The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder

Chapter 108: 108

108 – Shopping

Shui Yuner’s room is next door to Xue Qilin’s .

After she became an inner temple disciple, she moved into Snow-facing Abode as an initiate disciple of Xue Qilin .

Her seniority must be clarified .

Xue Qilin is of the same generation as Qi Guiyuan and is his Junior Disciple Sister . According to seniority, she should be Qi Qiqi’s “Great Great Grandaunt” . As for why Xue Qilin is called “Young Ancestor”, it’s purely a matter of convenience .

In any case, as a disciple of Merak Temple’s Young Ancestor, Shui Yuner’s seniority naturally isn’t low . It stands to reason that Qi Qiqi must call her “Great Grandaunt” .

But Qi Qiqi finds this embarrassing .

Although she is younger in the Martial World, yet her seniority is much higher than Qi Qiqi’s . But Qi Qiqi still struggled with how to call Shui Yuner for a long time .

On the other hand, Shui Yuner is either not used to this sudden rise in generation, or simply doesn’t care . Anyway, she made the suggestion to Qi Qiqi for them to refer to each other as sisters .

Qi Qiqi was naturally happy to accept this suggestion .

The two soon started calling one another “Older Sister Qi” and “Younger Sister Shui” .

Getting back to the main point...

Xue Qilin went straight to Shui Yuner’s room, but she found it empty .

“Ai, my poor memory!”

Seeing the empty room, Xue Qilin patted her forehead .

“Little Yun should be in Sword Mound at this time!”

Some time ago, Shui Yuner sneaked into Sword Mound and stole the founder’s sword – Phecda, causing a disaster .

After the incident subsided, Qi Qiqi and Xue Qilin agreed to hold Liu Chengzong, who is the backstage manipulator behind the incident, partly responsible in order to be lenient with Shui Yuner .

In the end, the punishment Shui Yuner received was to be on duty at Sword Mound for half a day every day to assist the work of the Mound Guardian Elder .

This punishment is just a slap on the wrist .

With an attitude of “half a loaf is better than nothing”, Qi Qiqi used this to give an explanation to Merak Temple .

That being said, criticism was still unavoidable . But with Ye Zhen’s appeasement, the criticism quickly disappeared . Of course, this is also related to Merak Temple’s Young Ancestor, making it hard for critics to raise the issue .

As expected, Xue Qilin found Shui Yuner in the hut in front of the narrow road leading to Sword Mound, and then said “come shopping with me” and dragged the confused Shui Yuner down the mountain .

It only took a quarter of an hour, and the two appeared on a busy street in Luotian Town .

As always, the town is lively and bustling . The street vendors on both sides of the road shout loudly, selling various things – food, living animals, and even accessories and clothes .

In addition to ordinary towns people, there are many Merak Temple disciples dressed in blue and white . They use their free time to take a stroll, buy goods, or look for entertainments to relax . There are people coming and going for various reasons .

Due to the special status of Xue Qilin, Shui Yuner was the topic of conversation for a while . In order not to attract a crowd of Merak Temple’s disciples, the two have specially worn a short cloak and put on the hood to cover up their appearance for the most part .

“Ah?”

As they walked down a street, Xue Qilin suddenly found something interesting .

She saw a Merak Temple disciple throw two copper coins at a fruit street vendor several meters away and shout “peach”, and then caught the peach thrown by the street vendor .

The entire trading process was carried out in the air, as if juggling .

Xue Qilin still has a lot to learn . She took out several coins from an embroidered pouch and threw them at the street vendor .

However, the other party didn’t throw the fruit over .

Just as Xue Qilin was puzzled, the street vendor shouted: “Young Lady, what fruit do you want?”

Thus Xue Qilin remembered that she didn’t tell the other party what she wanted to buy .

To begin with, she isn’t hungry, she just wants to try out this novel shopping method .

“Anything will do!”

Xue Qilin answered loudly .

“Alright!”

The street vendor squatted down and spoke loudly as he rummaged through some stuff .

“I have something good here, yet no one likes it . Although is tastes a bit weird, but it is still delicious . It’s not really cheap, but I’ll give you a discount!”

In the end, the street vendor took out a spiky fruit with both hands .

It turned out to be a durian! Xue Qilin didn’t expect to see the “King of Fruits” here .

“Catch it!”

“Ai, wait, wait!”

Xue Qilin was too late .

Making a beautiful arc while passing above the heads of several passers-by, the durian flew towards her . At a loss for what to do, Xue Qilin subconsciously extended her hands .

“Ai ai ai! It hurts!”

The spikes on the durian hurt Xue Qilin, causing her to subconsciously pull her hands away and make cries of pain .

Shui Yuner ingeniously grasped the tip of the fruit right before it reached the ground .

“It’s quite heavy, it’s not surprising that you’re not able to take it, Young Teacher . ”

Shui Yuner pursed her lips and made fun of Xue Qilin, and then put the durian into a large embroidered bag hanging from her shoulder .

This bag is made of linen, it was specially made for Xue Qilin by a tailor to make shopping convenient . It is modeled after the modern environmentally friendly shopping bag . Compared with the containers such as boxes and baskets used to carry things in this era, it is much lighter .

Therefore, as soon as this bag appeared, Qi Qiqi whose eyes sparkled brightly requested Internal Affairs Department to ask the tailors to mass-produce it . It eventually became a standard item given to inner temple disciples .

“Young Teacher, where are we going next?”

Xue Qilin snapped her fingers .

“To buy cosmetics for Little Seven!”

Xue Qilin paused and turned to Shui Yuner .

“Little Yun, do you know where they sell stuff like that?”

Shui Yuner tilted her head in thought, and then pointed ahead of them and said: “There is a nice shop ahead . Although the shop isn’t big, but the goods they sell are refined, and they aren’t expensive . I recommend it . ”

“That so, then let’s go!”

Xue Qilin took the lead and started walking, and Shui Yuner walked alongside her .

The two look like twins .

Shui Yuner is half a head taller than Xue Qilin . But Xue Qilin’s shoes have heels, making her a lot taller . Shui Yuner wears flat bottom embroidered shoes . As a result, the height gap has narrowed a lot .

Not long after, Xue Qilin walked into the cosmetics shop recommended by Shui Yuner .

As Shui Yuner said, the shop isn’t big . At first glance, it’s not even as big as Xue Qilin’s room in Snow-facing Abode . But its decoration is rather unique .

The faint fragrance of cosmetics entered the nose . The smell isn’t as intense as expected .

Prior to this, Xue Qilin thought that cosmetics shops here are like modern cosmetics stores, that is, places filled with a mix of strong fragrances . Now it seems that she was wrong .

The lass focused on a shelf, and finally saw a box of pale pink rouge paste with jasmine scent .

“Little Yun, what do you think of this?”

Shui Yuner touched the rouge with a finger and smeared it on the back of her hand .

The pale skin is now dyed with a touch of pink, looking like a sakura blossom has fallen down on white jade .

“I think it’s pretty good . The color is light and looks natural, and it smells good . ”

“Okay, then it’s this one – shopkeep, I’d like to pay!”

Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose, called the shopkeep, and paid .

“Little Yun, you also choose one! It’s my treat!”

Feeling a bit sorry for dragging Shui Yuner to do shopping with her, Xue Qilin suddenly felt that buying something for only Qi Qiqi is inappropriate .

Most of the girls who are close to her don’t usually use makeup . After all, makeup is only a means to make you look more beautiful . But they are naturally beautiful themselves .

However, as an essential product for women, they still have some rouge paste prepared in case of emergency

Having said that, it seems that only Xue Qilin doesn’t have such things .

“No need, I haven’t run out yet . Thank you, Young Teacher . ”

Shui Yuner shook her head gently and tactfully declined Xue Qilin’s kindness with a smile on her face .

“I see...”

Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose . As the shopkeep sent them off with “thank you for your patronage”, they left the cosmetics shop .
