Thinking of this, his speed suddenly increased, and before long, he arrived in front of Yi Xian Sect.
Su Yan lowered his flying sword, took Lin Qingyue’s hand, and walked up the steps before them.
The junior and senior sisters passing by saw Su Yan’s figure and greeted him with smiles.
When they noticed the girl beside him, they couldn’t help but ask, “Junior Brother Su Yan, who’s this…?”
Su Yan smiled and said, “This is the new disciple Master has taken in, and also my junior sister.”
Upon hearing this, the senior sisters showed extrely surprised expressions. Tian Shui Peak valued quality over quantity—its three senior sisters were all cultivation geniuses. Su Yan had been accepted due to his special constitution, but this girl in front of them…
“Hello, Little Junior Sister.”
The surrounding disciples’ gazes toward Lin Qingyue instantly changed. They carefully sized her up and only then realized that, whether in appearance or deanor, this girl was top-tier.
No need to say more—she must be another exceptional genius! Building a good relationship with her now might pay off with her support in the future.
Lin Qingyue felt like she was dreaming. She’d originally thought it was a scam, but now that they’d reached the sect, they wouldn’t deceive her, right?
“This is actually real!”
Lin Qingyue pinched her own face.
Su Yan laughed and said, “Of course it’s real. I’ll take you to et Master right now.”
With that, Su Yan led the way forward, heading toward Tian Shui Peak.
But halfway there, they encountered an unexpected figure.
Qin Ying’s face was cold as she silently stared at him.
Being looked at like this made Su Yan feel a bit uncomfortable, but thinking that it’s better to resolve grudges than deepen them, he stepped forward with a smile and greeted her.
“Hello, Senior Sister Qin!”
No one could resist his smile, but Qin Ying acted as if she hadn’t seen it, saying flatly, “Mm, I heard you broke through to Foundation Establishnt. Congratulations.”
Though her mouth said congratulations, her face showed no trace of intending to celebrate.
Su Yan was used to it, so he didn’t mind.
“How did Senior Sister Qin know I broke through?”
Qin Ying said, “I’ve heard so rumors lately. It’s not important.”
“I want to tell you, it’s not easy for a man to cultivate. Since you have this aptitude, focus your mind on cultivation. Perhaps in the future, you can achieve immortality and the Dao. Don’t go provoking won anymore.”
These words ca out of nowhere, leaving Su Yan utterly confused.
When had he provoked won? Besides his three senior sisters, he hadn’t ssed with anyone!
And even with his senior sisters, they were the ones drooling over him—he hadn’t actively seduced them.
Seeing him play dumb, Qin Ying said faintly, “With such a pretty face, why can’t you just behave yourself?”
This—
Su Yan was stunned. How was he not behaving? Don’t talk nonsense—his junior sister was right here!
Worried Lin Qingyue might misunderstand, Su Yan wanted to explain, but options suddenly popped up before him.
[Option 1: Sneer at Qin Ying and say, “Whether I behave or not is none of your business. You’re really like a dog chasing a rat—ddling in things that don’t concern you!” (Reward: Mid-Grade Spiritual Weapon, Cloud-Piercing Sword)]
[Option 2: Lean in close to Qin Ying and say, “You’re so concerned about my affairs—could you be jealous?” (Reward: Low-Grade Spiritual Weapon, Flying Cloud Needle)]
[Option 3: Say nothing and ignore Qin Ying. (Reward: Body-Tempering Pill/Inferior Version)]
Su Yan looked at the options. The first was too offensive—it didn’t fit his character.
The second was plain flirting—how could he dare?
As for the third…
“No choice.”
Su Yan sighed. Ignoring Senior Sister Qin just this once shouldn’t be a big deal.
With that thought, he kept a smile on his face and walked past her.
Qin Ying’s eyes widened. Not only did this guy ignore her advice, he treated her like air—and he was mocking her with that smile!
“You…”
Qin Ying’s body trembled with anger.
Rage.
Uncontrollable rage.
How could such a beautiful, pure-looking man have such a fickle heart, refusing to change despite her repeated warnings!
Qin Ying took a deep breath, watching his back as her thoughts drifted.
The first ti she saw him was on a sunny afternoon, passing by a cherry blossom tree, when she caught sight of him.
He stood under the tree, a gentle breeze brushing his face, lifting the strands of hair by his ears.
Qin Ying had frozen in place, stunned that such a gorgeous man existed in this world.
Since that day, she started paying attention to him, even occasionally blushing in her dreams as she thought of him.
But having never fallen for anyone before and lacking experience in such matters, she buried it in her heart, quietly observing him.
Soon, though, Qin Ying noticed sothing off. Su Yan had an ambiguous relationship with his three senior sisters.
Love between n and won was perfectly normal, but Su Yan was two-timing or rather, three-timing—teasing his senior sisters, playing hard to get, striking poses that said everything and nothing at once.
He made each senior sister feel like she had a shot, using his looks to toy with them, and even that wasn’t enough, he’d now hooked his junior sister too!
“I never thought your true nature was this rotten!”
Qin Ying bit her lower lip lightly, the red nearly drawing blood.
Her first crush—how did she fall for such a scumbag!
She hated herself too. Knowing his true colors, she still couldn’t let go, even wanting to change him, never giving up.
“So people can’t be changed.”
Qin Ying told herself this, her eyes dimming.
Tap.
Just then, footsteps sounded beside her.
Qin Ying looked up, and a graceful figure ca into view.
Wearing a purple skirt, her long hair flowing down to her waist, she had a graceful figure and smooth, jade-like shoulders—an undeniable beauty.
“Senior Sister Xiao?”
Qin Ying’s eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Wu, the eldest senior sister of Tian Shui Peak, was eighteen years old and already at the late Golden Core stage. She was the daughter of Yi Xian Sect’s leader—a true genius among geniuses.
But to Qin Ying, she had another title—Su Yan’s biggest admirer!
“Hmph!”
Xiao Wu, using her height to her advantage, stepped closer and looked down at Qin Ying with a smug expression.
That look irritated Qin Ying. What was this fangirl so proud of?
Xiao Wu smirked. “I’ve been watching you. You like Junior Brother Su Yan, don’t you? Others try to win him over with flattery, but you act differently on purpose, thinking that’ll make you stand out.”
“I’ve got to say, you’re clever, but too naive. Junior Brother saw through you easily—what a self-inflicted humiliation!”
Those words shattered Qin Ying’s defenses instantly.
“I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Qin Ying said, her face red.
But she could fool others, not herself. Was it really nothing?
All those “chance” encounters, the secret glances, even thinking of him during cultivation…
