The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 78

Yan Jue returned to her room feeling irritable, only to spot a brand new copy of “Five Dragons Almanac” placed at her door from a distance.

Yan Jue first suppressed her irritable emotions, picked up the newspaper from the ground, returned to her room, and closed the door.

Yan Jue put away the Cloud Void Umbrella, returned it to her Qiankun Pouch, and then spread out the newspaper to read carefully.

She first opened the first page.

The newspaper content mainly introduced the recent status of the competition.

The people of Kongqing Prefecture also discovered that many dark horses had emerged in this competition.

Especially the former waste material, Yan Jue, had actually survived to the fourth round, and tomorrow would be the fifth round. The further the competition progressed, the more likely it was that she would face Qi Xianqing.

The newspaper also informed Yan Jue of a piece of forgotten trivia:

The original Yan Jue, for the sake of the male protagonist, had repeatedly provoked Meng Hengjun, and once, in the bustling Five Dragons Square, she had challenged Meng Hengjun to a fight to the death, boasting that she would compete with Meng Hengjun at the Five Dragons Summit.

Yan Jue then flipped the newspaper to the second page, and this entire page was filled with gossip about Qi Xianqing.

In this competition, Meng Hengjun’s performance had been very stable.

Yun Jie, who was always on par with Meng Hengjun within the sect, was unlucky to be matched against Meng Hengjun in the second round, preventing him from continuing to participate in the competition after the second round.

It was originally thought that Yun Jie would at least get the second place this time, but now it seemed he couldn’t even get the third.

Judging from yesterday’s fourth round of the competition, Qi Xianqing’s unique sword technique of the Shocking Fire Sect, “One Thought Slash,” had reached a great mastery, and it might be invincible in the subsequent competitions.

Yan Jue stared at the newspaper, involuntarily furrowing her brow slightly.

The further the competition went, the harder it was to fight.

When facing Lin Xi today, she already felt the pressure significantly.

If she continued further, who would she be facing? Qi Xianqing…

She absolutely didn’t want to go up against a killing machine like Qi Xianqing, even if it killed her.

While Yan Jue was reading the newspaper, she suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings outside the window.

Yan Jue was slightly startled, only to see the transmission immortal crane of Five Dragons Mountain had landed by her window again, she didn’t know when.

In the bamboo basket around the crane’s neck, a short note was clearly placed.

Yan Jue hurriedly unfolded the short note. Sure enough, it was sent by Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing: Tomorrow at the hour of Si (9 am-11 am), Cold Pond.

Presumably, the news Yan Jue disclosed to Qi Xianqing yesterday had received a response.

Coincidentally, Yan Jue also had something she wanted to ask her.

Yan Jue sat back on the bed with anticipation.

Late at night.

Yan Jue faced her palm down and first injected a thread of True Qi into the egg beside the bed. Watching the cracks on the egg flicker, Yan Jue slowly began to analyze what the Demon Lord had just said.

Based on the conversation between the Demon Lord and Chu Fu, Qi Xianqing might also be their target.

But for now, she was safe.

If nothing unexpected happened tomorrow, the fifth round of the competition would be her against Chu Fu…

Chu Fu wanted her dead.

It seemed that the trouble from the original novel was not completely over for her.

She had to be fully prepared.

Yan Jue frowned slightly, and amidst the rapid turn of her thoughts, she already had a rough strategy to deal with it.

Yan Jue opened her Qiankun Pouch, rummaged inside for a while, and took out an ice blue round bead.

Yan Jue summoned the White Fox: “This is the ‘Lightning Avoidance Bead’ you spat out to me last time. What exactly is the use of this Lightning Avoidance Bead? Can it defend against most lightning?”

The ice blue bead lay in Yan Jue’s palm, emitting a faint cold light under the candlelight. This was what the White Fox spat out to her last time.

Bai Ying was called out unexpectedly and was still a little dizzy.

She stared at the bead and nodded: “We demons are most afraid of lightning. This bead can even defend against heavenly lightning. It was given to me by my clan’s elder.”

Yan Jue caressed the bead in her hand, put it back into her Qiankun Pouch, and nodded, “Very good.”

Yan Jue woke up very early the next day.

Thinking about the male protagonist and the Demon Lord, how could she sleep well?

Yan Jue put on her clothes, practiced a set of martial arts in the courtyard, and tied the sandbag filled with spiritual power to her legs.

Seeing that the time was about right, Yan Jue went to the Cold Pond.

It was morning, and the Cold Pond was shrouded in mist, filled with the fragrance of water vapor mixed with grass.

Before Yan Jue even got close, she saw a person standing by the Cold Pond.

Qi Xianqing was wearing a sea green pleated skirt, with a jade pendant tied around her waist. Her ink-black hair was pinned up with a hairpin, with the rest draped over her shoulders.

Hearing the footsteps, Qi Xianqing looked up and gazed at Yan Jue: “Junior Sister Yan has arrived.”

Yan Jue averted her eyes, feeling a bit awkward: “Senior Sister.”

Seeing her manner, Qi Xianqing couldn’t help but laugh. This person had spilled so much sorrow in the short note yesterday, why was she so timid upon meeting face to face?

Qi Xianqing took something out of her sleeve and shook it in the air.

Yan Jue was startled. What Qi Xianqing held was a light green brocade pouch.

This was a storage container, specifically for storing Spirit Stones. Otherwise, thousands of Spirit Stones would be difficult to transport.

Yan Jue was stunned: “Where did all these Spirit Stones come from?”

Qi Xianqing: “Bai Chuli overcharged you for the Spirit Stones. I made her return them.”

“Although the three Profound Beast Bloodline Pills are precious, they are far less valuable than three thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, so I asked her to return two thousand four hundred High Grade Spirit Stones.”

Yan Jue looked at Qi Xianqing, her lips involuntarily curving upwards. Her somewhat gloomy mood immediately disappeared.

She had already made a fortune in the gambling den the day before yesterday, and now Qi Xianqing had helped her reclaim another sum.

Qi Xianqing was her strongest backing in Five Dragons Mountain!

Just as Yan Jue was about to reach for the Qiankun Pouch, Qi Xianqing suddenly curved her lips and withdrew her hand: “How are you going to repay me for helping you with this?”

Yan Jue froze in place: “How to repay…”

She suddenly remembered what the White Fox told her about offering herself in return…

Yan Jue’s ears instantly flushed crimson. She looked at her listlessly: “These Spirit Stones, I’ll split them with you three-seventy?”

Qi Xianqing: “…”

Qi Xianqing smiled and directly tossed the brocade pouch full of Spirit Stones to her.

Yan Jue touched the soft texture of the brocade pouch, and her mood became comfortable again. She spoke to Qi Xianqing much more intimately: “Senior Sister, I have something I want to ask you.”

Qi Xianqing’s brow moved: “Hmm?”

During the Five Dragons Summit, she was too busy. There were times when Qi Xianqing didn’t even have time to go to the Ice Peach Paradise, and Yan Jue hadn’t asked Qi Xianqing for martial arts guidance for a long time either.

Yan Jue: “If I encounter a cultivator who uses Wind-element divine abilities on the competition stage, what should I do?”

Qi Xianqing was slightly taken aback, then mused: “With Wind element divine abilities, first, your movement speed will be hindered. You will be unable to move an inch in the gale.”

Qi Xianqing: “As for trying to blow you off the stage using the wind, that’s unlikely. No one below the Heart Movement realm can achieve that, so you don’t need to be overly nervous. You just need to secure your foundation.”

Yan Jue: “My speed will slow down significantly in the gale. Is there any way to solve this?”

Qi Xianqing: “It’s not insoluble. The Spiritual Resonance Art often proves very useful in such situations.”

That’s right.

Spiritual Resonance Art…

Yan Jue frowned in thought and hummed in agreement.

Qi Xianqing raised her eyelids and glanced at her: “Who are you competing against today?”

“The match list for the fifth round of the Five Dragons Summit should have been released earlier.”

Yan Jue: “Chu Fu.”

“…”

The surrounding air fell into a period of silence.

Qi Xianqing: “What a coincidence?”

Yan Jue looked miserable: “Yes… it’s quite a coincidence.”

Yan Jue looked at Qi Xianqing and suddenly asked: “Senior Sister, have you felt dizzy or lightheaded recently, or felt as if you were being manipulated by someone in the dark?”

Qi Xianqing’s brow moved: “I haven’t, why do you ask?”

Yan Jue replied with a heavy heart, “It’s nothing.”

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly.

In the afternoon, Yan Jue arrived at the Five Dragons Square and went straight to the match board.

Golden characters floated in the sky…

Yan Jue – Chu Fu.

These four characters were exceptionally clear.

Yan Jue frowned slightly.

As expected.

Before coming, Yan Jue was secretly praying that the Sect Leader wouldn’t have such great influence, but the novel’s setting was like this: within the sect, the most powerful person was the Sect Leader.

With the power of the Five Dragons Sect Leader, it was easy to change the match order.

The surroundings were very noisy.

Du Ming stood beside Yan Jue and also noticed her unusual expression: “What’s wrong? You wouldn’t still…”

She stopped halfway through her sentence. Last time, Yan Jue had severely beaten Chu Fu during Qi Xianqing’s class duel.

That scene was still vivid in her memory.

How could Yan Jue still harbor such feelings for Chu Fu?

Du Ming: “You were able to defeat him last time. You should be able to do it this time too.”

This time, Yan Jue was truly not confident.

Firstly, Chu Fu had taken a large amount of her pills a few days ago and had already broken through to the Fusion Realm.

Secondly, Chu Fu had the help of the Demon Lord.

Yan Jue looked at the names on the match board, her expression grave.

Retreating at the last minute was not her style. She was determined to contend with the Heavenly Dao!

She didn’t believe that the Demon Lord could directly kill her in a public match witnessed by all the major sects!

No. 5 Martial Arts Stage.

Yan Jue approached the Martial Arts Stage, her expression solemn as she glanced at the sky above.

The Heaven Evolution Array above the Martial Arts Stage had not yet activated, but it could vaguely be seen that the weather over the stage seemed heavier than elsewhere.

Duan Luxi was still wearing a blue green Daoist robe, holding a book.

She had been eliminated the day before yesterday, but her mentality was good. She looked at Yan Jue cheerfully: “Junior Sister Yan, are you confident about today’s match?”

That day at the Emerald Gambling Den, everyone bet that Yan Jue wouldn’t survive the first round, yet in the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth round.

If she could survive the fifth round… it meant she was extremely close to the final competition.

Duan Luxi looked at Yan Jue’s harmless little face, genuinely surprised.

Because no matter what, Yan Jue was just an outer disciple.

For an outer disciple to reach the fifth round, how diligent must she have been usually?

Duan Luxi truly couldn’t imagine.

Yan Jue gave her a wry smile, took the book, and registered the magic artifact she was about to use.

She would use whatever was handy.

She still chose the North Sea Profound Iron this time.

Yan Jue then asked Duan Luxi: “Senior Sister, this bead of mine is a defensive object and cannot be considered a magic artifact. Can I take it onto the Martial Arts Stage?”

Duan Luxi was slightly startled, her gaze falling on the ice blue bright bead on Yan Jue’s waist.

The bead was tied to the palace sash, hanging at her waist like a jade pendant.

Duan Luxi: “Does your bead have any special function?”

Yan Jue: “It’s for protection, it has no attacking effect.”

Duan Luxi: “Wait a moment, Junior Sister.”

She turned and ran towards the side, seemingly saying something to an Elder.

A white bearded Elder walked over, took the bead from Yan Jue’s waist to look at it, and mused: “You can bring it up, but it cannot be used as an attacking artifact, otherwise, the match result will be invalidated.”

Yan Jue breathed a sigh of relief: “Naturally.”

A sudden clamor arose from the crowd.

Chu Fu, wearing the Sky Cloud Sect outer disciple’s uniform jian-colored Daoist robe, with a long sword strapped to his back, slowly walked onto the Martial Arts Stage.
