Volume 1 Juvenile Journey Chapter 49 The Problem of Age

Smelling the aroma of meat in the casserole, Li Xuanji's saliva flowed out like a broken embankment, and he had to wipe it with his sleeve.

Looking at his embarrassment, Ling Cangyue smiled happily: "Come over and eat, you've been asleep for two days." This is a porridge of eight freshnesses specially prepared for you. The doctor said you can wake up today, so you did it early this morning, and the temperature is now. Now is the right time to eat. โ€

"Made especially for me?" Li Xuanji looked at her in surprise.

"Of course, do you think anyone can eat my craft? Ling Cangyue carefully took the casserole down, and put a bowl of fragrant eight fresh porridge in a small bowl and brought it to his hand.

Li Xuanji took the small bowl, sniffed it gently, and said with a big appetite: "It is worthy of eight fresh porridge! In addition to the high-quality spiritual rice and honey, there are eight kinds of precious great tonic things added to it, and one of them must be a hundred-year-old 'Tianxiang koi'! Tianxiang koi is said to be a spirit fish that can bring the dead back to life, this is an ingredient that the emperor rarely eats, your general's mansion is really luxurious!"

"You say our General's Mansion is extravagant?" Ling Cangyue suddenly said angrily: "This Tianxiang koi fish was obtained by my father who went to the imperial dining room of the palace to get it. We are reluctant to eat, so we use it to replenish your body, and you even say that we are extravagant? If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Sister, I won't serve you!"

As she spoke, she was about to snatch the bowl from Li Xuanji's hand.

"Don't don't, Miss Ling, I said it was wrong, you can spare me. I'm dying of hunger, and I'm going to faint if I don't eat. Li Xuanji hurriedly begged for mercy, took the small bowl in his arms and turned around, and quickly lowered his head and sucked.

Ling Cangyue smiled again when she saw him like this.

"Wellโ€”โ€”, it tastes so good. Li Xuanji quickly drank the whole bowl of eight fresh porridge, smacked his lips, and commented: "The glutinous rice cooked, the sweetness of the honey and the eight kinds of great tonic things are properly coordinated, and the medicinal power and fragrance in the koi are thoroughly excavated, and the taste is really not to say." As soon as I arrived in my stomach, I felt warm all over my body, and my whole body had strength. Unexpectedly, Miss Ling is not only a cultivation genius, but also a master of cooking. It's really impressive. โ€

"Hmph, you only know now? You can eat the eight fresh porridge I made myself, but it is your creation. Hearing his praise, Ling Cangyue said proudly, and helped him serve a bowl of eight fresh porridge. "But I can also conclude that you are definitely a complete foodie, and your cooking skills must not be bad. โ€

Li Xuanji smiled wryly, did not answer, and quietly tasted the precious eight fresh porridge while looking up at the layout of the room. I was stunned at this look, why is it so familiar?

"This ...... Here it is...... Your boudoir?"

โ€œ...... Well, so what?"

"I've been sleeping in your boudoir for the past two days?"

โ€œ...... Of course!"

"I'm a man!" Li Xuanji's eyes widened.

"What do you want!" Ling Cangyue stared at Li Xuanji with fiery eyes, "Do you think my sister will take advantage of you? Look at how old you are? Ding Ding hasn't grown up, what can I take advantage of you, sister?" At such a young age, why are your thoughts so dirty!"

"......" Li Xuanji was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he shouted in his heart that he was wronged. What's wrong with me? What am I thinking about? It's all you think about it!

"Okay, you can eat all this pot of eight fresh porridge for me. Come to me after eating, my dad and mother must be eager to see you now. โ€

After Ling Cangyue finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the attic, leaving Li Xuanji speechless.

After cleaning a whole pot of eight fresh porridge into his stomach, he patted his full stomach comfortably, feeling full of strength. It's like coming back to life.

Out of the attic, went straight to the guest hall of the General's Mansion, Ling Zhanye and Ling Cangyue were talking inside, Mrs. Ling was also listening quietly, and when they saw Li Xuanji coming, the husband and wife had a smile on their faces.

"You've woken up, have you ever eaten? Yue'er doesn't know how to take care of people, if something doesn't work, don't mind. Ling Zhanye said.

"Daddyโ€”โ€”, did you say that about your daughter?" Ling Cangyue said angrily.

Li Xuanji didn't know whether to shake his head or nod, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Ling, Mrs. Ling, I have already eaten the rice, it is the eight fresh porridge made by Miss Ling." Miss Ling's craftsmanship is really good, and there is nothing to say. โ€

"Oh, Yue'er cooks it herself, it's a rare thing. I thought Uncle Nian was helping to do it. Anyway, I haven't eaten her food in a few years, and you're in for a treat. Ling Zhanye said, his eyes glanced at Ling Cangyue a few times, but the latter ignored him.

"You kid, what else is your name Mrs. Ling? You have called my husband uncle, so call me Aunt Yun in the future." Mrs. Ling stepped forward and grabbed Li Xuanji's shoulder and looked at it carefully, "It's really worrying that you won't feel sorry for yourself like this." For Yue'er to faint from exhaustion, one slept for two days. It really made our Ling family worry and guilty. โ€

"Cloud ...... Aunt Yun, I'm really fine. Li Xuanji did not avoid Mrs. Ling's hands, it is a very happy thing to be considerate by a mother.

He turned his head, looked around, and asked with some confusion, "Uncle Ling, why didn't you see Jin Ning walking with me? Where did that crazy girl go?

Ling Zhanye waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood her. She didn't go shopping, she left early. โ€

"Why?"

"About ten days ago, she suddenly said that she had something urgent to do, let us tell you, don't wait for her. She has another letter for us to pass on to you. โ€

Ling Zhanye took out an envelope from his body and handed it to him.

Li Xuanji took the envelope, opened it and took out the stationery inside, on which only a few words were simply written:

Uncle Junior, there is something wrong with my bloodline, and I need to return to the family as soon as possible. You don't have to wait for me, you can go back to the master alone, and I will go back as soon as possible after I finish handling things. Please tell my master.

He knew in his heart that there was a problem with his bloodline, probably because of the distress in the ancient tomb of Wolong Mountain.

"Speaking of Miss Jin, Xuanji's nephew, should you explain something to us now? You have deceived all of us!" Li Xuanji was still pondering but was interrupted by Ling Zhanye's voice, and turned his head to see Ling Zhanye looking at himself carefully with a serious face, eager to see through his clothes. Even Madam Ling's gaze was strange to her.

โ€œ...... I don't know what Uncle Ling wants me to explain, what am I lying to you? I don't really understand. Li Xuanji was furious when he was looked at, and asked tentatively.

"Explain what? Explain your age, of course!"

"Huh?" Li Xuanji looked at Ling Zhanye in surprise. Ling Cangyue on the side also looked at her father in confusion.

"Before Miss Jin left, I asked her curiously, why are you so attained in spiritual arts at such a young age, but Miss Jin said that she was the same age as you, and you have been practicing for ten years!

"Ten years at the same age?" Ling Cangyue looked at Li Xuanji in front of her in shock, she had been with Li Xuanji these days, and she had never heard the news at all.

Li Xuanji was embarrassed to bear the eyes of everyone, and scolded Jin Ning for being a stupid girl in his heart. After organizing the language for a while, he said: "Jin Ning is right, I am indeed seventeen years old, the same age as her. But I'm not lying to you. People never asked me, and I really don't blame it!"

"So you admit it?" Ling Zhanye's voice was much colder.

Li Xuanji had no choice but to nod, ready to meet the next thunderous rage.

"Hahahaha...... The imaginary thunder rage was not there, but a string of laughing voices were heard, "Madam, bet I won, I have to drink today's wine to the fullest!"

Mrs. Ling glared at Ling Zhanye helplessly, and also glared at Li Xuanji by the way. But there was no sternness in this eye, but it was very loving.

"I'll just say, how can he have such profound spiritual attainments and a serious personality at such a young age. Sure enough, there is a hidden secret. Madam, you still have to think that he is young and old, and now he will lose!"

"......" Li Xuanji looked at Ling Zhanye and his wife speechlessly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This husband and wife actually made a bet on this kind of thing, which is really scary and unbearable.

Li Xuanji wiped the cold sweat on his head, but he felt a fiery gaze next to him, and when he turned his head, he saw Ling Cangyue's eyes with a blazing furious gaze, staring at him deadly, eager to burn himself to ashes. The cold sweat that had just been wiped off his forehead broke out again.

"Are you really seventeen years old?" Ling Cangyue asked word by word.

Li Xuanji nodded helplessly with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Then you still do that to me in Huaqing Pool!" Ling Cangyue was furious, and she was about to make a move.

Li Xuanji was so frightened that he took a few steps back. The angry woman in the mortal realm can't be provoked!

"Yue'er, stop!" Ling Zhanye and his wife hurriedly grabbed the angry Ling Cangyue, "Xuanji is your great benefactor and a distinguished guest of our Ling Mansion, how can you do it?"

"Daddyโ€”โ€”, but he ......" Ling Cangyue's movements were stopped, and tears faintly appeared in her aggrieved eyes.

"Okay, okay, Yue'er listens to her father's words and can't do it. Xuanji is a distinguished guest invited by your father, and regardless of his previous suspicions, he took out ten rare elixirs for you, and finally spent eighteen days to rebuild the spiritual veins for you, and also enabled your cultivation to reach a higher level. Mystery is a gift to you! It's not something that can be repaid with anything or a promise. Mrs. Ling comforted her daughter.

"We know you've been wronged, but there's no mystery to blame for this. It is true that we never asked him how old he really was, but we judged him by his own appearance, and guessed that he was only twelve years old. Besides, it is true that there is a process to go through to rebuild the spiritual vein, which cannot be avoided. Are you willing to rebuild the spiritual vein for you, or are you willing to go to the Lingyin Gate and let those old spiritual masters spend years rebuilding the spiritual vein for you?"

Mrs. Ling's words calmed down the angry and aggrieved Ling Cangyue.

"Moreover, we also know that Xuanji has no way to do anything indecent to you. We learned a big secret from Miss Kim!"

"What secret?" Ling Cangyue asked subconsciously with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Ling glanced at Li Xuanji, who was begging for mercy with a bitter face, with a smile on her face, before she said:

"His practice is Tongzigong!"
