As the fireball was knocked down, the person who had been chasing it rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, only to scream and spring up into the air again in the next instant.
"It hurts so much!"
Liu Yunqing glanced at the other person's charred clothes and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"How about I take a look for you?"
Upon hearing this, the person who had just been screaming at the top of their lungs instantly looked as if fate had grabbed them by the throat, staring at Liu Yunqing with a terrified expression.
After getting a clear look at her figure and appearance, the man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said:
"Oh, it's a little girl."
"Didn't your parents tell you that you can't just look at a man's butt?"
After saying that, he popped a pill into his mouth and chewed it with a crunching sound, like a candy bean.
But after only a couple of chews, his expression turned sour, and he turned away, looking quite dejected:
"Yeah, how come a little girl can be so fiery? Did you grow up eating fire?"
"Why is your fire different from everyone else's? Not only do several of them come at once, chasing after people, but you also can't put it out."
"The most absurd thing is, he didn't look that strong, yet he managed to catch up with me?"
Do you know what I'm best at?
"..."
The man looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but he talked as much as an old man or woman in their seventies or eighties.
Liu Yunqing had been thinking that since she hadn't accidentally burned the person, she was going to say a few words of concern and see if they needed any medicine.
After finishing in two quick moves, she could go back to cultivate.
But the man was so talkative that she couldn't get a word in edgewise.
After a couple more times, Liu Yunqing gave up on speaking and simply let him chatter on and on, then turned and went back to the cave.
As Feng Piaopiao continued to dissolve the medicinal pills to heal his injuries, he finally stopped and realized that it was too quiet behind him, as if no one was there.
Looking back, well, there was indeed no one there.
If it weren't for the various signs of burning and trampling on the ground around them, Feng Piaopiao would have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Looking around and seeing no one else, Feng Piaopiao quickly took out her clothes and changed. Then, she searched the surroundings with incredible speed and found the cave where Liu Yunqing was staying.
"Hey, fellow Daoist inside, activate your formation! Why are you sneaking off and ignoring us!"
Feng Piaopiao thought Liu Yunqing was deliberately ignoring her, so she pounded the array so loudly that it shook the heavens. But the array opened the next instant, and she almost fell in headfirst.
Once he had steadied himself, he glanced around the cave and shook his head with a look of disdain.
"Judging from your overall demeanor, you don't seem like a rogue cultivator or one of those beggar sword cultivators. How come you live in such a shabby place?"
Liu Yunqing had already discovered Feng Piaopiao's talkative nature and knew he couldn't go along with what he was saying. After politely bowing to him, he directly pushed a bottle of pills towards him, saying:
"It was my fault for accidentally injuring you, fellow Daoist. This is a bottle of healing pills. Please forgive me."
Seeing that Liu Yunqing had finally spoken, Feng Piaopiao didn't even glance at the pills. She immediately moved a chair in front of Liu Yunqing, craned her neck, and said:
What are you looking at?
Liu Yunqing flicked her wrist, putting away the book and handing the medicine bottle forward, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, please accept this bottle of pills and leave."
"Why?" Feng Piaopiao asked, puzzled.
Liu Yunqing was even more confused, and asked sincerely in return:
"Don't you need to cultivate?"
One sentence once again choked Feng Piaopiao's fate.
But he still didn't leave.
He just sat there in the chair, glancing at Liu Yunqing intermittently.
Liu Yunqing said she wanted to cultivate, but the wind wouldn't leave, so she couldn't possibly cultivate in human form, could she?
In the end, the talkative silence defeated Liu Yunqing's indifference.
She spoke helplessly:
"Fellow Daoist, what is it you need? I'm really busy!"
Feng Piaopiao waved her hand shyly, and surprisingly said with unusual embarrassment:
"No, it's nothing. I've just been seeing you cultivate these past few days and I'm very encouraged. I'd like to make friends with you."
After saying this, which even she herself didn't believe, Feng Piaopiao quickly changed the subject, stood up, and bowed to Liu Yunqing, saying:
"Shangqing Sect, drifting away in the wind."
Liu Yunqing hesitated for a moment, then finally returned the greeting:
"A rogue cultivator, Liu Zhenru."
Upon hearing Liu Yunqing say that he was a rogue cultivator, Feng Piaopiao's eyes widened in surprise, and she blurted out:
"Huh? That can't be!"
Realizing her words were inappropriate, Feng Piaopiao quickly added:
"What I mean is that your ethereal demeanor is unmatched by many disciples of various sects."
Ethereal beauty and grace? Are you talking about her?
Liu Yunqing looked down at her own pink and childish outfit.
This is a sign of care from the beautiful master, or perhaps it's just a wicked sense of humor, but whatever the reason, the blind girl Feng Piaopiao's master should find it very pleasing.
But she doesn't like it!
She dislikes anyone who interferes with her cultivation!
"Fellow Daoist Feng, now that we've met, may I begin my cultivation?"
Liu Yunqing put on a brave face, trying her best to appear polite, but her attitude was very firm.
Even with her thick skin, Feng Piaopiao couldn't stay away any longer and had no choice but to keep looking back as she walked towards the cave entrance.
Liu Yunqing was afraid that he would turn back halfway, so she stared intently at Feng Piaopiao to make sure that she would activate the formation the moment he left the cave.
And it seems we can't stay here any longer.
Liu Yunqing had a good plan. With her light footsteps, she finally reached the entrance of the cave, and her hands, which were controlling the array plate, began to secretly form hand seals.
The next instant, Feng Piaopiao turned her head with sparkling eyes and looked at Liu Yunqing, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I have a suggestion regarding improving combat strength. Would you like to hear it?"
...
After a cup of tea, Feng Piaopiao finished his impassioned speech, took a sip of tea, and asked Liu Yunqing:
"What does Fellow Daoist Liu think?"
"Then let's set off."
After saying this as a matter of course, Liu Yunqing got up and walked towards the cave entrance.
"Pfft—ah?" Feng Piaopiao was taken aback by Liu Yunqing's decisive and swift action before she could even swallow her mouthful of spiritual tea.
"Wait, is there really no need to be in such a hurry?"
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Feng Piaopiao packed up her chair and tea set, then reluctantly got up and followed behind.
However, he was secretly delighted, as if he had grasped the key to easily controlling this Fellow Daoist Liu.
Feng Piaopiao's suggestion to improve combat power was actually to team up with another person to kill monsters and use life-or-death combat to train and improve combat power.
Liu Yunqing originally wanted to refuse, but Feng Piaopiao said in a serious tone:
“Cultivating the Tao is not about being a lone wolf; one needs Dharma, companions, resources, and a suitable environment—all are indispensable. Fellow Daoist Liu, how can you know the difference between others if you always work in isolation like this?”
"If you don't know how others are doing, how can you know how you are doing? If you don't know how you are doing, will you still be able to see the direction of your efforts clearly in the future?"
To compete with others.
Let's see who's better than Liu Yunzhao!
These words struck at Liu Yunqing's current sore spot, and before Feng Piaopiao could continue babbling, she readily agreed.
This place is not a particularly precious place. Liu Yunqing is only staying here temporarily because he wants some peace and quiet when he has no power.
Now that there's a better plan, I can leave cleanly and decisively, without any regrets.
After the two stepped onto their respective flying artifacts, Liu Yunqing felt that teammates still needed to get along, so he took the initiative to approach Feng Piaopiao's flying artifact and started a conversation:
"Fellow Daoist Feng, I remember that your sect's disciples are never allowed to leave the mountain until they have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Why is that?"
Feng Piaopiao knew she talked too much and was afraid that Liu Yunqing would change her mind halfway through, so she tried her best to restrain herself from speaking.
Seeing Liu Yunqing suddenly change her cold demeanor and take the initiative to chat with him, he immediately chuckled with delight:
"You're right, that's why I snuck out!"
After saying this, Feng Piaopiao muttered indignantly:
"Anyway, if I stay on the mountain, everyone will only compare me to that guy from the Myriad Wonders Sect. I might as well sneak out to train, and once I've successfully established my foundation, I can go back and dazzle them!"
