As Qingyu looked at the scroll, her heart beat faster and faster, and her hands holding the ancient scroll began to tremble involuntarily.

"I originally intended to try it out on Ning'er, but who would have thought she would..."

Qingyu's cheeks flushed red as she recalled the awkward scene in Yun Sining's room.

She flipped through the ancient scrolls, and on one of the pages were a few small characters written on it.

The Secret of Water Diversion

At first, Qingyu was puzzled as to why this technique was called "Water-Drawing Technique," but after trying it a few times...

Hmm, the name does seem quite fitting.

"Although it's possible to cultivate alone, based on the information above, it seems that cultivating together with another person would be more effective..."

Thinking of this, Qingyu's expression suddenly stiffened.

"What...do I want to do with Ning'er?"

"How could I!!"

She suddenly stood up, panting heavily, her fists clenched tightly.

"If Master knew what I did to my junior sister, how disappointed he would be in me."

She covered her face with great shame.

"But... this cultivation manual, I... I can't bear to part with it..."

Ever since she obtained this ancient scroll and experienced the contents firsthand, Qingyu has fallen in love with that ecstatic feeling.

Moreover, after each training session, her own strength was indeed improving at a very rapid pace.

"This is definitely a heretical cultivation technique; this is the dual cultivation method of heretical cultivators!!"

Qingyu clenched her teeth tightly.

"That so-called Grand Preceptor Si Yiqi of the Great Long Kingdom must be no good either!!"

She raised her hand, intending to tear off the pages of the ancient scroll.

But when the palm is raised halfway, it slowly falls back down.

Her expression was incredibly conflicted; she didn't know whether she should tear it up or not.

Just then, the protective array outside Qingyu's cultivation room was activated, and someone had arrived.

"who!!"

Qingyu shuddered and instinctively hid the ancient scroll behind her back.

"Senior sister, it's me!"

From outside the door came Yun Si Ning's clear voice.

"Ning'er?"

Qingyu was taken aback, and her spiritual sense instantly reached out, discovering Yun Sining peeking in from the doorway.

"Senior sister, please let me in."

Yun Si Ning was somewhat puzzled.

In the past, when I came to my senior sister's place, she would let me in right away. Why is she taking so long today?

"Oh, oh, okay."

Qingyu quickly stuffed the ancient scroll into her storage bag and then deactivated the protective array outside the door.

Yun Si Ning pushed open the door and entered. As soon as she saw Qing Yu, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior sister, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?!"

She ran over and placed her hand on Qingyu's forehead.

Qingyu wanted to dodge, but paused for a moment, allowing Yun Sining to feel her body temperature.

"Hey, you don't have a fever."

"Besides, with your cultivation level, how could you possibly fall ill?"

Yun Si Ning looked at Qing Yu's flushed cheeks with a puzzled expression.

"Um...it's nothing, Ning'er. I was just a little distracted while cultivating."

Qingyu said casually.

"I see, senior sister, you are something else."

Yun Si Ning playfully poked her forehead.

"I told you not to overdo your cultivation. You need to learn to rest properly and balance work and rest, do you understand?"

"Hey, you brat, you're actually lecturing your senior sister now."

Qingyu said with a smile, reaching out her hands towards Yun Sining's armpits.

"Hey, senior sister, what are you doing~~"

"Hahaha~~ Senior sister, stop laughing~~~"

"Senior sister, hahaha~~ You have no martial ethics, hahaha~~"

Laughter and pleas for mercy filled the training room, and Qingyu gradually lost her earlier embarrassment.

After a lecture on "love," Yun Sining leaned against the wall, supporting her back, tears of laughter streaming down her face.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Qingyu wiped away Yun Sining's tears and smiled.

"Senior sister, you're so naughty!"

Yun Si Ning pointed at her and said angrily.

"Oh~ Well, who told me to be your senior sister?"

Qingyu stuck out her tongue.

"By the way, let's get down to business. Ning'er, what brings you here?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot."

Yun Si Ning slapped her forehead.

"I wanted to ask, Senior Sister, when did you go out to search for Senior Si Yiqi's tomb?"

When this matter was brought up, Qingyu's expression immediately became somewhat troubled.

“Ning’er…”

"What's wrong?"

Yun Si Ning noticed her unusual behavior.

"I... don't really want to look for that thing anymore."

"How can this be?!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Sining immediately became anxious.

"How could you not go?!"

"Um?"

Qingyu was taken aback, not expecting Yun Sining to react so strongly.

“Ning’er, you…”

At this moment, Yun Si Ning belatedly realized that her reaction had been a bit excessive, but she still grabbed Qing Yu's arms and asked anxiously.

"Senior sister, why don't you want to go anymore?"

"because……"

Qingyu hesitated for a long time, unsure whether she should tell her junior sister about this.

"Hey, senior sister, just say it."

Yun Si Ning was sweating profusely, "Don't be a riddle teller!"

"Alright... Actually, I didn't just get the three pages of the ancient scroll that I showed you."

"ah?"

"Besides those, there are also more than a dozen pages of ancient scrolls."

"It describes a set of cultivation methods, which was created by the senior Si Yiqi."
