Chapter 287 A Good Student and A Troublemaking “Grandmaster”

Lin Luoran is anxious.

Everyone at the Lin’s knows the new owner of the flower shop opposite the Temple of the Marquis of Wu is a monster vine now. The two teenagers are obsessed with mysterious stories in which a Peony Fairy turns into a beautiful girl and keeps a young man’s company while he reads at night. The story is so attractive. Lin Luodong doesn’t care about how dangerous she may be. He just hopes that Miss Yang is a girl like the Peony Fairy. Huang Weijian is more rational. He learned that monsters are not kind creatures since he was a child. Although he won’t kill monsters once he sees one, he knows he should be careful because monsters make the bald pen shake.

Li Xi’er murmurs something while staring at her peony that just survived a disease. She thinks what Lin Luoran said before was far-sighted. No one believed there were Peony Fairies in this world then. Well, a monster vine shows up now. Li Xi’er regards the female monster who calls herself Yang Lisha a nice person. If Lin Luoran didn’t stop her, she would have gone to know more about her.

Mr. Lin also thought there was nothing special about the flower shop. Yuan Ye is the only one who stood on Lin Luoran’s side and disagrees with everyone else.

Yuan Ye is anxious too. Neither the teacher nor the student knows what to say in front of all the naive people at Lin’s.

The monster vine shows up with perfect timing. In the past, the crazy Taoist guarded Rong City. Although it is not true, everyone thought he was Lin Luoran’s teacher. It gives her more courage when she does everything. This ignorant monster came right after the crazy Taoist left.

Nobody believes she came here by accident. At this critical moment, Yuan Ye outsmarts everyone at the Lin’s.

“Grandmaster，I think the monster vine is more powerful than she looks.”

Lin Luoran nods, “How do you think of it?”

Yuan Ye recalls everything he remembers about last night, “There were no magic circles. We climbed over the wall and got into the backyard easily. If great grandmaster hadn’t broken off that branch, we could have left without triggering the vines. Miss Yang must be a super powerful monster. She is not afraid of other cultivators breaking into her home, so she doesn’t even bother to build a defense system. Besides, she treasures that Acacia tree. If we harmed that tree last night, it wouldn’t be just the vines. We may be seriously injured.”

Yuan Ye pauses, and Lin Luoran asks him to continue.

“What I think strange is that the Acacia tree seems to be over a thousand years old. Its Reiki is abundant, but it’s dying. If the monster vine really treasures the tree, she should bring it to somewhere with green mountains, clear water and abundant Reiki instead of letting it be contaminated by turbid air in the city. Unless, there is something here that is worth risking the Acacia tree’s life, like you……grandmaster.”

After saying these, Yuan Ye takes a look at the backyard. Flowers are in full blossom, fruit trees are luxuriantly green, vegetables all taste good, crude drugs in the bamboo grove, as well as the entire Lin’s villa which is full of peaceful Reiki. They need to thank Lin Luoran for all of these. She turns ordinary vegetables into magical ones. Is this the secret ability of Lin’s? It is because of this secret ability that they can make elixir and plant magic circles for cultivation. Yuan Ye is very proud of the strength of the Lin’s, but it can also make others jealous.

For her own sake, she has thought of it for a long time.

Reiki will attract others’ attention sooner or later, and now a monster comes to the door.

“Grandmaster, I have a request.”

Yuan Ye has a silver tongue. The last time he spoke seriously like this was the day when he got admitted as a student of Lin’s. Lin Luoran stares at him in amazement while he leans down and bows, “I plead with grandmaster to accept Zeng Tian into our school.”

I plead with grandmaster to accept Zeng Tian into our school!

Yuan Ye keeps bowing and refuses to stand up. He repeats his words three times.

Lin Luoran is slightly moved. She didn’t put much effort into teaching him. Did she join into Lin’s faster than she thought?

Is it because the Lin’s and Zeng Tian have known each other for a long time that Yuan Ye asks her to admit Zeng Tian into the school? He is not begging for Zeng Tian. Rather, he wants Zeng Tian to be on the same boat with him. Yuan Ye is smarter than Lin Luoran thought. He has probably realized that the crazy Taoist is not her grandmaster. Therefore, Yuan Ye calls the crazy Taoist “master” when he meets him now and then. It is also why he calls Mr. Lin “great grandmaster”.

“Yuan Ye, I think of a spell of sword. Would you like to learn?”

Yuan Ye looks up and raises his eyebrows in surprise, which makes his face looks less innocent and more angular.

“I will do what you ask me to!”

……

“Miss Yang, the night breeze is cold. Make sure the quilt covers your whole body when you sleep.” Lin Luoran’s words can be interpreted in many ways. Li Xi’er wants to see the monster vine, but Lin Luoran sends her away to pay some cash for the flowers.

Yang Lisha closes her eyes to sense the surroundings of Lin’s villa. She feels satisfied, “Well, the nasty Taoist Jiang Shang didn’t teach you how to respect senior cultivators?”

The nasty Taoist Jiang Shang? The name is strange to Lin Luoran. She doesn’t quite understand her words. Yang Lisha takes out the leaf of the Acacia tree and puts it on the table. It dries up a little. Lin Luoran suddenly realizes what Yang Lisha was saying. Jiang Shang is the crazy Taoist’s name? This monster vine intercepts her paper crane!

Lin Luoran rolls her eyes and says, “You and grandmaster know each other?” Lin Luoran feels sorry for the crazy Taoist, but she has to mention his name to bluff.

Instead of answering, Yang Lisha asks, “Do you want to go into the interstellar transmission circle?”

Lin Luoran has nothing to hide so she nods. It is not that Lin Luoran wants to catch some Reiki-devouring worms. Reiki on earth becomes less and less every day. It’s almost impossible to reach the level of Gathering Vitality with such little Reiki. She has a sacred pearl in her body and doesn’t need to worry about it, but how about others at the Lin’s? Now that she chose to be their cultivation teacher, Lin Luoran’s sense of responsibility doesn’t allow her to abandon anyone at Lin’s, even if it’s Yuan Ye who just got Lin Luoran’s approval seconds ago. So, it’s really necessary to find the interstellar transmission circle and leaves room for retreat.

Who knows if the sacred pearl will lose its power? It doesn’t hurt to have a Plan B.

Yang Lisha stares at Lin Luoran’s face, “I can tell you where it is, even taking you there…but I have two conditions.”

“What conditions?” Lin Luoran finds Li Xi’er peeking at them through the window again, together with Lin Luoran’s first student whom she is satisfied with, but she doesn’t bother to send her away. Instead, she creates a Mini World.

Yang Lisha shakes the teacup on the table while Lin Luoran suddenly realizes that this monster vine has a pair of delicate hands. No one will believe this pair of hands deal with soil and plants every day. As a woman herself, Lin Luoran is astonished.

What she saw may not be Yang Lisha’s true appearance. Thinking of it while looking at Yang Lisha’s innocent face, Lin Luoran is filled with dread. There are good people and bad people. Humanized plants are not necessarily good. She must be extra cautious.

Yang Lisha picks up a honeysuckle in the tea. The flower stands up at her fingertips. Green vines grow out of nothing and creep in the living room. Honeysuckle flowers bloom on the vines and fill the living room with a sweet fragrance. Lin Luoran thought Yang Lisha was about to attack her while the vines and flowers suddenly disappear. At Yang Lisha’s fingertip, it’s still the dried flower that has been used to make tea.

Lin Luoran is obsessed with what she saw and wonders whether it’s real or her illusion. Yang Lisha smiles gently with her sweet dimples on the cheek.

“First, you need to replant my precious Acacia tree from my backyard to yours.”

“No way!” Lin Luoran refuses without a second thought. The interstellar transmission circle is not important enough to let Lin Luoran risk being attacked from both inside and outside. If she allowed Yang Lisha to replant her tree in her yard, the monster vine would be able to enter Lin’s villa whenever she wants. Lin Luoran would have no secrets to her.

“Then, I’m done talking to you.” Yang Lisha puts down her teacup and seems to be ready to leave.

“Well……” Lin Luoran says, elongating the word, ”It’s not the only way to save your Acacia tree. I can help you slow down its dying process. Can I use this to exchange the interstellar transmission circle? If you think it’s still not enough, I don’t have to go there anyway. Besides, I am not a cultivator without a teacher. I dare not ask grandmaster about where the transmission circle is because my personal abilities are not high enough. That’s all.”

Yang Lisha doubles up with laughter, “That sounds quite arrogant, but you got one thing wrong. That nasty Taoist Jiang Shang doesn’t know where the interstellar transmission circle is either. He has been stuck at the level of Bearing Essence for all these years. He would try to break the circle at all cost even if the hope is slim and he needs to risk his life.”

Yang Lisha’s words shatter Lin Luoran’s last hope. It seems that the interstellar transmission circle is not something everyone can get access to. Maybe it is true that the cultivator of Gathering Vitality was sent away by it. If she had the crazy Taoist’s personal abilities and hadn’t had any breakthrough in years, she would definitely go and have a try once she knows where the transmission circle is. Although she could die when trying, it’s better than wasting her whole life on an abandoned planet of cultivation.

“I can only accept what I just suggested. If you are willing to compromise as well, we can negotiate your second condition.”

Yang Lisha thinks about it for a while and doesn’t insist, “Second, I want the Soul Wood. Don’t deny it. Jiang Shang stole Reiki materials from me. He must use it to fertilize the Soul Wood.

Being pushed too far, Yang Lisha reveals her true intention.

Lin Luoran stares at her as if she saw a ghost. The mad Taoist stole other people’s Reiki materials! No wonder he hid the Soul Wood and Baojia with Yin-Yang-Mote Circle. No wonder he acted weirdly and said someone was trying to drag Baojia out of the Soul Wood and stuff himself in.

The old Taoist’s unpredictable behavior drives Lin Luoran crazy. The crazy Taoist ran away. That’s why this monster vine comes to find her?!

At this moment, she really wants to slap herself. She just flaunted that the crazy Taoist is her grandmaster. Now, how can she disassociate herself form him?

This female monster seems to be good-tempered. Will she be enraged?

God is fair to everyone. Lin Luoran just got a good student then her “grandmaster” turns out to be a troublemaker. She has to swallow all her grievances.
