Chapter 158 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 7
Lin Yao'er's eyes reddened from the scolding, and she felt extremely wronged. "I didn't mean to. I just happened to overhear you talking about me, so..."
"Senior brother, do you dislike me very much?"
“My master doesn’t like me, and neither do you. I know my talent isn’t as good as yours. My master only accepted me as a disciple because of the sect leader’s influence. But what did I do wrong?”
Hearing her words, Xiao He's expression grew even colder. "Are you blaming your master for mistreating you, or blaming me for mistreating you?"
“Although you are only a nominal disciple, I have not deducted a single bit of the resources you are entitled to. Disciples of our Falling Snow Peak have always had more resources than disciples of other peaks. You have already received far more resources than you should have been given based on your qualifications. Do you still feel wronged?”
"If you feel that being an outer disciple is more suitable for you, you are free to leave Falling Snow Peak."
With Lin Yao'er's talent, she was originally not qualified to become a disciple of her master.
She received such a rare opportunity, and instead of being grateful, she has many complaints and doesn't know how to cherish it.
Lin Yao'er's face turned pale, and she said angrily, "You want to send me away? What right do you have to send me away? I am a disciple personally accepted by my master. You have no right to do so."
Perhaps because he was too disappointed in Lin Yao'er, Xiao He was no longer so angry.
He straightened his sleeves and said in a calm tone, "I have."
“When Master is not here, I handle all the affairs of Luoxue Peak, and you are the one that Master personally instructed me to handle.”
Xiao He certainly had that power.
However, even though he said that, he didn't really intend to kick Lin Yao'er out unless she went too far.
Just as she said, she was, after all, a disciple personally accepted by her master. Even if she was only a nominal disciple, he would be more tolerant of her and would only punish her at most.
If it really comes to the point where he needs to be expelled, he will definitely have to inform his master and let his master make the decision.
Lin Yao'er looked at his confident expression and seemed frightened. "You...you've gone too far! When Master comes back, I will definitely make him give me a good judgment."
After she finished speaking, her eyes reddened as she tried to run away, clearly afraid and unwilling to confront Xiao He head-on.
"and many more!"
Xiao He stopped her, frowning as he asked, "Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you trying to do here?"
Lin Yao'er's eyes were still red and filled with tears. She had looked aggrieved, but when she heard him ask that question, she suddenly became a little uneasy.
"I...I've come to find you."
Xiao He had a bad feeling. "What do you want with me?"
Lin Yao'er lowered her head and said softly, "I saw that Master was not here and I didn't know when he would come back, so I wanted to help take care of his residence. But there was a barrier around his residence that I couldn't enter, so I could only help water the big tree outside. Who knew... who knew that the tree would suddenly die."
Xiao He looked incredulous. "You mean that tree is dead?"
Although the tree was always bare and covered in ice crystals, making it look like a giant fake tree, it was actually a genuine spirit tree!
How could Lin Yao'er really kill him by pouring water on him?
With a dark expression, he asked, "What kind of water did you give it?"
Lin Yao'er's voice became even softer, "I saw that it was completely frozen into ice crystals, so I added a Fiery Pill to the water to try and warm it up. I didn't know it would die..."
Xiao He took a deep breath and couldn't help but scold, "It wasn't killed by your watering, it was killed by your stupidity!"
That tree naturally thrives in cold weather, and it grows exceptionally well on the snow-covered peak where snow falls year-round and spiritual energy abounds.
If this continues, it is estimated that in another two or three hundred years, the tree will develop sentience.
Master likes that tree very much. If it develops sentience, it will most likely become Master's disciple.
It originally had the opportunity to pursue that sliver of immortal destiny, but unfortunately it lacked the luck and was killed by that fool Lin Yao'er.
This Lin Yao'er not only lacks talent in cultivation, but she also seems to be not very bright. She can't stand being alone and spends all day thinking about this and that instead of cultivating diligently.
She probably doesn't know how difficult it is for someone with her talent, who can only become an outer disciple, to cultivate.
Xiao He sternly warned, "From now on, you are not allowed to approach Master's residence!"
After giving the warning, he added, "You will go to the outer sect for training for six months, and your treatment will be the same as that of an outer sect disciple."
Seeing that Lin Yao'er wanted to say something, Xiao He didn't give her a chance to speak and said directly, "If you don't want to, then get out of Luoxue Peak!"
Lin Yao'er immediately shut her mouth with tears welling up in her eyes. She pursed her lips, looking like a pitiful little girl who had been bullied but was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.
Unfortunately, Xiao He remained unmoved, feeling that the punishment was not severe enough.
Although outer disciples lack resources and are usually busy with sect affairs, Lin Yao'er is, after all, a disciple of Immortal Venerable Yunze. Anyone with a brain wouldn't bully her, making her much happier than a true outer disciple.
The story is different now.
Originally, after bringing Lin Yao'er back to Luoxue Peak, Zong Yunze wouldn't have spent so much time helping Chu Yunqing nurture her soul in the forbidden area, nor would he have directly taken her remnant soul away from the sect.
He should have stayed at Snowfall Peak, but he was moved by Lin Yao'er's naivety and foolishness. Even though her talent was average, he took her in as his direct disciple and showed her all kinds of favoritism.
Influenced by his attitude, Xiao He and Wen Li also showed tolerance and affection to their junior sister Lin Yao'er. Even Qi Yu, the sect leader, treated her like his own disciple because of Zong Yunze, and was very generous to her.
If she accidentally waters a tree and kills it, she won't be scolded; instead, she'll receive comfort from everyone, who are worried that she'll feel too guilty.
If someone is willing to pamper a naive and innocent girl, it's because she's simple, cute, and lovable. If no one is willing to pamper her, it's because she's a brainless idiot and annoying.
In Xiao He's eyes now, Lin Yao'er is a fool who needs to be taught to use her brain.

While Lin Yao'er was being punished and sent to the outer sect for training, Zong Yunze was taking Yun Qing to buy meat buns in the mortal world.
Standing on Zong Yunze's shoulder, Yun Qing looked at the steaming, plump, white meat buns in the steamer, secretly swallowing her saliva while frowning disapprovingly:
“Senior brother, the food in the mortal world lacks spiritual energy and contains too many impurities. It is of no benefit to us cultivators. Eating it will only require us to spend time and effort to purify the impurities in our bodies. You should not be greedy for this appetite.”
For the vast majority of cultivators, mortal food is something they avoid if possible. Even when they are not practicing fasting, they take fasting pills or various foods containing spiritual energy.
Chu Yunqing and Zong Yunze were also among the vast majority.
"Master, here's your steamed bun."
When the vendor selling steamed buns handed over the buns wrapped in oil paper, he secretly glanced at the petite Yun Qing, clearly quite curious. However, he only glanced at her once before quickly looking away, afraid of offending the immortal.
Zong Yunze paid the money, holding the steamed bun in his hand, still exuding an otherworldly aura. He said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Experiencing the mortal world is beneficial to improving one's state of mind."
Yun Qing's eyes lit up, then she put on her chubby face and said solemnly, "Senior brother is right. State of mind is very important. We should eat more... and experience more of the mortal world!"
Zong Yunze nodded with a cool expression, opened the oil paper package, and under her expectant gaze, broke off a small piece of meat bun with filling for her. Then, without changing his expression, he asked, "Does Junior Sister think sesame seed cakes need to be savored?"
Yun Qing held the bun in both hands, took a bite, puffed out her cheeks with satisfaction, and nodded repeatedly with a cool expression, "The sesame seed cake should also be savored properly."
After saying that, he added with an upright expression, "Since we are experiencing the mortal world, we should naturally taste all the flavors of life."
System: ...It's unbearable to look at.
