PART 07

The immortal mountain is so vast, could he possibly have something even better? He must not recommend himself at all costs

The esteemed official is going to seize the junior disciple

He desperately pursued, whoosh whoosh whoosh, the officers only saw a flash of white light, and when they turned back, only the cold wind remained whooshing.

Bi Lingling looked at him with a sympathetic gaze

A soft and warm body pressed against his back, Tian Guan was taken aback for a moment. Realizing the situation, he felt a bit embarrassed. He glanced around at the laughing constables and immediately cleared his throat awkwardly, pretending to be calm as he gestured with his fingers to summon the small sword.

After the previous commotion, someone finally couldn't contain their curiosity and peeked out the window. From time to time, people were seen whispering behind the window doors, which made the entire town appear somewhat agitated. Before long, the responding constable arrived, cupped his hands in salute towards the heavenly official, and said: "My Lord, I was delayed on the way due to scattering lime powder!"

The small sword spun around and slowly began to rise. Suddenly, from the direction of Tianshan, another small sword rushed towards it, on which stood the eighth master uncle Lin Lang, dressed in purple robes and wearing a jade crown. Like the wind and lightning, he moved with incredible speed, the howling wind causing his robes to flutter continuously. From a distance, he indeed appeared somewhat ethereal, as if he were a celestial being.

"Master, I do not like you!" she emphasized, interrupting him.

"Did the Eighth Junior Brother hurry down the mountain at the master's instruction?" Tian Guan, seeing that everyone was in a daze, decided to speak up first

Bi Lingling nodded sincerely, adding fuel to the fire: "Master, in the time I've been here, this is the first time I've seen someone wield a sword better than you!"

He walked with unparalleled grace, and as he turned the corner, the hem of his robe swayed with the wind, truly ethereal. Everyone was quite puzzled by his reaction, staring in astonishment as he took a break first.

This time, competing with himself for Bi Lingling, he was already astonished, and upon hearing that he had voluntarily requested to descend the mountain, his surprise could not help but show on his face

Tian Guan felt quite troubled under the ambiguous gazes of everyone. He tugged at Bi Lingling's sleeve, pulling her over, and explained: "The fourth generation disciple of our sect, my humble closed-door disciple... fork!"

Bi Lingling was left speechless by his question

The Heavenly Official chuckled proudly and said, "I have recommended my master to you. Just because my master is not approachable does not mean that the ancestral master is not approachable!"

Master, I have made my decision!" Just as he stood firm, he heard the provocative voice of Bi Lingling, "I am going to choose the person you dislike the most and make sure to be with him day and night! I dislike you, Master!"

Lin Lang gently closed the cup lid, his lowered eyelashes fluttering slightly, and he replied earnestly, "In response to Senior Brother, it was Lin Lang who requested Master to come down the mountain."

Suddenly, Bi Lingling shamefully recalled the hoarse cries of Master Qinglian from before. Instantly, she felt a jolt, evaded his waist, and from behind, extended her arms, passing through his armpits to embrace him tightly.

Tian Guan flicked his sleeve and looked at her warily, rebutting with an expression akin to flowers inserted into cow dung: "Pah, pah, pah, do not harbor delusions about the master; the person the master introduced is someone else entirely"

The force was so great that even the outline was no longer visible, leaving only a green parabola. At this moment, he didn't even have time to think; with a cry, he chased after it, running so fast that tears streamed down his face, just in time to catch it with his mouth

The young gentleman is a long-term sufferer of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In short, he has an overwhelming desire to surpass anything that flies in front of him. Naturally, when he cannot surpass it, he usually takes it down with ease.

Bi Lingling, being a modern person, felt quite displeased upon seeing everyone's ambiguous expressions. She straightforwardly stood up for her beliefs, saying: "You all shouldn't look at Master with such lewd gazes. Master prefers Master Qinglian! The one he shares a deep bond with and has a romantic connection with is Master Uncle Ba!"

Bi Lingling heard the words "extremely hungry" and couldn't help but feel curious: "What kind of ferocious beast is this?"

Isn't it true that Junior Brother Lin came down the mountain to assist us in slaying demons and eliminating evil? Should I make such an assumption? Although it seems somewhat ungracious to do so, the corners of the Heavenly Official's mouth twitched repeatedly

After a long silence, Tian Guan suddenly revealed a brilliant smile towards Bi Lingling and said, "Would it be alright if Master helps you choose another one?"

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly and gestured for the maid to lead him away

The eyes of everyone revealed a sense of astonishment. After glancing over the first two individuals, one suddenly caught sight of Bi Lingling's pot lid hairstyle, which caused a jolt in their body. The stark contrast between her bewildered expression and this pot lid-like hairstyle compared to the first two was simply too great, leaving one utterly shocked.

All the constables are familiar with the Celestial Officer. Seeing that this time he is accompanied by a female disciple, they cast a rather ambiguous glance at him and smile, saying: "This female hero may not know, but those who love to eat people are not necessarily ferocious beasts. It is said that this one even has a human form!"

"Little Fork, do not inform the master that he only came down to showcase his ridiculous swordsmanship?" He finally showed some thinly veiled anger

Only Bi Lingling's hairstyle appears rather desolate; it is thinned and layered in a modern style, resembling a thousand layers of snow resting on pine branches, extremely textured. However, once the wind blows, her ponytail becomes even more disheveled, spreading out and instantly transforming into an indistinct large pot lid.

Therefore, the birds and beasts of Tianshan fly at low altitudes within 70 yards, and when they encounter Senior Brother Tianguan riding his sword, they generally stay close to the cliff walls to give way

Ah... After the incident where the young master of the Heavenly Officials seized the Yaksha, he let out the second most furious howl from the depths of his heart

The chief constable fell silent, and after a long while, summarized: "You are all mistaken; the Lord of Heaven has embraced both the male and female, and they have returned together!"

Ah, I remember now! After a long period of dullness, Bi Lingling finally recalled the reason behind this statement

Even Lin Lang, who is usually impeccably dressed, has his hair in disarray. He simply removes his jade crown, allowing his long, glossy black hair, which reaches his waist, to fall freely. Each time he bows his head to gently blow on his tea, the purple sleeves of his robe and his cascading hair slightly shift. Despite his unkempt appearance, his demeanor remains entirely unaffected, exuding an elegance even greater than before, with his eyes turning, exuding a subtle yet captivating charm.

Seeing that Bi Lingling did not respond, he raised his chin a few more degrees and coldly asked, "Waste material, you should open your eyes and see, on Tianshan Mountain, it is not only the senior brother who can ride a sword and carry people!"

With a swift motion, he brushed past the Heavenly Official and, with a hook of his arm, pulled Bi Lingling over.

Thus, everyone suppressed their even stronger curiosity and awkwardly returned to the discussion of the case

Everyone let out a sound of surprise, and they all revealed their teeth in a sly smile

Because he saw his beloved disciple, Little Fork, let out a cold laugh, weighed the jade pendant tied at his waist, and suddenly exerted force to throw it vigorously outside the yamen.

Lin Lang, this junior disciple, has not been in the sect for long, yet he is renowned for his exceptional talent. He usually observes others with a nonchalant demeanor, tilting his head at a forty-five-degree angle and looking at them through his nostrils. It is rare for him to actively seek anything; most of the time, he remains an utterly indifferent bystander.

On that day, the mountains were high and the roads steep. Her backside suffered due to Lin Lang's poor swordsmanship, and in a fit of anger, she exclaimed: "Lin Lang, you are truly the most disappointing man to women in the world. On the Tianshan Mountains, is it true that apart from the heavenly officials, all are highway killers?"

"Sword of the Emperor!" Of course, the Heavenly Official would not miss any opportunity to showcase himself. As Bi Lingling just reacted, he had already grabbed her by the back of her collar and flung her behind him. "Little Fork, hold tightly to your master's waist!"

Bi Lingling sighed and turned her face to look at the Heavenly Official: "But, Master, he is the good match you chose for your disciple!"

Are adults using horses or ... ...

On that day, Lin Lang shot her a fierce glare, and from that moment on, he remained silent. Even until they reached their residence, he kept rubbing his teeth while she tugged at his sleeve. She initially thought he felt guilty at that time, but it now appears that this proud Eighth Master Uncle was merely nursing his wounded pride, hiding away to secretly practice his swordsmanship.

Bi Lingling raised an eyebrow and cast a sidelong glance at the heavenly official

Hmph! He let out a haughty snort from his nostrils, waved his hand, and coldly asked the county magistrate, "Is there any accommodation arranged?"

Lin Lang completely ignored him, bypassed the Heavenly Official, and coldly glanced at Bi Lingling. Suddenly, with a snort, he stood up, walked arrogantly to her side, raised his chin, and asked with a half-smile, "Waste, am I still not the disappointing man?"

Tian Guan furrowed his brows, looking at everyone's boots which were all dusted with lime powder, and asked in surprise: "Is the scattering of lime powder meant to ward off evil spirits?"

The senior brother Tian Guan has always been accustomed to being casual. Noticing that everyone had an unusual expression, he guessed it was because his hair was messy. He casually gathered it again, carelessly tossing it, and the strands that were not secured by him fell loosely, cascading down his neck to his shoulders. He turned his head and smiled, his dimples shallow, his dark eyes glimmering, unexpectedly adding a hint of languor that was usually absent.

The group of constables shook their heads in unison, and the chief constable, holding his head, explained: "It's not that simple. The creatures seem to avoid areas where lime powder has been scattered; they always steer clear of it. However, there are some that, driven by extreme hunger, will still venture into places where lime powder is present."

"It is wrong, the Lord of Heaven has gone to seize the disciple!"

Before his words had finished, his smile had completely frozen.

Pfft... everyone fell silent.

It is no wonder, hehe, that we have not descended the mountain for quite some time; both social etiquette and skills have become somewhat rusty. It would be best if Junior Brother is willing to lend a hand!" Tian Guan took a small sip of Bi Luo Chun tea, finding an excuse for Lin Lang.

The Heavenly Official was feeling unjustly frustrated

Ah? Bi Lingling was curious and whispered to him quietly: "Master, which one is it?"

Senior brother, I am bringing the small fork! He did not wait for the heavenly official to respond and directly urged the small sword, flying ahead.

From the bottom of his heart, he vowed never to recommend any suitors for his disciple again! Because when his disciple undergoes a transformation, their thinking often reaches inhuman extremes

Bi Lingling glared at the heavenly official with frustration, silently mourning for her large fork in her heart

Lin Lang, whose figure was on the sword, was frowning and looking around, his handsome face displaying a sense of indifference. Upon seeing the Heavenly Official and Bi Lingling, his eyes miraculously brightened.

The ambiguous color is even more pronounced than before

By the time everyone returned to the yamen, Tian Guan, Lin Lang, and Bi Lingling were already savoring the Bi Luo Chun tea of the county magistrate's wife. The three of them had their hair standing upright, their disheveled hair resembling that of a hedgehog.

Little Fork, I hate him! The Heavenly Official speaks candidly.

Hmm? The Heavenly Official was quite surprised

"Your Excellency, the county magistrate means to discuss matters in detail at the yamen!" The chief constable's fingers were twitching incessantly, and they appeared unnaturally pale. He secretly tugged at his fingers, noticing Bi Lingling beside him staring with wide, curious eyes, and quickly withdrew his hand into his sleeve

Are you still thinking about supporting his waist

This time, Lin Lang's speed was extremely fast, and the Tian Guan's obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up once again in a magnificent manner

The numerous constables were also perplexed by her extravagant adjectives, and they developed significant doubts regarding the sexual orientation of Master Tian Guan

Ha... ...? The Master of the Heavenly Officials has finally turned to stone in a magnificent manner
