Chapter 16

Qin Ran found a reclining chair in the storage room, which was his master's favorite before he passed away. His master liked to lie under the old locust tree for a whole day. After his master's ascension, he stayed at home all day, mostly lying on the sofa, rarely using this chair, so he discarded it in the storage room.

Today he deliberately took it out because it became useful again.

He took it to the riverside to wash it clean, then moved the chair to the lawn next to the pit Li Shiyin had dug. He then let the chair bask in the sun while he went back into the house, poured a glass of iced soda, and slowly walked back with the iced soda in hand.

He lay on the dried chair, looking at his silly apprentice busily working in the pit, feeling a strange sense of comfort...

Hmm, at this moment, he felt that he should be hung on a streetlamp.

Fortunately there were no streetlamps in this world, he took a deep breath of soda.

Li Shiyin in the pit had become dirty and black, her whole body covered in mud, and the exposed skin was also tanned by the sun.

Recalling when she first joined Dao Sword Sect and attended the Trial Assembly, she was still a clean little girl, and someone was even shocked by her beauty... At that time, she was indeed a beauty with skin like creamy jade.

But after worshipping Dan Peak for just a few days, she had been tortured into this state, and it was not necessary to point out who the culprit was.

At this time, Li Shiyin was dressed in casual clothes, short sleeves, and a skirt to her knees. It was really difficult for Qin Ran to dig out these shabby clothes in the immortal sect. Her long hair was tied in a single ponytail behind her head. Covered in mud and sweat, no one would think she was an immortal cultivator who had joined the immortal sect, only seeing her as a country farm girl.

The medicinal bath Qin Ran made could relieve physical fatigue and enhance physique, but it could not improve skin quality. It was unknown whether he did it on purpose, causing Li Shiyin to become like this.

Li Shiyin dug the mud earnestly. After digging for a while, a large pile of soil accumulated. She then stopped, took a dustpan from the side, shoveled the mud into the dustpan with a shovel. After filling a dustpan, she strenuously lifted it up to dump the soil out. It was at this moment that she saw Qin Ran lying on the reclining chair drinking soda above.

"Master!!!!" She instantly broke down and shouted, spilling the mud in her hands, dirtying her clothes even more, "What are you doing!?"

It seemed Qin Ran had just come back to his senses. He opened his eyes to look at Li Shiyin, but felt the sunlight was glaring, so he squinted.

He needed to get a pair of sunglasses, he thought.

"I'm supervising you!" He pretended to be nonchalant, taking a sip of soda, and said, "To prevent you from slacking off..."

"Master!" Li Shiyin raised her hand, "Wouldn't the efficiency be even higher if both of us directed?"

Qin Ran glared at her, "Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt!"

Finally, she still listened to Qin Ran's advice. While digging, Li Shiyin also dug steps at the edge of the pit for getting up and down.

After chattering for a while, Qin Ran also felt tired. He took out a jade slip from the Universe Bag and analyzed its array structure, trying to figure out how to crack it.

In fact, teasing Li Shiyin was a spur of the moment impulse. Cracking these jade slips without incantations was the real plan.

Under the scorching sun, the master lazily cracked jade slips on the lawn recliner while the apprentice diligently worked in the muddy pit below.

Suddenly at one point, Li Shiyin in the pit excitedly shouted, "Master! Master! Look what I dug up! Quick, look!"

"What is it?" Qin Ran asked uninterestedly, glancing into the pit. He saw Li Shiyin holding up a long black object triumphantly with both hands.

"A flying sword, it's a flying sword!" Li Shiyin jumped for joy, "I dug up a flying sword used by senior Dan Peak."

Qin Ran's spirit shook. Did this silly apprentice dig up a treasure? He looked closely, then lost interest. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a stream of water to rinse away the mud on the sword, revealing the blade inside.

"Master!" The water mixed with mud splashed Li Shiyin. Annoyed, she put the sword away, no longer wanting Qin Ran to see it. But when she looked at it again herself, she realized she was holding a rusty broken sword.

"You dug up a discarded useless sword and treated it like a treasure..." Qin Ran helplessly shook his head and sighed, "Can you have some backbone?!"

Li Shiyin ignored her wet hair. Looking at the shabby sword in her hand, her hopes were shattered. She pouted, on the verge of tears.

Qin Ran glanced at her without responding, then lay back down with the jade slip.

After thinking sadly for a while, Li Shiyin still threw the broken sword aside, though reluctantly.

"Pick it up. What if you get cut by it later unintentionally?" The villainous master spoke again seeing her throw away the sword.

She waved her fist, but still replied, "I'll put it away later!"
