What a Worry!

Jing Pu felt it was absolutely necessary to have a serious talk with these two.

Jing Pu didn't know how Ling Jing had tricked his sister just now, nor did he understand why Ling Jing insisted on digging holes on his property.

But... none of that mattered!

What mattered was that Jing Pu had to make it clear to these two that no more digging was allowed here!

Before, Jing Pu had been busy tidying up the backyard and planting. He hadn't had the time to manage the front yard. Now that the backyard was done, he had to deal with the front yard.

Immediately, Jing Pu pouted and made a gesture, saying:

"Let's talk in the pavilion."

When everyone arrived at the pavilion, Jing Pu looked at the Dragon Heart Inner Armor in Ling Ju's hand and pouted:

"I really don't want this thing..."

Ling Ju's slightly flushed face dimmed. First of all, it was strange enough to offer her own clothes to a Senior. Ling Ju had never done such a thing before.

However, if the Senior didn't accept it, did that mean the Senior was still angry?

After all, if the Senior didn't accept it, it would mean the Senior wouldn't continue to accept Ling Jing's teachings either?

Ling Ju's admiration for Jing Pu now flowed like a mighty river. Ling Ju had seen great immortals from the Upper Realm before, but she had never seen an Upper Realm immortal like Jing Pu.

He was so kind, and being with Jing Pu felt effortless, without any pressure. Most importantly, he was so generous.

Of course, sometimes Upper Realm immortals, while traveling in the lower realms, might occasionally offer guidance to a person or two if they were in a good mood. But they had never been as generous as Senior Jing Pu.

He gave away divine artifacts and great opportunities.

Moreover, most importantly, Senior Jing Pu wasn't just like this with Ling Jing; he was also polite to Elder Di Chen and Elder Ling Tiannan, giving them paintings and opportunities as well.

Ling Ju had truly never seen such a kind Upper Realm immortal.

However, the kinder Ling Ju found Jing Pu to be, the more guilty she felt in her heart.

After all, how could she have guessed the Senior's character like that before? It was truly wrong. If Senior Jing Pu knew what she had thought before, how heartbroken would he be?

Jing Pu had no idea what Ling Ju was imagining. He looked very seriously at Ling Ju and Ling Jing and said:

"As you can see, it's not that I'm stopping Ling Jing from digging here, it's just that there's no need to dig anymore!"

Jing Pu felt he needed to be a bit tougher. After all... you can't bully honest people!

What was the meaning of this? Just because he couldn't cultivate, they were all ganging up on him to cause trouble?

Moreover, Jing Pu thought that Ling Ju seemed like a normal person and should be able to understand reason, so it was better for him to be serious.

After Jing Pu finished speaking, Ling Ju and Ling Jing fell into thought.

Hmm... Senior's words couldn't be that simple.

Senior said there was no need to dig anymore, could it be... that Jing Pu's opportunity at this stage was over?

While the two were lost in thought.

Jing Pu continued earnestly:

"I'm going to plant some flowers and plants in my yard next. If you keep digging like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to plant anything next year. It'll be too late, you understand?"

Ling Ju and Ling Jing were stunned...

They understood!!

They really understood!!

So that's how it is!!

They knew what Senior meant. Senior still wanted to continue teaching Ling Jing, but this was like cultivation; each stage had its own practice.

The practice of digging was over, and now it was time for deeper cultivation!

Didn't Senior also say that if they kept digging, it would be too late!

Hearing this, Ling Jing's face showed guilt. If that was the case, Senior must have thought she could achieve his requirements within a few days, but she took seven days. She was going to miss Senior's plan!

She... was truly too foolish. In Senior's eyes, she wasn't up to par at all, but she would definitely work hard from now on!

After Jing Pu finished speaking, he kept observing Ling Ju and Ling Jing's expressions.

Jing Pu was panicking. They said ordinary people were like dogs to cultivators, not treated as humans. Had his words been too harsh? What if these two got angry and tried to kill him?

But, from the looks of it... it seemed okay!

Jing Pu saw the look of guilt on Ling Jing's face. Mmm-hmm, a teachable student. The greatest virtue is knowing and correcting one's mistakes.

After the Ling Ju siblings snapped back to reality, Ling Ju was the first to excitedly look at Jing Pu and ask:

"Senior, can I come and help too when the time comes?"

Jing Pu nodded and said, "Of cour—"

Before Jing Pu could finish his "of course," he suddenly froze. What did she mean, "can I come too"?

Jing Pu had no problem with this beautiful fairy sister. Having a normal person to talk to occasionally made Jing Pu very happy, and she was so pretty.

But... what did "too" mean?

I didn't agree to let anyone else come, did I?

Could it be... it's this Ling Jing...?!

Before Jing Pu could fully process what was happening, Ling Jing suddenly looked at Jing Pu with excitement and said:

"Senior, please let my sister come too."

Jing Pu blinked. Letting his sister come is no problem... but... when did I ever say you could come too?!

At this moment, Ling Ju was staring intently at Jing Pu, afraid that Jing Pu would refuse her. Her slightly fearful expression truly made Jing Pu unable to bear it.

Jing Pu was a bit speechless... You cultivators... are you tired of eating meat all the time and want to switch to some cabbage?

Why aren't you cultivating to become immortals properly, but instead running here to dig pits and scrape dirt?!

Fine, fine. Jing Pu pouted and said:

"You can come if you want, but I'm making this clear upfront: no messing around this time. What I say goes, and what I tell you to do, you do. If you mess around, I will absolutely have Elder Di and Elder Ling Tiannan escort you out. Understand?"

Ling Ju and Ling Jing both nodded excitedly. Ling Ju then stepped forward again, holding the Dragon Heart Soft Armor in her hands, and presented it to Jing Pu with a fervent expression:

"Then Senior, please accept it."

Looking at this women's leather armor, Jing Pu was speechless. I'm really not a cross-dressing enthusiast!

Why do they keep shoving this women's clothing at me?!

Jing Pu sat there speechless, while Ling Ju's face turned red:

"Although I know Senior won't be interested in this item, it's still my heartfelt offering. Please, Senior, you must accept it."

Ling Ju was so sincere that Jing Pu couldn't help but wonder if this women's clothing was something very valuable?

But that doesn't make sense either... these people are working for me, and they still want to give me gifts?

Is there such a thing in the world?

In the end, Jing Pu accepted it, mainly because he couldn't stand Ling Ju and Ling Jing nagging him one after another.

Finally, after the two left, Jing Pu sighed slightly. He figured that as long as these people behaved, there shouldn't be too much trouble.

Jing Pu pondered for a moment, then pouted. Forget it, he'll think about it tomorrow. Jing Pu immediately tidied up, abandoned filling the pit, and walked towards the house. He had many ideas for repairing the courtyard tomorrow.

Jing Pu needed to prepare some tools, such as saws, scrapers for mud, and so on.

Of course, cultivators like Ling Ju wouldn't actually need these, but... these people suddenly got this whim, and who knows when they'll stop working? Then Jing Pu would have to do it himself.

What a headache!
