Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 19

Engaged in a fierce internal battle with her system, Luo Yunhuan remained unaware that a figure had quietly landed outside the courtyard gate.

As Qin Yiqiu pushed open the courtyard gate, she saw the woman standing beneath the tree. Today, the other was wearing an exceptionally beautiful long dress.

The pale blue color was one commonly worn by most outer sect disciples, yet this dress was different every detail exuded refinement.

It must have cost a great deal of spirit stones.

Was it all just to go flower-viewing with her?

Qin Yiqiu’s thoughts churned restlessly, but her expression revealed little. She didn’t know how to face Luo Yunhuan, but she knew that avoiding her might give others an opportunity to bully her.

After all, those under her command were all too adept at reading intentions.

“Junior Sister, my apologies for keeping you waiting.”

Qin Yiqiu’s voice rang out, clear and gentle, sending a shiver of delight through Luo Yunhuan’s ears.

In contrast to Luo Yunhuan’s elaborate attire, Qin Yiqiu still wore the robes of a direct disciple. However, as the sect leader’s personal disciple, even her clothing was far more luxurious than that of others.

So she had no need for deliberate embellishment.

Out of courtesy, Qin Yiqiu’s ice-blue eyes briefly swept over the woman before her. Perhaps out of guilt, she dared not look too long.

“Junior Sister, you’ve dressed up so beautifully today. Should I change as well?”

Qin Yiqiu usually wore sect attire and rarely donned her personal clothing.

Luo Yunhuan shook her head.

“There’s no need. I’m just happy to have Senior Sister accompany me.”

After a moment’s thought, Qin Yiqiu reached out and patted Luo Yunhuan’s slightly fluffy head. The gesture felt like ruffling an adorable kitten.

“Since you’ve dressed so finely, I can’t just wear my everyday clothes. When meeting someone, one ought to put in effort otherwise, it would be disrespectful.”

“Wait for me a moment.”

With that, Qin Yiqiu strode gracefully into her room. Even from a distance, one could tell her etiquette was impeccable every step seemed to sway with elegance.

Inside, she rummaged through her storage pouch, which was specifically for clothing. After some deliberation, she selected a simple white outfit.

Though white, it was embroidered with golden threads depicting a mystical bird, its long, trailing feathers reminiscent of a phoenix.

This attire would suffice.

Qin Yiqiu began to change, removing her jade hairpin and replacing it with a golden crown that held her long ponytail in place. She rarely styled herself this way.

So today, she had put in extra care.

With her hair tied up, her features appeared even more striking, especially her ice-blue eyes, which seemed almost mesmerizing.

As Qin Yiqiu pushed the door open and stepped out, Luo Yunhuan heard the movement and looked up. In that instant, her heart felt as though it had been struck. There was no denying it Senior Sister was truly breathtaking, and the change of clothes gave her an entirely different aura.

“Let’s go.”

For a brief moment, Qin Yiqiu pushed aside the memory of her punishment kneeling in the ancestral hall. Today, she refused to dwell on tangled thoughts, burying her chaotic emotions deep within.

The two slowly descended the main peak, and before long, they arrived at the plaza. It had already been adorned with numerous flowers and plants.

But the most important of all was that peony spirit.

It was planted in a golden basin, how big was this basin? It occupied more than half the area of the square.

What met the eye were peonies in full bloom, exceptionally vibrant and beautiful. Most of the flowers were pink, as they all came from the same plant.

Peonies have no fragrance, but their stunning colors attracted many small butterflies, which fluttered around the fragrant flowers nearby and occasionally landed on the pink petals of the peonies.

How beautiful! Truly worthy of a major sect.

Luo Yunhuan sighed inwardly. Having transmigrated into this book for so long, she had finally witnessed the beauty of the cultivation world, rather than living a bitter life solely focused on cultivation.

The appearance of the two caused a stir, though it wasn’t because of Luo Yunhuan but because of Qin Yiqiu. She was like a walking beacon of light, attracting others like moths to a flame wherever she went.

“Senior Sister’s attire is a bit different today.”

“Yes, she looks so dashing almost surpassing Senior Brother Su Jue.”

“If Senior Sister were a man, probably all the female cultivators in our sect would fall for her.”

Luo Yunhuan listened to these straightforward remarks and twitched her brow slightly.

Comments like “If only you were a man” were enough to make her blood boil. Whether someone is a man or not shouldn’t affect who you like.

However, Luo Yunhuan had no intention of starting an argument.

The most important thing today was to stroll around with her senior sister; she couldn’t let these people ruin it.

Luo Yunhuan reached out, not daring to hold the senior sister’s hand, but merely pinched the edge of her sleeve. Yet, how could such a subtle movement escape Qin Yiqiu’s notice?

Just as everyone thought the senior sister would distance herself from the shameless girl, she did nothing of the sort.

She simply walked forward silently, her gaze sweeping over the largest peony flower bed.

The flower bed was filled with countless spiritual lights, sparkling with faint glimmers. It was said that tossing a spirit stone into the flower bed might earn the blessing of the ten-thousand-year flower spirit.

Though no one knew where the rumor originated, since the flower was personally planted by the founding ancestor of the Cloud Sword Mountain Sect, countless disciples were willing to believe it.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes widened.

They either whispered to each other or communicated through divine sense, filling the entire square with the buzz of gossip.

Qin Yiqiu could naturally hear it, but she paid no mind it was just idle chatter. Yet deep down, she knew there was some truth to it.

Today was her way of making amends for her previous inappropriate actions toward Luo Yunhuan, so there was no need to concern herself with the stares, gazes, or words of others.

Qin Yiqiu extended her right hand. It was very pale, perhaps due to her ice spiritual root, and had the cool, smooth feel of jade.

“Yunhuan, would you like to make a wish?”

Qin Yiqiu held Luo Yunhuan’s hand with her right hand and opened her left palm, revealing a top-grade spirit stone.

Luo Yunhuan nodded.

“I want to make a wish, but using your spirit stone feels too extravagant, Senior Sister.”

Luo Yunhuan’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. How could she, the pursuer, spend the money of the one she was pursuing during their outing? It was utterly improper.

“It’s fine. After all, I did something so excessive to you.”

Luo Yunhuan took the spirit stone from the senior sister. Gazing at the vibrant peonies, she closed her eyes. As she tossed the spirit stone, it traced a blue arc through the air.

[“Lady Flower Spirit, please bless me with a successful conquest.”]

The fact that the senior sect sister had brought someone to the Flower Viewing Festival for the first time and that person was actually a woman instantly became explosive news within the sect, spreading like wildfire.

Shen Anshou, who had been admiring chrysanthemums on another mountain peak, turned pale upon hearing this.

“Yi Qiu never liked to join in the fun before, what’s going on this time!”

Could it be that the woman was some kind of fox spirit?

No, absolutely not! Whether it’s a man or a woman, no one is going to make a cuckold out of me!
