Chapter 103: Chapter 103: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 17)
During the following period, Gu Shengyin gave lectures on Sword Dao at the Sword Debate Hall every few days, and news about her gradually spread.
The Ice Heart Sword Emperor, who had recently made such a big name for herself on the Tianlan Continent, turned out to be their uncle-master who was imparting Sword Dao!
Gu Shengyin clearly felt that there were more disciples attending the Sword Debate Hall lately, and those disciples looked at her with admiration.
For some unknown reason, Xuan Ke would come to the Sword Debate Hall to escort her back to Lingyun Peak after she finished her lectures on Sword Dao every day.
One day, the system suddenly sent a message to Gu Shengyin: Bai Xinya, together with Xi Liufeng, had appeared in the Qifeng Valley of the Southern Region in the Tianlan Great World.
Knowing the original plot, Gu Shengyin was of course aware that Qifeng Valley was actually a live volcano, and it was here that Bai Xinya was afflicted with Fire Poison.
How did Bai Xinya, who is currently reflecting at the Peak of Reflection, end up in Qifeng Valley?
Before Gu Shengyin could even ask, she received a command issued by the system.
“You want me to go to Qifeng Valley and stop Bai Xinya from obtaining the Fire Eye Essence?” Gu Shengyin asked.
To be honest, since Gu Shengyin had started taking on missions, the system had hardly required her to carry out any tasks. Receiving such a sudden command, she found it rather novel.
The system, oblivious to the twists and turns in Gu Shengyin’s mind, stated in a matter-of-fact tone, “The efficacy of Fire Eye Essence is Cleansing Essence and Cutting Marrow, refining Sword Heart. Bai Xinya’s goal is to use Fire Eye Essence to enhance her own aptitude. The system has detected Bai Xinya’s malevolence towards the host at seventy percent, with her current state towards the host: enmity. It is highly likely that she will pose a threat to the host.”
“It is the system’s responsibility to eliminate dangers for the host, therefore, the host must prevent Bai Xinya from obtaining the Fire Eye Essence.”
Gu Shengyin nodded and then suddenly asked, “I don’t recall offending Bai Xinya. Why would she hold enmity towards me?”
The system: “Detecting… Detection failed… The human heart is too complicated; the system cannot analyze the data on Bai Xinya’s psychological changes.”
Gu Shengyin: Listening to the system’s serious response suddenly felt very amusing.
Since she had a mission, Gu Shengyin naturally had to complete it. She went to Xuan Ke’s residence and explained her intention.
“You want to go to Qifeng Valley?” Xuan Ke furrowed his brows, “That place is always scorching hot and barren, what is there to see? I have had an insight recently and plan to go into seclusion for a while. Why don’t you wait a few days, and then I’ll accompany you there?”
Gu Shengyin thought to herself, by the time you leave seclusion, the Flame Essence would have long been in Bai Xinya’s hands.
She shook her head, “Senior brother, I’m just feeling a bit bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Don’t worry, I promise not to cause trouble this time. After all, as a Sword Cultivator at the Sword Emperor realm, I should have some ability to protect myself.”
Xuan Ke had no choice but to say, “Then you must prioritize your safety, and make sure to contact me in time if anything happens.”
As she was about to leave, Xuan Ke suddenly called her back.
Seeing his younger apprentice sister looking at him with some perplexity, Xuan Ke felt his face become slightly hot.
“Junior sister, you are inexperienced in the ways of the world, don’t be deceived by others when you’re outside, especially as I’ve heard, many men use sweet words to lure beautiful women.”
Gu Shengyin couldn’t hold back her expression and chuckled out loud upon hearing this.
“I understand, senior brother. Don’t worry, if they are not as good-looking as you, I won’t even give them a glance.”
