I Just Want to Hoe the Ground!

Before Ling Ju arrived, all she thought was that this "Great Immortal of the Upper Realm" named Jing Pu was making Ling Jing hoe and dig the ground.

But now, after truly meeting Jing Pu and sensing his world-shaking power, Ling Ju felt she might have been too hasty. Perhaps this matter had nothing to do with the Senior.

Because, as it stood, the Senior didn't seem like someone who acted recklessly or without reason.

How could the Senior not understand Ling Jing's identity and what he should be doing?

Thinking this, Ling Ju pursed her red lips. Perhaps... she had truly wronged the Senior...

Maybe it was her own brother who insisted on hoeing the ground...

But Ling Ju couldn't figure out why her brother would suddenly want to hoe the ground in the first place.

Ling Ju felt a bit of shame and anger, all because of Ling Jing.

After Ling Jing dug down that mountain peak, Ling Ju had intended to find him and ask what was going on. But who knew, the guy suddenly disappeared. Unable to hold back, she came ahead first, only to find her brother had already arrived here long ago.

She didn't even get a chance to properly question him.

However... no matter what, Ling Jing only started liking to hoe the ground after coming here. The Senior must know the reason. She would ask the Senior later what kind of illness Ling Jing had contracted, and then ask the Senior to help persuade him.

After all... Ling Ju knew very well that although Ling Jing feared her, it was only fear. Some things, she could only scare Ling Jing for a while. If Ling Jing was truly determined to hoe the ground, to dig secretly, no one could stop him.

But judging from Ling Jing's attitude towards the Senior before, Ling Jing greatly respected the Senior. The Senior's words should carry weight.

With this thought, Ling Ju felt a slight sense of relief. Thankfully, their relationship hadn't soured just now, and she hadn't said anything excessive to the Senior before.

At this moment, Jing Pu was unaware of what these people were thinking. After a flurry of strokes, a piece of paper was filled with vibrant "Spring Scenery." There was nothing particularly special about the painting itself; the scenery chosen was his own small courtyard.

Of course, it was the ideal small courtyard in Jing Pu's mind, not the piles and piles of graves outside.

Finally, after completing it in one go, Jing Pu put down his brush. He didn't speak to anyone, but instead, with his hands clasped behind his back, he began to admire it himself.

After half a minute of viewing, Jing Pu nodded in satisfaction and then took out his seal to sign it.

Once all this was done, Jing Pu tidied up the things on his table and then looked at Di Chen, who was drooling over the painting, and chuckled:

"Elder Di, are you satisfied?"

At this moment, Di Chen was incredibly excited:

"Satisfied, satisfied!"

Seeing Di Chen satisfied, Jing Pu was also very happy. After all, he had completed this painting with his own hands, and it was so well-liked by another person, Jing Pu naturally felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Immediately, Jing Pu pursed his lips and smiled:

"Then Elder Di, please take it."

Every glance and smile from Jing Pu was seen by Ling Ju. Ling Ju was not a fangirl. As the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pond, she had seen all sorts of stunning and exceptionally talented individuals. However, the Senior before her was truly captivating.

At this moment, Di Chen nodded repeatedly in excitement and stepped forward to pick up the calligraphy and painting with trembling hands. However, the painting was pressed against the table, making it difficult to lift. Coupled with Di Chen's hands shaking uncontrollably as if suffering from withdrawal, he couldn't pick it up at all.

Jing Pu smiled helplessly and shook his head. This Elder Di truly loved ancient paintings. Immediately, Jing Pu chuckled:

"I'll help you, Elder Di."

Saying that, Jing Pu went to help this Elder Di.

Ling Ju, standing by the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Senior's demeanor was truly gentle and elegant, with no pretension at all.

Ling Ju had seen Great Immortals of the Upper Realm before, but none possessed the Senior's serene grace and humble nature.

This kind of peace, detached from worldly desires, was something Ling Ju had never witnessed and was truly intoxicating.

The Senior was not only a Great Immortal of the Upper Realm in terms of cultivation but also someone whose state of mind was beyond reach.

Ling Ju sighed, feeling that even if she did nothing for a day by the Senior's side, her state of mind would greatly improve.

The Senior was truly peerless...

After helping Di Chen put away the painting, Jing Pu suddenly noticed Ling Ju, who had been watching him the entire time.

Was this Holy Maiden of the Jade Pond... also here to request a painting?

It didn't seem like it. When she arrived earlier, the Holy Maiden didn't look very happy...

Immediately, Jing Pu looked at Ling Ju beside him and asked curiously:

"Holy Maiden... do you need something from me?"

Ling Ju, snapping back to attention, quickly bowed slightly:

"Senior, please just call me by my name, Ling Ju."

Jing Pu also felt that calling her "Holy Maiden" was a bit strange. Immediately, Jing Pu grinned and said:

"Alright then, Fairy Maiden Ling Ju, what is it?"

Ling Ju glanced at Ling Jing, who was lowering his head beside her, and then looked at the two elders excitedly holding Jing Pu's paintings. She let out a soft hum.

When Ling Tiannan and Di Chen came back to their senses, they knew what Ling Ju was about to do. They immediately looked at Jing Pu and said:

"Then... then Senior, we'll be going now?"

It seemed like a private matter. Jing Pu nodded:

"Farewell, Elders."

After the two Elders left, Ling Ju glared at Ling Jing beside her and said:

"You go wait outside for me!"

Ling Jing didn't dare to say a word in front of Ling Ju and immediately went out, closing the door.

It seems like something serious is going on...

Jing Pu, having snapped back to reality, pointed to a chair in the study and said:

"Sit down and let's talk."

After the two sat down, Ling Ju got straight to the point and said softly:

"Senior, has Ling Jing been here with you, hoeing... hoeing the fields these past few days?"

"If so, could you please stop him from hoeing? He's an Imperial Prince, after all. It's not good for him to be hoeing the fields here..."

Speaking of this, Jing Pu was taken aback. The way he looked at Ling Ju was as if he had seen a savior.

Oh my god, finally, a normal person has arrived!!

Jing Pu immediately nodded, somewhat excitedly saying:

"Of course, I've wanted to stop him from hoeing for a long time, but I couldn't persuade him!"

Seeing Jing Pu say this, Ling Ju couldn't help but grit her silver teeth. As expected, the matter of Ling Jing hoeing the fields was Ling Jing's own decision!

She had thought it was related to the Senior before. Thankfully, nothing had escalated just now.

Thankfully... thankfully...

At this moment, Jing Pu suddenly took the Dragon Heart Soft Armor from his embrace and said:

"This belongs to you, right? Before you two arrived today, Ling Jing suddenly brought it to me and forced it upon me. Please take it back."

Looking at the Dragon Heart Soft Armor, Ling Ju subconsciously touched her waist. Soon, Ling Ju's face turned red with shame and anger as she took it.

This younger brother of hers... is truly useless!!

However, just as Ling Ju was about to say something else, Ling Jing suddenly pushed open the door, looking at Ling Ju inside with a panicked expression and saying:

"Sis!! Don't interfere in this matter, I want to hoe the fields! What are you talking nonsense with the Senior about!"
