Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 81: The Great Confucian Returns, Welcomed by Ancestors!

"Senior brother, senior brother, are you okay?"

"I heard from Senior Brother Xuanqing that you're sick, so I came to take care of you."

It was Mao Ruxue.

Mao Ruxue's face was filled with worry.

This didn't seem fake, after all, she hoped that Chen Chang'an would pass on his position to her 'a hundred years later'.

But, this 'hundred years' referred to a normal lifespan, not an early death!

"It's nothing, just a recurrence of the injuries from before, so there are some minor issues. It'll be fine after a little rest."

Chen Chang'an's room happened to have four windows that were all next to the outside.

No matter which direction, one could feel the wind from the heavens and earth.

"Oh, I see."

"Then, senior brother, you should rest well."

Mao Ruxue nodded as if she understood.

Xuanqing only told her that Senior Brother Chen Chang'an was sick and asked her to come and take a look, but didn't specify what illness it was.

So she didn't really understand.

"Huh? Senior brother, what's going on? Why does your room have the smell of immortal goose blood?"

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue didn't know what she sensed, she sniffed hard with her nose, then asked in confusion.

"Huh? Immortal goose blood?"

"Junior sister, are you mistaken? We're on a flying boat, where would the immortal goose come from?"

Hearing Mao Ruxue's words, Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned.

"Senior brother, believe me, I didn't smell it wrong, it really is the smell of immortal goose blood."

Mao Ruxue said with great certainty.

How could she possibly smell it wrong?

You see, the immortal geese that Senior Brother Chen Chang'an brought up the mountain a few days ago were all killed by her.

She was very familiar with the smell of immortal goose blood.

"No, it's not just the smell of immortal goose blood, there's also a faint scent of jasmine."

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue frowned again because she found that within the smell of immortal goose blood, there was another scent.

A faint chrysanthemum fragrance.

This was really strange.

On this flying boat from far away, where did these two things come from?

"Senior brother, did you secretly eat the immortal goose?"

"How is that possible? Do I look like someone who is so greedy?" Chen Chang'an shook his head and said impatiently.

"Oh, I see."

After hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue nodded.

Indeed, that was the truth. Senior brother was not someone who was so greedy.

"Huh? What's this?"

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue discovered something.

It was found under Chen Chang'an's bed.

Something wrapped in a specially made silk cloth.

Mao Ruxue walked over and picked up the small package, only to find that it contained a specially made blood bag.

Moreover, judging from the smell emanating from it, the blood bag should undoubtedly contain the immortal goose blood she had just smelled.

Immediately, Mao Ruxue frowned.

"Senior brother, how come you have a blood bag containing immortal goose blood here?"

Without waiting for Chen Chang'an to react, she opened the small package.

In an instant, a small cluster of immortal goose blood appeared before her eyes.

Above the blood, strands of ethereal immortal energy floated, giving off a dazzling brilliance.

Immortal goose blood is different from the blood of ordinary poultry. It contains immortal energy, has a natural fragrance, and does not coagulate.

"Hmm?"

"Senior brother, is this package of immortal goose blood yours?"

"Why is the immortal goose blood here different from the ones I saw before?"

"Isn't immortal goose blood supposed to be bright red? Why does this one have a hint of pale gold?"

"Moreover, it seems to have some chrysanthemum mixed in it."

"Could it be that senior brother likes the taste of chrysanthemum?"

Mao Ruxue handed the opened blood bag to Chen Chang'an.

Immortal goose blood is a very good tonic.

It can be consumed raw or cooked, not only tasting good but also benefiting the complexion and health.

In the past, Mao Ruxue used to carry some with her to quench her thirst, so she naturally assumed that the package in Chen Chang'an's room was for him to satisfy his cravings when thirsty.

"Um, junior sister, you can say that."

Seeing Mao Ruxue handing over the immortal goose blood, Chen Chang'an's mouth twitched, but he still reluctantly accepted it.

Then, he sealed it again.

"Senior brother, aren't you going to drink it?"

"No need, I don't want to drink it now." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

He really didn't like drinking raw immortal goose blood!

"By the way, junior sister, I want to discuss something with you. You must not tell anyone, okay?"

"Senior brother, what is it? Tell me." Mao Ruxue was puzzled, not understanding what was going on with her senior brother.

In her memory, since she came up the mountain, her senior brother Chen Chang'an rarely had anything to trouble her with.

No, except for the three meals a day.

Chen Chang'an said in a low voice,

"It's just, junior sister."

"Can you promise me not to tell anyone about what just happened here?"

"Huh? What happened here just now? What happened?"

Mao Ruxue was a little confused.

Did something happen just now?

"It's about this." Chen Chang'an pointed to the immortal goose blood bag in his hand.

"Senior brother, are you asking me not to tell anyone that you like to drink immortal goose blood and even add chrysanthemum as seasoning?"

Seeing the blood bag in Chen Chang'an's hand, Mao Ruxue quickly understood his meaning and asked immediately.

"Yes, that's right, just like that." Chen Chang'an nodded.

Then, he let out a long sigh and said,

"Junior sister, you also know."

"As a Confucian scholar, and moreover, a well-cultivated one."

"It is very shameful to drink the blood of immortal geese."

"If this were to be known, I might face the attacks of all Confucian scholars in the world. By then, I might not be able to live in this world anymore."

"So, I ask my junior sister to help me keep this secret."

"Especially, do not let Senior Brother Xuanqingzi and the sect leader know, remember that."

Listening to Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue's expression became serious.

Then she solemnly patted her chest and said, "Senior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely keep this matter confidential for you."

"But, Senior Brother, there is something I don't understand."

"Why do we need to pay special attention to Senior Brother Xuanqingzi and the sect leader?"

Then, Mao Ruxue asked in confusion.

Chen Chang'an explained, "Because the sect leader is a big mouth, once he knows something, the whole world will know."

Mao Ruxue nodded, then continued to ask, "What about Senior Brother Xuanqingzi?"

"I don't think Senior Brother Xuanqingzi talks a lot, so why do we need to be cautious of him?"

At this moment, Mao Ruxue did not wait for Chen Chang'an's direct answer.

Instead, Chen Chang'an pulled her aside and said mysteriously, "Junior sister, it's simple."

"Because Senior Brother Xuanqingzi and the sect leader are close friends, bosom buddies."

"Senior Brother, are you saying that the sect leader and Senior Brother Xuanqingzi...?"

Mao Ruxue suddenly felt that her worldview had been shattered, and she exclaimed in astonishment.

However, before she could finish her sentence, Chen Chang'an covered her mouth.

"Hush~!"

"Junior sister, lower your voice, Senior Brother Xuanqingzi is still outside, don't let him hear."

"So, what I mean is, Senior Brother Xuanqingzi and the sect leader are in cahoots."

"No matter what happens, as long as Senior Brother Xuanqingzi knows, it's as if the sect leader knows too."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand, I understand." Mao Ruxue nodded quickly, there was nothing she didn't understand.

However, despite her words, Mao Ruxue's heart was very unsettled at this moment.

She couldn't understand how Senior Brother Xuanqingzi, who usually seemed so kind, could be this kind of person.

What's more, she couldn't even close her eyes now.

Because every time she closed her eyes, the scene of Sect Leader Li Daoran and Senior Brother Xuanqingzi galloping on horses in a certain room of the sect would appear in her mind.

Instantly, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

This is so torturous!

"Senior Brother, since you're fine, I'll take my leave now. I'll come to see you later."

Mao Ruxue bid farewell.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll take a nap first. Remember to call me when you arrive at the sect."

Chen Chang'an nodded.

Mao Ruxue left, and as soon as she went out, she headed towards the room behind the flying boat.

There, her room is located.

"Oh, Mao Shimei, why have you come back?"

"Is Chen Shidi alright?"

On her way back, Mao Ruxue happened to meet Xuanqingzi walking from backstage.

Upon seeing Mao Ruxue, Xuanqingzi immediately spoke up.

"Ah, it's nothing."

"I just wanted to come back, so I came back first."

"As for my senior brother, Xuan is fine now. Xuanqingzi Shixiong, you don't need to worry."

Upon seeing Xuanqingzi, Mao Ruxue was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, Xuanqingzi was like a devil in her heart.

Especially the image of the two old men with bare arms riding horses in her mind, it made her feel like she was seeing a devil when she saw Xuanqingzi.

So, after a simple response, she hurriedly ran away.

Sparks flew along the way.

As a result, this phenomenon occurred.

When Xuanqingzi realized it during the conversation, he turned his head and found that Mao Ruxue was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? What's going on today?"

"Why do I feel like Mao Shimei seems to be afraid of me?"

Xuanqingzi, who couldn't understand his mind, became even more confused.

Clearly, when they met before, Mao Ruxue got along well with him and showed respect.

At least this kind of situation didn't happen before.

How could it change in just a moment?

Strange, too strange.

Perhaps Mao Shimei had something urgent to deal with.

Forget it, let's not think about this for now.

Compared to this, it's better for me to quickly increase the speed of the flying boat and return to the sect as soon as possible.

Xuanqingzi felt a sense of urgency, especially after seeing Chen Chang'an coughing up blood just now, this sense of urgency became even stronger.

In his opinion, it was extremely dangerous outside.

Returning to the sect as soon as possible would allow him to be more at ease.

Buzz~!

Finally, after more than a day of rapid flight, the group returned to Heavenly Water Sect.

The flying boat directly stopped at the main hall of the sect.

At this moment, many people had already gathered in the main hall of the sect.

A rough look revealed that most of the disciples and elders of Heavenly Water Sect were present.

Not only disciples and elders,

Even the Supreme Elder Li Xuandao, who had previously announced the closed-door cultivation, and the Second Supreme Elder Yang Qingdao, who was forced into closed-door cultivation, were also present.

The great scholar returns today, and the ancestors welcome him!

Yes, they were waiting for Chen Chang'an.

No other reason.

Because as early as yesterday,

The news of Chen Chang'an effortlessly defeating the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Grand Sword Immortal Tian Yuanzhu had already spread to the Heavenly Water Domain.

For such a Transcendent Level expert, and one from their own sect, who wouldn't want to come and see?
