Chapter 47: Ancient Dao Was Deeply Triggered

“Good brother?”
“Hua Youxiang, Erhua?”

Chen Yi recognized the voice as one of the two “bandits” from last night.

He turned around and saw, at the end of the group, Hua Youxiang hopping and waving excitedly at him, her face full of enthusiasm.

Next to her, the shy one looking at him was Hua Yourong, and then there was Hua Xianzi?

Observing the three sisters, Chen Yi nodded silently.

Though still quite young, their graceful figures, every frown and smile, truly befitted the name “Flower Fairy.”

With that thought, Chen Yi waved back at them, acknowledging their greeting.

Unexpectedly—

“I wasn’t wrong, our sisters really are with them,” Hua Yourong quickly pleaded with the disciple distributing tokens nearby, her face distressed. “Could we please have the last few tokens?”

“Well...”

The two disciples from the Taixu Dao Sect exchanged glances, then looked at Ning Xue and the others before handing over three tokens to them.

After all, these people came together, and at the latest, they could participate in the sect’s assessment tomorrow.

The order didn’t matter much.

Even the people around the three sisters had no objections, some even relieved they hadn’t offended them earlier.

Who knew these three little girls would know such influential families?

At the same time, this scene stunned Chen Yi.

He had only exchanged a simple greeting—how had he become their protector?

Chen Yi looked at that remarkable character—no, at Hua Youxiang.

He thought inwardly that she truly deserved her notorious nickname at such a young age...

“Brother Yi, do you know them?” Lin Xueru tugged at his sleeve and asked.

“Sort of.”

Seeing the curiosity on everyone’s faces, Chen Yi reluctantly admitted it.

Before he could recount the amusing events from last night, the three sisters approached.

The slightly taller eldest sister, Hua Xianzi, bowed deeply to him with an apologetic look.

“Benefactor, thank you for rescuing us last night. And just now... on behalf of my second sister, I apologize to you.”

“Good brother, great kindness needs no thanks. Erhua, well... ouch.”

Hua Youxiang had just clasped her fists when she was smacked on the head, obediently muttering with a reluctant expression, “Thank you, benefactor.”

As for Hua Yourong, she wanted to speak but dared not lift her head under the strange gazes around her.

She could only huddle between her sisters like an ostrich, muttering to herself not to reveal anything.

“No need to thank me, it was just a small favor,” Chen Yi said with a smile, waving his hand.

Indeed, having these three sisters together was like heaven opening its eyes.

The eldest, Hua Xianzi, clearly the leader, acted with reason and propriety, leaving no faults to pick.

Moreover, the second sister, Erhua, was lively and bold, speaking with a rough, roguish charm learned from somewhere, and quite frank.

The youngest, Hua Yourong, though shy and timid, carried a delicate temperament that was not easy to dislike.

Thus, after exchanging a few words, not only Chen Yi but also Lin Xueru and the others didn’t mind them tagging along.

The story of last night’s ordeal wasn’t narrated by Chen Yi but by Hua Xianzi, who spoke gratefully.

She solemnly promised that her two younger sisters had their reasons and would never repeat their mistakes.

From this, Chen Yi could see her character—soft yet resolute.

Before long, the two disciples from Taixu Dao Sect, along with the seemingly high-ranking senior sister Ning Xue, led a hundred children up the mountain.

Those accompanying them, including the Black Armored Guards who had come with Chen Yi’s group, stayed at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the assessment results before leaving.

They chatted and laughed as they ascended, with the three sisters leaning close to each other.

“Big sister, I was right, wasn’t I? Good brother is really a very good person,” Hua Youxiang said proudly.

“Shut your mouth.”

Hua Xianzi glanced toward where Chen Yi and the others stood and whispered, “We have already received his kindness and now owe him a favor. We must repay him when the time comes, understand?”

“Don’t worry, big sister. Erhua promises to repay him, definitely will.” Erhua patted her small chest with a chuckle.

“And no more calling yourself Erhua!”

“Okay, okay, no more...”

Hua Yourong, seeing fewer people around, whispered a few words, roughly complaining that her second sister was reckless and nearly scared her to death.

...

Halfway up the mountain, Chen Yi saw Gu Tiangang drifting over, his face stern, embodying an otherworldly, immortal aura.

“Senior Uncle Gu,” Ning Xue asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you say we would meet on the mountain?”

“I have some matters to attend to elsewhere. Ning, you lead them up the mountain.”

Gu Tiangang didn’t leave immediately but beckoned to Chen Yi and the others.

“Here are a few Qi-nourishing pills, a gift for you.”

His voice was firm and confident, as if redeeming past grievances.

Then he casually flicked out more than ten porcelain bottles.

Not too many, not too few—seven people, three bottles each.

“Thank you, Master Gu.”

“May you cultivate well.”

With that, Gu Tiangang lifted his head and gracefully turned away.

Thinking to himself, after this, the little ones should understand his generosity and largesse.

At that moment, Hua Youxiang blinked at Chen Yi and the others.

“Big sister, are Qi-nourishing pills expensive?”

“I don’t think so, maybe a few gold coins. I remember the pharmacy in the capital sells them,” Hua Xianzi replied after some thought.

But as soon as she spoke, she realized her mistake, though it was too late.

Hua Youxiang pursed her lips and muttered, “I thought they’d be something precious. I didn’t expect such cheap pills, and only three bottles for good brother...”

If their travel funds hadn’t been stolen, they could have bought dozens.

Chen Yi and the others: “...”

Ning Xue: “...”

Gu Tiangang’s footsteps faltered, almost grinding his teeth.

He didn’t even look back, stomping his foot before soaring forward with dignity.

He felt bitter.

He had struggled to get over ten bottles from Old Sun Zamao, only to be called “stingy” by a little girl?

Such is the fate of an old cultivator...

“Old Sun Zamao, just you wait!”

After a moment of silence, Hua Xianzi quietly said:

“Erhua, next time before you speak, please consult me first.”

“Huh? Sister, you called me Erhua?”

“Ouch, don’t hit, don’t hit...”

“Good brother, emergency help from the martial world!”

Putting aside the sisters’ affectionate bickering, Chen Yi looked at the interface, secretly delighted.
