"Mu Tian, stop right there. You won’t let me in, but you come in yourself."
Qian Xunyue quickened her pace, and stood coldly in front of Ye Tian, saying.
Ye Tian looked at the woman standing before him. Her long hair reached her waist, her skin was like cream, and her eyes were like dark lacquer. She had a slender, graceful figure, soft jade-like arms, elegantly curved, long legs, and smooth, finely cut calves complemented by the delicate, jade-like iciness of her skin. She stood gracefully.
Furthermore, with her mature charm and poise, four words inadvertently floated in his mind — peerlessly graceful.
"Mu Tian, what are you looking at!!" Qian Xunyue’s face seemed to freeze in an instant as she said, "I’m talking to you. Even though you can kill the Black Water Snake, it’s too dangerous here. I won’t allow you to go in."
"I’m looking at you!"
Ye Tian smiled lightly, pointing at Qian Xunyue as he bypassed her and continued to walk forward.
"I’m still talking to you!!" Qian Xunyue was even more angry. Why wouldn’t he listen to her advice? She barred Ye Tian with her arm and said, "No, if you insist on going in, you must follow me. I can’t protect you otherwise."
"Teacher, I see you’re always cold towards everyone. Why are you so passionate about me?" Ye Tian, feeling very helpless, just wanted to get the Heavenly Demon Flower as soon as possible. He said, "Do you like me??"
Looking at Ye Tian’s face so close to hers, and hearing his earnest words, Qian Xunyue was momentarily speechless. As the Holy Daughter of the Yaoshi Holy Land, she seemed to be at a loss for words now. She had never encountered love before.
Looking at Ye Tian, close at hand, with a face as handsome as a god’s, and an ethereal, pristine demeanor like an immortal, and warm eyes under the sunlight imbued with a gaze that seemed to overwhelm the world, he was so captivating.
"Qian Xunyue, what are you thinking?" Qian Xunyue realized she had been gazing at the man before her, and quickly resumed her icy demeanor, thinking, "The hatred of the Yaochi must still be avenged."
"Mu Tian, what are you thinking?" Qian Xunyue said coldly, "I am your teacher, you must listen to me and follow me."
Ye Tian was full of black lines, not expecting this ice-cold teacher to be so kind-hearted, always trying to protect him, a student she barely knew.
The sound of shaking leaves came, and a shadow gradually lengthened, though with a somewhat stooped appearance.
Qian Xunyue immediately stood in front of Ye Tian, warily shouting at the shadow, "Who?? Who is it?? Come out!!"
"Holy Daughter, it’s me! It’s the old woman!"
"I’ve been looking for you for a long time, and I finally found you."
Suddenly, an old woman walked out from the bushes, who had been controlled by the five brothers of the Netherworld Sect. She looked very excited as she walked over with a trembling body and said.
"Granny Chi, it’s you!! You weren’t caught by them, you escaped." Qian Xunyue was extremely surprised and joyful, saying, "That’s great, I am not the only one left from the Yaoshi Holy Land, truly great."
"Holy Daughter, are you here to find the Yaochi Holy Water!!" The old woman’s eyes flashed a hint of black light, quickly restored, saying, "How wonderful, with the Holy Water, we will have the means to fight against the Netherworld Sect."
"Holy Daughter, where is the Yaochi Holy Water? Let me accompany you. Although this old woman is severely injured, I will fight to the death to assist you."
The old woman’s expression was genuinely vivid; no one would suspect she was merely a puppet.
"Granny Chi, slow down." Qian Xunyue quickly ran over to support the old woman, saying, "I’ve been in the Western Kunlun for half a year now, and I’ve finally found the location of the Yaochi Holy Water, deep within the Star Spirit Mountain, inside the Star Cave."
On the other side, the five brothers of the Netherworld Sect were waiting like sit-and-wait, sneering on their faces as they watched the scene in the Sky Patrol Mirror, talking and laughing, "So that’s where the Treasure of the Yaoshi Holy Land, the Yaochi Holy Water, is, deep within the Western Kunlun, inside something called the Star Cave."
"What was the old ancestor of the Yaoshi Holy Land thinking, placing it so far away? But this Holy Daughter truly lives up to her reputation as a peerless genius, still able to find it."
"Big brother, when we capture her, don’t kill her right away. Let little brother have some fun. Such a beautiful woman, it would be a pity if she just died like that."
"Shut up, the Yaochi Holy Daughter is someone the Young Master wants. If even one hair on her head is harmed, the entire Netherworld Sect would be annihilated. Put away your lewd thoughts, haven’t you had enough women?"
The eldest brother of the Netherworld Sect sternly rebuked the fifth brother, giving no leeway. Mentioning the young master made his heart shudder with fear, respect, and longing.
The second brother of the Netherworld Sect, the most cautious person in the group, muttered to himself, "From the aura transmitted by the Sky Patrol Mirror, Qian Xunyue’s cultivation is at most the Sixth Rank of the Spirit Martial Realm. It seems I was overthinking."
"But why does this uneasy feeling keep growing? What’s going on? Is my sixth sense failing me?"
While the second brother was racking his brain, thinking about why he had such a feeling, he saw something that made his hair stand on end. A young man in the mirror was smiling eerily at him.
Bang~~ The second brother fell heavily to the ground, horrified, with cold sweat breaking out. That smile was simply terrifying.
"Second Brother, what’s wrong?" The fifth brother, seeing the second brother’s odd behavior, smiled curiously, "Are you excited because we’re about to capture the Yaochi Holy Daughter and go back to get rewarded by the Young Master?"
"No... no, did any of you just see a very eerie man in the Sky Patrol Mirror?"
The second brother shook his head crazily, wiping his sweat with his sleeve, pointing tremblingly at the mirror.
So the fifth brother leaned in, laughing, "Second Brother, you’re overthinking. Where’s the man you mentioned? There are only the Yaochi Holy Daughter and that old woman."
The eldest brother also frowned. Usually calm, the second brother was acting unsettled since they arrived at the Star Spirit Mountain, speaking incoherent things. He patted the second brother’s shoulder heavily, saying solemnly, "Second Brother, relax. There are no men on it!!"
"The Sky Patrol Mirror is a Treasure the Young Master brought from above. How could it not see everything? You’re overthinking it."
The second brother cautiously peered forward once more. Indeed, there were only Qian Xunyue and Granny Chi, no one else. He rubbed his eyes and saw the same, closed his eyes, and said, "I must have been overthinking. What’s wrong with me today?"
At this moment, Qian Xunyue was pulled aside by Granny Chi, who was whispering something secretive. Qian Xunyue’s face flushed red as she glared at Ye Tian.
But Ye Tian missed the captivating sight as he turned his head towards the depths of the Star Spirit Mountain, his eyes flashing with insight, saying, "Interesting, someone’s spying on the two of them!!"
"But it’s just a petty trick, easily bypassed."
