Chapter 35: Lin Xuan is also stunned! Going to Mount Longhu to spar a little
Only after taking on disciples did Lao Tianshi truly understand the feelings his own master had back in the day.
Just like Zuo Ruotong of the Three-One Sect and his master Zhang Jingqing, as well as those seniors of the older generation.
They all hoped their disciples would possess self-confidence, but not blind confidence.
They hoped these disciples would encounter some setbacks on their path of growth rather than having everything go smoothly, so as to avoid developing an arrogant, overbearing, or overly conceited personality.
Now, Lao Tianshi already had this feeling.
Perhaps because of the current strength of Tianshi Mansion, these disciples were already showing signs of this.
So when Zhang Lingyu returned this time and informed him of his defeat at the Lu family's birthday banquet, Lao Tianshi was not angry but pleased.
Because he could see that after this defeat, Zhang Lingyu's state of mind had become more composed.
This was a good thing, something he had always wanted this disciple to experience.
Since he wanted to keep shearing the same sheep, Lao Tianshi set his sights on Lin Xuan.
And the arrival of Fang Dongtian this time was, for the old man, no different than having a pillow handed to him just as he felt sleepy.
Let's see just how far this disciple of Baiyun Guan can go.
"Master, my fellow disciples..."
Hearing Lao Tianshi suggest that other disciples spar with Lin Xuan, Zhang Lingyu hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
"Daoist Lin is young after all, while my fellow disciples have all been cultivating for a very long time."
"Let's see if that little guy from Baiyun Guan dares to come."
Lao Tianshi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Although I have only met Daoist Lin once, if he wants to come, he will naturally come without considering so much, but wouldn't this be a bit bullying?"
"Don't speak too soon, Lingyu. According to your description, this child is not simple."
Who is Lao Tianshi?
He has experienced so much over these past hundred-plus years.
It is no exaggeration to say he has eaten more salt than Zhang Lingyu has eaten rice.
Just by listening to the description, Lao Tianshi knew that when sparring with Zhang Lingyu, Lin Xuan hadn't used his true strength at all.
Or rather, he hadn't been serious at all.
He might not have even used one-tenth of his ability.
Lao Tianshi had also heard of the prized disciple of Baiyun Guan.
It was just that Baiyun Guan had hidden him away like a treasure, not wanting to let a single whisper of news leak out.
Moreover, he had learned from Lu Jin.
That junior had formed a Golden Core.
How many years had it been since an expert in the Daoist Complete Perfection lineage had formed a Golden Core?
Therefore, Lao Tianshi actually wanted to personally test what kind of methods this Daoist Immortal who had formed a Golden Core truly possessed.
Of course, Lao Tianshi would not say this out loud.
After all, if he said that, Fang Dong would likely not agree to anything.
"Go, and contact that child. If he is unwilling to come, try to persuade him; there is no harm in having an exchange."
Lao Tianshi waved his hand, signaling for Zhang Lingyu to go down.
"Yes, this disciple understands."
Zhang Lingyu nodded upon hearing this and turned to leave.
After the young disciple left, Lao Tianshi was silent for a moment and sighed.
Is it good or bad to condense a Golden Core in this era?
Such a figure, if placed in ancient times, would absolutely be a Daoist Immortal, a person like a Land Immortal.
A presence that even the emperors of the Human Realm would have to bow to upon meeting.
……
Baiyun Guan.
When he received the call from Fang Dongtian, Lin Xuan was in the middle of lecturing Qing She.
He had never imagined that before even raising a child of his own, he would have to face a rebellious young girl.
"Did you really listen this time?"
Lin Xuan looked helpless.
Qing She nodded repeatedly.
"I'm taking the motorcycle away for now."
Lin Xuan said.
Then, Qing She lunged forward and hugged Lin Xuan's calf.
"Benefactor, my bike is innocent, please spare it, I really won't ride it in the Daoist temple anymore."
Qing She pleaded with a pitiful look.
Lin Xuan glared at the young girl hugging his leg, then glanced at Bai She.
Bai She stepped forward and picked up Qing She.
"Benefactor, I will educate my younger sister well."
Bai She said earnestly.
But looking at Bai She, who was dressed even more fashionably than Qing She, Lin Xuan covered his forehead with his hand and looked up at the sky.
What a disaster.
As for Bai She's promise, Lin Xuan didn't believe a single word of it.
It is already quite good that Bai She can control herself.
The key is, if you say they did something wrong, they didn't really commit any offenses.
It's just that kind of minor mistake that doesn't warrant making a big deal out of it, but still can't be ignored.
"Forget it, you two go down the mountain!"
Lin Xuan sighed and said.
Upon hearing this, Er She prepared to kneel again.
"Stand up for me! How many times have I said it? You cannot kneel, you cannot kneel."
Lin Xuan shouted sharply, and Er She stood frozen on the spot, as wooden as a clay chicken.
"Benefactor, don't drive us away."
Bai She looked pitiful.
"I'm going with you. If you want to cause trouble, go down the mountain and cause trouble for others; don't cause trouble for the Daoist temple. My master is already reaching his limit."
Lin Xuan said helplessly.
"So, we're going down the mountain to play?"
Qing She's eyes lit up.
Lin Xuan looked at the bandage on Qing She's knee, squinting his eyes as he watched her.
This gaze made Qing She shrink her neck.
This was from when she fell while riding her bike; Lin Xuan was speechless about this.
"Forget it, you two get ready, and carry your bike down the mountain."
Lin Xuan waved his hand.
Qing She was overjoyed upon hearing this, turning around in a hurry and walking away quickly.
Bai She stood on the spot, at a loss for what to do.
"Go pack up, or do you still want to coil around my wrist?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai She also turned and ran.
Watching Bai She's back, Lin Xuan sighed.
How is one supposed to teach this?
He truly has no experience.
Even before he transmigrated, he didn't have any children.
The phone rang, pulling Lin Xuan's thoughts back.
He checked the caller and answered.
"Grandmaster."
"Hm? Go to Longhu Mountain and spar with the disciples of Lao Tianshi?"
"Sure, that works. I was just preparing to go down the mountain; the two young ladies on the mountain are becoming too much."
"Just those two Snake Immortals."
"Of course I know. How could I possibly drive them away? I'll definitely keep them by my side."
"Yes, we'll go together, but this time I won't let them turn into bracelets. My master got them temporary identification documents."
"Alright, alright, I'll set off now, but I expect my speed won't be very fast."
"I'll do my best!"
Lin Xuan finished speaking to the phone and hung up.
Perfect, then I'll take a trip to Longhu Mountain and see how to educate these two on the way.
Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Qing came over carrying the motorcycle.
She was literally carrying it over.
This motorcycle doesn't weigh too much, probably five or six hundred jin, but it's not something an ordinary person could just carry and walk with.
Of course, Qing She can lift it easily, but if she goes down the mountain like this, she'll probably make the headlines.
"Shocking: Young Maiden Walks with Ease While Carrying Heavy Motorcycle on Her Shoulder."
Seeing Lin Xuan's gesture, Qing She put down the motorcycle on her shoulder.
"Benefactor, didn't you tell me to carry the bike down the mountain?"
"It would be great if you listened to and followed my other words as well."
Lin Xuan was helpless.
On the other side, Bai She was much more normal, carrying a rather cute little backpack.
"You two go to the main gate and wait for me; I'm going to have a word with my master."
Lin Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
"Also, stop carrying your bike. Can you push it instead?"
Lin Xuan said listlessly.
