Chapter 78: Chapter 13 Just left the East Sea, Heading to Shushan again
“Ah Jing, does this Li Qinniang have any ill intentions towards me?” Luo Yan asked.
This broken mirror wouldn’t produce oil unless squeezed; he always had to proactively ask before it would speak. Before inquiring, he had no idea it had the ability to sense ill will.
“Currently, no,” the Kunlun Mirror replied. “She is simply curious about you.”
“Oh, she’s coveting my body, huh.” Luo Yan sneered, “Ah Jing, keep a close watch on her, and report back immediately if anything unusual happens.”
Kunlun Mirror: ………
Are you sick? Do you think every woman is coveting your body?
However, there indeed seemed to be something off about this Li Qinniang, hmm…
Ah Jing decided to observe her for a while first.
After the meal, Miss Shi couldn’t stop praising the Five-Mushroom Five-Delicacies Soup, especially the abalone and lobster soups.
Luo Yan, on the other hand, preferred seafood hotpot. It felt like he was back to the days before his time travel when he would go out for amunal pot with his three college roommates on weekends.
s, while others graduated and looked for jobs, I started cultivating immortality; everyone has a bright future ahead of them.<div>
Stuffed and satisfied, they left the Si Hai Building. Shi Liuli then suggested inspecting the local market.
Li Qinniang readily agreed, only Luo Yan inwardly cried out in dismay.
Be they mortals or immortals, women’s behavior is universally the same in a ce filled with shops.
The only difference being that many girls just browse without buying, whereas Miss Shi has been ustomed to a life of luxury from a very young age, wandering the market and buying anything she liked without hesitation, never bothering to ask the price.
Soon, her treasure pouch was filled to the brim, and she took Luo Yan’s storage bag, continuing her shopping spree as if nothing happened.
Stunned by Shi Liuli’s generous actions, Li Qinniang watched from behind and, after a long while, said to Luo Yan:
“Shi Daoist… truly is a heroine among women.”
Luo Yan nced at her indifferently, then suddenly feigned surprise and asked:
“Eh? Didn’t Li Daoist herself im that you met my senior sister at the Fanghu Market? She practically emptied the entire market that day, didn’t Li Daoist see her?”
“I was with Senior Sister Yng at that time,” Li Qinniang replied without a change in her expression, “I only had a brief encounter with Shi Daoist.”
“I see,” Luo Yan said, as if oblivious to anything amiss, and continued, “By the way, Li Daoist has also joined ‘Zhang Tian Society’?”
“Mhm,” Li Qinniang nodded.
“There was one question I got wrong in the entry exam,” Luo Yan said with narrowed eyes and a smile. “What is Qiu Changtian’s favorite color? Could Li Daoist enlighten me?”
“I answered purple,” Li Qinniang also smiled, “I just don’t know whether it was correct.”
“She’s lying,” the Kunlun Mirror said inside the Sea of Consciousness.
“Purple?” Luo Yan asked, puzzled, “Why purple?”
“Because I like purple,” Li Qinniang said with a smile, “I figure that even if Qiu Changtian doesn’t like purple, he probably wouldn’t dislike it.”
Luo Yan: ………
This woman’s level was quite high; even though he already knew she was lying, on the surface, there was nothing to fault her for.<div>
“What are you two whispering about back there?” From the front, Shi Liuli, who had been shopping for a while, finally noticed her little junior brother and the newly acquainted ‘bestie’ sharingughs and hurried back to ask in panic.
“We’re talking about the Zhang Tian Society,” Li Qinniang replied smoothly without a hitch.
“Is that so?” Shi Liuli blinked, seemingly still a bit skeptical.
But after Li Qinniang whispered a few words to her, Shi Liuli immediately understood and the two of them happily continued their market stroll.<div>
Luo Yan watched the backs of the twodies with narrowed eyes, a cold light flickering within.
This trip to the Wuzhi Cave, as well as Miss Li Qinniang, who was to meet them, was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
However, the priority was still the Shushan Sectpetition involving Ling Yunpo. There was no need to initiate a new quest line at the moment.
Best to focus on advancing the Shushan storyline first.
While the two youngdies ahead had not yet shifted their attention onto him, Luo Yan quickly found a secluded spot nearby and began to load his save.
[Save Point Two: Qingluo Peak, Shushan Shangqing Faction.]
[Character Identity: Ling Yunpo.]
[Mirror Flower Water Moon Temte ovey, undergoing time-space travel.]
Returning to Qingluo Peak in Shushan, he also changed his illusory appearance to that of Ling Yunpo.
The great Shushanpetition was imminent. The prices of elixirs, spirit grass, and others in the various markets had all surged.
It was said that long queues had already formed at the Sword Pool. The reason was that many Shushan disciples dissatisfied with the grade rank of their Flying Swords were there to draw better ones.
It was fortunate that the upper echelons of the Shushan Shangqing Faction were straightforward in their ways, putting no obstacles in the way of drawing swords from the Sword Pool.
If it had been the calcting Peni Yuqing View, you’d probably see “pay Spirit Stones to draw a Flying Sword,” coupled with “ten-draw deals,” “168 Spirit Stone package,” “648 Spirit Stone package,” and I guarantee these Shushan disciples would be crying for their fathers, investing their entire fortunes into it.<div>
Of course, Ling Yunpo, as a Sword Immortal with awareness, had long abandoned such narrow thinking of “relying on external objects.”
A Sword Immortal who does not polish oneself but instead relies on a Flying Sword is surely on a wicked path!
I, Ling Yunpo, did not farm the Sword Pool either. I simply drew a random sword and used it, and haven’t I firmly stepped up to my current position, step by step?
“Junior Brother!” An Zhisu returned from outside the view and smiled, “Look what I bought for you?”
“This is…?” Ling Yunpo looked over, “A Sword Box?”
“Exactly,” An Zhisu said with a beaming smile, “We Shushan Sword Immortals carry our swords within ourselves and can only nurture our Life-bound Sword Artifacts.”
“But if you’re proficient in Two-Handed Sword Control Technique, you can then keep a second sword in the Sword Box to nurture it.”
“This Sword Box is made entirely from maite iron, and it’s ideal for nurturing Metal System Flying Swords.”
“Your Thunder Punishment Sword happens to be of the Metal System. Isn’t that perfect?”
Ling Yunpo was profoundly touched and said,
“Senior Sister, you are so thoughtful. But where did this Sword Boxe from?”
“I won it at an auction in a nearby market,” An Zhisu said with a chuckle, “It didn’t cost much.”
Upon hearing that it was purchased rather than a gift from some fawning admirer, Ling Yunpo breathed a sigh of relief and slung the Sword Box on his back.<div>
Then, with a gesture of a sword technique, his Thunder Punishment Sword shot up from his waist and automatically inserted itself into the Sword Box.
“Sword Master!” The Thunderbane let out the cheerfulughter of a young girl, “This Sword Box is truly wonderful. It’s spacious andfortable to live in, and I feel full of power.”
Ling Yunpo didn’t pay it any mind, just turning to Senior Sister An with a smile,
“Senior Sister’s foresight is truly impressive. I’ve been feelingtely that I was missing something, and it turns out it was this Sword Box.”
He stood in front of a bronze mirror, turning back and forth for a moment.
Not bad, impressively imposing, Ling Yunpo’s persona’s charm finally enhanced.
An Zhisu stood behind him, her eyes brimming with tender emotion, looking at her junior brother dressed in a blue sword robe, carrying the Sword Box, standing with his hands behind his back, and suddenly, for no particr reason, she thought of their master.
For a moment, she felt the urge to cry but tried hard to hold back the tears.
