Early the next morning, Bai Luochen and Ye Sisi arrived at the Ironwood Forest. After they had cut down enough ironwood, Ye Sisi said, "Let's go, Fifth Senior Brother, I can't wait!"
Bai Luochen summoned his flying sword and lightly leaped onto it. Ye Sisi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Fifth Senior Brother, are you sure you can control your sword?"
Although she seemed less afraid of heights after being trained by her devilish master, she still had serious doubts about Bai Luochen's driving skills.
Bai Luochen clutched his chest, looking hurt, and said, "Junior Sister, can't we have even a little bit of trust between us?"
Ye Sisi didn't speak, her beautiful big eyes just staring at him, full of accusation.
Bai Luochen felt inexplicably guilty. Back then, he had just established his foundation and couldn't control his flying sword well. Moreover, he had caused his devilish master to torment his junior sister so much. He truly felt ashamed.
So he assured her, "Junior Sister, I am not the same person I used to be. If any problems arise again, I am willing to give you all my possessions!"
Ye Sisi reluctantly nodded, then stepped onto her flying sword and asked, "Fifth Senior Brother, do you have a general store that sells everything?"
"Your question has stumped me. What do you mean by having everything?"
Ye Sisi took out a jade slip and handed it to him: "This is the place where you can find these things!"
Bai Luochen probed inside with his divine sense, and the flying sword, which had been flying steadily, suddenly plummeted straight down!
Ye Sisi cursed inwardly. She knew she couldn't trust her silly fifth senior brother's promises. He had been at the Foundation Establishment stage for several months, so how could he fall and hang down just by riding a sword?
Bai Luochen snapped out of his daze, grabbed Ye Sisi by the back of her collar and pulled her up forcefully, thus preventing another tragedy from happening.
When the two stood on the flying sword again, Bai Luochen quickly asked with concern, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Ye Sisi's expression was off. Her delicate little face was full of indifference, without any panic or fear, like a porcelain doll that had lost its vitality.
"No way, Junior Sister, you've been scared out of your wits like that? That shouldn't be the case. Didn't you endure Master's beatings? Your resilience shouldn't be this weak!"
Listening to Bai Luochen's rambling, Ye Sisi threw a punch at his face, really bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have said.
Whether it was because she was too fast or not, Bai Luochen didn't even have time to react before she was knocked off her flying sword by a single punch. Then she thought to herself, "It's over!"
Even a flying sword with a master can cause trouble, and now that it's uncontrolled, it's completely let loose!
Sure enough, the familiar feeling of weightlessness came the next moment, and she and her flying sword plummeted straight down. Damn it, this time there was no one to catch her.
At this moment, Ye Sisi truly understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot. If only she had known, she definitely wouldn't have acted, or if she had, she would have held back.
With two loud bangs, two large craters appeared in the ground. A boy in red and a girl in green climbed out of the craters, and their eyes met deeply through the layers of dust.
"Junior Sister, why are you so desperate!"
Bai Luochen expertly cleaned the dust off his body and tidied his messy hair, his movements fluid and practiced as if he had done it countless times before.
Hearing his gloating words, Ye Sisi felt that she was being unreasonable. Putting aside the fact that it was in the dangerous high sky, she, a mere Qi Refining cultivator who couldn't even fly on a sword, was no different from a tiger with its teeth pulled. Even if she were on the ground, she couldn't beat her silly fifth senior brother for the time being. Now, with this fall, she not only damaged the sect's public property but also got injured. She really lost out big time!
She popped a hemostatic pill into her mouth and said in a somewhat aggrieved voice, "Alright, Fifth Senior Brother, stop gloating. It seems like my leg is broken!"
Bai Luochen remained completely unfazed: "It's no big deal. After a few more breaks, it won't break so easily anymore. The more you toughen up your body, the more resilient it becomes!"
Ye Sisi...
Damn it, she must reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible. One day she will crush this mute fool into the ground!
Bai Luochen suddenly felt a cool breeze brush against his body, and his heart sank. He dared not be cheeky anymore and quickly said with a smile, "Junior Sister, don't be angry. I was just joking. Bear with it, I'll help you catch up right away!"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the spot where Ye Sisi's bone was broken. "It's not a big problem!"
Ye Sisi saw him pull first, and then with a snap, the dislocated bone returned to its original position. Although he was quick, it really hurt like hell.
Before she could feel the pain for long, a cool and gentle energy entered her body. Ye Sisi asked in surprise, "Fifth Senior Brother, when did you learn healing magic?"
Bai Luochen proudly declared, "This is a new divine power I've just mastered!"
Ye Sisi suddenly realized that this seemingly simple-minded fifth senior brother was not so simple after all. She didn't know how rare innate magical abilities were before, but after a month of learning, she knew that only one in ten thousand cultivators could comprehend one innate magical ability, and Bai Luochen had comprehended two while he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Unlike techniques and sword skills, which can be acquired through practice, innate supernatural abilities rely entirely on comprehension and opportunity. Some cultivators, even those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, may not be able to comprehend an innate supernatural ability, just like her master.
Bringing her thoughts back, Ye Sisi said expressionlessly, "Fifth Senior Brother, do you still stand by what you just said?"
Bai Luochen paused in his healing spell, feigning ignorance, and asked, "What?"
Ye Sisi asked with a half-smile, "What do you think, Fifth Senior Brother?"
"Junior Sister, don't interrupt, your injuries are serious!"
"Fifth Senior Brother, do you think Master would be very pleased if I told him that you've been working exceptionally hard lately and are determined to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage within two months?"
Bai Luochen was shocked and asked incredulously, "Junior Sister, what grudge do you have against me that you would do this to me?"
Ye Sisi didn't say anything, but simply stretched her hand out in front of him.
Bai Luochen reluctantly removed the spatial ring from his finger, then turned his face away and continued treating his heartless junior sister.
Ye Sisi was satisfied. It's all about hurting each other, like everyone knows how to do it.
Her injuries healed quickly under Bai Luochen's treatment. It was a pity about her clothes, which Su Mianmian had made by hand. They were ruined after only one day of wearing them. In the cultivation world, one still had to wear magic robes, otherwise they would be too fragile.
"Should we deal with these two pits?"
Bai Luochen wasn't in high spirits, but he still skillfully made a hand seal, and the two large pits were instantly filled in. Judging from his familiar movements, you could tell that he had used this earth-leveling technique many times.
Ye Sisi curiously stepped on it; it was solid, with no corners cut. The cultivation world was indeed amazing.
