The feeling of inferiority vanished in an instant. Mu Linghan naturally tucked the handkerchief into his waistband and looked at Qiyue with a faint smile in his eyes, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
She said, "Can my leg really be cured? That's wonderful, thank you."
"..." Qi Yue frowned slightly.
So fake—
But she still didn't say anything, assuming that Mu Linghan didn't believe her.
But little did she know, Mu Linghan was thinking something else entirely.
What do you mean by taking him as a follower? She's so generous, giving him spirit stones, magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, and pills so easily. Even a complete idiot like him could become successful, right? What does it have to do with his legs?
Could it be that she, like those other people, thinks his limp is unsightly?
Qiyue didn't say anything more, but gave Mu Linghan some fasting pills and spirit-restoring pills, and gave him some instructions before leaving.
"Since Mu Lingxiao won't take you seriously, you don't need to keep tolerating him. It's okay to teach those people a lesson."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, sister." Mu Linghan smiled beautifully.
At least she genuinely cared about him.
July's expression was complicated: "You call her Sister Chicken Feather? Didn't I tell you to call her Big Brother?"
She felt something was off.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it. In short, she hadn't felt that way when Xiao Jisu used to call her that.
Mu Linghan looked innocent: "No, I called her 'sister,' not 'chicken feather sister.'"
July nearly died of anger: "Didn't I tell you to call me 'Big Brother'?"
Mu Linghan's smile turned slightly cold: "But aren't you a woman?"
"What's wrong with a woman? Can't a woman be the boss?" Qiyue retorted unhappily, her face full of disapproval.
Mu Linghan's smile vanished, and he looked at her innocently, as docile as a puppy, his magnetic voice slightly hoarse: "I just want to call you 'sister,' is that really not allowed?"
But his eyes seemed to say, "Even if you refuse, I'll still call you."
Seeing this, Qiyue clenched her fists so tightly they cracked. She wanted to curse, but thinking that all the money had been spent and the little wolf cub seemed quite well-behaved, she held back and finally yelled, "Do whatever you want."
Then, he kicked the door open and disappeared.
Looking at the creaking door, Mu Linghan's lips curled up slightly, his handsome eyes filled with triumph.
Qiyue was different; once she left the Liuyun Sect, her resentment was greater than that of a ghost.
"Fuck you! Call me Sister Chicken Feather! Once I tame you, I'll make sure you don't kneel and call me Daddy, or I'll change my surname to yours!"
Muttering curses, Qi Yue turned a corner and went to the Xiaoyao Sect in her original form.
Unlike her sneaky encounter with Mu Linghan, when Qiyue arrived at the entrance, she simply said she was looking for Nalan Qing, and a young male disciple, looking shy, led her into the Xiaoyao Sect.
"This is Senior Sister Nalan's residence. She's inside, so I won't disturb you any longer," the male disciple said gently, his face flushed red.
Qiyue's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
The sweet voice reached the male disciple's ears, and his face instantly turned even redder. He stammered.
"No need to be so polite. May I ask, fellow Daoist, do you have a Daoist partner?"
"Yes," Qiyue said with a smile.
The male disciple's face turned pale instantly, and he left looking dejected.
As soon as the male disciple left, Qiyue looked at the closed door and asked in a clear voice, "Was the play good?"
As she spoke, Qiyue raised her hand and gently opened the door with a bang. Nalan Qing, who hadn't even had time to suppress her smile, appeared before her.
Seeing Nalan Qing's doting smile, Qi Yue bent her index finger and tapped her on the forehead without hesitation.
Nalan Qing winced in pain and reflexively covered her forehead. She glared at Qi Yue in a coquettish tone and pouted, "You're so heartless. How could you do this to such a beautiful woman like me?"
"Get lost." Qi Yue rolled her eyes at her.
Nalan Qing immediately stopped joking, closed the door, invited Qiyue to sit down, and poured her some spiritual tea: "Baijun Peak tea is soothing and relaxing."
Qiyue took a sip and shook her head: "It's not as effective as my Spirit Gathering Talisman."
Nalan Qing choked.
Qiyue released her divine sense, surveyed her surroundings, and raised her hand to set up a barrier that could isolate everything.
Nalan Qing instantly understood the seriousness of the situation, knelt down on one knee, and looked at him with utmost respect.
"Nalan is willing to serve as your master's saddle and horse. Please give your orders."
Qiyue was a little surprised. This girl was so carefree; she thought she didn't take her seriously at all, but she didn't expect...
Qiyue tapped the rim of the cup lightly with her index finger and said, "Get up."
"Yes." Nalan Qing stood up and stood respectfully in front of Qi Yue.
Qi Yue raised her eyelids slightly, looked at her, her face deep: "You should have already heard about the Spirit Gathering Array. Is there anything you want to ask?"
"No, Master doesn't speak of matters, so Nalan dares not ask further." Nalan Qing's expression remained unchanged.
Qiyue was very satisfied: "You are a smart person. Since you are willing to submit to me, I will naturally not let you down. Find a place where no one knows you, and I will set up an array for you. I hope you will live up to my expectations and your own."
Nalan Qing looked up in shock, staring at Qi Yue who didn't seem to be lying, her eyes trembling: "Master..."
"Aren't you going yet?" Qi Yue raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways.
"Yes!" Nalan Qing bit her lip and knelt on the ground: "Nalan will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up, your master is pressed for time." Qiyue waved her hand, no longer bothered by Nalan Qing calling her master.
She quite liked her smart, obedient younger brother.
However, people's hearts are treacherous and the world is cold and indifferent; things will always change. Even Dog Heaven cannot be trusted. She still needs to think of a way to control these underlings, in case she is betrayed one day.
Gu? Poison? Or elixir?
