Chapter 230: Pill Saint Is Numb! Su Changqing's Promise!
"Old Wu lives here?"
Looking at the remote mountain peak below, Ye Jingshan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"The elder doesn't like crowds, so he chose this mountain himself."
Shen Bainian said with a smile, "There's no one else here, only the elder's personal disciple."
"Only one disciple?"
Hearing this, Ye Jingshan rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I hope Chu girl doesn't go too far."
"If she ends up bullying Old Wu's disciple too much, I'll have to apologize."
He had been discussing matters of the Celestial Pill Pavilion with Shen Bainian these past few days and forgot about it.
Now, after a few days, he suddenly remembered his trouble-making disciple.
To prevent Chu Xi from going too far, he had specially prepared a few gifts.
"Rest assured, senior brother, Chang Qing shouldn't be bullied."
Shen Bainian smiled confidently.
"It seems Old Wu has taken a good disciple."
Ye Jingshan smiled and nodded noncommittally.
Wu Jiuling's disciple might be strong, but compared to Chu Xi...
He secretly shook his head; the power of the Emperor Body is beyond an outsider's imagination.
...
Just as Ye Jingshan and Shen Bainian were talking, Su Changqing hurriedly came out to greet them.
Looking at Shen Bainian, he bowed respectfully, "Su Changqing greets Peak Master."
Then, turning his head to the unfamiliar elderly man, he felt a bit guilty and said softly, "Greetings, elder."
"Haha, a fine young man, Old Wu has taken a good disciple."
Seeing Su Changqing's unusual expression, Ye Jingshan sized him up and nodded with a smile.
Then, he soothingly said, "Chang Qing, thank you for your hard work these days."
"Chu girl is still young, don't take it to heart if she did anything wrong."
Saying so, Ye Jingshan waved his sleeve, and several dazzling, glazed pills appeared in front of Su Changqing.
"A few Saint Pills as a meeting gift, and I'll give Chu Xi a good scolding to vent your frustration!"
Ye Jingshan had seen that strange expression on Su Changqing's face many times.
Every time Chu Xi caused trouble, the bullied people always had the same hesitant look.
Those Saint Pills were valuable, not only as a meeting gift but also as his apology on behalf of Chu Xi.
However.
At this moment, Su Changqing was stunned.
Scold Chu Xi? Vent his frustration?
This... the Chu girl is crying in her room, what's there to vent for him.
Glancing at the meeting gifts in front of him, Su Changqing twitched the corner of his mouth, not daring to accept them.
"Elder..."
Su Changqing awkwardly said, "Um... Junior Sister Chu... didn't bully..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jingshan waved his hand and said:
"Don't say it, nephew. Is the Chu girl forcing you not to tell me?"
"That stubborn girl, so excessive!"
Ye Jingshan's brows furrowed with anger as he looked toward the hall, "Chu Xi, come out here immediately!"
Su Changqing was shocked upon hearing this and waved his hand hurriedly, "Elder, you misunderstood, it was me..."
"Hmph!"
Looking at Su Changqing who was still explaining for Chu Xi, Ye Jingshan said with a stern face:
"Good child, don't be afraid, I'll speak up for you and ensure you get justice."
Su Changqing felt numb from listening.
At this moment, Chu Xi, with slightly reddened eyes, walked out from the hall.
Her expression was low, still not recovered from Su Changqing's blow.
"Rebellious disciple! Apologize to your brother Chang Qing now!"
Already in a bad mood, Chu Xi had just come out when she heard Ye Jingshan's rebuke.
Chu Xi was stunned, then her little mouth pouted, and the tears she had just stopped burst out again.
"Wahhh, you all bully me!"
"Why should I apologize to Su Changqing, wahhh, he hit me, wahhh..."
Chu Xi's little face was covered in tears, extremely aggrieved.
Since she was little, when had she ever suffered such grievances?
Clearly, she was the one being bullied, but in the end, she was asked to apologize.
This made the immature-minded Chu Xi cry uncontrollably, as if the sky had fallen.
"This..."
Witnessing this scene, Ye Jingshan was suddenly dumbfounded, and Shen Bainian beside him twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at Su Changqing with questioning eyes.
As if asking, "What did you do to bully her like this?"
"I..."
Listening to the sobbing nearby, Su Changqing was at a loss, feeling numb.
He awkwardly bowed, "Apologies, elder."
"The Peak Master asked me to temper Junior Sister's temperament. I was too harsh, not considering Junior Sister Chu is still young."
Ye Jingshan was left speechless after hearing this.
He glanced dazedly at the crying Chu Xi, then at Su Changqing's embarrassed face.
An Emperor Body... was bullied to tears?
What a ridiculous joke!
"Teacher."
Chu Xi, with teary eyes, looked up and asked aggrievedly, "Am I really that bad?"
This remark shocked both Ye Jingshan and Shen Bainian.
They knew how proud this girl was.
How could it be that just a few days later, she started to doubt herself?
"My good disciple, how could you be, you are a rare prodigy..."
Ye Jingshan immediately panicked, moving to Chu Xi's side and consoling her vehemently.
"Chang Qing..."
Shen Bainian walked to Su Changqing's side, whispering with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, "What did you do?"
"That Chu girl was so proud, how did she become like this?"
He really couldn't figure out how the dignified Emperor Body Chu Xi had turned like this in just a few days.
"I didn't do much."
Su Changqing felt wronged, spreading his hands helplessly, "I just learned alchemy with her and teased her with a few words."
Shen Bainian was stunned upon hearing this, "Chu girl taught you alchemy... and you still managed to provoke her?"
He initially thought Su Changqing had given Chu Xi a solid lesson with absolute strength.
But unexpectedly... it was in alchemy that he suppressed Chu Xi?
"Hiss..."
Shen Bainian couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at Su Changqing with a peculiar gaze.
