"I've already had my fun, but it wouldn't be right to back down now that I've come this far!"
He maintained his contemptuous smile and uttered a whisper through clenched teeth.
“That’s true, how about… you pretend to faint first, at least give them a way out, and we’ll handle the rest,” Shi Dingyan suggested.
"Hmm." Shen Qian responded, and the next moment black mist enveloped his face, his eyes closed, and he fell backward as expected.
"Junior Brother's feigned fainting is quite convincing..."
Ling Xiao, who caught Shen Qian, smiled to himself at first, but then he was stunned. "Something's wrong. He seems to have really fainted... Hiss, Third Senior Brother, come and take a look. Something's not right with his physical condition!"
"Ninth Junior Brother!"
"Sink forward!"
In the last second before he completely lost consciousness, Shen Qian only heard the anxious shouts of Shi Dingyan, Huang Tao, and others before losing consciousness.
...
Consciousness seemed to have been drifting in nothingness for a long time.
Before I died, I dreamed of that man in white again.
Just like last time, the man in white stood with his hands behind his back at the bridgehead, gazing at the starry sky.
Shen Qian strode forward, but just as he was about to see the white-clad figure clearly, the dream suddenly shattered.
Shen Qian opened his eyes in a daze, pondering this dream that had appeared for the third time.
The scene was roughly the same as last time, but there were also some differences.
Last time, the man in white was just a silhouette standing there, yet he seemed full of vigor and had an aura that could sweep across the galaxy. But this time, for some reason, that aura seemed to have diminished considerably, and the man in white seemed to be pondering something.
To summarize the commonalities of these dreams, they all occurred when his consciousness was dormant, a state he didn't dream about during normal sleep.
Keeping this question in mind for the time being, Chen Qian decided to ask the expert Gao.
A familiar, light fragrance wafted into his nostrils, like sandalwood but even fresher. Looking around at the antique furnishings, Shen Qian knew where he was.
Having returned to Jingcheng, Shen Qian felt more at ease.
...Why does Third Senior Brother always send himself to Eighth Senior Sister?
It's also possible that it's because their floor hasn't been renovated yet?
Shen Qian sat up and found that his physical condition had improved a lot.
At that time, his body was filled with the aura of death in that valley. He couldn't suppress it after relaxing his mind, but now, after sensing it, the aura of death seemed to have disappeared.
However, Shen Qian was still somewhat weak. After all, he had really gone all out in that battle, and his vital energy had been almost completely drained.
Light footsteps sounded and then stopped at the door.
"Eighth Senior Sister?" Shen Qian called out tentatively.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, revealing a gentle and delicate face. Ji Ruoshui, dressed in a light blue robe, glanced cautiously at Shen Qian on the bed.
"Junior brother, are you awake?"
"Yes, Eighth Senior Sister, please come in."
Noticing that Ji Ruoshui seemed to be holding something, Shen Qian called out to her.
"I cut you a few peaches; eating them might help you recover your strength faster."
Ji Ruoshui bent down and placed the fruit plate on the bedside table. As she lowered her head, her loose robe suddenly outlined the most beautiful curves in the world.
It wasn't until Ji Ruoshui stood up again, biting her lip and hesitating to speak, that Shen Qian quickly and awkwardly looked away, inwardly cursing himself.
After breaking through to the initial stage of martial arts, the blood and qi in his body became even more vigorous, and waking up every morning was truly a torment for Chen Qian.
Just now, I really couldn't control my gaze.
Shen Qian picked up a piece of peach and put it in her mouth to chew, taking the opportunity to change the atmosphere, "Eighth Senior Sister, do you usually eat peaches?"
"Well, I don't like rice dishes... but hot pot is an exception."
Ji Ruoshui spoke first, then seemed to remember something and tilted her head slightly to add a sentence.
That rare, charmingly innocent demeanor almost stunned Shen Qian.
He avoided some of the gazes, somewhat speechless at his own lack of self-control. However, there was another reason: Ji Ruoshui's features and temperament were truly perfect, just like a painting.
Most normal men would probably find themselves glancing at it a few more times.
So Shen Qian felt much more at ease.
"Senior sister, do you also give peaches to the teacher and senior brothers to eat?"
The peach flesh still tasted a bit sour and astringent, but Shen Qian knew it was indeed a good thing. He had also benefited from the peaches when he broke through to the initial stage of martial arts last time, so he ate a lot and finished the whole plate of peach flesh in no time.
“They…” Ji Ruoshui’s ears turned slightly red as she thought of something, “They don’t really like eating peaches.”
Shen Qian didn't pay much attention, nodded slightly, and asked, "Eighth Senior Sister, how long have I been unconscious?"
“You were brought back by your third senior brother the day before yesterday,” Ji Ruoshui replied.
I was dizzy for two days?
The sinking was somewhat unexpected.
"What about Fifth Senior Brother?"
"Fifth Senior Brother did not return to Jingcheng." Ji Ruoshui shook her head.
Thinking about many things, Shen Qian couldn't sit still any longer. He rolled off the bed and asked, "Is the teacher here?"
"I don't know either." Seeing Shen Qian's somewhat surprised expression, Ji Ruoshui explained softly, "I rarely see my teacher."
Considering Ji Ruoshui's quiet personality, Shen Qian nodded in understanding. After looking around, Shen Qian asked, "Eighth Senior Sister, have you seen my clothes?"
At this moment, Chen Qian was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, which was obviously impolite to go to see the big boss Gao.
"Your clothes are all ruined, I... I prepared a new set for you, see if it fits..."
