I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 87: Five-Year Timeframe Finally Arrives! Must Great!

“Wherever my Senior Brother is, I will be there!” Zi Linglong replied without hesitation.

Jiang Ming quietly sighed in relief and smiled. “Do not worry. I'll keep protecting you.”

Zi Linglong's eyes shone brightly.

“You? Able to protect Linglong? ” Gu Hai smile.

“Why can't I protect him? When she was a child, whenever she met a rat and a snake or mischievously climbed a tree and fell, I was always there to protect her!” Jiang Ming denied.

“This time is different! Who knows what other dangers lie in the future? We have fended off the Bishui Sect, but what if the demon sect comes attacking? Don't forget, there was once a platoon of demon sects hidden right outside of our sect! Obviously they're after us!” Gu Hai replied firmly.

“Quiet, Teacher. Now that the demon sect has been revealed, why did they come here again? Moreover, our sect is now in hot waters. If we leave now, wouldn't people think badly of our character?” comforting Jiang Ming.

“You really are a smart speaker!”

“I am simply stating a fact.”

None of them wanted to back off.

Three days later, a funeral was held. Jiang Ming was also present. The solemn atmosphere that overshadowed the thousands of tombstones made it even deeper. He felt that human life seemed so fragile in a world where power dominated.

‘I have to train harder for my little sister,’ thought Jiang Ming.

After returning to the Chuyang Sect, Jiang Ming went to the veranda on the roof. As he lay on the rattan chair, the chair began to sway gently.

He felt so comfortable, so comfortable that he did not want to move at all. Therefore, he thought that some magician must have bewitched the recliner.

“Senior Brother,” muttered Zi Linglong as he curled up to Jiang Ming. “I am preparing to retreat to cultivate!”

“Try to understand Lunar Dao?” asked Jiang Ming.

“Yes, I want to improve myself even further! I realized that I was still too weak during the last battle. I almost failed to protect you, Senior Brother, ” Zi Linglong replied.

“You little girl. Protecting our home should be my responsibility, yet you bear it, ” Jiang Ming said.

He hesitated whether he should tell her that he was the one that night. In the end, he still held back.

If it caused too much uproar, rumors would spread, which would only mean trouble.

Jiang Ming flipped his palm, revealing two small gray pebbles. He handed it to Zi Linglong as he said, “Use it during your cultivation. They are very helpful.”

“This is the Stone of Enlightenment!?” Zi Linglong was stunned.

“You recognize this?” Jiang Ming was shocked.

“Ya!” Zi Linglong calmed down before continuing. “Don't you remember I was blessed with the Grave of the Extreme Way? I also found a description of this Senior Brother of Lightening Stone. This is a rare world treasure! How do you get it?”

“Do not ask. I'll just say I don't know, ” Jiang Ming said as he gently stroked his hair.

“OK, I won't ask,” Zi Linglong replied like a well-behaved child. “Senior Brother, I think it is better if you use it for yourself.”

“Don't beat around the bush and just take it. This is a type of disposable object. Use at the right time to get the best out of it.”

“OK!”

After a while, Zi Linglong returned to his room.

Looking at the Enlightenment Stone in his palm, he felt puzzled. “Why does Senior Brother have such a thing? Could it be that the person that night was actually Senior Brother? Impossible. My Senior Brother has never left my sight! But.. Hiks!

“Also, why is the Bishui Sect the first to attack our sect? Everything's just fucked up! Doesn't matter! If it's messy, then it's messy! As long as I increase my cultivation base, it will be enough to protect my Senior Brother and defeat everything!

Zi Linglong sat cross-legged on his bed as he took out the Yin spiritual items he had obtained, absorbing the Dao fluctuations within it and speeding up his understanding of cultivation.

Time passes, just like how a river flows.

Jiang Ming once again farmed behind the mountains.

This time, however, all he planted were middle or upper class herbs, not knowing what rewards he would get when he reaped his harvest.

Moreover, he was finally able to arrange the seeds of the Eternal Enlightenment Tea Leaf to be planted in the spiritual fountain located underground. He readjusted the Life and Death Disappointment Formation Disc, making the formation more thoughtful and powerful.

Brother Zhang came once but sat quietly by the side. He is not as carefree as in the past. Before leaving, he said that he would retreat to cultivate as well, trying to ascend to the Purple Palace Realm.

Chang Yiming also came. He sighed a few times before asking for a bottle of wine. He downed the whole jar with a big gulp and exclaimed, “This feels good!”

“Total waste,” said Jiang Ming, astonished.

“Who asked you to brew it?” Chang Yiming sneered before he suddenly became serious. He said, “Momo is not okay. Although we won the battle against the Bishui Sect, too many of our brothers fell. Many went to find fault with him. If not for First Chair Yin Yue feeling nostalgic with the past, she would have been in even greater trouble.”

Jiang Ming was silent for a moment before suggesting, “Take him to your side. Let him stay and take care of you. You can also take care of it.”

He still felt a little regretful about it. Besides, they already know each other.

“Not many people are here at Chuyang Peak. Better he come here. Linglong had a high position here, only one level before the Sect Master. If Momo came here, no one would dare to disturb her. He's alone now. He would be perfect to accompany you. You can be busy farming, and he can be busy in the kitchen, very happy, ” Chang Yiming replied.

Chang Yiming laughed. “Finally, you showed your true color! Such dirty thoughts!”

Jiang Ming was rendered speechless.

Chang Yiming did not stay for long before leaving as well.

After Chang Yiming left, Jiang Ming sat there for some time before raising his head and staring at the floating clouds.

“I have an impure mind?” he asked himself.

Shit, he shook his head. “Where in the world is there a person as pure as I am?”

He stood up and slowly walked back to the back of his house, humming as he left. “I have bright pearls, dusty pearls sealed for centuries. Now with the dust gone and the pearls shining brightly, the pearls will shine on the mountains and rivers, thousands oh thousands of mountains and rivers. One day I'll make sure it shines, sparkles in my field~”

Standing in the courtyard, he looked at Zi Linglong's window.

He felt a wave of Dao fluctuations spread out from his room, leaving a cold sensation similar to moonlight, like fog in winter.

“Did he succeed?” Jiang Ming's eyes twinkled with joy.

He called the Human Path Note.

Name: Zi Linglong

Race: Human

Female sex

Cultivation Base: Golden Core Realm (Ninth Extreme)

Background: Disciple of the Peak Chuyang Sect Jiuyang

Relationship: 97

Innate Talent: Main Daoist Body (High Level Phoenix Descendant)

Status: After he defeated the Holy Princess and the geniuses, his name spread throughout the Eastern Region and Zhong Province. During the attack of the Bishui Sect, he saw a pair of eyes in the darkness, almost similar to his Senior Brother. There are too many powerful enemies. Therefore, he telepathically asked the Sect Master to stop the Primal Spirit experts as he proceeded to kill the Nascent Soul experts. They managed to protect the sect through a night of bloodshed.

Even though he won, his heart trembled. If not for the unknown expert helping out by fending off the four Primal Spirit experts, he did not know if he could protect his Senior Brother. He wondered if he would go crazy if something happened to his Senior Brother. He finally thought he would slaughter the world.

‘Senior Brother actually took out the Stone of Enlightenment!’ He thought it was unimaginable but did not care because it was a gift from his Senior Brother.

After absorbing the Yin spiritual item, plus using one Brightening Stone, he was finally able to summon the Extreme Yin Dao and comprehend the Extreme Yin Sambodha.

Jiang Ming smiled convolutedly after reading Status. Their relationship actually rose 2 points, reaching 97 points. He wondered if their feelings had become stronger as they faced danger.

“If I die, he might slaughter the world? My sister oh my sister!” Jiang Ming smiled happily.

He looked at the main building, and the door was tightly shut. The old man was probably going somewhere doing whatever he wanted.

Jiang Ming returned to his room and activated the formation. He temporarily closed off Chuyang Peak as he also retreated to cultivation.

His heart and mind began to fuse with heaven and earth as he continued to feel the miracle of karma.

As he began to fumble, he could feel that many illusory threads were coming out from him, penetrating into the void and connecting with anything and everything. One of the thickest threads was like a chain in sequence, extending into his Junior Sister's room.

However, most threads are so smooth that they feel like they will break up at any time.

“Karma, karma.. Only human relations, that's all! Being directly connected, relating to each other, or simply existing in a certain space and time can all lead to the birth of karma. There is a saying from the past that is very true: ‘As long as you are correlated, there will be an exchange of material.’

“Also, connecting indirectly always ends up with some very important trials. I killed Mo Lin, then my relationship with the Yinmo Sect. I fought against Tian Ci, hence my relationship with the Tianyuan School.

“There is Good Karma and Bad Karma!”

Jiang Ming was immersed in his feelings about Karma. His understanding of Karma Sambodha began to skyrocket. Every time he hit a dead end, he would only pop one of those Brightening Stones. Even if not many of them were left, he never cared.

Time passed the fastest during cultivation, yet Jiang Ming still spent some of his time each day checking the herbs he had planted. It is unfortunate that the middle and upper classes are growing very slowly. Even after being doused with spirit water, they had just started sprouting.

Splitting firewood, taking water from the river, and cooking—this is all his daily routine. Sometimes, he would mix it up a little and go fishing.

He heard from Chang Yiming that the outside world was tense.

The Qingyun Sect surrounded and began to suppress the disciples of the demon sect, who fought back in madness. The whole situation is getting worse. Even water demons had started to emerge from various regions of the water.

Jiang Ming only listened quietly.

In the blink of an eye, a five-year term of office finally arrived.

‘It's been five years! Time passes so fast! I'm sure this time the system will experience a great explosion!’ Jiang Ming was extremely excited about it.

He had a strange feeling that he might get something that he would never think of right now.
