Ling Ju, who was already unhappy about digging the field and the Dragon Heart Soft Armor, was now furious.

However, because Jing Pu was nearby, Ling Ju suppressed her anger, immediately got up, and looked at Jing Pu beside her with an apologetic expression:

"Senior, let's end today's matter here. I promise Ling Jing won't cause you any more trouble!"

Jing Pu was touched. Jing Pu wanted to cry. What kind of fairy sister had he met?

She was so understanding, so reasonable, so beautiful, and spoke so nicely. Jing Pu was truly moved to tears.

Jing Pu immediately nodded with a touched expression:

"Alright, then hurry up and take him back. Go back and guide him well, and don't resort to violence, okay?"

Jing Pu meant, "Beat this brat to death!"

Ling Ju gritted her teeth, nodded, and then dragged the excited Ling Jing beside her and turned to leave the room.

At this moment, Jing Pu grinned and leaned back onto a nearby chair in a "Ge You lie" pose, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curling upwards as he let out a series of silly laughs.

Peace... finally, peace...

Right, there was also Lie Chun's matter. Speaking of which, he had just given Elder Di a painting. Elder Di must have been very happy. He would go find Elder Di later and tell him not to let Lie Chun come again.

From then on, his world would truly be peaceful~~

Jing Pu had already envisioned his future happy life. The pitted ground in the front yard was clearly no longer suitable for planting.

However, Jing Pu looked around and realized the backyard was enough. Jing Pu's backyard was about half the size of a football field, and what he planted there would be almost enough to eat.

Jing Pu planned to plant some flowers and plants in the front yard. From then on, his peaceful days would begin.

Jing Pu became happier the more he thought about it. Right, he should go tidy up the front yard first. Jing Pu had only half-finished tidying it before. He had thought he would finish it tonight, but since those two would come back tomorrow to continue the destruction, tidying it up felt pointless.

But now it was different. Since those two wouldn't be coming anymore, Jing Pu felt motivated. He planned to finish tidying it tonight and then go to Qinghe Town tomorrow to buy seeds.

Originally, Jing Pu had planned to leave through the door, but Ling Ju and Ling Jing didn't seem to have left and were blocking the doorway.

He guessed it was because of the digging incident earlier.

It would be too awkward for Jing Pu to leave through the door now, so he directly climbed out the window to the front yard.

Jing Pu believed that since Ling Jing was so afraid of Ling Ju, Ling Ju would definitely handle Ling Jing. With this thought, Jing Pu happily went to the front yard to tidy up.

Meanwhile, at the doorway, Ling Ju gritted her teeth and looked at Ling Jing in front of her.

"Come back with me. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?!"

But at this moment, Ling Jing, both cowardly and defiant, said:

"I won't! I won't go back! Where did I embarrass myself?!"

Ling Ju pointed at the dirt on Ling Jing's body and reprimanded:

"Look at you, covered in dirt! What kind of behavior is this!"

After speaking, Ling Ju suddenly took out the Dragon Heart Soft Armor and glared:

"And this! Ling Jing, oh Ling Jing, you're really something, giving away your own sister's belongings to someone else?!"

Ling Jing, who was already anxious, became even more flustered upon seeing the Dragon Heart Soft Armor in Ling Ju's hand:

"Why did Senior return this to you? It's over! Senior must be angry!"

Ling Ju was about to reach out and hit Ling Jing, gritting her teeth:

"Senior is angry?? Senior is extremely happy! Have you been using that broken hoe every day until your brain fell out?!"

Hearing this, Ling Jing took a few deep breaths, then gritted her teeth and said:

"I didn't want to say anything, I was afraid of revealing it and incurring the Senior's displeasure. But if you're going to be like this, sister, I have to explain it to you clearly!"

The next second, under Ling Ju's bewildered gaze, Ling Jing took out her hoe from her storage space, placed it in front of Ling Ju, and said:

"Sister, look for yourself! Is this really a broken hoe?!"

The hoe was covered in dirt, so dirty that nothing could be seen clearly. Ling Ju took a step back with a look of disgust.

However, when Ling Jing directly wiped away the dried mud with her hand, a look of shock appeared on Ling Ju's exquisitely beautiful face.

This hoe was... a divine artifact forged from Golden Pearl Hong Iron?!!

Golden Pearl, iron used to make a hoe?!!

Was this crafted by Senior himself?!!

But before Ling Ju could turn around in astonishment, Ling Jing pushed it forward again:

"And, sister, take this hoe and feel it yourself!"

If it were just moments ago, Ling Ju would definitely not have touched the dirty hoe. But now, Ling Ju hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and extended her jade-like hand to grasp it.

Just like Ling Jing and Lie Chun at that time, the moment Ling Ju grasped the hoe, she saw another world, and a throbbing pain began to spread throughout her body.

Ling Ju's strength was much greater than Ling Jing's and Lie Chun's, so she didn't collapse to the ground like them.

However, she still let out a muffled groan, her face contorted in pain. The sight of such an expression on her celestial beauty was truly heart-wrenching.

But there's a saying, no matter how beautiful a sister is, she's not that impressive in her brother's eyes. Ling Jing didn't feel any pity looking at Ling Ju's state. Instead, he took the hoe back and said somewhat smugly:

"You know now, don't you? Did you think I was an idiot, that I'd actually be digging fields every day!"

Ling Ju let out a long breath, looking at the hoe in front of her with disbelief. Then, she suddenly looked up at Ling Jing and said:

"But... when Senior heard me say I didn't want you to dig fields, he seemed very happy..."

Hearing this, the smug look on Ling Jing's face vanished, replaced by an anxious expression. "Sister!! Don't you understand yet? Senior was speaking sarcastically! Originally, Senior taught me and gave me a great opportunity, and he didn't ask for anything in return. It was I who insisted, and only then did Senior take me in."

"And you, you barge in here angry from the start, acting like Senior was wasting my time. Do you think Senior would be happy? Senior must be angry."

"And this Dragon Heart Soft Armor, I begged Senior to accept it. Now look, the Dragon Heart Soft Armor has been returned. If Senior doesn't want this Dragon Heart Soft Armor, it means Senior doesn't want to teach me anymore and wants to cut ties with me!"

Ling Ju was a bit stunned. In just one minute, everything she had thought before was completely overturned. She was at a loss for what to do.

After thinking quickly, Ling Ju grabbed Ling Jing and prepared to enter the study.

Ling Jing immediately frowned:

"What now?!"

Ling Ju didn't look back:

"Naturally, to apologize to Senior!"

When they pushed the door open, they found that no one was in the room anymore.

Ling Ju's heart sank. Senior... was really angry!!

However, after Ling Jing looked around the room for a while, she suddenly pointed outside the window at Jing Pu, who was filling in a hole with a shovel:

"Senior is outside!"

Jing Pu couldn't be happier right now. As he filled the hole, he hummed a tune, already envisioning his future happy life.

He'd plant a few trees in the front yard, then brew some wine himself and bury it under the trees. Speaking of which, Jing Pu was exceptional at brewing wine; his skill as a Wine Immortal was already perfected.

When Jing Pu was halfway done filling the hole, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.

Jing Pu turned around and saw Ling Ju and Ling Jing walking out of the house. Looking at Ling Ju, Jing Pu felt a surge of emotion. What a beautiful and kind Fairy Maiden she was, and where did she come from?

He wondered what this Fairy Maiden liked, and what he could give her as a gift later.

At this moment, as Ling Ju and Ling Jing walked over, a bright smile appeared on Jing Pu's face.

It seemed they had persuaded him.

When Ling Ju and Ling Jing reached Jing Pu, before Jing Pu could say anything, they both bowed slightly. Ling Ju lowered her head, her face full of apology:

"I'm truly sorry, Senior."

Was it because of digging the hole?

Jing Pu smiled and waved his hand:

"It's okay, no..."

But before Jing Pu could finish speaking, Ling Ju suddenly added:

"Please, Senior, you must keep Ling Jing. It was Ling Ju's mistake just now."

Saying this, Ling Ju's face flushed red as she offered the Dragon Heart Soft Armor with both hands:

"Please, Senior, you must accept this as well."

Jing Pu stood there blinking, his bright smile slowly fading, his mouth twitching twice.

Damn it!
