The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 71

“Clang”

The longsword, which had been so imposing moments before, was instantly sliced in two and fell to the ground.

The audience below fell into instant silence.

The Earl of Renowned Sword, Li Hao, had spent a fortune engraving fifty-six lightning talismans on this sword, greatly enhancing its power.

Moreover, Li Hao was the son of an elder and had been steeped in immortal cultivation since childhood; no matter what, he shouldn’t have been so easily defeated.

But it couldn’t be helped.

He was facing Qi Xianqing.

Li Hao froze in place, his expression vacant: “How is this possible? Why is my Earl of Rushing Thunder so…”

Qi Xianqing withdrew her sword and said nothing, but the indifference in her eyes, in Li Hao’s view, was filled with deep disdain.

This stung Li Hao immensely.

His eyes quickly turned bloodshot, and he roared at the sky, rushing towards Qi Xianqing and unleashing a heavy punch at her.

Qi Xianqing did not strike back she merely retreated slowly. In the sunlight, her movements were graceful, as if this was not a fight, but a leisurely stroll.

Every punch Li Hao threw, Qi Xianqing retreated one step.

Yan Jue looked up, staring blankly at Qi Xianqing on the martial stage.

Every one of Li Hao’s attacks was effortlessly neutralized by Qi Xianqing with just two fingers. Yan Jue watched Qi Xianqing’s movements intently and suddenly recalled the Buddha’s Flower Plucking Fist she had once read about in a book in the Scripture Repository, which also used such elegant postures to subdue the enemy.

In Qi Xianqing’s hands, Li Hao was as unsightly as a stray dog.

Li Hao: “Aah!!!”

Li Hao raised a hand and fiercely struck at Qi Xianqing, who easily sidestepped.

It was completely indistinguishable from making a monkey perform tricks.

The immortal sword “Earl” lay on the ground, and Li Hao’s heart felt as if it were bleeding. Li Hao completely disregarded his movements and image, raising a leg to kick at Qi Xianqing with an extremely crude posture.

Qi Xianqing suddenly made a move, grabbing Li Hao’s calf, and using that momentum, she flung Li Hao out.

The first day of the intense Five Dragons Summit thus concluded.

The lingering sunset glow enveloped the green mountains, the sky gradually darkened, and the stars shone, leaving only a deep purple hue.

At night, Qi Xianqing stood in the main hall.

Standing before her was a man in a purple robe.

“I originally thought that even if you faced Li Hao in the Five Dragons Summit, you would show him some favor for my sake.” Elder Li Tian suppressed his anger: “I have always taken care of you, is this how you treat my son?”

Qi Xianqing lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Li Tian: “My son’s Dao Heart was protected by me through a thousand ways, how can you just destroy it?”

In the corner, a young man in a purplish-red Daoist robe hugged his head and crouched on the ground, his expression terrified: “Father!”

Li Tian turned to look at Li Hao, who was scared out of his wits, and his expression softened a little: “Hao’er, don’t be afraid, Father will teach her a lesson for you right now!”

Li Hao had never suffered hardship since childhood.

But Qi Xianqing’s actions today, and the public humiliation, would likely make him associate swords with this day from now on.

Qi Xianqing: “Has Elder Li ever considered that it is precisely because Junior Brother Li Hao was overly protected by you since childhood that his Dao Heart is so fragile and easily broken?”

Li Tian didn’t expect Qi Xianqing to refute him; his face immediately turned pale, and he sharply commanded: “You! Kneel.”

Qi Xianqing had grown up in the sect, essentially watched over by these elders.

Qi Xianqing had received considerable care from the elders in her cultivation journey, so she naturally wouldn’t casually defy an elder’s command.

Qi Xianqing immediately knelt down.

Li Tian: “Do you admit your mistake?”

Qi Xianqing: “Disciple has made no mistake, and does not know how to admit it.”

Li Tian: “You!”

Qi Xianqing: “Although Junior Brother Li Hao’s immortal sword is precious, it has been enshrined and lacked the necessary training, which is why it was so easily shattered before Candle Shadow. As for after the immortal sword broke, Junior Brother could have directly left the stage, but he still didn’t, which I naturally understood as a desire to continue the challenge.”

Qi Xianqing’s face was calm as water although kneeling, she was neither subservient nor arrogant, which truly frustrated Li Tian.

Qi Xianqing was the Immortal Spirit Body, beloved by the sect members since childhood. He recalled that when Qi Xianqing was still young, she was taught in rotation by the sect elders.

Although Li Tian had never punished her, it didn’t mean he dared not.

Li Hao huddled in the corner, terrified: “Sword! Sword! Where is my sword?”

Li Tian: “Hao’er, don’t be afraid, Father will forge you a better sword another day!”

Li Tian rushed toward Qi Xianqing like a gust of wind, raising his hand to slap her.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: “Who dares strike my disciple?”

Li Tian froze; his raised hand stiffened in mid-air, and his scalp couldn’t help but prickle.

He suddenly felt a… extremely terrifying aura coming from behind him.

A gust of wind blew, and the door opened with a bang.

Yun Zhen walked in with an imposing presence, wearing an apricot-red silk embroidered begonia trailing gown, the skirt hem fluttering in the wind: “My disciple showed great restraint against your son on the field today, not even daring to strike back, greatly disgracing my Blazing Fire Sect. I haven’t come looking for you yet, and you dare come here to find fault with my disciple?”

Before Li Tian could react, Yun Zhen’s figure turned into a blur in the air and landed directly in front of him.

“Slap”

Yun Zhen swung a slap.

Five savage scratch marks immediately appeared on Li Tian’s face.

Although Li Tian was an elder, he was only at the Sixth Realm. Facing the terrifying pressure of an Eighth Realm Grand Master, he had no room to retaliate.

Li Tian cursed: “You shrew!”

Yun Zhen grabbed Qi Xianqing and walked away: “I warn you and your son, don’t you dare trouble my disciple again in the future, otherwise, you know the consequences!”

The main hall door was once again blown open by a gentle breeze. Outside were the starry sky and drifting white clouds.

Yun Zhen waved her right hand, and a white jade long suo (shuttle) suddenly appeared beneath her feet. The suo reflected the ethereal moonlight, carrying Yun Zhen and Qi Xianqing as they flew away.

The long suo appeared transparent during flight, only revealing a trace of immaculate cloud mist when it caught the moonlight.

This was Immortal Yun Zhen’s magic treasure.

The Lingyue Suo, which had slain tens of thousands of demons in the war between Immortals and Demons.

Qi Xianqing left with Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen controlled the Lingyue Suo, still muttering curses: “That old fool, how dare he pick a fight with me? Does he think I’m dead just because I’ve been in seclusion?”

Qi Xianqing: “…”

“You, you’re just too kind-tempered, which is why you’re always getting bullied in the sect. His Dao Heart is unstable, easily shattered, and he blames you for a proper competition?”

“Why did you hold back today when you fought that boy surnamed Li? Why did you give him time to throw punches at you? Wouldn’t it have been better to just kick him in his vital point?”

It was night, and the cool mountain breeze brushed past her ears. Qi Xianqing’s gaze fell upon the bright moon in the distance, and she lowered her eyes, saying nothing.

Although the elders’ argument was a somewhat ugly scene.

Qi Xianqing still curved her lips into a smile.

Yan Jue was already exhausted after a day of competition.

She returned to the Shuiyun Sect dormitory. Before she got close, she saw a newspaper lying on the ground.

The Chronicle of Five Dragons and a Hundred Matters.

Yan Jue couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the newspaper on the ground.

During the Five Dragons Summit, The Chronicle of Five Dragons and a Hundred Matters was definitely updated most frequently, as the competition always provided abundant material.

Yan Jue slowly returned to her room, sat on the bed, and opened the first page of The Chronicle of Five Dragons and a Hundred Matters.

Shock! Li Hao and the little couple severely beaten?!

Did Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing arrange it long ago?!

Yan Jue stared at the lines of text for a long time, then suddenly recalled the scene she had witnessed at the Five Dragons Summit earlier today, where Qi Xianqing treated Li Hao like a monkey.

Yan Jue couldn’t help but smile.

Others didn’t know, but she could tell.

Qi Xianqing did it on purpose.

As Yan Jue looked at the text in the newspaper, a vague thought formed in her mind, and a wave of warmth surged through her heart.

How could Qi Xianqing, the universally beloved Senior Sister of the sect, casually tease a Junior Brother for no reason?

It was because, a few days ago, in the Five Dragons Plaza, Li Hao had verbally provoked her.

And at the Five Dragons banquet, Li Hao’s elder father had embarrassed her with the Cup of Heaven and Earth.

However, it was also possible that she was being self-indulgent… but Yan Jue, lying in bed, still couldn’t stop her mind from wandering.

It was dusk, and the sun was setting.

Yan Jue lay on the bed, her body gradually shrinking, transforming into the appearance of a red fox.

She flipped out the window and slowly walked into the forest.

The forest was quiet, filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Yan Jue trod on her four black paws, heading towards a path she hadn’t visited in a long time.

The Valley of a Hundred Flowers.

The flowers in the Valley of a Hundred Flowers were always in bloom. Flowers of all colors blossomed under the setting sun, swaying in the wind. The huge, round sun hung on the horizon, dyeing everything around with a magnificent hue.

Yan Jue sat in the flower patch, her large black ears twitching.

To be precise, she was no longer a little fox.

She was a large fox, her four tails waving like flames in the wind, both fluffy and beautiful.

Her amber eyes were clear and gentle, but if she bared her sharp canines, she could even look a little terrifying.

“What is master thinking about?” A gentle voice suddenly came from behind.

The white fox (Bai Ying) was slender and graceful, slowly emerging from the flower patch. It leaned over, rubbing against the red fox’s neck in a flattering manner.

Yan Jue stepped back, looking at the white fox expressionlessly.

Bai Ying immediately put some distance between them: “This concubine knows her mistake.”

Yan Jue looked at the gradually disappearing sunset and sighed.

She suddenly thought of the Demon Lord’s corpse in the cave beneath the cliff, and the enemy currently hiding in the shadows, whose location was unknown.

This world harbored many unknown dangers.

Although she was fine now, Qi Xianqing was the Immortal Spirit Body and the female protagonist, so her future would definitely be extremely difficult that was certain.

And also… her inexplicable feelings for Qi Xianqing.

The little fox baby was troubled and worried.

Bai Ying looked at Yan Jue for a moment before carefully saying: “Is master’s trouble concerning Dream Heng Lord (Meng Heng Jun, Qi Xianqing)?”

Yan Jue subconsciously wanted to deny it, but decided against it: “Yes.”

Bai Ying: “Has master heard of a fox’s innate instinct called repaying a kindness?”

Yan Jue paused slightly.

“Master’s troubles may stem from this. Foxes are the creatures in this world most adept at repaying kindness. If someone saves a fox’s life, even repaying with their body in the next life is possible.”

Bai Ying: “Dream Heng Lord saved master’s life. It is natural for master to think of her. Perhaps after master repays the kindness, this feeling will disappear.”

The moon was out.

The night was quiet, and the moonlight was like water.

Yan Jue felt that Bai Ying was right.

Qi Xianqing had saved her life.

From now on, she must protect Qi Xianqing well.

She wouldn’t let anyone hurt her.
