Chapter 6: Eldest Martial Brother is a Good Person

  "How can that be?" Qin Luo Yi shook her head: "Shifu found someone to help me build a cave, Shimei is already very grateful, how can I still occupy Shifu's cave?"

  What people say can be said, although Feng Fei Liu is often not in the Yun Xiao Sect, if he were to live with him like this, even if nothing happens, rumors would still spread. Such a proud son of heaven, every word and deed, every move, must have many people paying attention at all times.

  Feng Fei saw that she had hardly considered it and reflexively rejected her own proposal, couldn't help but secretly laugh.

  "Sister, don't be polite to me, just now when I went to the main peak, Master told me that he has gained some new insights into his cultivation and will be in seclusion for a period of time. He wants you to cultivate on your own first, so don't go to the main peak during this time, even if you do, you won't see him...". She smiled slightly and continued: "You can stay in my cave, I'll go to Second Brother's place tonight, his place is spacious, we haven't seen each other for many years, it's a good opportunity to have a good chat."

  "This..." Qin Luo Yi pursed her red lips, her phoenix eyes gazing at the handsome face of her senior brother, her mind wavering slightly.

  "Don't say no again, you've just joined the Piaoyu Sect and Master has something on his mind. If you still consider me as your senior brother, then do as I say, otherwise, I'll get angry." Feng Fei Liu raised an eyebrow, intentionally putting on a cold face and speaking in a chilly tone.

  "Alright, I'll listen to you, Brother. Just please don't be angry with me." Qin Luoyi's heart warmed upon hearing this, and she smiled, her eyes curved upwards.

  Still, Senior Brother is better, not only does he look handsome and charming, but he's also gentle with people, that Duanmu Changqing can't even compare to Senior Brother!

  Feng Fei's cave is very close to the top of the mountain, but it is surrounded by ancient trees that stretch up to the sky. Unlike the mountaintop, which is a purely silver icy world, the temperature here is slightly lower than halfway up the mountain, but still within human tolerance.

  The cave temple, which covers an area of hundreds of meters, has a simple and majestic exterior, but inside it is very delicate and luxurious, like a palace.

  The road is paved with jade-colored white bricks, pavilions and buildings are everywhere, carved railings and jade pillars are ubiquitous, inside there are even fake mountains, flowing water, small bridges... The surrounding grass and trees are lush, the wind blows rustling sounds, and the birds chirp crisply, it's like a fairyland.

  Under the mottled tree shade, a large tea table made of huanghuali wood with a coiled dragon and wave pattern is placed. Two huanghuali hollow-carved stools with phoenix and flower patterns are beside it, accompanied by a small stove.

  Feng Fei sat elegantly on the wooden stump, beckoning Qin Luo to sit down, then took out a small silver teapot and began brewing tea with great familiarity.

  Qin Luo Yi looked around curiously, Master Big Brother had not returned for several years, but everything in the cave was spotless and dust-free, as if the master of this place had never left.

  A moment later, tea fragrance filled the air.

  Feng Fei's fingers moved slightly, and two small white jade cups appeared in his hands. He lifted the silver cup, filled both jade cups with fragrant tea, personally picked up one of them, and handed it to Qin Luoyi.

  "Good tea!" Qin Luo Yi lightly sipped a mouthful, smiling and nodding in praise. The tea flavor was rich and mellow, with a hint of sweetness that lingered on the palate. As it slid down her throat, she felt a surge of fragrance fill her mouth, accompanied by a pure and refreshing energy that flowed into her limbs and bones.

  Phoenix flew, the corner of her lips slightly upturned, looking extremely good-tempered. In her beautiful peach blossom eyes, a brilliant light like crystal was flashing. She picked up the silver cup and filled it for her again.

  "This tea is made from the leaves of the seven-colored tree on Fenghuang Mountain in Tianxuan Continent. If you like it, brother will send some to you later."

  Jade trees in the wind, elegant as jade, and extremely generous... Qin Luoyi smiled with narrowed eyes, her good impression of this senior brother rose linearly. Being with someone like him was a delightful thing, even if they didn't do anything, just quietly watching was also a pleasure.

  "Master brother, where does the cold spring water come from? How can there be such a strong spiritual power inside?" Qin Luo Yi asked curiously, looking at the water flowing under the small bridge in the distance.

  If she felt it was right, then the water flowing under the bridge should be as cold as the mountain spring.

  "That's from the depths of the Jade Green Peak Mountain, Junior Sister was just at Penglai Fairy Island, so she doesn't know. On Penglai Fairy Island, that Cold Pool water is only available to the Drifting Sect, and it's only on this Jade Green Peak." Feng Fei Liu followed her gaze, looking towards the small bridge with a smile: "In the Jade Green Peak Mountain, there is a strange passage, the Cold Pool water gushes out from that strange passage to the top of the mountain, then flows down from the top of the mountain, passing through here, and flowing into the ground."

  Is it still circulating living water?

  No wonder she jumped in, it felt like soaking in a hot spring. Perhaps somewhere at the bottom of the mountain, there was a surge of hot magma, which created this strange phenomenon that looked icy but was actually warm to the extreme.

  "At first, our sect's founding ancestor chose this place because the mountain range has a rich spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation. Also, it is because there is this naturally powerful and fierce cold spring water here."

  "The water of the Cold Pond is indeed suitable for cultivation, but it's really too overbearing." Qin Luo Yi furrowed her brow and sighed softly.

  Half a month ago, that feeling of being on the verge of destruction, she still thinks about it now and feels lingering fear, afraid of what might have happened.

  "Yu Qingfeng is the source of Hanshan, and the spiritual power inside is naturally overbearing." Feng Fei's peach blossom eyes lightly flashed as she smiled and continued: "The disciples of Piaomiao Sect who cultivate with Hanshan water use that specially diluted Hanshan water. The spiritual power in it is much weaker, although advancing to the next stage is slow, but there won't be any danger to their lives."

  "Was it deliberately diluted? Are you saying that no one will directly enter the Cold Pool to cultivate?" Qin Luo's eyes flickered, with a flash of cold light in his eyes.

  Feng Fei Liu burst out laughing, and a hint of slyness flashed in her peach blossom eyes: "There is indeed, but very little. Haha, this is one thing that Brother admires about Sister - daring to jump down directly like that."

  "I didn't jump down myself!" Qin Luo Yi muttered in a very small voice, her face fallen, and began to silently ask for the blessings of Duan Mu Zhang Qing and his ancestors.

  She had tea in her mouth, and spoke in a very low voice, even Feng Fei Liu, who was highly cultivated, couldn't hear what she said. Looking at her with her head down, muttering to herself, he thought she was embarrassed by her own words... The corners of her lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and the topic was quickly changed.

  She told her a lot about the strange people and anecdotes of Penglai Fairy Island, as well as many interesting stories. After half an hour, Feng Fei Liu stood up to leave, saying that she could rest assured living here, and if anything happened, she should go to Second Brother's place to find him. He also said that he would definitely find someone to build a cave for her as soon as possible.

  Qin Luo Yi thanked him sincerely again and took out a large number of silver notes from his bosom, without even counting them, and forcibly stuffed them into his hands.

  Feng Fei Li was taken aback, then smiled lightly and didn't refuse. She tucked the silver ticket away, letting her think carefully about what kind of cave mansion she wanted to build over the next two days. Then, riding on a divine rainbow, she departed with elegance.

  Qin Luoyi felt that the senior brother was right, so he strolled around first, then took out paper and pen, and spent an entire afternoon before finally coming up with a rough but satisfactory design.

  Put down the pen, looking at the darkening sky outside, I gave up the idea of finding Jian Yuyan again. After all, we are both in this Xuan Mi Sect, and it doesn't matter whether it's a day earlier or later.

  In the afternoon, I drank a fragrant tea from my senior brother, and it actually brought out her appetite - since she advanced to the Zun stage, she no longer needs to eat three meals a day like before. Now, even if she doesn't eat anything for several days or more than ten days, she won't feel hungry at all.

  She took out a piece of dried beef and cooked it, adding a lot of spices inside. Then she went to catch a wild chicken nearby, found some fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and stewed a pot of chicken soup.

  After finishing, Qin Luo Yi was in the pavilion eating beef and drinking chicken soup while pouring out fine wine to drink by himself.

  At a time when everything was going smoothly, a divine rainbow suddenly appeared, and an uninvited guest arrived in the cave.

  "Eldest Sister Wu." Qin Luoyi was taken aback by the stunningly beautiful figure, then quickly smiled and stood up to greet her warmly.

  "Little sister? How did you end up here?" Liu Qingcheng looked at Qin Luoyi, as well as the fine wine and food in the pavilion, furrowing her brow with a slightly cold tone: "Where's Big Brother?"

  "It turns out that Fifth Sister was looking for Big Brother all along!" Qin Luo's lips curled up in a smile, and her eyes had a hint of surprise: "Big Brother isn't here, if you're looking for him, go to Second Brother's place instead. Big Brother said he hasn't seen Second Brother in a long time, and tonight they'll be having a heart-to-heart talk..."

  "Has Eldest Senior Brother gone to Second Senior Brother's place?" Liu Qingcheng gazed at her, a smile playing on his lips, but the smile didn't quite reach his eyes, and instead carried a hint of sharpness: "Since Eldest Senior Brother isn't here, Little Junior Sister, why are you still here? The Sect Master said that day to find an uninhabited cave on Jade Green Peak, not to find Eldest Senior Brother's cave to live in. Although Eldest Senior Brother rarely returns to the Xiao Yao Sect, this cave is not a place where just anyone can casually enter!"

  Qin's clothes fell, and his eyes flashed a hint of sharp light at the bottom, then he looked up again, with a full face of embarrassment: "I know this is Big Brother Master's cave house. Originally, I was going to live in that other cave house, but something unexpected happened a few days ago, so it needs to be renovated before someone can live there...so Big Brother Master let me temporarily stay here..."

  "What?" Liu Qingcheng's eyebrows shot up in shock: "How could Master let you temporarily stay here?"

  Qin Luoyi looked at her with a surprised expression: "Uh, Fifth Sister, it's just temporary accommodation, why is it impossible?" In his heart, he secretly laughed, seeing Liu Qingcheng like this, 80% of the time she was secretly in love with that demon-like Eldest Senior Brother.

  Liu Qingcheng took a deep breath and also realized that she was somewhat out of place, forcing a very awkward smile: "Big Brother doesn't like others touching his things. This cave has been empty for many years, and outside there is still Big Brother's personally set up formation. In the past, it wasn't just that people couldn't live here, even entering was extremely difficult. Today, seeing you here, I'm too surprised..."

  After a glance at Qin Luo's thoughtful expression, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "However, others are others, and you are not the same. You are all disciples of the same master, and he treats you differently. He lets you stay for a few days when you have nowhere to live, which is normal. It's just that I'm overreacting."
