Chapter 12 Second Brother
"Is it cold?"
Qi Rong looked at Bai Xiaoxiao who pressed her hands against her neck to keep warm.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, "It's very cold."
Qi Rong suddenly remembered something and gave an apologetic laugh. "Sorry, I forgot. Although you've joined the Wuliang Sect, I don't think you've learned any formal techniques yet. Immortal techniques to protect your body are the most basic. Once you learn how to circulate the spiritual energy within you, the cold will no longer enter your body."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked excitedly, "Third Brother, can you take me flying? The kind where..." She stretched out her index finger and drew a straight line, "chant a few spells and then suddenly we'll be up in the sky."
Qi Rong raised his eyebrows: "You mean flying with a sword?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Bai Xiaoxiao blinked her bright eyes. "Can you take me flying for a while? Every time I see the little... ahem, immortals flying around, I'm so envious. Can you take me flying for a while?"
The girl in the goose-yellow skirt pressed her palms together, her thin, pale pink lips slightly pursed, looking both cute and a bit mischievous. Qi Rong had heard many people yearn for immortal arts and celestial powers, some seeking supreme power, others obsessed with their own opinions, but she had never seen anyone with such simple and pure ideas.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know that Qi Rong’s thoughts were so diverse. She just thought that flying on a sword was so cool, escaping gravity was so cool, and ‘biu——biu——’ was so cool!
No flower rabbit can resist the temptation of flying on a sword.
No!
"Okay, okay?"
The more Bai Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more excited she became, and she prayed even harder.
Qi Rong looked at her: "Okay."
…
Flying with a sword,
There is a feeling of being above the whole world.
Everything is at our feet; even the largest things seem like a drop in the ocean.
Bai Xiaoxiao finally knew what it felt like to be "free and unrestrained".
——But of course, this kind of "wantonness" is reserved for people with good physical fitness.
“Cough cough cough…!”
The moment Bai Xiaoxiao's feet touched the ground, she almost fell to her knees. Fortunately, Qi Rong, who was beside her, supported her in time.
Bai Xiaoxiao covered her chest, feeling the pounding of her heart. She was sure that if Qi Rong flew a little faster and a little longer, she would be able to ascend to heaven directly without any training.
"Are you okay?"
Qi Rong held Bai Xiaoxiao's arm with his right hand as a support. With a flick of his left sleeve, the long sword emitting a moon-white halo disappeared instantly. He picked Bai Xiaoxiao up and said, "This is the first time I've seen someone feel so uncomfortable flying with a sword."
Bai Xiaoxiao panted heavily and waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't give me face, my physical fitness is really not good enough. And I just found out that I'm afraid of heights."
She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Qi Rong, "So, with my current condition, I won't be able to learn to fly with a sword in the future, right?"
Qi Rong was obviously hesitant: "Shouldn't it be...?"
Bai Xiaoxiao patted her chest with a sigh of relief, "That's good, it won't happen... Oh my god!"
Her body suddenly lost weight and lunged in one direction. The extremely fast speed made the surrounding scene dizzy, her head dizzy, and her stomach churning.
When Bai Xiaoxiao recovered, she saw a person appear in front of her.
He casually draped a gorgeous, intricate wide robe in bright red, with colorful gold threads outlining beautiful patterns wrapped around the collar, cuffs, and layers of robe. He lay diagonally on the treetop, like a rose blooming among the green leaves. However, the most eye-catching thing was not his gorgeous clothes or his charming lying posture, but his face - a white, powdered, ghostly face.
"Brother, who are you?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked the question in a low voice.
But the man didn't answer her immediately. He stretched out his fingertips to pinch her chin and looked left and right. "Are you the new junior sister?" He sneered in a low voice. "You are so ugly."
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard the word "so ugly", she wanted to refute it, but for some reason her mind was in a fuzzy state, and for a moment she even thought she was really ugly.
"Junior sister."
Qi Rong's voice came from below.
Bai Xiaoxiao unconsciously looked down and realized that she was hanging in mid-air by the vines. She quickly turned her head and took two deep breaths to calm her nervous heart. She heard a soft laugh and turned to glare at him: "What are you laughing at?"
The man still didn't answer her, but just snapped his fingers.
The vines wrapped around her body suddenly loosened, and Bai Xiaoxiao fell to the ground without any preparation.
The grass was soft and not too painful.
Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose, patted the dust off her skirt, stood up, and glared at the man in red robe who floated down.
"Brother, please stop teasing me." Qi Rong looked at the red-robed man helplessly, then said to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Hua Yanci, Master's second disciple, is also your second brother."
"Second Brother, OK."
Bai Xiaoxiao was polite and greeted him.
Hua Yanci approached her, slightly bent down, and looked her over. "Dual spiritual roots, this kind of talent is not rare. Why did Master accept you as his disciple?"
Hua Yanci's body seemed to be stained with a rich floral fragrance, intense but not cloying, and it felt like it would become addictive over time. Bai Xiaoxiao took a step back without revealing anything, "Maybe it's... I'm pretty."
Hua Yanci raised an eyebrow when she heard this: "Then, Junior Sister, who do you think is prettier, you or me?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's left eyelid twitched.
[You have such a thick layer of powder on your face, how can I tell whether you look good or not?]
Hua Yanci moved closer to her, her long, dark hair falling onto her shoulders. "Junior Sister, what did you just say?"
Bai Xiaoxiao avoided him and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't say anything."
Hua Yanci looked at her for a few moments, then suddenly smiled softly.
Bai Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
"Your second senior brother has always had a bit of a weird personality, don't mind it." Qi Rong embraced Bai Xiaoxiao and pulled her in front of him, while glancing at Hua Yanci with a warning.
Hua Yanci ignored Qi Rong's 'mind your own business' look and approached Bai Xiaoxiao again, asking, "Are you going to see Master?"
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yeah."
Hua Yanci also nodded: "Then I will go with you."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "Ah?"
…
The scenery of the mountain can be described as warm sunshine, clear streams, green grass and bright flowers.
Qi Rong explained to her that Qing Li used some magic to make the scenery on the top of the mountain not as plain and elegant as that at the foot of the mountain, and it was embellished with some spring colors. In short, it was - I have immortal power, and I am happy.
Bai Xiaoxiao was like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city, asking questions everywhere.
Finally, they came to a white jade staircase that went straight into the sky.
"Master is waiting for you up there."
Qi Rong explained to Bai Xiaoxiao, but his pause clearly meant that he would no longer lead the way.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the stairs that seemed to have no end.
No wonder everyone says Wuliang Sect is the best place to hone one's character. With stairs everywhere, if you don't have a good character, you'll go crazy sooner or later.
