On Taiqing Peak of Kunlun Mountain, Bai Yao hopped out from his bamboo sea towards the medicinal fields!
In the medicinal field, Jin Jiao, who was toiling away, saw Bai Yao approaching from afar. He immediately straightened his clothes and patted Yin Jiao beside him.
"Hey! Little brother, help me see if I've tidied myself up. Are there any dust specks?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao knew without a doubt that Bai Yao had arrived. Ever since his elder brother returned from the Heavenly Court, he had become extremely particular whenever the young master visited.
Yin Jiao rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Big brother, is it really necessary? You two see each other every day, and the young master comes here all the time. What's there to be so particular about?"
Jin Jiao ignored Yin Jiao's grumbling and urged him on.
"Take a look! Take a look!"
Yin Jiao helplessly gave a perfunctory nod. "Ah! It's fine, you're neat and clean. Go on quickly!"
Jin Jiao smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Then I'll leave this place to you!"
Before Yin Jiao could even agree, Jin Jiao ran towards Bai Yao.
Yin Jiao watched Jin Jiao leave, then looked at the vast medicinal field, and sighed in resignation.
"Alas, a life of toil!"
With that, Yin Jiao lowered his head and continued tending to the medicinal field.
Seeing Jin Jiao run towards him, Bai Yao's mouth split into a wide grin that reached his ears.
"A'yao, why did you come to find me?"
Bai Yao gave a playful smile. "I heard from senior brother that Yuan Shi Shibo has taken in two more disciples. I wanted to go and see them, so I came to find you!"
Jin Jiao gently pinched Bai Yao's cheek and smiled.
"Oh! I see some people are hungry and have their sights set on the iron ore at Second Master's Yuqing Peak!"
Bai Yao did indeed have this thought. Their race was called the Iron-Eating Beast for a reason. Besides their love for bamboo, their only other passion was for ores!
Bai Yao was annoyed that his thoughts had been seen through by Jin Jiao at a glance. He spoke with a hint of indignation. "Stop with the nonsense! Are you going or not?"
Seeing Bai Yao's embarrassed yet indignant look, Jin Jiao found him even more adorable. He immediately relented.
"Yes, yes! Why wouldn't I go? Our young master has personally come to find me, so how could I refuse?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yao's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Jin Jiao with a beaming smile.
"I knew our little Jin Jin was the best. Let's go!"
As Bai Yao spoke, the two of them headed towards Yuqing Peak together.
Upon arriving at Yuqing Palace, Bai Yao and Jin Jiao immediately went to Yuan Shi's side. One massaged his shoulders, and the other his back.
"Shishu, I've come to visit you!"
Yuan Shi closed his eyes in contentment and said faintly, "A'yao hasn't been here for a while. What's wrong? Was your elder brother punishing you again?"
Bai Yao sighed immediately upon hearing this.
"Shishu, my master is very strict with me. Won't you persuade my master? Shishu~ I know you dote on me the most!"
Yuan Shi chuckled, glanced at Bai Yao and Jin Jiao, then turned his head back.
"What? Do you want me to persuade your elder brother to give you some time so that you two rascals can mess around together?"
"Shishu~~~ How could that be?"
Yuan Shi, hearing Bai Yao's drawn-out tone, mimicked his cadence and said, "Oh~~~ How could that be? But if you want your elder brother to be more lenient, coming to me won't do much. Tormenting your third brother is much more effective than I am. Perhaps if you put more effort into coaxing your Tongtian Shishu, your matter might be settled!"
"Hey, press harder! Are you not eating? Did you finish all the ore you stole from me last time?"
As soon as Yuan Shi said this, Jin Jiao and Bai Yao blushed. They spoke with a hint of shyness. "Shishu (Master), you know?"
Yuan Shi chuckled. "What is my cultivation level, and what are you two rascals' cultivation levels? Can you still hide anything from me? Go directly to my treasury later and pick some good ones. As long as Third Brother doesn't come to pester me, I can afford what you eat!"
Bai Yao's eyes lit up with joy. He immediately exclaimed, "Shishu is the best!"
Yuan Shi gently shook his head and smiled. "You, you've learned to be mischievous since you started hanging around with Jin Jiao!"
Bai Yao remained silent, only serving Yuan Shi with even more diligence.
Yuan Shi nodded in satisfaction and then said, "By the way, if you want your elder brother to be more lenient, I can think of a way for you to have an easier time."
Bai Yao and Jin Jiao's eyes brightened, and they looked at Yuan Shi expectantly.
"Shishu, what's the method?"
Yuan Shi didn't speak immediately, but Bai Yao grew impatient.
"Shishu~"
Yuan Shi stretched lazily and muttered to himself, "Ah, my neck is sore!"
"Hehe, Shishu, let me rub it for you!"
Seeing Bai Yao's promptness, Yuan Shi was very pleased and slowly spoke.
"You can have Third Brother visit Taiqing Palace more often, and then come to my Yuqing Palace. Coincidentally, I've just taken in two new disciples. I'll speak to your elder brother and have you two guide their cultivation. Although your cultivation is not particularly outstanding among the disciples, you should have no problem teaching them!"
Bai Yao and Jin Jiao exchanged a smile. "Shishu~ You're so kind. Then I'll stay here for this period of time!"
Yuan Shi nodded, got up from his cushion, and said to the two of them, "I'll go and inform your elder brother. They are in the back of Yuqing Palace. You two go ahead."
As Yuan Shi finished speaking, he disappeared from his spot.
With Yuan Shi gone, Bai Yao immediately plopped down in Yuan Shi's previous seat, while Jin Jiao massaged Bai Yao's shoulders.
"Shishu is too kind, arranging such a nice errand for me!"
Jin Jiao smiled and gently asked, "A'yao, will Old Master be angry if I don't go back?"
Bai Yao shook his head. "Don't worry. If it were just me, my master might not be at ease. With you here, my master can safely entrust the two junior brothers to me."
As Bai Yao finished speaking, he immediately got up from the ground.
"Let's go, let's go! We'll go to Shishu's treasury to pick some ore for snacks, and then go see how the two junior brothers are doing!"
With that, Bai Yao headed straight for the treasury of Yuqing Palace. Bai Yao had been to Yuqing Palace countless times before. Ever since the disciples of the Yuqing lineage went down the mountain, Bai Yao would often visit Yuqing Palace when he had nothing else to do. He knew the way to the treasury like the back of his hand. Su Dan Novel Network.
When Bai Yao and Jin Jiao arrived at the treasury and saw the dazzling array of ores, Bai Yao's eyes widened.
"Wow! I didn't expect to come back after only a short while and Shishu has so many new treasures!"
As Bai Yao spoke, he casually picked up a piece of ore and began to crunch on it.
Seeing this, Jin Jiao snatched the ore from Bai Yao's hand. Bai Yao looked at Jin Jiao with dissatisfaction.
"What are you doing?"
Jin Jiao smiled and made a hand seal, causing a small pool of water to appear in the air.
After Jin Jiao washed the ore clean, he handed it back to Bai Yao with a doting smile.
"Here, eat it after washing!"
