Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Yin followed Ming Shu for a distance. However, it might be that he received some news or something, but he suddenly turned around and went to the place where they came from.
Why would a cultivation sect hold an evil caln captive in their own territory?
[It is safer to place them in their sight.] The Harmony System gave the standard answer.
Don’t think so.
Ming Shu sat on the big rock and started eating. This is to give the female protagonist supplies.
[...] As long as you are happy.
The next morning...
Lin Jin stopped cultivating and stretched his back. He looked at Ming Shu, who was sitting on the big rock. “Xuan Ji, did you sit here for one whole night again?”
Ming Shu said in a serious tone, “I am absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.”
Lin Jin: “...”
He would have believed her if he hadn’t seen the way she stalled out the night before.
“Let me get you something to eat.” Whether she did or not, she was still the boss.
“Okay.” Ming Shu immediately became gentler when talking about food.
Lin Jin couldn’t handle the change and rubbed his arms.
When Lin Jin finished making the food, the rest had emerged from their states of cultivation too and greeted Ming Shu before going down the mountain together.
They had to go to the practice grounds in the morning. Ming Shu only taught them how to increase their cultivation level, but didn’t teach them magic arts. They still had to go to practice to learn magic arts.
When everyone left, some people came out from the forest nearby. The leader was a middle-aged man that Ming Shu had never seen before. His face was a bit serious.
Yan Yin was wearing a silver mask and lazily stood to the side.
When they appeared, Ming Shu immediately felt someone use their spiritual power to scan the area around her. She was scanned in the process too.
After confirming that nothing was amiss, the people started moving forward.
“Who are you?” The middle-aged man opened his mouth.
Ming Shu glanced at him. Her reaction was different from the other disciples when they saw an elder of the sect. Ming Shu just smiled slightly and replied as per normal, “Xuan Ji.”
Xuan?
That place would not send someone here. It should just be a coincidence...
The people below the mountain were all outer sect disciples. Some of them would come up the mountain and practice their cultivation alone. It was normal for her to appear here.
The middle-aged man didn’t suspect her.
However, her attitude and surname caused the middle-aged man to think again.
An outer sect disciple managed to act like this when facing him...
He asked, “Gave you seen anything strange?”
Ming Shu understood. It seemed like Yun Yao didn’t tell them...
“Strange things... what is considered strange?”
It might be that Ming Shu was smiling very gently, but the middle-aged man’s serious face relaxed a little. “Something different from what you see everyday.”
“You all appeared.”
“...”
Is this little girl trying to pick on me?
“Besides us,” the middle-aged man said.
Yan Yin’s gaze fell on Ming Shu. His gaze was very light as though he was causally sizing her up.
Ming Shu moved her lips. “No.”
The middle-aged man stared at her for a few seconds and said, “The morning practice is starting soon. You should get down the mountain and stop staying here. Even if nothing happened these past few days, do not come up the mountain again.”
He finished speaking and ordered someone to relay the message that all the disciples were banned from entering the mountain.
“Senior Brother, let me send her down,” Yan Yin suddenly voiced out, “in case she runs around.”
“Junior Brother, are you trying to slack off again?” a person beside him replied almost instantaneously. It was obvious that Yan Yin did this kind of thing before.
Yan Yin didn’t reply. He agreed silently.
“Senior Brother, look at him. He always runs away when there is a problem.”
“Yan Yin, Junior Brother, this thing... is really important. You are part of the Yin Sect and will have to contribute your efforts.”
“It would be good enough if he didn’t ruin anything.”
The rest of the people started talking. They were very unhappy with Yan Yin.
The middle-aged man looked at him in disappointment and stopped the other people’s conversations. He waved his hand. “Go.”
Yan Yin strode toward Ming Shu. His mask couldn’t hide his lazy smile. “Come, little thing, let’s go.”
Ming Shu wanted to get some Hatred Points, but the group had already gone somewhere else and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
They were so fast she didn’t even have time to react.
You can afford to be willful when you cultivate immortality!
Ming Shu silently put away the items on the big rock and walked down the mountain.
The route downhill was very quiet. There were almost no sounds of birds at all.
“The blue-sea stone is with you, right?” Yan Yin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the forest.
“Do you want it, Master?”
This statement proved that the blue-sea stone was indeed in her hands.
He just asked casually. He didn’t know that it was really with her.
Yan Yin squinted. There was no change in his voice. “If I want it, will you give it to me?”
“If you want it...” Ming Shu dragged out her words. “I won’t give it to you.”
I will destroy everything you desire.
Do I sound cool?
Yan Yin suddenly moved and blocked Ming Shu. He made use of his height and looked down on Ming Shu. “Do you dislike me?”
Ming Shu tilted her head. “Don’t you hate me too?”
“Did I do something that made you misunderstood me?” Yan Yin was puzzled. “I helped you yesterday night, why would I hate you?”
“You should ask yourself that question.” Ming Shu reached out her hand and patted Yan Yin’s chest. “How about... I dig it out for you to see?”
Yan Yin felt an eerie chill.
It was like the hand had already pierced into his chest and grabbed his heart, ready to pull it out any moment.
He grabbed Ming Shu’s wrist and his eyes narrowed. There were some emotions in his eyes.
His lazy voice flowed over the top of the lake. “You are still young. You don’t have to be so cruel. You are cultivating immortality, not becoming a devil.”
“Why is this any of your business?”
“I am your elder. If you are so disrespectful, you might be punished.”
Elder?
Elder your head!
Ming Shu suddenly attacked Yan Yin’s throat.
Let’s give him a beating first.
Yan Yin was going easy on Ming Shu and didn’t use his full power. However, he realized that he needed to take this fight seriously.
He didn’t know where this little girl learned her skills from. Her attacks didn’t look powerful but were actually very fatal.
Shua—
Sharp leaves flew past Yan Yin’s face and a thin wound appeared on his chin.
A branch fell in front of him and went straight for his forehead.
“Ah—”
Yan Yin gasped.
He grabbed the branch and followed the white hand, his gaze finally landing on the girl standing opposite him.
He used his power and pulled the branch. Ming Shu’s body suddenly lunged forward. Yan Yin took the chance and caught her. grabbing her waist with one arm and pushing her into his chest.
Swoosh—
The wind suddenly started blowing.
He looked down on Ming Shu and said softly, “I can go easy on you, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t defeat you.”
A gentle breeze flowed through Ming Shu’s hair and her smile got bigger. “Really?”
Yan Yin’s expression worsened.
He grabbed Ming Shu even harder around her waist and said after a while, “You are ruthless.”
“Thank you.”
Ming Shu pushed him away and retreated to higher ground.
“Wait and see. You will be mine one day.”
Yan Yin disappeared in a flash.
There were a few drops of blood sinking into the ground.
Ming Shu was in a daze as she looked at the place where Yan Yin was just now.
After a long time, she released her grip and a knife covered with blood fell to the ground.
When she attacked with the knife, she never thought that she would succeed. He could have dodged the attack...
He just stood there and let me stab him... What is he trying to do?
Is he trying to lower my guard and then steal my snacks?
Don’t even think about it!
