Early in the morning.
The major construction of the sect had basically been completed, although it would still take some time to be fully finished.
However, the construction using large wooden logs was done, and the pure, huge noise was gone.
For humans, those noises might be tolerable, but for the Green Snake, it was somewhat of a torment.
As the noise decreased, its perception of the outside world was no longer just a constant tremble.
It had also become more energetic in cutting wood recently.
It was a pity... Since Qinghe left, he hadn't come back.
Perhaps he was immersed in his cultivation and forgot the time.
The Green Snake gently swayed its tail and looked leisurely at the completely roofed main hall.
The indoor work was delicate. Although the Green Snake considered itself smart, it couldn't use its tail to carve those extremely delicate ornaments.
So its work here was over.
Now, Li Yingling, the leader of the sect, had given it new task instructions.
"Here are some spirit stones for you. Go and cultivate."
This was good news for the Green Snake. As long as it showed sufficient cultivation aptitude and its cultivation advanced, it would still be reused.
For example, Zhou Ping was just a lousy cultivator. The Green Snake could easily defeat him.
Naturally, don't ask why it didn't compare itself with Li Yingling.
She was the senior sister, and of course, she had her unique qualities. The Green Snake could understand that.
It was a pity that this senior sister, despite her high cultivation, had no emotional intelligence at all.
Li Yingling used the simplest and most embarrassing two words to describe the fact that the combat power of the mountain - guarding monster was comparable to that of the sect's mascot.
"Ridiculous!"
The Green Snake still remembered the hurt those two words had caused it that day.
One day, when its cultivation soared, it would surely make Li Yingling look at it with new eyes and make her sincerely apologize for her naive and shallow view back then.
By then, it would surely let bygones be bygones.
After all, the realm of the strong was always beyond the understanding of the weak.
Thinking of this, the Green Snake turned around and headed towards the cultivation room.
To make this day come, it would surely work even harder.
It still remembered Qinghe's wise teachings clearly.
However, when the Green Snake passed through the main hall and reached the accommodation area, it found it hard to move forward.
If there was someone the Green Snake both loved and feared, Chen Baiqing would definitely be on the list.
It still remembered how Chen Baiqing taught it to read.
It also remembered the taste of the tea Chen Baiqing brewed.
Since Chen Baiqing liked the design of the deep pool in Yuzhou City, Cui Hao had the idea of digging a small pool here. Of course, it was not as big as the one in the sect in Yuzhou City.
But at least it was better than nothing. At least Chen Baiqing could raise some fish for barbecue experiments again.
The small pool was filled with flowing water, and the water source was led from underground.
This work was done by Li Xingtian. He seemed to be extremely familiar with the underground situation.
It was just unknown where he had gained such experience.
The construction of the accommodation area was not particularly large, so it was already completed. San Dong had also moved into the house with a retractable roof that it had been longing for.
The original stone tables and chairs from Yuzhou City were now placed beside the small pool.
Chen Baiqing was gracefully brewing tea. Opposite her, Cui Hao's face was full of expectation. Lin Luoyu was sitting on one side, gently flipping through a book.
San Dong also seemed to have been invited. Since it was too small, sitting on a chair was like not coming at all.
So it was the only one sitting on the table at the moment. It was holding a piece of lunar essence in its arms and enjoying absorbing the power of the lunar essence.
The Green Snake hadn't tasted Chen Baiqing's tea for a long time.
It didn't miss it before when it didn't see it, but now that it was being brewed again, it suddenly felt a bit thirsty.
Well, although the position of mountain - guard might sound like a doorman's job.
But at least it was recognized by the sect master as one of their own. The Green Snake naturally knew that the people in the sect were always quite tolerant towards their own people.
Moreover, it had worked hard in the sect's construction without slacking off.
It wasn't too much to ask for a cup of tea, right?
Thinking of this, the Green Snake slowly moved towards Chen Baiqing and the others.
Chen Baiqing naturally noticed the Green Snake's movement. Just as the Green Snake had guessed.
Since the Green Snake was recognized by the master, Chen Baiqing could also recognize it, as long as it was sensible.
Chen Baiqing also understood what the Green Snake wanted.
Before the Green Snake could open its snake - like mouth, Chen Baiqing poured a cup of tea and gently pushed it in front of the Green Snake.
The Green Snake's eyes lit up: "Thank you."
Chen Baiqing slightly shook her head: "You're welcome. You've worked hard on the sect's construction recently."
The Green Snake suddenly felt that Chen Baiqing in front of it was actually very cute.
As long as she didn't teach it to read, Chen Baiqing was definitely a great person!
Chen Baiqing distributed the teacups to everyone, including San Dong, the current mascot of the sect.
Cui Hao took the teacup and took a gentle sip. His expression instantly became relaxed.
He really liked staying in his own sect more and more. There was an interesting and non - rigid master, a smart but somewhat reliable senior sister, a second senior brother who looked fierce but was actually kind - hearted.
And a third senior sister who brewed good tea and was very cute.
This wasn't just about cultivating immortality... This was clearly enjoying life.
Cui Hao truly regarded this place as his home and the people in the sect as his family.
He found a topic that his third senior sister liked and said:
"Master will be back soon, right? Didn't he say he'd be back in about a month when we were at Gentleman Mountain? It's almost two months now. He won't go out and play without us, will he?"
Hearing this, Chen Baiqing slightly raised her eyes:
"There aren't so many things in the world that happen exactly as planned. Master might be very busy at this moment. If you want to play, you can go by yourself. No one is stopping you."
Hearing this, Cui Hao's tone became serious and he said earnestly:
"That's different. Is it the same with master leading us and without master leading us?"
Hearing this, Chen Baiqing glanced at Cui Hao's empty teacup and then picked up the teapot to pour him another big half - cup.
Although she knew that Cui Hao might be just trying to please her.
But she liked to hear this. It was a reward.
The Green Snake remained silent and quietly sipped the tea. It didn't have any special feelings for Chu Xingchen at present.
After all, it had had relatively little contact with him, and its favorability towards him was temporarily lower than that towards Chen Baiqing, who would pour it tea.
The scene suddenly fell silent for a moment, but the next moment, everyone's eyes turned towards the gate.
"Here we are. Later, let Baiqing introduce you to everyone."
Everyone present naturally recognized that it was Chu Xingchen's voice.
Chen Baiqing immediately stood up and casually smoothed the skirt on her body. But this time, she didn't go to her master on her own initiative. She obediently stood in place.
Chu Xingchen stepped into the door. Naturally, he saw everyone and then said with a smile to Xie Lingyu beside him:
"We've come at a good time. Little Baiqing is right here."
A gentle smile appeared on Xie Lingyu's face as she greeted everyone:
"Long time no see."
Cui Hao stood up: "Uncle Xie, long time no see."
Lin Luoyu followed suit and also greeted Xie Lingyu.
The purest smile appeared on Chen Baiqing's face, and her eyes were full of joy as she looked at her master:
"Master, long time no see."
Although it had only been less than two months since they last met, for Chen Baiqing, the days without her master felt like a very long time.
Chu Xingchen walked forward and reached out to touch his beloved one.
"Little Baiqing, long time no see."
