Chapter Six Delivering Food

  In the original plot, Linghu Chong was the first to discover this secret cave in the Cliff of Contemplation. At that time, Yue Lingshan had gradually become cold towards Linghu Chong and had fallen in love with Lin Pingzhi, causing Linghu Chong to be heartbroken. In his grief, he randomly hacked at things inside the cave, unintentionally breaking through the wall barrier of the secret cave.

  At this point, Ling Jing slightly furrowed his brow and glanced around the surroundings with a thoughtful expression, thinking to himself that since the cave was so large, if he were to slash through it bit by bit with his sword, wouldn't Linghu Chong immediately notice something amiss.

  For the time being, he could only gather his thoughts and shake his head slightly. Although he had already surpassed Linghu Cong and was the first to know about the existence of the secret cave, he still needed to think carefully about how to uncover it. If he uncovered it too abruptly, he would only arouse Linghu Cong's suspicion.

  He didn't have a good solution in his mind for the time being, but at this moment, he heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave. It was Linghu Chong who walked in. He looked around the situation inside the cave and flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes. With a forced smile, he said: "Little brother, I didn't expect that there would be such a good place on Si Gu Cliff."

  Ling Jing only smiled faintly and said, "Don't be too happy yet, Big Brother. Although this place to stay is not bad, for the next year, we can only have coarse tea and plain rice for our three meals a day, without any fine wine or meat."

  Before going up the mountain, Yue Buqun had instructed them that they must cultivate their nature and nurture their lives on this Si Guai Cliff. For one year after this, they could only eat vegetarian food, and as for wine, it was even more out of the question. However, this made both of them feel depressed and anxious.

  Indeed, Linghu Chong, who was fond of drinking, as soon as he heard Ling Jing mention this matter, suddenly let out a bitter cry and said: "Alas, this is really going to be the death of me."

  As he spoke, he lay down on a large stone slab, and began to lament, thinking that in the future he would only be able to live on small shallots and tofu, and could no longer smell the aroma of wine, his stomach was slightly acidic.

  Ling Jing glanced at him slightly, her eyes flashing for a moment. She thought to herself that now, Yue Lingxuan was obviously infatuated with her own self. Although there had been misunderstandings before and she hadn't explained them to herself yet, Leng Feng looked like he wouldn't be so disheartened by Yue Lingxuan as to go crazy. So if she wanted to continue inducing him to open the secret cave according to the original plot, it seemed that it was already impossible.

  He lightly tapped his forehead with his fingers, withdrew his gaze from Linghu Cong, and thought to himself that since the two of them were now together in a cave, every move would be difficult to hide from each other. It seemed he had to think of another way, slowly finding the location of the secret cave.

  The two fell into the cave in two places, rested for an afternoon, and waited until dusk. Suddenly, they heard a burst of footsteps outside the cave. The two who were meditating with their eyes closed suddenly sat up and walked out of the cave in three or two steps.

  As they emerged from the cave, they saw a slender figure walking up from the foot of the mountain, carrying a food box in hand and calling out: "Ling Jing, Big Brother Master, I've come to bring you lunch!"

  Ling Jing and Lin Hu Dung exchanged a glance, saying: "Shi Jie (Little Shi Mei)!"

  Two people took over the delivery of food from Linghu Chong's little sister, and Linghu Chong exclaimed in surprise: "Little sister, how did you end up delivering our meals?" It was impossible for such trivial matters to fall on the shoulders of his master's precious daughter. However, after speaking, he seemed to have a sudden realization, turned his head to glance at Ling Jing, thinking to himself that his little sister must have taken it upon herself and sneaked out to do this, but this act of kindness was unlikely to be for his sake, Linghu Chong's.

  He glanced at the two of them and knew that Yue Lingxuan must have come to see his little brother, so he secretly brought rice up the mountain. His heart suddenly felt very bitter, and even the joy of seeing Yue Lingxuan was greatly diminished.

  Ling Jing quietly gave Yue Ling Shan a thumbs up and whispered in her ear, "Awesome."

  Yue Lingxuan pouted and scrunched up her nose, smiling as she said: "Originally, Father and Mother had asked Sixth Brother to deliver your meals, but I begged him, saying: 'Sixth Brother, you're already exhausted from practicing all day, yet you still have to run around delivering food to Ling Jing and Big Brother. Won't that exhaust you? Why don't I take over for you instead? You should be thanking me, after all.'"

  She stomped her foot and suddenly became angry again: "But this Lu Hou is really hateful, he actually said to me: 'Little Shifu, I don't think it's hard at all. Now among all the people, only I can go see Master Ge and Little Shidi, I'm so happy that I haven't had time to feel tired.'"

  "He also said: 'Little sister, now you won't see little brother for a whole year, ah, this is really heart-wrenching.' You guys say, isn't this person especially hateful? Later I lost my temper and got angry..."

  Linghu Cong suddenly laughed and said: "You're so angry that you'd draw your sword to scare him, aren't you?"

  Ling Jingxin knew her elder sister's temperament all too well and was afraid that she would indeed do such arrogant and overbearing things, and at this moment, she also found it amusing.

  Yue Lingxuan stuck out her tongue and said, "It wasn't like that." She turned to look at Ling Jing again and said, "Later I got so angry that I cried, and Sixth Brother was so scared that he hastily agreed to let me come up and deliver the meal for him."

  Linghu Chong's face suddenly darkened, and the smile on his face became very forced. He knew that Little Martial Sister would not cry because of him, and he felt a sour taste in his heart.

  Ling Jing gently grasped Yue Lingxuan's soft hands, knowing that this woman could do so much for him, and it was already a deep affection.

  Yue Lingshan pressed his palm lightly, and the two of them exchanged a smile.

  ......

  After a while, Ling Jing and Yue Lingshan came to a place outside the cave alone. Yue Lingshan took out the remaining things from the food box, and she had already left some for Lin Huchong in the cave, but now there were only two or three small dishes left.

  She said in a low voice: "Ling Jing, is it really appropriate for us to leave Da Shixiong in the cave like this?"

  Ling Jing smiled and said, "Silly, if Master Big Brother sees us two sitting together, he will be unhappy in his heart." He furrowed his brow and continued, "Besides, am I really such a narrow-minded person?"

  Yue Lingshan quickly grasped his hand and said in a soft voice: "Alright, I was wrong to suspect you, okay?"

  Ling Jing let out a soft hum, lowered his head to glance at the few small dishes in front of him, and suddenly smiled wryly: "Unbelievable, no wine is one thing, but they're actually all vegetarian dishes."

  He pinched Yue Lingxuan's delicate nose and said, "Foolish, didn't even know to make a small stove for me."

  Yue Ling Shan waved her small head and pushed away his hand, saying: "I hate it, why did you pinch my nose."

  Ling Jing leaned against a large stone, lazily saying: "Because you're an idiot, if it were Sixth Brother, he might even bring us a bottle of wine. You say, aren't you stupid?"

  Yue Lingxuan let out a soft hum, turned around and fiddled with the food box again. Ling Jing watched from the side as she opened another layer inside the box, and his eyes lit up instantly. He walked forward.

  Yue Lingshan took out a small bottle of wine and also took out half a roasted chicken from inside, pushing the two things forward and said reluctantly: "Nuo, for you." Then she turned around and started to sulk.

  Ling Jing hastily went up and smiled apologetically: "Okay, don't be angry anymore, I've apologized to you, isn't that alright?"

  Yue Lingshan pouted her small mouth and hummed softly, turning her head to one side.

  Ling Jing smiled and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, whispering in her ear: "If you get any angrier, I'll bite your ear."

  When he spoke, his lips were almost stuck to Yueling Shan's ear, and Yueling Shan only felt a wave of heat all over her body. A scorching breath came from the side of her ear, and she suddenly became flustered and disordered. Her whole body also softened somewhat, and she said: "You... let me go first, I'm not angry anymore."

  Ling Jing smiled lightly and released her, waiting for Yue Lingxuan to turn around, only to see that her face was flushed with a layer of misty water in her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke her delicate face, saying softly: "As long as you're not angry, it's fine, let's have dinner together."

  Yue Lingshan nodded slightly with her head lowered, making a soft "en" sound that was as faint as the hum of a mosquito, and her slender body trembled slightly.

  Ling Jing saw her blushing and looked at the small wine and roasted chicken in front of him, smiling: "The treatment of Big Brother Master won't be the same as mine, right?"

  Yue Lingshan shot him a glance and said: "Eldest senior brother only has one bottle of wine, must you even compare with this?"
