Chapter 44: Shen Ke’er was seething with jealousy!
For this group of outer disciples, the mountain spring water wasn’t bad; it could be considered sweet and refreshing.
What he hadn’t mentioned was that the tea they were serving to True Lord Yuehua was something they usually couldn’t bear to drink themselves.
When True Lord Yuehua spat out the tea, he silently lamented how unfortunate it was.
But what could he do? Was he supposed to catch it with his mouth?
How could he dare to do such a thing?
True Lord Yuehua’s palate had been spoiled by their Senior Brother.
She was eating the best quality Spirit Rice, complemented by top-notch Spirit Beast Meat, let alone the tea and spring water.
Their Senior Brother had indeed taken meticulous care of True Lord Yuehua.
After a long silence, True Lord Yuehua asked, “Was all the Spirit Tea from before prepared by your Senior Brother?”
The disciple replied, “Yes, and it was brewed by him personally.”
He felt somewhat helpless in his heart, as he always thought Azure Bamboo Peak belonged to their Senior Brother. Their Master had left all other matters to him while she focused solely on her cultivation.
He had no idea where the income of Azure Bamboo Peak came from or where their meals were sourced.
Even in terms of cultivation issues, it was all their Senior Brother explaining things to them.
True Lord Yuehua waved her hand, signaling for the disciple to leave.
At this moment, she felt a bit stuffy in her heart.
She took a rare stroll around Azure Bamboo Peak.
As she walked, she arrived at Lin Mo’s residence.
Gu Zi, seeing her approach, respectfully said, “Master, Senior Brother is in closed door cultivation, attempting to break through to Golden Core!”
“It’s nothing, I just came to take a look.” After scanning Lin Mo’s yard, True Lord Yuehua realized that the layout hadn’t changed at all over the years.
Lin Mo had never actively added anything for her.
Meanwhile, her own courtyard had been beautifully adorned by Lin Mo, with exquisite railings and magnificent structures.
Touching the slightly decayed wooden door, True Lord Yuehua felt a pang in her heart.
All these years, she had been obsessed with cultivation.
She really hadn’t been a good Master.
She hadn’t realized how much Mo’er had silently done for her…
The words of apology she felt inside suddenly surged forth.
Inside the house, Lin Mo watched the enchanting figure outside.
He had already completed his Golden Core formation but had no intention of opening the door.
His Sword Heart Clarity allowed him to sense Yuehua’s emotions.
The System’s prompt also indicated that he had received a significant gift from her.
Over thirty thousand Regret points!
But so what?
He simply didn’t want to open the door.
Not only did he refuse to open it, but he also wanted to stay in there for a few more days.
Aside from True Lord Yuehua, Shen Ke’er had visited him once as well.
He knew Shen Ke’er had something to ask of him, but he just wouldn’t open the door.
On the other hand, Ruoyan Qu came to see him multiple times a day.
“Gu Zi, Gu Zi, has Senior Brother come out of seclusion?” Ruoyan Qu asked eagerly.
Having come frequently in recent days, she had become quite familiar with Gu Zi.
The terrifying weapon was so close, Gu Zi’s face flushed slightly, and he shook his head. “Senior Sister, Senior Brother is still in seclusion!”
“Oh…” Ruoyan Qu expressed her disappointment; it seemed she wouldn’t be able to get any candy today.
Just then, Xia He happened to arrive as well.
Ruoyan Qu ran over and grabbed Xia He’s hand. “Xia Xia, are you here to ask Senior Brother for some candy too?”
“If you want cucumbers, I can buy some for you!”
Upon hearing about cucumbers, Xia He’s little face turned red. After hesitating for a few seconds, she could only ‘mm’ in agreement, admitting she was there for the candy.
In truth, since their last parting, she had been constantly thinking about Lin Mo and harbored quite a few embarrassing thoughts. She really couldn’t hold back any longer, so today she came to Azure Bamboo Peak, only to run into Ruoyan Qu.
Gu Zi was at a loss; he hadn’t expected his Senior Brother to know so many beautiful women.
“Eh, why are there so many people in Senior Brother’s courtyard?”
When Shen Ke’er saw Ruoyan Qu and Xia He, she was taken aback for a moment.
Aren’t those the peak flowers from other peaks?
In the Azure Spirit Sect, the Twelve Peaks had thirteen peak flowers!
Each of them was outstandingly beautiful.
They were all fellow disciples and among the talented ones, and she had seen the two newly appointed peak flowers before.
However, she was puzzled as to why these two peak flowers were in Lin Mo’s courtyard.
Beside her, Ye Kai’s eyes lit up when he saw Ruoyan Qu and Xia He, but with Shen Ke’er next to him, he didn’t step forward to get acquainted.
“Is Senior Brother still in seclusion?” Shen Ke’er spoke with an extremely unfriendly tone since she had previously clashed with Gu Zi.
“Yes, Senior Brother is still in seclusion!” Gu Zi replied respectfully.
According to the rules, as an outer disciple, he needed to be courteous to inner disciples when he saw them.
He felt no fondness for Shen Ke’er; every time they met, she carried a high-and-mighty attitude.
Why was it that Ruoyan Qu treated him so kindly without any airs?
Both were peak flowers, yet why was there such a vast difference from Senior Sister Ruoyan?
Learning that Ruoyan Qu and Xia He had come to find Lin Mo, Shen Ke’er couldn’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance…
When had her Senior Brother formed such a close relationship with other women…?
Ye Kai, standing nearby, also felt intensely jealous. Why did Lin Mo get to be surrounded by so many outstanding women?
Just as the two of them were simmering in their respective jealousy, two lovely figures approached from not far away.
“An’an, Ququ, are you both here to find Senior Brother Lin…?” Upon seeing these familiar partners from their joint training, Ruoyan Qu looked very happy.
Zhiqu Xie hid behind Zhi’an Xie, her ears turning so red it seemed like they could drip blood.
Zhi’an Xie bluntly said, “My sister misses Senior Brother Lin, so we came to check on him!”
“Sis, what are you saying…” Zhiqu Xie’s small face, already flushed, began to steam at her sister’s words.
Shen Ke’er clearly heard this and felt a surge of conflicted emotions.
So her Senior Brother was this popular…
Lin Mo was mired in gloom inside the house.
Goodness, they were all gathered outside.
Was this a party forming outside his door?
He had explicitly said to let things end well and not to come looking for him, so why did one after another keep arriving?
It was one thing for Ruoyan Qu to come asking for food.
Xia He, if you’re not coming to return money, then don’t come at all!
Since Xia He awakened her strange attributes, did that just mean letting her feel good?
Lin Mo thought, out of sight, out of mind, choosing to close himself off from the outside world and continue solidifying his cultivation.
At this point, Ruoyan Qu walked up to Shen Ke’er and curiously asked, “Senior Sister, are you also here to ask Senior Brother for some lollipops?”
“Lollipops?” Shen Ke’er had never heard of such candy.
Ruoyan Qu explained, “It’s a very sweet kind of candy that only Senior Brother Lin knows how to make; there are many flavors, and they’re all delicious.”
“We’ve all had some!” When Ruoyan Qu mentioned eating, her smile radiated happiness.
But that bright smile, to Shen Ke’er, felt extraordinarily glaring.
Having been by Lin Mo’s side for so many years, how had she never had this ‘lollipop’?
Especially with Ruoyan Qu’s last statement, delivering a thousand blows to her heart.
‘They’ve all had it,’ meant that Shen Ke’er had never had it.
These ‘they’ were all equally beautiful women, not beneath her in any regard.
In an instant, waves of jealousy surged in her heart, like a flood, drowning her and making it hard to breathe.
Staying here any longer, she would go insane.
She turned and grabbed Ye Kai, heading away.
Ye Kai glanced back longingly at that group of beautiful women.
He felt jealous too; why was the world so unfair? Why was he destined to be a failure while Lin Mo got to be so fortunate, surrounded by so many beauties?
One day, they would all belong to him, Ye Kai…
