spotted Zong Yunze under the flowering trees.
She stopped in her tracks, looking somewhat surprised.
Because the master at this moment was very different from the overly aloof image she remembered.
He lay in the rocking chair, rocking gently, exuding a sense of leisure.
The dappled sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves fell on him, softening his otherwise cold demeanor.
Most importantly, the elegant and otherworldly Immortal Venerable Yunze was actually disheveled.
His robes were loose, and the collar was slightly open and disheveled, revealing a patch of fair skin below his left collarbone. In the soft sunlight, the skin had a jade-like luster, which aroused the imagination.
Lin Yao'er's heart skipped a beat, and as if bewitched, she lifted her foot and walked in that direction.
Just then, Zong Yunze suddenly raised his hand, and a bright red flower on the tree fell into his fingers as if summoned.
He held the flower in his hand, looking down at his left abdomen.
Lin Yao'er couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw something wriggling under his brocade robe, which made his clothes open even wider.
The creature throbbed a few times and then poked its little head out from his disheveled clothes.
Lin Yao'er's eyes widened in surprise. What was this thing?
Yun Qing's face was flushed, and she rubbed her eyes with her little fists. Because she had just woken up, her voice was a little soft, "Senior brother..."
Zong Yunze handed her the flowers and then reached out to tidy her messy hair. "Have you had a good night's sleep?"
Yun Qing nodded, becoming more awake. Holding the fragrant flowers, she climbed out of his clothes, sat cross-legged on his stomach, and asked with a serious expression as if discussing important matters of cultivation, "What are we having for lunch?"
