Chapter 122: The Domineering Lord Bai
After Lingxiang returned to Qingwei Peak, she only instructed Long Qi and the other two to take good care of the gate and not to neglect their lessons and practice. Then she really locked herself up, just like last time, and even pasted a talisman on the door, so that no matter how hard Long Qi knocked, he could not open the door.
What made Long Qi even more depressed was that the little brat named A Yuan, who was brought to Zhuyuan by Lingxiang, actually lived in Xianyunju. No one knew who brought him there or if he came here on his own.
Xianyunju was not a big place to begin with, and now there was another person, a man! Although this child whom he regarded as a "man" looked like he was no more than ten years old...
But he is indeed a bit arrogant every day!
Normally, the three of them would take care of Xianyunju according to the rules, either sweeping or repairing it, or they would go to the mountains to collect firewood and look for wild mushrooms and fungus as food.
And this A Yuan just lay in the yard all day long, on a bamboo chair that no one knew where he got from. Even though it was early spring and it was extremely cold, he was as calm as ever, and from time to time he would eat some fruits in his hands to pass the time.
What’s even more infuriating is that he was actually bossing me around. His domineering attitude was exactly the same as Lingxiang’s when he first went to Youran Ju!
And he only treats himself like this!
To be honest, he was angry and felt really depressed, but he couldn't argue with a child who looked as thin as a bamboo pole, right?
Long Qi was puzzled. They had both begged on the streets before, so why was there such a big difference?
Even though I have been a coward before, I am at best a scoundrel. To be like him is simply outrageous!
When the elders heard that Lingxiang had really been thinking behind closed doors, they were all extremely surprised and suspicious. They were suspicious that this little ancestor had really grown up after experiencing the incident of Yuanhui. They were also surprised that according to the usual situation, although Lingxiang looked like this, she might be up to something bad!
Especially Master Fuyin. After Bai Wuchang left that day, Lingxiang actually followed him to Qiuyun Peak. She said that she hadn't seen Maidong for a long time, but she was wandering around everywhere. I wonder what strange things she buried in his temple. Before leaving, she even said that she would come often after she received the punishment for her crime.
Could it be that Lingxiang had taken a fancy to something of his? Qiuyun Peak was very poor, and there were only a few treasures. If this little devil really wanted it and took it away, it would only be a temporary pain for him, but it was so annoying, it was really sad.
The elders’ guess was absolutely right. After all, they had watched Lingxiang grow up, and no one knew her better than them.
Look, on the surface, Lingxiang's door was closed, and she had a talisman on her wall to reflect on her past mistakes, but in fact, she was holding a plate of food in her room and smiling happily. If you want to know why, it was because Wu Yuan had found a bunch of storybooks for her on the street that day, and now she was lying on the bed reading them day and night.
People often say that Maidong has been bewitched by some vulgar reading materials, but when it comes to himself, he has lost all his seriousness and prejudices.
About seven days later, seeing A Yuan lying in the yard, Long Qi could not bear it anymore.
"Yuan, at least you have healthy hands and feet. If you really want to take care of your health, you should stay at home. Why are you acting so arrogantly in the yard like this?"
This kid had just been shouting Lingxiang in the yard, and he was calling her so intimately that he couldn't tolerate it!
He...he actually called her...
Call her Xiao Xiangxiang!
Upon hearing this, A Yuan glanced at Long Qi, spat out a piece of grape skin and said lazily: "Don't call me A Yuan A Yuan, those are my old names, now you should call me Lord Bai."
……
"Since you and I have made a contract, it is customary for me to change your name so that you can serve as a word spirit." Lingxiang said as she walked around Wu Yuan with a scrutinizing look on her face.
Changing the name? That's interesting. After all, I've died once, so logically, I shouldn't be able to use the name Wu Yuan anymore. But I was too lazy to think about it. At that time, I was full of resentment, so I didn't care about it.
"It's just that naming is a bit troublesome," Lingxiang pondered as she walked in front of Wu Yuan, "How about this, since you are dressed in white and look like a white fox, I will call you Xiaobai from now on."
Xiaobai? Wu Yuan looked embarrassed when he heard that.
"This... I do have a cave after all, so isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to give it such a name?"
Lingxiang was sincere. "Why is it inappropriate? I think the name Xiaobai is very good, easy to pronounce and vivid. Don't you want it? Then... call it Laobai?"
Wu Yuan immediately decided to call her Xiao Bai! Ling Xiang smiled and said, "What happened to Wu Yuan in the past has nothing to do with you anymore. I hope you won't look back at the past. From now on, you will be called Xiao Bai. You will be safe and happy in the future, and everything will go well."
Looking at Lingxiang's crescent-shaped eyebrows, Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
……
Return this seat, return your majesty? He is still very young, and has only been in the sect for a few days. He has not learned anything good, but has learned such shameless behavior. I don’t know where Lingxiang picked up this little beggar.
Just when Long Qi was thinking about teaching this ignorant brat a lesson, Lingxiang's door opened.
"You know what I'm doing in the house, why are you making such a fuss?"
Then she turned to Yuan and said, "It's all over, Xiaobai, why are you still like this? Why don't you change back?"
Change back? Long Qi was puzzled, and even Ren Dong Xin Yi beside him was confused. At this time, Yuan, who was sitting on the bamboo chair, stood up with a smile.
"How is it, are you enjoying reading my carefully selected book?"
As he stood up, spiritual energy lingered around him and his appearance changed in an instant.
Long Qi was shocked when he saw this. This...
This……
Isn't this the old fox from Cangzhou City? !
Thinking of this, he also exclaimed in surprise. When Xiaobai heard it, his face immediately showed great displeasure.
"What do you mean by an old fox? Have you ever seen an old fox as suave as me? How can I be related to old?" Then he turned to look at Lingxiang, "You know, my name now is..."
He stopped talking halfway because he suddenly remembered that he also disliked the name Xiaobai at that time, but Lingxiang insisted on it, so he chose a relatively reluctant name.
Xiaobai cleared his throat to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"In short, you should remember that from now on, I am Lord Bai!"
"What do you mean by Lord Bai? He is just a fox that has become a spirit through cultivation. You still call him Lord Bai. How shameless of you to be old!"
Long Qi and Xiao Bai were still arguing, but Ling Xiang did not try to stop them. She just sighed softly and said:
"You three have been at my Qingwei Peak for some time, but I have never taught you any Taoist magic. Now that I have lifted the confinement, you should prepare yourself today. Tomorrow I will take you to Fourth Senior Brother's Langhuan Pavilion."
