Chapter 133 Looks Quite Nice... Pleasing to the Eye
Xuanwu Kingdom, the sect.
Chu Xingchen suddenly sat up from the bed. His cultivation base had already slowly climbed to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Carefully sensing the feedback, he discovered that this feedback came from Li Xingtian.
Hmm...
If Li Xingtian's cultivation base had progressed, he should be safe and sound.
This kid should count as being on the right track now, right?
Sure enough, compared to his disciples' cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, he still hoped more that they could be safe and worry-free.
In short, this could be considered good news.
After Chu Xingchen got up and changed his clothes, he pushed the door open and walked out. He unexpectedly found that it was Lin Luoyu sitting on the stone chair not far away today.
Her daily schedule was somewhat similar to Li Xingtian's.
She would cultivate diligently when there was nothing to do. Unlike Cui Hao, who would come out for a stroll every now and then, and occasionally even run to Yuzhou City to play around.
Cui Hao focused on relaxed cultivation.
He could not be said to be effortless. It was just that everything was most afraid of comparison; look at others and look at yourself.
However, compared to Li Yingling, Cui Hao could be considered diligent. After all, Cui Hao basically rarely slept and was basically cultivating at night.
Chu Xingchen did not speak but walked straight to the vicinity of the stone table and sat opposite Lin Luoyu.
Lin Luoyu, who was in a daze, heard the movement. She came back to her senses and looked sideways to see her Master, then hurriedly stood up and cupped her hands:
"Master..."
"Sit." Chu Xingchen waved his hand gently.
Hearing this, Lin Luoyu slowly sat back down.
Chu Xingchen looked sideways at her: "Today is rare. Could it be that you have encountered some bottleneck? Do you need Master's help?"
"I have not encountered any bottleneck, I just felt stifled in my heart and came to get some fresh air."
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen revealed a look of slight pity. If it were a cultivation bottleneck, it could be solved with just a single pill.
He raised his head to look at the sun hanging at noon and asked:
"Did your Eldest Senior Sister and the others go out?"
In the past, it was always Chen Baiqing here at this place, either reading books or studying Divine Abilities.
To find Chen Baiqing, walking here was definitely correct.
Speaking of which, the fish in this water pool were also tormented quite badly by Chen Baiqing.
One could only say that a genius was a genius; even playing with fish could be done in novel ways.
Arranging them to dance could only be considered an old trick.
Chen Baiqing was recently researching how to make fish roast themselves...
This heaven-defying plan received strong support from Li Yingling.
It had to be said that no matter what nonsensical things geniuses did, they would have their own special solutions.
Even if this solution was also very nonsensical...
The two researched for a few more days, saying there was great progress and they would perform it for him then.
Chu Xingchen thought about it; he should get some fish and throw them into the pool later.
Lest before they could perform for him, the fish would all be played to death by the two.
Lin Luoyu nodded and answered: "En, Eldest Senior Sister took them to Yuzhou City to buy things."
"Then what about you? You did not want to go?"
"Not really, it is just that Senior Sister asked me to wait here today."
Chu Xingchen's gaze was doubtful: "Hm?"
Li Yingling should not be the type of person who would leave someone behind.
Lin Luoyu hurriedly opened her mouth to explain: "Senior Sister has always treated me very well."
This was the truth. If one really had to speak of favoritism, Li Yingling probably only favored Chen Baiqing more.
Cui Hao and she should be about the same in Li Yingling's heart. If anyone was to stay behind, it should have been the two of them staying behind together.
Chu Xingchen did not speak but chatted about other things with Lin Luoyu.
They did not wait for very long.
Cui Hao walked back from the mountain gate carrying a large bundle on his back.
It was very much in the style of Li Xingtian when he was in Yuzhou City back then.
Li Yingling held Chen Baiqing's hand. Seeing Chu Xingchen on the stone chair, she greeted him with a face full of smiles:
"Master, good morning."
"En, why did you buy so much?"
Li Yingling revealed a look of pride and looked at Cui Hao beside her.
Cui Hao, who was very observant, put down the bundle and opened it.
Li Yingling took out the most exquisite gift box from the bundle:
"Today is Fourth Junior Sister's birthday. Of course, what I bought are things to celebrate Junior Sister's birthday."
Lin Luoyu was stunned upon hearing this, her gaze suddenly becoming a bit misty as she looked at her own Senior Sister.
Li Yingling walked in front of Lin Luoyu with a smile and handed the small gift box in her hand to Lin Luoyu:
"The gift is small, but the sentiment is great. Happy Birthday."
When registering at the Demon Suppression Division, everyone's native place, age, and date of birth would be recorded when obtaining a token.
This was to facilitate confirmation of the situation later.
Lin Luoyu took the small gift box with a moved expression. Gently feeling the packaging box, she answered softly:
"Thank you, everyone."
Li Yingling did not respond to this sentence but turned around and started directing the arrangement with a smile.
She bought quite a few things here. When she was in the residence before, she naturally did not celebrate birthdays, but she had seen others celebrate birthdays.
Small lanterns, longevity noodles, words of blessing.
Li Yingling herself naturally had never been invited to participate. She could only hide behind the door and watch the inner room decorated with lanterns and colored banners from afar, watching their joy and jubilation.
Due to her special status, when grand banquets were held in the past, Li Yingling could take the opportunity to steal quite a few eggs, fruits, and the like to hide in her sleeves and take back.
Little Yingling was very satisfied at that time.
But she would also wonder.
When could she celebrate a birthday once, even if it was someone else's?
So, now was also very good.
Li Yingling could personally celebrate Junior Sister's birthday.
She smiled and started directing the Junior Brother at the side to decorate.
Ning Qianqian did not go; she was preparing longevity noodles, in which she put two soft-boiled eggs.
Not long after Li Yingling returned, she walked out carrying a bowl of noodles.
Chu Xingchen did not speak but looked at the scene before him with a smile.
At the same time, he was thinking.
When it was his eldest disciple's birthday, he should also organize something special for her.
Li Yingling definitely did not know that he actually knew her date of birth.
Regarding celebrating Lin Luoyu's birthday this time, Li Yingling still had a plan.
Everything started to proceed in an orderly manner according to the plan.
When the arrangement was completed, everyone sat around the stone table.
Chu Xingchen felt something was missing, then suddenly came to a realization and said:
"Right, Master will teach you to sing a song."
Li Yingling looked over with a doubtful gaze.
"That is a blessing song everyone would sing during birthdays in Master's hometown." Chu Xingchen coughed lightly, stretched out his palms to clap the rhythm, and then started singing softly:
"Happy birthday to you~"
Listening to this simple tune, Li Yingling was the first to open her mouth to respond to Master and sang:
"Happy birthday to you~"
Her voice was crisp and the tune was distinct. Obviously, the matter of being a genius was somewhat universal.
Li Yingling sang very pleasantly as well.
Chen Baiqing and Cui Hao also kept up with the rhythm, clapping their hands and singing along.
This song was very short, ending after just a few repeated phrases.
Chu Xingchen clapped his hands with satisfaction.
Just as Lin Luoyu intended to express thanks, a slightly unfamiliar female voice came from the direction of the sect gate.
"Happy birthday to you? These lyrics are quite fresh."
Chu Xingchen's expression changed drastically as he looked toward the main entrance.
Standing there at this moment was a woman wearing a pale blue long dress with a slightly cold expression.
Her peach blossom eyes swept over everyone in a circle, and finally, her gaze looked toward Chu Xingchen, then she nodded with satisfaction.
"Looks quite nice... pleasing to the eye."
