Xia Wanqing vigorously rubbed every inch of her skin, seemingly oblivious to the pain, her eyes bloodshot as she murmured Qiyue's name.
Each sound was like a vengeful ghost demanding a life.
"July! July! July! Why do you always have to pick on me? Why can't you just die peacefully? Why, why!!!"
She really couldn't believe that this bitch was so bold. Knowing that the sect was hunting her down, she actually dared to come to the sect's headquarters!
Who is Xia Wanqing? She was born a proud daughter of heaven. Her father is the leader of a sect, which is the head of the five sects. She has countless admirers. Even the arrogant Holy Son of the Holy Sect fell at her feet. Everything in this world should be trampled under her feet!
But why? Why is this bitch an exception? Whenever she encounters this bitch, she can't have a peaceful time.
Xia Wanqing grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling an inexplicable fire burning in her heart. She could no longer bear it and slapped the pool water, causing water to splash everywhere. Her face contorted in the water.
"July! You must die!"
The Four Great Sects of the Southern Secret Realm.
Those who went out to investigate from various sects have all returned to their sects, bringing back shocking news.
"It seems the people from Hengyang Sect have eaten something bad."
"Thank goodness, it wasn't an attack by evil cultivators."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions became even stranger.
It's hard to imagine that everyone from top to bottom got sick from eating the same thing, especially cultivators! They still believe that the Hengyang Sect offended some mysterious person and was forced to take some kind of elixir.
After all, they had all heard Xia Wuxin's screams.
I don't know who this mysterious person is. It seems I need to find out what that old scoundrel Xia Wuxin has to say. We can't just rely on the Holy Sect to show off our power, can we?
And so, over the course of one night, the news spread more and more outrageous.
"Have you heard? It wasn't an attack by evil cultivators, it was just that the people from the Hengyang Sect got food poisoning."
"No, no, my second aunt's sister-in-law's son is an outer disciple of the Liuyun Sect. He said that the Hengyang Sect offended a reclusive alchemy master, and the entire sect was forced to take some kind of mysterious pill!"
"What?! I heard it clearly outside last night, the Hengyang Sect was definitely fighting with someone!"
"No, no, my mother's sister's second aunt's nephew's son witnessed it with his own eyes last night. The Hengyang Sect offended some mysterious person, and the entire sect was forced to eat shit!"
"Hiss! What kind of cultivation level is that? Terrifying, terrifying!"
Upstairs, Qiyue listened casually to the cultivators' outrageous gossip. She patted the chair next to her and smiled warmly at Nalan Qing, who had rushed over in a hurry: "Oh, beautiful sister is here? Please have a seat."
Nalan Qing dared not be disrespectful and sat down somewhat awkwardly. After the competition ended yesterday, she immediately came to the inn to find Qiyue, wanting to show her determination.
Unexpectedly, she ran into the Hengyang Sect chasing after them. She followed them, thinking she could help, but after catching up, she realized they didn't need her help at all.
She then lost track of the group, just like the people from the Hengyang Sect.
Helpless, she had no choice but to return to her sect. However, she had only been back at the sect for a short time when she heard the news that Hengyang Sect had been attacked by evil cultivators.
At that time, she guessed that it was related to Qiyue, but she couldn't be sure. She just offered her suggestions to the sect.
It wasn't until she witnessed the devastation of the Hengyang Sect with the people sent by the elders to investigate, and then went to the inn to find her, that she was certain it really was Qiyue.
“I know that the mysterious person they were talking about is you.” Looking at Qiyue, Nalan Qing mustered up her courage and said it.
Qiyue looked at her, her smile growing brighter and brighter, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes: "Oh~ um, it's me, you're so smart."
Nalan Qing's heart trembled. Although Qi Yue didn't speak again, she knew what Qi Yue wanted to say next. She had no doubt that if she misspoke even one word, this seemingly innocent and lovely woman in front of her would make her bleed to death on the spot.
Biting her lip, she stood up and knelt down in front of Qiyue.
“I have no intention of threatening you, nor can I threaten you. I am only here to tell you that I am willing to be a knife in your hand, as long as you let me live, let me live with dignity, and not have to be a puppet anymore.”
Qi Yue smiled sweetly and helped Nalan Qing up: "What are you doing? If my senior brothers and sisters come back, they'll think I'm some kind of heinous villain."
Her tone was somewhat coquettish, and she had a charmingly naive look on her face, but only Nalan Qing knew that wasn't the case.
Nalan Qing sat down obediently, and Qiyue took out a classic book.
"Don't worry, I don't need you to be my puppet. All I need is a friend, someone who can understand me, sympathize with me, and always stand by me—my most loyal friend."
As she spoke, Qiyue placed the book in Nalan Qing's hands, gently supporting Nalan Qing's trembling body with her small hand, stroking her somewhat frightened face, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, smoothing it, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, her face full of tenderness.
"Don't be afraid, you will never have to be my puppet. I won't force you to do things you don't want to do."
Her expression was extremely serious, and she placed the book in Nalan Qing's hands and then immediately separated them.
"Although this is only a rubbing, only a quarter of it, it is the most suitable for you. Believe me, in less than half a year, you will definitely surpass Li Ze and become the number one in the Xiaoyao Sect. At that time, if you do not disappoint me, I will naturally give you the next part."
"I think you've already witnessed the power of this elixir, and these talismans—I know you lack the ability to protect yourself, so use these for survival for now. Although these talismans are somewhat underhanded, when combined with your own offensive talismans, as long as you can win, why care about the means?"
With a wave of her hand, Qiyue produced a box in front of Nalan Qing. Inside were pills that Qiyue had refined herself, as well as all the talismans that Nalan Qing could draw but not have.
Nalan Qing's eyes flickered as she stroked the book in her hand as if it were a precious treasure. Looking at Qi Yue, she asked uncertainly, "This is a ninth-grade spirit-level Taiji Nine Talisman Cloud Scroll. Are you really going to give it to me?"
"Don't want it?" Qiyue raised an eyebrow.
Nalan Qing was moved to tears: "Waaaaah, I want it, I want it."
He held his precious child in his arms. It was a ninth-grade spirit level creature, something even the Xiaoyao Sect didn't have.
Most importantly, this Taiji Nine Talisman Cloud Talisman was created by a great master of the ancient Xunhui Sect. It contains eighty-one kinds of talismans and a unique cultivation method. It can not only greatly improve the success rate of drawing talismans, but also bring spiritual power and mental power to their maximum. Even if there is a backlash, it will not harm the cultivator's consciousness.
But it disappeared a long time ago.
Only rumors remain.
I thought it was just a similar name, but I never expected that the master was actually a member of the Xunhui Sect.
Looking at Qiyue's gentle features, Nalan Qing's pretty face flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with determination, and her voice was sweet and pleasant.
"Master, I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations!"
"Cough cough cough cough!!"
Qi Yue was so startled by Nalan Qing's sweet voice that she choked on her own saliva and coughed several times. She didn't dare to look at Nalan Qing at all and turned her face away with her ears turning red.
"Um, you don't have to call me that."
