Chapter 320: 37 Miss Shi Fights Back with Renewed Vigor!

“`

Qiu Changtian, along with Junior Sister Xu Yinglian and the unconscious burden Jian Qingnan, fought and retreated, withdrawing all the way from White Bone Divine Palace to return to the passage above.

Jiang Liyan and Wen Yang pursued them, closing in rapidly from behind, only to be repelled time and again by Qiu Changtian’s Divine Thunder or Xu Yinglian’s Bright Flame.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wei Dongliu followed silently behind, using the Hiltless Locust Wood Sword to control the Flying Asura, who reluctantly dragged its feet.

Sometimes, when Xu Yinglian’s Great Bright Fire went overboard and drove the two pursuers back, Wei Dongliu would send out the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu to force Xu Yinglian to stop her spells.

Then Qiu Changtian would take action to rescue her, driving the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu back.

After repeating this cycle three or four times, Qiu Changtian and his companions finally left the surface of Long Mountain and arrived back on the ground.

Just then, a streak of Sword Light appeared on the horizon—it was the Ziwei Master.

As Wei Dongliu and the others emerged from underground, they saw the Ziwei Master point a finger, and the Tai Yi Dividing Light Sword transformed into countless sword shadows, falling like rain from above.

“Go.” Wei Dongliu’s command rang out, and the Flying Asura turned into a black light, enveloping everyone before shooting off toward the east.

“You all head back to Kunlun first.” The Ziwei Master waved his horsetail whisk and then rode the Tai Yi Dividing Light Sword, flying off towards the eastern horizon.

Qiu Changtian: ………

It’s over, my master is coming to kill me, what should I do?

I never should have let Junior Sister Xu go to deliver the message! I’ve simply courted death.

“With Master intervening, those demonic cultivators are sure not to escape,” Xu Yinglian said, mistaking Qiu Changtian’s dismal expression as frustration for not being able to show his full might (since he had to protect the two Junior Sisters) and comforted him.

Thus, Qiu Changtian felt even worse.

“Let’s go,” he said with a forced smile.

Regardless, now that I know my master will make an appearance at the last moment, Wei Dongliu… or the future me, would have also anticipated this.

I must trust the future me to have the wisdom and means to resolve the difficulties!

The two controlled their swords and returned to the Kunlun Golden Ridge Cave Abode, where Qiu Changtian placed Jian Qingnan in her own dwelling.

“You stay here and watch over her. I’ll go find someone from the Duty Hall to come over,” he instructed Xu Yinglian.

“Alright.” Xu Yinglian nodded in agreement.

Qiu Changtian left Golden Ridge on his sword to find a Golden Core True Person responsible for healing at the Duty Hall to check on Jian Qingnan’s condition.

The check-up result was quite normal: it was just ordinary depletion of essence and qi, and some aged He Shou Wu would do the trick.

After sending off the Golden Core True Person, Qiu Changtian suddenly thought of something, looked at his waist, and then sighed deeply.

All the items that Junior Sister Xu took from the treasure room of the White Bone Divine Palace, along with her own Storage Bag’s contents, had been taken by Wei Dongliu.

After he took out the demonic path treasures, he threw the rest to Qiu Changtian without any consideration of how he would deal with them.

Qiu Changtian inspected the items closely; most of them were elixirs, spirit grasses, as well as some spare flying swords and magical treasures.

I definitely can’t just give these back to Junior Sister Xu! Otherwise, how would I explain where they came from?

But if I don’t return them to her, I can’t use them myself… It would be even worse if Junior Sister Xu accidentally saw them, than if I just returned them to her and couldn’t explain.

Uh, I’ve got it.

I can give them to Long Long for use!

While I’ve been impersonating Long Long, I’ve been mixing in the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm, so Junior Sister Xu will definitely not discover it.

Therefore, he called out to the Kunlun Mirror in his Sea of Consciousness:

“Ah Jing, time to load the file.”

“Load Wei Dongliu?” asked the Kunlun Mirror.

“No, let’s start with Luo Yan,” Qiu Changtian answered, “I need to think carefully about how the future me will deal with Master’s pursuit.”

“Alright then,” the Kunlun Mirror began to activate the spell.

Having arrived at Heavenly Craft Workshop, Luo Yan still, as usual, finished today’s formation homework, then went to find his master, Elder Shi Ding, to report on his progress.

But he discovered that Elder Shi Ding was not there, and only Shi Liuli was practicing in the courtyard…

Wait, Miss Shi actually cultivates?!

Luo Yan stood at the entrance of the courtyard, watching Shi Liuli practice her swordsmanship, her pretty little face filled with a serious expression.

Then he turned around and rubbed his eyes.

Yes, there must be some mistake somewhere.

Just as Luo Yan turned to leave, Shi Liuli caught sight of his figure and hastily rushed over to grab him:

“Junior Brother, Junior Brother! Hurry up and practice with me aaaaah!”

Luo Yan stood frozen on the spot, for a moment feeling an impulse to cry rivers of tears.

My Miss Shi has finally grown up, learning to cultivate on her own…

“Wait a minute, Senior Sister,” he suddenly turned around and asked curiously, “why have you suddenly become so diligent?”

Shi Liuli was also startled for a moment, then said with a somber look:

“Second Senior Sister… She betrayed Heavenly Craft Workshop, didn’t she?”

“Yes,” Luo Yan nodded and said.

As for Lei Caiyan’s so-called theory of “I was a traitor from the beginning, so there’s no such thing as betrayal,” because it was too ridiculous, he didn’t mention it here.

“I want to become stronger,” Shi Liuli said after a moment of silence, a rare seriousness on her face.

“I want to find Second Senior Sister and ask her why she betrayed us.”

“If her reasons don’t convince me, I will avenge Fourth Senior Brother on her behalf.”

Luo Yan: ……….

Well, although she seemed to still harbor some unrealistic hopes, at least she had grown in a way.

“So that’s how it is, I support you, Senior Sister,” he then revealed a falsely sincere smile, “What does Senior Sister want to practice? Daoist magic or swordsmanship?”

“Let’s practice swordsmanship first,” Shi Liuli hesitated for a moment, and said, “This sword of mine is called ‘Purple Extreme Han Yuan,’ and I obtained it from the secret realm within Kuocang Mountain.”

“The old gentleman in the secret realm said my Sword Control Technique was not yet adept, but seeing that my cultivation of the Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record highly synchronized with the Immortal Sword, he gave it to me as a gift.”

She should not have mentioned that; hearing it, Luo Yan could not help but feel a little envious.

I struggled to gather information, decipher the mechanisms of the secret realm, and after all the effort to break through the secret realm, all I got was some advice from the old gentleman.

Miss Shi was sent into the secret realm by me and came back not only with Magical Treasures but also an Immortal Sword and even the Art Calculation secret technique?

Who exactly is the one favored by fate? How about you go search for the Heaven-Mending Stone instead!

He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and his smile became warmer and more cordial:

“Alright then, since Senior Sister wants to practice the sword, I will naturally keep you company.”

After the Peach Blossom Sword shattered while fending off the Ghost Dragon attack at the bottom of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Cave, he asked his eldest senior brother, Linghu Chu, for a new Ninth Rank Earth System Flying Sword called ‘Liancheng.’

The grade rank was so-so, toughness and strength were fairly outstanding, but as for the Sword Dao techniques… given that it was merely Ninth Rank, it’s better left unsaid.

“Junior Brother,” Shi Liuli hesitated and said, “That sword was given to you by Eldest Senior Brother, it’s just Ninth Rank, isn’t it? My Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword is Tenth Rank, you would be too disadvantaged in a spar, wouldn’t you? How about I go find a Ninth Rank sword too…”

“No need,” Luo Yan said with a full-faced smile, “This Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword is what you, Senior Sister, need to get accustomed to using. As for other attribute Flying Swords, what difference does it make if you get the hang of them?”

“As for being at a disadvantage, that’s alright. I am after all the junior brother, with a Cultivation Realm lower than Senior Sister’s, and the disparity between us cannot be equalized just by balancing out Flying Sword grades. This time we should not worry about winning or losing. We should only focus on sparring to hone our swordsmanship and mutually promote our growth.”

With each sentence he spoke, his Falsehood persona Synchronization Value rose by a point, so much so that both the Kunlun Mirror and the Green Duckweed Sword couldn’t bear to watch, clicking their tongues.

“Okay then,” the innocently naive Miss Shi nodded her head, thinking she should not take advantage of her junior brother and decided to practice with him using eighty percent of her strength to make up for the disparity in Flying Sword grades.

An hour later, after losing twenty matches in a row, Shi Liuli had fallen into a state of questioning her life.
