True Master Wen Ying, Xia Wenyin, a teacher from the Comrce Departnt of the All-World Academy, was unexpectedly collecting silver debts from the big bartender in this tall building on a bright day.
...
On the other side, the exchange eting lasted for a day and a night, not coming to an end until the evening of the next day when Yu Qingtan returned to the Qin Academy, accompanied by Shi Kuang.
After escorting Yu Qingtan to the guest room, Yan Xi went back to the adjacent room, and Shi Kuang suddenly said, "Fairy Qingtan, Kuang has composed a new piece and would be honored if you could give it your appraisal."
"Qingtan is most honored!"
Shi Kuang approached the table, took out the Nine Heavens Ring Pei Qin, and looking at Yu Qingtan who had taken a seat in front of him, he began to play.
The music was tender and yet passionately unrestrained.
There were no flashy special effects, only the most sincere emotions.
There is a beauty, unforgettable upon sight; not seen for a single day, thoughts of her drive one mad.
It turned out to be a rendition of "A Phoenix Seeks His Mate".
Yu Qingtan felt her cheeks heat up as she listened, and she lowered her head to look at the tips of her little leather shoes.
"Fairy Qingtan, Kuang admires you deeply; I wonder if you could accept Kuang's affection?"
After finishing the piece, Shi Kuang stared at Yu Qingtan as he directly confessed his feelings.
Yu Qingtan sighed inwardly; why was cultivating affections in the Cultivation World so challenging? Everyone liked to make grand gestures. Why couldn't they be restrained and shy like she had been in her previous life?
Perhaps cultivators were simply more unrestrained.
Luckily, she had conducted a test: once the Affection Value was offered, even if the other person fell out of love, they would not take it back.
So she also lifted her head to look at Shi Kuang and said, "Thank you, Young Master Shi, for your misguided affection. Young Master Shi is a kind person, but Qingtan is devoted to seeking the Dao and has no interest in romantic relationships. I hope you will forgive ."
She had said similar things to Fang Ling and Xiang Yiyi, and she might need to say them to even more people in the future. She intended to beco a heartless distributor of friendship tokens.
"It's not that I wish to attract admirers; it's the system forcing my hand. My dear fish, do not bla Qingtan!"
Shi Kuang likely had so ntal preparation, and upon hearing these words, he did not react too strongly, though his mood noticeably dropped.
"If that is the case, then it is Kuang who has been presumptuous. I wish Fairy Qingtan a smooth path in the Dao. From now on, we shall be fellow Daoists."
Yu Qingtan felt that perhaps Shi Kuang only wanted to experience the taste of love; though it wasn't perfect, the lesson was profound.
What is love in this world that can turn so many cultivators into fools? Yu Qingtan, in her previous life, had also experienced the sweetness and bitterness of love. In this life, as a young lady with the prospect of eternal life, naturally, she did not want to be burdened by emotions again.
Suffering the setback of unrequited love, Shi Kuang left Yu Qingtan's guest room in a sowhat desolate state, and before long, Zhou Lan, Jing Hao, and Zhong Yao stopped him.
"Big brother Shi, I have so wine. Would you like a drink?" Zhong Yao offered a wine flask.
"We treat you as a brother, but you wanted to be our teacher's husband. Seems like that's not happening now, huh."
Jing Hao teased pretendingly.
Shi Kuang gave him a thump on the shoulder, "Let's go drink!"
...
The next day, Jing Hao ca over and gave Yu Qingtan and her companion a thorough tour of the All-World Academy and Qu Fu Immortal City.
Qu Fu Immortal City is ho to over two billion Cultivators and, as far as Yu Qingtan was aware, it was the only Immortal City not divided into Inner and Outer Cities.
Qu Fu Immortal City had no city walls either, but there was the Qu Fu River that encircled the entire city, five miles wide, serving as a moat. A series of watchtowers were built along the river, and with these towers and the Qu Fu River, Qu Fu Immortal City had arranged an imnsely powerful Fourth Stage Protective City Formation, the Azure Water Reaching Sky Great Array.
In such large Immortal Cities teeming with Cultivators, Yu Qingtan felt right at ho, yet she didn't imdiately stir up sches to gather Charm Points.
That was because attempting All-Under-Heaven Peak was an excellent way to harvest Charm Points. Not only because everyone in Qu Fu Immortal City knew about All-Under-Heaven Peak, but also because the city had four giant steles called "All Under Heaven
