Lin Ling rushed to clean up, and Xun Zhixue let her do it.

Before leaving, Xun Zhixue also reminded Lin Ling: "Spend more time on cultivation!"

As soon as Xun Zhixue left, Lin Lingru felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly packed up her things and went back in to check on Chu Jing who was sleeping soundly.

They had not slept in the same room for a long time, probably in the second year after they came to the mountain.

Seeing Chu Jing sleeping soundly and defenselessly, Lin Ling's gaze moved down to the collar of Chu Jing that exposed his collarbone.

Suddenly, I thought of what Xuanyuan Yuli said about the beauty emerging from the bath, and the scene when I just saw my senior brother carrying Chu Jing back to the bed.

Lin Ling felt a little strange.

Although she and Chu Jing were raised by their senior brother, time passes by in the mountains. Even after eleven years, Xun Zhixue still looks like a young man, just like when they first met.

Now the three of them are standing together. Who can tell the age difference between them if they don’t know them?

Moreover, for those who practice Taoism, the difference of ten years or so is just a matter of breathing.

Is it inappropriate for senior brother to do this?

Lin Ling reached out and lifted Chu Jing's quilt up.

Get the thoughts out of your head.

Senior brother has grown up in the sect since he was a child, so he should not be very sensitive to the differences between men and women!

She was thinking of these weird things because she had read Xiaoli's messy sketchbooks too much!

How could she suspect that her senior brother had any feelings for Xiaojing?

The next day, Chu Jing slept until the afternoon.

When I woke up, I didn't feel any hangover discomfort. Instead, I felt refreshed and the spiritual energy in my body was particularly strong.

She took a sip of tea and asked Lin Ling, "I don't know why I suddenly felt the effects of the drug yesterday and fell asleep. Did you get me back to bed?"

Lin Ling paused while drinking her tea, and without even looking up, she simply nodded, "Ah, yes!"

"Xiao Jing, you have a poor alcohol tolerance. Don't drink so much next time when you are outside. Luckily, we were at home, and only my senior brother and I were there, otherwise it might have been dangerous."

Chu Jing nodded, thinking, "I know! But, Senior Brother? When did you come back last night?"

Lin Ling almost choked on her tea. "Senior Brother? I don't know. I didn't see you last night. You must have been busy. What's wrong? Does Xiao Jing want to talk to you about something?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Jing suddenly look outside the door.

Then Chu Jing stood up and walked quickly towards the door, "Brother! I was just looking for you! I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Xun Zhixue appeared at the door at some point. When Lin Ling saw Xun Zhixue, she was really choked this time.

She stood up from her chair, like a primary school student who was asked to answer a question in class, and shouted dryly, "Senior Brother!"

Xun Zhixue shifted his gaze slightly and glanced at Lin Ling. He frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand why Lin Ling lied.

He looked at Chu Jing in front of him and said gently as usual, "I came to you because of this matter."

"You drank so much last night, don't be so reckless next time!"

When he said the latter part, he glanced at Lin Ling meaningfully.

Lin Ling felt a chill on his back.

Although the senior brother looks gentle, he is actually very strict. Lin Ling is a little scared of him.

In the heart of Lin Ling, who lost both her parents at a young age, her gentle yet strict senior brother is the image of a parent.

She is naturally fearful and timid!

Chu Jing of course noticed the little things between Lin Ling and Xun Zhixue. She was confused, did something happen that she didn't know about?

In the plot, Xun Zhixue became possessed by a demon because he could not get the love he wanted from Lin Ling.

Now she didn't feel that Lin Ling had any feelings for Xun Zhixue beyond that of a senior apprentice brother and sister, and Xun Zhixue...

She also couldn't see that Xun Zhixue had any feelings for Lin Ling that went beyond that of a senior and junior brother.

Very good! Let's just keep our relationship as brothers and sisters pure, and nothing will happen!

After Chu Jing finished discussing cultivation matters with Xun Zhixue, he came out and saw Lin Ling practicing sword in the back.

When Lin Ling saw Chu Jing, she immediately put down her sword and ran over. "Xiao Jing! Did Senior Brother say anything?"

Chu Jing asked, "What did you say?"

Lin Ling: "Is there anything different from usual?"

Chu Jing shook his head: "No, it's the same as before."

Lin Ling felt relieved, thinking that she must have been overthinking it. "That's good! I was afraid that my senior brother would punish me again!"

"You don't even know that Xiaoli stole the jar of wine from her master's cellar yesterday! She was punished to stay out of the mountains for three months, plus practice swordsmanship for three hours every day!"

Chu Jing suddenly felt a chill in his stomach.

Good man, Xiaoli is such a restless guy that he can’t live peacefully unless he gets into trouble.

Next time I won’t dare eat anything from Xiaoli without asking where it comes from.

Chu Jing tugged at Lin Ling's arm and said, "Why don't we go find Elder Lin Ju and exchange him for a jar of good wine as an apology?"

Lin Ling said with a bitter face, "Is it possible? Xiaoli said that the wine in the jar yesterday was a 600-year-old immortal brew!"

Chu Jing: "Let's try it and see if it works."

Chu Jing and Lin Ling went to find Elder Lin Ju, who said that he had wine, but the conditions he proposed were very difficult to meet.

Everything else is easy, but the three spiritual herbs are very difficult to obtain.

Lin Ling gave up hope immediately after hearing this, "Xiao Jing, how about we go find our senior brother and master?"

Chu Jing and Lin Ling first went to the sect's mission hall to take a look, and only saw that the reward for one of the spiritual herbs was for one mission.

The mission was still a bit difficult for them. It was to go to a forest near Huye City to investigate the recent missing pedestrian cases.

Their cultivation level is just enough to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, three or above.

Lin Ling was unsure and could only ask Chu Jing for his opinion, "What should we do? Should we accept this mission?"

Chu Jing looked at Lin Ling and shook his head helplessly, "Do we have any other choice?"

Lin Ling was dejected: "No."

Chu Jing and Lin Ling received the task, and when they returned to the mountain, they saw Xun Zhixue sitting in the yard.

Under the huge sycamore tree, there is a round carved stone table. Xun Zhixue, dressed in green, sits under the tree, holding a rolled-up book in her hands, with her head slightly lowered, looking focused and quiet.

However, the memory of being caught right after doing something bad in the past suddenly came to mind.

Lin Ling took a half step back and hid behind Chu Jing.

Chu Jing was not afraid of Xun Zhixue at all. She walked up to him and shouted, "Senior Brother! You're back so early today?"

Xun Zhixue raised his eyes from the book, and the book in his hand disappeared the moment he placed it on the stone table.

He nodded slightly towards Chu Jing as a response, then he waved his hand on the table, and three spiritual herbs lay neatly on the table.

Lin Ling saw that the three spiritual herbs were exactly what they needed. She ignored her fear and pointed at them in surprise, saying, "Spiritual herbs!"

She smiled flatteringly, "Hey, Brother, are these three spiritual herbs for us?"
