The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 72.1

Qi Xianqing’s figure flickered. She stepped out with her right foot, directly piercing through the wall of fire in front of her. In the sunlight, her expression was fierce and cold, transforming into a fleeting afterimage in the air.

She actually dared to pass through the sea of fire without hesitation!

Yun Jie formed a hand seal with her left hand, and instantly performed an incantation. The sea of fire at Qi Xianqing’s feet immediately surged up to twice the height of a person.

Qi Xianqing still maintained that aloof gaze, as if nothing mattered. Her dark, deep eyes quietly watched Yun Jie, and in a flash, she was already right in front of her.

Yun Jie reacted by immediately raising a huge shield talisman in front of herself.

“Crack” A crisp sound of shattering rang out.

Candle shadow whistled like a dragon, piercing directly through the shield. Yun Jie fiercely thrust out her right hand, gripping a wooden talisman to block the strike.

With a deafening “boom,” the impact felt like mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting!

Qi Xianqing leaped into the air, her sword edge spinning downwards, and then fiercely flipped the sword up.

Her arm strength was astonishing. The wooden talisman arced through the air and fell straight down.

Yun Jie’s pupils contracted. Qi Xianqing’s sword edge was just one step away from piercing her throat. Qi Xianqing always possessed an aura that made people feel this wasn’t a sparring match, but a life-and-death duel. Candle shadow flashed with a cyan light. Yun Jie immediately flipped backward several steps.

By the time she realized what happened, she was already outside the arena.

A burst of applause erupted below the stage: “Aahhhhh, I won!”

“Bah, our Menghengjun won!”

Yan Jue was stunned. She watched Qi Xianqing slowly walk off the stage. There were faint red marks on the back of her hands, likely burn marks from the Tengshe. Qi Xianqing was just about to brush past her.

Yan Jue looked at the wounds on the back of her hands and frowned.

Qi Xianqing suddenly said, “How was the fight?”

Yan Jue: “Huh?”

The sunlight was warm, and the girl looked down at her, the ice in her eyes melting.

This was the first time she had ever asked someone for their opinion on her match.

Yan Jue met her gaze, her cheeks suddenly feeling hot. She sincerely exclaimed, “It was particularly good. You are truly incredible, Head Senior Sister.”

Aside from being a little ruthless and a little crazy, everything else was perfect.

Qi Xianqing smiled, turned, and walked away.

The second day of the competition was largely uneventful for Yan Jue.

She fought against a junior disciple she didn’t usually know. After a somewhat nerve wracking match, she still won, advancing to the third round tomorrow.

The matches ended quickly, finishing by the afternoon.

Afterward was free time for the disciples of the various sects.

As one of the righteous immortal sects, the Five Dragons Sect boasted scenery and architecture that could easily be considered tourist attractions.

Disciples from various sects naturally took the opportunity to visit the different peaks.

The Hundred Flowers Valley, which was usually quiet, was crowded with people. However, the Five Dragons Sect specifically sent disciples to guard the valley to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to steal the sect’s resources.

Visiting was fine, but stealing resources was strictly forbidden.

When Yan Jue arrived at the Shocking Fire Sect, Qi Xianqing was in her dormitory.

This was a rare moment of leisure during the Five Dragons Summit for Qi Xianqing.

Yan Jue approached and saw Qi Xianqing sitting at her desk, holding two blades of Ula grass.

She expressionlessly weaved the grass in her hands. The two thin blades quickly took on completely different shapes and were reinforced with a layer of spiritual energy.

Many woven items were already placed on Qi Xianqing’s desk.

Little rabbits, little mice, little elephants… arranged neatly on the table, they looked very cute.

“…”

Yan Jue arrived at Qi Xianqing’s door and knocked: “Head Senior Sister.”

Qi Xianqing looked up and glanced at her: “Hmm.”

The air fell into a brief silence.

Yan Jue’s awkwardness quickly flared up, and she tried to make conversation: “What are you doing? Why are you weaving so many things?”

Qi Xianqing placed the newly woven piglet on the desk, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes lifting slightly. She slowly said, “These are for my little one.”

Yan Jue: “?”

Yan Jue’s heart thumped loudly. She felt she had to say something at this moment. Recalling how she almost exposed her identity a few days ago, Yan Jue dryly asked, “Little one? Do you have a child?”

Qi Xianqing: “…”

Yan Jue immediately got to the point: “Senior Sister, I accidentally discovered a place. I’d like to ask you to go and see it with me.”

Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing arrived at the cliff together.

A cool wind blew, making their hair dance wildly.

Below the cliff were bottomless clouds and mist.

Qi Xianqing was puzzled, not knowing Yan Jue’s intention, but she watched as Yan Jue grabbed the vines and slid straight down the rock face.

Absurd. This was the first word that came to Qi Xianqing’s mind.

Despite thinking this way, Qi Xianqing still followed behind Yan Jue and jumped down.

Yan Jue quickly stepped onto the protrusion, stabilized herself, and then slipped into the cave.

Qi Xianqing followed closely behind her.

The light inside the cave was dim.

Yan Jue had, in a sense, visited this cave several times through Bai Ying’s eyes.

She knew exactly where all the pits and hazards were in the cave.

No matter how powerful Qi Xianqing’s divine consciousness was, it could only detect living things.

Feeling Qi Xianqing’s footsteps following behind, Yan Jue instinctively grabbed Qi Xianqing’s sleeve, worried that she might fall.

Qi Xianqing was taken aback.

Yan Jue walked a few steps, then suddenly felt her whole body go numb.

The cold hand of the girl behind her slid down and hooked her fingers.

Yan Jue’s heart was pounding so fast it felt like it would jump out of her chest. She hesitated for a few seconds, then came to a conclusion.

Qi Xianqing must be afraid of the dark, which is why she grabbed her hand.

It must be this way. They were both girls, and Qi Xianqing was a complete straight-shooter.

Was there anything strange about this?

No.

After walking a few more steps, they reached an even narrower passage. Yan Jue suddenly remembered hitting her head when she came in this morning.

Yan Jue quickly turned around and placed her hand on the ceiling to cushion the spot.

In the darkness, Qi Xianqing couldn’t stop the corners of her lips from turning up. Although she didn’t know what was inside, seeing Yan Jue like this put her in a very good mood.

However, when she first entered the cave, she had already briefly explored it with her divine consciousness. The cave didn’t seem to have anything unusual.

Yan Jue soon led Qi Xianqing out of the narrow passage. What came into view was still the huge water curtain, and something behind the curtain was emitting a faint glow.

Yan Jue went behind the water curtain, turned to Qi Xianqing, and said, “I discovered this this morning.”

Qi Xianqing was slightly surprised.

Behind the water curtain lay a corpse a white haired, stooped man.

The man was clutching a pitch-black beast egg. The egg glowed in the darkness, and one could vaguely feel spiritual energy fluctuations when near it.

Yan Jue dragged the Bag of Holding out from the innermost part of the cave.

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly: “Is this a Treasure Cave?”

She knew that many great powers would find a hidden cave before their death in meditation.

This was to prevent their treasures from being easily found.

Such caves were known to cultivators as Treasure Caves. The three key elements of a Treasure Cave were often: the corpse of a great power, a pile of treasures, and an array.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, it wasn’t hard to guess this possibility. However, the smell of blood around them had been extraordinarily strong since they stepped into the cave, making Qi Xianqing suspect that this cave was not simple.

Yan Jue: “This cave has quite a few treasures. Let’s leave here first.”

Yan Jue put the black beast egg into her Qiankun Pouch, picked up the Bag of Holding, and left the cave with Qi Xianqing.

They left the cave and found that it was already approaching dusk.

Qi Xianqing arrived at Yan Jue’s dormitory.

Du Ming’s eyes widened when she saw Qi Xianqing: “Yan Jue, you…”

Qi Xianqing stood behind Yan Jue with her hands clasped behind her back, nodding slightly to Du Ming, exuding an air of nobility and authority.

Frightened, Du Ming immediately bowed and scraped to the supremely elegant Menghengjun: “Greetings, Head Senior Sister. Welcome to my humble abode.”

She secretly winked at Yan Jue, How did you manage to lure the Head Senior Sister over…?

Yan Jue gave an awkward laugh.

Originally, after leaving the cave, she intended to have Qi Xianqing go to the Shocking Fire Sect dormitory.

But Qi Xianqing insisted on seeing her dormitory. Yan Jue didn’t know what whim she was following.

This was Qi Xianqing’s first time visiting the place where Yan Jue lived.

The environment of the Water Cloud Sect had always been excellent; the entire peak was surrounded by streams.

The sun was setting, and the fiery red clouds cast a dreamy color over the sky.

Fields and paths crossed, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard.

A white fox was lazily basking in the sunset there. When it saw them coming, it immediately got up and ran away.

Bai Ying was still a little afraid of Qi Xianqing.

Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing entered the room. When Yan Jue closed the door, Du Ming, looking utterly shocked, followed behind: “Yan Jue, what are you trying to do to the Head Senior Sister?”

And closing the door inside the room…

Yan Jue: “We have very important matters to discuss.”

Du Ming: “What matters could you possibly have with the Head Senior Sister? Don’t kill her with a knife when no one is looking!”

Yan Jue: “…”

Yan Jue simply closed the door firmly.

Her room was small, with nowhere to sit except for the single chair in front of the desk. Yan Jue pulled out the chair, invited Qi Xianqing to sit on it, and then sat down on the bed herself.

Yan Jue placed the Bag of Holding on the desk and seriously asked, “Head Senior Sister, how do you unlock this array?”

The air was permeated with Yan Jue’s scent a very pleasant, milky aroma, like the clear smell of sunshine falling into the room on a morning without classes.

As Qi Xianqing smelled the surroundings, she couldn’t help but feel a little distracted.

She saw Yan Jue pushing the wooden box toward her and said, “You try to unlock it first.”

Yan Jue used two thumb sized, low grade spirit stones as the array breaking catalyst, striking them respectively against both ends of the treasure box.

The blue barrier on the treasure box suddenly flickered.

Qi Xianqing rested her chin on her hand and watched for a moment. She then picked up the spirit stone on the ground, struck the box once, and the box’s barrier was unlocked.

Yan Jue didn’t open it immediately but pushed the Bag of Holding toward Qi Xianqing: “Head Senior Sister, please take a look at the treasures inside?”

Qi Xianqing looked at Yan Jue for a while and suddenly understood Yan Jue’s meaning.

Perhaps through some coincidence, Yan Jue already knew about the things in that cave.

Yan Jue had deliberately brought her to that cave, taking this roundabout path, simply because she wanted to share the resources with her.

If Yan Jue remembered correctly, the Demon Lord’s Bag of Holding contained many excellent treasures.

Yan Jue felt a little uneasy when she said this, as she knew Qi Xianqing had always been dismissive of external resources.

As the Head Disciple of the Shocking Fire Sect, she never lacked resources; anything she wanted, Fairy Yun Zhen would provide.

Why would she even look at these resources?

Her own action felt truly too…

As she was letting her imagination run wild, Qi Xianqing sat upright in front of the treasure box and smiled, “Thank you.”

Qi Xianqing showed no sign of impatience but immediately reached into the Bag of Holding and pulled something out from within!
