"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's got to be Third Senior Sister, round and full, tough and erect!" Chu Yi squatted in the bushes, used his hand to shoo away several flies buzzing by his ears, and focused intently on the sketching pencil in his hand, as a plump and handsome woman suddenly appeared on paper.
Chu Yi stood up, stretched lazily, and saw rolling green hills in the distance, lush and dripping with vitality, enveloped by mountains on all sides was a clear, bottom-visible pool. In the pool, several fair and buxom women frolicked and splashed around, a sight that was truly refreshing to the soul.
This place was none other than Qingcang Mountain, a Daoist holy land.
Chu Yi suavely grabbed at his short hair and prepared to sit down and draw another picture.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Your drawing skills have improved lately, haven't been secretly practicing now, have you?"
Chu Yi, nonchalant, answered airily, "It's all right, I guess. Ranked number one on Qingcang Mountain."
Just as Chu Yi lowered his head to continue his drawing, a pair of familiar martial arts sneakers entered his field of vision, and he realized something was amiss.
"Master... Master... when did you get here?"
Chu Yi hurriedly put his paper and pencil aside, quickly stood up, and performed a formal bow to his master.
Lin Qingying was unfazed, holding a fluffy cotton candy in her hand, licking it nonchalantly, as she tilted her fair little face upwards, "Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?"
"Dare not... dare not."
A breeze blew by, and Lin Qingying's white gauzy shawl fluttered slightly in the wind, a faint blush spread across her cheeks, revealing her well-defined figure.
Chu Yi kept his head half-lowered, but his eyes were scanning the surroundings for a good escape route. However, his master's horsetail whisk...
As long as that horsetail whisk was still in his master's hand, he dared not make any rash moves.
That horsetail whisk was not for play when it landed on one's body; the last time a senior sister went against the master's orders, she got whipped by it and even with years of martial arts training, she had to rest in bed for days to recover.
"If you want to watch, then go down there and watch openly! What's there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Qingying said suddenly.
Hearing his master say that, Chu Yi's cheeks turned beet red and hot, "Master, what are you talking about? I wouldn't want to be too forward in front of the senior sisters."
Seeing Chu Yi acting coy like a timid wife, Lin Qingying couldn't help but snicker, "You're blushing now, don't want to take the initiative? Then should I?"
Chu Yi knew his master's temper well. She was definitely not joking with him, and clearly, master was displeased.
With a thud, Chu Yi knelt to the ground.
"Master, your disciple dares not act rashly. Please forgive me!"
No sooner had Chu Yi finished speaking than Lin Qingying, with cotton candy in one hand, stretched out her delicate jade hand towards Chu Yi's chest.
Don't underestimate Lin Qingying's seemingly light palm; in an instant, Chu Yi's feet lifted off the ground, and he was sent flying off the high cliff. Thankfully, Chu Yi's kung fu was solid enough. Had it been an ordinary person leaping from such a height, they would not have just lost their life, their bones would have shattered to pieces.
There was a loud splash...
A huge water spray burst open in the center of the pool.
Chu Yi bobbed to the surface, washed his face, and immediately, the senior sisters around him screamed, their faces drained of color. Chu Yi had gotten an eyeful of their skin as white as jade, and he couldn't help but feel thrilled.
Indeed, the master still cared about him the most, to bestow him with such a great benefit, tsk tsk tsk... Chu Yi was in high spirits.
"You little brat, here you go again. Didn't get enough of the senior sister's fists last time, did you?"
"Exactly! Be careful, or we'll tell the master and then you'll really be in for it," the senior sisters chided Chu Yi from the bank, their figures shapely and revealed which the soaked gauze clung to tightly, standing by the water's edge like a flock of swallows.
"Still looking? Asking for a beating!"
The older martial sisters picked up small stones from the shore and tossed them into the water, while Chu Yi quickly covered his head, "Enough, enough, older sisters, stop hitting me, it was Master, Master slapped me into the water!"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, the older sisters immediately stopped.
"How could it be Master? Don't think you can fool us!"
Just then, a light cough came through, and the air instantly stiffened—it really was the Master!
"Paying respects to Master..."
The older sisters hurriedly bowed in salutation, and Chu Yi also slipped out of the water, standing soaking wet in front of Lin Qingying.
"Had your fun?"
Chu Yi muttered, "I dare not, Master, your disciple knows his mistake."
"This is the last time, take a good look at your sisters; you won't have the chance again." With that, Lin Qingying flicked her finger, and the stick of the cotton candy embedded itself straight into a rock.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Chu Yi scratched his head; the words sounded strange.
"It's time for you to leave the mountain, I've let you practice martial arts for so long, you can't always eat for free up here, with the amount you eat, soon I won't be able to afford you."
Chu Yi, frightened, quickly responded, "Master, your disciple will eat less from now on, eating less from now on won't do?"
The older sisters laughed quietly to themselves as they listened to him say this.
"What a dunce! Here, take this." Lin Qingying threw him a small purple bundle.
Chu Yi didn't know what to make of it, and slowly opened the small bundle thrown by Master. Inside was a large mobile phone, a bus ticket, and a small red bundle. Unwrapping the red cloth layer by layer, he found a piece of flawless pale-green jade pendant inside.
"Tonight's bus ticket, you're being sent on a mission to the Han Corporation, I don't need to say more, do I?"
Only then did Chu Yi slowly come to his senses, realizing Master's intention.
"Just this Jade Pendant?"
"This was left for you by your mother before she passed away; I've been keeping it safe. Now I'm giving it to you. After you leave the mountain, wear it so if you encounter people from the mountain, they will recognize you."
The older sisters said nothing, glancing at Chu Yi out of the corners of their eyes as he stood there dripping wet, with each of his muscles clearly defined.
"What, haven't had enough to look at? Or do you want to accompany him down the mountain?" Lin Qingying said to them.
The older sisters lowered their heads.
Chu Yi seemed somewhat reluctant to leave. Master brought him some new clean clothes, and he hid behind a large rock on the mountain, slowly changing out of his wet ones.
"What, still not changed? If you don't hurry up, I'll send your sisters over to have a look at you."
Only then did Chu Yi come out reluctantly, "Master, I grew up here since I was young, shedding blood and sweat for the mountain. Master and the older sisters have been kind to me, and Chu Yi has no way to repay that."
Having said that, Chu Yi cleanly cut off a lock of his hair and placed it on the rock in front of him, "Take care, Master, your disciple takes his leave."
As Chu Yi walked down the mountain and his figure grew more distant, the older sisters' eyes filled with reluctance.
"Master? Does little brother really have to go?"
Lin Qingying did not speak. After a moment, she shook her horsetail whisk and turned away, "Everyone has their destiny; escape is not an option."
