Chapter 30: Daddy-type Boyfriend Cang Qianxue

Going out with Cang Qianxue, Su Jiu had only one feeling.

【Why is it that they can all be so wealthy, while I’m the only one who is poor, unable to even pull out ten spirit stones from my pocket!】

Su Jiu felt wronged; she was unhappy.

After leaving Qianyuan Sect that day, she had been worried about how she would get away.

It was impossible for Cang Qianxue to take her with his sword.

Su Jiu didn’t have a flying magical tool in her hand. It wasn’t that Shen Wangchen was stingy, but because they were sword cultivators, who typically flew with their swords when going out. No one bought a flying magical tool like the magic cultivators did.

Su Jiu actually wanted to borrow a flying magical tool from Mu Yunqing, but unfortunately, when she opened the door that day, she saw Qi Chaoyue, and there was no time to escape, let alone stay.

Fortunately, when they reached the mountain gate, Cang Qianxue summoned his flying magical tool—

A movable luxurious palace.

Inside, there were paper-made furniture and maidservants.

Su Jiu could only express her envy in two words.

So envious.

Cang Qianxue sat by the window, playing chess by himself. Hearing Su Jiu’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Little Su Jiu, come here.”

He waved his hand.

Su Jiu quickly turned to him, looking obedient as she put down the book in her hand.

“What’s the matter, Uncle Master?”

Cang Qianxue shook his head: “It’s nothing. I saw you seemed tired from reading, so I called you to take a break.”

He looked at Su Jiu and smiled, “Would you like to come over and play a game of chess with me?”

Su Jiu widened her eyes.

“I don’t know how to…”

【I’ll cheat at chess!】

Cang Qianxue smiled gently: “It’s fine, Uncle Master will teach you.”

Since he said so, Su Jiu had no choice but to put down her book and walk over. Before picking up the chess pieces, she made sure to reiterate, “Uncle Master, I really don’t know how to play chess.”

Cang Qianxue laughed: “No problem, just treat it as playing for fun.”

Since he said that, Su Jiu didn’t hold back.

She glanced at the chessboard, bit her lip, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth: “Uncle Master, can I go first?”

Cang Qianxue raised an eyebrow and lightly lifted his hand.

Su Jiu had learned a bit about chess, so she wasn’t as useless as she claimed. At first, the two were evenly matched, but as the game progressed, Su Jiu found herself frowning and taking longer to think about her next move.

Cang Qianxue didn’t urge her, leisurely sipping tea from his cup, his gaze drifting out the window.

The house flew above the clouds, surrounded by a sea of white mist. In the distance, mountain peaks could be seen hidden among the clouds, the sun slowly setting, and a round moon gradually rising. The moonlight poured in like a thin veil, falling on the girl’s shoulders.

Cang Qianxue withdrew his gaze. Su Jiu was still propping her chin, contemplating her next move, her small face scrunched up like a bun, her teeth unconsciously biting her lower lip, looking conflicted.

Today, she still wore simple and unadorned clothing, dressed in plain blue, resembling a pure lotus. There were no hairpins in her hair, only a loose hairband that held her hair back, with some strands falling to one side of her cheek, accentuating her small and porcelain-white face.

“Here!”

Cang Qianxue was quietly watching her while holding his cup when he noticed the girl seemed to have an epiphany. Her brows suddenly relaxed, revealing a smile as she quickly placed her chess piece on the board and cautiously raised her head to look at Cang Qianxue.

Cang Qianxue, holding the tea cup, smiled and shook his head.

Su Jiu immediately pressed her hand down, saying, “No, no–” She stared at the chessboard for a while, her expression distressed as she looked up and called, “Uncle Master~”

Cang Qianxue was quite pleased with her calling him Uncle Master.

If it weren’t for playing chess with her today, Cang Qianxue wouldn’t have seen her acting so spoiled and mischievous.

He smiled, turning his head away grandly, pretending he hadn’t seen Su Jiu’s move.

Su Jiu couldn’t help but laugh, quickly picking up the piece and changing its position.

Cang Qianxue turned his head back and smiled lightly.

“You’re clever.”

There was a hint of gentle indulgence in his voice.

After playing chess with Cang Qianxue for an entire night, Su Jiu’s original awe for him diminished a bit.

Compared to her own master, Cang Qianxue was incredibly easy-going.

【This kind of stable, gentle, and spoiling “daddy-type” boyfriend, who wouldn’t be smitten?】

Su Jiu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: 【Sure enough, men who excel in every way have one flaw—they don’t belong to me.】

Cang Qianxue, hearing her thoughts, raised his tea cup to cover the smile at the corner of his lips, seemingly casually asking, “Little Su Jiu, would you like to come to Uncle Master’s Wuwang Mountain? Unlike your master, who wouldn’t even be willing to give you a flying magical tool, if you come to Wuwang Mountain, Uncle Master would definitely give you all the magical tools there.”

With such a little thing around, it wouldn’t be so boring for him.

“Eh???” Su Jiu was a bit stunned.

【Wait, what’s going on? Uncle Cang, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to abduct a minor? Right, right?】

Cang Qianxue’s mouth twitched, just about to explain himself, when he saw Su Jiu’s expression completely change, smiling subtly as she said, “Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle Master. It’s just that I really like Wudao Mountain; you shouldn’t joke with me about that.”

She was already far away from this bunch of protagonists; how could she rush over?

Cang Qianxue had only said it casually, and seeing her respond like that, he decided not to say anything more.

The two discussed the pill formula.

“The sect leader of Lingmiao Sect, Miao Miao, is an old friend of mine. She might have some clues,” Cang Qianxue said, glancing out the window; the entrance to Lingmiao Sect was not far away.

“I’ll take you to the Half-Moon Secret Realm first…”

Su Jiu quickly replied, “No need, Uncle Master. You can go to Lingmiao Sect first; I can go to the secret realm by myself.”

Seeing that Cang Qianxue seemed to disagree, Su Jiu explained, “The Half-Moon Secret Realm is less than a hundred miles outside of San Shui Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Lingmiao Sect. The secret realm opens at midnight on the fifteenth of each month, and today happens to be the fifteenth. I can just go to San Shui Town. I also have a few friends there, and we can go together when the secret realm opens.”

Cang Qianxue frowned but had to agree with Su Jiu’s reasoning.

Only cultivators at the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage could enter the Half-Moon Secret Realm. If someone with a higher cultivation forcefully entered, the secret realm would dissipate.

“In that case,” Cang Qianxue thought for a moment and handed Su Jiu a storage bag.

Su Jiu was a bit surprised and reached her consciousness inside, only to be startled.

“Uncle Master, this is too…”

Inside was a dazzling array of magical tools and treasures, making Su Jiu’s eyes hurt.

Cang Qianxue raised his hand to interrupt her, his tone carrying an unrefusable authority: “Just consider it a meeting gift from your Uncle Master.”

With both hands holding the storage bag, Su Jiu could only think one thing.

【Uncle Cang, do you need a daughter? One who can inherit millions in assets.】

Cang Qianxue: “…”

This little disciple was interesting, but she sometimes said the most nonsensical things.

He cleared his throat and said, “Alright, you should go rest for a while. I’ll call you when we arrive.”

Otherwise, being stared at by her with those sparkling eyes, even someone as calm as Cang Qianxue would feel an indescribable sensation.
