Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

Chapter 284 Is it really a gift?

After the ancestor witch Di Jiang and Yi learned the news about Huang Zhongli from Qingxuan, they rushed to the west of Kunlun without saying a word, and did not even say hello to Chang'e, making Chang'e think that the two were missing and ran to Qingxuan to inquire.

Qingxuan didn't want to tell Chang'e directly. What if Yi wanted to create a surprise?

Of course, Qingxuan thought that the possibility was very small. Whether it was Dijiang or Yi, they had never thought of saying hello to her, so the probability of this happening was even higher.

Long Ji, who was in seclusion to supervise the innate gourd vine, was not here for the past two days. Gu Hou was also not here, and the place suddenly became a lot quieter.

Long Ji was invited to attend the Taoist Conference again. Xuan Du went to Qingqiu personally to invite her, so it was difficult to refuse.

Qingxuan could see some of Xuandu's little thoughts, which were nothing more than to establish a good relationship with his lineage.

Taiqing did not tell Xuandu about the Conferred God event, and he could not figure out his teacher's thoughts.

But Xuan Du was just lazy, not a fool, and he vaguely sensed something strange about the general situation of heaven and earth.

In addition, his teacher directly kicked him out of the dojo and asked him to get closer to his fellow junior brothers and sisters. He could still understand the most direct intention.

There was no way around it. His teacher was a man of few words and had a bad habit of only saying half of what he said. Xuandu had long been accustomed to it and was also accustomed to trying to guess the hidden meaning behind his words.

Of course, he was not willing to spend energy to figure it out unless it was necessary, as this was not in line with his principle of tranquility and inaction.

Xuan Du had no choice but to call Guang Chengzi and Duo Bao to come, so that there would be no estrangement between the two teacher brothers.

Among them, what gave Xuandu a headache was that there were too many fellow disciples from Jiejiao, and there were always new faces appearing, making it difficult to get friendly.

At the same time, by now, there are many third-generation disciples in Jiejiao, such as Yu Yuan, a disciple of Jiejiao's direct disciple Jin Ling Shengmu, who has a great reputation as the One-Qi Immortal.

The Chan sect is actually quite behind in this regard, after all, it does not easily recruit disciples.

The reason why Xuandu came to Qingqiu was that, in his opinion, although there were few disciples in the Qingqiu lineage, each of them was undoubtedly powerful.

Needless to say, Senior Sister Long Ji, even her own teacher has said that in today's prehistoric world, no one can do anything to her unless a saint takes action personally.

Be it his own foundation, cultivation, or his magical powers, techniques, and magic weapons, there are no shortcomings in any aspect.

As for the other disciples, each of them should not be underestimated. Even the seemingly weakest Jin Peng, Xuan Du thought that without the help of the power of the innate treasure, he would most likely not be his opponent.

The offensive power of his innate yin and yang energy is unmatched; in terms of offensive power alone, it is even better than his brother Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light.

No matter what happened, it is definitely not a bad thing to make friends with the Qingqiu clan, Xuandu thought.

After all, the Qingqiu lineage has never had any conflicts or contradictions with any other religions, and there is a certain sense of detachment hidden in it.

Long Ji leaned against the head of Gu Hou somewhat absentmindedly. She now wanted to practice harder and taste the taste of the Taoist fruit produced by the gourd vine. She had no interest in Taoist conferences and the like.

"Big sister, Daozu summoned all the saints to go to Zixiao Palace. Big sister, do you know what happened?"

Xuan Du hesitated for a long time, but still asked in a voice transmission.

Long Ji blinked her golden eyes, turned to look at Xuan Du, and asked in confusion: "Didn't Master Uncle tell you?"

When Xuan Du heard this, he was delighted. As expected, the senior sister knew something.

"No." Xuan Du replied.

"Oh." Long Ji nodded and said seriously, "Then you can ask Uncle Taiqing."

"......"

Wasn't I kicked out of the dojo before I even had the chance to ask for details?

Xuan Du smiled bitterly: "Senior Sister should also know the teacher's temper..."

Long Ji shook her head, still looking very serious: "What kind of personality does Master Uncle have?"

Xuan was a little embarrassed. Should he openly say that his teacher was a taciturn person who only spoke half of the sentence?

Not to mention that it is wrong to say bad things about teachers behind their backs, even though they are all true.

If he said this, his teacher would probably think he was too idle, after all, he had time to gossip.

After pondering for a while, Xuan Du said, "I am stupid. I don't understand the true meaning of what the teacher said. I hope the senior sister can give me some advice."

As he spoke, Xuan Du calmly took out a few fairy apricots.

He only had a few of these things. After all, the fairy apricots were not in the possession of his teacher, but belonged to his second uncle, who gave them to him.

Seeing Long Ji's eyes light up slightly, he thought that Senior Brother Jin Peng was indeed an honest man. Compared to the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill or something like that, Senior Sister prefers real spiritual fruits.

"Big Sister, I am fortunate to have received a few immortal apricots from my Second Uncle. I heard that Big Sister likes this. How about asking Big Sister to taste them?"

Long Ji held her chin with one hand, stared at Xian Xing, and then looked at Xuan Du.

"Junior brother, don't you like it?"

"Uh..." Xuan Du coughed lightly, "Junior brother cultivates tranquility and does not like to indulge in food and drink. Although this item is a rare immortal treasure, it is of little use to you."

After all, he was a quasi-saint. If he ate too many elixirs and the like, even if he had top-level innate spiritual roots, the effect would be minimal.

"Is that so? Are you really sending me this?"

"Of course, I hope you will accept it." Xuan Du said sincerely.

"Oh." Long Ji nodded, stretched out her hand to grab the fairy apricot and looked at it, and then said, "My master said that giving it for free is called sending, and giving it for a price is called trading. Junior brother, are you really giving it to me?"

Xuan Du was stunned. He suddenly realized that the so-called social etiquette was useless to this pure-minded senior sister.

The question is, can I say no to sending it now?

"Of course, please don't despise me, Senior Sister."

Long Ji thought about it, said thank you, and put it away.

I might as well take one back for Master Qinglian to try. The former Master Qinglian had eaten it, but the current Master Qinglian has never eaten it.

I hope Master Qinglian will stop asking her why she doesn’t transcend the tribulation.

Master Qinglian used to be only curious about why Master Qingxuan didn’t survive the tribulation, and by the way, he was also curious about why she didn’t survive the thunder tribulation.

Every time she saw Master Qinglian being struck by lightning while undergoing tribulation, she felt a little scared and wanted to escape back to the cave, but she was reluctant to leave.

Long Ji was thinking about her master, and Xuan Du didn't know how to ask any more questions for a moment, feeling quite helpless.

No one else noticed this, but Kong Xuan and Jin Peng who came with them did notice it.

This time, Tianhu used the affairs of the Heavenly Palace as an excuse to come, and only they, the brothers, and the eldest sister Long Ji came.

After their visit to the Western Church, the aura of the two brothers had changed a little, their Taoism had reached a higher level, and they had benefited a lot.

At this moment, Jin Peng watched Xuan Du bribing his senior sister out of the corner of his eye, and was extremely happy, but he did not dare to laugh out loud, causing Kong Xuan to glare at him fiercely.

"Brother, did you see that? Junior Brother Xuandu wanted to use spiritual fruit to win over Senior Sister."

Kong Xuan frowned: "Don't you do this often? What's the problem?"

Jin Peng was full of contempt for his elder brother's doubts. It was obvious that he had never been filial to his elder sister.

"It's normal to give gifts when asking someone to do something. Junior Brother Xuandu, I think you want to ask Senior Sister for a favor." Kong Xuan continued.

Jin Peng nodded, but still said cautiously: "It is common sense, but it is useless for Senior Sister."

"What do you mean?" Kong Xuan was puzzled. He saw that the senior sister seemed to have accepted Junior Brother Xuandu's things. Didn't this mean she agreed? How could it be useless?

As if he saw what his elder brother was thinking, Jin Peng smiled.

"Do you think that accepting the things means that the senior sister agreed?"

Otherwise? This is the way of the world. If you accept a gift, you have to help.

"No, no, in the eyes of the eldest sister, giving gifts and asking her for help are two completely unrelated things. The tacit understanding of human relations and worldly wisdom does not work with her. I guess the eldest sister must have asked Junior Brother Xuandu whether he really gave it to her."

Jin Peng is quite experienced in this area. He has given gifts to the eldest senior sister and she was very happy.

But when the senior sister beat him, she still showed no mercy.

"Senior Sister, you have accepted the gift from your junior brother, shouldn't you be gentler?" Jin Peng, who was knocked to the ground after being beaten, asked angrily.

But the eldest sister was very confused: "Why?"

Why? You ask me why. As the saying goes, the hand that takes from others is short, and the mouth that eats from others is soft!

Later he gradually understood that in the eyes of the senior sister, if you say you are giving something as a gift, she will take it seriously, and in her understanding, giving something does not need to be returned.

Why do you think others would give it away for free? She doesn't care about that.

Jin Peng accused her of being unreasonable, and said that since she had received the things, she should help. This made the eldest senior sister unhappy. She said that the master had never taught such a thing, and she felt that she was slandered. She then beat him up with a clear conscience and accused him of being full of twisted ideas.

Jin Peng has understood since then that you have to make things clear with the Senior Sister. She won't play by the rules at all. It's useless for her. She will be happy if you give her spiritual fruit, but if you think she should do things for you after giving you something, she will be very unhappy and will beat you up.

You can't play tricks with the senior sister. It's all about favors. A gift is a gift, a transaction is a transaction. You have to be clear about it. If you want something in return, in her opinion, it's a transaction, not a gift.

After that, whenever he gave spiritual fruits to his senior sister, he would directly state his purpose.

There were a few times when the senior sister collected the spiritual fruits, agreed, and indeed helped out.

The rest refused and even found reasons to beat him up.

Talking to the senior sister about the ways of the world and the established rules is either useless or you'll get beaten up for nothing. It simply doesn't make sense.

Jin Peng didn't know whether his senior sister really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, and it was most likely the former.

Thinking back to the beginning, he also thought that this seemingly innocent senior sister was easy to fool, but later he discovered that the one who was the most difficult to fool was the senior sister. She was stubborn and only believed in her own principles. She didn't follow any other people's rules at all and could not be restrained.

The key is that her fists are strong enough, which makes her much more dangerous than facing the reasonable Second Brother.

Jin Peng was still wondering whether the senior sister would beat Xuan Du up, but he was disappointed.

Junior brother Xuandu is too cowardly. The gift was given away in vain, Jin Peng muttered in his heart. If it were him, he would not be able to tolerate this and would not follow the rules.

But he saw a pair of golden eyes looking over and frowning.

Jin Peng's heart shuddered. The senior sister's intuition was still so sharp.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Jin Peng said with a smile.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that my junior brother wanted to be beaten." Long Ji clenched her fists and said.

She didn't know why, but for no apparent reason, she suddenly felt that Junior Brother Jin Peng deserved to be beaten.

Jin Peng's smile was stiff: "Big sister, I am wrong!"

It was neat and clean. Jin Peng directly and sincerely admitted his mistake. Do you want to make excuses?

It's useless. Rather than trying to justify your crimes, the right choice is to make the senior sister think that you don't deserve a beating.

Senior Brother Tianhu is the most reasonable, and Senior Sister is the most...Jin Peng quickly stopped the rude thoughts in his mind, Senior Sister is also the most reasonable.

Long Ji stared at Jin Peng, then looked away, took out a fairy apricot and started to eat it, her pair of golden eyes curved into crescents.

"Junior brother gave me spiritual fruit, so I will treat him to some spiritual fruit as well."

Long Ji also took out a lot of spiritual fruits produced in her own spiritual medicine garden and gave them back to Xuan Du. It was a very reasonable way to exchange fruits for each other.

Xuan Du sighed. It must be said that this spiritual fruit does taste better than the elixir refined by the teacher. How about suggesting that the teacher improve it?

"By the way, Junior Brother, do you really want to know about Zixiao Palace?"

Xuan Du was stunned. He didn't mention it himself, but the senior sister mentioned it herself. Was she planning to tell him? He was confused.

However, he didn't know that in Long Ji's opinion, this matter had nothing to do with Xuan Du sending the fairy apricots, it was just a normal inquiry from Junior Brother Xuan Du.

"Please tell me, Senior Sister."

"It's not a big deal. Master said that we shouldn't let too many people know about it. Why don't you go back and ask Uncle Master?" Long Ji said seriously.

"..."

I thought you were going to tell me, Senior Sister.
