You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 518: Everyone Has Their Own Understanding
Six days later, the governor informed Shi Xiaoliu and the other two and asked them to go and collect the materials they had exchanged for their points.

Shi Zelan went to the Governor's Hall to get something and returned to her cave. At the intersection, she saw Shi Bachun wandering outside her cave.

Only after she came closer did Shi Bachun slowly turn around.

Shi Zelan greeted Shi Bachun with a smile, opened the cave door, and welcomed Shi Bachun into the cave.

Shi Bachun saw the newly planted saplings in the yard and asked curiously, "Sister Lan, you guys aren't leaving the sect recently?"

"There are still some things that have not been properly dealt with, so I have to postpone my trip for a few days.

Eighth Aunt, we will leave the sect and will not disturb you again."

"How many decades will you be gone?"

After Shi Zelan listened to Shi Bachun's words, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Auntie, if we can be free outside for a few decades, it proves that the sect is as stable as a mountain."

Shi Bachun listened to Shi Zelan's words and smiled happily: "I only feel very free and comfortable in the sect."

Shi Zelan understood what Shi Bachun said, but she couldn't stay in the sect all the time.

Over the past ten years, her cultivation progress has been extremely slow, while Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu's cultivation has already improved by two levels.

Shi Zelan and Shi Bachun talked about some changes in the sect over the years. After Shi Bachun listened carefully, he asked, "Sister Lan, are you on good terms with the former junior sister from the Medicine Pavilion?"

Shi Zelan shook her head: "Eighth Aunt, it's impossible for her and I to be good friends.

It's just that she wanted to get close to me, and I didn't find her particularly annoying. When we met, we could still say a few polite words to each other."

Shi Bachun smiled with relief after hearing this: "They said you two were close, I was worried that she would plot against you."

Shi Zelan looked at the expression on Shi Bachun's face and said, "Auntie, have you heard any news about that person in Chaohu?"

Shi Bachun thought about it seriously and said, "I haven't heard any news about him. Everyone is focusing on practicing seriously."

She then looked at Shi Zelan curiously: "Why do you care about that person?"

"You are concerned about the relationship between the junior sister in front of the medicine pavilion and me, so I remember that person."

Shi Bachun laughed when he heard her words: "I have a feeling that the past is like smoke to me."

"Eighth Aunt, if there is another suitable person, will you get married?"

Shi Bachun looked at Shi Zelan and nodded affirmatively: "Yes.

Lan Jie'er, I am different from you. I am looking forward to having someone I can rely on and care about."

"Eighth Aunt, everyone has their own choices. I think my life is comfortable, and I think it's great that you can meet someone to accompany you."

"Sister Lan, you really don't object to my remarriage?"

"Eighth Aunt, as long as you meet the right man, your marriage will be a great joy.

Bagu, be more confident, you deserve a good man."

"When I think about the old days now, I feel ashamed to see you and Xiaoliu.

Did my behavior at that time embarrass you too much?"

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Bachun and smiled: "You are a sentimental person. We are just worried that your sentiments are too strong and others may not understand you."

Three days later, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two left the sect first.

The elders will not leave the sect for the time being. Instead, they will wait for Shi Xiaoliu and the other two to walk the same route they have walked before. Only then will they meet up with Shi Xiaoliu and the other two and set out for Kunlun Mountain.

Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng looked up at the flying boat flying over the sect’s sky, then they looked away.

Master Decheng looked at Master Shanzheng and said, "I am not traveling with them this time because I want to teach my little disciple with all my heart. What about you?"

Master Shanzheng glanced at him and said, "My senior brother said that I should try to let go of all Lan Jie'er's affairs." Master Decheng looked at Master Shanzheng's expression and agreed, "It was only after I accepted the little disciple that I realized that I paid too much attention to Xiaoliu.

I don't have that kind of worried feeling towards my little disciple.

Perhaps it’s because Xiaoliu is my first disciple and I have no experience as a master, so I was so nervous about his affairs.”

Shanzheng Zhenren nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I've noticed this, too. I always treat Lan Jie'er like a child."

"Then when will you accept another little disciple?"

"Let me wait for Sister Lan to break the curse on her body. Then I can accept another disciple without any worries."

"After Sister Lan returned to the sect, I found that her cultivation level improved very slowly."

"After she returned to the sect, she felt that the curse had become much stronger."

"Damn it, that guy is very vicious.

He is torturing Lan Jie'er like this because he is determined not to let your junior brother and his wife live in harmony."

"No, he calculated that even if Sister Lan had excellent spiritual roots, she would not be able to cultivate, and then she would be frustrated and unhappy for the rest of her life.

Ha ha.

Fortunately, Lan Jie'er is a lucky child who was able to survive from a desperate situation."

When Master Shanzheng mentioned Shi Zelan, his face was full of pride.

Many people in the sect secretly passed messages to Master Shanzheng.

He said that the child of his distant relative had good spiritual roots, and he hoped that Master Shanzheng would meet the lovely child when he was free.

Master Shanzheng tactfully expressed his feelings that he would accept more disciples in the future, but he would have to wait until Shi Zelan was truly safe and sound.

Those who are in the know will naturally understand what Master Shanzheng means.

People who are not in the know may not understand something, but after listening to others’ explanation, they will each have their own understanding.

So when Master Shanzheng heard someone ask him whether he had to wait until Shi Zelan's parents returned to the sect before he would feel comfortable accepting a new disciple, he asked in shock.

"Why do I have to wait for my junior brother and his wife to return to the sect to recruit new disciples?"

The man naturally explained to Master Shan Zheng, and after listening to the man's explanation, Master Shan Zheng immediately smiled and said, "I am looking forward to my junior brother and his wife returning to the sect as soon as possible.

As for me accepting new disciples, it has something to do with fate."

Master Shanzheng told Master Decheng about this, and he laughed and said, "I heard something even more ridiculous, saying that Sister Lan was very close to a female cultivator in the Medicine Pavilion."

Shanzheng Zhenren looked at Decheng Zhenren in surprise: "Who?"

Master Decheng smiled and said, "A female cultivator who had some minor involvement with Sister Lan and Auntie Ba."

Shanzheng Zhenren said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "This rumor is too absurd.

There were more than ten people who teamed up with Lan Jie'er to take on the sect's mission, and there were female cultivators from the Medicine Pavilion and the Xia Family accompanying them."

Zhenren Decheng said to Zhenren Shanzheng: "That female cultivator wanted to get closer to Lan Jie'er, but she is smart enough not to have the extravagant hope of making friends with Lan Jie'er."

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng talked for a while and then parted ways quickly.

True Man Shanzheng went to tell True Man Fangcheng and True Man Pingyang that Shi Zelan had left the sect.

After hearing this, Master Fang Cheng looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said to Master Shan Zheng, "Okay.

You are in the sect, and I will leave the affairs of the peak to you. I can just retreat for a few days in peace."
