BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 519: Returning to Yunlan Sect with the Child!

Chapter 519: Returning to Yunlan Sect with the Child!

Half a month later, within the Nine-Colored Valley of Yunlan Sect.

Liu Ling was seated cross-legged in meditation when suddenly, the space in front of him began to distort violently.

On the other side, Qing Lin had already been holding Cai'er, her gaze fixed on the distorted space.

Sensing the fluctuations, Liu Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Ling, Qing Lin, and Cai'er, three figures emerged from the distorted space—or more accurately, four.

Little Yu Chen was standing in Gu He's arms, curiously surveying her surroundings.

"Master, Mistress, Uncle Black Scaled, you're back! Oh, who is this little one? She's so cute!"

Qing Lin happily ran toward Gu He, but the moment she noticed the little Yu Chen in his arms, her eyes lit up with affection.

"My name is Gu Yu Chen!"

The little one, seeing Qing Lin bouncing over excitedly, spoke her name in a childish, milky voice.

"Gu Yu Chen? Could this be Master and Mistress's child?"

"Master and Mistress have been away for over a year and a half. If you think about it, the timing matches!"

Hearing little Yu Chen's tender voice, Qing Lin was momentarily stunned, but then her face brightened even more.

"Little Yu Chen, come here, let your Qing Lin sister hold you!" Qing Lin spread her arms excitedly, calling out to Yu Chen.

However, Yu Chen's attention was not on Qing Lin. Her gaze had been fixed on Cai'er, who was hopping around on Qing Lin's palm, and hadn't moved since.

"Yi ya, yi ya!"

"The master has a child!"

"Do you want to play with me?"

Noticing the little one's gaze, Cai'er lightly hopped from Qing Lin's hand to Gu He's arm, now just a short distance away from Yu Chen.

"Play... want to play!"

Seeing Cai'er move to Gu He's arm, Yu Chen quickly followed with her eyes, her small, delicate hand slowly reaching out to grab Cai'er.

Cai'er, seeing this, lightly hopped again, dodging Yu Chen's outstretched hand.

"Haha, haha, so fun!"

Yu Chen, somewhat stubborn, reached out again, but Cai'er easily avoided her once more, this time moving to Gu He's other arm.

"Huh? Where did it go?"

Seeing Cai'er disappear, Yu Chen turned her head, searching for her.

Witnessing this scene, Qing Lin, who had been completely ignored, couldn't help but laugh.

By this time, Liu Ling had also walked over. After paying his respects to Gu He and Yun Yun, his gaze also settled on Yu Chen.

"Little Yu Chen, let your brother hold you, okay?"

Liu Ling's eyes were gentle, his lips curving into a crescent moon as he spread his arms, saying the same thing Qing Lin had earlier.

"No, I want to play with her!"

Hearing Liu Ling's words, Yu Chen glanced back at him, pouted, and then ignored him, still reaching out to grab Cai'er.

Seeing this, Liu Ling could only smile awkwardly.

"Daddy, put me down! I want to play with her!" Yu Chen's soft little feet wriggled in Gu He's arms as she tried to get down.

"Alright!"

Hearing Yu Chen's words, Gu He smiled, then slowly crouched down to place her on the ground, instructing Cai'er to keep an eye on her.

Upon hearing Gu He's instructions, Cai'er lowered her flight altitude and began circling around little Yu Chen.

Soon after, Yu Chen started toddling after Cai'er, her steps unsteady.

Seeing this, Liu Ling and Qing Lin, feeling a bit competitive, followed along.

Eventually, after Liu Ling and Qing Lin kept bringing out small trinkets, Yu Chen finally began to pay attention to them.

Liu Ling crouched down, holding a small wooden tiger carving about the size of a palm, and waved it in front of Yu Chen, saying softly, "Little Yu Chen, you have to call me 'brother' and call her 'Qing Lin sister'! If you do, this tiger will be yours."

"Okay, brother, Qing Lin sister!"

Lured by the wooden carving, Yu Chen called out to Liu Ling and Qing Lin in her sweet, childish voice.

"Haha!"

Hearing this, Liu Ling, satisfied, handed the wooden carving to Yu Chen.

Just as he was about to say something more, Yu Chen had already taken the newly acquired carving and run off to show it to Cai'er.

Her actions left Liu Ling and Qing Lin feeling a bit deflated.

"Junior Sister, it seems we're getting old!"

Liu Ling forced a smile and uttered a somewhat melancholic remark.

"Old? What are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Qing Lin shot Liu Ling a glare and retorted, "It's you who's old, Senior Brother! I'm not old at all!"

After saying this, Qing Lin ran back to Yu Chen to continue playing with her.

"Haha, husband, look at them!"

On the other side, Yun Yun watched Yu Chen playing, her eyes filled with joy.

Yun Yun had always been naturally serene. Before meeting Gu He, her stunning beauty was like that of a flower fairy secluded in the mountains, exuding an ethereal charm. Now, her deeply ingrained calmness was complemented by a touch of maternal warmth.

"Yu Chen is adapting to her surroundings quite quickly!" Gu He responded gently to Yun Yun.

That evening, back at Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, who seemed like an otherworldly fairy, once again prepared a meal for Gu He and the others. Qing Lin, being thoughtful, came over to help.

...

After dinner, Yu Chen continued playing with Cai'er in the Nine-Colored Valley, while Gu He called Liu Ling and Qing Lin aside.

Gu He first looked at Liu Ling and said slowly, "Liu Ling, didn't you say before that you wanted to refine a Shapeshifting Pill? Have you succeeded yet?"

Gu He could tell at a glance Liu Ling's current state. His cultivation had improved by two stars compared to a few months ago, reaching the level of a Seven-Star Dou Emperor.

This was the result of the powerful cultivation speed brought by a Heaven-tier advanced technique, and this was despite Liu Ling spending most of his time studying alchemy. Moreover, Liu Ling's soul realm had now surpassed that of most ordinary people, reaching the late Mortal Soul stage.

Hearing Gu He's question, Liu Ling lowered his head slightly and replied, "Master, I attempted to refine it once before, but I failed. So, I plan to wait until my cultivation is stronger before trying again with the second set of ingredients."

"Liu Ling, actually, the failure in refining has little to do with your cultivation level. The Shapeshifting Pill is a high-tier seventh-grade pill, and refining it requires a vast and complex array of spiritual herbs.

The reason for the failure is due to slightly insufficient soul power," Gu He explained slowly, seeing the slight disappointment on Liu Ling's face. "However, with your current soul realm, you have already met the requirements for refining the Shapeshifting Pill. You need to relax your mindset and not worry about things like running out of ingredients if you fail."
