Bai Ying glanced at it and said, "This is the registration area for the All-Star Competition. In half a month, the most important competition in the All-Star Kingdom will be held on Imperial Island."
You've been in seclusion for two months, so you probably don't know anything about the latest news, right?
Did Elder Yue tell you about Falling Star Island?
Yue Qingling nodded and said, "I understand. Principal Di plans to unite the islands through a competition."
Bai Ying nodded and said, "So, are you going to participate in the competition?"
Yue Qingling hesitated for a moment before replying, "I...I don't really want to participate. I'm thinking of continuing my secluded cultivation."
Bai Ying said irritably, "You're so pessimistic. Don't you want to have a match with the experts from the Star Kingdom?"
Furthermore, if the Star Kingdoms could unite, all the participating cultivators would have made a great contribution.
Yue Qingling spread her hands and laughed, "I'm not interested in this credit, Miss Bai. I want to go back and rest. It's really uncomfortable to be soaking in the sea all day. I miss my single bed."
He got up to leave, but Bai Ying stood in front of him and blocked his way.
She said anxiously, "Yue Qingling, what's the rush? Why are you so impatient with me now?"
Yue Qingling sighed softly, lowered her head and smiled as she replied, "I'm really not impatient. So... is there anything you want to say? How about we talk as we walk?"
He really didn't want to get into a physical altercation with Bai Ying in front of so many people.
He wasn't wearing the cloud mask. If he accidentally knocked it off, wouldn't the women who saw his face fall into lovesickness again?
"Talk as we walk? That's great, I'll go with you."
Bai Ying immediately turned her anger into a smile. She walked beside Yue Qingling, ignoring the greetings from the passing cultivators, and said enthusiastically, "Did Elder Yue tell you about having you become my disciple?"
Yue Qingling frowned and said with a wry smile, "Miss Bai, I know you want to talk about this, but... I don't really need Elder Di's guidance."
"Hey, I've noticed that you're such a stubborn person."
I'm just curious, how does your empress usually communicate with you?
Would you dare talk to her like that?
Bai Ying asked with a forced laugh, her anger turning into a mocking one.
Yue Qingling knew he was in the wrong, and the other party was clearly trying to help him, but he could only refuse helplessly, thus disappointing the other party's good intentions.
So he wasn't angry, and half-jokingly said, "She'll just say I'm inflexible anyway."
Did she hit you?
Bai Ying asked with even greater curiosity.
What is it like for such a beautiful little immortal in the dungeon?
Will I get whipped badly?
Yue Qingling sighed and said, "I didn't knock down many, but... I'm not going to talk about this with you anymore, I'm going back."
He recalled the misery in the dungeon, and his pretty face turned pale.
That was not a pleasant memory.
"Oh, go ahead and tell me, I'm really enjoying it."
Bai Ying kept asking him questions.
The two of them arrived outside Yue Qingling's courtyard, and Bai Ying was still pestering them relentlessly.
Yue Qingling really couldn't stand this clingy person.
He said helplessly, "Leng Feiran knows a kind of magic that allows her to control my primordial spirit, so... you understand?"
"Weren't you at the Heavenly Cultivation Realm back then? Why didn't you deal with her? Honestly, what are you afraid of?"
Bai Ying said nonchalantly, then suddenly asked with a teasing look, "You actually quite enjoy it, don't you?"
"Nonsense, who would enjoy that kind of process?"
Yue Qingling pushed open the door and retorted with slight impatience.
"Then why didn't you resist?"
Bai Ying followed closely behind.
Yue Qingling looked at the small courtyard she hadn't seen for two months and felt a sense of reunion after a long separation.
The yard was clean and there were no fallen leaves, so someone had obviously come and cleaned it.
He was in a good mood and casually asked, "My yard is quite clean."
"Is that so? This princess comes to sweep for you once every three days, humph, and someone still doesn't appreciate it."
Bai Ying rolled her eyes at him.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingling quickly expressed her gratitude, and said with a smile, "I, Yue Qingling, have never met any benefactors in my life, but you, Miss Bai, are one, truly."
"Who wants to be your benefactor? If you want to thank me, tell me the inside story, I'd like to hear it."
Bai Ying asked excitedly.
She kept imagining what Yue Qingling looked like in the dungeon.
She wished she were Leng Feiran.
"Oh my, you're such a curious child!"
Yue Qingling gave a wry smile and said casually, "There's no escaping it. Leng Feiran first controlled my primordial spirit. If I face her, my primordial spirit will be invaded."
Then, she tied my tendons together.
You know what the Azure Dragon Tendon is, right?
One of the Four Fiends, hey, isn't the Azure Dragon in the Southern Continent?
Have you ever seen this kind of ritual implement before?
Bai Ying's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing the name "Azure Dragon Tendon."
She did not answer Yue Qingling's question, but instead lowered her head and muttered to herself.
"You can play it like that?"
Why didn't I think of that?
Once the Azure Dragon Tendon is locked, wouldn't he be just an ordinary person?
"As expected of the Empress, she has so many tricks up her sleeve."
What are you muttering about?
Yue Qingling didn't hear clearly, so he asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, Azure Dragon Tendon, right?"
I've seen them; I have plenty at home.
Bai Ying quickly said.
"Do you have that many? Are there that many dragon tendons in the palace?"
Upon hearing this news, Yue Qingling was instantly unsettled.
There are so many of these ridiculous magical artifacts?
He'd better be careful not to let Bai Ying set her sights on him.
"The imperial palace is where cultivators are often executed, so there are more Azure Dragon Veins."
