I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 17: Never Expected My Senior to Be…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Senior Sister Sun, it’s right in front.” Pei Ling was bewildered. He hurriedly grabbed the Life-Extinguishing Blade and hid behind a nearby tree. Then, he heard a person shout anxiously, “We must catch that trash, Pei Hongnian, this time!”

“That’s right! He must apologize to our Senior Sister properly!”

“Isn’t it too easy on him to apologize? I must get him to take out the subsidy from the Pei family and buy that moon dress for Senior Sister!”

A commotion erupted as a group of five to six people appeared in Pei Ling’s line of sight. They were young outer sect disciples who were around twenty years old, surrounding a girl in pink.

The girl had a good figure and was rather pretty. She was delicately dressed, but she seemed haughty.

“Junior Sister Yinglan, it’s you?” Before Pei Ling could decide how to deal with the situation, Pei Hongnian had already crawled up from the ground as he walked up to her with a sad face. “Why did you let that phoenix attack my paper boat? You knew that I bought a talisman artifact for you with all the spirit stones I have saved over the years. This paper boat was because my mother scrimped and saved for an entire year in the clan to hide 50 spirit stones secretly and…”

Before he could finish, Sun Yinglan raised her hand and slapped him.

Pei Ling: “…”

The people who came with Sun Yinglan clapped and cheered, even urging Sun Yinglan to hit him a few more times.

Pei Hongnian was not angry after being slapped in public. Instead, he said sorrowfully, “You always treat me like this, you…”

“You got the chance to go out with Senior Brother Zheng from the inner sect to handle affairs. And on your way back, you even sat on the core disciple, Fairy Li’s Dark Bone Phantom Ship. Why didn’t you bring me along?!” Sun Yinglan interrupted him with an unruly look. “I don’t have a place in your heart at all!”

“It’s not like that…”

Sun Yinglan interrupted him again. “You said that you liked me and that you could do anything for me. But what happened in the end? When you had the chance to get close to the inner sect senior brother, and when you had the opportunity to meet Fairy Li, you only thought of yourself! I only vent my anger on your paper boat even though I’m so mad at you!

“And what about you?

“A mere paper boat worth 50 spirit stones is more important than me in your eyes!

“You ungrateful thing!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She could not help but wave her hand to slap Pei Hongnian again—it was just that before she could hit Pei Hongnian’s face this time, someone grabbed her wrist from the side tightly.

Pei Ling looked at Pei Hongnian speechlessly, then he said to Sun Yinglan, “My senior has bought you talisman artifacts after all these years of saving up, is that not good enough? And you’re not even married into the Pei family. Isn’t your behavior too ugly?”

Although he did not have a close relationship with Pei Hongnian, and this brother of his had even tried to obstruct him on the Dark Bone Phantom Ship, he was still a newcomer and needed Pei Hongnian’s help to find a place to stay. He did not have the time to watch a gold digger playing around.

“You!” Sun Yinglan was also at the fourth stage of Qi Refinement but could not move when she tried to struggle free. Her expression changed slightly as she looked at Pei Hongnian. “Who is he?! Are you going to watch your people bully me like this?!”

“Pei Ling, let go of her now!” Pei Hongnian did not disappoint her and immediately berated, “You must not be rude to Junior Sister Yinglan!”

Then, she said to Sun Yinglan in a fawning manner, “This is my family’s younger cousin. He’s young and insensible. Junior Sister Yinglan, don’t lower yourself to his level!”

What the f*ck, how come I’ve never seen senior lick boots like this in the family?!

Pei Ling released her hand, and Sun Yinglan’s eyes flashed sharply. Her fingers moved as she wanted to slap him too.

However, when Sun Yinglan met Pei Ling’s cold stare, she remembered how this person had spoken and his nonchalant attitude towards her. She felt a little scared and did not dare to touch him. Instead, she flared up at Pei Hongnian. “As the Pei family’s eldest son, you can’t even control a junior from the branch family? You’re doing it on purpose!!”

Pei Ling stood by the side patiently and watched Pei Hongnian humble himself for a long time. In the end, he promised not to cultivate for the next month so he could concentrate on drawing talismans for Sun Yinglan, barely settling the matter… Pei Ling started to understand why he had already caught up to his cousin’s cultivation level. Pei Hongnian had obvious talent and was sent to the Deep Sea Sect by the Pei family long ago. Every year, the family would think of ways to save up resources to support his cultivation, but…

Damn, this idiot is hopeless!

“If you follow this direction out of the forest, you’ll see a path. Walk along that and head up the mountain, and you’ll find the Hall of Residence of this Shady Sophora Peak. You can just choose a place to stay when you get there.” Pei Hongnian coaxed Sun Yinglan and was no longer in the mood to bother about his cousin. He casually told him, “I’m staying in the area south of the peak. There’s a large pagoda tree in the courtyard. If you have anything, look for me again. I’m sending Junior Sister Ying Lan back first.”

Pei Ling, who was already impatiently waiting, turned around and left without needing any more reminders.

After walking for some distance, he could still hear Sun Yinglan intentionally pouting. “I don’t like your cousin. You’re not allowed to help him in the future!”

Pei Hongnian: “Alright, alright… anything for you!”

Pei Ling: “…”

Yep, you’re really hopeless!

After a while, he found the hall. After the male disciple in charge heard the purpose of his arrival, he first sized him up from head to toe. Afterward, he brought him to a large sand table in the inner room and said with a smile, “Junior Brother, now is not the season for new disciples to enter the sect. Although there are residences available, there are not many choices. You look quite talented. And I guess ordinary residences won’t suit you as it would delay Junior Brother’s cultivation due to insufficient spiritual energy?”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Pei Ling would naturally want to stay in a better place, but he did not have a single spirit stone in his pocket right now, so he could only pretend not to understand the other party’s hints. “I’m from a poor family, so I’m fine with a place to stay.”

The male disciple did not give up and asked, “Not a single spirit stone? Some places might seem similar, but you’ll only know the difference after staying here for a long time. I’m not bragging, but the entire Shady Sophora Peak…”

“Why don’t you lend me a spirit stone, Senior Brother?” Pei Ling thought for a moment and said. “I promise that in the future, I will definitely…”

“Then you can stay here. You can use your nameplate to remove the restriction after you go over there.” The male disciple pointed to a spot on the sand table without a word and modified Pei Ling’s nameplate through hand seals. “Alright, that’s it. If there’s nothing else, you may leave!”

Judging from his senior brother’s attitude, Pei Ling was mentally prepared to find himself in a dilapidated house for himself. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the place, although it was quite a distance away from the other housings, the surrounding greenery was lush, a stream was running in front of the door, bees buzzed busily, and butterflies danced elegantly. It was beautiful scenery.

As for the house, it was clean and tidy.

Am I too quick to judge?

Or is the Deep Sea Sect so rich and imposing that this is the standard of their worst residence?

Pei Ling was a little puzzled, but he could not be bothered to think too much about it. He took out the nameplate, unlocked the restriction, and walked in. He saw that the interior was beautifully decorated. From the way things were placed, three people were already living here, and none of them were around.

He walked around for a while and could not wait to take out the sect rulebook..
