Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 61

Especially the look in that man’s eyes just one glance was enough to know he had feelings for her junior sister. For some reason, Qin Yiqiu found herself feeling restless and unsettled.

To suppress this feeling, she simply ignored it and quickly approached the quarreling group.

“What are you doing?”

Qin Yiqiu’s voice was icy cold, causing everyone to look up. Those who had been watching the commotion, hoping the two would fight until blood was shed, and those who had been cowering silently, all fell quiet.

They stared silently at Qin Yiqiu. The man who had been struck covered his cheek, kneeling on the ground in a wretched state, and pointed at Yuan Dingshan.

“Senior Sister, he was the one who hit me first!”

“I only suspected that Luo Yunhuan used your Immortal Compass to help someone cheat, and without a word, he attacked me and even tried to cover my mouth…”

Hearing the words “Immortal Compass,” Qin Yiqiu immediately retrieved the compass from her storage ring.

This compass had been given to her by her master. It could precisely locate the positions of rare treasures and the whereabouts of people she was searching for.

It was indeed a valuable artifact.

But aside from these two functions, it had no other uses.

“What are you talking about? The compass has always been in my possession.”

Qin Yiqiu stepped closer, her gaze sweeping over the two who had been fighting. She knew very well. she knew that Yuan Dingshan hadn’t done anything wrong.

He was just a bit impulsive in his actions.

Yet, she couldn’t help but want to punish him because he had been subtly flirting with Luo Yunhuan.

Even though, even though her junior sister was already with her.

As Qin Yiqiu thought this, she suddenly realized that her mindset was no different from that of a demonic sect member.

She steadied her mind, holding the compass as she approached step by step.

“Sect Rule 151: Without solid evidence, one must not slander a fellow disciple. Violators will be confined to the underground prison for three months.”

Her ice-blue eyes were devoid of emotion, and her voice remained calm and unruffled.

“Sect Rule 125: Those who initiate physical fights with fellow disciples will be penalized with six months’ suspension of sect allowances, revocation of rights to participate in external expeditions, and disqualification from any competitions.”

These two rules, spoken by Qin Yiqiu, left no room for argument, perfectly matching the misconduct the two had committed.

“But. Senior Sister, I was speaking out for the sake of justice among fellow disciples!”

Yuan Dingshan seemed not to have expected Qin Yiqiu to punish him as well. He spoke anxiously, but the movement tugged at the wound on his lip, causing him to yelp in pain like a screeching monkey.

It truly matched the “Yuan” in his name.

“So what?”

Qin Yiqiu stood before Yuan Dingshan, exuding an aura cold enough to freeze a person to death. It seemed she was venting the bitterness in her heart.

“Breaking the rules is breaking the rules. At such a critical time, you still have the leisure to fight and suspect each other. Shouldn’t you be punished?”

Qin Yiqiu’s gaze seemed to pierce through to the deepest secrets of one’s heart, and the two men instantly fell silent.

“Senior Sister, Brother Yuan did it for me. Please don’t punish him.”

Luo Yunhuan couldn’t stand by and watch, stepping forward to speak. Although Yuan Dingshan was impulsive, he had, after all, stood up for her.

If I just turtled up and said nothing, the gossip about me in the sect would probably reach the heavens.

After all, someone had gone out on a limb for me, yet I was acting like a coward, unwilling to speak a single word of support in the face of the head senior sister’s anger.

I simply didn’t deserve such effort from others.

Qin Yiqiu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her junior sister to openly defy her for this man. After all, her junior sister had always been obedient and well-behaved.

She stared at Luo Yunhuan in disbelief.

It took her a long while to force out a sentence.

“Yunhuan, do you really think that way?”

“Are you defending the one who instigated the sect brawl?”

Sensing the tension between the two, the disciples who had initially lost interest in the drama gathered around again.

“But, Senior Sister, people can sometimes act out of anger. His intentions weren’t that bad.”

Luo Yunhuan felt a bit guilty. Truthfully, she just didn’t want to become the subject of gossip within the sect, and besides, Yuan Dingshan had genuinely acted with her interests in mind.

Their eyes met unintentionally in the air. Qin Yiqiu’s face remained expressionless, calm as a stone statue, but a faint smile curled at the corner of her lips not one of joy, but rather a cold one.

“Junior Sister is really protective of Junior Brother Yuan.”

“But wrong is wrong. I’ve only proposed a punishment; the final decision rests with the elders. Since two elders are present, why doesn’t Junior Brother Zhou take them over for instructions?”

With a glance from Qin Yiqiu, the members of the enforcement team behind her sprang into action. They aggressively seized the two and dragged them toward the elders’ quarters.

Luo Yunhuan wanted to follow, but her wrist was grabbed.

“Head Senior Sister?”

Luo Yunhuan was puzzled. Qin Yiqiu’s temper had always been steady. Though she was somewhat aloof, she wasn’t one to lose her temper without reason.

This time, pulling her aside must have a purpose.

“Come with me.”

Qin Yiqiu pressed her lips tightly together, forming a thin line, no longer able to suppress the turmoil inside.

She gripped Luo Yunhuan’s wrist, her fingers clenched so tightly that red marks appeared on the delicate skin.

Luo Yunhuan could only stumble along, feeling somewhat embarrassed under the gaze of the onlookers.

But the two soon slipped out of sight, arriving in a dense forest where only the chirping of birds could be heard. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, and the rustling trees evoked a sense of tranquility.

Of course, if only Luo Yunhuan’s stumbling footsteps could be ignored.

[Host, I sense the target’s anger level is skyrocketing. You’d better be careful.]

The system’s voice timidly reminded her.

Luo Yunhuan’s heart sank, but she had no idea how to resolve the situation. She could only continue following the head senior sister deeper into the forest. Finally, they stopped beneath an ancient towering tree.

“Do you like Yuan Dingshan?”

After a long silence, Qin Yiqiu chose to end her torment and asked directly.

Luo Yunhuan was frightened by her advancing demeanor, stumbling backward until her back pressed against the rough bark of a large tree.

The coarse, cracked bark dug painfully into her tender back.

“Head Senior Sister, why would you ask that? If I liked him, how could I have been with you that day in the Spirit Spring.”

Luo Yunhuan’s face grew increasingly flushed as she spoke. She had never experienced anything like this in her life and had no idea how to explain it, leaving her utterly flustered.

“But, junior sister, can’t you see? The look in his eyes when he looks at you is far from pure.”

Qin Yiqiu suddenly leaned in, her cool fingers brushing aside the stray strands of hair by Luo Yunhuan’s temple. Those alluring lips lightly grazed Luo Yunhuan’s nose and cheek, yet she ultimately restrained the rising desire.

“Yuan Dingshan only acts this way because he likes you.”

“If you don’t keep your distance from him, I’ll.”

I’ll go mad, I’ll be consumed by jealousy.

The final words stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken.
